A series of manhaj benefits from Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī (رحمه الله) regarding the foundations of the Sunnah, scholarly integrity, always seeking evidence and truth, avoiding bigotry, accepting the reports of the trustworthy, and not restricting daʿwah affairs to one or two shaykhs and how to treat Ahl al-Sunnah and Ahl al-Bidʿah.
We praise and thank Allāh (عز وجل) for providing us with scholars of the calibre of Shaykh Rabīʿ bin Hādī, Shaykh Aḥmad al-Najmī, Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī, Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalī (رحمهم الله) and others, all of whom authored tremendous works in methodology and have important statements and clarifications which are concise and full of important principles. With this important contribution, they have provided Ahl al-Sunnah a solid criterion to judge the words and deeds of those who claim attachment to the Salafī methodology. This knowledge of the scholars does not die with them but remains for the ummah and provides them with milestones of truth along the path for all those who come after them.
04 ‘We Give Tazkiyah Based on the Current State of A Man’ and Revocation of a Prior Tazkiyah
“I consider this [prior] tazkiyah to have no value at all because these people deceived us and we thought that they were deserving of that [the tazkiyah].”
03 Exposition of the deceivers who hide behind Salafiyyah
No one ever concealed himself behind the Sunnah and deceived people without Allāh (سبحانه وتعالى) exposing him, uncovering his veil and revealing to the elite and common folk what he used hide and conceal of deception.
02 When praises and commendations for a person are contradicted by his deeds
When disparity arises between praises for an individual and his behaviour, then it is his behaviour that he is judged by and not his praises and commendations.
01 Loyalty to shaykhs is the cause of disunity and division
This is the very partisanship (ḥizbiyyah) they claim to hate and for which they declare (others) as innovators and misguided. However, they themselves have fallen into this fanatical approach towards individuals.
