Dealing with the people of Innovations – Part 2 Shaykh Ubayd ibn `Abdillaah al-Jaabiree

Reference: Al Hadul-Faasil/2nd Question

Category: Methodology

Ahsan Allaahu ilaykum, how do we deal with the people of innovations and desires in matters of Deen and Dunya?

This is the first thing I advise you with, secondly I advise you, our children in Al Maghrib al ‘Arabee and our children from the Muslims, those of you whom this talk has reached to, I advise you to turn to the gaining of Shar’ee knowledge. And what is Shar’ee knowledge? It is the understanding of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah according to the way of the pious predecessors.

I also advice you with [reading] the books of ‘Aqeedah that the Imaams of the Salaf have written such as: As Sunnah by ‘Abdullaah ibn al Imaam Ahmad, As Sunnah by Ibn abee ‘Aasim, As Sunnah by Al Khalaal, Al Tawheed and Al Eemaan by Ibnu Mandah, At Tawheed by Ibnu khuzaaymah, Al Ibaanah Al Kubraa by Ibnu Battah Al ‘Ukbary, Sharh Usoul as Sunnah by Al La-laka-ee, and the library of Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyah, and the library of his student Shaykhul Islaam Ibnul Qayyim, and the library of Shaykhul Islaam, the third Mujadid in this peninsula according to my knowledge; Muhammad ibn ‘Abdul Wahaab, may Allaah have mercy upon him, and the likes of these books which conveyed to us the principals as well as the branches of this religion in a reliable and dependable way.

The books of Hadeeth as well: The six books (of Hadeeth/ Al kutub as Sitah) which are well known, as well as Musnad Al Imaam Ahmad, Musnad Ad Darimee, Muwata Al Imaam Maalik, Sunan Ad Dar-Qutnee, Mustadrak Al Haakim, Saheeh Ibn Habaan, and the likes of these books from the books of Hadeeth which the Imaams of this religion have accepted.

From the books of Tafseer: Tafseer Ibn Jareer, Tafseer Ibn Katheer, that which is available from Tafseer Ibn abee Haatim, Tafseer Al Baghawee, Tafseer Al Qurtubee which is good in regards to language and Fiqh, however, in regards to ‘Aqeedah, then it has become clear to me that he has some Ta-weelaat that one must be careful from and avoid, and also Tafseer As Sa’dee, and he is an ‘Alaamah who lived in recent times, may Allaah have mercy upon him.

From the books of Fiqh: Those which are summarized [such as]: ‘Umdatul Fiqh by Ibnu Qudaamah, Manhaj As Salikeen by As Sa’dee, Manaar As Sabeel by Ibn Tuyaan. And those which are not summarized [such as]: Al Mughnee by Ibn Qudaamah, Al Majmoo’ by An Nawawee, Al Mudawanah by Sahnoon in the Madhab of Al Imaam Maalik may Allaah have mercy upon all of them, and there are a lot of other books other than these.

I also warn you against the books of Fikr (opinions/ideologies), and at the head of what i warn against are the books of Al Ghazaalee the Egyptian, the books of Al Qaradawee, Yusuf ibn ‘Abdullaah who lives in Qatar, the books of Sayyid Qutub, especially Ma’aalim Fee At Tareeq, for in it he advises [the people] to make Takfeer, and also his Tafseer because it is filled with misguidance, all his books are misguidance. The books of Al Nadawee, and Al Mawdoodee, and all the books of the Ikhwaan, for indeed they deviate the Muslim from the Sunnah to innovations if one was to study from them and take what is in them as his religion that he worships Allaah with.

Thirdly it is upon you to attach yourselves to the people of knowledge, those that you and others know to be steadfast upon the Sunnah, and support and defend it and its people. Those of them who are alive, attach yourselves to them by studying with them, and if you aren’t able to, then read from their books and listen to their tapes. As for those of them who have passed away, them take from what they have left behind from the beneficial books that they had written while they were upon the Sunnah in shaa- Allaah.
