Response to Those Who Accuse the Salafis of Murji'ah and Supporting Tyrants
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student : Our Shaykh, the problem is that these people accuse us of supporting the tyrants and the disbelieving, sinful rulers. That is, either we declare them disbelievers and follow their methodology in word and deed, or that we are supporters, conspirators, and cowards.
The Shaykh : I saw the one who called us the Murji'ah of this age.
The student : I have heard of him, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest...
The student : That is, we fabricate excuses for the rulers, even though their disbelief is apparent and they have been fighting Islam and blocking the way of Allah for decades. Yet we interpret their actions more leniently than we do for Muslims and callers to Allah, and we hear, my Shaykh, from these... I mean, these attacks and criticisms.
The Shaykh :[Fussilat 41:43] This is our consolation: that the Prophets were told more than what is said about us. So who are we?
The Shaykh : I saw the one who called us the Murji'ah of this age.
The student : I have heard of him, my Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Allah is the Greatest...
The student : That is, we fabricate excuses for the rulers, even though their disbelief is apparent and they have been fighting Islam and blocking the way of Allah for decades.

The Shaykh :
Nothing is said to you, [O Muhammad], except what was already said to the messengers before you
مَا يُقَالُ لَكَ إِلَّا مَا قَدْ قِيلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ
