25 Year Brain Drain Finished With Our Salafi Brothers | Dr. Mufti Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera 

Brother Mangera i started to follow you few months ago, i am revert from Finland 21 years ago...seaking knowlege and i love your style to tell clearly things that i understand Islam better...you are a pearl to give knowledge Alhamdulillah

Mufti is a thoroughly decent person , I had the pleasure of being in a group that was alongside mufti on hajj in 2019.

I am just in love how Dr mufti Abdur Rahman sahab damad barkatuhum settled the issue with intellect peace and love ❣️ jazakallah for bringing such a peaceful lecture to us

Well done. You did this without pointing fingers, ridiculing, in the most respectable manner to make your point.

I was freed from 25 years of Wahhabiya influence on one Rabiul Awwal month الحمد لله

I think many of us have had exposure to Salafi dawah. Alhamdulillah even for that, because there was a long time when that was the only way to learn our Salah, etc. Our mistakes made us learn to ask questions and take corrections, alhamdulillah. I find that many Muslims who were handed the deen and didn't have a struggle arriving at the correct way are willing to throw it away instantly for the next alphabet agenda or remove hijab, or excuse riba, etc. Alhamdulillah for our struggles to understand madhahib and work on ourselves.

ma sha Allah. your fiqh al-imam book brought me so much clarity. i used to be salafi - as a revert myself and i’ve noticed too that for born muslims who decide to begin practicing - especially if their families aren’t, they tend to follow salafiyyah. i think this is… for both parties due to ignorance and also the accessibility of resources from salafi funded projects. but alhamdullilah, you help me with my islam. such a beautiful book that is concise yet it provides the necessary detail when needed

Make the Sunnah of grooming, dressing well and looking good great again!

I’m a Salafi and have wasted 25 years with them. I now have to relearn everything from the detail matters all over. I’m researching and asking Allah to guide me more and more. You Shaikh have clarified so many matters to me now. So too Abu Aaliyah. May Allah bless you and your family all in this life and the next. I believe it’s never too late. I hope I can re-learn properly now.

Assalamu Alaykum from Kurdistan region. I love you for the sake of Allah

Sheikh, go to the valley of Hadramawt, Yemen. That’s the practical of the sunnah. I believe that’s the last remaining place on earth practicing all the Sunnah. It is also the specific place Sayiddina Abu Bakr As-Siddique made 3 specific duas for the inhabitants and its land. A truly hidden gem. It is known as the “land of the auliya.”

JazaakALLAH Sheikh, the voice of common sense prevails Maa Sha ALLAH

I think we have made fiqh dry of taqwa. One thing ALL of us, whether scholars or normies, have to make sure to remember and consider always, is that at the end of it all, ALLAH is the one who will judge whether we have most sincerely chosen an fiqh opinion or we have chosen, instead, based on our desires. We have to fear ALLAH when choosing the best path to ALLAH and even more so when we judge others on their fiqhi choices and opinions. Let's all come back to taqwa of ALLAH. 1:04:35 Well said!

Whoever titles these videos knows how to get us to stand on our tippie toes, maa shaa Allah. I am on the edge of my seat waiting for this one to drop إن شاء الله.

Alhmdl now I understand that the 4 Fiqh Madhabs are just systems and frameworks to study Fiqh and produce Fatwas with extreme amounts of research gone into producing their foundations and then were refined by mountains of top scholars that the Ummah has never seen since centuries. It’s impossible rather foolish to even try in some sort of way to re-invent the wheel. I remember Shaikh I bought your Book about the proofs and the angles for the Prayer before many years and I wrote on it with a permanent black on the front “This book needs refuting and should only be read by students of knowledge”!!! All I did 4 months ago is I turned to Allah SWT and said maybe I’m wrong. I’m sure actually I’m wrong because can the Salafis, especially the Madkhali which I was close to, how can they be Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah when they don’t do any Jama’ah as they keep splitting up more and more amongst themselves not to forget they split the Ahle Hadeeth Masjids up in the UK wherever they are. Plus they warn from even praying in other masjids of traditional Sunni Muslims. So I asked Allah to guide me along the way and after plenty of careful research it became very clear I’ve been misguided and been misguiding others in the issues of Aqeedah and Fiqh and Purification of the Soul. Issues of Bid’ah were turned into Major Kufr and Major Shirk. Where Imam ibn Taymiyyah went against the Salaf we have been following him and promoted that. Where Imam Muhammad ibn Wahhab had major errors we followed and promoted it and we made judgements based upon all of this and much more. We mocked and boycotted. We misquoted. We even had many major contractions. We believed we were the Saved sect so look down on others and thought we were the most blessed and so never gave even 5% of what is needed to practice the Pillar of Ih’saan termed as Tazkiyyatu Nafs/Purification of the Soul. Why as we thought us being from the saved sect will save us. We would judge by clothing and appearance too. If you got a turban or Salwar Kameez or say Hazrat so and so or such and such book Shareef then we would say he’s dodgy at best. I’m researching and going to summarise this all with a list of sources for more details soon to give out to the more sincere open minded Salafis. We need to make a lot of Dua for our Salafi brothers and sisters. I don’t think any of the heads of this group will repent as they will lose everything as in reality their Eemaan is weak because they lack in purification of the Soul. They don’t look after their heart. So they will hold onto their followings and positions. The pleasure of Allah is last. They are used to the status. They will fight against us to maintain their status. They don’t want to look foolish. To be found out they have been misguided and misguiding many others. They know they’ll have re-learn a lot. The salafis don’t even learn or teach simple Fiqh properly. It’s all upside down. I’m re/learning how. I wasted 25 years. I hope to save many others to not waste many years of their life too. Make plenty of Dua for me. I have now a mountain to climb. It took me a lot of courage to admit I was wrong and accept the haqq. Just to research with an open heart was hard enough. But it’s like Allah made it easy to understand. Jzkl

I can feel genuine anger in his voice and it's perfectly justified. masha Allah

The great scholars of haheeth never never ever made chapter headings to make their books into books of Fiqh. It was clearly only to make it easy to organise the many hadeeth. Imam Abu Zur’ah at-Raazi said I sat with Ahmed ibn Hanbal and would mention to him a chapter then he would start mentioning all the narrations with their chains for that chapter. The books of Fiqh were set up to put all the thousands of Fiqh issues into organised chapters. Their sentences summarised all the proofs such as verses and many hadeeth and narrations of the Sahaaba and Taabieen and so on.

My Heart really moved watching this the school system in the USA really knocked me off my square. Masha ‘Allah I’ve been lead here.

@58:21 The book mentioned is 'Durra al-Bahiyya' - This is also available in English titled 'Comprehensive-Islamic-Jurisprudence-Sh.-Muhammad-ash-Shawkani-(around 815+ pages); published in Malaysia ...available also in UK through Darus Salaam Books, London Central Mosque). I can provide the soft copies if anyone is interested...

Subhanallah this was such a great lecture. I have encountered a lot of the Salafi - non madhabis in the last decade and this is the best discourse I have listened to yet. Mat Allah reward you all.

Absolutely spot on. This is why I always laugh and reply to them, "we all follow Quran and Sunnah... the 4 imams followed and studied the Quran and the Sunnah." I guess for some, they prefer placing a monopoly and an ownership of the Quran/Sunnah. "Us vs them" dynamics, a boatload of group-think, and a bigger boat-load of jahils.

Mash'Allah this is one of the best lectures I've heard on madhabs. ❤❤❤

May Allah increase you in baraka. Amazing, timely, relevant talk which we all need to listen to. Jazaakallahu khairan dear Sheikh

IBN MASOOD RA STATED IN HIS TIME"" TODAY WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN THE SCHOLARS ARE MORE AND SPEAKERS ARE LESS, THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN SCHOLARS ARE LESS AND SPEAKERS ARE MORE"' SO BEWARE MY DEAR BROTHERS.

Salafi dawah is big on the internet which is why people who don't have first hand access to religious people, keep getting knowledge from sources that have dwindled from the tradition, salafism has caused a lot of damage, Nevertheless Alhamdulillah, Allah swt is Al Hadi, whomsoever he guides none can lead astray and whomsoever he leads astray none can guide

Brother new to the channel. I love u for the sake of Allah. You are what the ummah needs. Peace

Subhan Allah thanks to allah s.w.t that we have scholars of islam

May Allah bless the two noble scholars and increase them in taqwa and ikhlaas

I listened to this and I have a few things to say: 1. Most of the 'Salafi Fiqh' is based upon the Madhab of Imam Ahmad. And even Shaikh Muhammadi Ibn Abdul Wahhab was Hanbali. However, modern Hanbali scholars like Shaikh Bin Baaz, Uthaimeen, Sa'di, Fawzaan etc go against the Mu'tamad of the Madhab at times and many of the Salafis go back to them to seek Fatwa. 2. A person would teach the Madhab what he learnt. Hence, if there are several students who were in Riyadh, Madeenah and Makkah it is obvious that they would teach Hanbali books. Likewise, many of the scholars like Shaikh Mutlaq Al Jaasir and Shaikh Ahmad Quaimi and Shaikh Aamir Bhajat who offer online programs teach Hanbali Fiqh. So to muscle people into teaching or learning a system they don't know is entirely ridiculous. 3. In terms of Madhahib I believe that those who graduated from Darul Ulooms in the subcontinent NEED to be more tolerant. If one travels to Azhar Masjid all the Madhahib co-exist and that is because the teachers there have knowledge and understanding regarding Fiqh, its nuances and complexities. 4. The main issue is Aqeedah. Abu Haneefah, Shafiee, Malik, Ahmad, Bukhari, Muslim etc. were all upon one Aqeedah. They were neither Maaturidi or Ashari.

This is so timely. May Allah reward all the shaykhs and everyone who made this happen

سبحان الله Another good example of why we shouldn't just see "Dr" or "mufti" in the titles and follow the person. May Allah guide everyone who is sincere. آمين

Dear mufti mengera this talk about salafi is a very good talk

When a Scholar A speaks on an issue give evidence...and Scholar B speaks on the same issue but does not give evidence, who do we follow? For the one who can read, listen, understand, has intelligent the follows Scholar A.

Alhamdulilah Shaykh, thank you so much for this lecture. They say "lets follow quran and sunnah" so are they saying the 4 Imams didnt follow the sunnah? The pseudo-salafis speak in double talk and hide whats inside their chests.

Alhamdulillah for our ulama e haq like this Dr Mufti❤❤❤

10:45 - Imam Nawawi, Imam Tahawi, Fakhar ad Din Razi, Ibn Rajab Hanbali, Ibn Hajar Asqalani, Imam Dhahabi, Ibn Kathir, ibn Al Jawzi, Imam Suyuti, ibn Jarir at Tabari etc.

Masha’allah, just a quick statement: A person who follows the Quran and Sunnah isn’t a salafi, they’re just a Muslim.

Mufti Sahib thought process behind his words is what i enjoy the most and then his explanation of details. It’s important as a viewer to understand the thought process behind these lectures rather than jump on this whole bidah and haram diagnoses.

Fascinating and insightful! Consider doing similar for the schools of creed

SubhanAllah Amazing lecture, I was a salafi and it took months of slowly breaking away from it which happened very recently, and many of them are so staunch that just a few days age, lay followers who just began studying- passing idiotic fatwas like it is nothing, one of them said that an athari women cannot marry from a athari or mattaduri.

Lol the madhkalis part was funny

the best way to look at every madhab is i am right but i could be wrong and you and wrong but you could be right

alhamdulillah a beneficial and eye opening talk

@58:21 The book mentioned is 'Durra al-Bahiyya' - This is translated in Urdu with the title ' Fiqh al-Hadith' in two volumes (around 1570+ pages); published in Pakistan by Nomani Kutubkhana...I can provide the soft copies if anyone is interested...It is the time to unite now...

Brothers of ZamZamAcademy I wanted to request if you've got Turkish translation to the similar topic lecture as this is a Strong movement that we've seen targeting our Turkish brothers who unfortunately don't have a similar answers or defense to the questions...

thank you sheikh ❤️❤️🇲🇾🇲🇾❤️❤️

Beautiful sheikh with sunna face always smiling like Prophet aleihi salaam

Salam Irony of mainstream Muslims is not to analyze different schools of thoughts but to be a Muslim first means maintaining Taqwa under Quran guidance

Can i buy this book i am living in Finland, can you sent me this book o

May Allah grant everyone to jannah

Shaikh Sultan al-Eid in Riyadh mentioned that be aware as Imam Abu Haneefah RH is like a door and gate to attack the rest and entire of the Fiqh as a whole, if he is attacked then it will open the door to attack the other 3 Madhab Imams then after that the rest of the classical scholars.

Muslims Following different groups doesn't bother me as long as they get along with one another & not committing shirk by calling up on the dead saints for help instead of Allah.

I don’t know any salafi brother read a hadith or verse and interpret it himself. When it comes to fiqh and understanding of fiqh and how to apply it in our daily lives, we all follow certain scholars. This is a misrepresentation of salafiya to claim that the salafis without adequate knowledge just interpret religious texts on themselves.

Scholars said if Imam Syafie lived after 60, his madzhab will dominates the world.

No Imam or Shaykh ever blindly follwed a Madhab. Not even the Sahabah. Not even Sufiyan at Tawri, Ibn Uwayna, Abu Hanifa, Shafi, Malik, Ahmad, Ibn Maeen, Ibn Mubarak, Sooyouti, Barbahari. Bukhari, Muslim, Thirmidhi and so on never blindly followed a madhab...they did ittiba...As for authenticity of isnad then thats for the Muhadditoon. All imams said follow the hadeeth dont follow opinions blindly. Unless theres no evidence, so follow the opinion one is comfortable with. As long as hadeeth is saheeh, we are to follow. Unless there is a conflict in it's authentication amongst the Muhadditoon. Yes, We need madhab, we need to study them, but hadeeth is our priority. Opinions that have no evidence are baseless .

And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided.

How do I contact him with family matters, what is the email address

after wasting 20 years with barelwi and deobandis I embraced salafia alhamdulillah

JazakAllah Mufti, we Appreciate your amazing and logical responses to Ghair muqallideen. May Allah guide us in straight path.

This channel is soo beautiful. Mashallah

Masha'Allah what a fruitful sitting from both Mufti Abdul Rahman and the Hanbali Shaykh Jazak'Allah .

Another big Problem we Salafis have is that we prefer and push the judgements on many Hadeeth of Shaikh al-Albaani above the classical Hadeeth scholars like Imam Hafiz ibn Hajr al-Asqalaani, Zayla'ee, Qatloobah, al-Iraaqi, ibn Abdul-Barr, al-Bayhaqi, Imam an-Nawawi, ........ so if these scholars say Saheeh or Hasan we prefer Shaikh al-Albaani who might say Daeef instead, common practice this. Not to forget they were Huffaaz with the chains of many hadeeth books, hence they were termed as Haafiz. Shaikh al-Albaani was a researcher on Hadeeth, not a great Haafiz like we had before, they combined their massive Hifz and research together. We Salafis even differ on many issues of Bidah like using the Tasbeeh beads, Fowzaan and Uthaimeen say's its ok, al-Albaani and ibn Baaz say it's Bidah.

i like the accent of the gentleman at 54:15. very clear, well spoken english

Spoke to a salafi brother just yesterday and he said he does not follow a madhab at all. I simply said to him, either you are qualified to derive rulings yourself and effectively make your own madhab or you go to someone to ask questions and therefore you are following their madhab.

This is a very good talk about salafis

‎السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ •Brothers and sisters this brothers spoke in a respectful manner linguistically but in reality they were misleading the way how they presented Salafiyah. •The Salafi scholars are not against following a Madhhab but they are against blindly and fanatically following a Madhhab even after the truth has became clear to you. •The end goal of the muslim should be to come to the sunnah not to come to the Madhhab. The madhhab is only a tool we can use to come to the truth. •Practically the Salafi scholars say that for a layman is permissible to follow a Madhhab but not obligatory, following a Madhhab is the best way to learn in the beginning the rulings of fiqh, but we should not be fanatical about the Madhhab and stick to it even after we see that the truth is somewhere else. •Salafi scholars did a hard work to unite the Muslims in the correct Aqeedah and to come back to Tawheed. This brothers spoke all the time about fiqh issues as if that is the only thing that salafi scholars have called Muslims to come back to quran and sunnah. The most important thing is to come back to correct Aqeedah which they didn’t even mention one time. •There is so many mistakes and flaws they mention that is to long to list them here but everyone should try and check for them self the points they mention and see if everything is how they presented it. . •The madhhab of Abu Hanifah (may Allah have mercy on him) is the most widespread madhhab among the Muslims, and perhaps one of the reasons for that is that the Ottoman caliphs followed this madhhab and they ruled the Muslim lands for more than six centuries. That does not mean that the madhhab of Abu Hanifah is the most sound madhhab or that every ijtihad in it is correct, rather like other madhhabs, it contains some things that are correct and some that are incorrect. What the believer must do is to follow the truth and what is correct, regardless of who says it.” •The salafi scholars are not against laymen following a madhhab but more against scholars being blind to their madhhab and fanatically following it even though the other madhhab has stronger proof. •Shaykh ‘Abd al-Kareemal-Khudayr There is nothing wrong with learning fiqh according to one of the four madhhabs, on condition that one follows the daleel (evidence) if it becomes apparent that the madhhab says something contrary to the daleel on a given matter, because obedience to Allaah and His Messenger comes before obedience to anyone else. It is also essential to have good manners towards other schools of thought and not to develop sectarian attitudes in opposing them. He should make the truth his aim and respect the opinions and efforts (ijtihaad) of the scholars. He should make discussing matters with them in a polite manner his method of reaching the truth, and he should advise people in a polite way if he thinks that they are mistaken. It is wrong for a person who is able to learn to refuse to do so on the grounds that only the scholars are able to understand the daleel. We do not say to one who is unable to engage in ijtihaad that he has to strive to derive rulings from the texts when he does not have the ability to do that and does not understand the principles; otherwise chaos would reign. But we do say that if you have some knowledge and understanding, you should at least know what the proof and daleel of your imaam (whom you are following) is, so that you can see the connection with the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and you can follow with some measure of insight and not be merely a bind follower. •May Allah guide us all to the correct practice of islam according to the understanding of the Righteous predecessors.

Rasulullah PBUH already said, hold thight and bite the Sunnah and Quran. Never let go. And you will not disguided.

JazakAllah khair for this . Very well explained Shaykh , mashAllah

Shaykh Al Albani stated; Therefore, it is not possible for any Muslim to independently understand the Book and the Sunnah. Rather one must seek aid in understanding them by returning to the understanding of the noble Companions, who took their understanding from the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam; via his statements, his actions and his tacit approvals. Thus, along with calling to the Book and the Sunnah, it is absolutely essential to attach to this the understanding and the practice of the Salafus-Saalih (the Pious Predecessors: the first three generations of Muslims whose excellence has been testified to in the above hadeeth); acting upon the preceding verses and hadeeth, which order clinging to the path of the Believers, which has been explained to be the path upon which the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his Companions and those who followed them in beliefs and actions, were upon. Taken from al-Asaalah magazine (11/84-87) : Al Albani said: Thus, the day the Muslims return to understanding their religion as the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam understood it; and then act upon this purified Islaam in the correct manner, in all aspects of life, then that will be the day that the Muslims will rejoice at the help of Allaah and His victory. Statement of Shaykh Al Albani in Al Asaalah Magazine istiqaamah.net/the-foundation-of-the-islamic-awakening/

I gather this Shaykh came across a Salafi who is either new, ignorant or extreme. Just to correct Anti Salafis..Salafi dawah is a manhaj built upon principles from the Qur'an and ahadeeth as understood by the Salad as Salih in all issues..They give importance to adhering to the correct Aqeedah, methodology, understanding...they advocate following evidence. Following the Ulamah, madhab based on evidence and not taqleed. We all have intellect, reason. Generally we all can read and understand...if not so, then no doubt we will be doing taqleed and not ittiba.

To understand a madhab, you have to study it. If you think a madhab are just statements of Imams e.g. the Hanafi madhab is 'what Imam Abu Hanifa said' then this isn't what a madhab is. Please go study under a known scholar from that madhab. Every single person I've come across who doesn't follow a madhab, always says you shouldn't follow a madhab, you should follow Quran and Sunnah, or this is the corret ruling or what you're following is incorrect ruling. but when pressed further can't explain what a madhab is and what the methodology of each madhab is, examples of rulings from the madhab and then analysing and critiquing both the evidence and the methodology. It shows me 2 things 1) They make statements without studying 2) Those who taught them also dont know. I personally cannot say their ruling they are following is correct or incorrect. If you are going to go around imposing fiqh rulings on others and speaking on behalf of Allah and His Messenger then please have the knowledge to back it up. If you can't then how can you expect me to listen to you and how can I justify to Allah why I Iistened to you. PS. I'm from the UK, here there are 2 groups of Salafis, I'm mainly referring to one particular group of them whose followers act like this. Also if you want to understand a particular group, go spend some time with them, observe and listen their most well known scholars and try to understand their point of view over a period of time on different topics, this should give a general view of them. It would be unfair of me to judge 'salafis' based on what a 'sufi', 'deobandi' , 'barelvi' said. In the same way it would be unfair of me to judge others solely based on what 'salafis' say. If you want to stick to your 'group' only that's fine but don't impose this on others. A salafi Scholar taught me one of the most important lessons of my life. Intention prior to attending a class or listening to scholar. Your intention should be of purely one of learning and understanding. Your intent should not be 'I'll use this to debate others, this gives me another point to argue on this issue. Let me catch some mistakes, let me find something to refute him on. It's quite clear in the comment section some comments have been made without listening to what was said.

Madhab is a consistent system that you have to take it in entirety, because everything depends on each other, you can't pick up whatever you want as long it suits you, the closest analogy of Madhab is a law of a country, you can't take some laws and discard the rest, or create a combination from each country, the result is a system of laws that err with contradictions and discord. Madhab in Islam isn't about follow your opinion, but it follows a methodology that derived from Quran, Hadith, Consensus, and Analogical reasoning according to the jurisprudence principles of this Madhab. My suggest is to read a book about the history of the Islamic jurisprudence, and you will understand the reason behind their existence. The modern non-madhab is a state-manufactured by Suadi Arabia, and right now their funds is drying up, means that this non-madhab is fading. The four major madhab of Islam aren't manufactured by any state, but they originated by the efforts of independent Muslims scholars.

In which country SHeikh is delivering the talk? Thank you

Jewel of scholarship in laymen language

Just from the shaykhs speaking style one can hear his intelligence

In Central Asia official state Hanafi religious departments are on their mission from the opposite direction, forcing people out of mosques for rasing hands, they can stop prayer half way for Ameen outloud, even sometimes call police to fine worshipers. Hanafi school has been here for ages and absorbed all traditions

Actually we have another 25 years of salafis talking about AtHaRi aqidah 🥴

He's a deobandi who studied in Darul Uloom Bury. He takes knowledge from the likes of Ashraf ‘Ali Thanawi and Ilyas Kandhlawi.

Using the term a "salafi" today, ore labeling people with that term, it is totally wrong and pretty problematic!!! The salafis war the best generation in our history, and best exemlpe for us as the ummah, for following their fotstaps!! Of course that we as a ahlu sunnah wal jamaah, we are by difoullt foloweres of our salafs and khalefs, but all those nolidges and informations, comes through the legal schools of low (mathhabs). Than this lecture explained by shaykh Ambdurahmam it is very very beneficial for layman people, who are the victims ore could be potential victims of some so called sudo "salafis" ore Saudi (medkhalis), who thay have phd on creating fitnah !!! I have great respekt for sheikh Adburahaman Yusuf Mangera, despite some desagreaments about some irelevant issues! Anyway sheikh dr.Akram Nadwi and sheikh Dr.Abdurahman, without a doubt are one of the most prominent, respected and nolidgable schoollars in UK, like Dr.sheikh Yaseer Qadhy and Dr.sheikh Hamza Yusuf in USA, and like many other prominent shuyukhs in dhe world. May Allah protect all the ummah from all fitnas, and united our hearts upon the truth.

Additionally I oppose the understanding that Hanbali Fiqh is hard to access: 1. There are MANY students in the UK who graduated from Qaseem, Madeenah and Riyaadh. Also those who graduated from online programs from the likes of Shaikh Quaimi, Aamir Bhajhat and Mutlaq Al Jaasir. 2. Many of the main texts are translated now. Daleel Ut Talib, Akhsar Mukhtasaraat, Umdah Ut Taalib, Zaad Ul Mustaqni', Umdah Al Fiqh are all translated. And there is the commentary of Zaad Ul Mustaqni' and also Mulakkhas Al Fiqhi which is based on Zaad Al Mustaqni. 3. No Madhab is easy to access via the texts in and of themselves. They have to be studied under a Shaikh or an Ustaadh who has precision in the said book.

When I click most of these ex salafis channels it has music and inappropriate content lol

The problem is a lack of education in Islamic matters. I wonder how things would have been if we had united on Quranic Arabic as our lingua franca. From there it would have been easy to gain an understanding in Islam as this would be a standard for everyone. From an early age, knowing Fohsa would elevate our status spiritually and in worldly affairs (Quranic Arabic is amazingly logical). We would be a huge step closer to understanding our deen and thus these Satanic attitudes would not be able to touch us.

Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: No one has to blindly follow any particular man in all that he enjoins or forbids or recommends, apart from the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). The Muslims should always refer their questions to the Muslim scholars, following this one sometimes and that one sometimes. If the follower decides to follow the view of an imam with regard to a particular matter which he thinks is better for his religious commitment or is more correct etc, that is permissible according to the majority of Muslim scholars, and neither Abu Haneefah, Maalik, al-Shaafa'i or Ahmad said that this was forbidden. Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 23/382.

I love the title of this video, Alhamdulillah! Sounds interesting.

The irony is,they say they follow the understanding of salaf,and then go and reject madh hab of the salaf? They reject imam abu Hanifa,Maliki,shafi,who were salaf and then they call themselves salafiya!

To leave islam that which is based on the Quran and ahadeeth as understood by the Salaf as-Salih and the Ulamaj based in evidence is maturity, progress? To blind follow imams and Scholars is maturity and progress?

40:40 Assalamu Alaikum, you suggest we read up on this, where do i begin? Still finding my way through all this. Jazakallah Hu Khair

Question: Is it allowed to have bigotry to a mathhab which the people follow in any ruling from the Legislated rulings, even if it goes against the truth? It is allowed to leave it and follow the correct mathhab in some situations? And what is the ruling of holding fast to one mathhab only? Answer: “Following a mathhab from the four well-known mathaahib of Ahlul Sunnah which have remained and are preserved among the Muslims and as well ascribing to it, there is no preventative against it. So it is said: “So and so is Shafi’ee”, “so and so is Hanbali”, “so and so is Hanafi”, “so and so is Maliki”. This nickname has continued to be present from the earlier Scholars, even from the senior Scholars. It is said: “so and so is Hanbali”. For example, it is said that Ibn Taymiyyah al-Hanbali, Ibn Qayyim al-Hanbali, and what resembles that. There is no harm in that. For solely ascribing to a mathhab, there is no preventative against it. However with the condition that he does not blind follow this mathhab by taking all that is in the mathhab, whether it is truth or a mistake. Rather he takes from it what is truth and what he knows is falsehood, it is not allowed to act upon it. If the correct opinion becomes apparent to him, then it is obligatory to take it whether it is in his mathhab he ascribes to or in another mathhab This is because the one who the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah is clarified to, it is not allowed [for him] to leave it off for the statement of another. The role model is the Messenger of Allah. So we take from the mathhab what does not contradict the statement of the Prophet. If it contradicts it, then it is a mistake from a Mujtahid. It is obligatory upon us to leave it and take the Sunnah. We take the stronger opinion that is in accordance to the Sunnah. Despite whatever mathhab it is from the mathaahib of the mujtahideen. As for absolutely taking from an Imam, whether he is mistaken or correct, then this is considered blind following. If he thinks it is obligatory to blind follow a specific individual, then this is apostasy from Islam. Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Whoever says it is obligatory to blind follow a specific person other than the Messenger of Allah, then this person is asked to repent. He repents or else he is killed [by the Muslim ruler] because there is no one who it is obligatory to follow other than Muhammad”. As for the other than him of the mujtahid Imams (may Allah have mercy upon him), then we take from their statements if they agree with the Sunnah. As for if the mujtahid is mistaken in his ijtihad, then it is prohibited for us to take his ijtihad. And Allah knows Best. Question: The principle or the scale by which it is decided whether something is correct from mistake is being in agreeance to the Book and Sunnah? Shaikh: There is no doubt in that” [Majmoo’ al-Fatawa Li Fadilash-Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan (pg. 701-702)] Translated by Faisal Ibn Abdul Qaadir Ibn Hassan

Knowledge as Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim Rahimahullah stated is; 'Knowledge is what Allaah and His Messenger said. (Knowledge is also) what the Companions said, void of any concealment or disguise... Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim also said; Knowledge is: to know the guidance based upon its proofs...blind following is not equal to this in any way'

the problem with the blind followers of madhabs is that they don't accept a hadith if it differs with their madhab. For example, hanafis refuse to raise their hands coming up from rukoo ( رفع اليدين), no matter how many saheeh hadith report this.

Jazakaallah.. we remember that the 4 mazhab they are nakel . ناقل العلم. Not invented ..

Convey message of Islam to all people of the world and to everyone who will come also convey message of Islam to all world leaders..........

The 2nd chap really got to the nitty gritty of it.

Shaykh Isma'il As-Salafi quoted in his book "Hujjiyat Hadith" Imam Ibnul Qayim saying in his "Sawa'iq Al- Mursalah": "Everybody knows that the Ahlul Hadith are the most truthful of all groups as said by Imam Ibn Al-Mubarak: “I found the religion to the Ahlul Hadith, the Kalam to the Mutazilah, the lies to the Rawafid and the tricks (Hyal) with Ahlur-Ray(people of opinion). """ HOW TRUE!!!!!!!

BIG UPDATE!!! I've found some books dealing with all the arguments of Imam ibnul Qayyum and Imam ash-Shawkaani and Shaikh Muqbil and Shaikh al-Albaani on blind following Fiqh Madhabs. They are 27 in total and all answered from different angles in a simple way. I also found some books refuting the book against Imam Abu Hanifah by Shaikh Muqbil. It gets destroyed from so many angles, each page of it. Also found some books that show how the Salafis; 1- Have got major issues in Tawheed Ruboobiyah upside down by going against the best and biggest and earliest Salafi Tafseer by Imam at-Tabari of verses to do with the Mushrikeen of Makkah 2- Major issues in Tawheed Uloohiyyah wrong by going against the scholars of the first 1000 years. all this by Taqleed of Imam Muhammed ibn Abdul-Wahaab and then Taqleed of the ulamaa who made taqleed of him in these issues. 3- Tawheedul As'maa wa Sifaat. They have mixed up the Madhab of ibn Taymiyyah with the Madhab of the Salaf in this. And they have misquoted the Ash'aris too alot. So this is why its safe to say the Modern Day Salafis are a combination of "Wahhaabiyoon, Taymiyyoon, Laa Madh'habiyya/5th mixed up Madhab all over the place, Tak'feeri Khawaarij/Turning some acts of Bidah and Major sins like sajdah to graves as Major Shirk then saying they are Kufaar, Mur'jiah/Not regarding the extreme filthy Oppression of the current Muslim governments as major issues, in fact praising openly the KSA Government for putting in Prison scholars who speak up about that oppression. They believe the Muslims are not good enough and don't deserve to take back al-Quds at present. They believe the Muslim Ummah deserves all the massive oppression from their governments today because they are divided between apparently major sinners or people of bidah or major shirk or major kufr or hizbis or madhab fanatics or because they do the Mawlid of the Prophet SAW or the 15th of Shabaan or Ohh and its haraam in KSA to do any Mawlid of the Prophet SAW but its Halal to do the saudi national day there with their girls taking their full hijabs off to dance on top of the cars in front of all the youth as is well known and was shown to me the videos by other saudis who were upset. You have thousands of Saudis who will be in their 40s and 50s who have never ever done Salaam at the Grave of the Prophet SAW even once in their life, even though they maybe 100 miles away or 200 miles away only. They have lost connection with Prophet SAW, even though its muttwaatir the Prophets are praying in their graves. The Salafi Shaikh s like Uthaimeen and Fowzaan said its OK for Tasbeeh beads but you still judge Muslims as weak or not on the Sunnah if they use them!!! You Judge muslims as not from Ahlus-sunnah if they wear a turban, rather you say "doubt he's on the Sunnah, doubt he's a Salafi"!!!! You have deep arrogance thinking you are the saved sect walking on this earth like the Christian Jehovah Witnesses, so you think ohhh alhmdl Allah guided us, and things like may Allah guide them! and think you need to try and show them they way. You claim Imam Abu Hanifah was asked to repent from Kufr twice!!! Did you not know that claim was when he debated the Khawaarij and they asked him to repent twice like extremist takfeeri fools??? But you blind followed your scholars passing around these misquotes. Shaikh Muqbil RH relied upon weak narrations and chains about Imam Abu Haneefah but we say he was a great scholar of hadeeth and we blindly accept his book on Abu Haneefah???? Us salafis are the most messed us Muslims today, we are supporting the mass oppression of our governments, we call the muslims whom tried to stand up to the governments in the Arab Spring as fools and ignorant and sinners. We are causing in KSA many saudis to become Athiests now but we live in denial. They ask questions about Allah then get told off to shut up because their teachers in class make it haraam to study ilmul kalaam and mantaq which can help answer those issues so easily. Many saudis leave Islaam nowadays because they think Islaam supports mass oppression of their governments!!! Go ask them. You took out of the Usoolul Fiqh book Raw'dhatun Naadhir by Imam ibn Qudaamah that is taught in saudi Islamic Universities, you took out the introduction on MANTIQ as shown by manuscripts and some editions, why play with that book??? How evil!!! You say we have to repeat our prayer behind so-called Brewlvis. You block out or on purpose act like they don't exist of classical explanations and opinions about many issues because it goes against shaikh al-Albaani or ibn Baaz or Uthaimeen. You put al-Albaani and ibn Baaz on the same or close to the level of past classical scholars who memorised books of hadeeth with their chains!!! You ok in the head???? You shy away on purpose from 2 volumes of ibn taymiyyah Majmoo al-fataawa on Sufism, does it hurt he explained Imam Abdul-Qaadir al-Jilaanis book inside part of that???

Salafis were never anti madhab, but anti taqleed of one individual scholar. Salafis follow all 4 madhahib. Our ‘aqeedah is also the same as the ‘aqeedah of the four imaams.

So true.

MashaAllah, JazakaAllahukhayran for this insight. "A 5th Madhab?" Just have a single hypothetical question. If a sahaby was alive today, would the hanafy school coincide with his understanding of fiqh? The vast majority would choose to follow the Madhab of Imam Abu Hanifa may Allah have mercy upon him. The same Madhab that was carried on and altered by his students, may Allah have mercy upon them as well. I know your thinking this is a bold statement that generalizes Hanafys, however the vast majority will ask what is the opinion of Imam Abu Hanifa regarding the authentic hadith of the prophet Muhammad PBUH before asking what was the view of the sahabah. Most of the controversial issues that exist within the Hanafy Madhab actually strand from his students, which you neglected to mention ,not from the Imam himself. Perhaps that's the 5th Madhab you are referring to? "Verily he among you who lives long will see great controversy, so you must keep to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of the Khulafa ar-Rashideen (the rightly guided caliphs), those who guide to the right way. Cling to it stubbornly [literally: with your molar teeth]." at-Tirmidhi

Imam Al-Barbahari said in his famous book "Sharh As-Sunnah" : "And the basis upon which the Jama'ah is built, are the Companions of Muhammad (sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam), may Allah have mercy upon them all. And they are Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah. So whoever does not take from them he has verily gone astray and become an innovator. And every innovation is misguidance, while the misguidance and its people are in the fire." In "Al-Hilyah" (9/239) Ishaq ibn Rähūyah said: "If you asked the ignorant people: 'Who are As-Suwad Al-A'dham?' They would say: "The gathering (or majority) of the people.' And they do not know that the Jama'ah is a scholar adhering to the narration of the Prophet (sall Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and his path. So whoever is with him and follows him, then he is the Jama'ah. And whoever opposes him in this, he leaves the Jama'ah." وَلَا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَاخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ وَأُولَبِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ "And do not be like those who became disunited and disagreed after what came to them of clear evidences. And for those there is a great punishment." (Āl 'Imran 3:105)

Ibn Tayymiyah, quote, the four Schools are upon Haq, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali, please do follow the great Imam from the past and others, it will be very beneficial. I'm sure they also followed Qur'aan and Sunnah.
