Ali then said:
"And now we have what I hope in Allah will bring an end for once and all to these teachings Ibn Baz's praise of Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq's book as-Sirat and his recommendation that the book is worthy of being published and distributed."
[To which Abu Khadijah says]
"My Response: The this reference if anything is for this particular book - this does not now mean that Abdur-Rahmaan Abdul-Khaaliq is the Imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah rather he is a hizbee."
Again, notice his deviation and slander. Why not accept the truth Abu Khadeejah? This does not mean that Sh. Abdur-Rahman is infallible but the fact is the book which he wrote entitled "as-Sirat Usul Manhaj Ahl as-Sunna wa l-Jama'a fi l-Itiqad wal-Amal" (The Path: The Fundamentals of Ahl as-Sunna wa l-Jama'a in Belief and Action) and to which he wrote in the introduction, "The aim and goal by Allah's permission that this treatise will be a program for study by the students of knowledge throughout the whole Islamic world." (p. 5) Ibn Baz then says print and distribute it! What a humiliation for your astray group.
Abu Khadeejah then goes on to vilify the Shaykh and says:
"And the proof of his hizbiyyah and hatred for the correct manhaj"
Open your eyes Ya Aba Khadeejah! Ibn Baz has praised his book on manhaj and you say Sh. Abdur-Rahman has "hatred for the correct manhaj."
He then continues
"is that he is continually being told by the major scholars to correct his manhaj - For example Al-Albaanee calling him a hizbee/ikhwaanee, Ibn Baaz ordering him to repent for his vicious attacks upon the Imaams of the Sunnah, Shaykh Saaleh Fawzaan asking him to correct his manhaj and Shaykh Rabee ibn Haadee refting him in two volumes for which Shaykh Saalih Fawzaan, Al-Albaanee, Muqbil praised him for, Shaykh Muqbil al-Waadiee ordeing him to stop corrupting the manhaj and the sunnah and to leave the methods of hizbiyyah and the ikhwaanees."
Again, this is a twisting of the truth. Where did Ibn Baz ask him to repent from what you characterize as "his vicious attacks upon the imaams of the Sunnah"? Will you not stop lying? Ibn Baz found seven minor passages which he corrected. Yet Ibn Baz still praises Sh. Abdurrahman. Yes, al-Albani criticized Sh. Abdur-Rahman and Sh. Abdur-Rahman responded in an open hiwar in the Kuwaiti "Furqan" magazine where he exposed those around al-Albani like Muhammad Shaqra and their ideas. On the other hand, Rabi and Muqbil are well known for their extremist statements. Ibn Jibreen took issue with Rabi's statements regarding both Sayyid Qutb and Abdur-Rahman Abdul-Khaliq. And Muqbil has left no one under the sun which he has not critcized not even Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymin, let alone those less than them in rank like Sh. Abdur-Rahman. Also if you look at Muqbil's statements regarding Sh. Abdur-Rahman then all began with Sh. Abdur-Rahman criticizing Juhayman and his followers calling them Khawarij and not Salafis and telling people in an article in al-Watan newspaper in almost twenty years ago that the Imams of the Salafis where Ibn Baz and Ibn Humaid. So where do you stand with Juhayman? Indeed many of the main ideologues of this group where with one non-Salafi group or another. Rabi was an Ikhwani for more than ten years. And Falah al-Harbi and Muqbil were with Juhayman and sympathetic to his cause. They then went from one extreme to another. |
