Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Translation: Is'haaq b Abdurraheem
السؤال:
أتباع المبتدع.. هل يلØقون به ÙÙŠ الهجر؟
The questioner asked: Should we treat the followers of a particular deviant with boycott as we do of their head?
الجواب:
" المخدوع منهم ÙŠÙعلم يا إخوة ØŒ لا تستعجلوا ØŒ علموهم وبينوا لهم ØŒ Ùإن كثيراً منهم يريد الخير،
Answer: Those who are deceived among them should (rather) be enlightened, O brothers. Don't be hasty, teach them, explain matters to them. Indeed many of them (the followers) desire good.
Øتى الصوÙية والله لو هناك نشاط سلÙÙ‰ لرأيتهم يدخلون ÙÙ‰ السلÙية زراÙات ووØداناً.
Even the Sufis, by Allaah, if there is a (purposeful and effective) Salafee effort (towards them) you will see them adopt Salafiyyah in groups and units.
Ùلا يكن القاعدة عندكم بس هجر .. هجر .. هجر .. هجر .. الأساس الهجر ØŸ!!
Do not make it the only principle with you, 'hajr, hajr, hajr, hajr.' Is hajr (boycott) the first thing?
الأساس هداية الناس ØŒ إدخال الناس ÙÙ‰ الخير ØŒ قضية الهجر قد تÙهم غلطاً ØŒ إذا هجرت الناس كلهم من يدخلون ÙÙ‰ السنة؟!
The first thing is striving to guide the people, bringing people to goodness. (You see) this issue of hajr is often misapplied. (Let me ask you) when you boycott all the people who will enter the Sunnah?
الهجر هذا يا أخوتاه ØŒ كان ÙÙŠ أيام الإمام Ø£Øمد ØŒ الدنيا مليئة بالسلÙية ØŒ وإذا قال الإمام Ø£Øمد: Ùلان مبتدع ØŒ سقط ØŒ أما الآن عندك السلÙية كالشعرة البيضاء ÙÙ‰ الثور الأسود!
O dear brothers, hajr in the time of Al-Imaam Ahmad was in vogue because this world then was filled Salafiyyah. So if Al-Imaam Ahmad said a person was a mubtadi, the person would be regarded as gone. But today the Salafiyyah we have is like a strand of white hair on a huge black ox.
الأساس عندكم هداية الناس ØŒ وإنقاذهم من الباطل ØŒ تلطÙوا الناس وادعوهم وقربوهم يكثر - إن شاء الله - سواد السلÙيين وتكسبوا كثيراً من الناس ..
Let the first thing from you be how to make the people be guided, and how to remove them from falsehood. Be gentle with the people. Invite them, bring them closer, Inshaa Allaah, with that the ranks of the Salafees will increase, you will be able to gather a lot of people (on the correct creed and understanding).
أما أنت " منتÙØ® " وهكذا ØŒ وكل الناس ضالون ØŒ ولا ØªÙ†ØµØ ÙˆÙ„Ø§ شىء ØŒ ولابيان ØŒ غلط..!!
As for you that always fumes (at the people), that always says all the people are lost while you don't counsel the people or do anything, you don't explain matters (to the people). This is an error (from you)!
هذا معناه سد أبواب الخير ÙÙŠ وجوه الناس ..!!
The implication of this is that you have blocked all the paths to good from the people.
Ùلا تكن عندكم بس زجر .. زجر ..!!
The only thing you know is zajr (warning), zajr (warning)!
الهجر إذا قال اهجروا ØŒ ممكن واØد مبتدع يرجع ØŒ يضطر يرجع ØŒ يشو٠الدنيا كلها قدامه سلÙيين Ùيضطر للرجوع ..
When they (the scholars) say 'hajr' they say it perhaps the deviant will turn back (from his deviation) when he feels uncomfortable, like when he sees all the world under his feet filled with Salafees, that will force him to retract.
اما الآن يلتÙت كذا ما يرى سلÙيين ØŒ Ø±Ø§Ø Ù…Ø¹ الناس .. Ùتنبهوا لهذه الأشياء !!
But today, the deviant looks left and right and he doesn't see the Salafees, so he moves on with the people. So pay attention to these things (O Salafee).
تكون القاعدة عندكم الأساس هى هداية الناس ØŒ وإدخالهم ÙÙ‰ السنة ØŒ وإنقاذهم من الضلال.
(Once again) let your watchword be how to guide the people, how to bring them to Sunnah, how to remove them from misguidance.
هذه هى القاعدة عندكم، واصبروا واØملوا وكذا وكذا..
بعدين آخر الدواء الكى ..
This is what is supposed to be the principle with you. So be patient (with the people), bear their harm (towards you) and so on. The end will be well.
أما تكون من أول مرة ! هذا غلط بارك الله Ùيكم !!
But that you make hajr your first point-of-call, this is a grave error. Baarakallahu feekum.
Ùليكن القاعدة عندكم هو انتشال الناس .
Let the principle be how you will guide the people.
والله كثير من الناس Ùيهم الخير ØŒ يريدون الخير ØŒ يروØون للمساجد ايش يبغون ØŸ!
By Allaah, there are a lot of people with goodness in them, they desire it, you will see them throng the masaajid (for salawat) so for what reason will you see them as enemies?
يريدون الجنة يا إخوة ، يريدون الخير ..
Those people desire the Jannah, O brothers. They desire good.
لكن الأساليب ..!!
Watch your styles (and attitudes of calling the people).
خلوا أساليبكم Øكيمة ØŒ والله الأساليب الØكيمة الرØيمة الذى يشعر أنك ما أنت متعال عليه ..ØŒ
You have estranged styles of wisdom from (your Da'wah). By Allaah, wise and merciful styles of calling others will always present you as a humble person (before those you are calling).
إذا شعر إنك متعال عليه ما يدخل معك ØŒ ما يريد منك الØÙ‚ ØŒ لكن تواضع له ØŒ ألن جانبك ØŒ ترÙÙ‚ به ادعوه بالØكمة ØŒ وإن شاء الله كثير من الناس يدخلون .
When someone sees a sign of haughtiness in you he will not follow you. What he wants from you is the truth. So be humble to him, clip your wings, have mercy towards him, invite him with wisdom. Inshaa Allaah many people will join you.(upon the Sunnah).
كانت الهند كلها خراÙيين قبوريين، وجاء أهل الØديث بالعلم والØكمة، كسبوا الملايين بØكمتهم وعلمهم،
(As an example), the whole of India was filled with people of superstitions, veneraters of the graves, then came the people of hadeeth with knowledge and wisdom, and they could capture millions (of the people) with their wisdom and knowledge.
ثلاثة.. أربعة.. من كبار تلاميذ الشيخ : نذير Øسن ØŒ قلبوا الهند رأساً على عقب ØŒ بØكمتهم وعلمهم.
From three, then four....From the top students of a Shaykh was Nadheer Hasan. They overturned the whole of India (to goodness) with their wisdom and knowledge.
واØد منهم ابتلاه الله.
جاء مبتدع وضربه بالمÙعْوَل، Øتى خلص مات ÙÙ‰ نظره، وجاءوا وأخذوا هذا المجرم وأودعوه السجن، أول ما Ùاق هذا الرجل من غشيته ØŒ قال: هذا الذى ضربنى .. Ùين راØØŸ
قالوا : أودعوه ÙÙ‰ السجن.
قال : أبداً ما ÙŠÙسجن ØŒ خلص أنا عÙيت عنه !!!
قالوا : خلص سجنوه .. أبوا ÙŠÙكوه ...
One of them was even tested by Allaah, it happened that a deviant harmed him with a weapon until he was believed to be dead. That criminal was arrested and put in jail. The first thing the Muslim said when he rose from his coma was: 'The person that hurt me...where did he go?' People told him he had been put in jail. He said they should free him from prison that he had forgiven him. People told him no way he must serve his jail term.
كان ينÙÙ‚ على أولاد المجرم ..!!
لما خرج من السجن دخل ÙÙ‰ السلÙية ØŒ من كبار المجرمين.
What did he do? He began to take care of the family of the criminal. Therefore when he came out of the jail, he joined Salafiyyah. A top criminal!
كان واØد اسمه (أبو المØجوب) ÙÙ‰ السودان، أول من نشر السلÙية ÙÙ‰ السودان ØŒ كان يظل يضربونه ØŒ ويسØبونه برجله ØŒ ويرموه خارج المسجد ØŒ أول ما ÙŠÙيق يضØÙƒ ØŒ لا ÙŠØقد على Ø£Øد ØŒ ولا ينتقم ØŒ ولا شىء ØŒ يضØÙƒ ويبتسم ØŒ ودخل ناس كثير من مشائخه ÙÙ‰ الدعوة السلÙية.
There was a person in Sudan by kunya, Abu Mahjoob. When he first started Salafiyyah in Sudan, the people would beat him, drag him outside the masjid by his legs. Anytime he regained his consciousness, he would laugh and would not take offence with anybody. He would not seek revenge, nothing. He would rather laugh and smile. Later many of his teachers entered into Salafiyyah.
الشاهد أنا ما أبغي توصلون إلى هذا المستوى، لكن أبغي عندكم شىء يا إخوة من :
الØكمة
والØلم
والصبر
والقصد_الطيب،
وأن القصد هداية الناس بارك الله Ùيكم،
I am not saying you should go to the extent (of the above) but I want you to do something (close), O brothers:
Wisdom
Perseverance
Patience
Good Intention
That your desire be that people be guided. Baarakallahu feekum.
والله بالأخلاق الØكيمة ØŒ والØلم يقبلون الناس على دعوتكم ..
By Allaah, with good character and perseverance, the people will accept your Da'wah.
وإذا كان ما عندكم إلا الجÙاء والشدة .
But if all what you know and do is weirdness and harshness.
" ولو كنت Ùظاً غليظ القلب لانÙضوا من Øولك " .
(Allaah told His Messenger - sallallahu alayhi wa sallam):
ÙَبÙمَا رَØۡمَةࣲ مّÙÙ†ÙŽ ٱللَّه٠لÙنتَ Ù„ÙŽÙ‡ÙÙ…Û¡Û– ÙˆÙŽÙ„ÙŽÙˆÛ¡ ÙƒÙنتَ Ùَظًّا غَلÙیظَ ٱلۡقَلۡب٠لَٱنÙَضّÙوا۟ Ù…ÙÙ†Û¡ ØÙŽÙˆÛ¡Ù„ÙÙƒÙŽÛ–...
'And had you been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from about you...: (Aal Imraan 159)
هذا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال له الله هكذا .
That was the Messenger of Allaah - sallallahu alayhi wa sallam - being addressed by Allaah this way.
يا إخوة بارك الله Ùيكم ØŒ بعض إخواننا عندهم هذه الشدة الزائدة ØŒ التى تخرج من السلÙية ما تدخل ØŒ تخرج تطارد من السلÙية ما تدخل Ø£Øد .
Brothers, baarakallahu feekum. Some of our brothers are exceedingly harsh, harshness that takes away people from Salafiyyah not the other way round. It does not bring anyone into Salafiyyah it rather drives them away.
هذا موجود الآن ..
Ùهؤلاء المطاردين ..
عليهم أن يتوبوا لله عز وجل ØŒ وأن ÙŠØسنوا أخلاقهم ØŒ وأن يكونوا هداةً إلى الله عز وجل ..
This happens these days. So those with tendencies of driving people away should fear Allaah the Mightest and Sublimest. They should correct their character. Let them be means of guidance to the people.
بارك الله Ùيكم عليكم بهذه الأساليب ØŒ لا تكن القاعدة عندكم هجر ... هجر ... هجر ... هجر وبس..!!
Baarakallahu feekum. So upon you are these styles. Don't make it the principle with you that you are for hajr, hajr, hajr (all the time).
الهجر مشروع لكن إذا Ù†Ùع ..
أنت ÙÙŠ عهد Ø£Øمد Ø£Ùهجر ØŒ لكن ÙÙŠ عهد من أنت.
Yes hajr is in the Shariah but that is when it brings benefits. If you are in the era of (Al-Imaam) Ahmad, do hajr, but whose era are you now?
بارك الله Ùيكم ØŒ Ùلابد من الØلم والصبر .. بارك الله Ùيكم ØŒ وتقريب الناس إلى الخير Ùˆ إدخالهم Ùيه.
Baarakallahu feekum. Upon you is perseverance and patience. Baarakallahu feekum. Bring people closer to what is good and let them join it.
