Assalamu Alaikkum wa rahamatullahi wa barkatuhu,

I advice you brother to read this thread - Shaykh Bin Baaz Refutes Sayyid Qutb.


Baarakallahu feekum

Wa `alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaahu wa barakaatuh

When we refute someone, we should be just and honest (not referring to you or anyone else, but generally).

Sayyid Qutb rahimahullaah, may have made certain mistakes and even if he was ash`ari (which doesn't seem like it) then we can still say that he was a hero and died in the way of Islaam.

It is important to know that he is not a scholar in `aqeedah, so if anything- it may seem like he has made mistakes in `aqeedah but this does not negate the good he has in his books nor the good he has done in the way of Islaam.

As the `Allaamah, shaykh Ibn Jibreen said that it is unjust to label someone a heritic without clear proofs. Many scholars spoke in support of Sayyid Qutb rahimahullaah like shaykh al-Albaani, the `Allaamah Bakr Abu Zayd and many others spoke about his services of Islaam and his work against the disbelieving tyrants of his time. It is worthy of note that even shaykh Ibn Baaz rahimahullaah wrote to the president of Egypt to intercede for Sayyid Qutb, before he got executed- as highlighted by shaykh Ibn Jibreen himself.

I would like to finish this by saying that shaykh al-Albaanee rahimahullaah said:

"- Yes, he should be refuted, but with clear guidance, not with zeal..he should be refuted and it’s important. Refutation of one who errs is not limited to a person or personalities. Every person who make mistakes when he writes about Islam with innovated methods and without bases from the Quran and Sunnah and our righteous salaf and four imams that are followed, should be refuted.
But it doesn’t mean that we become hostile to him…and that we forget all his good qualities!!! It’s sufficient that he is a Muslim and he is an Islamic writer – as much as he understood from Islam as I said earlier – (unclear words) …and he was killed for his calling to Islam and those who killed him were enemies of Islam (i.e. Gamal Abdul-Nasser and his government)."

The Golden Letter From al-'Allamah Bakr Abu Zaid to Rabee' al-Madkhali

1- I looked into the first page where the index of topics are listed, and I found topics against Sayyed Qutb, may Allah have mercy on him, that collects the basics of kufr, atheism, heresy, belief in Wahdat Al-Wujood [1], the saying that the Quran is created, the saying that it is permissible for other than Allah to legislate, the exaggeration in glorifying the attributes of Allah, not accepting the Mutawatir Ahadeeth, doubts in matters of Aqeedah that one must be certain about it, making takfeer on communities …etc from such topics that makes the believer’s hair stand on end. I felt sorry for the Muslim scholars around the world who did not pay attention to such destructive matters. Then I wondered why with such destructive matters, we find the spread of the books of Qutb on the horizon like the spread of the sun, the common people benefit from them, and even you (Rabee Al-Madkhali) in some of your writings. Therefore, I started comparing the topics with the contents. I found that the contents prove the opposite of other contents; and these topics, in general, are some provocative topics to withdraw the attention of the regular reader to bash Sayyed (Qutb), may Allah have mercy on him. I hate for you, me and all of the Muslims (to fall into) the zones of sin…It is from deception when a person talks about the good in front of whom he hates.

2- I looked, and found that this book lacks: the basis of the scholarly research, the Manhaj of criticism, the trust of quoting (from others sources), the trust of knowledge, (and) not transgressing on others.

Rabee even accused Sayyid of atheism. How can people take him seriously?

Wassalamu Alaikkum wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu,


Brother, I think you misunderstood me. I have nothing against the person, May Allah have mercy on Sayyid Qutb and I am aware of the fact that Shaykh Ibn Baaz wrote to the president to stop his execution. Whenever I post a refutation, it is not about the person. It is about his books. How do we know if we take the right things from his books or the wrong things? What if people take those mistakes and take it to be true? You yourself said once that if a person's aqeedah is not correct, it is better laymen like us don't take from them. This what I am trying to advice the brother... You know he is not a scholar, but there are people who consider him one and take everything from him, isn't it our duty to advice a person regarding that? Then, there are people who will stick to Sayyid Qutb no matter what proofs you show them. In past, I have taken from some people and I have left taking from them when they were refuted by people with knowledge. So, people make it more like a personal hate thing.

Let me clarify something, I don't have attachment to anyone regarding this issue. Rather, there are clear statements from Ulema regarding the refutation of Sayyid Qutb.

Also, even if a scholar or someone is refuted, the way of salafiyyah is to have manners while speaks about them. Some people who don't like Shaykh Rabee like to slander him with zeal and not provide proof.. they have personal attachment to Sayyid Qutb.. therefore they hate Shaykh Rabee.. How will you get knowledge by hating the scholars? ( This I am saying in General, not directed to you)

Baarakallahu feekum.

:salam2:

Do you know Shaykh Bakr Abu Zaid cursed the one who spread his four page reply to Shaikh Rabee' (which in fact contained nothing of substance) and which was demolished by Shaikh Rabee himself. Why are you showing your personal hate towards Shaykh Rabee?, dear brother. You even said "Shame on me", once. Why? Because, I see the proofs given by Ulema?

Here is regarding the statements you gave:

Introduction

All Praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of the World and prayers and peace upon His Messenger, his family and his companions. To proceed:

Then continuing in unveiling the ignorance and deception of the straying Qutubis who continue to defend the mockery of the Prophets of Allaah, and the slandering of the Caliphs of Islaam and the belittling and ridiculing of the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger, and the takfir of the whole of mankind, let alone of Banu Umayyah, and the innovations of the Jahmiyyah, Ash’ariyyah, Mu’tazilah, Khawarij and other than them – by their despicable action of accommodating, applauding, aggrandising, glorifying and raising the Innovators – using what they call "one of the chains of evidences" the very unfortunate and hasty four pages that came from Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid, who has since shown remorse for what he wrote, and who reviles the one who spreads them and calls for the curse of Allaah upon the one who distributes them – then we present to them and to those deceived by them – the reality of the matter, as it truly transpired – so that they withdraw, and repent from their deception of the common-folk: fooling them and deceiving them with matters concerning which they are not in a position to verify and ascertain - just like their deception with the very old praise of Imaam al-Albani for Qutb, which has since been abrogated, for Imaam al-Albani praised and commended the efforts of Shaikh Rabee’ in refuting and exposing the "ignorance and deviation" of Sayyid Qutb as we have outlined in part 3 of this series.

Statement 1

Shaikh Rabee Ibn Haadee wrote:

"In the Name of Allaah, Full of Mercy, Ever-Merciful (to His Believing Servants). All praise is due to Allaah and prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allaah, his companions and whoever follows his guidance. To proceed: Then the people upon falsehood have attached themselves to the letter of Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid in such a severe manner, like the drowning person holds onto a splinter (of wood).

However, in truth these papers are devoid of truth and only aid falsehood, without (containing) any knowledge, guidance or (having any basis in) the Illuminating Book. Rather to the one who acquires his understanding from Allaah and His Messenger and who respects his own intelligence and who respects the truth, they are more feeble than the house of a spider. And these papers do not suit the one to whom they are described (i.e. the author), due to what they contain of false lies.

It is for this reason that you see him fleeing from them. And some of the people of nobility, excellence and erudition rejected these writings, amongst the Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan and Shaikh Sa’d al-Hussain, and he wrote a refutation of this letter. Rather I say that anyone who respects the Salafi manhaj will reject what this letter contains. And I also mention that amongst those who checked over this letter after me was Shaikh Zaid Muhammad Haadee Madhkhalee. And (eventually) Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid disliked that his letter should be distributed, rather he reviled the one who distributed it.

And also amongst those who followed him (Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid) up and who requested him to make an apology was Shaikh Alee Hasan ‘Abdul-Hameed. So Shaikh Bakr Abu Zaid promised him that he would make an apology but he has not yet done so.

And what gives evidence to the fact that he was annoyed and dissatisfied with his letter is that he was not pleased that it should be distributed, neither did he have it printed and nor did he give it a title. However, the foolish minded, the aiders of falsehood, and of wahdatul-wujood and hulool and ta’teel of the Attributes and revilement of the Companions, rather the revilement of the Noble Messengers and attacking them and other such heresies which the books of Sayyid Qutb contain –they are the ones who printed and distributed it.

And Rabee’ bin Haadee Umayr al-Madkhalee refuted them (i.e. the books of Qutb) in four books, assisting the deen of Allaah and His Messengers in all of that and defending the Companions of the Seal of the Noble Messengers. Hence, it is sufficient dignity for Rabee’ that he defends the deen of Allaah and the those who carried and conveyed it. And it is sufficient humiliation and ignominy for the defenders of Sayyid that they have contested the truth and its carriers from among the Prophets and their Companions.

Rabee’ bin Haadee ‘Umayr al-Madkhalee.

Brother Idris, I advice you.. I do not slander Sayyid Qutb, but I stay away from him because Ulema have warned against his books. That is the way of Ahlus Sunnah. Why do you hate Shaykh Rabee and speak bad about him? Don't you know flesh of scholars is poisonous?

Since you or me do not know completely regarding these affairs, isn't it better we let people with knowledge and Ulema deal with this? Who gives you authority to speak bad about Shaykh Rabee?

:salam2:

Akhi who started this thread. Why do you want the books of two people who are porven to have a lot of mistakes in their books.

There is for sure books of righteous scholars who deal with the topic that you are searching for.

Instead of taking Tafsir al uran of Sayyid Qutub you shoul take that of Imam Ibn Katheer or Imam Al Qurtubi.

Akhi as your muslim brother I can really not advise you to read the books of Qutubs cause with that you surely will give Shaytan a chance to inflict a lot of damage in your Imam and Aqeedah.

Buddy, for Allah's sake, keep away from those guys. You want to get Islamic knowledge from Qutb: The father of modern day terrorism in Islamic societies, you'll see yourself wearing an explosive belt pretty soon, unless...you keep off!

Get your knowledge from peaceful knowledgeable people like Ibn Uthaimeen and Al Albani. Get the version of those who warn you, then choose for yourself. Be objective.

Sayyid Qutb made some serious errors which everyone should be aware about.


The Mistakes and Innovations of Sayyid Qutb

Amongst those who have criticised Sayyid Qutb include:

1. Shaikh Abdullaah ad-Dawaish - may Allaah have mercy upon him. He criticised 'az-Zilaal' a number of years ago and recorded over 180 mistakes in the matters of 'aqeedah and manhaj in his book 'al-Mawrid az-Zalaal fit -Tanbeeh alaa Akhtaa az-Zilaal'

2. And for his takfeer of the whole Ummah he was even criticised by some of the prominent figureheads of Ikhwaan, indicating that at his time, his ideas were not really widely accepted.

3. Shaikh Mahmood Muhammad Shaakir and others criticised him in his lifetime and refuted him regarding his reviling and slander of Uthmaan (ra) and the other Companions such as az-Zubair, Sa'd, Abdur-Rahmaan bin 'Awf and also some of the taabi'een.

4. Shaikh Muhammad Hamood an-Najdi in his book 'al-Qawl ul-Mukhtasir al-Mubeen fee Manhaahij al-Mufassireen' regarding his position on the Sifaat...

5. Muhammad Tawfeeq Barakaat in his book 'Sayyid Qutb Khulaasatu Hayaatihi' (p.176-177) said:In these pages we shall try - with the help of Allaah - to state the most important criticisms that have been directed at Sayyid Qutb - may Allaah have mercy upon him - whether it is positive or negative, trying to do that to the best of our capability. And to the extent of my knowledge, there has not appeared any Muslim writer who has been promoted to such a high level, or whose position has been disparaged and reduced to a low level as the likes of Sayyid Qutb - and we are not festering this second aspect [i.e Qutb's disparagement]. Let us then look at some of the things that have been said about him, generally:
1. It has been said: That he is a new prophet for a specific Jamaa'ah of the Muslims
2. It has been said: That he does not know what comes out of his head, the strong sentiments and fluency of the language led him to words which are but useless [no meaning behind them]
3. It has been said: That he is a man of imaginations/ideas, he makes his rulings upon whims and he flies in the wind/breeze of the soul therefore he does not correctly know the true state of affairs
4. It has been said: That he used to speak about the ahkaam (rulings) of the Sharee'ah without having any knowledge whatsoever of fiqh
5. It has been said: That he desires to bring about a massive barrier between the Muslims and the Islamic fiqh
6. It has been said: That he desired to cut the people off from the books of tafseer with the use of sentimental words in his Zilaal
7. It has been said: That he declared all the Muslims to be disbelievers and did not leave save a few people who were still revolving around Islam.
8. And many more things have been said about him

6. Shaikh Muhammad Naasir ud-Deen al-Albaanee who criticised him for his speaking with 'wahdatul-wujood' and said that he was merely a writer [adeeb], who was ignorant, with no knowledge, and that he did not call to the Tawheed of Allaah.

It is not correct therefore to claim that Sayyid Qutb is being criticised and disparaged now, in the Nineties by a single or perhaps two or three scholars. Rather a fair number of scholars have criticised him for many things and additionally he was criticised during his lifetimes very heavily for many matters in which he made grave and serious errors.

Amongst them are:

His rebuke and censure of the Prophet of Allaah, Moosaa (alaihis-salaam) and making him the object of ridicule.

Sayyid Qutb said, in at-Tasweer al-Fannee fil-Qur'aan: "Let us take Moosaa - he is the example of the fiery, excitable leader [quotes Qasas 28:15] and here his zealous , excitable spirit appeared, just as his emotions in favour of his nation were shown; but this emotional impulse quickly passed away - and he regained his composure - and this is what happens with the excitable folk. [Quotes Qasas 28:15-17, 18] - and this change shows a well-known manifestation, that of one who is afraid, distressed and expecting evil in every moment - and this is also the sign of the excitable (folk). Then along with this and along with the fact that he promissed that he would not aid the wrongdoers - then let us see what he did [quotes Qasas 28:18]. He desired to attack the other man just as he did the day before, and his zeal and emotion led him to forget his having sought forgiveness, his regret, his fear and his anxious watchfulness... So let us leave him here, to meet him again, at a second period in his life, ten years later. So perhaps he had calmed down and became a man who was of calm nature and gentle-natured. No indeed! So here he was, being called from the right hand side of the mountain: that he should throw down his staff, so he threw it down and it became a snake - moving quickly, he hardly saw it before he jumped and ran, not looking back and not turning aside... he was the same highly strung youth... ..."

His rebuke and censure of the Companions of Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) , especially Uthmaan (radiallaahu anhu). [The way of the Rawaafid] On this issue he was corrected and refuted by Mahmood Shaakir in his lifetime but he maintained his position and did not recant. His refusal is in the magazine ar-Risaalah vol 977 in the year 1952. This was after Mahmood Shaakir wrote four treatise against him the titles of three of them being: hukmun bilaa bayyinah, laa tasubboo ashaabee, al-alsinatu al-muftireen. They were published in the magazine al-Muslimoon starting in Muharram of the year 1372 hijri.In spite of this he still allowed the book 'Al-Adaalat ul-Ijtimaa'iyyah' to be published before his death.

He said in the aforementioned book for example:

"Indeed, it was a truly a trial that Alee was not the third of the Rightly Guided Caliphs" (p.191 5th edn & p.162 12th edn.)

"And we tend to the opinion that the khilaafah of Alee was the natural extension of the khilaafah of the two shaikhs [i.e. Abu Bakr and Umar] and that the era of Uthmaan was merely a gap in between" (p.206 5th edn.)

"And it is unfortunate that the khilaafah came to Uthmaan when he was an old man; his determination had weakened and did not reach the goals intended by Islaam; and his resolve was too weak to steadfastly face the plots of Marwaan and plots of Umayyah beyond that." (p.186 5th edn.)

"The Companions saw this deviation from the spirit of Islaam, and would call one another to al-Madeenah to save Islaam and to save Islaam from the trial; and the khalifah - in his old age, and his state brought about by advanced age - did not possess control of his affair to the expense of Marwaan. It is difficult to accuse the spirit of Islaam in the person of Islaam, but it is likewise difficult to pardon him for the error of the unfortunate occurrence of his taking the khilaafah whilst he was a weakened old man, who was surrounded by evil courtiers from Banu Umayyah..." (p.189 5th edn and its meaning is on p.161 of the 12th edn.)

His declaration of all societies to be disbelievers without exception. [The way of the Khawaarij]

And this is confirmed by Yoosuf al-Qardaawi in his book - The Priorities of the Islamic Movement (p.110) where he explains that the books of Sayyid Qutb appeared in which Qutb performs takfeer of all societies and in which he announces a destructive jihaad against the whole of mankind.

His saying that the Qur'aan is created. [The saying of the Jahmiyyah].

His saying that existence is one (wahdatul wujood). [The way of the Soofiyyah]

In his explanations of Surah Ikhlaas and also the beginning of Surah Hashr. He said, for example, in his Zilaal (6/4002): "Verily it is a single existence, and there is no other reality save that of His, and there is no true and real existence save His - and every other existing thing then its existence is an extension of His existence ... and when this perception becomes firmly established, the one which sees nothing in existence except the reality of Allaah..."

And in some of his other books, Sayyid Qutb affirms this and also praises the Soofees and their actions

He said in his Zilaal (6/3291): "And there are a people who worship Allaah, because they thank him for His favours which they cannot count - and behind this worship, they do not look for Paradise or Hellfire, nor to pleasure or punishment at all..."

His saying of the divine indwelling (hulool) and also Jabr (mankind having no free will - being compelled to act). [The way of the Jabariyyah].

His denial of some of the Attributes of Allaah in the way and style of the Jahmiyyah. [The way of the Mu'attilah]

For example his denial of Istiwaa by explaining it away - that it is merely an allegorical expression as he said in his Zilaal (3/1762) and also in many other places such as: (1/53), (/1/54), (3/1296), (4/2045), (5/2807)

And likewise his denial of the Meezaan (Scales) in the way and style of the Jahmiyyah (4/2481).

His attacks on the Miracles of the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) .

His refusal of the acceptance of ahaad hadeeth in matters of Aqeedah. [The way of the Mu'tazilah]

He said in his Zilaal (6/4008): "And the Aahaad hadeeth are not to be taken in the matters of aqeedah, the source is the Qur'aan - and something being mutawaatir is a condition [that has to be fulfilled] in accepting hadeeth in the issues of belief..." And in this he is more astray than the Ash'arees

His denial of the magic that was practiced upon the Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasallam) .

His denial that Eesaa (as) was raised to the heaven

His claim that the point of dispute between the Messenger and the Pagans was with respect to Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah only and that Tawheed ul-Uloohiyyah is but Tawheed ur-Ruboobiyyah.

He said in his Zilaal (4/1846): "Then the issue of Uloohiyyah was not the point of difference, indeed, it was the issue of Ruboobiyyah which the messages (of the Messengers) addressed. And this was what the final message was addressing also."

His claim that the Sifaat (Attributes of Allaah) are but mere imaginations (takhyeel).

And for those who call for Haakimiyyah and raise its banner high, then it is well known to the lowest student of knowledge that the Haakimiyyah of Allaah Azzawajall applies even more so to His Essence, His Names and Attributes [as well as His Sharee'ah etc.] So the one who does not judge - in the matters related to knowledge about Allaah - by what Allaah has revealed - then it is more befitting for him to be labelled a rejector of the Haakimiyyah of Allaah Azzawajall. What is required is justice and fair speech and speaking the truth, even if it be against one's own soul - and applying the fundamental principles of Islamic Belief justly and fairly to every individual that they apply to - and this is a sign of a Muslims honesty, integrity and love for the Revelation of Allaah.

His refusal to pray Salaatul-Jumu'ah with the justification that there is no khilaafah at the present time.

Alee Ashmaawee says in his book: "The Secret History of Ikhwaan ul-Muslimeen" (at-Taareekh as-Sirree li-Jamaa'atil-Ikhwaan il-Muslimeen): "And the time for the Jumu'ah prayer arrived so I said to him: 'Let us leave and pray' and it was a surprise that I came to know - and for the first time - that he did not used to pray Jumu'ah" (p.112)

His speaking with "Hurriyatul-I'tiqaad" [The Freedom of Belief] - meaning that people can be left upon the religion that they are upon. [So Christians should be left as Christians - Jews as Jews etc...] - Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen was asked 'What do you say about the one who speaks with Hurriyatul-I'tiqaad?' The Shaikh replied: 'The one who allows Hurriyatul I'tiqaad - that a person can believe in whatever religion he wishes is a Kaafir...'. NOTE: TAKFEER IS NOT BEING MADE HERE - Since even though someone utters something which necessitates disbelief, the conditions have to be fulfilled and the preventive barriers [mawaani'] have to be removed before the verdict of disbelief can be issued and that is for the Ulamaa' alone - BUT THIS IS TO SHOW THE NATURE OF QUTB'S IGNORANCE OF FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES OF THE RELIGION. Shaikh al-Albaanee commented about Qutb that he is merely a writer (adeeb), lacking in Islamic knowledge.

"For Islam does not desire the freedom of worship for its followers only, rather it affirms this right for all the different religions and it tasks the Muslims to fight and defend this right for all people and it [even] allows them to fight under this flag, the flag which guarantees the freedom of worship for the adherents of all other religions...so that it is realised that it is a free world order... (Nahwa Mujtami' Islaamee p.105)

"And Islaam does not feel uneasy about the differences of mankind in aqeedah and manhaj, rather it considers this as something necessitated by natural disposition and a goal from ahgher will in life amongst the people...(Nahwa Mujtami' Islamee p.103)"

His speaking about the Qur'an with mere personal opinion. There are 181 mistakes in matters of aqeedah and issues of knowledge in his Fi zilaal il-Quraan as pointed out by Shaik Abdullaah bin Muhammad as-Dawaish in his book, Al-Mawrid uz-Zilaal fit-Tanbeeh alaa Akhtaa'a az-Zilaal and as the saying goes: Al-Lamsu wal-Basar khairun min as-Sam'i wal-khabr.

For a full and excellent refutation of Sayyid Qutb refer to the following books by the Shaikh Rabee' bin Haadee al-Madkhalee, which have been recommended by Shaikh Ibn Uthaimin, Shaikh Bin Baz and others.

1. Adwaa al-Islaamiyyah alaa Aqeedati Sayyid Qutb
2. Mataa'in Sayyid Qutb fis-Sahaabah
3. Al-Awaasim mimmaa fee kutub Sayyid Qutb minal-Qawaasim
4. Al-Hadd ul-Faasil bainal-Haqq wal-Baatil

After reading these it should become clear to the one who is free from ta'assub and hizbiyyah that Sayyid Qutub is most certainly not a mujaddid, in the league of the likes of Ibn Taymiyyah as is ignorantly propagated by many.

Even, after so many errors which have been exposed about his books and all the Jarh of various scholars, if you are going to take knowledge from his Books, I do not know what to say. Even if you want to read his books, please bear in mind the mistakes he did in his books and that is not the reality of Islam.

Please take my post as a sincere advice since my intent was not to fight or argue with anyone or defame Sayyid Qutb. May Allah forgive him for the fitnah he may have caused and reward him for the good he might have done.

Wa `alaykum salaam wa rahmatullaah

I would like to point out that you are a layman who is blindly following the opinion of a scholar. And if this is the case, you should keep your taqleed to yourself. With all due to respect, the major scholars who know Sayyid Qutb rahimahullaah did not make any accusations of Kufr or anything similar to that. Shaykh Al-Albaanee recognized him as a person with a lot of good, and some mistakes will not negate one's good.

He did jihaad against the tyrant ruler of his time at a time when most of the people kept silent. The `Allaamah ibn Jibreen, Bakr Abu Zayd and even the current mufti of saudi etc. spoke good off him andl knew his books very well.

Many of the 'mistakes' in his books that people point out in the name of 'Jarh' are many times not even 'mistakes'- like Wahdatul Wujood... in his own book he frees from Wahdat al-Wujood in the tafseer of Soorah Baqarah: 117.

"The Creator does not have any match. And here the philosophy of Wahdat al-Wujud remains completely outside the Islamic conception, and Islam refuses the concept of Wahdat al-Wujud of non-Muslims."

The point is not to say that he has no mistake or to claim that he is a scholar, rather we should be just and this is something some of the major scholars have talked about.

The worst thing about warning against individuals is that most people don't even know where Jarh wa ta`deel is used and they go about doing 'Jarh'. If you are a layman and hold a specific view in which other scholars have disagreed- you are better off remaining silent.

Wassalamu Alaikkum,

Brother, I never shy away from saying I am a layman. Indeed, I am. And I am not as knowledgeable as you are. That is all true. But, I also would like to point you out that accepting the Jarh of a Scholar is not Taqleed.

[yt]cXDSx8Xa5SE[/yt]

Secondly, what I intended to give is a balanced view to the OP. Do you know how knowledgeable the OP is ? He could be a laymen and do you think a laymen should read a book with so many mistakes when there are plenty of good books on Aqidah, usool sunnah and fiqh?

Again, I do not understand why you tell me that he fought against tyrant ruler when others were silent. Alright, he will be rewarded for all the good he did. But, his books are spreading wrong ideas of making takfir on muslims etc. Why read such questionable books when other widely accepted good books are available?

Thirdly, The same Shaykh Albaanee - Rahimahullah- whom you said praised Sayyid Qutb, also praised the books of Shaykh Rabee saying "Everything that you have refuted Sayyid Qutb in is true and correct. From this, it will become quite clear to every Muslim, who has some sort of Islaamic education, that reads this that Sayyid Qutb was not knowledgeable about Islaam, whether about its fundamental principles (Usool) or its subsidiary issues (Furoo'). So may Allaah reward you, O brother (Rabee') for fulfilling this obligation of clarifying and exposing his ignorance and deviation from Islaam". What you are stating is very old praise.

Brother, my intention was just to show both perspectives of the book. I am just asking the OP to look out for these mistakes and not fall into errors like making takfir of muslims etc. I do not know why still insist on hiding the errors in the book and show only the goodness in the book. Indeed, that is a big betrayal.

I just wish good for the OP, nothing else. Forgive me if I am wrong.


Edit: Another thing, do not make it an issue of Walaa and Baraa' and insult me [I am not blaming you did, but rather I find some people doing it]. And this is what causes splitting between the salafees. I just want to redirect some people here to some good advice regarding what causes splitting among salafees and how to prevent that.

Allahu A'lam.

Let's see what the mufti of Saudi Arabia said about Qutub rahimahullah.

http://www.sahihalbukhari.com/sps/sp.cfm?subsecID=NDV01&articleID=NDV010014&articlePages=1

The former mufti of Saudi Arabia Sheikh Bin Baz rahimahullah said about Qutub:

SHAIKH ‘ABDUL - ‘AZEEZ IBN BAAZ - hafizahullaah -
When asked about the speech of Sayyid Qutb concerning the saying of Allah - the Most High - Ar-rahmanu ‘alal Arshis tawa -, Sayyid Qutb said in ‘az-Zilaal:

"As for al-Istiwaa’ upon the Throne, then we are able to say: It is a metaphor for His mastery over the creation." [‘az-Zilaah’: 4/2328 & 6/3408 - 12th edition, 1406H, Daarul-‘Ilm]

So the Shaikh replied: "This is all a futile saying - that this means His mastery. He has not affirmed ‘al-Istiwaa. - which means a denial of ‘Istiwaa.’ Which is known and means His ascension upon the throne. [What he has said] is futile and shows that he is destitute with regard to tafseer and lost in that regard."

Then one of those present mentioned that some people always advise that this book should be read, so he said: "That which he says is an error. No! An error. That which he says is an error. We will soon write in that regard - if Allah wills."

Then in the same lesson some parts of the book of Sayyid Qutb ‘at-Tasweer al-Fannee fil-Qur’aan’ were read to him such as his speech about Moosaa - ‘alaihis-Salaam - upon whom he said: "Let us take Moosaa - as the example of the leader of excitable nature - and this excitable impulse quickly passes away and he regains his composure, as is the case with the excitable folk." Then he said with regard to the Saying of Allah - the Most High - "Fa as-ba-hu fil madinati kha bi fan..." :- "This is the description of a well known state: the restlessness or fear of one expecting evil at every turn - and this is the characteristic of the excitable folk." [‘at-Tasweer al-Fannee fil-Qur’aan’: p.200,201,203. 13th ....]

So the Shaikh replied to this:

"Mockery of the Prophets is apostasy in its own."

And is was said to him that Shaikh Rabee’ al-Madhkhalee has written a refutation of Sayyid Qutb, so the Shaikh said: "Rebuttal of him is good." *

[During a lesson of Shaikh ‘Abdul - ‘Azeez ibn Baaz - hafizahullaah - in his house in Rayaad: 1413H, ‘Minhaajus-Sunnah tapes of ar-Rayaad]

Then we have Sheikh Fawzaan hafidhahulllah who said this about the books of Qutub:
SHAIKH SAALIH IBN FAWZAAN AL-FAWZAAN - hafizahullaah - said:
"The question of reading ‘az-Zilaal’ is a matter open to question, since ‘az-Zilaal’ comprises things which are very dubious, and that we should attach the youth to it and that they should accept the thoughts contained in it - this is the dubious matter since it may have an evil affect upon the minds of the youth. The tafseer of Ibn Katheer and the many tafseers of the scholars of the Salaf are such that they leave no need for the like of this tafseer. Then in reality it is not a tafseer, but rather deals with the general themes of the Soorahs of the Qur’aan in general. So it is not a tafseer in the sense well-known to the scholars since the earliest times - i.e. that the meaning of the (Aayahs) are explained by narrations (‘Aathaar), and that matters contained in them pertaining to the language and eloquence are explained and Sharee’ah rulings contained in them are explained - and before all of this what Allah - the Most Perfect and Most High - means in the Aayahs and the Soorahs is made clear.

As for ‘Zilaalul - Qur’aan’, then it is a ‘tafseer’ dealing with general concepts, and we made call it an ‘objective explanation’ - from the ‘objective tafseers’ that are known in this age. However it is not to be depended upon due to the affairs of Soofism contained in it, and due to the wordings it contains that do not befit the Qur’aan - such as terms pertaining to music and rhythms. *

*[‘az-Zilaal’: 3/1786; 5/2719, 2915, 2917; 6/3404, 3811, 3821, 3845, 3906, 3908, 3915 and 3957 :- 12th edition, 1406H, Daardul-‘Ilm]

Also by ‘Tawheed’ he does not mean Tawheed of worship, but rather he mostly means Tawheed of Lordship (Ruboobiyyah), and if he mentions anything of tawheed of Worship - then he concentrates upon Tawheed of sovereignty and the right to legislate (al-Haakimiyyah) * [‘Ma’aalim fit-Tareeq’: p.26, 29, 38, 40: 15th edition, 1412H, Daarush-Shurooq & ‘al-‘Adaalah ‘al-Ijtimaa’iyyah’ (p.182) - 9th edition:1403 : Daarush-Shurooq]

Then there is no doubt that ‘Haakimiyyah’ is part of Tawheed of worship, but it is not the ‘Uloohiyyah’ that is required.

Then the book should not be set along with Ibn Katheer - that is what I hold - and if the books of the Salaf were to be chosen instead, and the books giving attention to ‘Aqeedah, and tafseer of the qur’aan, and Sharee’ah rulings - then that would be more fitting for the youth." *

*[From the cassette: ‘Majmoo’ maa qaalahu Ibn Baaz hawla naseehatihil - ‘Aamaah liqaa-ma’a hadeethatih. Makkah, 9/8/1412H}


Then there is Sheikh Abdul-Muhsin Al Abbad hafidhahullah (one of the most knowledgeable Sheikh's of our time) and he said about Qutubs books:

SHAIKH ‘ABDUL - MUHSIN IBN HAMAD AL - ‘ABAAD - hafizahullaah - said:
" The book ‘Zilaalul-Qur’aan’ or ‘Fee zilaalil-Qur’aan’ of Shaikh Sayyid Qutb - rahimahullaah - is one of modern tafseers based upon the opinion and not narrations and reports; and it is known that the people of opinion (ra-y) and those who speak from their opinions, and speak in their own style - then both error and correctness will be seen from them; they will be correct (sometimes) and mistaken (sometimes).

A person who does not have understanding, and is not grounded upon knowledge - then it is better for him that he does not refer to it. Rather he should refer to the books of the notable scholars - such as the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer, the Tafseer of Ibn Jareer and the Tafseer of Shaikh ‘Abdur - Rahman ibn Sa’dee - from the later scholars - for these are the explanations of the scholars.

As for Sayyid Qutb - rahimahullaah - then he is one of the writers - meaning that he writes in his own style, and his own words, and speaks with words not based upon.... Therefore, if a person reads he will find: What so and so said, what so and so said, and ‘Allah’s Messenger said’ ... and so on. Meaning - those which gather narrations and give importance to the narrations. But his is based upon intellect and speech according to opinion - which is why speech comes from him which is not established and is not correct - therefore one should be occupied...life is short and not long enough for a person to read everything, so since this is the case - then one must read that which is beneficial and which is definitely useful, and the speech of the people of knowledge..., the people of knowledge who are scholars and not just writers; writers are other than scholars, a writer is other than a scholar. The writer is a person of letters - someone who has the ability to write and produce literature. So he speaks and produces words - some of which he is correct and some of which he is mistaken in. He may make mistake in wording and produce a phrase that is not good, and not fitting - but it occurs due to his speaking flowingly and using his own expressions. Therefore, in the words of Sayyid Qutb - rahimahullaah - there are things that are not befitting. In the words of Sayyid Qutb, in his works concerning tafseer and other than it there are unbefitting words and things that are not appropriate, and not befitting that a Muslim should express and say them.

As for the saying that no one has explained Tawheed as well as Sayyid Qutb did, then this is not correct at all. Tawheed is not taken from the speech of Sayyid Qutb but rather from the speech and precise scholars such as al-Bukhaaree and other than al-Bukhaaree who brought chains of narration and ahaadeeth from Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu `alaihi wasallam) , and they clearly explained Tawheed and clarified Tawheed and the reality of Tawheed. Then those scholars likewise who are knowledgeable of Tawheed - then that is not their own composition, composed in their own style and in the manner of literary works, but rather they base that upon the Speech of Allah, and the speech of His Messenger - salawaatullaahi wa salaamuhu wa barakaatuhu ‘alaihi - this is the reality of those (scholars) who wrote about Tawheed and occupied themselves with Tawheed." *

*[He said this after his lesson from ‘Sunan an-Nasaa-ee in al-Masjid an-Nabawee on 7/11/1414H]

If we also consider the way of the Salafs then we have:

Shaikh Muwaffiq-ud-Deen (Ibn Qudaamah, rahimahullaah) has mentioned the forbiddance of looking into the books of innovators and he stated:
"The Salaf used to forbid others from sitting with the innovators, looking into their books and listening to their speech."

(Al-Adaab-ush- Shara'eeyah (1/232))


I don't understand why some are so eager to read books which oviously have some great errors in them when there are books that deal with the same topic but are errorfree.

wa'alaikoum assalam.

Whatever is written above by some brothers is just their and the scholar's view points, I suppose no body loves or hates sayyid qutb here personally if I am right, and if not then surely this place is dicey but we have some really great people and articles on this forum
