The Shaykh Ali al-Halabi's speech on love that is for the sake of the methodology.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Al-Halabi: That is to say, a wonderful research in all this speech refutes it, meaning from its foundation, may Allah have mercy on him.
The questioner: That the matter is greater than the limit is trivial for everyone; it may be trivial for those sitting here, they may not look at it, but the correct thing that I noticed is that it is widespread among some of the brothers, not the brothers from our side, I mean, some of the brothers.
Another questioner: From the Muslim Brotherhood.
The questioner: Without a doubt, for example, not ... here, so the matter has no limit with them; I just liked it, but this is how I raise it regarding knowledge.
The Shaykh: But you transmitted the issue from a person who has no connection to us; this is the problem. But now we discuss with him and understand with him and draw his attention to the fact that this is...
Al-Halabi: That is to say, our Shaykh, I mean, our brother's question.The Shaykh : Ali and the engineer professor reminded me of something that actually happened; it would be desirable if you would shed light on it.
The Shaykh: Please, my brother, bring it out so we can see.
Al-Halabi: And it is the issue of, for example, seeing a person who used to love the brothers and love...The Shaykh : and the call, and so on. We see it, meaning, a reversal to the exact opposite pole, correct? We say that it isSunan Ibn Majah 3834 but there are causes in it, so we want to point to such causes and how to avoid them so that nothing of it befalls us, seeking refuge in Allah the Exalted. That is to say, this is a practical issue, methodological, our Shaykh, meaning, if Allah wills, there will be good and benefit in it.
The Shaykh: And I say now, and the time has run late for us, if there is something in your mind, benefit us with it, may Allah reward you with good, or at least we cooperate, meaning. Please, Abu al-Harith.
Al-Halabi: And I say, our Shaykh, it is that we...
The Shaykh: We will support you with your brother.
Al-Halabi: My master, may Allah reward you with good, our Shaykh, one of the things we used to hear from our professor repeatedly and again is that the truth is between two extremes: exaggeration and negligence, and the middle is what Allah described this nation as, no extremism and no negligence either.
The Shaykh : Yes, that is correct.
Al-Halabi: So many people, their love and their enthusiasm are emotional, and a love that is not based on knowledge and understanding and comprehension of this methodology. Therefore, such a thing is very weak, as if it is on the brink of a collapsing cliff; anything can displace it and anything can push it, because it is not on a practical methodology. Otherwise, our love for the call and our love for our professor, and so on, love is in reality love for the methodology, not love for the person for his length and width, or for a specific period of limited years, or for a specific place or time. Rather, our love is for this methodology which we believe is the only methodology that has continued to exist throughout all ages, and this alone is sufficient to prove that this methodology is the correct one. Therefore, everything contrary to this methodology leads to such deviation from the straight path. The principle is that love should be through the methodology, and loyalty and disavowal should be for the methodology, not emotional, where anything can raise it and anything can push it. So we ask Allah for guidance for us and for the Muslims.
The Shaykh: May Allah give you health.
