Question:
May Allah keep you safe. Did the Shaykh call to something new, or did the Shaykh renew what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions were upon?
Answer:
If the Shaykh had called to something new, it would not have been accepted from him. But he called to what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and those who came after them were upon. So he renewed the religion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) after it had been lost in all the lands, except for whom Allah has mercy. And he had no wealth with him. Rather, as we mentioned, he had nothing with him but his hand fan. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you. Our Shaykh
