Question:
How do you convert your local community of Muslims, whom you love so much for the sake of Allah, to Traditional Islam? I have talked to them about it, and they have never heard of Habib Ali, Nuh Keller, etc. and they are so familiar with Bin Baz, Uthaimen, Al Al Bani, etc. They say that these are the real scholars. And what about Ikwaan al-Muslimoon; what is Traditional Islam's view on the Ikhwaan? Please answer this question; I really do want to know this.
Answer:
Assalamu alaykum
In the name of Allah, the Inspirer of truth.
Above all, the most effective method would be to pray to Allah to show us all the straight path and allow us to follow it. Aside from this, explain, without sounding too overbearing, about the beautiful way of the predecessors. Use examples of the earlier generations, like the Messenger (upon him be peace), the Companions, Hasan Basri, Imam Ahmad, and others, who are universally acclaimed by all, rather than contemporaries who such people do not want to listen to.
Thereafter, organize an all-accommodating program and invite one of the Shuyukh. Explain the situation to him so that he can speak based on the circumstances.
Unfortunately, many members of particular groups sometimes fail to follow the spiritual paths encouraged by their founders or earlier scholars. Shaykh Zakariya Al-Siddiqi writes in his Prologue to the Al-Mathurat of Hasan Banna (founder of the Ikhwan al-Muslimin) lamenting this shortcoming: "Imam Hasan al-Banna did not write Al-Ma'thurat except as a daily wazifa to be recited by members of the Muslim Brotherhood and others besides them. As for what we find today i.e. the neglect of the recitation of Al-Ma'thurat among the members of the Islamic Movement, it is something which cannot be understood. Perhaps the over emphasis on political activism and dragging the 'beginners' and not the 'specialists' in partisan and syndicate based struggles is a possible explanation pointing towards this relapse in the path of tazkiya al-nafs [purification of the heart]. Indeed, no group can achieve its aims if it does not pay importance to the tarbiya of its members through dhikr in its various manifest forms� (Al-Mathurat p. 20).
And Allah knows best.
