Bismillaah,
wal-hamdulilaah, was-salaatu was-salaamu 'alaa rasoolillaah, wa ba'd
As Salaam 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakatuh,
The following is an important note to the one who is concerned for his deen
[especially in the Toronto area], the one concerned for the Sunnah, someone
who wishes to align him/her self with Scholars of Islaam and their Students
and to be free and far removed from misguidance, partisanship and opposition
to the truth and its people.
Beware of the following conf.
We advise our brothers/sisters who may have been invited to the
aforementioned programme to weigh upon the scales of correctness and
uprightness; their speakers, their affiliations and their statements. Without
a doubt, if one can do this, without emotional attachment, without
favouritism and bias, it will become clear that these individuals feign the
manhaj of the Salaf but in reality are from the opponents of Salafiyyah and
many who emanate from them end up upon the same conclusion.
Take note 'O Sunnee!

Review:
Due to the weakness in the Ummah and lack of comprehension of the pure
Islamic methodology, it is common in our time that an ignorant person is
taken as a person of knowledge, and that an ignorant person assumes the role
and responsibility of a speaker and caller to Islaam. Despite the mountain of
statements from the Salaf, the likes of al-Laalikaaee, al-Barabahaaree, Ahmad
Ibn Hanbal, Ibn Sireen and so on imploring the Muslims to stick to the
Scholars, the people of sunnah (the jama'aah) and to stay away from doubtful
matters.
So before seeking to sit in a gathering, have you asked yourself:
- Is this person known to the scholars or their students?
- Does he have tazkiyaat of any sort?
- Who are his companions (from whom does he sit with)?
- Does he frequent the gatherings of Ahlus-Sunnah, their masaajid, seminars,
lectures etc.?
- What do the people of Sunnah and Salafiyyah in his area say about him?
- Does he cooperate with Ahlul-Bid'ah, their masaajid and programmes (is he
here, there and everywhere)?
Do you put up these roadblocks in your mind before setting out to seek
knowledge with a man? Seeing that it is from the most important affairs you
could ever set out upon...your salvation, your 'aqeedah, your path towards
paradise insha'Allaah
Shaykh Ahmad Bazmool states:
'...This is how important this is, this knowledge is deen, something that he
will be raised with on the day of judgment...the Muslim must look and take
his deen from Ahlus-Sunnah, as-Salafiyyoon, known for knowledge, being upright
and having taqwaa'
'Imaam Maalik said it is not enough for someone to be a worshipper, and to be
known for Zuhd, outward expression of worship, that you take from them...but
they did not take from them because that was not their affair (knowledge),
they were worshippers that's all. In this time we see someone who has a
lihyah (beard), his thobe above his ankles and he is then the muftee of his
area, this is a mistake!'
'It is forbidden for the one who is asked and doesn't know, to answer. Likewise
it is haraam for the one to ask one who doesn't know...he has to ask the
scholar...if you had a medical situation, would we go to a mechanic? And if
we had a problem with our car, would we go to a farmer...no we would go to
each individual who is a specialist in their field...so when it comes to the
issue of deen, we must go to the scholars, it is not right to ask (just)
anybody or do what everyone else is doing.'
''Abu Dardaa' went to the masjid one day (in the time of the tabi’een)
and he observed the people praying differently than according to the Sunnah,
so he came home angry and his wife (Ummudh-Dardaa') asked him what has made
you angry? He said, 'By Allaah I don't see anything from the time of the
Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) except praying together (meaning that
they had abandoned much of the Sunnah). This is his statement whilst he was
close to the time of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam). So what
about know? 1400 years after that, are general masses upon Sunnah? Are the
general masses upon knowledge? No! Rather we should follow the scholars!'
From the other points discussed:
An Important point is made about leaving off taking knowledge even from the
one who speaks with the 'Aqeedah of Ahlus-Sunnah yet he has hizbiyyah with
him or Surooriyyah with him (i.e. someone simply speaking with the haqq
doesn't make him a person of knowledge or a person to sit with)
The corrupt principle of 'taking the good/leaving the bad', making oneself a
private investigator into the affairs of many people of many different
beliefs and then appointing oneself as the criterion between what to take and
what to leave (not realising that he, himself, is ignorant, he can't protect
himself from this fitnah and this isn't from the manhaj of Ahlus-Sunnah to
sit with Ahlul-Bid'ah in this regard)
