Defending Shaykh Ramadan Al Bouti from slander and false accusations.

Thread -

Disclaimer* the video's used in the thread were not translated by me, the translation is a bit off but you will understand the gist of what Shaykh Ramadan was saying. This thread does not deal with every single accusation against him.

1st accusation - Shaykh Ramadan was trying to flee syria. The following video is from an interview he did on the day of his passing.

2nd accusation - The Awliya of Syria were against his stance. Again false.

Shaykh Ramadan went to see Shaykh Shukri and asked Shaykh Shukri about his stance. Shaykh Shukri replied, 'It is the essence of wisdom'. This was witnessed by many people including Shaykh Mahmoud Bouti.

3rd accusation - Shaykh Ramadan allowed prostration to a picture of Assad. Again false.

4th accusation - He accused all of the protestors in syria of not praying. Again false, he was only referring to one specific group.

5th accusation - He compared the Syrian army to the Sahabah. This isn't completely false but he gives 2 conditions in order for that to happen:
1) Affirm God's truth
2) To repent

6th accusation - He never criticised Bashar, other leaders and the army. False. Here he is telling them to repent.

Here he tells them to repent again.

In conclusion - Many of his clips were distorted and placed out of context. Enemies tried to assassinate his character and they tried to distort his actual position.

Many people don't realise the difficult position he was placed in. He was the bridge in between the scholars and the government. He was trying to save the country from unnecessary bloodshed whilst fighting off foreign powers from destroying Syria.

And to the people slandering him, you will be asked on the day of judgement and you will be ordered to prove such accusations. May Allah guide us All.
