Question: what does ‘wahabi’ mean and why do you use it?

Wahhabism refers to a movement within Salafism concerned with the purification of Islamic traditions. It was founded by a scholar by the name of Muhammed ibn Abdul Wahhab. Wahhabism is concerned with the idea of Islamic revivalism and restorationism. The idea that absolute monotheism must be cleansed from every impurity and theological assumption about God's Oneness in the sense that nothing can be attributed to God's Uniquess which upon would compromise Monotheism. Due to this belief, Wahhabism is concerned with eliminating innovations and beliefs in sainthood and saint veneration, which is held to be a form of idolatry, strictly ordering the destruction and desecration of Shrines and the likes.

Wahhabism considers any branch of Islam that does not adhere to Sunni Orthodoxy to be a form of heresy, professing that anyone who strays from their belief is an apostate by excommunicating them (=Takfir). This is why they're opposed to Shi'a Muslims, various Sufis and any Sunni Muslim that stray from their religious belief.

Like other Salafi schools, Wahhabists believe that Taqlid (=following a religious school) is discouraged, if not detested, and Islam must be investigated in the traditional and literalist sense rather than following the consensus. This means that any metaphorical and allegorical exegesis is rejected in favour of a literal interpretation of the Qur'an. For example, if God says "He sees the universe with his eyes", then it must be assumed that God have eyes in the most literal sense. Anyone who strays from this tradition falls into disbelief they claim.

Wahhabism have a historical alliance with the House of Saud , who which Wahhabism became the established state religion within the terroritories of al-Saud. Wahhabi clerics used their monopoly over religious authority to construct a puritanical religious culture by suppressing dissent and non-Wahhabi Muslims, even going so far as to ban travel to neighbouring Islamic countries. Madkhalism is a form of Wahhabism that upholds that Muslims must obey the ruler of a land they reside, thereby considering any dissent to be a form of deviancy, hence their strong support for the Saudi regime.

[farisjax]

Now see them [Madhkhalis] belittling and speaking against Joulani (now Al-Saraa) and proving from hadith to not obey him. See how Allah will expose them once again. Because the hadith of "obeying the ruler " according to them only fits Muhammad bin Salman. Allah has exposed them during the starting days of the Palestinian Genocide and Allah will expose them more[ in sha Allah] . Now the Hadith and sayings of the salaf will be extracted from the books and will be used to disavow Joulani but will not be used for Salman. May Allah protect Saudi from the oppressors and may Allah free our scholars and may Allah bring relief to every muslim in oppression and may Allah guide everyone.

al-ʿUrwatu al-Wuthqāʾ❝❞:

Takfīr on the Madākhîlah and Surūriyyah.

Question: How and why do you make takfīr on the Madākhīla and Surūriyyah, i believe they can be excused individually?

Correct Answer: Every Madkhalī and Surūri is a Kāfir Murtād Individually and Generally and there is no reasoning whatsoever they're worse in Kufr then the ancient Jahmiyyah.

Bismillāh ar-Raḥmān ar-Raḥīm 

Alḥamdulillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu was-salāmu ʿala Rasūlillāh, wa baʿd:

In response to your question to address the issue of Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, particularly regarding the issue of individual takfīr and their stance on tawḥīd and Ṭawāghīt, I will, by the will of Allāh, address the various points in detail, drawing from the guidance of the scholars of the Salaf and using authentic references to support the argument.

1. The Core Issue: The Nullifiers of Islām and Tawḥīd

First and foremost, the discussion on tawḥīd should always begin with the fundamental understanding of what it means to believe in the oneness of Allāh. Tawḥīd al-Ulūhiyyah requires complete rejection of Ṭāghūt and the unequivocal allegiance to Allāh alone.

The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah have systematically violated the core principles of tawḥīd by aligning themselves with the ṭawāghīt, defending them, and attacking the Muslims who stand up against these oppressive regimes. This is a violation of multiple nullifiers of Islām (nawāqid al-Islām), as outlined by the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah, particularly Shaykh Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (raḥimahullāh).

One of the major nullifiers, the third nullifier of Islām, states: "Whoever does not declare the disbelievers to be disbelievers, or doubts in their disbelief, has himself disbelieved."_ The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah fall under this nullifier by refusing to declare the ṭawāghīt and their supporters as disbelievers.

The eighth nullifier is even more explicit: "Assisting the kuffār against the Muslims." The Madākhilah, in their support of regimes like the Saudi government or Turkey or Libya, actively assist these ṭawāghīt who wage war against the Mujāhidīn and the sincere Muslims striving to establish the Sharīʿah. The very act of supporting such regimes places them in clear opposition to the principles of tawḥīd.

2. The Jahmī Tendency of Separating Actions from Belief

The Jahmīyyāh, in their false creed, sought to separate belief from actions, claiming that as long as one holds faith internally, their outward actions do not affect their status as believers. Today, the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah propagate a similar belief by excusing individuals who align with ṭawāghīt, even when their actions clearly show allegiance to the enemies of Islâm. Some individuals claim that taqlīd (blind following of scholars) or ignorance (jahl) is a valid excuse for not declaring takfīr on the rulers or those who support them.

However, the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah, particularly Imām Ahmad ibn Ḥanbal (raḥimahullāh), have always refuted such claims. He stood firm against the Jahmiyyah Takfīred them Generally and Individually in his time and declared that belief must be reflected in actions. One cannot claim to hold tawḥīd in their heart while outwardly engaging in acts of kufr or supporting those who commit kufr.

Imām Al Khalāf Ahmād Ibn Taymiyyah (raḥimahullāh), in refuting the Murjī’ah and Jahmīyyāh, emphasized that belief (īmān) consists of both inward faith and outward action. If the outward actions of a person demonstrate kufr, such as supporting ṭawāghīt or failing to declare the disbelievers as kuffār, then this is sufficient to nullify their Islām, regardless of their claims of internal belief.

3. The False Argument of 'Individual Udhr'

In your defense of the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, you mention that "Every Madkhalī and Surūrī is not a kāfir individually; it depends on their beliefs." This argument, however, is deeply flawed because it suggests that the basis of takfīr should only be on an individual basis, ignoring the open kufr that is manifest in their actions.

The classical scholars of Islâm, including Shaykh Sulaymān ibn ʿAbdullāh (raḥimahullāh), explicitly stated that alliances with kuffār and ṭawāghīt are acts of open kufr, and there is no excuse for such actions unless a person is under ikrāh Al Muljī. In his book, ad-Dalāʾil, Shaykh Sulaymān explains that whoever aids the kuffār in any form whether through words, actions, or weapons has committed kufr. This applies directly to the Madākhīlah and Surūriyyah, who aid regimes like Āl-Saʿūd, who ally with the disbelievers to fight the Muslims.

Imām Ahmad Shākir (raḥimahullāh) also made this very clear in his statement: 

"Whoever supports the kuffār against the Muslims, this is absolute apostasy and undeniable unbelief." He further emphasized that there is no excuse, no valid interpretation, and no room for patriotism or politics in this matter. The Madākhilah’s support of the Saudi regime, and the Surūriyyah’s support of secularist regimes, falls squarely under this description of apostasy.

4. No Excuse of Ignorance in Tawḥīd

Another major point some raise is the idea that a layman Madkhalī or Surūrī may be excused for being "confused" by their scholars. However, tawḥīd is not an issue where ignorance can be an excuse. The essence of tawḥīd is clear, and no one can claim to be ignorant of the requirement to reject ṭawāghīt and oppose their oppression. The third nullifier of Islām as mentioned by Shaykh Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb is very clear: "Whoever does not declare the disbelievers to be disbelievers, or doubts in their disbelief, has himself disbelieved."

This applies directly to anyone who fails to declare takfīr on the ṭawāghīt, regardless of their level of knowledge. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not make exceptions for laymen in matters of belief. Those who ally with the enemies of Islām, even if they claim to do so out of ignorance or blind following of scholars, have committed an act of clear-cut kufr.

Ibn Battā (raḥimahullāh) and many Eminent Scholars have said clearly that: 

"Whoever does not declare takfīr on the ṭawāghīt or on those who ally with them has committed kufr himself."

This is the reality of the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah: by refusing to declare the disbelief of the ṭawāghīt and defending those who wage war against Islām, they have left the fold of tawḥīd. Ignorance or confusion does not excuse such blatant acts of kufr.

5. The Eighth Nullifier and Its Application to Madākhilah and Surūriyyah

The eighth nullifier of Islām is perhaps the most relevant to this discussion. Shaykh Muhammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (raḥimahullāh) described it as: "Supporting the kuffār against the Muslims." The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah not only support the ṭawāghīt regimes that oppress Muslims, but they actively work to delegitimize the Mujāhidīn who fight against these tyrants.

The Qurʾān is explicit in its condemnation of those who ally with the enemies of Islām. In Sūrah al-Māʾidah (5:51), Qāl Allāhu Tā Alā: "Whoever from amongst you allies with them [the disbelievers], then indeed, he is from them."

The Madākhilah’s support for the Saudi regime, Libya and many other Secular Communist countries and the Surūriyyah’s support for secularist governments, makes them part of the camp of the disbelievers. They have clearly violated the eighth nullifier of Islām, and there is no excuse for such betrayal.

6. The Layman and Taqlīd: No Excuse in Tawḥīd

Tawḥīd is the essence of Islām and the clear divide between Įmān and kufr. There is no room for confusion in this matter, especially concerning al-walāʾ wal-barāʾ (loyalty and disavowal), which is one of the essential branches of tawḥīd.

Ignorance (jahl), misinterpretation (tawīl), and doubtful arguments (shubuhāt), as well as blind following (taqlīd), are not valid excuses for clear kufr or major shirk.

Otherwise, the Companions (Sahābah) would have excused Musaylama the liar (Musaylama al-Kadhdhāb), and they would have said, "But look at the hadīth of the man who doubted the power of Allāh" (shakk fi qudratillāh), using it as evidence, and so, let’s excuse Musaylima.

If that were the case, then we should excuse Iblīs, as well as the Rāfidāh/Jahmīyyah, the Christians(*Nasārā*), and the Jews and even their Āthîrs.

This is one conclusion either Allāh is just, and either we excuse everyone and refrain from declaring them disbelievers, or we realize that there was no one more merciful than Rasūlullāh, the Sahābah, or the Salaf. And we stop playing the clown without being paid.

Otherwise, we should not apply rulings based on our desires (hawā) or our analogical reasoning (qiyās), or even focus on some Mutashabih passage's of some Scholars.

In the case of major shirk and clear kufr, the only valid excuse is compulsion (ikrāh).

The Mushrikūn will always have doubts. They may even use the hadīth of Dhāt Anwāt or some quotes from later scholars who erred in the matter of individual takfīr, and say, "Look, this is evidence that someone who commits major shirk or clear kufr that can be forgiven, or that their excuse means they are not declared a disbeliever until the evidence is established."

However, just because they misunderstood the transmissions does not mean they are excused.

Imām al-Tabari mentioned that there can be no excuse of ignorance in matters related to Tawhīd. He said:

“As for what it is impermissible to be ignorant of in the religion of Allāh for someone who has reached the level of responsibility due to the existence of clear and sensory evidence, this includes the Tawhīd of Allah(Ulūhiyyāh, Rubūbiyyah/Hakmīyyah and Asma Wa Sifaat), His names, attributes, and His Devine Legislation, Justice etc. This is because those who have reached the threshold of responsibility, in good health and well-being, will not lack clear proofs and reasons that guide them to the oneness of their Lord – praise belongs to Him. And because of this, Allāh, exalted be His mention, has not excused anyone who possesses these qualities for being ignorant of His oneness or His names and attributes. And if anyone dies without knowing this, he is treated like those who stubbornly rejected Him and denied His authority after having known of Him, and they will be punished in the Hereafter.”

Al-Tabṣīr fī Ma‘ālim al-Dīn.

Imām Ibn Abī Zamanīn said:

“There is no excuse for the ignorant (jāhil) to leave off seeking knowledge about the fundamentals of faith (usūl al-Īmān), the religion (dīn), and the laws of the Muslims. Allāh glorified and exalted is He has obligated this by His statement: ‘Ask the people of knowledge if you do not know’ [Al-Nahl: 43].”

Al-Jāmi‘ fī ‘Aqā’id wa Rasā’il Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Athar, Chapter: The Creed of Muhammad ibn Idrīs al-Shafi’i, page 972.

Indeed, the one who uses ignorance as an excuse in Tawhīd does not include Tawhīd in the fundamentals of faith and excuses the faith of the one who lacks Tawhīd. Even the Murjī’āh and the Jahmiyyah (the extreme of them) do not see it as correct to excuse the faith of someone who lacks Tawhīd, because it does not come with knowledge and affirmation (of Islâm). So, who among them is more deserving to be called a Murjī’āh?

Shaykh Huthāyfa al-Hanbâli said:

“To see how filthy the creed of those who excuse the Mushrikūn is, if you compare them with the Jahmīyyah, you will find that even the Jahmīyyah declare the grave worshippers to be disbelievers. The Jahmìyyah say that the action itself is not shirk; rather, committing it indicates disbelief in the heart. Thus, they would declare the grave worshippers and those like them to be disbelievers. Meanwhile, the excusers today entirely refrain from declaring disbelievers and would not even declare the worst of Mushrikūn to be kāfir (whether they are original disbelievers or apostates).”

Imām Abdullah Abū Butāyn al-Najdī, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

“You are responsible for knowing Tawhīd, for which Allāh created the jinn and mankind and sent all the messengers to call to! Also, you are responsible for knowing the opposite of it, which is shirk, which Allāh does not forgive, and there is no excuse for ignorance in this matter, nor is blind following an excuse because it is the foundation of the foundations of the religion!”

Ad-Durâr as-Sanīyyāh, 12/59.

Ibn al-Qayyim, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:

“Islām is Tawhīd and worshipping Allāh alone without associating partners with Him, and faith (Īmān) in Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, and following him and what he brought. So, if a servant does not do this, then he is not a Muslim. And if he is not a stubborn Kāfir, then he is an ignorant disbeliever (jāhil kāfir).”

Tariq al-Hijratayn, page 411 (897 in PDF).

Even Ibn Bāz the Kafīr himself and other scholars have stressed that major kufr is apparent to all Muslims, not just scholars. Thus, the argument that the layman is excused from declaring takfīr on the ṭāghūt because they follow scholars blindly is invalid. Imām Ash-Shawkānī (raḥimahullāh) said in his famous work "ad-Durr an-Nadīd" that a person cannot plead ignorance when the act of kufr or shirk is clear. It is the responsibility of every Muslim, scholar or layman, to disavow ṭāghūt and anyone who sides with it, as this is the foundation of our belief.

Blindly following scholars who defend tyrannical rulers, or ṭawāghīt al-ʿulamāʾh, does not excuse the layman from their obligation to reject and disavow both the ṭāghūt and those scholars who act as their mouthpieces. Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyyāh (raḥimahullāh) made it clear that when kufr is manifest in actions, as is the case with supporting oppressive rulers, the excuse of ignorance or taqlīd does not apply. Those who blindly follow the defenders of ṭāghūt have no excuse for their disobedience to Allāh.

Ibn Bāz the Kafīr also explicitly states in his fatāwā that "there is no excuse for anyone to remain ignorant of such important and clear matters of tawḥīd." This applies equally to the Madkhalī and Surūrī laymen who align themselves with ṭāghūt by excusing their leaders' open acts of kufr. It is upon every Muslim to make tawḥīd a priority in their faith, and alliance with ṭawāghīt even in ignorance is kufr.

7. Showing Hatred Toward the People of Tawḥīd: A Sign of Kufr

In addition to their failure to reject ṭāghūt, the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah exhibit another form of major kufr which aplies to every individual too even the layman: their hatred and enmity towards the people of tawḥīd and the ʿulamāʾ rabānīyyūn (the pious scholars who call to pure tawḥīd and have suffered for it). Their hostility is directed towards those who stood up against ṭawāghīt, those who were imprisoned, tortured, or even martyred for their beliefs. This is a clear sign of hypocrisy and kufr in the heart, and even outward manifest Kufr.

Allāh subḥānahu wa taʿālā says in the Qurʾān, Sūrah al-Mujādilah (58:22):

"You will not find a people who believe in Allāh and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allāh and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred." 

This āyah speaks volumes about the nature of true belief. True believers will never show enmity or hatred toward the people of tawḥīd, regardless of their circumstances. Yet, the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah exhibit nothing but hatred and hostility toward scholars such as:

- Shaykh Walīd as-Sinānī, who spent nearly his entire life imprisoned for standing firm on tawḥīd and rejecting ṭāghūt.

- Shaykh al-Mujāhid Fāris az-Zahrānī, who gave his life in defense of tawḥīd and was executed by the Saudi regime.

- Shaykh Nāṣir al-Fahd, Shaykh ʿAlī al-Khudhayr, and Shaykh Khālid al-Muwallad, who have been unjustly imprisoned frequently tortured spending their life in misery and catastrophe for calling to tawḥīd and opposing the Saudi ṭāghūt.

- Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz at-Tuwaylī and Shaykh Ḥamad al-Humaydī, who faced imprisonment and persecution for their steadfastness on the path of tawḥīd, to the point that Shaykh Hamad al-Humaydi that he had to do Ruqyāh to Shaykh Abdul Aziz for how much they tortured him and did Sîhr to him, Allāhu Akbar.

These scholars, and many others, are despised, mocked, belittled by the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, not because of any personal issues, but because they dared to challenge the ruling ṭāghūt and the ʿulamāʾ as-salāṭīn (the scholars of the palace) who support these regimes, so they even corrupted their Loyalty and Disavowal which is explicitly for Allāh alone and the Muwahidīn.

8. Their Love for Ṭāghūt al-ʿUlamāʾ and Their Hostility Toward the Mujāhidīn

Another glaring example of the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah’s kufr is their love for the ʿulamāʾ who side with ṭāghūt. These so-called scholars, such as Rabīʿ al-Madkhalī(May Allāh's Wrath be upon him and those who are with him) and others, continuously issue fatāwā in defense of tyrannical regimes and attack the mujāhidīn and sincere scholars who oppose them. This is an act of major nifāq (hypocrisy), Kufr as the Prophet ﷺ warned against siding with oppressors or betraying the ummah.

The Prophet ﷺ said: 

"Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or oppressed." The Companions asked, "How do we help him if he is an oppressor?" He replied, "By stopping him from oppression."

(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, 2444)

Yet, the Madākhilah do the opposite: they assist the oppressors in their tyranny and attack those who defend the oppressed. They even make a mockery of the sincere scholars who sacrificed their lives and freedom for the sake of tawḥīd, and these aplies to laymen and educational ones too.

The Prophet ﷺ also warned that "there will come after you leaders who will neither follow my guidance nor my Sunnah. Some of their men will have the hearts of devils in human bodies." (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, 1847). The Madākhilah fit this description, as they defend these leaders and scholars who align with them, despite their open opposition to Islām and tawḥīd.

Narrated Umm Al-Husāyn Al-Ahmasîyyāh: ‘I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) delivering Khutbāh during the farewell Hajj, and he was wearing a Burd which he had wrapped from under his armpit.” She said: “I was look at muscle of his upper arm quivering and I heard him saying: O you people! Have Taqwā of Allāh. If a mutilated Ethiopian slave is put in command over you, then listen to him and obey him, as long as he upholds the Book of Allāh among you.‘”

[Jāmį` at-Tirmîdhī 1706]

It was narrated from Umm Husāyn that she heard the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) say:

“Even if the one appointed over you is a mutilated Ethiopian slave whose nose and ears have been cut off, listen to him and obey, so long as he leads you according to the Book of Allāh.”

[Sunan Ibn Mājâh 2861]

A person that rules according to whims or desires is the very definition of anarchy. Only Allāh’s Will can be the benchmark for what is permitted and what is prohibited in a state. The Prophet Muhammed Alāyhî Salām stated this as a pre-condition of legitimacy.

There is even a hadīth that says there is no obedience to one who disobeys Allāh AzZâwajâl.

It was narrated from ‘Abdullāh bin Mas’ūd that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Among those in charge of you, after I am gone, will be men who extinguish the Sunnāh and follow innovation. They will delay the prayer from its proper time.” I said: “O Messenger of Allāh, if I live to see them, what should I do?” He said: “You ask me, O Ibn ‘Abd, what you should do? There is no obedience to one who disobeys Allāh.”

[Sunan Ibn Mājāh 2865]

In another Hadīth:Jābir bin Abdullāh narrated that RasūlAllāh ﷺ told Kā’b bin Ujrā, “May Allāh protect you from foolish Leaders”. He asked “What are foolish leaders?” He ﷺ said, “Leaders who come after me, they will not lead with my guidance, they will not adopt my Sunnah. Whosoever believes in their lies and helps them in their wrongdoing is not of me, and I am not of him, and he will not come to me at my Cistern (Howdh). Whoever does not believe their lies and does not help them in their wrongdoing, he is of me, and I am of him, and he will come to me at my Cistern (Howdh)”

[Ahmed, Darâmī and Ibn Hibbān]

Muhammad bin Ibrahīm Aal’a-Shaykh (Teacher of Bin Bāz) said:

“So maybe you will ask: What if the one who rules with the laws says, “I believe these Laws are Bātil?” There is no effect! Rather, this is removing the Sharī’āh just like if one said, “I worship these idols and believe that it is Bātil”

Fatāwā' Al-Imām Muhammad bin Ibrāhīm Āl’a-Shāykh, Vol. 6/ 89

Their hatred toward the scholars of tawḥīd the likes of Shaykh Walīd as-Sinānī and Shaykh Fāris az-Zahrānī which they even mock hes death is evidence that they themselves have deviated from tawḥīd, and shown hatred towards it. Allāh warns in the Qurʾān that those who show hatred toward the believers are on a path of disbelief: 

"Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths of the Fire. Never will you find a helper for them." (Surah An-Nisāʾ 4:145)

9. Further evidence of Their Apostasy Through Hatred and Mockery of Scholars that even the layman fall

The Prophet ﷺ said: 

"The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted, he betrays."

(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, 33)

These traits are manifest in the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, who mock and revile the scholars of tawḥīd while defending the ṭawāghīt. Their speeches and public statements are filled with slander against the ʿulamāʾ of tawḥīd, referring to them as "Khawārij" and "rebels", "Kilāb An Nār" while promoting the scholars who support oppressive regimes.

Their mockery and disdain for the scholars of tawḥīd is a clear violation of tawḥīd itself. Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyyāh (raḥimahullāh) said: 

"Whoever mocks or despises a person because of his faith in Allāh or his adherence to tawḥīd has indeed committed an act of disbelief."

One of the clearest signs of deviation in Madākhilah and Surūriyyah ideologies is their open allegiance to the scholars who align themselves with oppressive secular rulers, otherwise known as ‘ulamā as-salāṭīn wal sū (evil scholars of the palace ). These scholars have become notorious for distorting Islāmic teachings in order to justify the actions of the Tāghūt, offering them religious legitimacy, and labeling any opposition as "rebellion" or "extremism."

The Prophet ﷺ warned against such scholars who betray their religion for worldly gain. He said:

"There will come after you leaders who will not follow my guidance and will not follow my Sunnah. There will be among them men who will have the hearts of devils in the bodies of human beings."

This hadīth can be found in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (1847)and speaks directly to the situation we find today. The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah uncritically follow such scholars, and by doing so, they too have become complicit in the betrayal of Islām’s core principles, particularly the rejection of ṭāghūt.

It is clear from the Qurʾān that supporting tyrants or their loyalist scholars is tantamount to aligning with ṭāghūt.

In Surah al-Mā’idah (5:44), Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿālā) says:

"And whoever does not judge by what Allāh has revealed, then it is those who are the disbelievers."

And nobody cares if Rabī' says its Kufr dūnâ Kufr

The ṭāghūt rulers who do not judge by the Sharīʿāh, but instead legislate laws contradictory to Islām, fall under this category. And those scholars who support these rulers, justifying their rule, similarly fall into disbelief. The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah are guilty of following and defending these scholars, thereby falling into the trap of aligning with ṭāghūt.

Shaykh al Islām Ahmad Ibn Taymīyyāh May Allāh Bless hes Beautiful Rûh has said:

Majmū‘ al-Fatāwā (Vol. 23, p. 352) 👇🏾

“The scholars who contradict the fundamentals of the religion or commit Bîd‘âh and kufr those who blindly follow them in their errors and deviance without seeking the truth will be held accountable. Even the layperson cannot be excused for following someone who clearly opposes the core tenets of Islām, especially when the truth is accessible. The Qur’ān and the Sunnah must be the ultimate criterion for judgment, and no scholar should be followed against them.”

Majmū‘ al-Fatāwā (Vol. 20, p. 212) 👇🏾

“Blind following of those who commit acts of shirk or kufr is not an excuse, especially if the person has access to the truth. The one who blindly follows a scholar into misguidance, without verifying their teachings through the lens of the Qur’ān and Sunnah, can fall into Hellfire. Even the common people are required to have a basic understanding of their faith and are responsible for distinguishing between truth and falsehood.”

(Majmū‘ al-Fatāwā Vol. 19, p. 199) 👇🏾

“As for the layman, it is upon him to seek scholars who are grounded in the Sunnah and clear in their understanding of Tawhīd. If they follow a scholar who misguides them—whether knowingly or unknowingly��they will share in the consequences of that misguidance.

There is no excuse in blindly following one who leads away from the straight path.”

- Also he (Râhimāullāh) said "When a scholar leaves what he knows from the Qur'ān and the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace be upon him) and follows the judgment of a leader who contradicts the Qur'ān and the Sunnah, then he is a kāfir murtad (كافر مرتد, apostate disbeliever) who deserves punishment in this world and the Hereafter."

(Majmū‘ al-Fatāwā 35/372)

And i say Wâllāhī my Dear Brothers If Ibn Taymīyyah had been fearful, he would have turned into just another parrot-like muftī (mullā) of his time, who would stand at attention in submission to the authority. Even Ibn Taymīyyāh would have suffered the same fate, and his name would have been forgotten immediately after his death, just like those who simply said 'Āmin' to the rulers, but he got imprisoned until they made him lost hes mind and he didn't abide to the Tāghūt Rulers he said himself if you see me on the side of Tatars even with the Qur'ān on my Head Kill me.

"Some people are already dead above the ground while alive, and some continue to live even after being buried in the ground."

It’s important to emphasize that rejecting ṭāghūt is a foundational requirement of Tawḥīd. Imām Ahmad ibn Ḥanbal (raḥimahullāh) and other scholars of the past were steadfast in resisting rulers who abandoned the Sharī'āh, even at the cost of being imprisoned or tortured. The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, by contrast, betray the legacy of these early scholars by aligning with tyrants and turning their backs on the oppressed.

The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah go beyond mere allegiance to ṭāghūt by openly mocking and displaying hatred toward the sincere scholars of Tawḥīd. They reserve their harshest criticism not for the corrupt rulers, but for the ʿulamāʾ who call for Tawḥīd and reject ṭāghūt. They deride and mock scholars who have been imprisoned or martyred for their firm stance against tyrants, such as:

Shaykh Walīd as-Sinānī (may Allāh free him)

Shaykh Nāṣir al-Fahd (may Allāh free him)

Shaykh ʿAlī al-Khudhayr (may Allāh free him)

Shaykh Khalid al-Muwalad (may Allāh free him)

Shaykh ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz at-Tuwayli (Rahimaullah, martyred)

Shaykh Ḥamad al-Ḥumaydī (Rahimaullah, martyred)

Shaykh Fāris az-Zahrānī (raḥimahullāh, martyred) , May Allah accept the ones who fell. Āmīn

The hatred these factions have for such scholars is a clear violation of walāʾ and barāʾ. It is a core principle of Islām to love those who are upon Tawḥīd and to show enmity to those who align with the enemies of Allāh.

Allāh subḥānahu wa taʿālā says:

"And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin." [Surah al-Aḥzāb (33:58)]

To mock or show hatred towards scholars who have sacrificed their freedom and their lives for the sake of establishing Tawḥīd is nothing short of manifest hypocrisy. The Prophet ﷺ warned about such behavior, saying:

"Indeed, the people will be tested, and then some people will remain who will mock those who strive in the religion until their deaths."

[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī]

The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah fall into this very warning by making jokes about the plight of imprisoned scholars and mocking those who oppose tyrants for their love of Tawḥīd. Such behavior is not only indicative of hypocrisy, but it also shows an inclination towards supporting the enemies of Allāh.

Blind Allegiance to the Ṭāghūt Is Kufr whether ur an ignorant, layman or Taqlidi.

It is important to reiterate that allegiance to ṭāghūt is a form of major kufr. Those who claim that obeying tyrants is a part of Islām are distorting the clear texts of the Qurʾān and Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ emphasized that obedience to rulers is only valid if they adhere to the commands of Allāh and His Messenger. He said:

"There is no obedience in disobedience to Allāh. Obedience is in what is right and just."

—[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim]

By defending ṭāghūt rulers and scholars who support them, the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah are endorsing disobedience to Allāh. In fact, their very actions constitute a violation of the first condition of the Shahādah, which requires rejection of all forms of ṭāghūt.

Allāh subḥānahu wa taʿālā says in Surah al-Baqarah (2:256):

"Whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that never breaks."

This verse clearly emphasizes that rejecting ṭāghūt is a prerequisite for truly believing in Allāh. Anyone who fails to do so whether by supporting ṭāghūt rulers or by following ṭāghūt scholars falls into the category of those who have nullified their Islām.

As for the layman cuz i need to stress this out there is no valid excuse for blindly following these ṭāghūt scholars or aligning with oppressive rulers. Imām Ibn Bāṭṭah (raḥimahullāh), in his work Al-Ibānah, clearly states that ignorance does not excuse a person in matters related to the fundamentals of Tawḥīd and rejecting ṭāghūt. Every Muslim is required to know the basic principles of their religion, and this includes rejecting the worship of ṭāghūt and those who support them.

Imām Ahmad (raḥimahullāh) similarly refuted the idea that blind taqlīd (imitation) could excuse a person in matters of clear kufr. If a person has access to the Qurʾān and Sunnah, there is no justification for remaining ignorant of such basic principles.

In the case of the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, many of their followers claim to be laymen who are simply following the scholars. However, this excuse is invalid because:

Tawḥīd is clear and evident: The primary message of the Qurʾān is Tawḥīd, and rejecting ṭāghūt is part of that. No Muslim can claim ignorance of this fundamental requirement.

  

Access to authentic scholars: The followers of the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah have access to scholars who teach the correct understanding of Tawḥīd and the obligation to reject ṭāghūt, yet they choose to ignore them, and show enmity towards them.

Hatred toward scholars of Tawḥīd: Their open hostility towards the scholars who reject ṭāghūt further invalidates any claim of being "misguided." Mocking and hating scholars who stand for Tawḥīd is a clear indication of deliberate deviation, not innocent ignorance.

Defending Ṭāghūt Is a Clear Nullifier of Islām

In conclusion, the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah fall into major kufr by:

1. Supporting tyrants (ṭāghūt) and scholars who defend them.

2. Mocking and showing enmity towards the scholars of Tawḥīd.

3. Claiming that obedience to tyrants is part of Islām.

4. Failing to reject ṭāghūt, which is a fundamental requirement of Tawḥīd.

[And these nullifiers are only regarding their Tāghūt Rulers and Their Palace Scholars]

Their behavior leaves no room for excuse, even for the laymen who follow these deviant factions. As Muslims, our obligation is to ensure that we hold fast to the correct understanding of Tawḥīd and the rejection of ṭāghūt in all its forms. This is not a matter open to personal interpretation, nor is there any room for excuse when it comes to such clear-cut principles of our dīn. The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah, along with their followers, have not only failed in this obligation, but they have also become active participants in the defense of tyranny and the mockery of those who sacrifice for the cause of Allāh, and no Healthy Muwāhid/Hanīf who names himself Muslim would affirm Islām for them.

The Impact of Aligning with Ṭāghūt and Its Nullification of One’s Islām loud and clearly the followers of these groups need to seriously reflect on the danger of their actions and the implications it has on their standing before Allāh. When they choose to align themselves with ṭāghūt by supporting corrupt rulers and their associated ‘ulamāʾ, they are effectively nullifying their own claim to Tawḥīd.

As the scholars have made clear, belief in Lā ilāha illā Allāh requires more than just verbal affirmation it necessitates the complete rejection of ṭāghūt in all forms.

Imām Ibn Qayyim (raḥimahullāh) eloquently stated:

"Tawḥīd is not simply the verbal declaration of Allāh’s oneness. Rather, it includes turning away from everything that opposes it, including the obedience to those who legislate other than Allāh's laws, even if they claim to be upon Islām."

[Ighāthatu’l-Lahfān]

This is a critical point: anyone who chooses to follow ṭāghūt rulers, support their oppressive systems, or remain loyal to scholars who justify their tyranny, has violated Tawḥīd.

The Prophet ﷺ further warned in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim (50):

"He who dies without rejecting ṭāghūt, he dies upon jāhiliyyah (the ignorance of pre-Islāmic times)."

This hadīth highlights the gravity of aligning with ṭāghūt anyone who does so remains in a state of ignorance, outside the fold of Islām, no matter what their outward actions may indicate.

| The Obligation to Love the People of Tawḥīd |

Additionally, the hatred that the Madākhilah and Surūriyyah harbor toward the scholars of Tawḥīd is not just a personal flaw; it represents a serious violation of walāʾ to the believers. Allāh Tā āla said:

"Indeed, the believers are but brothers, so make peace between your brothers and fear Allāh that you may receive mercy."

[Surah al-Ḥujurāt (49:10)]

Every Muffâsir and Scholar of Tawḥīd explains that walāʾ means showing loyalty and love toward all believers who are sincere in their Tawḥīd and submission to Allāh. Therefore, for these groups to mock, slander, or display enmity towards those who stand firm upon Tawḥīd, like Shaykh Fāris az-Zahrānī, Abdul Aziz, and others who opposed tyrants, is a direct violation of the commands of Allāh.

Moreover, Abū Hurāyrah (raḍiyallāhu 'anhu) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"He who loves for Allāh, hates for Allāh, gives for Allāh, and withholds for Allāh has perfected his faith."

[Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī]

The love of the ʿulamāʾ who strive for Tawḥīd, and the hatred for those who mock or oppose them, is an essential aspect of our faith. Therefore, when Madākhilah and Surūriyyah supporters show enmity toward the imprisoned or martyred scholars who speak the truth, they are showing enmity toward Tawḥīd itself.

Such behavior aligns them with the enemies of Islām, not with the people of faith. This should be a wake-up call for them, as enmity toward the people of Tawḥīd is one of the greatest signs of nifāq (hypocrisy). Allāh warns:

"They are the enemies, so beware of them. May Allāh curse them; how are they deluded away from the truth!"

[Surah al-Munāfiqūn (63:4)]

Their hatred towards the scholars who represent Tawḥīd only deepens their misguidance and deviation from the true path.

Wallāhi There Is No Excuse for Following Ṭāghūt and whoever says otherwise let him come to a sincere Mubāhala from Allāh.

1. There is no excuse for the layman to follow ṭāghūt or blindly accept the rulings of scholars who support tyrants.

  

2. Allegiance to ṭāghūt, whether through active support or passive acceptance, nullifies one’s Islām.

3. Hatred towards the scholars of Tawḥīd is a sign of nifāq and represents a fundamental misalignment with the core principles of Islām.

4. Rejecting ṭāghūt and loving the people of Tawḥīd is not optional but obligatory for every human and jinn to be a Muslim. Failure to do so results in serious theological consequences, including the nullification of one’s Tawḥīd.

| The Great Paradox |

Indeed, the situation you have described exposes a deep contradiction within the thinking of those who claim to excuse these "laymen" for their ignorance, while they simultaneously defend or align themselves with ṭāghūt like Murtād Bīn Shaytān (MBS), Erdogan, Haftar of Libya or other rulers who clearly commit acts of kufr and Shirk. This paradox is one that requires careful reflection, as it showcases a fundamental misunderstanding of Tawḥīd and the concept of ḥākimiyyah (sovereignty belonging to Allāh alone).

Many people claim that these "laymen" are excused for their ignorance or blind following (taqlīd), and im telling you that even the ignorant one who knows their kufr and still doesn't takfir them is a Kāfir Bil Tawhīd especially regarding the rulers they support. They argue that the layman may not fully understand the implications of ṭāghūt or the kufr of supporting those who rule by other than the law of Allāh (Sharī'āh). However, these same individuals will have no problem mocking, cursing, or showing hate towards those who strive to uphold Tawḥīd and implement the principle of "Innal Hukmû Illâ Lillâh" (Verily, the judgement belongs only to Allāh).

This contradiction is telling. If they are truly "laymen" who are ignorant, how do they have the understanding and confidence to curse and mock the Mujāhidīn or the ‘ulamāʾ who uphold the pure Tawḥīd of Allāh? How do they justify their allegiance to ṭāghūt, while showing enmity towards those who call for ḥākimiyyah and rejection of ṭāghūt? Answer yā Abdûllāh.....

Calling Ṭāghūt Rulers "Fāsiq" Muslims or Mubtadi Paradox

  

Even more perplexing is their claim that these ṭāghūt rulers who are not only failing to rule by the law of Allāh but are actively waging war against the believers are still "Muslim," SubhānAllāh to the point that their "Prophet" Rabī al Madkhalī said "I ask my salafi brother to go and fight under the banner of Tawhīd for the Haftar on Libyā" they albeit with the excuse of being fussāq or mubtadiʿ. This claim is astounding given the clear nullifiers of Islām that these rulers commit.

For example lets not go far, Erdogan, who has publicly affirmed his secularism, imprisoned believers for speaking the truth, Abolished Sharī'āhh allowed LGBTQs rights and provides for them, aligned with Israel against the Palestinians like hes brother MBS, and continues to subjugate and oppose any call for Sharī'āh, is somehow considered a "Muslim" by these "laymen." They will go to great lengths to excuse him, calling him a fāsiq Muslim rather than acknowledging the reality that his actions clearly fall under kufr bawāḥ.

The hypocrisy and the Paradox of this becomes even more glaring when you compare it to how they treat those who say "Innal Ḥukmu Illa Lillāh," who call for the establishment of Allāh's sovereignty and rejection of man-made laws. These laymen will mock, curse, and even align with the ṭāghūt against those who uphold the very essence of Tawḥīd. They will raise their voices to condemn the believers who strive for Allāh’s law, while remaining silent or defending the rulers who wage war against them.

One great Historical Example that explains this Paradox in today's time is the example of the Muatazilī Tāghut Caliph Al-Mā'mūn and the Hypocrisy of Today’s Rulers in the time of Imām Ahmad ibn Ḥanbal (raḥimahullāh), the caliph al-Ma'mūn was a clear ṭāghūt who espoused the Mu'tazilī belief that the Qur'ān was created a position that directly opposed the Athârī Islāmic Aqīdāh. He even imprisoned and tortured Imām Ahmad during the miḥnah (inquisition) for refusing to accept this heretical kufrī belief.

Yet, SubhānAllāh al-Mā'mūn, despite his deviance, once waged war against a kingdom simply because they had insulted a Muslim woman and torn off her hijāb. This demonstrates that even a ruler like al-Mā'mūn, who held deviant beliefs, still had a sense of ghīrah (protective jealousy) for the honor of Muslims.

Just Compare this to the rulers of today like Erdogan, MBS and others, who not only remain silent on issues like the genocide of Muslims in Palestine, but also actively collaborate with enemies of Islām. They have done nothing to stand against Isrāīl’s genocide or the oppression of Muslims around the world. In fact, they have imprisoned and silenced those who dare to criticize Israel or even express support for the oppressed Muslims in Palestine.

How can anyone in their right mind still call such a ruler a "fāsiq Muslim," when his inaction and complicity in the oppression of Muslims is clear kufr? How is it that the same people who excuse him hate and curse the scholars and believers who uphold the kalimah of Tawḥīd?

The core of the paradox is that while these laymen may claim ignorance, they seem to have a very calculated allegiance to the ṭāghūt and an irrational hatred for those who uphold the ḥākimiyyah of Allāh. Those who proclaim "Innal Ḥukmu Illa Lillāh" are essentially repeating what Allāh commanded in the Qur'ān:

   "The rule is for none but Allāh."

   [Surah Yusuf (12:40)]

This principle of ḥākimiyyah is one of the core aspects of Tawḥīd, and yet these laymen despite their supposed ignorance will mock and insult the believers who uphold this principle, while defending rulers who have rejected it and replaced it with man-made laws.

This is not a joke neither a minor issue nor a topic that can be dismissed as a matter of difference of opinion. It is clear-cut kufr to support ṭāghūt or to remain silent while the ṭāghūt oppresses and subjugates the believers. The Ulamāʾ have been clear about this, and there is no excuse for laymen or anyone else to claim ignorance in such a crucial matter of faith.

Many Scholars have stated in their works from Ibn Taymīyyāh to Shaykh Al Mujâddid that

"Whoever does not make takfīr on the one who rules by other than what Allāh has revealed, he himself has disbelieved."

There is no gray area here. Whether the layman claims to be ignorant or not, the reality of kufr does not change. Supporting ṭāghūt is a nullifier of Islām, and failing to reject those who have aligned with ṭāghūt is a failure to fulfill the basic requirements of Tawḥīd.

There is no excuse no ignorance no taqlīd for remaining silent or defending those who have violated the core principles of Tawḥīd. And may Allāh guide those who are sincere and protect us from the fitnah of ṭāghūt and their supporters. Āmīn.

The Madākhilah and Surūriyyah have deviated from the path of the Prophets and true scholars by aligning themselves with ṭāghūt rulers and their scholars. Their hatred towards the ‘ulamāʾ of Tawḥīd further compounds their deviation and shows that they have become enemies of the truth.

May Allāh guide us to the true understanding of Tawḥīd, protect us from the fitnah of ṭāghūt, and allow us to be from those who love and support the people of Tawḥīd. Āmīn.

Wa ṣallā Allāhu ʿalā Nabiyyinā Muḥammad wa ʿalā ālihi wa aṣḥābihi ajmaʿīn.

Saudi Arabia is a strategic country, not an anti-terror one. Sorry for poor English but anyone expecting them to take stance against terrorism when they have spread and birthed beliefs Wahhabism/Salafism and commit human rights abuse against minorities, people in Yemen and kill people who fall them out… they don’t care. They will do what best for them only. Hopefully this means they stay ally with Israel but if Hamas suddenly had the power Israel does they would switch in heartbeat

Yes, I'd say most of Israel's allies recognize it not because they are ideological Zionists (they aren't) or even because they DON'T hate Jews (they do) but because they can simply see reality.

A few years ago, people choked on their tongues when Netanyahu gave this crazy speech, like something from Apocalypse or Khan, about how "the weak crumble and disappear from history, but peace is made with the strong." And it turned out that about 10 days earlier, the former Jordanian PM who had signed the treaty with Israel in 1994 gave an interview saying they only signed the treaty because they hadn't been strong enough to destroy Israel, if they'd been strong enough they would have destroyed it, and any Arab state that is strong enough should be expected to do it.

I am very open-eyed about Saudi Arabia. All Israel supporters must be.

Schools of Islam: A Deep Dive into the Branches of Islamic Thought

Islam, as one of the world’s largest religions, encompasses a rich tapestry of beliefs, practices, and interpretations. Over the centuries, various schools of thought have emerged within Islam, each contributing unique perspectives on theology, jurisprudence, and spirituality. Understanding these schools of islam is key to appreciating the diversity and depth of the Islamic tradition.

The Two Major Branches: Sunni and Shia

The primary division within Islam is between Sunni and Shia Muslims, a distinction that originated shortly after the death of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in 632 CE. The division primarily revolves around differing views on leadership and authority within the Muslim community.

1. Sunni Islam

Sunni Muslims make up the majority of the global Muslim population. The Sunni tradition emphasizes the importance of the Prophet’s companions (Sahabah) and adheres to four main schools of jurisprudence (fiqh):

Hanafi: Known for its flexibility and reason-based approach, it is prevalent in South Asia, Turkey, and parts of the Middle East.

Maliki: Focused on the practices of the people of Medina, it is widely followed in North and West Africa.

Shafi'i: Balancing tradition and rationality, this school is dominant in Southeast Asia and parts of East Africa.

Hanbali: Known for its strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith, it is the basis for Islamic law in Saudi Arabia.

2. Shia Islam

Shia Muslims, though fewer in number, hold significant influence in countries like Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. Shia Islam places special emphasis on the leadership of the Prophet’s family, particularly his cousin and son-in-law, Ali ibn Abi Talib. The key branches within Shia Islam include:

Twelvers (Ithna Ashariyyah): The largest Shia group, believing in a line of twelve Imams.

Ismailis: Known for their esoteric interpretations of Islam, they follow the Aga Khan as their leader.

Zaidis: Found mainly in Yemen, they are closer to Sunni practices than other Shia groups.

Other Islamic Traditions

Beyond the Sunni and Shia divide, several other traditions contribute to the diversity of Islamic thought:

1. Sufism (Tasawwuf)

Sufism emphasizes the inward, spiritual dimensions of Islam. Sufis seek a direct, personal experience of God through practices like dhikr (remembrance of God), music, and poetry. Prominent Sufi orders include the Naqshbandi, Qadiri, and Mevlevi.

2. Ibadi Islam

Predominantly found in Oman, the Ibadi tradition predates the Sunni-Shia split and is characterized by its emphasis on justice, equality, and piety.

Modern Movements in Islam

The modern era has witnessed the emergence of reformist and revivalist movements aimed at addressing contemporary challenges. Some of these include:

Salafism: Advocating a return to the practices of the Prophet and his companions, Salafism emphasizes scriptural literalism.

Modernism: Seeking to reconcile Islamic principles with modern values like democracy and science, this movement has roots in the 19th century.

Islamism: Focused on political governance based on Islamic law, Islamism has shaped the political landscape in many Muslim-majority countries.

Unity Amid Diversity

Despite these differences, all Muslims share core beliefs: the oneness of God (Tawhid), the prophethood of Muhammad, the Quran as the final revelation, and the five pillars of Islam. These shared principles serve as a foundation for unity within the diverse global Muslim community.

Conclusion

The schools of Islam reflect the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the religion. They highlight the adaptability of Islamic teachings across cultures and eras while underscoring the universal values of faith, compassion, and justice. By understanding these schools, both Muslims and non-Muslims can gain a deeper appreciation of the richness and complexity of Islam.

anyway, reminder not to follow outrage porn stars. they get that way by posting pure disinformation and misleading bullshit. (Also please note that "Great Book Robbery" "film" is "in association with Al-Jazeera Films," the pet PR project of the Qatari monarchy:

Far from being a champion of free speech, Al Jazeera, a mouthpiece for the Qatari monarchy, is a purveyor of Islamist extremism, jihadism, and Salafism: Among other things, the channel has aired an interview with the leader of Jabahtu Alnusra, an al-Qaeda offshoot. Moreover, at one point, a guest on the popular show The Opposite Direction, a copy of the American Crossfire, has pledged his allegiance to IS leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

Not surprisingly, during the events of the Arab Spring, Al Jazeera did not side with the revolutionaries, but rather with the Islamists.

(Reminder that "Islamist" does not mean "Islamic" or "Muslim." It's the equivalent of the far-right Christian Nationalist movement: fascism cosplaying as religious.)

In 2019, Egypt, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE boycotted Al-Jazeera. It immediately claimed this was an attack on free speech.

Qatar is in the habit of backstabbing fellow Arab countries, supporting insurgent groups attempting to topple their governments, and using petrodollars to meddle in their affairs.

Thus, it is preposterous for Qatar to claim that the boycott amounts to an attack on its sovereignty: While speaking of sovereignty, Qatar funds, arms, promotes and embraces Islamist militias and organizations in Libya, Tunisia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, and most of all in Egypt.

Just a random thought but can you imagine how much information about Palestinians and our history exists in Hebrew sources and we don't have access to that bc the vast majority of us don't speak it, let alone read and write it?

esp because Israel destroyed our archives so there's probably information we don't know that was sealed into those archives and are now gone forever

This ruling provides a religiously endorsed pathway for Muslims worldwide to engage with Bitcoin, a currency traditionally viewed with caution within Islamic jurisdictions due to concerns…

Ra'd: Angel of thunders, a name of angel who drive and regulating the clouds and rains in their task given by God were mentioned in Quran 13:13[154][155] Ibn Taymiyyah in his work, Majmu al-Fatwa al-Kubra, has quoted the Marfu hadith transmitted by Ali ibn abi Thalib, that Ra'd were the name of angel who herded the dark clouds like a shepherd.[154][156] Ali further narrated that thunder (Ra'dan Arabic: رعدان) was the growling voices of Ra'd while herding the clouds, while lightning strikes (Sawa'iq Arabic: صوائق) were a flaming device used by the said angel in gathering and herding the raining clouds.[154] Al-Suyuti narrated from the hadith transmitted from Ibn Abbas about the lightning angel, while giving further commentary that hot light produced by lightning (Barq Arabic: برق) were the emitted light produced from a whip device used by those angels.[154][156] Saudi Grand Mufti Abd al-Aziz Bin Baz also ruled on the sunnah practice of reciting Sura Ar-Ra'd, Ayah 13 Quran 13:13 (Translated by Shakir) whenever a Muslim hears the sound of thunder, as this was practiced according to the hadith tradition narrated by Zubayr ibn al-Awwam.[157] The non-canonical interpretation from Salaf generation scholars regarding the tradition from Ali has described that etymologically ar-Ra'd means a movement of celestial clouds caused by the compression of air inside the cloud. This analogical explanation also defined as the metaphysical movement of the angel who moved clouds, as the basic Islamic tenet agreed that every movements within the universe resulted from the action or interference of the angels. Such example that voice of a person resulted from the movement a lips, tongue, teeth, epiglottis, and throat.[158]

Secara DNA, Wahabi tidak ada kaitannya dengan Firqah Khawarij di masa Salaf. Akan tetapi mereka (Wahabi) mewarisi sifat kaum Khawarij itu sendiri. Yaitu Takfiri dan menganggap semua orang diluar golongannya adalah sesat, dan hanya merekalah yang paling benar. Sama halnya seperti kaum Khawarij, Wahabi pun terpecah belah menjadi kelompok yang kecil-kecil. Di Indonesia terdapat tiga poros utama Wahabi, yaitu Wahabi Murji'ah, Wahabi Khawarij, dan Wahabi Haraki/Politik/Hybrid. Kelompok pertama adalah Wahabi Murji'ah yang terkanal dengan doktrin: TAAT PADA ULIL AMRI. Wahabi Murji'ah ini cenderung apolitis atau mengharamkan pengikutnya untuk berpolitik, melarang mengkritik pemerintah karena dianggap tabu, serta tidak ikut berpartisipasi dalam pemilu karena merupakan produk dari demokrasi yang tidak ada dalil syar'inya, juga dianggap membawa perpecahan umat. Namun meski begitu, beberapa dari ustadz-ustadz Wahabi Murji'ah membolehkan untuk berpartisipasi dalam pemilu. Alasannya untuk mencegah terpilihnya pemimpin yang zolim, maka mereka mengajak jamaahnya untuk tetap nyoblos ke TPS. Pada dasarnya, doktrin "TAAT PADA ULIL AMRI" yang diusung oleh Wahabi Murji'ah di Indonesia adalah doktrin turunan Ulama Wahabi untuk mempertahankan status quo pemerintahan Rezim Saud. Hal ini bertujuan agar tidak ada rakyat Saudi yang mengkritik atau memberontak kepada Raja Saudi, dan stabilitas politik dalam negeri aman. Dalam agenda Wahabisasi di Indonesia, mereka lebih cenderung menggunakan pendekatan soft, yaitu dakwah di mimbar-mimbar Masjid atau media seperti TV, Radio, Internet (Website atau Blog di laman Google) dan Sosial Media (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram), membangun ponpes, sekolah, dan perguruan tinggi, serta pendirian lembaga penerbitan buku yang menerjamahkan buku-buku hasil karya pemikiran Ulama Wahabi. Mereka juga menerjemahkan kitab Ulama-Ulama Ahlussunnah, tapi disesuaikan dengan pemahaman Wahabisme. Dan itu merupakan bentuk kejahatan intelektual karena mendistorsi karya ilmiah orang lain.

Kelompok Wahabi Murji'ah ini pun terpecah belah, saling cela, takfir, dan tahdzir. Diantaranya Halabiyun Rodja, yang tokoh-tokohnya seperti Yazid bin Abdul Qadir Jawas (rekan Alm. Ja'far Umar Thalib saat mengajar di Yayasan Pendidikan milik Al-Irsyad), Abdul Hakim bin Amir Abdat, Firanda Andirja, Khalid Basalamah (yang paling banyak digandrungi anak-anak Hijrah Instant karena Public Speakingnya yang bagus), Syafiq Riza Basalamah, Yahya Badrussalam, dst. Lalu kelompoknya Dzulqarnain M. Sunusi pecahan Halabiyun Rodja, yang oleh Salafi RII dijuluki kelompok MLM (Manhaj Linglung Mubtadi' [Ahlul Bid'ah]. Alasan dari Dzulqarnain M. Sunusi menyempal dari RodjaTV dan mentahdzir Ustadz-Ustadz yang ada di dalamnya, karena Yayasan Cahaya Sunnah yang menaungi pendirian RODJATV didanai oleh Yayasan Ihya at-Turots, sebuah LSM Swasta yang berpusat di Kuwait dan menjadi salah satu pendonor gerakan jihad Al-Qaeda. Ustadz Dzulqarnain tidak setuju akan hal itu karena bertentangan dengan doktrin "TAAT PADA ULIL AMRI" yang dipegang oleh Salafi Halabiyun Rodja, sedangkan Al-Qaeda adalah Salafi kubu Jihadi/Khawarij yang anti pemerintah. Kemudian Salafi RII (Radio Islam Indonesia) atau sering disebut Salafi Luqmaniyun (merujuk tokoh utamanya yaitu Luqman Ba'abduh), kelompok Wahabi Murji'ah ini paling keras sekali mentahdzir kelompok Wahabi lainnya. Orang-orang Salafi Wahabi yang menjadi lawannya menjulukinya dengan sebutan JAHIL (Jaringan Hizby Luqmani) dan Jamaah Ahli Tahdzir. Ciri kelompok Salafi RII dibanding yang lainnya adalah mengharamkan bentuk gambar apapun baik yang berupa sketsa atau video, haram ikut pemilu dan ikut aktivitas politik apapun, dan haram membentuk organisasi/yayaan. Tidak seperti jamaah Halabiyun Rodja yang pengikutnya masih ikut dalam aktivitas politik seperti Tengku Wisnu, atau Ustadz Khalid Basalamah yang ikut pemilu nyoblos di TPS. Juga dalam hal dakwah yang masih membolehkan direkam kamera saat memberi kajian agama. Yang mana itu semua melanggar doktrin "SEMUA BID'AH ADALAH SESAT" yang dipegang secara teguh oleh pendahulu mereka, yaitu Pasukan Ikhwan. Adapun tokoh-tokoh Salafi RII diantaranya Ustadz Luqman Ba'abduh, Muhammad Umar As-Sewed (rekan Alm. Ja'far Umar Thalib saat membentuk Laskar Jihad dalam konflik SARA di Maluku), Helmy Abdul Qodir Bajri, dst. Sama seperti Salafi Halabiyun Rodja, Salafi RII juga memiliki sempalan yang dipimpin oleh Ustadz Askari Al-Bugisi, yang tidak tahan dengan sikap tahdzir yang berlebihan dari Salafi RII terhadap kelompok Wahabi Murji'ah yang lainnya. Selanjutnya ada Salafi Jaringan Dammaj, Yaman lainnya, yang menamakan dirinya Salafi Al-Hujjah atau disebut Salafi Turoby. Tokoh utamanya adalah Abu Turob Saif, murid Syaikh Yahya Al-Hajuri yang mentahdir Luqman Ba'abduh (Salafi RII), Dzulqarnain M. Sunusi, dan kalangan Salafi Wahabi yang mendirikan yayasan untuk dakwa seperti Yayasan Cahaya Sunnah (RodjaTV), karena dianggap bid'ah dan menyelisihi pemahaman Wahabi yang murni. Terakhir adalah Wahabi Murji'ah kubu Alm. Ja'far Umar Thalib mantan Panglima Laskar Jihad di Ambon. Dia menamakan dirinya dan orang-orang yang mengikutinya sebagai Salafi Al-Ghuroba. Karena memisahkan diri dari kelompok Salafi-Salafi yang lain. Ja'far Umar Thalib ini yang terang-terangan mengakui bahwa ajaran Islam yang dipahaminya itu adalah apa yang disebut oleh orang Sunni dan Syiah sebagai ajaran WAHABI dan dia bangga memakai nama Madzhab Wahabi itu.

Kedua adalah Wahabi Khawarij. Kelompok ini muncul diawali dari sejarah penolakan Pasukan Ikhwan terhadap agenda modernisasi semenanjung Arabia oleh Abdul Aziz Al-Saud, pendiri Wangsa Saudi III. Pasukan Ikhwan beralasan bahwa produk IPTEK merupakan Bid'ah Kafir yang menyelishi syariat Islam (Semua Bid'ah Sesat). Akibat penolakan tersebut, akhirnya mereka melakukan pemberontakan terhadap Abdul Aziz Al-Saud yang dibantu Inggris pada tahun 1927-1929 M. Sejak saat itu, siapa saja orang atau kelompok yang mengkritik House of Saud, maka akan mendapat label Khawarij Bughot yang wajib untuk diperangi. Kemudian pasca pemberontakan yang dilakukan Juhayman Al-Otaybi murid Syaikh bin Baz, saat musim haji tahun 1979 M, yang menduduki Masjdil Haram dan menumpahkan darah ratusan jamaah haji. Perjuangan Wahabi Khawarij dilanjutkan oleh Osama bin Laden dan Al-Qaedanya beserta afiliasi, seperti Boko Haram, Al-Shabab, JI, ISI a.ka. ISIS a.k.a. ISIL a.k.a IS, Jabhat Al-Nusra, dst. Kelompok Wahabi Khawarij inilah yang masih Kaffah mewarisi ajaran Jihad Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (Imam Wahabisme) memberantas bid'ah dan syirik. Adapun kelompok Wahabi Khawarij di Indonesia adalah Jamaah Islamiyah (JI) yang tokoh utamanya adalah Abu Bakar Ba'asyir dan Abdullah Sungkar. Kemudian JI membentuk organisasi turunan seperti Majelis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI) yang diwakili oleh Abu Jibril. MMI kemudian pecah dan dibentuk JAT yang dipimpin oleh Sholeh Ibrahim. Lalu ada JAD pecahan dari JAT yang didirikan oleh Aman Abdurahman, yang berbaiat kepada ISIS. Ada juga Mujahidin Indonesia Timur (MIT) jaringan Alm. Santoso yang bergerilya di Poso. Bagi kelompok Wahabi Khawarij, pemerintah Arab Saudi dianggap tidak bermoral, korup, berorientasi ke Barat, dan sudah melenceng jauh dari ajaran Wahabisme. Tak hanya itu, bagi pemerintahan negara muslim mana saja yang menerapkan sistem demokrasi, mereka akan perangi karena dianggap berhukum dengan taghut bukan berhukum dengan hukum Islam. Maka Wahabi Khawarij ini memusuhi kelompok Wahabi Murji'ah yang dianggapnya membiarkan kebatilan dan tidak melawan pemerintah yang berhukum pada taghut. Akan tetapi, Rezim Saud menerapkan politik standar ganda terhadap kelompok Wahabi Khawarij ini. Jika mereka membuat kekacauan di dalam negeri Saudi, maka akan dicap Bughot dan diperangi. Sebaliknya jika Wahabi Khawarij membuat kekacauan di luar Saudi, atau negara yang jadi lawan geopolitik House of Saud. Kelompok Wahabi Khawarij berubah statusnya menjadi "Mujahidin Penegak Syariat Islam", dan didanai penuh oleh pemerintah Saudi.

Yang terkahir adalah Wahabi Haraki/Politik/Hybrid. Kelompok Wahabi Haraki ini seperti bunglon, beraksi dan berganti mode sesuai keadaan. Terkadang mereka condong ke Wahabi Murji'ah, di kondisi lainnya mereka merapat ke Wahabi Khawarij. Akan tetapi secara tindakan dalam mengkritik pemerintah, mereka hanya melakukannya secara verbal melalui orasi di TV atau sosial media seperti YouTube untuk menyampaikan aspirasinya. Tidak seperti kalangan Wahabi Jihadi yang menggunakan jalan kekerasan melalui serangan terorisme untuk melawan pemerintah. Atau siapa saja kelompok yang dianggapnya telah menyimpang dari ajaran agama. Tokoh-tokoh Wahabi Haraki di Indonesia seperti Zaitun Rasmin (Ketua Umum Wahdah Islamiyah), Oemar Mita, Duo Ustadz Hari Kiamat Rahmat Baequni dan Zulkifli Muhammad Ali, Soni Eranata a.k.a Abu Hussein At-Thuwailibi a.k.a. Maaher At-Thuwailibi, dan jaringan Yayasan Al-Sofwa.

Dreams of the Believers -

Laylatul Qadr - The Night of Decree

The Salaf (pious predecessors) saw dreams indicating to them when Laylatul Qadr - the night of Decree, would fall that year, we have that in the ahadīth, and in the Sahīh ones (authentic ahadīth).

So it is possible for the righteous muslim to see a dream that once interpreted gives him an indication of when this most great night will fall, and that's a great gift of Allāh to His slave given the enormous Ajr (reward) that he can reap that night....

However Sheikh Bin Bāz, may Allāh have mercy on him, said, even if the Muslim sees a dream which shows him when the night of decree falls that year, he should make sure he does his best to pray and make duā to Allāh every single night of the last ten in Ramadān.

This year, a Saudi Ustādh, who interprets dreams according to Qur'an and Sunnah said he received dreams that indicate that this year it may well fall on the 23d night (more to come in next posts on these dreams).

Yet as he says himself, these are efforts in interpretation and ijtihād, and one can never be sure and so he should make an effort the last ten nights nevertheless..

Bilād al-Maghrib, Ramadān 1444. Worshippers making their way to the masjid for Tarawīh prayers, ma Sha Allāh, some with the sajjādah (prayer mat) on their shoulders. Beautiful sight Allāhumma Barek.

To those who falsely claim to be the protectors of the Hakîmįyyāh of my Lord and claim to be enemies of the tawāghīt…!!

Know, that by defending the excusers of the mushrîkīn and accusing us of extremism and being khawārîj for making takfīr of them you have stood with the tawāghīt despite your false claims of enmity to them.

Yes, for you have stood with the Ottoman Tawāghīt and their evil priests when they slandered the Imāms of Nâjd and killed them and enslaved their women and children under the pretense of them being Khawārîj for takfīring the mushrîkīn and the one who affirmed Islām for them. You stood in the ranks of the Ottoman tawāghīt when they destroyed the first Saudi state built upon tawhīd and the Sharī’āh.

Know, that you gave a ruling in opposition to the ruling of Allāh like the tawāghīt you claim to hate when you made equal between the one who made barā’āh from the mushrîkīn from the muwāhîdìn and the one who took the mushrîkīn as his brothers from the āthîrįyyāh.

Know, that by defending the Jahmīyyāh and the Ash’ârįyyāh who negated the attributes of my Lord that yet again you have stood with the tawāghīt.

Yes, the Jahmī tawāghīt such as Al-Mā’mūn and Al-Mų'tâsîm when they chained Al-Imām Ahmad and whipped him like an elephant in front of the masses so he would retract from takfīr of them and those who affirmed Islām for them. You stood in their ranks when they called the scholars of Ahlus Sunnāh and tested them and threatened them with jail and torture. You stood in their ranks when they and those who affirmed Islām for them called Al-Imām Ahmad a mujâsssîm who compares Allāh to His creation. You stood in the ranks of those tawāghīt when they killed the Imām Ahmad bin Khûz’āį who rebelled against them and openly takfīred them for negating the attributes of my Lord.

Yes, and you stood in their ranks and opposed the ruling of Allāh which the Imāms of the salaf clarified upon the one who negates the attributes of Allāh or grants Islam to the one who does so.

Know, that by defending those who vote and excusing them with flimsy excuses and excusing those who refrain from takfīr of the tawāghīt of our time that once again you have stood in the ranks of the tawāghīt. You stood in the ranks of Ka’āb bin Al-Ashrâf and Ibn Sâlūl and you defended those who sought judgement from them from the munāfîqīn and affirmed Islām for them instead of our noble Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the blessed revelation granted to him by Allāh.

Yes, you have stood in the same ranks as the Madkhâlìs you claim to hate. For they affirmed Isām for the worshipped taghūt ruler and you affirmed Islām for the worshippers of the tāghūt rulers.

Know, the sword of Umar Ibn Al-Khattaāb would have been unleashed upon you and he would have told you that you are munāfîqìn defending munāfîqīn when you defend those who affirm Islām for the clear enemies of Islām, the tawāghīt of today. The ones who even a child upon tawhīd can recognize their disbelief.

Yes, know by your defense of the aforementioned you have opposed the rule of Allāh. You have violated Allāh’s hākîmįyyāh which you claim to love and defend.

So fear Allāh and check yourselves before you fall into disbelief. And indeed I am to you a sincere advisor.

A brief response to Yasir Qadhi's pathetic and futile tirade against the Scholar and Reviver of the Sunnah, Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhāb (died 1206 AH)

Article: "A brief response to Yasir Qadhi's pathetic and futile tirade against the Scholar and Reviver of the Sunnah, Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhāb (died 1206 AH)." Read and share.

This ignorant, untruthful innovator Yasir Qadhi stated in a video whilst waving his hands as if in the excitement of a new discovery talks of the differences between Ibn Taymiyyah (died 728H) and Ibn Abdul-Wahhāb (died 1206H). He claims, “There are profound differences between the two. Of them, the most important one is Ibn Taymiyyah did not make takfīr of his opponents that did the same things…
