A Response to Those Who Doubt the Legitimacy of the State and Criticize the Call

Question:
This is a question. Your Eminence the Shaykh, may Allah preserve you. At a time when hearts, souls, and nations are turning to this blessed state and its successful leadership as the greatest legitimate Islamic national unity known in modern history, and as the most upright state in methodology, and the most steadfast in holding to Islam in creed, Shari'ah, and way of life, unfortunately, some of our own people emerge who glorify certain parties that have not offered one-tenth of what this state has offered to Islam. These parties contain bid'ah (religious innovations), shirk (associating partners with Allah), deviations, and hostility toward the creed of tawhid (the oneness of Allah). They claim that this is a methodology that is not known. They claim that this is a methodology that is not known. And this is the Wahhabi approach. I say, Your Eminence the Shaykh, this comes from those who claim affiliation with this country. They raise the point that the caliphate has been missing for ninety-three years, and that the candidate for the restoration of the so-called caliphate is the president of a state. It is not hidden from one who has looked into some of the tweets, nor is it hidden from you what this statement contains of confusion regarding the legitimacy of this state and denial of its virtues. So what is your opinion, may Allah protect you, of the one who utters this statement? And how do we respond to his doubt?

Answer:
My brother, do not be surprised by this. The hypocrites existed in the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). (peace and blessings be upon him). And they said what they said about the Muslims, even about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah mentioned this about them in the Qur'an so that we would be wary of their followers who come after them. So whoever follows their methodology is one of them. We do not listen to him, nor do we pay attention to his words. We are on a sound methodology, and we have no doubt. We are convinced of what we have, as long as it is based on the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
This blessed call, no matter what they say about it, its reality testifies to it. Is there any state in Islam today like this state? Since it was established by the hand of the Shaykh, by the hands of the two Imams Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab and Muhammad ibn Saud, since its establishment, it has been, praise be to Allah, on a clear path and on a sound foundation. It has security and stability, beneficial knowledge, and righteous deeds. It is a source of good, praise be to Allah.
What they call Wahhabi or otherwise, its reality testifies to it. We do not pay attention to the doubts of those who raise doubts, or the tweets of the misguided, as they call them, who cry out against the Muslims. Do not pay attention to these matters. Look at the reality. Do not listen to the words, but look at the reality. Look at the reality; it will show you that this thing is either truth or falsehood. Yes.
