❐ FN [⭕️47] - Opposing and raising the Muslims against the leader is forbidden, regardless if the leader is evil or righteous. Ubadah Ibn as-Samit (Rady'Allahu Anhu) said: "We gave the oath of allegiance to RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) that we would hear and obey in matters that we liked and matters that we disliked, and in things that were hard upon us and things that were easy upon us and those things which we desired. And that we would not oppose the authority of the leaders unless we notice him having open disbelief for which we would have a proof with us from Allah (against him)." [Bukhari; Muslim]
❐ FN [⭕️48] - It is not permissible for a Muslim to engage and interact with innovators. Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:
❐ "You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger." [al-Mujadilah 58/22]
❐ al-Fudayl Ibn lyad said: "I met the best of people, all of whom, were people of the Sunnah. And they used to forbid (others) from accompanying the people of innovation."
[al-Lailaka'i, Sharh Usoul I'tiqaad Ahlu's-Sunnah, # 267]
❐ FN [⭕️49] - Allah (azza wajal) says: "None dispute concerning the ayat of Allah except those who disbelieve." [Ghafir 40/4]
❐ And RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "A people never went astray after being upon guidance, except by disputing." [Tirmidhi]
❐ FN [⭕️50] - What is meant here, is that there is no blame to be placed upon the scholars, such as the four Imaams, for their differing in the issues of the Religion that are not related to Belief, such as ablution, prayer, and their likes. And he said:
❐ “Differing concerning the issues of the religion is a mercy and those who differ in it are praiseworthy in their differences”.
This point is not a commendation for disagreement, for indeed coming to agreement is better. The author as is only making such a statement to absolve blame from these righteous scholars in their differences, for indeed each of them is praiseworthy for his Ijtihaad (exertion towards deriving a ruling) even though he may not have attained the truth by it. As for the hadith attributed to RasulAllah (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam):
❐ "Disagreement in my ummah is a mercy",
then it is fabricated. Rather, it has no source in any acceptable book of hadith nor can the scholars find a chain of narration for it, whether weak, authentic or fabricated.

♨️ Part : 1
1️⃣💠Imam Ash-Shafi'i (Rahimahu'Allah): On one occasion Imam Shafi'ee said concerning the Shia, "I have not seen among the heretics a people more famous for falsehood than the Raafidi* Shia." and on another occasion he said; "Narrate knowledge from everyone you meet except for the Raafidi* Shia, because they invent ahaadeeth and adopt them as part of their religion." [Minhaj as-Sunnah an-Nabawiyyah]
‼️(Some shia at the time of the Alid Imam Zayd ibn 'Ali demanded that he make a declaration of innocence (tabarra) from whoever disagreed with 'Ali's right to be Imam. When Zayd refused, they rejected him, and became known as the "Raafida" or rejectors.
⚠️Those who followed Imam Zayd became known as Zaydis, and have very little difference from mainstream Islam. The Raafidi evolved into the the various Imaami shia sects, the largest of which is the Ithna 'Ashari.)
2️⃣💠Imam Abu Haneefah: It is reported that often Imam Abu Hanifah (Rahimahu'Allah) used to repeat the following statement about the Raafidi Shia; "Whoever doubts whether they are disbelievers has himself committed disbelief."
3️⃣💠Imam Malik: Once when asked about the Raafidi Shia, Imam Malik (Rahimahu'Allah) said; "Do not speak to them or narrate from them, for surely they are liars." During one of Imam Malik's classes, it was mentioned that the raafidi Shia curse the sahabah. Imam Malik (Rahimahu'Allah) recited the Ayah,
💠 "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and those with him are harsh with the disbelievers and gentle among themselves. So that the disbelievers may become enraged with them." (48:29) He then said, "Whoever becomes enraged when the sahabah are mentioned is the one about whom the Ayah speaks." [Tafsir al-Qurtubi]
4️⃣💠Imam Ibn al- MUBAARAK: was reported to have said "Religion is gained from Ahl al-Hadith, scholastic theology, and crafty exemptions from religious ordinances from Ahl-ar-ray and lies from the Raafidite Shi'ites.
5️⃣💠Abu Zur'ah ar-Razi: He said of the raafidi Shia doctrine of cursing the sahabah, "If you see someone degrade any of the companions of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) know that he is a disbeliever.
💥Because the Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) was real, what he brought was the truth and all of it was conveyed to us by way of the sahabah. What those disbelievers wish to do is cast doubt on the reliability of our narrators in order to invalidate the Qur'an and Sunnah. Thus the disbelievers are the ones most deserving of defamation."
6️⃣💠Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi: During the period of Muslim rule in Spain, Imam Abu Muhammad ibn Hazm (Rahimahu'Allah) would often debate with the Catholic priests about their religious texts. He brought before them evidence of textual distortions in the Bible and the loss of the original manuscripts. When they replied by pointing out the Shia claims that the Qur'an has been distorted and altered, Ibn Hazm (Rahimahu'Allah) informed them that Shia claims were not valid evidence because the Shia were not themselves Muslims.
7️⃣💠 Imam Al-Alusi: He declared the raafidi Shia disbelievers because of their defamation of the sahabah. His position was based on the rulings of Imam Malik and other scholars. In response to their claim to be followers of the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's sallallahu alaihe wa sallam family) Al-Alusi said, "No, they are really followers of the devils and the Ahl al-Bayt are innocent of them."

💠 Ibn Hazm (Rahimahu'Allah) said, "As for their (i.e. the Christians) statement about the claims of the Rawaafid that the Qur'an has been changed, then the Rawaafid are not from amongst the Muslims.
‼️This is only a sect that was first invented twenty-five years after the death of the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)... And it is a group that proceeds upon the path of the Jews and the (Christians in lying and disbelief.” [Refer to al-Milal wan-Nihal (2/213) of ash-Shahrastaanee]
💢And he said, "And there is no disagreement amongst anyone from the sects that ascribe, to Islam from Ahlus-Sunnah, the Mu'tazilah, the Khawaarij, the Murji’ah and the Zaydiyyah concerning the obligation of accepting the Qur'an that are recited by us...
‼️The only-people who oppose that are the extreme Rawaafid, and they are polytheistic disbelievers due to that according to all the people of Islam. So our speech does not concern them, since our speech only deals with the people of our Religion.” [Refer to al-Ihkaam (1/96) of Ibn Hazm]
2️⃣Abu Haamiid al-Isfaraayeenee (Rahimahu'Allah |d.406H):
💠He cited a number of their beliefs, then he ruled upon them with his statement, "And in such a condition they are not upon anything from the Religion. Arid there is nothing to increase upon this type of disbelief, since there is nothing left for it from the Religion.” [Refer to at-Tabseer fid-Deen (p. 24-25) of al-Isfaraayeenee]
3️⃣Abu Haamid al-Ghazzaalee (Rahimahu'Allah | d.505H):
💠He said, "Due to the shortcomings in the understanding of the Rawaafid about Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala), they believe that He changes His view. And they quote from 'Ali (radiyallaaku 'anhu) that Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) would not inform about the Unseen out of fear that He - the Exalted - would change His view concerning it and would thus change His ruling.

💠Ibn Taymiyyah - Rahimahu'Allah - said, "Whosoever claims that aayaat are missing, or have-been concealed from the Qur'an, or he claims that its aayaat have inner meanings that cancel out the outward shari'ah actions, then there is no disagreement concerning his disbelief.
‼️And whosoever claims that they Companions became apostates after the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam), except for a small group that did not reach ten odd people in number, or that they majority of them were disobedient sinners, then there is also no doubt about the disbelief of this one.
⚠️This is because he has denied what the Qur'an stipulates in more than one place about Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) being pleased with them and praising them. Rather, who can doubt in the disbelief of this one? So his disbelief is specific, since this statement implies that the carriers of the Book and the Sunnah were disbelievers or disobedient sinners.

💠"You are the best nation raised up for mankind." [Soorah Aali-'Imraan 3:110]
💥And the best of the Ummah is its first generation, but if they were generally disbelievers and disobedient sinners, then this is the most evil of nations and the early generations of this nation are the most evil ones within it.

‼️"And it the affair had been as they claimed, no one from amongst the Companions would have confirmed that. Since, they were the most obedient to Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) and His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) during his life and after his death.
💢So it is not possible that they would undermine him, such that they would give precedence to other than the one whom he had given precedence to, or that, they would defer one to whom he had given precedence to via his text. May Allah forbid such a thing, it would never happen!
‼️And whosoever suspects such a thing about the Companions (ridwaanullaahi 'alayhim), then he has attributed to them that they united upon disobedience and agreed upon stubborn rejection of the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and opposition to his ruling and his text.
‼️And whosoever from amongst the people reaches such a level, then he has thrown off the yoke of Islam from his neck and he has disbelieved according to the, consensus (ijmaa) of the Imaams and outstanding personalities.

❐ Part - 1
❐ Imam al-Haramayn Dhia' ul-Din Abd al-Malik ibn Yusuf al-Juwayni al-Shafi'i (امام الحرمین ضیاءالدین عبدالملک ابن یوسف جوینی شافعی, 22 February 1028— 19 August 1085 CE; 419—478 AH) was a Persian Sunni Shafi'i faqih and mutakallim.
His name is commonly abbreviated as Al-Juwayni; he is also commonly referred to as Imam al Haramayn, "leading master of the two holy cities", that is, Mecca and Medina.
Imam Abu Muhammad al-Juwayni said: "Know, that for a brief period of time, I was confused about three matters:
The issue of as-Sifaat (Allah’s Attributes); the issue of al-Fawqiyyah (Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala being above His creation); the issue of al-Harf (the Word) and as-Sawt (the Voice) about the Glorious Qur’an.
I used to be confused about the different sayings -which are found in the contemporary books with respect to these matters- whether ta’wil (manipulative distortion) and tahrif should be made of the Attributes.
Whether to take them as they are and halt at their meanings, or whether to affirm them without ta’wil, ta’til, tashbih or tamthil. But I found in the texts of the Book of Allah (jalla jalaluhu - His glory be glorified) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), a great clarity about the reality of these Attributes, and likewise with respect to affirming al-uluww (the highness of Allah) al-Fawqiyyah, al-Harf and as-Sawt.
Then I found in the books of the mutakallimun (the People of theological rhetoric and innovated speech) -the later Scholars- their making of ta’wil (of Allah’s Attribute) of al-Istiwa (Allah ascending above the creation) by saying that it meant qahr (His dominance) and istilaa (His conquering); ta’wil of (Allah’s Attribute) of an-Nuzul by saying that it meant His command descends; ta’wil of (the Attribute of) al-Yadain (the Hands of Allah) to mean His Power or His Favor; and ta’wil of al-Qadam (the Foot of Allah) to mean the fine reward with their Lord; and the likes of this.
Along with this, I found that they claimed that the Speech of Allah (jalla jalaluhu) meant a speech existent in qaa’im bidh-dhaat (His Self) with word, but not with voice. They claimed that these words are a mode of expression from the meaning existing with Himself! From those who held to these sayings were a group of people, who had high status in my heart, such as a group of Ash’ari Shaafi’i Scholars -and I am upon the madhhab of Shaafi’i- knowing the obligation of my religion and its rulings.
So I found the likes of these great Shaikhs adhering to the likes of such statements -and they were my teachers- and I had complete faith in them, their nobility and their knowledge. However, despite all this, I found my heart having a hatred for such ta’wiel such that I could not find any tranquility and peace with it.
It caused my chest to feel constricted, rather than causing it to expand…And I used to fear affirming the Attributes of al-uluww, al-Istiwaa and an-Nuzul, fearing that it would imply hasr (limiting and encompassing Allah by His creation) and tashbih (resembling Allah to His creation i.e., anthropomorphism).
However, despite this, when I studied the Book of Allah (azza wajal - the mighty the sublime) and the Sunnah of His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam), I found in them texts pointing to the reality of these meanings. I found that the Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) clarified that which came from his Lord, as well as describing Him with them.
And know -without any doubt at all- that he used to have present in his noble gatherings the Scholar and the ignorant person, the one with sharp intelligence and the not so sharply intelligent, the Arab and the non-Arab.....to be continued.

❐ Imam Abu Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Juwayni
❐ Part - 2
🔰However, I did not find anything by which he followed up such texts with which he used to describe his Lord -neither with another text, nor with anything that would cause the meanings to removed from their haqiqah (real meaning) or cause ta’wil to be made of them; such as the ta’wil of my Shaikhs and Scholars from the mutakallimin- such as their ta’wil of al-Istiwaa to istilaa, and their ta’wil of an-Nuzul (Allah’s descending) to mean that His Command descends; and other such things.
💠And I did not find that he used to warn the people from having faith in what was apparent in his speech describing His Lord, whether it was concerning al-Fawqiyyah (Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala being above His creation), or al-Yadain (the Hands of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala), or other than them.
⭕️And there is nothing recorded from him which proves that these Attributes have another inner meaning, other than what is apparent from their meaning…So when we came to know this, and came to hold this as our aqidah (belief), we were then preserved from the doubts of ta'wil, the blindness of tatil (divesting Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala totally or partially of His Attributes) and the foolishness of tashbih and tamthil (likening Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala to His creation).
💢We then affirmed for Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) the Uluww (highness) of our Lord (jalla jalaluhu) and His Fawqiyyah and that He istawaa (ascended) over His Arsh (Throne) in a manner that befits His Majesty and Greatness. So the truth is very clear in this and the chest will readily accept this, for indeed tahrif (distortion of the text) is rejected by the correct and sound intellect, such as tahrif of Istiwaa to Istilaa (conquering) and other than this.
💠Likewise wuquf (affirming the wording of the Attributes, but halting at their meanings) is also blindness and ignorance, since we know that our Lord described Himself with these Attributes that we may come to know Him by them. So -in our knowing Him- we do not halt at affirming the wordings of the Attributes, whilst negating what is intended from their meanings.
🔰Since He did not describe Himself to us by these Attributes, except that we may affirm what He has described Himself with, not that we halt at them. Likewise tashbih and tamthil are also foolishness and ignorance...Thus, the one whom Allah (jallaa jalaluhu) causes to agree upon the affirmation (of His Attributes) -without tahrif, takyif and wuquf- then he has indeed agreed upon what is intended for them.
🍃If He (jalla jalaluhu) wishes...And Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) expanded my chest about the state of those Shaikhs who made ta’wil of al-Istiwaa to istilaa and it is my belief that they do not understand the Attributes of the Lord (jalla jalaluhu) except with what befits the creation. Thus they do not understand al-Istiwaa of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) as it truly befits Him so this is why they distort the words from its proper context and deny what Allah has described Himself with......to be continued.

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]
💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,
‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."
[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]
