Reflections on some statements of Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Madkhali 84

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

“Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart, and that is the weakest of faith” [Reported by Muslim (49)]

Nowadays, for instance, a scholar may not denounce certain things either out of fear or for other reasons; however, he hates it in his heart. Ahlul Ahwa [the followers of vain desires – i.e. misguided people] say about him (i.e. about this scholar): agent, spy, sycophant, flatterer, and other accusations, which, by Allah, they have adopted from none other than the communists. These Asaaleeb (conducts, behaviours, ways) are not from the Asaaleeb of the Muslims. These are Asaaleeb of the communists, revolutionaries, Ba’athists, nationalists, and the misguided parties. How can a Muslim youth accept this?

حديث آخر (من رأى منكم منكرا فليغيره بيده، فإن لم يستطع فبلسانه، فإن لم يستطع فبقلبه وذلك أضعف الإيمان) (رواه مسلم (49))

الآن العالم مثلًا ما ينكر بعض الأشياء إما خائف أو شيء آخر؛ لكن كره بقلبه، يقول فيه أهل الأهواء: عميل جاسوس مجامل مداهن إلى آخر الاتهامات التي والله ما أخذوها إلا عن الشيوعيين، هذه أساليب ليست أساليب المسلمين، هذه أساليب الشيوعيين والثوريين والبعثيين والقوميين والأحزاب الضالة، كيف يقبل بها الشاب المسلم؟
