The Jahmiyyah Sect and the Question Concerning Shaykh Muhammad Aaman al-Jaami

The questioner:
Our dear Shaykh, I have heard about the Jahmiyyah sect, which you have warned against. Does this sect still exist today? And who is Shaykh Muhammad al-Jaami?

The Shaykh:
We repeat the question.

The questioner:
He says: I have heard about the Jahmiyyah sect, which you have warned against. Does this sect exist, and who is Shaykh Muhammad al-Jaami?

The Shaykh:
Muhammad al-Jaami is our brother and colleague. He graduated from this blessed university and went to the Islamic University as a teacher at the Islamic University and in the Prophet’s Mosque, calling people to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). We know of nothing but good about him. There is no group called the Jaamiyyah; this is fabrication and defamation. This is what we know about Shaykh Muhammad Aaman al-Jaami (may Allah have mercy on him). Yes, but because he calls to tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and forbids bid'ah (religious innovations) and deviant ideas, they became hostile to him and gave him this title. Yes.
