bin Salloum Al-Faradi. The two are prominent opponents to the new mission. And Ibn Jarjis in particular exchanged letter with Najd scholars about the mission. Ibn Bassam said in his biography.      

This man is not stable in his faith, sometimes you see him following the pious predecessors and other time he did otherwise. He supported Daud bin Jarjis in his ideas of intercession and other aspects which are against montheism when he arrived in Najd; he praised him in poetic form.

"Muhammad bin Abdullaah bin Humaid who was borne in Unaizah in the year 1232 AH. was Mufti in the Holy Mosque of Makkah following the Hanbali school of religious thought. He died in Taif 1295 AH. Ibn Bassam, in the biography of this man said: " Due to his position in the  Uthman state which fought against the Salafi creed and because of his learning outside Najd with scholars devoted themselves to fight against the salafi  mission, he was influenced by these factors which made of him a foe to this mission and an ally to its enemies.

Mirbad bin Ahmad Al-Tamimi opposed this mission then traveled to Yemen in the year 1170 AH. He stayed there for about 10 months spreading rumours to the detriment of this mission. Then he left with pilgrims for Hijjaz. He is a staunch opponent of this mission as he fabricated lies and...

falsehood against him which influenced many people. Also he joined lands with the 'Uthman government against which new mission; it was only Imam Turki bin Abdullaah who resisted the Ottoman army and defeated them in totality and then peace and stability reign to the extent of implementing the shari'a. Ibn Bassam at the end of his biography stated that his hometown Huraimala then he ran away when he arrived Ragbah, Ali Al-Juraisi, the Emir of Ragbah arrestes hm and killed him int year 1171 AH.

There are scholars who did not confront the mission but they are co-operating with its opponents i.e Muhammad bin ALi bin Sallum Al-Farady who immigrated from Sudair  to Al-Zubayr in Iraq. Sympathizing with his master Muhammad bin Feruz. He died in Iraq , likewise his two Children Abdur-Razaq and abdil Lateef , who became famous scholar in Souq Al-Shioukh and Al-Basra.

Ibrahim bin Yusuf who studied in Damascus and held literary meeting in the Ummayd mosque was killed mysteriously in the year 1187 AH.

Rashid bin khunayn immigrated from kharj to Ahsa and died there without begetting any child. and many others who were mentioned in the letter of Sheikh  i.e. Ibn Isma'il, bin Rabi'ah, bin Mutlaq, bin Abdul Lateef, SAlih bin Abdullaah and others.

The Collections of the letters of Sheikh Muhammad which he compiled explaining about his mission, refuting falsehood and rumours against his person and the mission are about 51 published in one volume of 323 pages. It is a very useful volume for anyone who wants an insight into the man and his mission. Many opponents have declared their support after realizing their folly.

Ito ang Buwan bago sumapit ang Ramadhan

Sha'ban, Buwan bago sumapit ang Ramadhan, ito ay ikawalong buwan sa kalendaro ng Hijri. Sa buwang ito maari nating sanayin ang ating sarili sa pag aayuno. Ito ay kabilang sa gawain ng Propeta Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم   ang  madalas mag-ayuno sa buwan ng Sha’ban. 

Sinabi ni Aa’sha:

 "Ang Sugo ng  Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم ay madalas  mag-ayuno hanggang sa ang akala namin ay hindi na siya kakain, at siya ay kumakain hanggang sa ang akala namin ay hindi na siya mag-aayuno. Hindi ko nakitang nag-ayuno ang propeta صلى الله عليه وسلم ng buong buwan maliban sa buwan ng Ramadhan lamang, at hindi ko siya صلى الله عليه وسلم nakitang nag-ayuno ng higit na marami kaysa sa buwan ng Sha’ban"

 [Bukhari]

Sinabi ni Ibn Rajab: 

"Ang pag-aayuno sa buwan ng Sha’ban ay mas mainam kaysa sa pag-aayuno sa mga banal na buwan (tulad ng: Dhul-Qadah, Dhu-Hijjah, Muharram at Rajab- Surah Tawbah (9):36), at ang pinakamainam na boluntaryong pag-aayuno ay ang pag-aayunong malapit sa buwan ng Ramadhan, bago ito o pagkatapos nito. Ang estado ng mga pag-aayunong ito ay tulad ng Sunar Rawatib, na siyang ginagawa bago o pagkatapos ng mga obligadong salah"

Minsan ay may nagtanong sa Propeta صلى الله عليه وسلم tungkol sa madalas niyang pag-aayuno sa buwan ng Sha’ban. Kanyang صلى الله عليه وسلم sinabi:

 "Ang Sha’ban ay palagiang hindi pinapansin dahil sa ito ay nasa pagitan ng Rajab at Ramadhan, subalit ito ang buwan na kung kailan ang mga mabuting gawain ay iniaangat sa Panginoon ng Lahat ng mga Nilikha. Gusto kong ang mga mabubuti kong gawain ay iniaangat habang ako ay nag-aayuno."

[An-Nisa'i]

Sa pamamagitan nito at iba pang mga ahaadith ng Propeta صلى الله عليه وسلم, hinihimok ang pag-gawa ng kabutihan sa mga panahong ang mga tao ay nagiging pabaya sa pag-aalala at pagsamba sa Allaah. Sinabi ni Propeta Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم:

 "Ang sumamba sa mga panahon ng sakuna at kaguluhan ay katulad ng Hijrah (paglilipat ng bayan) para sa akin."

 [Sahi Muslim, 2984]

Ang pag-aayuno sa buwan ng Sha’ban ay nagsisilbing pagsasanay para sa pag-aayuno sa buwan ng Ramadhan. Subalit ang pag-aayuno ng buong buwan ng Sha’ban ay Makrooh (hindi kalugod-lugod) at hindi naaayon sa Sunnah ng Propeta ni Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. Sinabi ni Ibn Abbas: 

"Ang Sugo ni Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم ay hindi nag-aayuno ng buong buwan maliban sa buwan ng Ramadhan."

[Sahih Bukhari]

Ang Pag aayuno sa mga nalalabing araw ng buwan ng Sha'ban ay Hindi pinahihintulutan kung ang kanyang layunin ay upang hindi nya makaligtaan ang unang araw ng Ramadhan. 

Subalit! kung nagkataon ang pag aayunong ito sa huling mga araw ng buwan ng Sha'ban ay  dahil sa nakasanayan na nyang gawin o kaya siya'y namanata bilang kabayaran sa mga obligadong pag-aayuno na hindi nya nagawa ito ay ipinahihintulutan. 

Sinabi ni Abu-Hurairah na sinabi ng Propeta صلى الله عليه وسلم:

"Huwag pangunahan ang Ramadhan ng isa o dalawang araw, maliban na lamang sa mga taong palaging nag-aayuno, sa ganitong pagkakataon sila ay maaring mag-ayuno"

[Sahih Bukhari, 1983]

Maibukod ang obligadong pag-aayuno sa hindi obligado ang isa sa mga dahilan kung bakit ipinagbabawal ang pag aayuno sa mga huling araw ng buwan ng sha'ban.

Islam parang Pag-ibig

Ang Islam ay parang pag-ibig, na kapag pumasok sa puso ninuman. Susuwayin ang lahat na pinaniniwalaan at naka gisnan. matanggap at yayakapin ito lamang.

The mission of Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab was first confronted from within. Right from the area in which the mission sprung up. Those who went against the mission are the so-called scholars with the selfish interest and they are bound to lose as soon as the masses are acquainted with teachings of the mission that is based on Qur'an and the Ahadith. As personal desire is blind, jealousy played a big role in the opponents' confrontation against the mission as said by an Arabian poet:-

They Envied him because they could not be like him 

The people became his enemies and opponents against him.

These opponents raised up to the extent of attacking the mission with all means at their disposal. They started dispatching letters from left to right that are aimed at causing people to shun away from his person and the mission, as was the patience of Ibn Suhaym, bin Muwais and other people whose names will follow:

Sheikh Muhammad replied to such letters and refuted their contents in his writhing.

These opponents and their mode  of oppositions based on their whims and caprices are outside of this work.

page-123-

For now, let us expose their evil machination as stated in the Qur'an.

 فأما الزبد فيذهب جفاء وأما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث في الأرض 

 فأما الزبد فيذهب جفاء وأما ما ينفع الناس فيمكث في الأرض

As for the foam, it vanishes, [being] cast off; but as for that which benefits the people, it remains on the earth.

Both the two parties. Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab and his staunch opponents have departed this world. But, over a period of time, the sincerity and honesty of Sheikh Abdul-Wahhab came to lime light; as his mission continue to gain momentum in every part of the world. And a number of his opponents are now back to their senses having observed the truth, their mind is enlightened. while other opponents died, their works of opposition s against him has since vanished. This is indeed, the penalty in this world. For Allaah is aware of all secrets and that which the breast concealed.

Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Abdullaah bin Baz has categorized the opponents of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab into three groups.

page-124-

First Group:

Consisted of the characterless scholars who saw the truth as falsehood and the falsehood ax tge truth. They believed in building domes and mosques over the graves anc invoking those in the graves for help and the like were right pertaining to islam. They also thought that whoever was against such things hated the righteius and the saint and that Jihad against him was compulsory.

Second group:

Was associated with the knowledge; bug they were ignorant of the reality if the sheikh Mission. They knew nothing about the truth ti which he was calling the people; they simply followed others anc believed whatever was said by the characterless, superstitious scholars. Consequently, they even believed that he had hated the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wassalaam) and saint and denied their miracles. Therefore, they condemned him and kept aloof from him.

The third group:

Feared the removal of their positions and ranks. They showed him hostility so that the supporters of the Islamic mission might not reach them and remove their positions and take over their lands.

The most prominent opponents of this missions from within who dispatch letters to fifferent parts of the world, fabricated

Falsehood and rumours against Shaikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab as the truth is on his side, they left some other placrs to continue spreading rumours, in which a numbet of Muslim and some scholars were convicted Below is the list of their names.

Suleiman bin Muhammad bin Suhaym whose name usually appears in the letters of Sheikh Muhammad bin Badul-Wahhab as the truth is on his side, they left some other places to continue spreading rumours , in which a number of Muslim and some scholars were convinced. Below is the list of their names.

Suleiman bin Muhammad bin Suhaym whose name usually appears in the letters of Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab, having written to a number of cities condemning the Sheikh and hi mission. He described many things, which did not happen at all. He was one of the scholars of Riyadh fell into the hands of the Saudi government, he migrated to Ahsa, and later to Al-Zubair in Iraq; he died living behind his children in the year 1181 AH.

Really, Suleiman and his children  belong to the family of learning, all of whom are against this mission. May be the secret behind this is jealousy of the scholars. Because Satan is desirous to break the ties of relationship even among the scholars.

Muhammad bin Abdullaah bin Fayrouz oroginated from Najd snd was born in Ahsa, he is considered as a great scholar. The Ottoman Governor of Basra, Abdullaah Agha developed an interest in him when he emigrated to Basra and stayed there till he died in the year 1216 H he left Al-Ahsa when the Saudi army were about to capture Al-Ahsa. He colllaborated with the Ottoman Governor in order to under root the mission of..

Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab. He was supported by most of his disciples wit he exception of Muhammad bin Rashid Al-Faliqi who emigrated to Medina and was appointed judge by Imam Saud bin Abdul Aziz, later he turned to be a propagator of this mission according ti the pious predecessors. He died in Cairo in 1257 AH, hence, many Egyptian s accepted this mission of Salafia from him.

Muhammad bin Abdur-Rehman bin Afaliq, was one of the eminent scholars of Ahsa, 1163 AH. He witnessed the beginning of the new mission; and he totally developed hatred toward it. Thus, he wrote a letter to Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab challenging him and asking him the content of Surah Ad-Diyat (the Coursers)

He told him all the similitude, metaphor, allusions and rhetoric aspect found in the chapter. But, understanding the jinx of rhetoric and other figures of speech as Sheikh Abdullaah bin Bassam stated in his biography.

Abdullaah bin Issa Al-Muwaisi the judge of Hurma. He was repeatedly mentioned in the letters of Sheikh Muhammad and Sheikh Muhammad warned people against him by expounding  his activities to the people. The took place before its spread in Saudi Arabia.

Mischievous ideologies of communism, Masonism, existentialism, secularism, atheism and others, have confronted the world in general and the Muslims in particular. It is only Islam with purity of its creed that will enable the Muslims and arm them  with weapons to confront these mischievous ideologies. Allaah endowed the Muslims with peculiar characteristics of Obedience, love respect and brotherhood lead them to sacrifice their lives in totality for the sake of their religion.

But however. some opponents take advantage of the ignorants from among the Muslims to mislead them; since, it is very difficult for one to uncover their hidden motives. This can be traced to the books that are freely distributed in Europe and Africa that refer back to the distorted facts about the suspicion against many of their teachings and mission. As it is already known Christianity and Judaism have started declining not only in the Muslim countries but even in the West. This can be attributed to the rebellion against them in Europe. These two religions by the time they discovered that Muslims have started going back to the original sources of their religion in faith, worship and their day to day life, used another trick in order to divert their attention from the actual teachings of Islam. Many books against Islamic movement

page-119-

and some outstanding reformers were published and distributed free of charge.

One of the Islamic callers in Africa told me that a scholar from among their people was trapped by such books to the extent that he went about condemning Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and his mission; thereby, depicting him with various defamatory  images as fabricated in those books written against his person and his mission. The Islamic caller asked the scholar "Have you ever read any book written by Sheikh Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab?. He replied: "No, but, what was said about him is enough". This caller was clever enough as he handed him a copy of 'Kitab Al-Tauhid" written by Sheikh Al-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab after removing the book cover " I would like you to read this book and pass your comment on it." He asked him. When the appointed time was due the scholar met the Islamic caller praising the book and its author, because the book contains the actual teachings of the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet and it is well arranged that every Muslim will

appreciate it and adopts it in effecting corrections on beliefs. The caller once again, handed another copy of the book written by Sheikh Ul-islam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab the founder of the recent  Islamic revivalism and reformation in accordance with the practice of the pious predecessors. And assured him that the test rest of the books written by Shiek..

Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab adopt a similar method. The scholar said Allaah alone is the most excellent in whom we trust. Formerly I was accusing the Sheikh with things that were unjustly attributed to him. What we read about him is different from what is written in his books. This is a pure teaching of monotheism as brought by the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) Muhammad  bin Abdullaah which he invited us to follow strictly.

Many decades ago, a similar instance took place in India when a debate was held between one named Al-Bakri and one eminent scholar of India in which at the end the scholar accepted the truth.

This is just a general view which every Muslim ought to pray his attention to. For no Muslim should allow anybody to brainwash his mind on things to do with faith and religion; be should try to delve into research so as to avoid some lapses in his religion. Since, failure to do this, will pave way for disunity among the Muslims; the beneficiaries of which are the non-Muslims and its arch-enemy. already they invested their wealth of experience-monetarily, materially and intentionally, so as to reap all benefits to detriment of Muslims.

We therefore pray to Allaah the almighty to unite the hearts of Muslims till the last hour as He united their hearts in the first instance as He revealed to Prophet Muhammad (salallaahu alaihi wassalaam)..

وَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ ۚ لَوْ أَنفَقْتَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعًا مَّا أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَلَٰكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise. 

[Quran Surah Al Anfal : 63] 

Certainly, the Jews and the Christians will never be pleased with Muslims until they spoil their religion by causing them to disunite among them as stated by Allaah the almighty in the Noble Qur'an:

وَلَن تَرْضَىٰ عَنكَ الْيَهُودُ وَلَا النَّصَارَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمْ ۗ قُلْ إِنَّ هُدَى اللَّهِ هُوَ الْهُدَىٰ ۗ وَلَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْوَاءَهُم بَعْدَ الَّذِي جَاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ۙ مَا لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِن وَلِيٍّ وَلَا نَصِيرٍ

And never will the Jews or the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allah is the [only] guidance." If you were to follow their desires after what has come to you of knowledge, you would have against Allah no protector or helper.

[Quran 2:120]

The last  generation of the Muslims can only be guided with things that guided the first Muslim generation/ The first generation as remarked by Imam Malik. The first Muslim generation was only guided by the pure Islamic creed, free from all Innovation and superstitious and our last generation must follow the same path for their guidance.

researchers who came from the west and other orientalists i.e free people, Italians, Germany, they wrote many things about Islam and Muslims in North Africa in particular and everywhere in the world in general.

This mission gained many supporters, especially in North Africa, as mentioned earlier on in many instances, people who showed their hostility towards this mission then did it out of personal interest. Therefore they use anything possible to see that the Islamic mission is hindered from going anywhere but it was too late.

The founder of this mission Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab followed the steps of those revivalists and scholars expound in the Islamic History i.e Ibn Taymiyyah Ahmed Ibn Abdul Haleem who died in the year 728 AH, and Ibn Qayyum Al Jauziyya in Damascus who died in the year 751 AH, Ash Shatibi of Granada in Andalus who died in the year 790 AH and Al-Izz Bin Abdus-Salam who died in the 660 AH, in Egypt.

Islamic history witnessed a number of scholar, at any period when the Ummah deviate from the real teachings of Islam, a reformer or revivalist will rise from among them to put them straight; by ensuring that the real teachings of Islam as taught by the pious predecessors is in practice. Many knowledgeable scholars and thinkers, from Arab Muslims and others have stated this fact. Professor Abdullaah Bin...

Sa'ad Bin Ruwaishid in his book titled " Imam Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab in History", said: About school of thought certified the role played by the mission every where in the Muslim world.

Page 112-116 (Correction of the Historical Errors About AL-WAHHABIYYAH)

Some people from the tribe of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab went against his mission. This is owing to the fact that their worldly needs are poles apart with his mission. They distorted all his Good acts to the extent of defaming his person and the mission. However, he attempted to refuse all these allegations against him and the mission. Thus, he struggled to point out to the people that all his belief and actions are in accordance with the teachings of the Noble Qur'an and the Prophetic guidance.

Now we should briefly have a look at his opponents and their mode of opposition. So that the seeker of truth will find it easy to ascertain the truth.

Whosoever dwelt on the writings his opponents will reason with the fact that they are all baseless. As all their expositions never dwelt on the writings of his opponents will reason with the fact that they are all baseless. As all their expositions never coincide with the true teachings of his mission; neither that of his disciples, nor of his children and grandchildren. All their misconceived utterances about his preaching should always fall within the following categories.

Some of the misconceived terms in his preaching are unjustly attributed to his person and the mission. After all their origin would have justifiably traced down from the ancient generation, that lived in the antiquities of time. But,..

page-112-

his stand remain firm as it conforms with the teachings of Ahlus-Sunnah-Wal-Jama'a scholars i.e. the likes of Shaikul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in Syria, Imam Ash-Shatibi, Al-Izz Bin Abdus-Salam in Egypt (660 AH).

Others fabricated things that are never found in his books, neither that of his disciples or that of his children. Those who lied against his person and the mission are numerous, camouflaging from one form to another. But, inspite of their disguise the learned Sheikh refuted all their arguments in a number if his treatise. For example, he said in one of his letters to the people of Al-Qaseem in which he stated:

"You are really aware that I know that the letter of Suleiman Bin Sohaim reached you and some knowledgeable people among you agreed with its content. You all know that what this man said against me is mere falsehood and fabricated lies, which I have no idea whatsoever about.

He further stated in that letter that I do not agree with the books in the four schools of law of Islamic Jurisprudence. He asserted that is my saying that all people that lived six hundred years back were not on anything rather on ignorance. He claimed that I am a Mujtahid and knowledgeable person who can deduct a law from the original source. Hence, I do not follow any school of law; and I considered the differences in opinion of the scholars as nothing but a disaster, and hinder anybody to invoke or...

implore for help from God though the Pious people, as it is nothing but an act of unbelievers. He reasserted that Al-Busiri to me is not a Muslim, because of his saying:

"O! The holder of the creatures I dont have anybody to take refuge in him except You"

He claimed that "I said, If I have the power to destroy the dome of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalaam) I will destroy it. If I have the power on Ka'bah I will take its gutter and reconstruct it into a modern one. He also stated that I prohibited visiting the graveyard of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalam) and I stopped the visitation of the grave of the parents and others. ANybody who take oath in anything but Allaah is a Kafir. And to me even Al-Faridh and Ibn Arabi are not Muslims, I also set " Dala ilu Khairati" on fire and book titled "Raudu Rayahiin" i.e "The Oasis of the basils" (is nothing but Oasis) of shaitan.

However, my answer to all these slanders against me on the said issues, is to say: Glory be to my Lord. This is a mere slander and defamation of image. Because, we are aware that before this man other people raised false accusation against the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalam). They claimed that the Prophet  (salallaahu alaihi wasalam), was abusing Jesus son of Mary and other pious people. Those people who raised this blasphemy against the prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalam) and this man share a common heart in telling lies and fabrication of evils against others.

These two examples shown above, include the failure of those opponents who confronted the followers of Sheikh..

Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab were defeated and after that they started accusing Sheikh Muhammad and his mission in order to create confusion and cause chaos among the people. This is because they could not say exactly what happened when the discussion was in session. They know that people will blame them. Thus, they resorted to telling lies against Shaikh Muhammad and his mission.

Some accusations were directed at him in the form of half statement of Sheikh Muhammad, or a saying which can take different meanings, they attributed such incomplete sentences to Sheikh Muhammad, just like somebody reading the first part of the verse from the Qur'an:

"Ah  woe unto worshippers." And keep quiet without reading the next verse. This kind of accusation can also include their saying that the followers of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab are not invoking prayers to the prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasalam) and they do not believe in his message; no sensible person can agree With it. It is not far from the truth that all people who wrote against Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab and his mission didnt read any of his books, be it in belief, jurisprudence, Islamic legal system, Tafsir (exegies) and Prophetic biography and he didn't have any discussion on any idea of the saying of Sheikh Muhammad. The people making such accusations were only.moved by their ulterior motives. Therefore, conveyed all defects and accusations passed against the ancient Wahhabiyya originated by Abdul...

Wahhab Bin Abdur Rehman Al Rustum the kharijite which was condemned by the knowledgeable scholars of his time, in maghrib and andalus attributed such false accusations to the real teachings of Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab who based his mission on the Noble Quran and Sunnah.

The two names are Abdul Wahhab Bin Abdur Rehman and Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab share something in common that is "Abdul-Wahhab". Abdul Wahhab bin Abdur Rehman because of his bad beliefs. The Ulama gave religious verdict against him and his organization (Al-Wahbiyya or Al-Wahhabiyya) and associates that Muslims must shun away from him.

The scholars of Maghrib who actively stood against any mission that is contrary to the teachings of Sunnah made important work in that  area by stopping any heretic ideology in the maghrib. The missions of Abul Wahhab bin Rustum  and the ideologies of Fatimids of Ubaiydys  were fought by such scholars. Also they strived to control their areas against the colonial invasion in North Africa and its environs. The  enemies of Islam do not like the pure teachings of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wassalaam) to be taken into cognizance. Such a mission that is Divine, simply, naturally penetrates into the minds and create a sense of changing and call people to harmony and unity; no power can destroy them. Therefore, they gathered their power together to annihilate the mission from sixteen (16) roots this can be traced in the writings of a number of ..

The Misconception of the Opponents

Gamitin ang HIkmah pagdating sa Pagkakasalungat

Assalaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh.

Hindi nakapagtataka kung may pagkakaiba ng opinyon ang mga pantas o scholar/ ulama sa mga usapin at alituntunin ng Islam [Masa'il Fiqhiyah] sanhi ng kanilang pagkakaiba ng pagkaunawa sa mga katibayan [Daleel] o sanhi ng pagkakaiba ng mga nauna pa sa kanila na mga pantas o maalam...

Dapat natin malaman na sa ganitong usapin ay isa lamang ang tama; subalit ang dalawang pantas na nagkasalungatan sa pagkaintindi ay pawang may gantimpala mula sa ALLAH, doble ang gantimpala ng nakatama at may gantimpala ang nagkamali sa pagkaintindi ng Daleel o katibayan at patatawarin ng Allah ay kanyang pagkakamali na sinikap niyang maunawaan ang tamang hatol o Huk'm.

Sinabi ng Sugo ng Allah [sumakanya ang kapayapaan]:" Kapag naghatol ang Hukom at nagsumikap [sa pagtuklas ng tamang hatol] at tama ang kanyang hatol ay doble ang kanyang gantimpala; at kapag nagbigay naman ng hatol at nagsumikap [sa pagtuklas ng tamang hatol] at nagkamal siya; mapapasakanya ang isang gantimpala". 

Al-Bukhari (6919), Muslim (4584).

...Ang mga naunang mga pantas/ maalam [ulama] ay nagkakaiba rin sila ng opinyon sa maraming usapin ngunit hindi naman ito humahantong sa pag-aaway, pagmumurahan, pang-aalipusta at pagpapahiya sa kapatid.

Sinabi ni Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal [Rahimahullah]:" Walang (naghirap) tumawid ng tulay papuntang Khurasan na tulad ni Ishaq bin Rahawey kahit na nasasalungat niya tayo sa ilang usapin. 

[Siyar A'alamin Nubala 11/ 371].

Sinabi ni Yunos bin Abdul A'ala:" Wala na akong nakitang mas matalino pa kay As-Shafi'e; isang araw nagdebate kami tungkol sa isang usapin at pagkatapos ay kami'y naghiwalay; at ako'y nasalubong, hinawakan ang aking kamay at sinabi:

" O ABU MUSA! HINDI BA MAAARING MAGING MAGKAPATID TAYO KAHIT NA HINDI TAYO NAGKASUNDO SA ISANG USAPIN?. 

[ Siyar A'alamin Nubala 9/19].

Sinabi naman ni Abu Haneefah:"... Ito ang ating opinyon at hindi natin ito ipinipilit sa sinuman, at hindi natin sinasabing dapat tanggapin ito ng sinuman nang sapilitan; kung sinuman ang mayroon pa sa kanya ang mas tama pa rito ay ipahayag lamang. 

[Al-intiqa 258].

kahit na sina Abu Bak'r at Omar sumakanila nawa ang kaluguran ng Allah ay minsa'y nagkakasalungat rin at hindi naman humahantong sa pag-aaway at pagputol ng kapatiran.

kaya! Aking ipinapayo, una sa aking sarili at sa lahat ng mga mananampalataya na sikaping magkaraoon ng tamang paraan kapag nasalungat niya ang kanyang kapatid sa isang usapin at laging gamitin ang HIKMAH (wisdom) upang maiparating ng tama ang katotohanan sa lahat ng tao. —

''At itinagubilin namin sa inyo na (maging masunurin at mabuti ) sa mga magulang. Ang kanyang ina ang nagdala sa kanya ( sa sinapupunan nito) na nanghina ng nanghina (noong siya’y ipinagbubuntis) at ang pag-awat sa pagpapasuso sa kanya ay tumagal ng dalawang taon. (Kaya) magpasalamat ka sa Akin (Allah) at sa iyong mga magulang…''

[Qur'an  31 : 14 ]

Ayon kay Abdullah bin Mas’ood (رضى الله عنه):’ Tinanong ko ang Propeta (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “Ano pong gawain ang pinakamainam?” Ang sabi niya: “Ang pagsasagawa ng Salah sa takdang sandali nito.” Ang sabi ko: “Ano pa po?” Ang sabi niya: “Ang paggawa ng mabuti sa mga magulang.” Ang sabi ko muli: “ Ano pa po?”Ang sabi niya: “Ang pakikipaglaban (Jihad) alang-alang kay Allah.”

Ayon kay Abu Hurayrah (رضى الله عنه): May isang lalaking dumating at nagsabi sa Sugo ni Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) na: “ O Sugo ni Allah’ sino po sa mga tao ang higit na karapat-dapat sa aking magandang pakikisama? Ang sabi niya (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “Ang iyong ina.” Ang sabi muli ng lalaki: “Sino pa po?”Ang sabi niya (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “ Ang iyong ina.” Ang sabi muli ng lalaki: “Sino pa po?”Ang sabi niya (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “ Ang iyong ina.” Ang sabi muli ng lalaki: “Sino pa po?”Ang sabi niya (صلى الله عليه وسلم): “ Ang iyong ama.”

Ang Katayuan ni Hesus sa ISLAM

Ang lahat ng papuri ay para sa Allah lamang, at ang kapayapaan at mapasa huling Propeta Muhammad (SAS).

Noong likhain ng Maykapal ang ating ama na si Adan, ang mga tao ay sumasamba sa nag-iisang Diyos.  Dahil iyon ang dakilang utos mula pa noong unang panahon, ang pagsamba sa Nag-iisang tagapaglikha, at ang pagsamba na ito ay sa pamamagitan ng pagkilalla sa kanya sa tamang paraan at sa pamamagitan ng pagsamba sa Kanya sa paraang Kanyang ipinag-utos.

Nguni’t sa katagalan, nanghimasok ang Satanas sa kanila upang sila ay kanyang maligaw mula sa tuwid na landas.  Kabilang sa mga taong ito ay ang mga taong mabubuti.  Nang sila ay mamatay, bumulong ang satanas sa mga tao:  Magtayo kayo ng mga monumento para sa kanila, upang sa tuwing makikita niyo ang mga ito, nagpapaalala sa inyo na gumawa ng mabuti.  At sa katagalan, nang mangamatay na ang mga taong gumawa ng monumento, hindi na alam ng mga sumunod na henerasayon kung bakit may mga REBULTONG nakatayo, at bumulong muli ang Satanas; ang mga rebultong yan ay may mga kapangyarihan, magbigay kayo ng pagpupugay at debosyon at sambahin niyo sila.  Kaya sinamba sila ng mga tao.  At nagpadala ang  Allah ng mga Propeta na sa tuwing ang mga tao, may mga gabay sa kanila sa tuwid na landas na pagsamba sa Nag-iisang Diyos.

Ipinadala Niya si Noe (Noah (AS)) upang ibalik ang mga tao sa Allah mula sa pagiging diboto ng mga ito sa mga rebulto.  Pagkawala ni Noe, muling bumalik nang mga tao sa pagiging diboto sa mga nilikha.  Kaya nagpadala muli Siya ng mga Propeta at mga sugo.  Kaya’t bumalik ang mga tao sa pagsamba sa tunay na Diyos, at pagkatapos ay natatangay na naman sila ng satanas sa pagsamba sa mga huwad na diyus-diyusan.  At ganoon ang takbo ng panahon, papalit-palit, ika nga sa kasabihan: “history repeats itself”.

Kabilang sa mga Propeta at sugo na ipadala ng Allah upanggabayan ang kanilang mga tao o bayan mula sa pagsamba sa mgahuwad na diyus-diyusan ay: Noe,  Saleh,  Hud,  Abraham, lot,  Ismael,  Isaac,  Jacob,  Joseph,  Joseph,  Jonah,  Moises,  Aaron, David,  Solomon,  Juan Bautista, Hesu Kristo at ang pinaka-huling Propeta na si Muhammad (sumakanila nawa ang kapayapaan).

At kabilang sa mga propeta at mensaherong ito ay si Hesu kristo (sumakanya nawa ang kapayapaan).  Dahil siya ay napapaloob sa mga linya ng mga Propeta na ipinadala upang ibalik ang kanyang mga bayan muli sa Allah.

Sabi ni hesus sa Qur’an:
“Sabi  niya (Hesus): “Ako ay alipin ng Allah, binigay sa akin ang Aklat (Ebanghelyo) at ginawa akong propeta”.

At sinabi din ng Bibliya;
“Ito ay si Hesusang propeta sa Nazaret” (Mateo 21:11)
“Si Hesus, na isang propeta…”(Lukas 24:19)

At ayon din  sa salita ni Hesus na hindi siya dumating dumating upang baguhin ang batas, bagkus upang ituloy at ipatupad ang batas na pagsamba sa Nag-iisang tagapaglikha.

Ayon sa turo ng Isalm tungkol sa katayuan ni Hesus, siya ay mula sa lahi ni Propeta Abraham mula sa anak niyang si Isaac at mula sa anak nitong si Jacob.  Linya ng mga Propeta.

Ang kuwento ni Maria bago at pagkatapos maisilang si Hesus (sumakanya nawa ang kapayapaan) ayon sa Qur’an 19:16.

Na noong si Maria ay nag-iisa sa silid upang siya ay mag-alay ng mga debosyon at panalangin sa Allah, Dumating sa kanya ang Anghel Gabriel sa porma ng isang tao.  At nagparating sa kanya ng magandang balita.  Na si Maria ay magkaroon ng anak na lalaki.

At nagtaka si Maria: “Paano ako magkaroon ng anak samantalang wala namang lalaking humawak sa akin?.

Ang sabi ng “sabi ng iyong Panginoon; “iyon ay madali lamng para sa akin.”

Kaya sa kapangyarihan at kapahintulutan ng allah, si Maria ay nagdalantao, na siya si Hesus (sumakanay nawa ang kapayapaan). At ayon pa rin sa Qur’an, nang isilang ni Maria si Propeta Hesus, dahil sa hirap na dala ng panganganak, sinabi sa kanya ng Anghel na ugain ang puno ng datiles at ginawa nga niya ito.  At nangalaglag ang mga bunga nito sa kanya para makain niya.  At sa pagbalik ni Maria sa kanyang bayan kasama ang sanggol na si hesus, nagtaka ang mga tao.  At kanilang Inakusahan si Maria, dahil nga siya ay nagkaroon ng anak samantalang wala naman siyang asawa.  At sa puntong iyon, bilang pangangalaga ng Allah sa kanyang alipin na si Maria, ay pinagsalita niya si Hesus habang ito ay nasa kanyang duyan; “Ako ang alipin ng Allah, binigay sa akin ang aklat at ginawa akong Propeta, at  ginawa  akong  mabiyaya  saan  man  ako  maparoon, at ipinag-utos sa akin ang pagdarasal at kawang-gawa habang ako ay nabubuhay.”   At iyon ang unang himala na  pinamalas ni Propeta Hesus, ang pagtatanggol sa kanyang ina mula sa bintang ng mga tao.

At sa paglaki ni Hesus kanyang ipinagaral na sumamba lamang sa nag-iisang Diyos na Tagapaglikha.  At ganoon din ay pinahintulutan siya ng Allah na magpamalas ng iilang mga himala upang patunayan na siya ay sugo ng Panginoon.  Kabilang ang pagbuhay ng mga patay, pagpapagaling ng mga ketongin, papapadilat ng mga bulag, at marami pa.

At sa kanyang pangangaral, nagkaroon ng inggit ang mga matataas na pinuno ng simbahan ng mga hudyo, at hanggang sa kanilang binalak na patayin si Kristo.

Nguni’t HINDI ito pinayagan ng Allah.  Bagkus ay inangat si Hesus sa pangalawang langit,  Buhay at hindi dumanas ng kamatayan.  Bagkus ay ibang tao ang apinamukha sa kanila ng Allah at siya ay kanilang kanilang pinako.  Sabni sa Qur’an: “At hindi nila siya napatay, at hindi naipako, Nguni’t ipinamukha lamang sa kanila.” At siya ay babalik muli, upang ipagpatulo ang kanyang buhay sa mundo, na kung saan ay tinawag na muling pagbalik ni Hesus (sumakanya nawa ang kapayapaan).
Katayuan niya sa Islam

Sinabi ng Allah na sinabi ni Hesus (sumakanya nawa ang kapayapaan):
“O mga angkan ni Israel, katotohanan na ako ay isang sugo ng Allah sa inyo.  Na aking pinatunayan ang Torah, at tagapagdala ng magandang balita sa inyo ng isang sugo pagkatapos ko na ang pangalan ay Ahmad (Muhammad).”

Sa madaling sabi: si Hesus ay isang Sugo para sa mga Israel. At hindi para kanino pa man.  “Hindi ako ipinadala liban sa naliligaw na tupa  ng Israel.” Bibliya.

Isang dakilang sugo Propeta ng Allah,  na sa kanaya rin ipinagkaloob ang salita ng Allah sa Aklat o Kapahayagan ng Ebanghelyo.  Wala siyang ipinagkaiba sa kanyang mga ninuno, Abraham, David…

At sa katuruan ng Islam; Si Hesus ay isang tao, Kakaiba nga lang ang paraan ng paglikha sa kanaya, ngunit siya pa rin ay tao.  Tulad lamang ni adan at ni Eba, ibang paraan ang paglikha sa kanila, nguni’t sila ay mga tao.  Ganoon din na sinabi ng Allah; “Hindi nararapat sa Allah na magkaroon Siya ng Anak, kaluwalhatian  sa kanya, kapag mayroon Siyang ninais mangyari, sasabihin lamang Niya: “kun!” mangyari at ito nga ang mangyayari.”

At si Hesus din ay hindi kabahagi ng maykapal na Tagapaglikha sa Kanyang pagka-Diyos. Siya ay isang Propeta, Sugo, at Alipin ng Allah.  Ipinadala siya sa Israel.  Kaya nararapat lamang na hindi tayo mag-alay ng anumang debosyon,  o pag-aalay o pagsamba sa kanya.

Aklat bibliya (Sampung utos) sabi ng tagapaglikha:

“Huwag kayong sasamba ng ibang Diyos liban sa akin.’

Sabi ng Allah sa Qur’an:

“Walang Diyos maliban sa Akin, kaya sambahin Ako lamang.”

Page 107-111 (Correction of the Historical Errors About AL-WAHHABIYYAH)

These people, had for long continued flipping over the pages of Islamic history from cover to cover, so as to detect any short coming of Islam or less to find mischievous people from among the Muslims who could be supported technically, materially and financially to enable them actualize their insidious goals. Both these orientalists and those evil people parading as Muslims belong to the same class, and their sole intention is to destroy Islam. These combined together to confuse the minds of the masses who can neither read nor write or even understand. At the same time they went about vilifying the mission that emerged in the Arabian Peninsula from the Kharajites of North Africa. And the scholars of North Africa fought against this sect even before the advent of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. However, for these lies to hold ground they fabricated falsehood against Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab and his followers.

Moreover, Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, in most of his treatises, refuted and replied these falsehood and rumours spread against him. The great scholars from Morocco who performed pilgrimage in the year 1226 AH were aware of the distortion of facts, to the detriment of this mission through the dialogue held between Al-Maula Abu Ishaq Bin Sultan, Al-Maula Suleiman and Imam Sa'ud Bin Abdul-Aziz after demise of Sheikh Mohammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab for long. History books of Magrib include this event, which...

page-107-

categorically expose the bias andood falsehood fabricated against Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. To this  extent, all the scholars agreed that his mission is a true teaching of Porphet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam) and his pious followers.

Imam Ibrahim, Bin Sultan Suleiman, who led the delegation, 'see eye to eye' with the mission at the end of the dialogue. But, those power hungry scholars in religious garb, and those who follow their desires continue to further exaggerate the fabricated falsehood and rumours spread against the mission.

As such, if a person with an objective sense of reasoning take a look at the Wahhabiyya of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, will reason with the fact that his name is Muhammad and to link him with that would have been   named Muhammadiya (not Wahhabiya). But had it been called Muhammadiya the movement  will reflect upon the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam), thereby, rendering the action of the perpetrators of these evil ineffective, whose goal is never actualized. Also, the father of Muhammad neither formed a movement nor did he sent on for a mission, therefore to attribute any movement to him is unjustifiable. In short, the main objectives of this mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, who based his teachings on the pious predecessors' teachings imply a great intellectual acrobatism and historical distortion.

page-108-  

Furthermore, the masses find it difficult to distinguish between the two names that is, Abdul-Wahhab Bin Abdur Rehman and MUhammad BIn ABdul-Wahhab. Owing to this, they (mischievous people) ensured that the old Wahhabiya and its evils are attributed to Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab, so as to tarnish the image as well as to crumble down the mission. This come to lime light as inferred from the reports and documents of Ibrahim Pasha dispatched to Muhammad Ali in Egyot; and some writings of the Ottoman officers some nicknames such as:- Al-Wahhabiyya, the Kharijites, the heretics against the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab at that period .

This class of people, worked hand in hand to mislead the masses regarding anything to do with the mission of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. It might be method of preaching (adopeted by Muhammad bin Abdul-Wahhab) seems new to the public and to verify him is easy, thereby, causing the gullible minds to accept anthing against it. This is clear, the similitude of which is seen in the Qur'an and the Biography of the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallam) with the enemies of Islam, at the initial stage, when he (salallaahu alaihi wasallaam) preached Islam. This is one hand and in another, a similar observation can be made in the contemporary period, as any group of youths group that hold the real to as fanatics or extremists, and a number of nicknames are adopted to refer to them, deliberately aimed at..

page-109- 

crippling the religious zeal in their minds; at the same time to create a line of distinction between them and those who do not understand.

In every place and period of time, the masses who form the majority always demand an explanation from the government on anything to do with new happenings. As soon as the mission came to lime light, the scholars at that time, majority of whom were after wordly materials, found it easy to hide the truth bu instigating the masses to shun away or even fight against the mission since their mind is already confused. That is why we see this good mission is therefore, rendered a division or tagged as a hectic sect.

Of course, this misconception ring bells in the minds of the authority of the Ottoman government. Since, the mother of one of the Ottoman leaders had once been upset when Abdullaah Bin Sa'ud defeated Ottoman army in a place called Wadi Safara, between Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah and Yanbo.

While in other Muslim countries, they were able to associate the mission with whatever bad they deem it fit at tthe forefront in attacking the truth. These sycophants have no direction, other than accumulation of material wealth. At the same time they want assume leadership over the ignorant who do not have a through understanding of their religion, as well as, the hidden motives of these pretenders.

page-110-

Thus, the Prophet (salallaahu alaihi wasallaam) warned against ill-effect of scholars, and the wrongdoers, who deviate and cause others to deviate.

These classes of people who waged war against the mission have touched the most significant aspect of people's life i.e. religion; most specially those who do not know and could not trace the original source, hence, they gullibly accept whatever comes into their way.

The said class of people joined hands together, in order to cause confusion to the detriment of the new mission, whose sole aim is to unite the Muslims under one umbrella, rejecting all forms of superstition, enlightening the minds of the public, directing people to learn. As education is the foundation of the mission. Thus, knowledge is set to be the first and foremost in the activities of the mission at Dar'iya, according to Ibn Ghannam and Ibn Bishr in their history of this mission, as the adherents of the mission are highly desirous in learning. The Sheikhs disciples divided their time between learning and earning their livelihood as shown below:

After Fajr prayer to noon is for learning.

From noon to Zuhr is for work and farming.

From Zuhr to Asr-break.

Asr to Maghrib work.

Maghrib to Isha'-educational circles, research and debate.

Page 102-106 (Correction of the Historical Errors About AL-WAHHABIYYAH)

This mission has influenced some Europeans, Turkish and Africans and many Muslim thinkers were busy with this mission in Ash-Shams, Morocco and even inside Turkey.

The Ottoman government was very disturbed with this development, so other people with ulterior motives, who misrepresented this mission to the Ottoman government so many bad habits of the Bedouins were attributed to the mission.

The founder of this mission and his followers did not leave any stone unturned regarding the misrepresentation and flagrant falsehood flung at the mission. Some people also demanded for more explanation  from the founder about his teachings.

In consequence of which he wrote many letters as pointed out below:

The letter of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab to sheikh Fadhil Al-Miziad, Leader of the Desert of Syria, in which he said, the reason for this letter is that Rashid Bin Urban told us what you said about us. I am very pleased with your stand. It seems, you wanted me to refute the rumours and falsehood against that are being fabricated against our...

mission. I am very pleased with your position, that you cannot accept any saying without thorough investigation, Then the sheikh continued explaining about the true picture of his mission based on the legal cord of Allaah and Prophetical guidance.

The letter of sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab to Abdur-Rahman Al-Suwaidi, a scholar from Iraq, in which sheikh Muhammad stated that:

"We have received your letter, and we are very pleased with it. May Allaah enlist you among the righteous and pious Imams, and those callers to the religion of the leader of the messengers (Muhammad Salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam). I am very happy to inform you that I am a follower not an innovator. My belief and religion with which I worship Allaah is in conformity with the pronciples of Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jama'a and are agreed upon by the four leading Imams and their followers till the day of Judgement. But, I ado preach about the sincerity in worshipping Allaah alone; I also preach to the people against worshipping saints, as it is very very common among the masses, when imploring for help or seeking refuge; they also associate Allaah with other partners and their sacrifices, vows, and reliance in prostration upon other beings apart from Allaah."

In other matters that are obligations duly for Allaah alone, as no one can share it among the Prophetical Messengers and ..

page-103-

the closest Angels. Indeed, it is the same message conveyed (to us) by the messengers of Allaah from the first to the last. Thus, the Ahlus - SUnna-Wal-Jama'a stand firmly on it till today.

A letter of sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab which he explained the milestone of his mission. A portion of this letter reads as follows:

"You and others, are already aware about the loss which came to us, after demolishing some domes on the graves of essence of destroying such buildings erected over graves. To them, it os considered as a bad act. But, we refuted their argument and asked them to call upon Allaah alone sincerely. However, they resisted and the so-called Ulama, with ulterior motives, encouraged such masses to go against us. Therefore, they fabricated rumours and falsehood against us. Thus, they claimed that we are abusing the pious, and myself in particular, I am not among the guided scholars, they spread such rumours from east to west. In fact, what they really said no sensible person can repeat. That is why I convey this information to you. For I am telling the truth, since a person like you is not the type one can convey lies to him. We are the followers of Sunnah and we follow the school of law of sheikh Ahmad Bin Hanbal. Even the lies..

page-104-

spread against me, that I call for analytical deduction from the original sources, here, I don't follwo any leader according to them if you think demolition of domes, and order that non-shall be worshipped except Allaah is contrary to the reaching of the Salaf, we wish to know.?"

He stated at the end of his letter that I take Allaah and his Angels to bear witness with me, and I would like you to bear witness that I consider myself a follower to the guided scholars and if I am wrong, I would like you to point out my mistake. As I bear witness with Allaah that I will definitely accept; since, being on the right oath is far ahead of deviation.

His letter to a scholar in Medina in which he stated that:

"I am pleased to inform you that I have received your letter. I hope Allaah is pleased with you. And I am happy to learn that you are in good condition.

"We are also in good condition. But If you ask about the bone of contention' between us and others concerning religious principles, Iman, Salat, Fasting, Zakat and Hajj, we share the same position. With regards to prohibitions in the Shari'a, our stand is the same; for whatever is good on our side is also good on the other side.

He wrote many letters which were seen as a threat to the Ottoman government and its leaders all over the Muslim...

World. This Ottoman government collaborated with colonialists, for their hidden agenda on one part, and on the other, to divide the Muslims to enable them cripple the strength of Muslims until they entrenched disunity among them. Their intention was to bring obstacle to pure Islamic call which is aimed at uniting the Muslims through a total obedience to Allaah (azza wajaal). The Ottomans are not aware of this benifit derived from this mission. They joined hands with western powers and Sufi orders aimed at fighting against the teachings of Muhammad Bin Abdul-Wahhab. It is possible to assume that jews played a big role in this exercise. Because, their history will realize the bad intention of ABdullaah Bin Saba the jew who embraced Islam solely to destroy it from within, as well as, to cause confusion among the weaker Muslims and his organization was named after him (Saba'iya).

This evil machination can also be traced in the orientalists approach to the studies of Islam. They try to tarnish the image of Islam in the present century, to the extent of causing people to shun away from it. They also put some element of doubt in  its thought and history, and nobody can deny that the majority of the orientalists are jews.

we say is akin to what Imam Malik said, to rise over some thing is well known to everybody but the manner in which Allaah rose over the throne is unknown and to ask how he rose over the throne is in innovation, but to believe in it is obligatory. Is there any point of difference in that? They answered: NO, our stand is the same.

The chief Judge said we were informed that you claim that "Prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam) and the rest of Prophets  was mentioned, he trembled and invoked Allaah's blessings on him, then he said Allaah forbid. But what we said was: the Prophet (salla Allaahu alaihi wasallam) is alive in his grave likewise other Prophets are alive in their graves above the degree of the life of Martyrs.

At the end of these narrations, the author stated that: I said the Sultan Al-Maula Sulaiman mercy of Allaah be upon him noticed something like that, consequently he wrote his famous letter to the Imam, in which he described the type of monastical life of the Sufis and warned against it and he also warned against deviation from the Prophet's tradition as well as over exaggeration of innovations. He further described the manner of conducting visits to the graves of the saints and he warned people the public who were fond of paying visits to the graves in bad manner. May Allaah reward him in abundance.

In the cyclopedia of Islam, Professor Muhammad kamal Juma'at narrated that Al-Maula Sulaiman in the year 1810...

page-98-

was influenced by the mission of Sheikh Muhammad bIn ABdul-Wahhab to the extent that he took a drastic action against the followers of Sufi orders in Maghrib.

Dr. Abbas AL-Jariri in his lecture delivered in Riyadh University in the year 1399 A.H. who said: " This trend of Salafi movement once again   emerged in the Maghrib for the second time in the fourteenth century of the Hijrah, when Sultan Al-Hassan I introduced a letter to the community of Maghrib in the year 1399 AH.

Ahmad Bin Hajar also held a discussion about Sunusia movement which was founded by this mission during his study period in Makkah, when the Saudi Royal Family took over control of Makkah.

Maula Suleiman (the Maghrib Sultan) assisted the Algerians in order to replace those that had been demolished.

Fourthly, the Italians-the activities of Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Sunusi who was born in ALgeria in the year 1202 AH. disturbed the Italians i.e. his mission of Revivalism in Libya. He was trying to revive Islam to its purity in faith and practice. He also encouraged his people to resist the Italian forces in North Africa who came to steal the resources of the land and cause strife.

page-99-

The Italian were also not happy with the Somalis, because of their connection with the new mission which came to them through pilgrims. This mission also penetrated East Africa right the horn of Africa who are neighbors of the Arabian Peninsula. The Moroccan pilgrims also took the mission to their own country  where reformers and revivalists emerged.

Fifthly: The Dutch were moved by the mission from the mission activists who occupied their country and are struggling to purify their creed in the Islands of Sumatra and Java and Indonesia. Those people also got wind of this mission through pilgrims who waged war against innovation and superstition whenever they got back to their home countries. A number of Muslim organizations emerged in that country that are solely aimed at eradicating innovations and deviations from the path of pure Islam.

In Jakarta, Muhammad association was formed, a group that became a thorn in the flesh so the colonial masters adopted another method; they backed associations that indulged in innovations, so as to strike at the root of unadulterated Islam. As the Muslim organizations who were influenced by into their are from 1218 AH. They struggled continuously for 16 years before being defeated by the colonial forces.

page-100-

In short this mission reached many Islamic governments through their pilgrims who were influenced by the followers of Abdul-Wahhab.

They practiced the teachings of that mission in their area by eradicating innovation and superstition. Their preaching and religious activities uncontrollable and the missionaries were alarmed. This mission of Abdul-Wahhab got the supportive voices all over the Muslim world. ie. Sudan, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan the Eastern Indian Islands, Nigeria (Hausa and Bornu) this has been mentioned by many authors who wrote about Abdul-Wahhab and his mission. This movement struck cords in many hearts and shook many ideals and ignited revivalism as well as, the zeal to purify Islam from all innovations. Thus, Imam Malik said:

"The end of this generation would not be straightened out except with what the former generations were straightened out."

It was this kind of powerful oratory that shook the colonialist and instilled fear in their hearts. They were alarmed at the strength of the devotees' conviction.

who was tied with a rope and kept in a cage. Later he was taken to Egypt on bored a ship. This tactics in speech is aimed at forging disunity among the Muslims. As he attempted to forge disparity between Omanis and Arabian peninsula. Though, they are united in Islamic brotherhood; thereby, discharging their duties according to the teachings of the Noble Qur'an and Sahih Ahadith.

2. He pointed out that religion is staunched enemy of modernity and development. He further described the Bedouins of Najd as people who possessed the true spirit of Islamic worship; since they discharge all obligations and do not neglect their prayers even when travelling long distances (when they are on a journey) or whatever hardship there might be. Contradiction can also be noticed in his comparison between Bedouin Arabs and Turks. In which the Turks had a spirit culture as they do not allow religion to hinder them from resting or having their fun time.

3. Attempting the verification of the people of Al-Madinah. Hence, he described them as beggars, avaricious, and they are supposed to be instead they are portrayed as beggars who live by alms from the pilgrims.

This hatred against Islam was channeled directly through the crusaders.

But, what was more astonishing was what was Saddler used to say regarding Ibrahim Pasha.

page-93-

A-That he dined with him according to the English style. He spoke with him about his journey and that he gave him British presents and letters before entering Al-Madinah to the Messenger (salallaahu alaihi wasalam). He added that Ibrahim Pasha served him with tea, cigarettes, snuff and pipes. He also said that coffee was presented in a tray invalid with diamonds.

B.Also, Saddler said about Ibrahim Pasha that he was an adopted son of Muhammad Ali. During his childhood, he was taken as a hostage in Istanbul. It was said that Ibrahim Pasha was a borne a few months after his father had got married to his mother. He used to be a drunkard and rude with his employees.

C. In another place he said: "He only supervised the service of some Mamelukes. When Mohammad Ali Pasha entered the sacred land of Muhammad", his excellency determined to give up all kinds of amusement and entertainment, in addition to do drinking alcoholic drinks. Consequently, he wasted all that had been stored or conserved of it. This caused him to be brought from Cairo. All these incidents took place before his outburst towards Al-Madinah.

Secondly: France played a big role in influencing mission of Sheikh Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab in North Africa. The Maghrib rulers and scholars showed their desire ..

page-94-

to trace the actual of this mission, hence the following examples:


Muhammad Bin Abdullaah Al-Alawiy the Sultan of Maghreb was greatly influenced by this mission. After thorough studies and investigations he waged a war against innovations in his country. He fought against the division of Salafi orders/sects; and called for Analytical deductions and Sunnah adherence, these beside his desires in particular, and dynasty  in general.

A French historian Charley Julian described  this Sultan, in his book 'The History of North Africa', he stated that: Muhammad was a pious and man of Godliness, he was aware of the movement of Wahhabiyya in the Arabian peninsula through the pilgrims and he was aware that the movement had gained support from the Saudi Royal Family. He was highly impressed with explanations and teachings of this movement. He was usually quoted to have said:

"I am Maliki by the school of thought and Wahhabi belief."

His religious enthusiasm lead him to destroy books that do not put emphasis on religion and those books are supporting the Ash'ary thought. He ordered also the destruction of domes erected over the graves of the saints.

page-95-

In the year 1226 AH Al-Maula Ibrahim Bin Sultan Sulaiman in the company of Muslim scholars performed pilgrimage to the holy Land.
