Shaykh ‘Allamah Rabi’ bin Hadi’s Advice to the Callers

Abu ‘Iyaad Amjad bin Muhammad Rafiq These are beneficial words of encouragement, advice and admonition from the Salafi scholar, Shaykh Rabi’ bin Hadi, regarding calling to Tawhid, following the correct methodology (manhaj), unity and brotherhood, ways of advising and correcting, refuting innovators and deviants and caution against exaggeration in religion, scholars and callers. The Shaykh said: “The one who has knowledge and knows the manhaj of the Salaf and sees that there are clear innovations in front of him, he clarifies them for the sake of Allah, out of sincerity of purpose for the sake of Allah (the Majestic and Most High) and out of protection for this religion…” and: “I advise you, O brothers, that you traverse the path of the Righteous Salaf in learning, manners and calling (others). Do not be harsh and be without exaggeration upon a call that is accompanied with forbearance, mercy and lofty manners. By Allah, the Salafi da’wah will spread (through this)” and: “Present beneficial knowledge to the people and do not enter into disputes with the people and nor among yourselves. You have read in this book that the Salaf used to flee (and warn) from debates.”
