A brief Summary of  gathering in Jaami’ As – Sunnah in Sa’waan

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

الحَمدُ لله رَبِّ العالَمِين، وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إله إلا الله وَحدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَه شَىْءٌ وَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَه شَىْءٌ والظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَه شَىْءٌ وَالْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَه شَىْءٌ. وَ أَشهَدُ أنَّ مُحَمّداً عَبدُهُ وَ رَسُولُه، صَلّى الله عَلَيهِ وَ عَلى آلِهِ و سَلّم... أما بعد.

By the grace of Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى) the people of the Sunnah in Sana’a, Yemen were blessed with a gathering in which the Mashaayikh of the Sunnah in Yemen came together. The gathering took place in the Masjid of the noble Shaykh, Abu Ibraaheem Muhammad Maani’ (حفظه الله). The scene in the Masjid and the surrounding areas was amazing with such a tremendous turnout. This resulted to roads being closed off and people praying and sitting in the middle of the roads. This has been the case since our noble Shaykh and father Yahya Al – Hajooree (حفظه الله) has been in Sana’a.

The scheduled talks started after ‘Asr with the noble Shaykh Abu ‘Amr Al Hajooree (حفظه الله) talking about the oppression that had occurred in Dammaaj and how the end is for the pious.

Shortly after that, the noble Shaykh and Mujaahid, Ash – Shaykh Muhammad Baajammaal (حفظه الله) gave a talk in which he mentioned how the Da’wah of Al – Imaam Al – Waadi’ee (رحمه الله) spread and how Allaah aids the people upon the truth when oppressed as Ash Shaykh Muqbil was made to leave the Kingdom for a crime he didn’t commit which ended up being the cause of the Da’wah in Yemen to reach the whole world.

The Shaykh also reminded his brothers that what took place in Dammaj was from the decree of Allaah and that we must accept it and that it does not indicate the end of the Da’wah of Dammaj. Rather the Shaykh stated that perhaps Allaah wants good for the people of Dammaj that only He (سبحانه و تعالى) knows.

The next talk was after Maghrib, which was a brief talk by the noble Shaykh, Ash Shaykh Abu Ibraaheem Muhammad Maani’ (حفظه الله) who has hosted his brothers from Dammaaj excellently, we ask Allaah to reward him immensely for his efforts. The Shaykh’s talk was very brief and was regarding the importance of holding to the Sunnah and calling to it. Those who know the Shaykh (حفظه الله) will know that he (حفظه الله) quotes many narrations from the Salaf and from that which he narrated to his brothers was the following athar:

It was narrated by Al – Hasan Ibn Ayuub Al – Baghdaadee who said: I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (Imaam Ahmad) and it was said to him: May Allaah give you life upon Islaam, and He said and the Sunnah. {Tabaqaatul Hanaabilah: vol 1: 131}

The gathering was concluded with a talk by our Shaykh and father, the Flag bearer of Tawheed and Sunnah in Yemen, the Mujaahid and Muhaddith Yahya Al – Hajooree (حفظه الله). The Shaykh gave advice in which he urged those listening to give Da’wah according to their capabilities. The Shaykh also clarified the reason behind leaving Dammaj. 

The talk of the Shaykh (حفظه الله) was summarized in English for our brothers in Masjid Imaam Muqbil in London and we hope will be posted on the forum.

O Allaah aid whoever aided us and desert whoever deserted us
