Hakikat Kitabevi Publications No: 10 answer to an enemy of islam

“The most atrocious, the basest people will
come to preside over Muslims,” we would have been astonished at
the unfortunate fact that this man occupied a position of issuing

fatwâs in such a Muslim country as Egypt. O you the base heretic!
Instead of making fun of Muslims and having preachers act in
plays, why don’t you come forward honestly and challenge Jews,
Christian missionaries, freemasons and communists? No, you
cannot even look askance at them. Masons are your masters,
patrons.
Who do you think you are being deceitful with the words, “to
rescue Muslims from the nuisance of taqlîd... and to help them to
follow the Book (the Qur’ân al-kerîm), the Sunna and the way of
the Salaf”? Your words contradict each other. Isn’t it taqlîd to
cling to the Book, to the Sunna and to the path of the Salaf? And
this taqlîd that you wish for is possible only by following one of the
four a’immat al-madhâhib. To abandon that taqlîd, which you call
“nuisance,” will mean to abandon the taqlîd of the book, of the
Sunna and of the path of the Salaf, thus to go out of Islam; what
you want is this wrong taqlîd. Rasûlullah (sall-Allâhu ’alaihi wa
sallam) declared: 
“He who interprets the Book and the Hadîth
according to his own view becomes a non-Muslim.” You want to
drive Muslims to the taqlîd which is wrong. Take the mask off your
face! Reveal the fact that you are an enemy of Islam so that we
may answer you. For the time being we quote one line from one of
your fellow freemasons:
“Do you think of everybody as blind, and all the people as
stupid?”
Do not insult the Muslims of the first century by calling them
“shepherds”! Don’t represent them as ignorant! They were all
learned, whether they were shepherds, fighters or commanders.
They were all mujtahids. Certainly they could get knowledge
directly from the Book.
Since 1150 (1737), lâ-madhhabism, that is, the bid’a of
disapproving the scholars of Ahl as-Sunna, has been spread over
the world. The ignorant in Saudi Arabia have been the leaders of
this destructive and disunionist activities which harm Islam from
the inside and makes brothers-in-Islam enemies to one another.
The lâ-madhhabî, who came to power by attacking the Ahl as-
Sunna Muslims and plundering and killing under torture
thousands of innocent women and children, founded a state with
the help of the British in 1350 (1932) and began propagandizing
through the organizations in various countries which they
established with diplomatic power and the financial support of
hundreds of thousands of gold coins annually. Through the
publications that are full of lies and slanders, they deceive ignorant

people and try to annihilate Islam from within.
Wahhâbism was founded by Muhammad ibn ’Abd al-
Wahhâb. He was born in Najd in 1111 [1699], and died in 1206
[1792]. His father and his brother Sulaimân ibn ’Abd al-Wahhâb
were pure Muslims and Ahl as-Sunna scholars. Like other
scholars in the Hijaz, they, too, explained to Muslims that
Wahhâbism was a false path. Many books were written to protect
Ahl as-Sunna, which was true Islam. For example, Sulaimân ibn
’Abd al-Wahhâb, in order to admonish his brother, wrote at the
beginning of his work:
“Allâhu ta’âlâ sent Muhammad (’alaihi ’s-salâm) as the
Prophet for all human beings. He explained everything that was
necessary for men in the Book,
