Are the Muslim Brothers the people of truth and reality on earth today, with a discussion of the Shaykh's answer to a questioner about Sayyid Qutb?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : O Shaykh!
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Do you believe that the Muslim Brothers are the people of truth and reality on earth today?
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you, it is as if you do not know what is between us and the Muslim Brothers?
The questioner : No, no, no, I do not mean you. I mean that people claim to be Salafis and deceive you, so you testify to their Salafiyyah, but their reality is this: that the Muslim Brothers are the true followers of the Prophets.
The Shaykh : But I ask you, Doctor, are all the Muslim Brothers on one creed?
The questioner: No.
The Shaykh : So it is not permissible, may Allah bless you, to make this generalization about them that I heard you make just now.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : We know the Muslim Brothers as a call that does not align with the Salafis, but there are individuals among them who, in themselves, are truly Salafis, but their methodology is not Salafi.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Is that not so?
The questioner : What prevented me from visiting was a number of considerations, including illness; the illness is the lightest of them, making it possible for me to visit you.
The Shaykh : We ask Allah (Mighty and Majestic) to keep you safe and to heal you soon, and that we may be granted the opportunity to see you.
The questioner : By Allah, O Shaykh, I hope for that.
The Shaykh : And that we benefit from meeting and discussing, because the blessing of knowledge is study, as you know.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner : Now, on a tape, meaning they conducted an interview with you, which is being published now in the Kingdom, and through it the youth are misled and the errors of Sayyid Qutb are defended. He himself, when I discuss with him, says Sayyid Qutb has acts of disbelief and errors, but when I go, he defends him. Then he traveled on this trip, which he brought to you, the purpose of which was to defend the falsehood and acts of disbelief of Sayyid Qutb, which he admits to.
The Shaykh : Who is Adnan?
The questioner : Adnan, I debated Adnan twice about Sayyid Qutb, and he says he has acts of disbelief and errors, did you see? But he does not say he is an innovator, okay. Then when I go, he defends him, telling them Sayyid Qutb is a Salafi, the main point.
The Shaykh : Do you have a tape with this phrase?
The questioner : Then he visited you.
The Shaykh : Hello, do you have a tape with this phrase?
The questioner : He says Sayyid Qutb has acts of disbelief and errors.
The Shaykh : No, no, you are saying that Adnan says about Sayyid Qutb that he is a Salafi.
The questioner : No... it is said, it is reported to me from him that he says he is a Salafi and that his methodology is Salafi.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, you know, and the defect of news is only in its narrators.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So you, and I am only reminding you, you stand by the tape, but when it is said it is reported from him, much and much has been reported from him, and it has been reported from me, and perhaps you heard the fitnah they stirred up here.
The questioner : Yes, correct.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : This may be from that, or it may be true, but why does he make the trip to you and take this statement from you, then publish it in defense of Sayyid Qutb and insult to Rabi' and distortion of his image? If he were a Salafi, why would he do this?!
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, you built this on what you heard, and we agreed that "the defect of news is only in its narrators."
The questioner : The recorded tape, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Did I understand what is in the tape?
The questioner : The tape, may Allah bless you, is more against you, meaning from... in the form of a fallacy, and you responded to him, and you said you do not know this about Sayyid Qutb in anything. I am now reading to you a chapter so you can see that what you answered this Adnan with must be reconsidered.
The Shaykh : I say, may Allah bless you, let me hear what the question was and then what the answer was, if this is recorded on a tape with you.
The questioner : Yes, the tape is now recorded and transcribed with me, the transcription.
The Shaykh: All right, go ahead.
The questioner : Here, he read to you this chapter: "This naive image of the whole does not exhaust the images of shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah."
The Shaykh : Whose words are these? Hello, whose words are these?
The questioner : "Other than Allah."
The Shaykh : O Doctor.
The questioner : "At this naive image, it prevents us from seeing the other images of shirk which have no end."
The Shaykh : O Doctor, Doctor, where are you reading from?
The questioner : I am reading from the book, the text that he read.
The Shaykh : I am saying read from the tape, the question that was directed to me.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is it?
The questioner : This is what I am reading to you now.
Another questioner : He read to you the words of Sayyid.
The questioner : "This image" on the interpretation of a verse from Surat Ibrahim:[Ibrahim 14:35].
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Sayyid Qutb commented on it with these words, saying: "The worship of idols to which Ibrahim asked his Lord to keep him and his sons away does not represent only that naive image that the Arabs practiced in their pre-Islamic age of ignorance, or that was called shirk of idolatry in various forms, embodied in stones or trees or animals or birds or stars or fire or spirits or ghosts. This following image -from his words, I read to you- does not exhaust the images of shirk with Allah, nor does it exhaust all images of worship of idols other than Allah. And stopping at the meaning of shirk at these naive images prevents us from seeing the other images of shirk which have no end, and prevents us from the correct vision of the reality of what befalls humanity in images of shirk and the new jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic age of ignorance), and it is necessary to delve into understanding the nature of shirk and the relationship of idols to it, as it is necessary to delve into the meaning of idols and the embodiment of their abstract, renewed forms from newly invented jahiliyyahs." So you, may Allah reward you with good, said there is nothing in it, then he read to you from my words, and you do not know who the writer is, is that not so?
The Shaykh : Who is the writer, what?
The questioner : You said this is superficial regarding this statement.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : Then you were silent, so may Allah reward you with good, you do not know who the speaker is, nor do you know what the evidence is, meaning for Shaykh Rabi' on his interpretation of the words of Sayyid Qutb, because I interpreted the words of Sayyid Qutb and I have a lot of background about him.
The Shaykh : He is not listening to us.
The questioner : ... for matters that have no connection to shirk in customs and traditions and things he considers idols and considers shirk, and I will read to you the chapter after this, I read to you this chapter so you connect this and that.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, I want to hear from you where is the delusion that I was deluded by?!
The questioner : You said this statement is true.
The Shaykh : You said.
The questioner : This is wrong, keep your words.
The Shaykh : What is this?
The questioner : You said the words of Sayyid Qutb are true, sound words, Al-Albani said: there is no doubt this statement means sound words one hundred percent.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh! I want to hear my voice, may Allah bless you.
The questioner: Huh?
The Shaykh : I want to hear my voice.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : You did not let me hear my voice.
The questioner : I will let you hear your voice, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Okay, what is the benefit, may Allah bless you, and the time as you see, you are behind walls, what is the benefit of not letting me hear my words, and I mentioned that the words of Sayyid Qutb deceived me, so why do you not let me hear my words so I know where my error lies?
The questioner : Yes, you, may Allah bless you, if you read this chapter, the chapter is in the book page one hundred and ten.
The Shaykh : What book?
The questioner : Then read after it.
The Shaykh : What book, O Doctor!!
The questioner : Islamic Lights.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you, I want my voice, I tell you.
The questioner : Hmm.
The Shaykh : I want my voice, which you say I was deluded by the words of Sayyid Qutb.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Where is my voice?
The questioner : Okay, okay, the voice will come to you now!
The Shaykh : You refer me to what you say.
The questioner : The voice will come to you.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner : I say after when can I get you, I will call you a second time.
The Shaykh: Welcome and pleased.
The questioner : I say: when can I get you?
The Shaykh : Whenever you wish, like this time tomorrow, no problem.
The questioner : 'Asr (afternoon prayer) is not possible?
The Shaykh : 'Asr?
The questioner : Yes, and after 'Isha' (night prayer)?
The Shaykh : Regarding 'Asr, we may go out.
The questioner : Okay, after 'Isha' what time?
The Shaykh : After 'Isha' eight o'clock.
The questioner : Eight o'clock, done, until nine or ten?
The Shaykh : Until nine.
The questioner: Good, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : Welcome and welcome.
The questioner : And what carried me to this, if Adnan had not published this statement in the whole Kingdom and outside it, I would have no business with it, but he will publish it, may Allah bless you, against us and in defense of Sayyid Qutb.
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah bless you, first.
The questioner : ... and may Allah reward you with good, and forgive me.
The Shaykh : Welcome.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings and His forgiveness.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Do you believe that the Muslim Brothers are the people of truth and reality on earth today?
The Shaykh : O Shaykh, may Allah guide you, it is as if you do not know what is between us and the Muslim Brothers?
The questioner : No, no, no, I do not mean you. I mean that people claim to be Salafis and deceive you, so you testify to their Salafiyyah, but their reality is this: that the Muslim Brothers are the true followers of the Prophets.
