Lessons from the Past on Not Mixing with the People of Desires
SHAYKH RABĪ‘ IBN HĀDI AL-MADKHALĪ
Shaikh
Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī, may Allāh protect him
from every harm, said:
So we warn all young Salafīs against mixing
with the people of desires, being at ease with them, inclining towards them, or
trusting them.
So [all
young Salafīs] should learn a lesson from those before [us] who had
become deceived by themselves, considering themselves [able to] guide the
people of misguidance and turn them back from their deviation and
misguidance–only for themselves to totter, stumble, and then fall headlong into
the arms of the people of innovation.
Many
experiences have occurred from the dawn of Islāmic history; children of the
Companions, when they inclined towards and trusted Ibn Sabaʾ, fell into misguidance.
People from the children of the Companions and
the Successors [to the Companions], when they leaned towards and
trusted Al-Mukhtār ibn Abī ʿUbaid, fell into misguidance.
And people from this time have leaned towards
and trusted many deviant, politically oriented callers and heads of innovation,
so they fell into the traps of the people of misguidance.
