Shaykh Rabee’ Endorses SPUBS

In reflecting upon the significance of SalafiPubs’s role for in clarifying the Salafi Da’wah in the UK over the past two decades, a period which he also refers to as an ‘era of the Scholars’, Shaykh Abu Khadeejah notes:

In no way [were] Salafi Publications, or the brothers who subsequently set up Salafi Publications, alone in this battle against Qutubist domination—indeed there were others involved in this task of protecting the Salafi methodology. However, it must be said without doubt that in the West, Salafi Publications spearheaded the campaign against the Qutubist-Jihadist ideology.[1]

Henceforth, what began in earnest during the late 1980s through to the mid-1990s as student activity within Islamic societies on various UK campuses and street da’wah, became an organisation of Muslims who gained the respect of the most senior Salafi scholars in the Muslim lands. These scholars gave their full-fledged endorsement to SalafiPubs as a legitimate and reliable hub for the Salafi Da‘wah in the West. Indeed, over the years the noble Shaykh Rabee’ Al-Madkhali has said regarding Abu Khadeejah and SalafiPubs:

By Allah, we have seen over the years many of the youth (in the West) who wanted to give da’wah and had with them zeal and great effort but sadly, we found that when they broke away from their brothers (in the Maktaba) they were misguided and began to misguide others. For we have never seen anybody who broke away from them (the Maktaba) except that this was what he was upon. So be with them and cooperate with your brothers. And that which is difficult for you seek their advice in and return your affairs back to them.[2]
