Refuting "Islamic" Sects

In this video, I respond to Mohammed Hijab’s attack on Imam Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab رحمه الله. Rather than engaging with the evidences, the books, and the call itself, we often see a familiar tactic: attacking the caller in order to undermine the call. This is not a new approach. Throughout history, the opponents of the Prophets and reformers sought to discredit the messenger when they could not refute the message. The real question is not whether someone likes or dislikes Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. The question is: Was his call a call to Tawhid? Was he calling people to worship Allah alone, abandon shirk, and return to the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf? In this video, I examine the claims, expose the fallacies, and demonstrate why personal attacks are not a substitute for knowledge, evidence, and sincere scholarship. “Bring your proof if you are truthful.” (Qur’an 2:111) Timestamps: 00:00 Intro: Mohammed Hijab’s Attack on Ibn Abdul Wahhab 00:28 The “Labeling Game” & Taking Words Out of Context 00:44 Who Was Ibn Abdul Wahhab?

False Takfīr & the Methodology of the Khawārij One of the most dangerous deviations in Islamic history is the practice of declaring Muslims to be disbelievers without clear, sound, and scholarly evidence. The Khawārij became known for this excess — rushing to takfīr based on misunderstandings, emotions, and corrupt principles. Takfīr is not a slogan, nor a tool for disputes — it is a grave ruling with immense consequences. Ahl al-Sunnah have always emphasized caution, justice, and returning such matters to qualified scholars. #Khawarij #Takfir #FalseTakfir #Aqeedah #Manhaj #AhlusSunnah #IslamicReminder #IslamicKnowledge #Salafi #Deviations #Extremism #IslamicCreed #SeekingKnowledge #Scholars #IslamicEducation #Reflections #Dawah #Sunnah #farishammadi

In this episode, we revisit the early warning signs of extremism through a powerful prophetic incident involving Dhul Khuwaisirah. When Dhul Khuwaisirah objected to the Prophet’s judgment and accused him of injustice, the Prophet Muhammad did not dismiss it as a minor comment. Instead, he gave a detailed, precise description of a future group whose characteristics would mirror this attitude — a group that would later become known as the Khawarij. The Prophet ﷺ described their: • Excessive outward religiosity • Arrogance masked as piety • Rebellion against legitimate authority • Misuse of Qur’anic texts without understanding We then connect this to the Battle of Hunayn, where even some of the Ansar felt discomfort over the distribution of war booty. The Prophet ﷺ addressed their concerns with wisdom, emotional intelligence, and clarity — drawing a clear line between sincere concern and dangerous objection rooted in self-righteousness. This video highlights: • How the Prophet ﷺ distinguished between human emotion and deviant ideology • Why not every objection is equal • How extremism often begins with “good intentions” but corrupt principles A critical reminder for our times: deviation starts in the heart before it appears in actions. #farishammadi #IslamicHistory #Khawarij #Extremism #Seerah #DhulKhuwaisirah #BattleOfHunayn #Ansar #Manhaj #Sunnah #AhlusSunnah

the concept of Bai‘ah (the pledge of allegiance) in Islam — its meaning, origins, and the wisdom behind it. What does it truly signify? Is it only for rulers, or does it extend to other forms of commitment in the Muslim community? Discover how Bai‘ah was practiced during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, its basis in the Qur’an and Sunnah, and how it reflects unity, loyalty, and obedience within the framework of Islam. 🎥 Watch till the end to understand one of the most misunderstood concepts in Islamic governance and brotherhood. #Islam #Baiyah #FarisAlHammadi #IslamicKnowledge #Seerah

The young man came online attempting to mock me over my stance on the boycott — based on lies about me — but the conversation quickly shifted into a serious discussion on takfīr. It’s astonishing how uninformed some of these youth are; all they have are loose strands of knowledge and lingering doubts that have led them to embrace the destructive bidʿah of the Khawārij. Discussing one of the principles of Khawarij: Ruling by other than Allah’s rule makes you an apostate – no exceptions! In Islam, declaring a ruler, a government, or an entire population as apostates (takfīr ʿāmm) is a major matter that requires clear proof from the Qur’an and Sunnah, applied case by case with the conditions and without ignoring the preventions. #salaf #farishammadi #khawarij #islam #sunnah
