The "hujjah" that was "established" by MIAW on fellow Muslims was nothing but a warped reconstruction of Islam & the Shahada, which he even claimed was something 'divinely inspired', and not taught to him through his teachers (who he claimed were ignorant of la ilaha il Allah).
“Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab and his followers are people of innovation because they contradict all of that which has been handed down.”

~ Hanbali Scholar & Judge, Muhammad Ibn Fairuz [d. 1801].
“Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab was shown to have reached the level of a false Prophet and a liar of the same capacity as Musailimah, Sajjah the false Prophetess, Tulayha & others. As for his father, he was a pious man.”

~ Hanbali Scholar Abdullah Ibn Dawud al-Basri [d.1810]
"The Khawarij corrupted the meaning of the Book and the Sunnah... This can be witnessed now in a cult that appeared in Al-Hijaz by the name of the Wahhabis. They think they are upon something, but they are only liars."

~ Maliki scholar, Imam Ahmad as-Sawi [d.1826].
“They [the Wahhabis] believe that only they are true Muslims, and those who differ from their creed are polytheists. Based on this, they consider the killing of Ahl as-Sunnah and their scholars as permissible”.

~ Hanafi Scholar, Imam Muhammad ibn Abidin [d. 1836].
The Wahhabis “marched with big armies to the area of Ta’if... they lay siege to the Muslim area, subdued them, killing men, women and children. They looted the Muslims’ belongings & possessions. Only a few people escaped their barbarism.”

~ Shafi'i Scholar, Imam Dahlan [d.1886]
As for their "hujjah" being "established", it's exactly the same as ISIS going to a Muslim land and "establishing the proof" before murdering and raping all its people. A fair representation:

MIAW's own admission claiming his teachers did not know the meaning of the Shahada is here, where he also claims it was divinely inspired (i.e. had no precedent in traditional Islam, the Qur'an, the hadith, the Salaf):

Finally, how MIAW changed the meaning of the Shahada with proof from Qur'an, classical Tafsir and the words of the Salaf is here:
[Essentially he changes the meaning of "ilah" and plugs his new definition into the Shahada, thus transforming its meaning.]

HOW THE EARLY WAHHABIS MURDERED ONE OF THEIR TOP SCHOLARS

When sects like the Wahhabis have people who go against their interests, there’s only one way they like to deal with them...

even if it's one of their top scholars… 🧵 Image
The Wahhabis have a history of mass slaughtering Muslims. This is well documented in their own history books by Ibn Ghanam/Ibn Bishr. Of course, the Wahhabis label those killed as “mushriks”, but this is no different from Israel killing Palestinian civilians as evil “terrorists”.
How about when Wahhabis turn on THEIR OWN people who no longer serve their interests? Indeed, this happened notoriously when the Wahhabi leader, Abdul Aziz Ibn Saud murdered his own Wahhabi fighters, the Ikhwan, slaughtering them with machine guns supplied by his British allies.

On Salafi claim that Trinity Tawhid is proved in the Qur'an.
An example of another Tawhid is “Tawhid Al-'Afāl”: that is, God is the real Creator of all actions and consequences as explained by scholars like explained by Imam Muhammad Nafis al- Banjari (b. 1148 AH/1735 AD).
The Mu’tazila had denied that Allah creates man’s actions and believed instead that man has his own will and power within himself to control the action. Thus they negated this form of Tawhid.

The point is that to say it's ONLY 3 is a reprehensible bida.

This is an absolutely brilliant thread to prove the traditional Sunni position that seeking assistance through unseen beings is no more ‘shirk’ than seeking help through present humans. NEITHER any have power. No human, no angel, no jinn, seen or unseen: Power is ONLY with Allah.
To make a DISTINCTION in the assistance you might receive from a seen being compared to an unseen being is actually closer to SHIRK. Since this entails that you think the one in front of you, who is present, has some kind of intrinsic ability/power over the one that is not.
As Imam M. Ash-Shatti Al-Hanbali [d. 1929] said: “There is no difference between the state of life or death. Those who make a difference are actually much closer to idolatry... because their position is that the living have some sort of influence or intrinsic effect on things.”

SALAFI TEXTUAL DISTORTIONS

[Thread]

There are various ways in which the Salafi Sect manipulates our classical literature:

- Corrupt translations
- Adding footnotes to negate what’s in the actual text
- Changing words in their “edition”
- Completely omitting certain sections Image
This thread will be added to overtime to provide examples with scanned prints to show how manipulative the Salafi movement is in seeking to alter the religion of Islam.

They do this to IMPOSE their 18th century (khariji) ideology onto our classical texts.
SALAFI TEXTUAL DISTORTION: CASE 1

NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH RESPECT AND LOVE FOR THE PROPHET ﷺ

Short story of Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari and his wife, Umm Ayyub, may Allah be pleased with them.

[Thread].

1 of 16.
When the Prophet ﷺ emigrated to Madinah, he was without a home. Joyous crowds of elders and children gathered for his arrival, each anticipating to receive him; how wonderful to be the Prophet's ﷺ host/neighbour. Even the trees of the city would become lovingly attached to him.
It was never the etiquette of the Prophet ﷺ to make anyone feel left out. So in choosing the location of his future abode, he allowed his camel, Qaswa, to roam the city - guided by God - and where the camel would decide to sit, would be where he ﷺ would build his home & mosque.
