The Muslim's Position on Slandering the Books of the Imams of Tawhid
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Your Excellency the Shaykh, we hear and see in many media outlets the slandering of the books and treatises of the Imams of tawhid (the oneness of Allah), foremost among them being Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him). Indeed, we see a fierce campaign in various forums to attach accusations such as takfir (declaring someone a disbeliever) and others to this call. And those who bear the brunt of this campaign are people who are counted among the call and knowledge. What is the Muslim's position regarding this?
Answer:
This is not strange; this is not strange. The sick person hates the medicine, there is no doubt, the sick person hates the medicine, he must be forced to take it. So these are sick, and the book of tawhid and others like it is medicine and a cure that contradicts their desires and tastes. So it is not a sign that they say what they say about the book of tawhid or others, because they are sick, there is a sickness in their hearts, so they do not accept the cure except with difficulty. And we do not forget that they said about the Qur'an, they said it is sorcery, and they said it is the myths of the ancients. They said it is the speech of humans and not the speech of Allah. They said about the Noble Qur'an, and they said about the Messenger that he is a liar, that he is a sorcerer, that he is a poet. We are not surprised that the people of falsehood meet the truth with such things. This is not strange, but the truth, praise be to Allah, is not affected by these statements or by their people. Rather, the harm of that returns to them, to the ones who say it, and to... Yes.
