A Wahhābī preacher was dragged from the minbar in Sudan after rejecting the wasīlah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, a doctrine affirmed by Sunni scholarship throughout the centuries, from the earliest generations of Islām to the scholars of our own time. And frankly, the deeper scandal is not that he was removed, it is that such a voice was ever given a minbar from which to preach contempt for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Masjid of Allāh is not a Najdī laboratory for manufacturing cold hearts. It is not a classroom for rehearsing the language of tashdīd, tajsīm, tabdīʿ, and contempt. It is a house in which the hearts of the believers are turned toward Allāh, and toward love, adab, and taʿẓīm for His Beloved ﷺ. The Qurʾān itself teaches us the majesty of the Messenger ﷺ. Allāh raises his mention, commands the believers to send ṣalāh upon him, and teaches us to approach the Messenger ﷺ with reverence. So what kind of “tawḥīd” is this that produces contempt for tawassul, hostility toward the awliyāʾ, suspicion of the ṣāliḥīn, and a barren tongue whenever the name of Rasūl Allāh ﷺ is mentioned? Tawḥīd does not require you to strip the universe of adab. Tawḥīd does not mean denying the means through which Allāh chooses to bestow His mercy. Tawḥīd means knowing that Allāh alone is the true Faʿʿāl, while the prophets, awliyāʾ, and ṣāliḥīn are honoured means, wasāʾil, through which His grace reaches His creation. We do not worship the means. We honour the means because we honour the One who chose and honoured them. And who is greater in honour than the one whom Allāh made His Beloved ﷺ? This is where the disease of the Wahhābī temperament reveals itself: it mistakes dryness for purity, harshness for courage, and contempt for the awliyāʾ for tawḥīd. But the path of Ahl al-Sunnah is not the path of spiritual barrenness. It is the path of tawḥīd with maʿrifah. Of ʿaqīdah with adab. Of sharīʿah with iḥsān. Of knowledge with maḥabbah. Of the tongue with ṣalawāt. Of the heart with taʿẓīm. So let the minbar remain a place where hearts are brought nearer to Allāh, not a platform from which the honour of Rasūl Allāh ﷺ is diminished. For we will never apologise for loving the one whom Allāh honoured. We will never apologise for sending ṣalawāt upon him. We will never apologise for tawassul through him. And we will never accept the transformation of the masājid into laboratories of spiritual Wahhābism.

The Prophet ﷺ said, “One who walks with a tyrant, knowing full well that he is a tyrant, in order to strengthen him is such as has already left the fold of Islām.” [Al-Bayhaqī] Kaʿb ibn Ujrah reported: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came to us while we were a group of nine. The Prophet ﷺ said, “Verily, tyrannical rulers will come after me and whoever affirms their lies and supports their oppression has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him, and he will not drink with me at the fountain in Paradise. Whoever does not affirm their lies and does not support their oppression is part of me and I am part of him, and he will drink with me at the fountain in Paradise.” [Sunan an-Nasāʾī] Abū Mūsā reported: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, “Verily, Allāh the Exalted will give respite to the oppressor until He seizes him and he cannot escape.” Then the Prophet ﷺ recited the verse, ‘Such is the seizure of your Lord when He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Verily, His seizure is painful and severe.’ [Muttafaqun ʿalayh]

Some Chinese brothers reciting Yā Nabī salām ʿalayka at the tomb attributed to the noble Ṣaḥābī, Sayyidunā Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ, in Guangzhou, China, following Jumuʿah prayers. Sayyidunā Saʿd ibn Abī Waqqāṣ was the 13th Companion to embrace Islām and the first Muslim to bring Islām to China in the year 650. Though he did not speak a word of Chinese, the radiance of his blessed face inspired many to accept Islām through him.

There are numerous cases in Pakistan where children have tragically lost their lives, because the pseudo-Ṣūfī (‘Haq’ ‘Khateeb’ ‘Badshah’) assured their families that medical treatment was unnecessary and that his own “chuff” (blowing) would be sufficient for healing. Such deception has led to devastating consequences. May Allāh Tabāraka wa Taʿālā expose these fraudsters and protect the people from them.
