The Innovation of Shaykh Ahmad

Fatwa No. ( 3919 ):
Q: We constantly receive messages from unknown places, and they say many things, such as: that the end of the world is near and that we must give such and such charity, and whether those charities alone will save us from the punishment of the Hereafter or delay the Hour? And in these days specifically, we received a message from the Republic of Senegal written in French, without a seal or indication of the issuing authority, in which it is said that the Imam of the Holy City , whose name is Shaykh Ahmad , saw in a dream
after reciting the Noble Qur'an on Friday morning in the Noble Prophet's Mosque, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to him: "Six thousand people have died between the last Friday and this one, and none of them entered Paradise due to the rich not giving zakah and charity to those entitled to it, and due to women not obeying their husbands, and children not obeying their guardians; also because Muslims do not think of Allah, and do not perform Hajj. He also told him that the Hour is near, the door of forgiveness has been closed, and the world is ending. Therefore, we must fast on Mondays for a month and recite the Qur'an, because the Qur'an will also be raised to the sky. He said the sign of this is the appearance of a star that differs completely from the other stars, and the sun will also stand in the middle of the sky as a sign of this. He said: 'From this report, convey it to your brothers, and if you convey it, Allah will provide for you from where you do not expect. If you are in debt, Allah will pay off your debts, and you will be with the Prophet in Paradise on the Day of Resurrection, for everyone who conveys this report should sleep happy or wish for death if they are truthful. And is Paradise attained without effort, toil, or earning through obedience to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)? They also said that everyone who hears this report and does not convey it will live poor and in debt, and die with the hypocrites, resembling the people of the Fire. We believed and had faith in Allah that our entry into Paradise and our sustenance in this world are from the grace and mercy of Allah the Exalted, and that He punishes us in this world and the Hereafter with His justice, not by our beauty, wealth, or children, but by the fear that makes us obey Allah and read
the Qur'an and understand the clear verses, making us hope for His mercy in this world and the Hereafter:[Ali 'Imran 3:200] , truthful is Allah the Mighty. And His saying: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] , truthful is Allah the Mighty. And such things make those who want to enter this religion doubt, in addition to our actions toward them that contradict the human and Islamic spirit; because now we see Muslims in Islamic countries but we do not see Islam, and in non-Islamic countries we see Islam but we do not see Muslims.
A: There is no Imam of the Holy City of Madinah called Shaykh Ahmad , but rather there is a governorate and a complete administrative government apparatus that handles administrative affairs, and the current Imam of the Prophet's Mosque is the honorable Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Saleh , and we do not know of an Imam of the Prophet's Mosque for many years called Shaykh Ahmad . The story written to you about this and distributed in bulletins is a fabricated, invented lie, and His Eminence Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Abdullah ibn Baz wrote a lengthy article in which he clarified that it is a fabricated, invented lie.
And success is from Allah. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

O you who have believed, persevere and endure and remain stationed and fear Allah that you may be successful.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَThis day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلامَ دِينًاA: There is no Imam of the Holy City of Madinah called Shaykh Ahmad , but rather there is a governorate and a complete administrative government apparatus that handles administrative affairs, and the current Imam of the Prophet's Mosque is the honorable Shaykh Abdul Aziz ibn Saleh , and we do not know of an Imam of the Prophet's Mosque for many years called Shaykh Ahmad .
