I advise the scholars and all those who are involved in calling to ALLAH to take advantage of this opportunity and exert all their efforts in calling to ALLAH and teaching the people the reason for their creation; which is worshipping Allah, obeying Him, reading His Book and so on. I advise them to engage in everything they possibly can, including delivering the jumu’ah khutbah along with other sermons during suitable occasions, authoring books and involving themselves with the different types of media outlets such as the radio, television and newspapers.
This book is for open-minded people who see beyond media propaganda and wish to acquire an accurate understanding of Islām and its position on extremism and terrorism.
Loyalty towards the disbelievers is of two categories: The first category: The loyalty towards the disbeliever that removes the person from the fold of Islam. Thus, he becomes a disbeliever after having been a Muslim. And this is allegiance.
In this time of political turmoil and social upheavals, many sects claim to follow the way of the Salaf, yet their actions and what they call to are contrary to what the Salaf were upon. They entice the people with rhetoric, calling them to misguidance, leading them to the Hellfire. Thus it is imperative that the Muslim arms himself with knowledge, knowledge of what Salafiyyah is and the ability to recognise who the true Salafees really are.
The Messenger of Allaah, may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, further explains that over time differing and controversy will occur between the Muslims. He mentions to them the cure to this differing and separation, that is: Stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs after me. He continued: Hold on to that with your molar teeth. The Messenger, may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, warned the Muslims from innovating in matters of worship in this hadeeth: Be warned of the newly invented matters for verily every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance , and to obey the Muslim rulers: I advise you with the fear of Allaah and to hear and obey (your leaders) even if an Abyssinian slave were to rule over you. The hadeeth is beautifully explained by the Scholar and former teacher at the Islamic University of Madinah, Shaikh Ubayd Al-Jaabiree and it has compiled and presented to you in this book.
The Status of the companions of Muhammad (Peace be upon him) verily they have, by Allah, a status and a great position with Allah the Blessed and Exalted, and with His Messenger (Peace be upon him) and with the true believers.
In this book the erudite scholar and doctor, Shaikh Sālih bin Fawzān al-Fawzān brings the story behind the life of one of the most notable scholars of the 18th century, Shaikh ul-Islām Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb, may Allāh shower His Mercy upon him. Prophetic narrations state that in every era Allāh has placed scholars who remain firm upon calling to the Book of Allāh and upon enlightening the people in spite of the efforts of their opponents to dissuade or harm them.
Shaikh al-Fawzān states: “Each time there appears a caller to the
truth, a caller from falsehood stands in opposition to him.” From these callers to the truth is the Imām and reviver of the religion, Shaikh Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhāb.
