Al-Hasan Al-Basri (may Allāh have mercy on him) said:

«العالم يرى الفتنة وهي مقبلة، والناس لا يرونها إلا وهي مدبرة» "The scholar perceives fitnah as it approaches, while the people only recognise it once it has passed." __ What has been said regarding Jam’iyyaat: Sheikh Albani raḥimahullāh said: 'الجمعيات أستار الحزبيات' “Jam'iyyaat act like a smokescreen for Hizbiyyah.” Sheikh Muqbil rahimahullah said: 'الجمعيات حزبية مغلفة' “Jam'iyyaat are a blanketed form of Hizbiyyah.” Sheikh Rabee’ ḥafidhahullāh said: "No Jam'iyyah has been established (without eventually collapsing), and I challenge you to name a single Jam'iyyah today that remains steadfast upon the Salafi Manhaj." https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1385 Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh said: 'الجمعيات من أعظم الوسائل إلى الحزبية' “Jam'iyyaat are among the greatest means leading to Hizbiyyah.” https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1425 Sheikh Sulayman Ar-Ruhaili said: "Additionally, such Jam'iyyaat may lead to obedience being dictated by the Jam'iyyah rather than by the Qur'ān and Sunnah. It is often said, "Submit yourself to this Jam'iyyah as the deceased submits to the one who washes his body." While this may not happen immediately, it inevitably occurs over time, as experience has shown." https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1380 An example closer to home ⤵️ https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/en/charity-search/?p_p_id=uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=maximized&p_p_mode=view&_uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet_regId=1083080&_uk_gov_ccew_onereg_charitydetails_web_portlet_CharityDetailsPortlet_subId=0 It may have started off as a business / Salafi Bookstore / da'wah project, but this is where it's reached: Extracts from a January 2019 post on Salafus Salih Handle on Tumblr by an ex-member: "...we have never spoke about their oppression except when we were asked to speak about it through the inbox. however as time went on, that which could be chalked up as personal problems between the brothers, eventually today became issues in manhaj (methodology), and even worst than that issues that have to do with their adalah (moral uprightness and integrity). at first it was just germantown, musa richardson & the brothers warning against salafyink privately without any proof and refusing to take shaykh rabi b. hadi al-madkhal (hafidahullah)'s advice to make islah (rectification) and stop warning against them. then it was salafi publications and troids warnings against our beloved salafi websites such as Abdurrahmandotorg...and any other websites that did not link back to their affiliates. then it was abu khadijaha's behind closed doors warnings against abu talha dawud burbank's son's websites because he was not with the brothers (from salafi publications). then it was the unfounded warnings from salaf publications against mhbay (masjid hudayfah b. yaman in uk) and salafievents without proof..."
