In Mubaarak Olayemi's latest diatribe officially shared by their Hizb's 'press secretary', Sofiyyullah Is'haq (one Aboo Wiqooyah had first shared it in a night, deleted it before it officially came via 'the press secretary' the following morning. That Aboo Wiqooyah never shared it afterwards, that speaks volumes of hizbi hierarchical order going on between them), in a reaction to some happenings in the sideline of Daar Naim's Conference where the organizers of that conference used to project an ikhwaani like of Da'wah of 'let-us-do-it-together-irrespective-of-our-differences', which was widely condemned by all the reasonable followers of the Sunnah, and the incident of hugging between Dr Faadil Nurudeen and the chief organiser of the conference in a meeting between doctors who graduated from the Saudi Arabian universities where some representatives of the Saudi Religious Ministry had come to meet them. That hugging elicited some reactions from the people of Sunnah which made Dr Faadil to come out to make some clarifications the following day. He said he mistakenly ran into those people's midst and that the hugging was a mere coincidence. He said nevertheless he didn't specifically see the chief organizer of the program a person of bid'ah but someone upon serious errors in manhaj that should be corrected in the meantime. He then went on reiterating on the errors the chief organizer has been committing in terms of trying to mix the Da'wah of Sunnah with Da'wah of bid'ah.
The majority followers of Sunnah in South West Nigeria accepted the clarification from Dr Faadil though they believed it would have been better if that act of hugging never happened.
However, as expected, the cult-like 'Pristine' Methodology guys in Ilorin rejected the clarifications from Dr Faadil, they seized the opportunity, as expressed by their head, Mubaarak Olayemi, to pelt Dr Faadil with abuses and maintain his deviant status with them.
There is also one Abu Haneefah Tanimola, belonging to the main bloc opposed to the 'Pristine' Methodology (which the latter would call 'Musa'afiqah'), who in his characteristic and egocentric self, hastily, came out to say the action of hugging by Dr Faadil is just an action of one person of bid'ah hugging another person of bid'ah. A subtle labelling that Dr Faadil is a mubtadi to him.
While many of the comrades of that Abu Haneefah Tanimola were silent on the issue of the huggin, they were also silent on the release by Abu Haneefah Tanimola.
Mubaarak Olayemi however picked from what Abu Haneefah Tanimola said to attack the rest of his silent comrades in the 'Musa'afiqah', as they call them, accusing them of insincerity saying they were only condemning Dr Faadil because he once spoke against them. Mubaarak maintained that there was no sin Dr Faadil was guilty of which Dr Sharaf and Shaykh Qamarudeen Yunus were not guilty of.
To Mubaarak Olayemi and his goons, boys and girls of post-teenage years, there is no single upright scholar of the Sunnah in the whole of Nigeria, Yorùbáland in particular. A judgement he and his cult-like members of 'Pristine' Methodology have been parroting for about three years now when they adopted the dangerous methodology. Yes, all their this nonsense started during the covid-19 era when they became idle and started learning via the Internet from where they picked up SPBUS manhaj of no-upright-scholars-in-the-muslim-world-except-some-few-in-madeenah.
If you ask Mubaarak Olayemi and his cult that who among the Senior Scholars preceded them in saying that there are no upright scholars of Sunnah in Nigeria, you will see them blabbing.
Let us leave that for now.
Meanwhile there is a young brother whom Mubaarak would say is from the 'Musa'afiqah' (I don't like using this term neither 'Sa'afiqah' or 'Hajaawirah' etc) Ahmad Al-Otuwiyy, popularly called Abu Dharr, who out of his personal conviction, felt the way the mutual wranglings between the generality of people of Sunnah were going was affecting his wellbeing as a follower of the Sunnah, he declared that he would henceforth not get himself involved in the fitnah. A good stand, no doubt. May Allaah bless and protect the brother.
While some of Otuwiyy's friends welcomed the development, some of them decried him and criticized him for the new stand. That is however understandable from that side.
However, Mubaarak Olayemi, in the said release berated Al-Otuwiyy and said he had abandoned the manhaj salaf!
That is what caught my attention, and which has made me made all this long talk which I never planned.
Why on earth will Mubaarak Olayemi say Ahmad Al-Otuwiyy had abandoned the Manhaj Salaf? Ahmad Al-Otuwiyy that you had all your recent past been referred to as 'Abu Sharr' - the father of evil, so when had he been on your self-designed manhaj salaf, M-U-B-A-A-R-A-K!?
The pain in Mubaarak Olayemi is that when someone says he is no more engaging in the fitnah of wanton tabdee in any form, he and his people see such a person as leaving the 'manhaj salaf'. To them, you are not a Salafi if you have not said such-and-such has derailed, such-and-such has deviated.
You hardly see them pray for people's guidance. You don't see them show mercy on their opposers. To them, Salafiyyah is all about condemnation and finding faults in the upright Muslims (the actual people of bid'ah are out of their radar) especially the scholars of Sunnah. You hardly hear them give excuses for scholars' gaffes (but they want people to give excuses for their own errors). They will always say Shaykh Rabee - hafidhahullaah - whom they hide behind to wreak havoc among the Muslims, and who Inshaa Allaah is free from their antics, will be patient with the mukhaalif for ten years advising him before coming out against him, yet three years now they have thrown every caller to Sunnah in Nigeria under the bus. To them, bid'ah is everywhere in Nigeria except in their small circle.
So we wonder now, how Al-Otuwiyy whom you have all your recent years of 'manhaj saaffin' called an evil person has now left the manhaj Salaf.
So Mubaarak warned the remaining boys that they either joined them in their 'Sa'afiqah' as he called his group himself (indeed he in particular is a sa'fooq - a fool) where they believe there are no scholars in Nigeria (He still foolishly said it), or they would 'abandon' Manhaj Salaf like Otuwiyy.
The question to Mubaarak Olayemi is if those people do not join you and they don't join Otuwiyy what are they?
You are just playing on your cult intelligence, I really pity them.
