Abu Malik spoke about some of the blessings in Jordan, which is the methodology of purification and education.

The questioner : The starting point of the da'wah, of course, there is no doubt that these centuries that have passed over us, many centuries, there is no doubt that they had the merit, after Allah, of filling all the Islamic and Arab regions. And this, of course, is the benefit that was gained from the Peninsula, varying according to the students of knowledge who were upon it, in its universities and schools. And before the universities and schools, those who went there, though few in number, were carrying something of the ideas and the da'wah. Here in Jordan, the true launch of the idea, the idea of the da'wah, was in the eighties, in the middle, I can say: in the year 1384, meaning: in the early eighties, Hijri.
So, of course, the truth is that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) granted success and assistance, and the brothers gathered around the da'wah, and the merit is for Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and also for the repeated visits that our Shaykh began, and the first visit of his, as I recall, was in the year 1985 to Jordan here, and then the visits continuedThe Shaykh- may Allah reward him with good - and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, there was much good and merit in them. Of course, I was amazed, meaning: I was truly reassuring you and all the brothers when we started speaking about the matter of the da'wah here in this country, we were truly strangers. The strangeness, you felt it completely, you knew you were a stranger, you realized this from yourself. As for the other people, of course, they would accuse you of the worst thing a person outside of Islam could be accused of. Now, if you enter the mosques, do you know how the mosques were? But if you had lived the period we lived in this country before the mosques became in the state you see, how the sunnahs started to spread in them? How the abandoned prayers also started to be performed? The dhikr and the religious innovations that were in them now started to fade and disappear, and so much more, even the adhan, in some mosques, of course, if not for this religious innovation that I heard today, it would have been possible for the mosques to transform with their adhan into the practical application of the Sunnah. So I praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that it had a very great effect.
For example, one of the things: the first prayer place that was started here was the prayer place that is here nearby, in "al-Rusayfah"
Salim: ..
Abu Malik: Yes, so whenThe Shaykh- may Allah reward him with good - said: Let me revive the Sunnah of the 'Eid in the prayer place. Did this Sunnah become a religious innovation now? How did it become one? The prayer places of the Muslims in this country multiplied such that between every prayer place and another does not exceed half a kilometer, and perhaps not worse than this also. How did it become a religious innovation? Because it was not intended to revive the Sunnah, but it was intended, as our Shaykh issued a fatwa, that even the Islamic groups in this country wanted to oppose the Salafi da'wah in this country by saying: Let us also make a prayer place. So what did they do? They would go out from inside the mosque to the courtyard of the mosque or to the street near the mosque. This is the prayer place. The prayer places multiplied in a strange and very amazing way, and the strangest thing about this is that some of them made this, or some of them revived this Sunnah, they did not say: By Allah, we preceded them to this Sunnah and we are the ones who revived it - no - they attributed it to themselves. And likewise, judge by this much and much.
So we praise Allah (Mighty and Majestic) that we revived sunnahs and this Sunnah spread, despite the small number in this country, but the effect of the da'wah spread by the grace of Allah, it spread very greatly, and its spread perhaps you do not feel it because of the large number of brothers belonging to this methodology, but you find the effect of the da'wah in the practical reality of the da'wah or its impact on the reality of people.
Also, what is truly joyful is that in the Islamic bookstores, you will not find a book more popular than the Salafi books of this methodology. The booksThe Shaykh : For example, let it not speak about the booksThe Shaykh : , the booksThe Shaykh : are present in all parts of the world and people compete for them, but the other books also of the specific, clear methodology, people turned to them. Now look, for example, "al-Majmu'" by al-Nawawi, Ibn Qudamah, Ibn Hazm, the books of the sunnahs and athar, this is the youth's turning to them is strange and amazing. Who established this methodology in turning to the book? In truth, our brothers are the ones who established this methodology and turned to it, so the youth now, especially the educated youth, turn to them. And if not for the resistance they find, of course, from some of the youth or from those who call themselves Islamic da'wah workers in the other groups, truly you would have found the Salafi da'wah in every place, truly the dominant and controlling one.
So we, of course, do not understand asThe Shaykh- may Allah reward him with good - indicated, that the resistance is also much and very much and stubborn. And they know that if the Salafi methodology is left between it and the people, it will eliminate all these da'wahs finally. They now, with all the means of resistance they find, they cannot stop or repel this effect that imposed itself on the reality of the country here, and praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, this is the matter of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) who granted success to it, and we ask Allah to always grant success. And do not forget that if you speak about the issues of tawhid, we can call it from the category of extra speech, meaning: the matters with them do not need you to speak about the issue of tawhid. Meaning: we, truly, speak about the principles in the da'wah. We here, when you speak about one issue, for example, let us speak, for example, about tawassul, you need long introductions to convince people of this issue. The issue of tawassul, I speak about tawassul there, it does not need much introduction and lengthening of the speech.

Another questioner: And it may harm. It opens the door

The questioner: Yes, this is it. As for us, the need is truly different, and the khutbah that you heard yesterday, and there were two khutbahs before it also, I think.

The questioner: One khutbah
Abu Malik: Two khutbahs

The Shaykh: Before it, yes.

The questioner: We spoke in them about this issue. These issues, truly, the people, I yesterday, our Shaykh, (Glorified and Exalted is He)! After the prayer, and when a young man came to me, it seems he is a person of status or wealthy or a man from the notables of the people, he greeted me and said: I am seeing you for the first time. I always pray below, I have been praying at your place for a long time. And I was happy, yes, and I was happy today that I saw you. He said: And I am pleased with your khutbah today and all your khutbahs, I am pleased in them. This is his speech, meaning.
Abu Layla: I forced him to pronounce the divorce above
Abu Malik: But tell me: this khutbah that you spoke today about the issue of graves, is it in all graves, meaning general? I said to him: General, of course. He said: Okay, my brother, we see some graveyards, we see some mosques, for example, like Sayyidna al-Husayn in Egypt, like Sayyidat Zaynab and I don't know what, I said to him: All of these fall within the scope of this khutbah and do not go out of it ever. He said: May Allah bless you, and may Allah reward you with good.
And of course, his appearance does not suggest that he is committed to a true commitment, because he shaves the beard and the mustache, and so on, and a man in trousers, meaning.
Al-Halabi: In trousers, Albanian is
Abu Malik: No. Good, you agreed with our Shaykh. So I say: In any case, by the grace of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the brothers come to us with enthusiasm and intensity, and I don't know what, the da'wah is not a da'wah, meaning: they intensify, so I truly sometimes meet them with indifference, meaning: I do not care about their speech, not that I do not care about their speech that I do not want, but I show indifference to this matter because it is lighter for me than where to respond to it with this enthusiasm that they bring.
So I tell them: First and always, the truth is that we must call to the truth; this is an established matter. If Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) knows our sincerity in it, our Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) will support it and support us in this truth. But if He knows that we are not sincere in it, then you must first come and learn the correct knowledge, purify yourselves, and train yourselves upon the methodology of the Book and the Sunnah, and only then blame others. But you talk about the Asha'irah, the Sufis, the other paths, and the schools of jurisprudence.
Yesterday, two brothers came to me, excited and upset, saying, "O Malik, hold on tight." I said to them, "What is it?" They said, "My brother, the Mu'tazilah have filled the country." So the Mu'tazilah have returned, meaning: this person who came to us, yes, Amin, he is, of course, even...The Shaykh : Al-Ghazali, as far as I have heard, in response to Al-Ghazali, he said to him: "I am a Mu'tazili." He said to him: "Say it, by the Prophet, say it, a Mu'tazili, what Allah willed, where is he now?"
Al-Halabi : No, he is a believer in that creed.
Abu Malik: Al-Ghazali is actually mocking him, because there is no Mu'tazili on the face of the earth. There is nothing called a Mu'tazili now, there is none. I mean: I truly, when I heard him and he said to me: "I am a Mu'tazili." I mean, I said: this is a crazy thing, this is certainly, because...

The Shaykh : There is no Mu'tazili by name, but there are Mu'tazilah in creed.

The questioner : It is well known, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And the one who mocks the Mu'tazili by name is truly a Mu'tazili.

The questioner : Correct, I say: as a proper name, it does not exist.

The Shaykh : This is correct.

The questioner : This person, I mean, does not even know himself that he is a Mu'tazili, and therefore he denied this statement, so rest assured, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : Abdullah.
Abu Malik: Abu Abdullah, if Allah wills, we are well and you are well, and our Lord (Glorified and Exalted is He) bestows upon us the ability to bear the burden that we, if Allah wills, will bear.
