BENEFIT 173: Tariq As-Suwaydan

Question: We found this book with some of the students of knowledge: "Organise Your Life" by Dr. Tariq As-Suwaidan. Sheikh Abdulhamid Az-Zu'kari, may Allah protect him, responds: "I fear that your face will turn aswad (black) O student. I fear that your heart will darken O student, if this is your condition; reading the works of a heretic, someone who has left the fold of Islam. Fear Allah and repent to Him, Almighty. Haven't you found any way to organise your time other than through Tariq As-Suwaidan?! The one who teaches heresy, defames the Companions, and calls you to absolute freedom. Some people lack conviction in the Salafi methodology, and they are quickly swayed by the slightest temptation. Those who lack conviction in the Salafi methodology exit along with those who exit; this one is deceived by Az-Zindani, another by Muhammad Al-Mahdi, another by Salman and Safar, and another by Al-Usaymi. Each is deceived by someone of his kind. This one is deceived by Jarboo', and he leads them astray with his Jarba'ah. By Allah, there remains Jarboo' followers among us, infiltrated and needing their heads to be corrected. You cannot tell me the issue [of Al-Udhr bil jahl] is a knowledge based issue [concerning which the scholars differed] while you declare innovation upon Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah, accusing them of being Murji'ah or falling into the irjaa' of the Karrāmiyah. I swear by Allah that these type of people need the stern treatment we've given to Jarboo' until they repent or dissolve away. [Adhere to] Salafiyyah! This fragility is of no benefit. If you build your house on fragile ground, the moment flood strikes it will destroy it. It is of no use. There must be steadfastness on the Salafi path. Advise the owner of this book, if you know him. If he wants to follow Tariq As-Suwaidan, let him leave us and go to Tariq As-Suwaidan. Burn the book, O Abu... There is no author except Tariq As-Suwaidan?! I seek refuge with Allah from some actions. By Allah, if I found a Quranic interpretation by him, I wouldn't take from it; by Allah! Tariq As-Suwaidan and his likes. What do they offer? When Al-Qaradawi authored 'The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam', Sheikh Al-Albani, may Allah have mercy on him, said, 'I looked into it, and it was all lawful and lawful, with no prohibitions.' He permitted the sale of alcohol, pork, and usury. What do you expect from these people? Be convinced, brother! Be convinced by the Salafi methodology! Be convinced! By Allah, the hoarseness of Ibn Baz's voice is more beloved to us than the Muslim Brotherhood and all their scholars, worshippers, and all their matters. His voice alone, not to mention Ibn Baz himself, who is the Imam of the Muslims. The audio recordings of Sheikh Muqbil, 'نعم, نعم,' are more delightful to us than the eloquence of Ali Al-Qarni and 'Aa'idh Al-Qarni. But some do not know the Salafi methodology and have not tasted Salafiyyah. Sometimes, some people from Al-Iman University used come to Dammaj to study Arabic, and they are told before coming to take from Sheikh Muqbil and the people of Dammaj Arabic and avoid talking about groups and individuals. They come, learn Arabic, and leave as Hizbees. It is of no use. By Allah, you will not benefit unless you are a clear-cut Salafi. Love (Al-Miqah) stems from Allah. Al-Bukhari has a chapter "Chapter: Al-Miqah (love) stems from Allah" - and this love is not attained except through Salafiyyah and obeying Allah Almighty. [Allah ﷻ states in a hadith qudsi] "O Jibreel, I love so-and-so, so love him, and Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel calls out to the angels, 'Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.' Then acceptance is placed for him on earth." But this mixed bag Salafiyyah, this is not Salafiyyah, this is khalafiyyah.
