﷽

We praise Allah ﷻ the one who has subjugated for us this good, and this blessed da'wah, we Ask him ﷻ that he aids us in remembering him and thanking him and perfecting our worship for him.

Verily this da'wah is one of the greatest blessings and favours that Allah ﷻ has bestowed upon us. The da'watus Salafiyyah is a great virtue and a grand blessing. Allah ﷻ has given us success to be guided to this upright path. This is a virtue from Allah. 

This blessed da'wah; da'watus salafiyyah which has become widespread in the yemeni land specifically, and all over the word generally, is a virtue from Allah ﷻ. Especially in this country (Yemen), wherein Shaykh Muqbil ibn haadi al-waadi'ee had revived the salafi d'awah, may Allah have mercy on him.

He cultivated the people and the students of knowledge upon clarity and upon an Islamic cultivation, upon the true da'watus Salafiyyah, upon the book of Allah ﷻ and the sunnah of the prophet ﷺ, upon calling towards tawheed and sunnah, upon being distinct, so may Allah have mercy on him and reward him plentifully. 

This khair (good) which is widespread in this country, all of it is from the virtue of Allah ﷻ, then due to the efforts of this blessed imaam. We Ask Allah ﷻ that he raises his ranks amongst the 'illeeyeen. 

He was tested by the hatred of the enemies of this d'awah, and this is the universal tradition of Allah ﷻ; that anyone who rises up to call to Allah ﷻ upon the path of the prophets then he will be shown hostility and enmity from the hizbees, and from the enemies of this blessed d'awah, for verily this imaam has been shown hostility from many of the hizbees, and from the accossiates of jam'eeyatul hikmah, and jam'eeyatul ihsaan and from the surooriyeen and qutubiyeen, from the associates of alqaa'idah and other than them.

They showed enmity towards this imaam however Allah ﷻ aided his da'wah and he increased him in good, and he was not shown enmity except that he increased in khair everytime by the virtue of Allah ﷻ.

He ﷻ said :

(... ۚ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاءً ۖ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنْفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۚ ...)

Then, as for the foam it passes away as scum upon the banks, while that which is for the good of mankind remains in the earth..

[Surat Ar-Ra'd 17]

Then Allah ﷻ bought about great good through his hands, and when he passed away- may Allah have mercy on him- he passed his chair onto the virtuous Shaykh Yahyaa bin 'alee Al-hajooree- may Allah preserve him.

After he had been given the chair he was envied greatly for this blessing. So after that, the enmity began to come at him in succession from the hizbees, a strange enmity. This enmity repeated upon this blessed da'wah starting with abul Hassan Al-misree, then after him Al-bakree, then Abdurahmaan al-adani. The enmity came one after the other from the hizbees, but Allah ﷻ aided his da'wah and defended this blessed da'wah from the evil.

And from the hizbees who have shown enmity towards this da'wah is Al-bura'ee and the associates of al-ibaanah.

They showed hostility towards this da'wah, we were still in damaaj and they were being hostile towards this blessed da'wah, and they would warn from dammaj and from our virtuous sheikh yahyaa al-hajooree -may Allah preserve him.

And after we left dammaj the hostility continued, and till today they are hostile towards this blessed da'wah, and they worship Allah ﷻ with this hostility.

Al-bura'ee and the associates of Al-ibaanah are hizbees, they are hostile towards this khair, we Ask Allah ﷻ for safety, also let no one should have any hope in this blessed da'wah becoming split, let not the associates of Al-ibaanah have any hope in that, nor any envious one, nor the spiteful - in trying to spilt our da'wah.

Our da'wah is more beloved to us than our wealth and more beloved than our ourselves. Our da'wah is more beloved to us than everything, let not any one hope to spilt this blessed da'wah.

Our da'wah and da'wah of sheikh yahyaa -may Allah preserve him- is one. It is based on the book of Allah ﷻ and the sunnah of the prophet ﷺ, upon the methodology of the salaf of this ummah.

A d'awah which is founded upon purity and cultivation, a d'awah calling towards tawheed and sunnah, a d'awah based upon distinction.

This d'awah is an extention of the d'awah of Sheikh muqbil may Allah ﷻ have mercy on him, and has extended from the d'awah of the imaam the reviver Muhammad bin Abdul wahhaab may Allah ﷻ have mercy on him, and the d'awah of the imaam of sunnah Al-imaam Ahmad may Allah have mercy on him, and other than him from the imaams of the salaf, it is a d'awah which extends from the d'awah of our prophet Muhammad ﷺ and his companions, a great d'awah.

The hostility of the hostile and the hizbees will not harm this da'wah, nor the hostility of any envious or spiteful one, and whoever resists this da'wah will only harm himself. 

And any mistakes which occur from within this blessed da'wah from some individuals, then they do not represent the da'wah. Those individuals only represent themselves. The da'wah is not represented by an individual who is eager upon finding faults and follows up the faults of the scholars or the errors of the scholars. The da'wah is not represented by an individual who becomes happy by the fault of a scholar then flys with this fault to every place. These type of people do not represent the da'wah.

The da'wah is represented by the scholars; those who are eager upon unity, eager upon uniting agreement, and are eager upon khair.

As for the one that becomes happy at the splitting of the da'wah, and he is happy with the faults of the scholars being spread, this one represents himself, this one is spiteful and jealous, the saying of the poet is applied to him:

"If they hear a doubt from me then they fly with it in happiness*

And whatever they hear of righteousness they bury it,

They become deaf when they hear me being mentioned with good*

And if I am mentioned with bad then they listen attentively."

These people have resentment, they are not suitable to represent the da'wah, not with these mistakes and these faults. The da'wah is represented by the scholars; who advise (sincerely) and are eager to bring about unity. 

Allah ﷻ said:

(وَإِذَا جَاءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِنَ الْأَمْنِ أَوِ الْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا بِهِ ۖ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنْبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ ۗ ...)

When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly)....

[Surat An-Nisa' 83]

And also the saying of Allah ﷻ:

(... ۚ فَاسْأَلُوا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ)

"So ask of the people of knowledge if you know not."

[Surat An-Nahl 43]

And Allah ﷻ said:

(... يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَاتٍ ۚ ...)

"Allah will exalt in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge "

[Surat Al-Mujadila 11]

So the scholars are those who lead this blessed da'wah. We Ask Allah ﷻ that He protects this khair, that He repels anyone who wants evil or corruption within it, that He protects for us our da'wah from every evil and disliked matter, and that He represses every spiteful jealous individual; and all praise be to Allah ﷻ the Lord of everything in existence.
