This is written in the context of problems the People of Sunnah are facing from some youths engrossed in the Fitnah of careless Tabdee and Tajreeh in South West Nigeria and Ilorin.
Everytime the people of indiscriminate tabdee - whether the junior or senior boys - come up with their Fitnah in our land Allaah quenches it.
The junior boys are those who call themselves the 'Pristine' Methodology which there have been elaborate writeups about them in the recent time. You can click here for a plethora of corrections and advice written about them.
The 'senior boys' many of whom used to be mentors to the 'junior boys' before the latter rejected and started castigating them for not being forceful enough are still intentionally spared of an expose because perhaps with time they would come to reason.
So the emotional blackmail of 'Indallaahi Tajtamiul Khusoomu' from the 'senior boys' has failed. It has been shown that what they have on their necks of tarnishing other people's image is even more than we have thought.
Abu Summaayyah, Murtala Wale Gbadamosi, penned some points of reminder for the 'senior boys' in his piece here. He reminded them of some of the havoc they have caused to some people's image.
The 'senior boys' ran out of points. They lost woefully at debates. They abandoned sittings on Ibraaz. They could not contest the examples brought from annals of Islam...then they tearfully resorted to 'wa indallahi tajtamiul khusoomu'.
May Allaah reward everyone who has been instrumental in quenching their Fitnah.
It has not been easy, it has taken much of our useful time but Inshaa Allaah it is worth it. We hope Allaah will reward everyone for it.
The Fitnah started post Shaykh Aliyy Hasan al-Halabi's death.
They say 'whoever does not agree that he was a mubtadi, treat him like him.' So they began to ask around, 'do you believe he is a mubtadi?' of you said, no, they will try and 'educate' you but if you rather educate them, they will say you are a person of desire and you become a mubtadi.
An example of a very careless misapplication of one of the principles of how to deal with people of bid'ah.
To them, any person of Sunnah, who is known to be strong in Sunnah, who has been upon the Sunnah all his life, will lose that Sunnah the moment he falls into a shub'hah of bid'ah which he thinks it is sunnah.
If you know the evil Allaah has used you to prevent from befalling the majority silent Muslims that would have come through them you will do more of standing up to them next time.
Imagine if they had got a free reign of 'this scholar is mubtadi', 'that scholar is munharif' how things would have been among the innocent teeming Muslim populace.
Mind you, it is far from finish, they will still come up with more antics. Inshaa Allaah, as they come up with their evils Allaah will suffice the believers.
Ø¥Ùنَّا ÙƒÙŽÙَیۡنَـٰكَ ٱلۡمÙسۡتَهۡزÙØ¡Ùینَ
'Truly! We will suffice you against the scoffers.'
[Surah Al-Hijr: 95]
Their case is like the Jews (we are not saying they are kuffar though:
ÙƒÙلَّمَاۤ أَوۡقَدÙوا۟ نَارࣰا لّÙÙ„Û¡Øَرۡب٠أَطۡÙَأَهَا ٱللَّهÙÛš وَیَسۡعَوۡنَ ÙÙÛŒ ٱلۡأَرۡض٠Ùَسَادࣰاۚ وَٱللَّه٠لَا ÛŒÙØÙبّ٠ٱلۡمÙÙۡسÙدÙینَ
'... every time they kindled the fire of war, Allah extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on earth. And Allah does not like the Mufsidun (mischief-makers).'
[Surah Al-Mâ'idah: 64]
Their wish is to make us remain quiet as they cause Fitnah on land,
They will say we are fujoor at khusoomah, we don't understand the manhaj properly, we don't...we don't.
But let's tell them, we will never remain quiet about you until you stop your Fitnah and face real learning.
Never, Inshaa Allaah.
ÙˆÙŽØ¥ÙÙ†Û¡ عÙدتّÙÙ…Û¡ عÙدۡنَاۚ
'...but if you return (to your evil), we shall return (to acting against you'. (Israa: 8)
ÙˆÙŽØ¥ÙÙ† جَنَØÙوا۟ Ù„Ùلسَّلۡم٠ÙَٱجۡنَØÛ¡ لَهَا وَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهÙÛš Ø¥ÙنَّهÙÛ¥ Ù‡ÙÙˆÙŽ ٱلسَّمÙیع٠ٱلۡعَلÙیمÙ
But if they incline to peace, you also incline to it, and (put your) trust in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower.
[Al-Anfâl: 61]
