A discussion of a letter sent to the Shaykh containing a poem that accuses the great Shaykhs of the Salafi Dawah of being foolish.

The Shaykh : The time is up. Praise be to Allah. May Allah reward you with good.
Al-Halabi : Our Shaykh, this writer has published pamphlets...

The Shaykh : Yes, he has published pamphlets... These are a very dangerous group. A package came to me from the Philippines; this letter came to me, and also...
Abu Layla : Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : No, the paper I want to look into is from the group of jihad. This contains a response to Ibn Baz, Al-Albani, and Ibn Uthaymeen. These are circulating in the Philippines, but I have a very dangerous poem. Listen, Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, he says to Fahd:
"May your mother be bereaved of you, O Abu al-Ijram *** O you who defeated the Two Holy Mosques and Islam
No blame on you, O dog, for you are a hypocrite *** Rather, you worship the disbelievers and the darkness" and so on.
"They dressed the dog of the Peninsula in our garment *** Rather, the servant of the Two Holy Mosques and Islam" ...

The questioner : ... My Shaykh?

The Shaykh: Huh?

The questioner : A traitor, my Shaykh?

The Shaykh : Perhaps, by Allah, you hit the mark. Then what does he say?
"Rather, they dressed the dog of the Peninsula in our garment" No, he put this in quotation marks, the story of the servant of the Two Holy Mosques and Islam.
"They pledged allegiance to him for the Imamate in this world *** So that they might rise to positions of illusion
Rather, with fatwas they eat their food *** Woe to him who lives here in haram
No, O Ibn Baz, repent *** For our affliction is great, with the aid of religion for the idols
Your fatwas were for all the Jews *** But they are like poison to Islam
Do you permit the Jews to come to our land *** After they trampled us in Sham?
Do you permit the Christians to come among us *** And we are led between their slaves by a bridle?
Do you permit you to protect the sanctity of our honor *** With fornicatresses? Are we like sheep?
Do you permit America to come here *** With a quarter million of servants?
Is a quarter million of disbelieving, open sinners *** Protecting the sanctity of the Two Holy Mosques between the noble?" and so on.
"And I searched for the Shaykh of Hadith but found *** No voice that disturbs the sleep of the peoples
Rather, he said, 'Do not leave the houses *** For we are in fitnah, how can we have control?
O Shaykh, where is the knowledge in the field of battle *** Rather, where is the saying of the truth and the finality?
Whenever our calamities befall us *** You tell us there is no time for action
Until our enemy came to our homes *** Rather, tearing the honor with the dwarfs
Rather, the worst of all the wilderness came to us *** With the army, the priests, and the rabbis
So I saw the loss of al-Aqsa Mosque *** But your silence with hesitation covered it up
We did not take a lesson from its loss or its burning *** Or defend the enemies, not with words
O Shaykh of Hadith, repent and fight with spears *** With arrows or with a spear or with a sword
And I asked about that jurist in his land *** And his closeness to the field of the slaves
O Ibn Uthaymeen, who told us *** Of knowledge and tawhid and the banners
Do you fast from saying what lights our path *** And live among calamities and sleepers?
Where is the creed and the statement and your knowledge *** Or is it knowledge with execution?
O Ibn Uthaymeen, wake up before destruction *** For today is the day of the truthful and the bold
Today we hope you will be a monotheist *** In word and deed, firm in your steps
And roaring like a lion, protecting our religion *** And removing the armies of disbelief and the rulers
And our preacher al-Qattan, despite his roar *** Fled on the day of battle from Saddam" Look at this injustice!
Abu Layla : Our Shaykh, the source of the poetry or the words that you heard, which you heard us recite.

The Shaykh : Someone sent this to me from America or from the Philippines, to look at what those who call Muslims to jihad and fighting the rulers of Muslims are saying. They were previously called the Group of Emigration and Takfir, but now they call themselves the Call to Jihad. They call Muslims to jihad against the rulers of Muslims and to fight them. This is due to their poor understanding of Islam and their ignorance of the conditions of the Muslims. Did they prepare themselves to be able to fight these rulers, if it were permissible to fight them all, had the Muslims been able to fight them?
Abu Layla : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh.

The Shaykh : And you as well.
