Explaining what is obligatory for Islamic groups to cooperate with one another in establishing the religion
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The call to the truth is the Salafi call.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Islam and ruling by Islam on earth will not be established except on this foundation. However, all these groups, every single one of them, must cooperate; they must support one another within the bounds of the clear Salafi Islamic circle. Is this clear to you?
The questioner : Yes, Shaykh, it is clear. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : Ah, for example, we are Salafis, and we focus on the creed above all else, and on distinguishing the authentic from the weak in hadith, and distinguishing the Sunnah from religious innovation. But we do not engage, for example, in political matters. Is this clear?
The questioner : Clear, Shaykh. If we take, for instance, some of the Salafis, or rather, the Salafis in general. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : No, my brother, give me your attention.
The questioner : The Salafis complete one another in all the countries.
The Shaykh : Give me your attention.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : No, we say that all Islamic groups must complete one another, after they agree to work according to the methodology of the righteous predecessors, because there must be specializations. For example, if you say that some Salafi groups work in political matters.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : To the extent that these people work in this area, they fall short in other areas. But some of them complete others, as I said. We want the other groups to join us in the call, and for each of them to work in their specialization, and not to oppose one another. The one who works, for example, in the moral aspect, as the presenter mentioned, should not be fought, just as he should not fight us. Rather, he should accept our methodology, but he is not able to do our work, and we are not able to do his work either. The Muslims must be one block, despite their differences in means, but they must agree on the methodology and the creed. This is what I testify to before Allah and call to, and I think the presenter, whose words you heard me mention, is circling around this aspect.
The questioner : Our Shaykh is a noble man, we consider him so, and we do not praise him beyond what is due to Allah. He is one of our Salafi brothers, indeed one of our Shaykhs. May Allah reward him with good.
The Shaykh : You convey my words to him.
The questioner : If Allah wills, may Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : And tell him that I did not hear a single word. So if he admits that he said it, he must retract it.
The questioner : May Allah bless you. All right, Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : Now, regarding judging the reality of the groups, may Allah bless you. The groups, all...
The Shaykh : And he is a specialist in language and in... If they all agree on a single word, they are the ones who can establish the state of knowledge in its entirety. Is this example clear to you?
The questioner : Clear. May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And you, let us suffice with this, because it has taken a long time. And I hope you will contact the man.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And give us the result of the meeting.
The questioner: Yes.
