He added that some of the allegations raised “may constitute a criminal offence and you should report any such concerns to the police”. ‘Victory for the mujahideen’ And Sheikh al-Albani was asked–“Question: A man whose Usul is that of Ahl Al-Sunnah and he walks upon its Manhaj (i.e. the Manhaj of Ahl Al-Sunnah), and he is known for his defense of it, and his service to it, and sometimes he makes some mistakes in his Manhaj; so is he warned against by name or by making clear his mistakes?” my advice to you is to study — if a person has been spoken about, [my advice] is to study him, and to take the statements of the ones who critique men (Al-Naqidin) and to understand them, and to make sure of their authenticity, so this has been made clear to you then let a person judge out of awareness and conviction, not out of Taqlid of this or that person, nor out of extreme fanaticism for this or that person. And leave individuals so-and-so and so-and-so (i.e. do not let this be your main concern; leave this business aside); take this as a principle and transmit it to those who disagree (mentioned in the question) to understand the reality only and to know the Truth and to take themselves out of the group of those who are extremely biased towards falsehood. And I am not pleased that anyone should be extremely biased towards me ever. If I have made a mistake, then let he who happened upon my mistake tell me: You have made a mistake. May Allah bless you. And do not be extremely biased towards anyone, [neither] this one or that one.” (Khuturat Al-Kathib Wa Aatharahu Al-Sayyi’ah Wa Mawquf Al-Islam Minhu, minute: 56) What? As Sheikh Abdul Muhsin said – This is a clear innovation!But many of these people do not understand even an iota of this because they do not seek beneficial knowledge, rather they have taken it upon themselves to be the gatekeepers of Salafiyyah.

And by Allah there is so much more like this which I have not put here. But look at some of the scholars – look how gentle they tell us to be with one another. Yet today, we get some ignorant fools boycotting one another because they may pray at a different masjid, even though they are both salafi, inshaa’Allah. If you like Abu Khadeejah then you are salafi, if you don’t then you are a Hizbee or an innovator?! The Sheikh replied: Not everyone’s statements in this issue are accepted, if it comes from someone like Shaikh Ibn Baaz or like Shaikh Ibn ’Uthaimeen then it is possible that his statement is relied on, as for anyone and everyone, then such statements are not taken from them. (Baab maa Jaa’a fi Miqdaar Diyyatidh-Dhimmi min Sharh Sunan Abi Dawuud)When you try to monopolise the dawah of salafiyyah. When you are the only “salafis” and everyone else “has been spoken about” or is a “hizbee”. When everyone else is an “unclear” salafi except those who agree with you. There have been three or four articles about me accusing me of being a “hizbee”– i.e. that I call to something other than the correct path. Even to the point where our brothers in Africa are affected and they come to me for clarification – am I a “hizbee”?

This newspaper has obtained eight sermons from figures at mosques across the country, including in London, Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester, all of which are linked to registered charities receiving taxpayers’ money. Abu Ibraaheem: Akhi refrain from speaking without proof, for indeed it is a great sin. Allaah (The Most High) said:

And this is not antisemitic. This is part of our tradition. We simply relay the hadith, and we say that the prophets of Allah told us that when there is a war going on. There's a war going on. They have drones that say to them, 'Oh so and so... There is a Muslim there, press your button and destroy it.' So, we are simply turning it around and telling them what our tradition will be at that time. Abu Ibraheem (Husnayn) recommends Abu Suhaib Bassam- a student and staunch supporter of the Murji Mubtadi, Ali Al-Halabi. When this Abu Suhaib entered the city of Manchester, he proceeded for Dawah with the followers of Al-Halabi Al-Murji Al-Mubtadi, Al-Maghraawi At-Takfeeri Al-Mubtadi and and Al-Maribi Al-Ikhwaani al-Mubtadi at Masjid As-Sunnah [Cheethamhill]. Abu Ibraheem advised predominantly Asian Muslim youth on Ladypool Road in Birmingham on Eid night to stop taking drugs, drinking alcohol, engaging in extramarital relationships, committing fraud, and instead pray and practice Islam.

Other examples seen by this newspaper include a preacher at Cheadle Mosque in Manchester, another charity, praying for the victory of the “mujahideen” in the Palestinian territories, while another sermon hosted by in a council library in Redbridge, north-east London, demanded “victory for the believers”. But there will come a time, Muslims, there will come a time... And we relate the hadith of the prophets of Allah, [saying] that the Muslims and the Jews they will fight. And there is coming a time where there will be fighting. And He told us that the inanimate objects speak on those things. The inanimate object will speak.And due to this, it has been reported concerning the one who wishes to be like the scholar who teaches the people good, that he will get a reward similar to that of (that Scholar). And the one who wishes to be like the rich person who spends his wealth in the path of Allah, (then) he will receive a reward similar to that of (that rich person) in accordance to his intention. We ask Allaah to distance you from the company of those who defend and shelter Mubtadi’ah and grant you tawfeeq to find the balanced path and its people. Aameen.

This is something we hear, usually from the youth but not exclusively so, when talking about others. What is a “Hizbee”? Someone who has partisanship to, or calls towards something other than, the book of Allah, the Sunnah of His messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) and the way of the righteous Salaf. So perhaps he only promotes a certain masjid, a certain speaker or organisation or even a certain group of scholars. And he was asked – “Virtuous Sheikh — may Allah grant you success — there is a phenomenon among the young ones and it is the testing of people with individuals, so if you agree with the one testing you are from Ahl Al-Sunnah, and if you oppose him, then you are an innovator. So what is your advice concerning this” These people whose ancestors were slaughtered by Pharaoh and his people. These people whose ancestors, their sons were killed, and their daughters were left alive. They have forgotten where they have come from, and they are committing atrocities worse than Pharoah. Pharoah killed the boys and he let the women live. These people, they don't distinguish between the boys or the girls. You have you inanimate drones that will speak to you, and say to you 'There's a Muslim there.' Doesn't matter that it is a hospital, that there were dead people, there were injured people, and old people. You know what we're going to do? Press a button and bomb it and there it goes.Academics compiled a dossier of sermons at British mosques, which are being reported to the police, and shared it with The Telegraph earlier this week. Right. Scholars came to this masjid, scholars of the sunnah who are recognised by other scholars. They taught the ahadeeth of the messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam). My own teacher was teaching. I promoted THIS conference, and as a result I am a hizbee because I promote a conference which is held at a masjid which had the books of Qutb in its library?
