Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 31 | Size: 1 MB
In this classic treatise, Ibn Rajab (rahimahullaah) discusses the
differences between Advising and Condemning, which is an extremely
important topic since it is very common that the two are confused for
one another. For the most part, his talk revolves around the dealings
and affairs of the scholars, and how it was from their way to advise and
accept the truth from one another. And he shows how condemning was not
from their characteristics, but rather from the signs of the evil and
wicked people who held hidden goals and objectives.
This book is especially important in
these days due to the widescale confusion that exists on this subject
amongst the Muslims. So today when we find scholars of the Sunnah
refuting weak opinions of other scholars from the past, they are quickly
accused of hating those scholars of the past and just condemning them,
when in fact they are really advising the ummah and warning the Muslims
against following a man in his error. At the same time, we have people
who present themselves as defending these scholars of the past (who were
criticized) and who seek to “àdvise” the ummah, when in fact they are
just trying to defame a scholar and belittle his status. So, we hope
that these matters become clear to the reader upon studying this
treatise and that he is able to distinguish those who are truly advising
from those who are just condemning.
