All of the Salafi scholars in the contemporary era strongly prohibit against demonstrations and they include Shaykh al-Albaani, Shaykh Ibn Baaz, Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymin, Shaykh Muqbil, Shaykh al-Ghudayaan, Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali, Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi, Shaykh al-Fawzaan, Shaykh Rabee, Shaykh Ubayd and others. These are ways that the Ikhwaan imported from the non-Muslims as a means of either rebelling against rulers or calling for justice by putting pressure on the authorities. These scholars reject the distinction between peaceful and violent demonstrations and they reject demonstrations even when the ruler or government allows them.

They are opposed by the misguided Ikhwanis who oppose the methodology of the Prophets in rectifying the servant and the land, who belittle the affairs of Tawhid and who focus on social and political affairs, making them the foundation, and do not see a great or primary role, for Tawhid in rectifying societies. As such, they mobilise the masses around social and political affairs without distinction between a Sunni and Bid'iyy.

There are found in the West Ikhwanis such as Shadeed Muhammad who ascribe to Salafiyyah, using it as a gown, whilst blatantly opposing the guidance of the Salaf and the Salafi scholars of our times. At the same time, they plagiarise the writings or use the arguments of the disparaged such as Haatim al-Awni whose views (and similar views of others) have been refuted by the likes of Shaykh al-Fawzaan for attacking the da'wah of Shaykh al-Islaam Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab, and also by others for numerous other issues that relate to affairs of Tawhid and worship. Listen to this audio in which a view expressed by some including al-Awni regarding al-Durar al-Saniyyah is mentioned to Shaykh al-Fawzaan and the Shaykh's response (mp3 audio).

Shadeed Muḥammad wrote a document titled, "Courage is Grace Under Fire", a statement (with a minor difference) ascribed to Ernest Hemingway (d. 1961), an American novelist, and Winston Churchill (d. 1965), who was Prime Minister of Great Britain during WWII. It is also a military phrase, used for war situations. The statement defines courage as calmness and collectedness in difficult, stressful situations. Shadeed added a subtitle to this document, "An Islamic Perspective on protests and Peaceful Demonstrations". The very first quote in his document is: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable", from John F. Kennedy (d. 1963), President of the United States. The final quote in his document is: "To live greatly we must develop the capacity to face difficulty with courage, disappointment with grace and triumph with humility", from Thomas S. Monson (d. 2013), a Christian leader and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Shadeed makes the statements of these non-Muslims the asl (foundation) of his article, since they comprise the title, first quote and last quote of his article. Then in between he twists the religion to support the statements of these non-Muslim novelists, politicians and Christian leaders, distorting the Book of Allaah, distorting the Sunnah and lying upon the Companions (the Salaf) in the process. Thus, he made the ways and methods of the disbelievers and their statements to be a foundation for which the religion of Islam, the speech of Allaah, the speech of the Messenger, the action of the Companions, is used to validate and support.

In this 7 page article Shadeed Muhammad wrote (pictured), he pretty much reproduced the article of Haatim al-Awni and the arguments it contains in which he argues for the legality of demonstrations. This is evidence that Shadeed Muhammad is upon the path of Hasan al-Banna and all those after him who neglect the Tawhid of the Messengers and adopt the ways and means of the disbelievers in rectifying social and political injustice.

In this series of articles we will expose, inshaa'Allaah, the jahl and hawaaa of the Ikhwaani Shadeed Muhammad in this subject and particularly his slander against some of the Companions and against Aa'ishah (radiyallaahu anhaa) and his lies against Allaah (azzawajall) and His Messenger (sallallaahu alayhi wasaallam) and his call for Muslim governments to legislate with the legislation of democracy by legalising protests and demonstrations.

Previously, Shadeed Muhammad has been spoken against by the Salafi scholars on account of other clearly misguided statements and Shaykh Ubayd al-Jaabiree called him "Daall, mudill", a misguided strayer who misguides others, (mp3 audio).

The reader should note that it is the way of Salafis to support and aid the madhhab of the Salaf and the methodology of the Prophets and to support the views, positions and fatwas of the Salafi scholars in issues connecting to methodology such as this one. In contrast it is the way of the people of lies and slander, the people of false ascription to Salafiyyah, to attack such Salafis and to defame them and belittle them. All so that they can defend and shield misguided people (like Shadeed Muhammad) from being refuted for views they hold that are in clear opposition to the Salafi methodology and to the views of the Salafi scholars. This reveals their dishonesty and the true basis of their loyalty, which is not around the truth.

Note: Shadeed Muhammad and Tahir Wyatt are veterans of the failed Madeenah dot con network that tried to undermine and destroy Salafi Publications over ten years ago. However, their plots failed and those behind this network were declared liars and mischief makers by Shaykh Ubayd and Shaykh Muhammad bin Haadee (see here, here, here and here). This is why they are filled with great resentment and hatred and why all of them, Shadeed Muhammad, Munir Muhammad, Tahir Wyatt, have speech with respect to these scholars, including Shaykh Rabee, that is the very same speech as the Qutbiyyah, Surooriyyah and Turaathiyyah of the 1990s and the Ma'ribiyyah of the 2000's. They claimed that Shaykh Rabee is being worshipped or that the religion or scholarship is being restricted only to him and a few others and so on and that he has caused trials and split Salafis and so on. The Shadeed's and Munir's of the 2010s resemble in some respects the ِAbd al-Razzaaq Shayijee's of the 1990s, and alhamdulillaah 20 years ago, we translated refutations against al-Shayijee and disseminated them on the Salafi Publications website. And this is the real grievance of these people. The Salafi methodology comes in the way of their Ikhwani methodology of gathering people and not distinguishing between Sunnah and its people and bid'ah and its people and rallying people around social and political affairs upon the way of the Ikhwanis. They are proceeding upon the ways of Salman al-Awdah and Abd al-Rahman Abd al-Khaliq of "collective work" (al-`amal al-jamaa`ee) with its innovated Ikhwani understanding. These individuals have not given up till this day and their efforts continue.
