Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : A final question, Shaykh, quickly.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
The questioner : We need your advice regarding our brothers who established a council there called the Scientific Council for the Salafi Da'wah. There is a president and a vice president, and it is similar to... we are not able to fulfill what is required, Shaykh. The president has an opinion he insists on, and he has taken... what do you advise?
The Shaykh : The president of what?
The questioner : They established this council there and chose a president, a vice president, and administrators, and the story began here.
The Shaykh : I mean, are they Salafis?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Fine, and what does the president do? What is the opinion he adopts?
The student : Salafi.
The Shaykh : What is his work in the presidency? Did they issue a decision forbidding intoxicants on airplanes?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : I said, and then this is a summer cloud that will soon clear, by the estimation of Allah.
The student : On paper.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The student : On paper.
The Shaykh : On paper.
The student : ... the Americans will come out.
The Shaykh : Just as... he announced that women must wear the Shari'ah jilbab. By the way, I remembered a new decision; have you heard of it? He said he must rule by the Shari'ah, and so on.
The student : Shaykh, not now, but about a year ago, when the Lockerbie airplane issue first arose, and America wanted to take revenge on him, he said, whatever happens to me, I will be forced to declare... I will be forced.
The Shaykh : I will be forced.
The student : To declare the Islamic Caliphate, declaring the second Fatimid state.
The Shaykh : Like that, I mean.
The questioner : Like that, yes, in words.
The Shaykh: Allahu Akbar.
The questioner : Yes, that is his phrase.
The Shaykh : The bottom line is that there is nothing there but sweetened words that neither fatten nor satisfy hunger, and do not change the reality. We continue to increase in faith and certainty that reform will not come except from the base, not from above, and Allah is the Helper.
The questioner : Our Shaykh... may Allah bless you for your methodology...
The Shaykh : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh: Go ahead.
