Praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon the noble Prophet Muhammad and his household and Companions all together.

To proceed:

It is very painful and worrisome to any sincere Muslim upon the Sunnah to see any of the laws of Allah being jettisoned or trivialized by any Muslim individual or state. However, when one sees or observes something of such, one tends to appreciate more the ahadith of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wasallam,who has said in an authentic hadith which was reported by Imam Ahmad and others on the authority of Abu Umaamah al-Baahili who said : the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said

“لتُنْقَضَنَّ عُرَى الْإِسْلَامِ عُرْوَةً عُرْوَةً، فَكُلَّمَا انْتَقَضَتْ عُرْوَةٌ تَشَبَّثَ النَّاسُ بِالَّتِي تَلِيهَا، وَأَوَّلُهُنَّ نَقْضًا الْحُكْمُ، وَآخِرُهُنَّ الصَّلَاةُ

Meaning: “The bonds of Islam shall disintegrate one after the other; when a bond disintegrates people hold on to the next one; the first one to disintegrate is alhukm( the ruling/ judging by what Allah has revealed); and the last is As-salat”.

From this hadith one will understand that Islam will not remain the way it was during the time of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, and the rightly guided caliphs; nor will it remain the way it was during the time of the Taabi’un and those that followed them. It has started depreciating since its completion and it will continue like that until the world comes to an end. The Prophet, alayhi as-salaat wassalaam, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah says:

“ بَدَأَ الْإِسْلَامُ غَرِيبًا، وَسَيَعُودُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيبًا، فَطُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ “

Meaning: “Islam began as a strange religion and it shall go back to being strange as it began; so glad tidings to the strangers”

In fact a time will come when all the pillars of Islam will be obliterated except at-Tawheed.

Al-Imam Ibn Majah reported on the authority of Hudhayfah bn Al-Yaman that the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, said:

“ يَدْرُسُ الْإِسْلَامُ كَمَا يَدْرُسُ وَشْيُ الثَّوْبِ، حَتَّى لَا يُدْرَى مَا صِيَامٌ، وَلَا صَلَاةٌ، وَلَا نُسُكٌ، وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ، وَلَيُسْرَى عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ، فَلَا يَبْقَى فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُ آيَةٌ، وَتَبْقَى طَوَائِفُ مِنَ النَّاسِ ؛ الشَّيْخُ الْكَبِيرُ وَالْعَجُوزُ يَقُولُونَ : أَدْرَكْنَا آبَاءَنَا عَلَى هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَةِ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُهَا ". فَقَالَ لَهُ صِلَةُ : مَا تُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَهُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا صَلَاةٌ، وَلَا صِيَامٌ، وَلَا نُسُكٌ، وَلَا صَدَقَةٌ ؟ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ، ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ حُذَيْفَةُ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ، فَقَالَ : يَا صِلَةُ، تُنْجِيهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ. ثَلَاثًا"

Meaning: “Islam shall be obliterated the way the embroidery of a piece of cloth is; people shall not know anything about fasting ,salaat, nor nusuk ( hajj) nor sadaqah.The book of Allah shall be taken away in one night; not a verse of it shall remain. some groups of people will be left, old men and women; they shall say “ We met our parents on the word “ Laa ilaaha illaa Allah “ There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah” ; so we are saying it” Silah said to Hudhayfah the word “ Laa ilaaha illaa Allah “ can not avail them while they know nothing of salaah, siyaam nor nusuk, nor sadaqah ” Hudhayfah turned away from him. And he ( Silah) repeated it to him three times and Hudhayfah was turning away from him; he turned later to him on the third time and retorted three times : “ O Silah ! it shall save them.” Nonetheless, the one who rules by other than the laws of Allah is blameworthy ; and if he legalizes it or rates it as equal to, or above the laws of Allah , he becomes a kaafir.

Hence, the case of not abiding by the laws of Allah in totality is not only applicable to Saudi Arabia or Prince Muhammad; rather it applies to all the Muslim states and countries. In fact Saudi Arabia, however, bad it is now is better off. Despite the fact that the reigns of their predecessors were not free from this either,the scholars such as Muhammad bn Ibrahim, Ibn Baaz, Ibn Uthaimeen and many others did not attack these rulers the way and manner Abu Mazeedah and his cohorts from among the harakis such as the Brotherhood are doing .

The scholars did not embark on such because they were very much aware of the ahadith of the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wasallam, concerning how to relate with the rulers even when they are unjust and ruling by the laws of other than of Allah. Rather they would advice them secretly and tell them the bitter truth as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, has said:

“ "أفضل الجهاد كلمة حق عند سلطان جائر

“The best jihad is to speak the truth before the tyrannical ruler”; this was reported by Ahmad and others. He also said: as reported by Ibn Abi ‘Aasim :

“ من أراد أن ينصح لذي سلطان فلا يبده علانية فليأخذ بيده وليخلُ به فإن قبل منه فذاك وإلا فقد أدى الذي عليه “

“ Whoever wants to advice the one in authority, should not make it publicly; rather he should seclude himself with him and advice him; if he (the ruler) heeds, this is what is desired. However, if the reverse is the case, he has done his own part.”

Al-Bukhari reported from Waail who said :

قِيلَ لِأُسَامَةَ : لَوْ أَتَيْتَ فُلَانًا فَكَلَّمْتَهُ. قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُرَوْنَ أَنِّي لَا أُكَلِّمُهُ إِلَّا أُسْمِعُكُمْ، إِنِّي أُكَلِّمُهُ فِي السِّرِّ دُونَ أَنْ أَفْتَحَ بَابًا لَا أَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ فَتَحَهُ، وَلَا أَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ أَنْ كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَمِيرًا : إِنَّهُ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ، بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالُوا : وَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ يَقُولُ ؟ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : " يُجَاءُ بِالرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، فَيُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ، فَتَنْدَلِقُ أَقْتَابُهُ فِي النَّارِ، فَيَدُورُ كَمَا يَدُورُ الْحِمَارُ بِرَحَاهُ، فَيَجْتَمِعُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ عَلَيْهِ، فَيَقُولُونَ : أَيْ فُلَانُ، مَا شَأْنُكَ ؟ أَلَيْسَ كُنْتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَتَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ ؟ قَالَ : كُنْتُ آمُرُكُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَا آتِيهِ، وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَآتِيهِ "

“Somebody said to Usama ( bn Zaid) “ Will you go to so-and so ( i.e Uthman) and talk to him (regarding ruling the country)? He said, “ You see that I don’t talk to him. Really I talk to him secretly without opening the a gate of( affliction ), for neither do I want to be the first to open it(i.e rebellion), nor will I say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of the people after I have heard something from the Messenger of Allah” . They said:” What have you heard him say”? He said “ I have heard him saying “ A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the Hell, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around as a donkey goes around a millstone.The people of Fire will gather around him and say “ O so-and so ! what is wrong with you? Did n’t you use to order us to do good deeds? He will respond: “Yes, I used to order you to do good deeds, but I did not do them myself, and I used to forbid you to do bad deeds, yet I used to do them myself.”

Hence, your manners of attacking this ruler is a kind of inciting the citizens and masses against their ruler; and this is nothing other than the of the khawarij qa’diyyah (those who do [not] carry weapons but incite those who will later take to weapons).

More so, you have been unfair in your attacks on Muhammad bn Salman starting from the fabricated holiday of Maolid which if confirmed, is not different from what other Muslim countries have been celebrating ; and which is not worse than the bid’ah of Khalq al-Quran introduced by khaleefah Ma'mun and which he and the rulers who came after him forced on people and persecuted a lot of scholars for not accepting it. Yet the scholars did not incite the people against them; the same maolid was celebrated by your esteemed Hasan al-Banna on many occasions; likewise your beloved Qardawi sanctioned its celebration. Why do you spare other countries? Was Mawlid celebrated in those countries during the time of Companions? More so why do [you] spare the misleading scholars, al-Banna and al-Qardawi and others from same attack; a glaring double standard!!

Do you know that your hero, Qardawi defended the Shi’a for decades until he was disappointed? It was even rumored that his son Abdurrahman became a Shia member as a result of this evil position of his. Do you know that al-Qardawi gave fatwa for a girl in Europe to take off her hijab and join her classmates in swimming publicly so as not to fail in her PE subject? Do you that al-Qardawi gave fatwa that an American Muslim soldier can participate in the war against a Muslim county? Do you know that Qardawi allows music and dancing? Do you know that Qardawi does not see anything wrong with a lady who embraces Islam to remain under her kaafir husband?

Despite all these evil positions and many others, Qardawi remains your favorite scholar and hero. What a contradiction!!! I swear by Allah you are a confused fellow and a confusing character.
