On the traits and characteristics of the Madkhali hizb, May Allah guide us all: This is not a single monolithic group but a number of strands that have diverged from the original Jaamiyyah, and not every strand exhibits every trait listed below. Broadly speaking, however, their governing principles (usul) can be grouped under the following categories. 1. Charging others with innovation (tabdi): expanding bidah's scope and extending the charge by mere association 2. Boycott and social exclusion: cutting off prayer, trade, and basic courtesies from whoever they've labelled 3. Creed and doctrine: narrowing disbelief to creed alone and testing people on minor points 4. The ruler and authority: excess obedience to rulers alongside excess reverence for their own shaykhs 5. On handling the words of others: reading scholars' statements in the worst possible light 6. Self perception and rivals: claiming perfection for their own circle while ranking and monopolising Salafism 7. Conduct and character: harshness, insults, and abandoning fairness toward opponents On charging others with innovation (tabdi) 1. Expanding the very concept of bidah beyond its proper bounds, so that matters of legitimate disagreement get treated as innovation 2. Excess, laxity, and overextension in applying tabdi, using it as a default response rather than a last resort 3. Charging with innovation anyone who refuses to charge others with innovation, treating restraint itself as suspect 4. Charging with innovation anyone who has fallen into an innovation, without distinguishing intent, ignorance, or degree 5. Charging with innovation anyone who praises someone already charged with innovation, extending guilt by association 6. Charging with innovation anyone who merely sits with someone charged with innovation, even without agreement on the matter 7. Charging with innovation anyone who reads or cites the books of those charged with innovation 8. Charging with innovation anyone who listens to the recorded talks of those charged with innovation 9. Charging with innovation everyone affiliated with the Society for the Revival of the Salafi Heritage (ihyaa al-Turath al-Salafiyyah) 10. Charging with innovation everyone affiliated with the Society of the Supporters of the Muhammadan Sunnah (Ansar al-Sunnah Muhammadiyyah) 11. Charging with innovation everyone affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwaan al-Muslimeen) 12. Charging with innovation everyone affiliated with Jamaat al Tabligh (Tablighi Jamaat) 13. Charging with innovation everyone affiliated with any party, group, or society whatsoever, collapsing organisational affiliation into doctrinal deviation 14. Charging with innovation anyone who distributes al Abbad's treatise on Sunni etiquette toward fellow Sunnis, since the treatise itself calls for restraint toward opponents! (Rifqan Ahl al-Sunnah bi Ahl al-Sunnah) by sh Abdulmuhsin al-Abbad. 15. Charging with innovation those who differ with them on matters of fiqh, treating legitimate juristic disagreement as deviation 16. Charging with innovation anyone who makes an honest error in ijtihad, rather than excusing the qualified mujtahid who errs 17. Charging with innovation those who hold to tawhid al hakimiyyah, a position with respectable scholarly backing 18. Impugning the honour of scholars and callers without cause 19. Charging with innovation anyone who differs with their methodology or objects to their impugning of others 20. Charging one another with innovation within their own ranks, so the practice eventually turns inward On boycott and social exclusion 21. Claiming prayer is invalid when led by anyone they've charged with innovation 22. Claiming congregational prayer is invalid alongside such a person 23. Claiming it is forbidden to trade or do business with such a person 24. Claiming it is forbidden to show such a person mercy 25. Claiming it is forbidden to fight alongside such a person in jihad 26. Claiming it is forbidden to take knowledge from such a person, even where the knowledge itself is sound 27. Claiming it is forbidden to greet such a person with salam 28. Claiming it is forbidden to visit such a person when sick 29. Claiming it is forbidden to offer such a person condolences 30. Claiming boycott of all who oppose them is religiously obligatory, rather than a discretionary matter weighed by benefit and harm 31. Claiming the people of innovation are worse than Jews and Christians, an extreme and unsubstantiated escalation 32. Claiming an innovator's prayer, fasting, and charity are not accepted by Allah 33. Claiming it is obligatory to burn the books of the people of innovation On creed and doctrine 34. Confining the reality of disbelief to matters of creed alone, ignoring the role of major sins and practical rebellion against Allah's law 35. Testing ordinary people on fine and obscure points of doctrine as a condition of acceptance, rather than the core matters agreed upon by the salaf 36. Claiming action is a condition for the completeness of faith, a position that blurs the standard Ahl al Sunnah distinction between completeness and validity of faith On the ruler and authority 37. Regarding open denunciation of wrongdoing as rebellion against the ruler, even where it involves no incitement or violence 38. Regarding public demonstrations as rebellion against the ruler 39. Claiming a grievance may not even be raised without the ruler's permission 40. Claiming that correction by hand belongs to the ruler alone, restricting a duty that scholars have traditionally applied more broadly within one's own authority 41. Regarding the methods of dawah as fixed permanently by revelation, with no room for adaptation to time or circumstance 42. Regarding even a disbelieving, usurping ruler as legitimate authority owed obedience 43. Claiming silence is obligatory in the face of a ruler's deviation, rather than sincere private advice 44. Excess in the obedience owed to the ruler, beyond what the sharia requires 45. Excess in reverence shown specifically toward Shaykh Rabi al Madkhali, treating him as beyond question 46. Elevating their own shaykhs and symbols beyond question or critique On handling the words of others 47. Burdening scholars' and callers' statements with meanings they cannot reasonably bear 48. Carrying scholars' and callers' words to the worst possible interpretation, rather than the best available one 49. Assuming the worst of scholars and callers as a default posture 50. Deeming it permissible to speak ill of scholars' and callers' honour 51. Believing that disparaging scholars and callers is itself an act of worship that draws one closer to Allah On self perception and rivals 52. Claiming absolute perfection for the scholars and callers within their own circle, refusing to acknowledge any fault in them 53. Prioritising the fight against rival callers over the fight against genuinely deviant sects and disbelief 54. Ranking and categorising scholars and callers into tiers of acceptability 55. Measuring a man's Salafism by his stance toward Rabi al Madkhali specifically, rather than by adherence to the Quran and Sunnah 56. Inventing the claim that there is no such thing as "the methodology of the salaf" as a coherent, identifiable approach 57. Treating "the methodology of the salaf" itself as an independent source of legislation alongside the Quran and Sunnah 58. Falsely claiming to follow the methodology of Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymin, and al Albani, despite diverging from their actual positions and temperament 59. Monopolising the label of Salafism for themselves alone, denying it to other sincere adherents of the Sunnah 60. Using harsh and cutting language against those who oppose them 61. Testing people's soundness by their position on particular individuals rather than by sound principles On conduct and character 62. Judging people according to their own group's internal standards rather than agreed upon sharia principles 63. Obsessive fixation on tracking down and publicising others' errors 64. Delving into and pronouncing on people's hidden intentions, a matter reserved for Allah 65. Poor character and conduct more broadly in dealing with others 66. Attributing to opponents the necessary implications of their views rather than engaging their actual stated positions 67. Applying Quranic verses revealed about disbelievers to fellow Muslims 68. Exerting no real effort toward the practical victory and advancement of Islam 69. Lack of genuine concern for seeking beneficial knowledge, as opposed to pursuing polemics 70. Harshness toward those who disagree with them, in contrast to the gentleness commanded in dawah 71. Lack of concern for the pressing concerns and welfare of the wider ummah 72. Transgressing proper bounds and etiquette in disputes 73. Insulting and reviling those who oppose them 74. Separating methodology from creed as though the two were unrelated matters 75. Clinging to ambiguous evidence while abandoning what is clear and established 76. Departing from fairness and even handedness in judging others 77. Harbouring rancour and envy toward rivals 78. Showing boldness and disrespect toward senior, established scholars 79. Self admiration and conceit regarding their own correctness 80. Holding the view that whoever is not with them is against them, leaving no room for neutrality 81. Refusing to accept the repentance of those who err and later correct themselves 82. Permitting for themselves what they forbid to others 83. Applying words whose apparent sense is disbelief without due caution or the careful conditions scholars require before takfir 84. Appending "al Salafi" or "al Athari" to their own names as a badge of exclusive legitimacy 85. Failing to mention the good qualities of those who oppose them, presenting only their faults 86. Accusing scholars of being ignorant of real world circumstances when their rulings prove inconvenient 87. Branding anyone who responds to their claims as an enemy of the Sunnah 88. Cooperating with secularists against other Islamic groups and movements 89. Abandoning and holding back from supporting the wider Muslim community in its genuine causes 90. Practising a form of intellectual intimidation against dissenters, silencing disagreement through fear of being labelled 91. Branding everyone who differs with them as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood (ikhwaani), regardless of actual affiliation

This is why segregation is obligatory in muslim weddings

This work is beautiful and sad as a Muslim, because we’ve discouraged art, made all music haram, and now we’re in awe of the Japanese telling our stories using all the tools we’ve forbidden on ourselves.

Former South African cricket star Hashim Amla has once again demonstrated that true honor lies in simplicity, not extravagance. According to reports, He arranged the marriage of His second daughter in a humble and dignified ceremony held at the Central Jumu'ah Mosque in Johannesburg. The groom, Muhammad Bilal, is a teacher at an Islamic seminary, and only close family members attended the nikah. To mark the occasion, Hashim Amla also sponsored meals and new clothing for underprivileged children through a local charitable institution in Johannesburg. After the ceremony, He personally accompanied His daughter and drove her to her new home. Earlier, during Ramadan, He had also arranged His eldest daughter's marriage with the same spirit of modesty and sincerity. Despite having the means to host a lavish celebration, Hashim Amla chose humility over luxury offering a powerful reminder that the true beauty of marriage lies in faith, simplicity and gratitude rather than worldly display. Real greatness is reflected in character, not in the size of a wedding. May Allah bless the newlyweds and reward every family that chooses sincerity over extravagance.

The ease with which anyone can dismantle Daniel Haqiqatjou's shirk apologetics is laughable. This conversation I had with him was around six months ago and lasted only about 20 minutes before it was interrupted by the host of the live. Imagine what could be done to this fool in a proper, uninterrupted discussion. He knows he would be embarrassed, which is why he blocked me.
