i DO NOT THINK SHEIKH SHURAIM WROTE THIS!!! :raging:
May Allah bless you my brother , but why do u think sheikh shuraim didnt write that??
Giving advise to our muslim brothers and sisters is one of the most important part of our deen, and also accepting good advise and correcting oneself when corrected is an important part of the deen.
Dont u knw the famous and beautiful hadeeth
الدين النصيحة
and the beatiful ayah from surah Az zummar
الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون احسنه
My brother human beings , n people of knowledge are HUMAN after all , and no one is safe from mistakes no one is masoom , people make mistakes , some peoples mistakes ONLY HARM themselfes , like our day to day sins n al , but others Mistakes can harm MILLIONS or even billions , and specially if that person is related to the religion n deen , or a caller or a sheikh or a scholar or student of knowledge , when they make mistakes they are the ugliest of mistakes coz they are harming the deen and also harimg the millions that listen to them.
So it is obligatory ion the people of knowledge who come across such mistakes to correct them , by giving advise , by correcting and if necessary by refuting and rebuting and waring aginst them.
My brother the proper way for us muslims is to get attched to the quran n sunnah and the Senior people of knowledge, to NOT ATTACH THE HAQQ to the people , and not attach out hearst to the peple and humans rather to the haqq , the quran and the sunnah.
Bro the scholars in the past and i mean the irst three generatons never stayed quiet about mistakes and made the truth clear from the false , Its coz of their efforst that the sunnah , the tawheed , the aqeedah , the manhaj has reached us and it is the responsibilty of the people of knowledge untill the day of judgment to keep protecting the aqeedah and sunnah and tawheed and manhaj and the deen in general from those who come and distort it.
So there is notthing wrong in correcting some one , or advising him or even refutuing him or warning others from him , coz this in reality is a MERCY FOR HIM , a mercy on the one who has fallen in the mistake coz who ever will follow him in his maistake he will take a part of their sin as well.
So we should as muslims be just , and honest and not start taking sides soon as a fithnah starts , we see it all day everyday people taking sides and protecting and standing up fpor their sheikhs , their callers and duaat , their teachers and students of knowledge , rather we should stand up for the haqq and be hoest and just and try to seek the truth.
Now as far as this Qaseeedah goes, It is beautiful , Sheikh Shuraim did a god job , he corrected and advised sheikh adil al kalbani in a beautiful way , very sincere and honest way and gave good advise, u kmow why he hAD To do it in such a way , that is correct him publicly , Because sheikh kalbanis mistake was a msitake he did in public it was a fatwa he gave approving singing.
And u should know that our salaf al saalih have done it as well , even in the form of qaseedahs , so we see the ahbaash , the mutazilah , the jahmiyah , the ashariyah all refuted by great scholars of sunnah in forms of poems and qaseedahs.
There is also much more talk about al kalbani , some more srious than this mistake of his , so we ask Allah to guide us and guide him and to forgive us and forgive him and help us all follwo the truth and help us all adhee to the sunnah and right methodology and manhaj.
I leave u with some quotes from great scholars.
Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah- said: "And such as the People of Innovation among the people of the [innovated] sayings that oppose the Book and the Sunnah or the acts of worship opposing the Book and the Sunnah - for exposing their condition and warning the Ummah about them is obligatory by unanimous agreement of the Muslims - ...
...until it was said to Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal: 'Is it more loved to you that a man fasts, prays and peforms tawaaf or that he speaks about the People of Innovation [i.e. exposes them and warns about them]?' He replied: 'When he stands, prays and performs tawaaf that is for himself but when he talks about the People of Innovation then that is for the Muslims and this is more excellent."
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyah said:
"Thus if it [the innovation] is done publicly, then its recompense must be done in public, as well, in accordance with conceivable justice. For this reason, it is not considered backbiting to talk about one who openly publicizes his innovations and wickedness, as has been reported on Al-Hasan Al-Basree and others. This is because when one publicizes that, he justifies himself to be punished by the Muslims. The least of these forms of punishment is that he should be dispraised and dishonored so that the people may avoid and refrain from him and his deviance. And if he is not dispraised and the evil or disobedience or innovation that lies within him is not conveyed (to the public), then the people will be deceived by him. Then it is likely that this will bring some of them to act upon what he believes in. At the same time, it will only cause him to increase in his daringness, evil and disobedience."
And by sheikh muqbil about whom sheikh uthaimeen said ," tell him ( tell muqbil) that i consider him a mujaddid"
Shaikh Muqbil said: "How many people have doctorates in Fiqh and understand nothing, how many have doctorates in Hadeeth and don't understand one Hadeeth, for these certificates give creditation to many people to take certain positions which they do not deserve, and how does the title Dr help you when are are ignorant about the Shariah of Allah?"
