Indeed, all praise is due to Allah, we
praise Him, we seek His aid, and we ask for His forgiveness. We seek
refuge in Allah from the evil of our actions and from the evil
consequences of our actions. Whoever Allah guides, there is none to
misguide, and whoever Allah misguides there is none to guide. I bear
witness that there is no god worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear
witness that Muhammad is the servant and messenger of Allah. To proceed:
Today, the 20 Jumada al-Ula 1430 AH, I
present a lesson to you entitled ‘The Statements of A’id al-Qarni: A
Presentation and Critique’. Dr A’id al-Qarni, may Allah guide me and him
to what pleases Allah, is of the most prominent preachers and activists
and many common people, as opposed to students of knowledge, are
influenced by his statements. So in order to initially free from
responsibility, secondly to advise him and thirdly to advise the
generality of Muslims- I wish to produce this critique of him
insha’Allah. What is firmly acknowledged by Ahl us-Sunnah is that
everyone can have his statement accepted or rejected as Ibn ’AbdulBarr
reported in his book Jami’ Bayan al-’Ilm wa Fadlihi from Imam Malik
(rahimahullah) who stated “everyone can have his statement accepted or
rejected except the companion of this grave (i.e. the Prophet,
sallallahu ’alayhi wassallam)”. Ibn ’AbdulHadi (rahimahullah)
authenticated this from Imam Malik. Ibn Hazm also mentions this in his
book al-Ihkam fi Usul il-Ahkam from al-Hakam bin ’Utaybah and Mujahid
(rahimahumullah). Then know my brothers that a critique or refutation is
sought-after in the Sharee’ah and also shows mercy to the one that is
being refuted. Adh-Dhahabi mentioned in his book SiyarA’lam un-Nubala’
that Imam Yusuf ibn Asbat spoke about a man and Abu Salih al- Fara’ said
“is this not backbiting?” Imam Yusuf ibn Asbat said: “You foolish man! I
am better to them than their own fathers and mothers! We clarify their
errors to them so that people will not follow them and thereby increase
their sins.” So we ask Allah to make us of those who explain the errors
of those who fall into error so that their sins do not increase from
one angle and so that the Sharee’ah of Muhammad ibn ’Abdillah
(sallallahu ’alayhi wassallam) is protected from another angle. Before
we start with this critique I wish to firstly begin with nine
introductions:
FIRST INTRODUCTION
From the greatest features of those who
preach for Allah is that, by being themselves du’at untoAllah, they call
to tawheed in the way traversed by the Prophet (sallallahu ’alayhi
wassallam), rather in the way traversed by all of the Prophets, as Allah
said:
“Say, ‘This
is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me.
And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with
Him.’”{Yusuf (12): 108}
Thus, if you want to know a true caller
from others, then look at his condition, and if he is concerned with
tawheed, calls to tawheed and strives hard in that, then you’ll know
that he is a true caller.
