An Advice on Keeping Company with the People of Hizbiyyah and Waging War Against the Salafis - Our brother, Abul-Hasan, has prepared a brief advice to those who keep company with the Hizbees, whilst using the excuse that they are doing this in order to advise these people.  At the same time, these individuals do not keep company with the Salafis.  Rather, in many cases they accuse the Salafis of harshness and extremism!  The aforementioned advise contains the verdicts of Shaykhs: Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa an-Najmee and Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee - may Allaah preserve him.

 

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee on Madeenah(dot)Com - Our elder brother, Abul-Hasan Maalik Ibn Aadam, recently asked the noble Scholar about an American caller who was involved in the efforts of Madeenah(dot)Com to counter the da'wah of the brothers at Salafi Publications in Birmingham, UK.  He also asks about the validity of the position that some of the noble callers in the US took towards those involved with Madeenah(dot)Com to not co-operate with them in da'wah and to not lecture alongside them in the lessons and yearly conferences until those involved in Madeenah(dot)Com recanted and repented from their campaign to wrongfully ascribe extremism and excessiveness to Salafi Publications.

 

Anwar al-Awlaki's Fictitious Attachment to Salafism - This is a reply to the comments of Jarrett Brachman, author of Global Jihadism: Theory and Practice and former director of research at West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center.  Whilst being interviewed on National Public Radio's All Things Considered, he claimed that Anwar al-Awlaki "the hard line understanding of Islam known as Salafism."  Though he affirmed al-Awlaki's Jihadist leanings, he erred and mentioned Salafiyyah in the same breath as al-Awlaki's devious ideology.  So it was imperative to make plain the vast difference between Salafiyyah and Anwar al-Awlaki's extremist views.  Indeed, Salafiyyah is in a valley and al-Awlaki is in another valley!

 Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee Defends the Islaamic University of al-Madeenah - The Shaykh defends the Islaamic University of al-Madeenatun-Nabawiyyah against those who accuse it of being a Hizbee University.  The Shaykh takes the moderate and reasonable path when he clarifies that he does not speak like the extremists who say that there is no hizbee found therein, but that any hizbee who may be there is unable to speak out in the presence of Ahlus-Sunnah who yield influence there.  And he declares that the one who declares it a Hizbee University has openly proclaimed his own ignorance.
