May Allaah save the youths from the evil ways of the new hizbees of Ilorin.
It is getting clearer everyday that the 'Pristine' boys are vicious partisans whose manhaj is dangerous for the Muslims youths.
Let me make it clear from the outset that we love all the scholars of Sunnah as demanded by the Two Wahy, we always respect them and never wish evil for them. We will therefore not raise them above their ranks or follow them in their errors.
However we will never allow the evil machinations of those trying to use them to cause chaos in the Muslim community.
Ash-Shaykh Abdullah bn AbduRraheem Al-Bukhari - hafidhahullaah - is one of the mashaayikh of this Ummah, walhamdulillah. We will continue to benefit from him as we do from others.
Placing him over scholars who are older and more knowledgeable than him in seeing to the affairs of the Muslims is a dangerous trend and an act of attributing leadership to who is not worth it.
Saying - always - that As-Shaykh Al-Bukhari - hafidhahullaah - belongs to the Kibaar and excluding his mates or seniors is a devilish act of partisanship.
Ash-Shaykh Dr Abdullaah b. Abdurraheem Al-Bukhari became a Dr in the year 2004 according to what he wrote about himself on his website. Or what Gregorian Calendar is equal to 1426?
That 2004 was the same year Dr Sharaf Gbadebo - hafidhahullaah - also became a Dr.
So face-flat, if Dr Abdullaah Al-Bukhari belongs to the Kibaar - jadalan - Dr Sharaf also fits in.
And in fact, Ash-Shaykh Professor Abdulmajeed Alaro - hafidhahullaah - who had become a Dr since 2004 is more Kibaar, in this context.
Brothers, Dr Abdullaah Al-Bukhari would have undergone some tutorials under Professor Alaro if what used to obtain in our local universitiea obtains in Mamlakah too.
Even dear aalim, Ash-Shaykh Muhammad b. Haadee al-Madkhalee - hafidhahullaah - had his PhD in 2005.
(It shouid be noted that Shaykh Muhammad Haadee got his Master's Degree in 1993 while Shaykh Al-Bukhari got his in 1998, may Allaah protect both of them on goodness).
(I have also been corrected that Ash-Shaykh Muhammad b. Haadee al-Madkhalee - hafidhahullaah - was indeed in a position of teacher to Dr Abdullaah Al-Bukhari and our own Dr Sharaf and Prof Alaro, that he only did his PhD very late. May Allaah pardon me for the earlier error).
Respect our home scholars too, we have always told you. Yes they could have fallen into one errors at some points in life, other abroad scholars are not free from that too. Or do you want us to bring what Shaykh Al-Bukhari did to Shaykh Al-Fawzaan here?
These boys would underrate the likes of Shaykh Wasiyyullah Abbaas, Mufti of Makkah - hafidhahullaah, who had his PhD in 1979. Or Shaykh Saalih al-Suhaymee, Mufti of Madeenah, who had his PhD in 1981. Or Shaykh Sulayman ar-Ruhaylee - hafidhahullaah - who had his PhD in 1993.
These boys should fear Allaah and the Last Day.
This their hizbiyyah is becoming more daring, repugnant and obnoxious.
May Allaah rectify them and us.
