The Path

Hadhrat Abdullah bin Umar radiyalaahu anhuma had mentioned, "Whoever wishes to follow the way of another, should follow the ways of those who have passed away. These were the companions of Muhammad sallalaahu alayhi wassalam, who were the best people of this Ummah. Their hearts were most pious, their knowledge was deepest and they were least pretentious. They were people whom Allah Ta'ala had chosen to be companions of His Nabi sallalaahu alayhi wassalam and for the transmission of His Deen. You people should emulate their character and mannerisms. By the Rabb of the Kaabah! The Sahabah radiyalaahu anhum of Rasulullah sallalaahu alayhi wassalam were correctly guided."

The Letter From Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullah to Dr Muhammad Taqiyyudin Al-Hilaly rahimahullah



The Letter of Sheikh Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullah to Dr. Muhammad Taqiyyudin Al-Hilaly rahimahullah.

No. 889/KH 
Date: 10 Shawwal 1403H (21 July 1983)

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

From Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz, to Respected Brother Dr. Muhammad Taqiyyudin Al-Hilaly, may Allah give taufeeq for all goodness. Aamin.

Assalamu'alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.

Your letter dated 12 Sha'ban 1403H (25 May 1983) has arrived, may Allah  convey what you hinted about taking our opinion to stop the wages of Brother Ahmad Al-Muhany because he was in khuruuj with  the tablighi jamaat.

I now convey to you that my opinion is to continue giving him the regular salary which we dispatch through you. The reason being that going out in khuruuj with them certainly does not include as a reprehensible  journey. They do jaulah (around) cities and villages, establish relationship with leaders of the Muslims and members of the public, attending their ijtema in Bangladesh, etc., which is attended by leaders and members of the public, is indeed within the context of dakwah ilallah. This information is in accordance with what is reported by the masyaikhs that we had sent to attend their ijtema in Bangladesh last year. You liken your reason in condemning their khuruuj to what is mentioned by Hafidh Ibn Kathir rahimahullah, about the people who merely in intense worship who walk on the surface of the earth, in solitude on the mountain tops, caves, and forests, is contrary to facts and their practices.

I ask Allah to grant us taufeeq to do what pleases Him. For He is Most Gracious and Most Noble.

Wassalamu'alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
