Shaikh Ali al-Jifri on the elements of ‘Nasb’ among some in the Ummah

الجفري يبين نصب الوهابية وحقدهم على رسول وأهل بيته

Summary:

Allahumma Salli Ala Sayyidina Muhammad

1. With the Ummah busy with their sins, issues, worldly concerns, there are some who are upon the Minbars, speaking in the name of the Din saying: The parents of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi was sallam) are in the hell-fire. They say this with such certainty as if they personally entered the Jannah and looked for them, only to not find them there.

If this was the only issue, we would say that it is a slip and an error and may Allah reward them, however, there is more to it. They are using all of their energy and resources to spread this and other things.

2. Madinah al-Munawwarah ….

2. Madinah al-Munawwarah (the Enlightened city of the Prophet-sallallahu alayhi was sallam) should instead be called Madinah al-Nabawiyyah (the Prophetic City) as if it is not really enlightened with Nur (light).3. Aal al-Bait (the Prophetic household). They say: ‘who are these Aal al-Bait? They are no different than us. You too can be like Hussain if you do as Hussain did.’

4. Sahabah: they say: ‘The companions were men, and they are correct and they err as well.

5. Seeking blessings with the effects of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi was sallam): they say: ‘No! All of his effects are broken and blessing can not be sought from them!’

6. Salah upon the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi was sallam): They say: ‘Dont raise your voices when sending salutations to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi was sallam). That is an innovation.

7. Praising the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi was sallam): they say: ‘Dont do that, this is extremism. The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi was sallam) said: ‘Do not go to extremes with praising me as the Christians did with Isa ibn Maryam…’

These things are all connected. If it was just the issue concerning the parents of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi was sallam) then it would not be a problem. We would just say that it was a slip and may Allah reward you. However, all of these matters are interconnected.

8. Visiting the Messenger (sallallahu alayhi was sallam): they say: Dont visit him. It is not a pillar of the Hajj or Umrah, nor it is an obligation of it or sunnah. We say: ‘Indeed, it is not a condition of Hajj or Umrah, but it is a condition of love-something that you do not know.
