The Shaykh’s discussion with the students about some ignorant people who claim to be scholars, and remarks on the current scientific reality of Muslims.

The student : They launch a fierce campaign against Shaykh Adnan, cutting him off.

The Shaykh : I have heard news about him from you.
The student : Did you hear this from them?
Another student: What is the problem with this Shaykh Adnan?

The Shaykh : His love of showing off.
The student : Is his methodology Salafi?

The Shaykh : I mean, given the amount of knowledge he has, many of the young people today are very shallow.
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : He reminds us of an old Arabic proverb: "The sparrows in our land are becoming eagles." "The sparrows in our land are becoming eagles." This applies to most people today.
The student : The sparrows are the small birds.

The Shaykh : Yes, yes.
The student : The small birds.

The Shaykh : ... an eagle.
The student : In the eyes of people.

The Shaykh : Ah, so we seek help from Allah.
The student : And he always claims to be one of the students of Shaykh Rabee.

The Shaykh : Allah is the Helper.
The student : I don’t know, he always says he is one of the students of Shaykh Rabee, and I am certain that this is not from Shaykh Rabee, because I know Shaykh Rabee’s methodology, and I sat with him for four years.

The Shaykh : Yes.
The student : So declaring others innovators in this manner is not part of his methodology.

The Shaykh : No, no, it is not in his methodology, nor in his knowledge.
The student : Yes, but this storm that occurred between them and Shaykh Salman led to people like these.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : The sparrows, these small birds, grow up.

The Shaykh : Like this.
The student : And they have acquired a following of new young people.

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : No, by Allah, he did not realize that the Islam of beards and short clothes and the government actually exploited a situation like this.

The Shaykh : How could she not?
The student : Even the Muslim Brotherhood said, "These are the Salafis fighting each other over a problem like..."

The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : The Muslim Brotherhood exploited it to strike at Salafism, and so on.

The Shaykh : The government as well.
The student : The government rejoices at problems like these.

The Shaykh : That is it.
The student : Yes, it is as if I see now that the Salafi Muslim Brotherhood are more occupied with each other than with the da'wah (calling others to Islam). Yes.

The Shaykh : It is this.
