BENEFIT 193: A Wake-Up Call

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful An Open Letter from a Wounded Heart to Those Who Have Hearts or Lend an Ear and Are Witnesses Through my diligent observation of the current state of the Islamic Da'wah across various fields, I have noticed that while some members of the Salafi Da'wah are preoccupied with their internal disputes, the deviant sects have emerged, led by preachers at the gates of Hell. The Rafidah are active and vocal, and even those whom many Sunnis thought to be closest to them, such as the Houthis in Yemen, openly declare their rejection and blatant shirk. They attack the Qur'an, slander the Mothers of the Believers, and declare the Companions to be disbelievers, among other transgressions. As for the Sufi heretics, their arrogance and audacity are beyond words. One of their defeated heretics, Yasri Jabr, shamelessly states that a saint can turn into a God and can appear naked, among other blasphemies. The activists, with their various affiliations, have unleashed hundreds of their followers on social media to gloat over your disagreements, using them as proof of the corruption of your methodology. They hope that your Da'wah will end at your own hands due to the severity of your internal strife. O People of the Sunnah, wake up! The battle is fierce and the armies have met. Abandon your disputes that neither nourish nor satisfy hunger, and know that every scholarly disagreement can be resolved in an atmosphere of brotherhood, mercy, cooperation, and agreement. Do not forget to leave room for reconciliation. O People of the Sunnah, may Allah preserve you wherever you are, wield the sword of knowledge and Da'wah, ascend to the heights of truth and justice, and eradicate the green of the callers to misguidance with evidence and clarity. You are the saved sect and the victorious group. Al-Bukhari (7311) and Muslim (156) narrated from Al-Mughira ibn Shu'ba, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A group of my nation will continue to be victorious until Allah's command comes, and they are victorious over the people." In another narration by Muslim (1037), "A group of my nation will continue to uphold Allah's command. Those who let them down or oppose them will not harm them until Allah's command comes, and they are victorious over the people." Shaykh al-Islam, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "This hadith is firmly established and well-known among the scholars. It is reported in both Sahihs from multiple narrations. This hadith confirms that the Ummah will experience division and disagreement on fundamental issues of religion. Hence, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, described this group as the saved and victorious sect until the Day of Judgment, adhering to the commands of Allah and His Messenger." Do you not know, O People of the Sunnah, that the activists are trying to steal the term "the saved sect" and "the victorious group" from you, just as their predecessors, the Maturidis and Ash'aris, attempted to steal the term "Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah"? O People of the Sunnah, wake up. The Rafidah are coming, the Sufis are ready, and the activists are lurking. The Jews and Christians are using all of them to create a modified Islam, manufactured in the lodges of the Freemasons and the dungeons of Zionism. O Allah, keep us steadfast in Islam and the Sunnah until we meet You, turning towards You, not away. I conveyed the message! O Allah, bear witness.
