 فشرف بالشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي السبيل وأشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له واشهد أن محمد العبد هو رسوله صلى الله عليه وعليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين له بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى اليوم سوف نبدأ سرية بحاجة مع المسلمين مع المسلمين بسبب القرآن and the authentic sunnah نحن لا تنسى إن شاء الله تعالى يجب أن نذهب إلى هذا الموضوع as a political analysis where we talk about the do's and the don'ts and the things that they said or what not that's not where we're going to be and we don't perfect that field we're not good at it but we will speak about إن شاء الله تعالى is from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad from Muhammad من خلال قرآنية وحديث حديث قرآنية الثلاثة is the doubts that have been pushed forward the doubts that have been pushed forward in this regard has become overwhelming and it has taken the mind of many and many have now thought that it's permissible and it's legislated and it's allowed to speak against the Muslim leaders and as though those Muslim leaders do not have the rights that a Muslim has which is not to be backbited and not to be slandered these doubts that are brought forward revolve around four points if you look at the doubts that are going through social media and if you look at those doubts that people generally bring to you and the discussions that you would have in the message is four the first one is the first one is the intent of wanting to drop to drop the legitimacy of the leaders' pledge of allegiance the pledge of allegiance that was given to the leader its legitimacy questioning it trying to make that drop and not be there or he's legitimate not even a leader why because it's not Quraish so the Prophet said Quraish are the ones you have to be in and things like that so who said he's even a leader that's the first one that is pushed the third, the second sorry doubt that's all of the doubts are more than this but they revolve around these four one of these four the second one is the second one is whatever can make the general mass obey the leader it should be taken the third one is and the third one is what is wanted is to label him as a disbeliever the third subhan that's pushed is labeling him as a disbeliever he's not even a Muslim he's a kafir and the fourth one is وتارة يراد به تجويز الخروج عليه the fourth one is permitting it and allowing it for people to uprise against him for people to go against the leader rebel against the leader those four are what the shubu had revolve around and the outcome that it brings about I just want to say as a disclaimer that those people who speak against the Muslim leaders if they did it without attributing it to the religion and without making it as a religious ruling it would have been less of a problem for them than them lying about the deen of Allah سبحانه وتعالى because many of these people are politicians they are what they are politicians and what they want is to reach leadership if they went about it without attributing it to the religion it would have been less of a problem for them than to make it look like that they're reaching this leadership through giving victory to the religion and bringing about خير and good for the people ولذلك يوب السخدانيه رحمة الله يقول على جهدنا وقصاء الشيطان اسمها يخادعون الله these people deceive Allah كأننا يخادعون الصبيان the way that they fool and they trick the children لو أتوا الأمر if only they came to the matem they did the haram على وجهه in the way that they wanted to do it without attributing it to the religion of Allah سيكون لن يكون لديه أكثر من المشاكل لهم. The reason why Allah سبحانه و تعالى destroyed the people of Sabah was because, what did they say? They used Heela. They didn't come with the Haram and just say, you know what? Saturday Allah said don't do it, we will do it and they didn't just do it like that. They try to justify it legislation wise they try to justify it. They try to say what we're doing is permissible and it's allowed and that is much worse than doing the Haram itself. And this is what many fall into in regards to this matter. The way that I insha'Allah and hope to discuss these issues is first of all, I am going to really summarize my speech and there was much more that I could be brought there was much more other discussions that could have been opened but insha'Allah و تعالى summarization is my focus point. I am going to summarize I am going to bring the doubt and I am going to bring the response for it insha'Allah و تعالى from the Quran and the Sunnah and the statements of the Ulama. The second thing I am going to do is I am going to give a lot of importance to the evidences the Quran and the Sunnah. The third insha'Allah و تعالى is I am going to bring the matter back to the fundamental principles أهل السنة والجماعة I unanimously agree upon. Fourth is نقلو أن أهل العلم في كل ما أقرر everything which I establish and I bring about I am going to bring the statement of the Ulama who preceded me in our understanding who said it and quoted I quoted in Arabic first and then I insha'Allah translated I also want to say as a second disclaimer is this محاضرة إنما هو ردن it is a refutation to the شبه the doubts that I brought forward فليس من هدفه the aim of this محاضرة this lecture is not الكلامو and أصحابي how to speak about the people who are propagating this ideology because what matters to us is the concepts those who hold this this ideology may die his name might be Muhammad the one who is holding this corrupted belief and tomorrow he dies and then Abdullah he takes over so there is no point stipulating the matter to an individual the individual can go what really matters is that the principles are understood and the foundation is understood and I also seek refuge in Allah وَمَعَادَ اللَّهِ I really seek refuge in Allah and I have brought this lecture to your attention and I am giving this lecture for what reason to defend the leaders because I have some bond with them or that I have some worldly gain from it I seek refuge in Allah in that likes the reason why I felt like this topic needs to be dealt with is for two reasons number one protecting and defending the principles of the people of Sunnah and Jana'a from the false arguments and the false principles that are introduced by those who are going against these fundamental principles of the people of Sunnah and Jana'a so the first reason I am doing it is not to defend the leaders it is not to defend a particular country it is أصول أهل سنة and Jana'a the principles of the people of Sunnah and Jana'a that which they documented and they stated in their books of اعتقاد that is being questioned and it is being put on it is being put in a question the second reason is to defend and help and support the people whose brains are being undermined أقولوا المسلمين which is being poured inside it من الفكرضالي the misguided views in all of its forms the way insha Allah I am going to refute these doubts is in two ways the first one is I am going to insha Allah put down four principles four principles these four principles if you memorize them and if you understand them they will be four principles that any doubt that is brought until the day of judgment these four principles alone can answer those doubts that will be brought the ones that already been brought and the ones that will be brought these four principles will help you be able to respond to them the second way I hope to go into is I am going to bring about 20 doubts 20 common doubts that are put forward regarding the leaders each doubt we are going to bring it we are going to mention the argument that they bring forward and insha Allah we will respond to it so the first one is I am going to place the first way I am going to respond to all of these doubts is by placing fundamental principles that are taken from the Kitab and the Sunnah and that which the pious predecessors all agreed upon and then the second way I am going to respond to these doubts is I am going to bring each doubt and I am going to respond to it and as you know doubts don't tend to finish people will carry on bringing more and if Allah SWT is in our life and allows us to live more we will always open that session for more doubts to be responded before I finish my introduction I want to say to the brothers and sisters generally speaking and I want to also say to those who might oppose the points I am going to bring and disagree with them I want to say to them be fearful of Allah SWT and come with piety and that's what matters and leave of having being fanatic towards opinions of individuals that you like icons that you placed up there push that aside what really matters is following the evidences Allah commanded you as a slave to follow the evidences He said to you follow that which has come to you from your Lord and do not follow besides Allah the speeches of individuals also I request from every person who might oppose me to listen to this lecture but to listen to it listen to it with an open heart put and get rid of your preconceived notion what you already believe in listen attentively hear the points that I have to bring forward it may be possible it could be possible that you might come across answers to some of your doubts that you have or points that you didn't know of and evidences that you've never heard of and I ask Allah SWT He forgives those who have taken a wrong stance for verily the one who repents Allah will accept his repentance from him Allah says in the Quran say to them Muhammad my slaves who have transgressed and exceeded their limits لا تقنطوا من رحمة الله don't give up on Allah's mercy إن الله يغفل الدروبة جميعا verily Allah SWT is one who forgives all of the sins إنهو الله is غفور الرحيم one who is very forgiving to sins and one who is very merciful the one who is lecturing and believes that a group of people who have gone against the أصطول of أهل السنة والجماعة I shouldn't also forgive up on the mercy of Allah that Allah might gave them to the truth and that أن تائبا من الدنبي كما لا دنب له and that the one who repents from a sin is like he's never done it before and I ask Allah SWT and Yanfa'a that he benefits everybody who listens and who comes across my lecture that he benefits from it and I ask him SWT that he places every good statement I say on my scale the day of judgment إنهو ولي وذالك والقادر عليه الله is the one who is able to do that and that he forgives me for any shortcomings and any mistakes or faults that I might come with أرد الأول I'm at تقصيل الأول the first تقصيل on all of the shuwhats the four fundamental principles that we are going to bring forward these four principles I advise every single student of knowledge male or female to try to memorize them إن شاء الله انتعالى with its evidences إن شاء الله انتعالى because these أصول ينطلق ومنها أهل السنة والجماعة is the fundamental principles أهل السنة والجماعة they pick up is where they base their arguments on when it comes to dealing with the Muslim leaders these أصول are taken from the books of أهل السنة والجماعة and it's also taken from the Quran and the sunnah the first أصل the first أصل إن شاء الله انتعالى is المسلم that the believer مأمور he's commanded as a principle you memorize it المسلم that the Muslim is commanded that he verifies ما يبلوه من الأخبار he verifies any news that reaches him it lays that because every claim is not which is spread على حكام المسلمين regarding the Muslim leaders is not necessarily true فيجب التعاكود من صحة الخبر so it is obligatory to verify this information that if it's true ولذلك when many of the things that are pushed forward the claims that are made against the Muslim leaders if sometimes you go out of your way and you actually verify you will find it is what ما هي إلا دعاة it's only mere claims مجرده عن البراهيم and evidences are not brought forward and as you all know my beloved brother my beloved brothers and sisters اللهم سبحانه وتعالى سيزن القرآن يا أيها الذين آملوا those of you who believe إن جاءكم فاسقوا بنبئن فتتبتوا نسى نظى قراءة those of you who believe if it comes to you the statement and the speech of a فاسق فتبينوا is one قراءة نظى قراءة is فتتبتوا verify double check so you do not afflict a group of people due to your ignorance of a situation you unjustly wronged them based on a claim that was brought to you and then you regret what you've done to these people because of the claim that you believe them شيخه الإسلامي بلوتيميا said regarding this verse in his مجموعة الفتاة the 19th volume page 63 شيخه الإسلامي بلوتيميا he said يُسمعوا خبروا الفاسق the statement of the فاسق is listen to وَيُتَبَيَّنُوا وَيُتَتَبَّتَ but it's verified we listen to it and then we go and we verify it فلا يجزيموا بالصدق we do not we do not say what you're saying is right ولا كذبه and we also don't say what you're saying is a lie ويبينه unless we have a clear evidence for it كما قال تعالى as Allah said إن جاءكم فاسقوا بنبائن فتبينوا he wrote the ayah ابن تيميا انتاء كلامي the statement is finished he also said in another place in his مجموعة الفتاة the 15th volume page 308 he says وعيلضا and also فإنه على لدالك بخوف الندم الله he stipulated a reason in the verse of why we need to verify the statement of a fasq الله gave us a reason why the reason is because بخوف الندم because you're going to finally regret the consequences of taking the statement of that fasq وندموا إنما يحصولوا ابن تيميا says that the regret it occurs على عقوبة البري when you actually punish an innocent person من الدمبي because of a sin كما في سنة أبي داودة as Abu Dawud narrated in his sunnah the scholars weaken his hadith but they agreed on its meaning and they made it a قعيدة فقية so we don't attribute it to the prophet and ابن تيميا didn't attribute it to the prophet as well he just said كما في سنة أبي داود as it's in sunnahd إدراء الحدودة بشوهات repel the capital punishments with doubts repel it with doubts فإن الإمامة يخطع في العافة because a leader if you do a mistake in forgiving خيرون is better من أن يخطع than to do a mistake in punishing فإذا دار الأمر if a matter revolves around and you have to pick one from the other بين أن يخطع في عقبة if a matter revolves around and it goes around about two issues you either have to do a mistake in punishing an innocent person and يخطع في عاقب بريئا أو يخطع فيعفوا عن مدرم or you do a mistake and you forgive a sinner or wrong do a criminal ابن تيميا says كان هذا الخطأ خير الخطائيني the best or better of the two is the latter one which is to do a mistake and forgiving a person is better than doing a mistake and punishing a person and this is a قاعدة which دعو لما من منشن and that's why the statement of the fast the wrong doer the criminal you don't say is right as sheikh al-Islam ibn Taymi said فلا يجزي مبصدقه you can't say what you said is right وَلَا بِخَبِبِي and you can't say you're lying إلا بِبيينة unless there is a what an evidence let's apply this on the waka that we're living on today let's apply it on the reality somebody goes on YouTube and they see a leader a muslim leader drinking alcohol where did you get this from is this clear evidence for you to accuse a person over what you've seen on YouTube or for instance to use a news outlet which you know opposes a particular country that has an agenda against this country you then take the news from this and you take it on when the people of that news and the news itself are fastaking you take their statement and you tweet it or you even WhatsApp it to a group of people and you say this country are fastaking because news so and so said about them this this this this this this goes against what sheikh al-Islam ibn Taymi is saying where's your reference oh that news outlet okay that news outlet are fastaking okay they're for suck you're now taking their statement regarding a muslim we don't believe in it no do we disbelieve it we need verification we need evidence this application is very important العلم عبد الرحمن ناصر السعدي in his tabseer on this ayah he said وهذا أيضا من أداب التي على أولي الألباب تأدوم بها وستعمالها he said this is from the etiquettes that are required from the أولي الألباب the smart people it's the smart people that come with this characteristic brothers and sisters it's the smart people who would be found in them these characteristics التبيعون والتتبوت verification التأدوم بها they're the ones who manage themselves and adorn themselves with these beautiful etiquettes and they use these etiquettes وهوها and it is I know إذا أخبارهم فاسقون that if a fast comes to the أولي الألباب the wise ones okay فاسقون بخبن and if it comes to them with their news أن يتتبطوا they verify في خباره the information that he's bringing them فلا يأخذوه they don't take it مجردًا just because he told them فإن في ذلك خضرًا كبيرًا because in that there's a great danger الله أكبر ووقوعًا في الإثنين and you're going to fall into a very severe scene regarding this ففيه دليل power pay attention now عبد الحماناسي he says there's an evidence in this آية three things there's evidence in this آية خبروا الصادق المقبول the truthful one his statement is accepted and the information he brings us the reliable person his information that he brings us is accepted that's one we take from the آية that's the مفهوم المحالفة the reverse understanding the second thing that we take from the آية is وخبروا الكادب the liar his خبر is what is rejected the liar who lies his what his خبر the information he brings to us we what we rejected the third thing that we take from the آية is وخبروا الفاسق متوقف فيه and the فاسق the criminal the sinner his what whatever news he brings to us we do توقف we withhold from it we don't believe it nor do we disbelieve in it انتهى كلامه the statement of عبد الحماناسي is over فائدة مهمة a very important benefit that we need to take now which is that the آية يا يلدين آمنوا إنجاءكم فاسقوا بنبئين فتبينوا the آية what did it speak about the آية spoke about في خبر الفاسق the information that comes to us from a what a wrong to her what also takes the same ruling as a فاسق is خبروا المجول the news of the ambiguous individual a person who we don't know their status we don't know if they're a liar we don't know if they're truthful we don't know nothing about this person they're unknown to us ambiguous are you with me and there's evidence to show that this خبر المجهول the unknown one falls under the خبر الفاسق and the خبر الفاسق what was the ruling regarding it متواقفوا في we withhold from it right the مجهول so some random what's up person sends you information you don't know who this person is you give them the same ruling as the فاسق which is what متواقفوا في you withhold from it the evidence to show that this also the خبر المجهول takes the same ruling as the خبر الفاسق is two angles number one is the مجهول the person who is what who is unknown who is ambiguous you don't know who they are it is possible he might be a فاسق so the safe side would be for you to take is to withhold from the information that he brings to you and that you go towards verification you verify just the same way we withhold from the خبر of the فاسق and we verify the second evidence the second point that shows you that the خبر المجهول takes the same ruling as the خبر الفاسق is that Allah gave a reason why we need to verify the information that comes to us from the فاسق which was what الله نصيب بالجهالة that we do not afflict a people due to ignorance and to see who قوما بجهالة that we don't afflict a people regarding a news that came to us but we're ignorant of it and صابة بالجهالة is also present in the خبر المجهول because the person who is bringing it to you is a person you don't you don't know you're ignorant of them so due to that reason it becomes clear بجلاء clearly it is that if a مجهول خبر المجهول comes to you it falls أندا تتبوت وتبيون I need to verify brother and I need to know who it is so if a person comes up and says to Akin so and so he's being warned against who warned against him الله I want to share what's his name or he told me not to tell anyone she okay what's his description or I can't also give you his description and then it's a خبر المجهول if a scholar comes if somebody comes up to a scholar and says شخصون so and so and the sheikh doesn't know who the person is he needs to say to him what you brought me I have to do what تبيون تتبوت so anybody who you don't know it's not that they're a fast no you're not saying it's a fast you're just saying you take the same dealing of a person who's fast because I don't know your integrity and I don't know what you are so I need to verify to mean that was the first أصل صحيح that was the first foundation are we all on the same page regarding the first foundation we're now going to move swiftly onto the second foundation that we need to agree on which is أجمع أهل السنة أهل السنة والجماع are unanimously agree upon على أنه لا يجروزه that it is not permissible الهروج it is not permissible to go against and uprise على ولي الأمر أي مسلم ليدا إلا في حالة مواقعة للكفر المواح only when he falls into clear cut كفر أهل السنة والجماع unanimously agree that it is not permissible to go against a Muslim leader until he comes with disbelief and today if you look at many things that are being said about the Muslim leader for example he brought a rapper or an artist over to his country it's a sin he opened now and he allowed cinemas to be opened in the country it's a sin are we all together it's a what all of these are معاسي they are sins we're not undermining that the fact that these are scary very worrying sin لا يشكوا فيه مسلم a Muslim does not argue that for example he has opened banks that permit ربا or he has opened a brothel or he opened a for instance a alcohol shop all of these are معاسي they are sins لا تصلوا بفعيل he had a doer that leader that is doing it it has not reached him and it does not make him a captain so you see a lot of Muslims say to you oh I went to Saudi Arabia and guess what they now they've got what do you call it banks that have ربا سبحان الله look at these people they are so much we need to go against them and this is exactly what you're doing is you're going against اجماع اهلي سنة والجماع that the leader the only time that you're allowed to go against him is when he comes with كفر and all of that which you just mentioned to me are major sins they have not reached the level of كفر and the way that اهلي سنة والجماع believe that should be dealt with the sinah the leader the Muslim leader who is the sinah who is doing sins whether it be minor sins or it be major sins according to اهلي سنة he believe which they took from the Quran and they took from the sunnah is to advise him and they to make دعافه and made a doer for him الله سبحانه وتعالى he guides him and brings him brings him back to his senses and they also believe مع بقاء السمع وطاع that listening and obedience still remains even if he is even if he's committing major sins اهلي سنة والجماع this is اجماع they unanimously agree upon that في كل ما يأمر everything which he commands that he tells his رعية his people to follow and to do they have to listen to him they have to obey him عدع ما امر به من المعاصل except the sins if he tells them that you have to sell alcohol they don't listen to him if he says to them you have to trade ربا in the country they don't listen to him they don't listen to him and they don't take that from him الامام النوه we transmitted that اجماع he's not the only person many can transmitted the اجماع but an Imam النوه he transmitted an اجماع he said رحم الله I'm going to bring two imams who brought the اجماع regarding that you're not allowed you're not allowed to go against it اجماع can sense and is اجماع something we have to follow my beloved brothers and sisters is it from the evidences that we that is abiding for us to adhere to we need to follow اجماع
