Certainly Allaah has gien much importance to the matter o justice and airness in this perected religion o al-
Islaam. In the !"#$$%& Allaah the Most ligh has mentioned to us that le sent lis Messengers with clear proos
and eidences so that mankind may uphold justice. le has stated in lis Glorious Book:

loJeeJ we bove seot Oot Messeoqets wltb cleot ptoofs, ooJ teveoleJ wltb tbem tbe 5ctlptote ooJ tbe bolooce (jostlce) tbot mookloJ

lurthermore, Allaah the Mighty and Majestic has commanded us in seeral '($$) o the !"#$$% to uphold justice,
not only with those beloed to us but een with our enemies:


O oo wbo belleve stooJ oot fltmly fot jostlce, os wltoesses to Allb, eveo lf tbls be oqolost yootselves, ot oot poteots, ot oot klo, be

Allaah has also commanded us with justice and equality in the !"#$$% as le has also ordered lis Messenger
to preach this.

[an-nahl: 90]

And le the Most ligh said:

Say (O Muhammad): My Lord has commanded justice [al-Araaf: 29]

\hile Allah has mentioned in other '($$) that le loes those who are just.

1hereore, the matter o justice and equality towards all is an aair o which must be gien immense importance so
that we may obtain the pleasure o Allaah the Most ligh and be distanced rom lis punishment. In addition, i we
were to take a look into the *"%%$+ o the Messenger then his establishment o justice and his implementation o
the commandments o Allaah will become maniest. \e take this opportunity to mention one example o this
rom his blessed *"%%$+ which indicates the precedence that the Messenger gae to upholding truth and justice
een with the most beloed o people to him.

It is reported by Al-Bukhari (3733) and Muslim (1688) on the authority of Aisha may Allaah be pleased with her-
that she mentioned:

5otely Ootoesb became concerned about the affair of the woman from Makhzoom (a known tribe) who stole. So they said who will
speok to tbe Messeoqet on her behalf? They then said And who is brave (enough) to Jo so beslJes usoomob tbe beloveJ ooe of
tbe Messeoqet . 5o usoomob spoke to blm (l.e. tbe Messeoqet), tbeo tbe Messeoqet solJ (lo tespoose) Do you seek
intercession in a prescribed punishment from the prescribed punishments of Allaah? Then he (the Messenger ) stooJ op ooJ
delivered a lecture and he said O mookloJ loJeeJ tbe people befote yoo wete JesttoyeJ becoose, lf o petsoo of ooblllty stole tbey
oseJ leove blm be, wblle lf o weok petsoo stole tbey woolJ tbey woolJ cotty oot tbe ptesctlbeJ poolsbmeot oo blm. ='7 ?4 =%%00)2 6$
@0(630) ()* 70+A)(*/ "$ B+)03307 )07 ,("%*' C &"+%7 9+( "$$ )*/ )07D

In the preious -$.//)+ we clearly see the Messengers implementing o justice and equity to the extent that he
inormed the companions that een i his own beloed daughter latimah may Allaah be pleased with her- was to
steal he would hae cut o her hand. \hile the loe that the Messenger had or latimah and how she was
rom the dearest o his children to him is not hidden rom us.
It is reported by Al-Bukhari ,5230, and Muslim ,2449, on the authority o Al-Miswar bin Makhramah may Allaah
be pleased with him- that the Messenger said about latimah:

5otely sbe ls o pott of my flesb, l om JlscomfotteJ by tbot wblcb Jlscomfotts bet ooJ l om botmeJ by tbot wblcb botms bet.
\et this loe would neer hinder him rom ulilling the commandments o Allaah towards her or anyone
else, i there be need and this is the #$%& &'%()*#+ (,- .%/#*0& o al-Islaam.

1hereore, we as '+0"12Sunnah wal Jamaah should be the oremost in ollowing his guidance i we certainly look
orward to the meeting with our Lord, as Allaah has said:




loJeeJ lo tbe Messeoqet of Allb (MobommoJ ) yoo bove o qooJ exomple to follow fot nlm wbo bopes lo (tbe Meetloq wltb) Allb

Ater this introduction then we are all aware o the recent attacks

which hae been posted on the site Manhaj.com.
\here one or more 3$4$+//0 ,unknown indiiduals, hae authored seeral articles which contain much lies, slander
and belittlement o the noble Shaykh \ahya bin Alee Al-lajooree. \et with this these ainthearted indiiduals hae
chosen to conceal their identities, most likely out o cowardliness and ear o becoming known to people, while it is
Allaah who has more right to be eared.

the 3$1+$$(5+ and students in Darul-laddeth in Damaaj to be an innoators. \hilst they hae made the basis o
this injustice judgment o theirs several supposed destructive deviations of which they and those who they blindly

In addition to this, rom the errors which they hae also used as a means in the expelling o tens o

1his is while they are aware that Shaykh \ahya has criticized the extremism which is done in praise o him on
dierent occasions and has clearly stated that he is not pleased with this. loweer, these indiiduals as well as

poems which were gathered by the brother Abu Abdillaah Khalid Al-Ghurbaani and others which contain in them
0)&($ &=#$&1*/1 in praise of Shaykh Rabee may Allaah grant him success- hae been translated -by the aid o
Allaah- and will be coneyed to the noble readers Allaah willing. 1he intent behind this is ,4# to belittle or
slander Shaykh Rabee as we believe that Shaykh Rabee is not pleased with this type of extremism himsel, but
rather they hae been translated or two extremely imperatie matters.
Firstly for the noble readers to know the statement of Shaykh Rabee may Allaah grant him good health and
well-being- in the translated audio which was taped and circulated without his knowledge or permission where
he said >3& /#%-&,#/ 46 ():;(.44$&& ($& &=#$&1*/#/ 74//&//*,< &=#$&1*/1 23*03 3(/ ,4 &'%*8()&,#&
?1(1 (#3:>3('()(*,@ ?1(1 (#3:>3('()(*, ,the Imam o Jinn and Mankind, and so on... 1his statement is
an error which has occurred from Shaykh Rabee may Allaah pardon us and him- rom two angles:

,a, Shaykh Rabees assumption that the students of Shaykh Yahya are extremists possessing extremism which
has no equal 3(/ 5&&, 7$48&, *,04$$&0#. Being that some of Shaykh Rabees 8&$+ 42, /#%-&,#/ hae
gone to extreme levels in praising Shaykh Rabee may Allaah grant him success- in poetry in, a manner
equal to the praise o the students o Shaykh \ahya towards him. Rather, in some cases the poets who
have praised Shaykh Rabee have even surpassed what was mentioned about Shaykh \ahya as will become
clear to the noble reader by the will o Allah -.


,b, Shaykh Rabees statement ?1(1 (#3:>3('()(*,@ ?1(1 (#3:>3('()(*, whilst using this as a proo or
the extremism o the students o Shaykh \ahya is also incorrect or seeral reasons. lirstly, the one who
mentioned these lines was 4,& *,-*8*-%() and ,4# ()) 46 #3& /#%-&,#/ 46 A3(+B3 C(3+(. \hile what is
known rom the religion o Al-Islaam that it is not permissible to place the ault o one person upon
another, let alone thousands o innocent students who were not pleased with this statement to begin with.
Allaah says in the noble Quraan:



J" H*/,"' *0/', 0'4 -,6'1 *K9*H( 0A06',( )63,*%$ -"'%412 0'7 '" ?*0/*/ "$ ?+/7*', ,)0%% ?*0/ ()* ?+/7*' "$ 0'"()*/.
1beo ooto oot lotJ ls yoot tetoto, so ne wlll tell oo tbot wbetelo oo bove beeo Jlffetloq." [al-Anaam: 164]


lurthermore, the poet Abu Zaid Al-lajooree who said these lines repented immediately ater he was
notiied about his error and this was approximately 64%$ +&($/ (<4. Not to mention that this poet did not
only repent but rather he also wrote lines o poetry on dierent occasions clariying his repentance and
retraction rom his error.
6
Neertheless, he continues to be condemned and erbally assaulted or this

6
lrom Lhe llnes of poeLry whlch he has wrlLLen ln repenLance are :
***
O you who does not see other than our sins *** And does not mention except the sin of our callers
***
Im repenting! Im repenting! Im repenting! *** Im repenting from everything you have detested!
***
Im repenting from that line of poetry (i.e. the Imam of Jinn and Mankind) *** which the retraction from it has already passed if you have
not realized.

error which he has retracted rom and this is 477$&//*4, 23*03 */ *17&$1*//*5)&. Shaykh ul-Islaam ibn
1aymiyah may Allaah hae mercy on him- said in relation to the dispute which took place between Aadam
and Musa may peace and salutation be upon them both- this is because Aadam may peace be upon
him- had certainly repented rom the sin (,- #3& 4,& 234 $&7&,#/ 6$41 ( /*, */ )*B& 3& 234 3(/ ,4 /*,9

1he second reason why these poems are being introduced to the Lnglish speaking public is that due to the
poems which contain therein extreme praise o Shaykh \ahya may Allaah presere him- we hae all witnessed
the seere attacks o the unknown indiiduals who hae slandered him due to them. 1hese attacks hae een
reached the extent that they hae hinted towards Shaykh \ahya being $)29$$:+"") ,a deity worshipped besides

1he brother Abu Abdillah Ahmed bin Ali Al-Awaadhi may Allaah grant him success- reported the ollowing lines

Ibn lazm may Allaah hae mercy on him- in his book Al-lisal il-Milal wan-Nihal ,5,18, stated: Certainly Allaah

1his explanation o the preious '($+ by the Imam Ibn lazm may Allaah hae mercy on him- clearly indicates

Rabee is in plain contradiction to this '($+.

Secondly in the Jaami of Imam At-1rimidhi ,2032, it is authentically reported by Al-Albani and others that Ibn

exaggerated in his praise o Shaykh \ahya may Allaah grant him success- by stating the ollowing lines:

wipe his shoes (i.e. Shaykh Yahyas) the length of a lifetime then this would be little.

\hat is important to know, is that the poet who stated these lines was only speaking 4, 3*/ 42, (004$- #34%<3

abouL Shaykh Rabee are much, much worse and more abysmal Lhan whaL was sLaLed abouL Shaykh ?ahya and Lhe ald of Allaah ls soughL.


\hat then will the unknown author as well as those who aided him in sin and transgression say in response to this
:+"0" towards Shaykh Rabee. \ill they also reer to him with their ollowing statement

Or will they remain totally silent without maniesting any criticism towards this and expose their true colors to the
readers as being a deious people who hae no real concern o deending the religion rom extremism! \e leae
the readers to judge.

Second Instance of Extremism found in Praise of Shaykh Rabee>

L411&,#($+: 1he :+"0" which is present in these lines speaks or itsel and is not much need o prolonging its
clariication. 1he poet claims here that there is nothing which likens Shaykh Rabee may Allaah grant him success-
and that we are incapable o inding anything equialent to him.

\hat should be clear to all is that no *$0$7// who knows what Shaykh Rabee has put forward in calling to the *"%%$+
o the Messenger upon the Methodology o the *$0$7"12*$0<+ will deny his eorts. loweer, we must restrain
ourseles rom going beyond bounds in praise o anyone as the Messenger has prohibited this and we hae been
commanded by Allaah to ollow the Messenger i we truly loe lim .

1hereore, we should rerain rom this type o extreme praise. \hereas we should know well that these types o
statements may in turn lead some o those who lack comprehension o the religion to actually consider them as
true. \hilst it is Allaah alone who has no equal nor is there anything which resembles lim. Allaah says:

\hile it is reported by Abu Dawood in his Sunan ,985, on the authority o Mihjan bin Al-Arda may Allaah be
pleased with him- that the Messenger may the peace and salutations o Allah be upon him- entered the masjid and
behold there was a man who was completing his prayer and he was saying in the 9$1+$+". ,the sitting in the prayer,:

1he aorementioned eidences plainly illustrate that it is Allaah ()4,& 234 3(/ ,4 &'%() ,4$ */ (,+#3*,<

they %,$&/#$*0#&-)+ hae no equal or that nothing is comparable to them, then they hae contradicted this great
oundation in the D'&&-(3 o the Muslims.

On the other hand, many o people including mysel cannot help but to wonder what these indiiduals would hae
done i these lines were to be stated about Shaykh \ahya may Allaah presere him-. 1hey most likely would hae
hastened to making another one o their deceptie headlines claiming that the poet has compared Shaykh \ahya to
Allaah or something o the sort, and we seek reuge in Allaah.

stated these lines has repented and Allaah knows best. loweer, a questioned may be put orward which is did
Shaykh Rabee may Allaah grant him success- rebuke and reprimand the poet who said these words about him as
he demanded Shaykh \ahya to do with the poet who reerred to him as the Imam o Jinn and Mankind or was his
repentance alone suicient!

In conclusion to this irst gathering, we again call or those indiiduals who continue to iliy and slander the poets
who oer praised Shaykh \ahya een ater they hae repented rom the error in their poems, to likewise maniest
their displeasure and hatred o this :+"0" towards Shaykh Rabee as they did with Shaykh Yahya and his followers.
