During the 3 days at Abu Waleed’s, I went through a bit of a personal crisis, and I think M was going through one too. No words describe the sheer isolation and simplicity of this place. We were at once thrust back a century and living in the present. The absolute lack of materialism, information, and basic utilities was difficult to cope with. It wasn’t so much the existence of it; we in the west are too informed to plead ignorance that such places still exist, but that we were going to be living in it. For a while, I just didn’t understand what I was going to do. There was no television, no shopping malls, no restaurants, no cars or public transport, nowhere for them to take me, no internet, no radio, no washing machines, no ovens, no flushing toilets…and on and on.

The place made me question my lifestyle, how much fitnah and materialism was in it. Was I wrong for the relative extravagance of my life? I thought I lived simply, and yet this place made me seem overindulgent. I was here to seek knowledge and yet I craved the dunya. But to me, it wasn’t materialism; it was just the basic living standard. I wanted to go home and yet I felt that if on the Day of Judgement, Allah asked me why I left when I came to seek His face, how could I answer that I craved material things. Slowly, life in Damaaj is answering my doubts and my questions.

Quote:

You remember me when there was no hot water. I can’t be like that here. This place takes a lot of patience. What sustains a person here is to love it for the reasons it would be beloved to Allah, since it is hard to love it with one’s nafs. There’s no need to live in such basic, sub-standard conditions. There’s a hadith in Bulughul Maraam, where one of the Sahaabah asked the Prophet SAW if it is pride to live in a beautiful home, wear nice clothing, and eat good food. The Prophet SAW replied, no, rather it is pride to think oneself better than others because he has these things. And of course, Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty, and all provision comes from Him. It doesn’t make me a better Muslim because I’m living here; millions of other people live like this, Muslim and non-muslim.

MashaAllah...thank you for sharing with us.

i enjoy it very much

Quote:

Clarifications of what has been fabricated about us by some of the publications and broadcasts

الكاتب: [ أبو مصعب السلفي ]

الإيضاحات لما لفقته علينا بعض الجرائد والإذاعات (بشأن مركز دماج )

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحمد لله رب العالمين، والصلاة والسلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين وبعد:
فقد شاع وذاع بين الناس أن مركز دار الحديث بدماج وطلبة العلم هناك أن ثمة حرب بين الطلاب والرافضة -قاتلهم الله -
وهذا شريط للشيخ يحيى حفظه الله بعنوان الإيضاحات لما لفقته علينا بعض الجرائد والإذاعات.
مظمونه:
أنه لا يوجد حرب بين أهل السنة والرافضة، وغاية ما في الأمر أن اثنين من طلبة العلم صعدوا الجبل الذي يتمركز فيه الرافضة مع أهل البلاد، بدون إذن من الشيخ حفظه الله حيث قال: شطحا وذهبا بدون إذن مني .
فحصل: أن قتل أخ فرنسي -رحمه الله- وجرح آخر فرنسي جزائري -أسأل الله أن يشفية -
والآن لا يوجد شيئ في المركز وهو كالعادة مع أن إخواننا آخذين الاحتياطات اللازمة، لمواجة الرافضة ومن أراد المركز بسوء - أسأل الله أن يدفع عنه وعن سائر بلاد المسلمين كيد الكائدين .
ومن قال أن هناك حرب بين أهل السنة والرافضة فهو كاذب، وقد كفانا الله شرهم بالدولة وفقها الله .

كتبه بيانًا وتطمينا لإخوانه أهل السنة المحبين، وإغاضة للمتربصين والحاقدين أخوكم أبو مصعب السلفي: حسين بن أحمد بن علي الحجوري

Clarifications of what has been fabricated about us by some of the publications and broadcasts (i.e. the situation in Dammaaj)

In the name of Allaah the Rahmaan the Raheem

All praise to Allaah, Lord of all creation, and His salaah and salaam upon the noblest of the prophets and messengers, to proceed:

Rumors have been broadcast amongst the people that the Daar al-Hadeeth center in Dammaaj, the students there, and that there is a war between the students and the raafidhah(shee'ah)-Allah fight them-and this recording by Shaykh Yahyaa al-Hajooree, Allaah preserve him, by the title of "Clarifications of what has been fabricated about us by some of the publications and broadcasts".

Its contents (are):

There is definitely no war between Ahlus-Sunnah and the raafidhah, and all that the matter amounted to was that two students climbed the mountain where the raafidhah were concentrated along with the local people; they did so without the permission of the Shaykh,Allaah preserve him, were he said: "They went off and left without my approval.

Then what happened: the French brother was killed-Allah have mercy upon him- and the other, a French Algerian, was wounded-I ask Allaah for his wellbeing.

"Right now, there is no problem at the center and all is as usual, along with the fact that our brothers are taking the proper precautions in the face of the raafidhah, and all those who desire evil for the center- I ask Allaah defend it (Dammaaj) and the rest of the Muslim lands against the plots of the schemers.

And whoever says that there is a war between the People of the Sunnah and the raafidhah, then he is a liar. Allaah has given us enough protection from them through the (Yemenee) government."

Writing this clearly and certainly to his beloved brothers of Ahlus-Sunnah, and doing so despite those who lurk in ambush and spitefully, your brother, Aboo Mus'ab as-Salafee: Husayn bin Ahmad bin Alee al-Hajooree-administrator of Shaykh Yahyaa's site-Allaah preserve him.

JazaakAllaah khayr..

I was awaiting for an update via The sheikh's site, but it seems nothing's been posted up there.

I don't know whether that's due to them not having no internet connection orr something. But khayr!

Those of you who don't have the Link to Sheikh Yahya's site here it is:

http://www.sh-yahia.net/

'Asaahu an yufeedakum/ I hope it's of benefit to you all.

We came here in a white Toyota pick-up, which is the standard car for travel. Our driver honked too much and listened to songs with corny lyrics. He took us over several side “roads” to avoid checkpoints. They were rocky, steep, bumpy, and very dusty. I felt like my brained was being rocked around in my skull. On the usual paved roads, there were signs saying “alhamdullillah” for downhill and “subhanallah” for uphill. In some places, there were even signs saying “ittaqillah.” In Arabic, of course.

That part's really funny masha Allaah..

MashaAllah! Reading through this thread I want to go more than ever. My dad heard about the fighting, and he changed his mind about me going now. Please make du'a that the fighting near by stops, so it will be easier for a lot of Muslims to go, inshaAllah.

Thought this might be beneficial for all those who are seriously considering going:

Sheikh Yahya al Hajooree was asked to wirte the conditions for studying in Dammaj. He wrote the following:

All praise is for Allah, in great abundance. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammed is His slave and messenger.

For that which proceeds:

I was asked recently by way of our brother Sa'eed bin Hubayshan -the individual responsible for Dammaj's website- he requested from me to write the conditions for studying in Dammaj -may Allah have mercy on the individual who built it (Sh. Muqbil bin Hadee). In response to this request I say, it is befitting for one who desires to study in Dammaj:

1- One must be salafee with good character and manners

2- One must be recommended by a scholar upon the sunnah or by way of a student well known to me. If this is not possible, after one reaches (Dammaj) if I notice from him what was mentioned in the first condition, then he will be accepted

3- I should be informed of the individual upon arrival (name, country, etc), and he will be allowed to study. I may also direct him to what I feel is beneficial with regards to his studies (schedule, classes, books, etc)

4- All children under the age of puberty will be rejected, except if there is someone present in Dammaj to take responsibility of them

These are the only conditions placed by me for an individual to study in Dammaj.

Assalaamu alaykum,

There is a further condition for sisters who wish to study in Dammaj. They must have a mahram to take them up and down from Sana'a, as well as to stay with them in Dammaj. Exceptions can be made, but special application must be made to the Shaykh so that he might advise you on your situation. My sisters were not allowed to come and live with me to study, since they would've had no mahram with them.

Generally, sisters who stay in Dammaj are advised to marry.

There were a few single sisters in Dammaj when i was there who made hijrah there.As far as I knew the sheikh had no problem with it, and didnt push them to marry either. Is that not allowed now also?

umm-sulaim · **Re: Yemen -** 04-18-2007

When last we asked (2 months ago almost) sheikh Yahya allowed some sisters from Ethiopia to come to Damaaj n stay because there was some da'wah money that was sent for sisters in Dammaaj alhamdulillah...wallahu a3lam.
