Abu Muhammad Al-Maghribi CLARIFIES his resignation @ Masjid Rahmah Newark New Jersey USA

[Maher.ibn.Ahmad.Attiyeh]

Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah Amma ba'd Allaahul Musta'aan. Classify this under evil exchanges. What follows is most of what Abu Muhammad (hafidhahullaah) said yesterday, bridging separate clarifications, regarding the fitnah of the Masjid Rahmah Administration. In sha` Allaah, when the first audio also becomes available, others details can be added. Abu Muhammad al-Maghribee clarified in his second clarification, the audio of which is below: Bismillaah Al-Hamdulillaah wa salatu wa salaamu 'ala rasulullaah Amma ba'd I just want to make a correction of a statement I made earlier. One of my brothers (hafidhahullaah) approached me [regarding my mention of] why I left Masjid Rahmah. I didn't pay attention to the exact wording, but my beloved brother - Al-Hamdulillaah - said that I said [I left] because of the brothers of Masjid Rahmah. [It was] Not the brothers of Masjid Rahmah, [it was because of] the Administration, actually. Let us make that clear. [I left because of] the administration! A few, a handful of people, not the community. And also he said [that I said] the roof, under one roof, someone may take it [the wrong way]. I'm taking that statement [back.] The issue is the position that the administration took. Alright? This is not something that I took from somebody's pocket. It is something they did themselves, they sent emails. Because, me, I just know that stuff from the email they sent. Them, they made a choice; they chose Taher over Shaikh Rabee'. When I asked them personally, I said, 'Why did you move Shaikh Rabee's name?' They said, 'Because Shaikh Rabee' said, 'if Taher is speaking, he won't speak.'" So I said, 'So you chose Taher over [Shaikh Rabee']?' Anyway, that's what happened. [In Abu Muhammad's first bayaan, he said: They [the administration] sent an email saying it was a mistake, but it was NOT a mistake!] In sha` Allaah, I do apologize, if anybody here from Masjid Rahmah... My brothers from the community, whom I love and whom I spent six years with. I still love you brothers. My position was, Al-Hamdulillaah, supported by the mashaayikh (scholars). Shaikh Rabee' himself. Shaikh 'Ubaid, we spoke today and he said: 'You made the right decision.' Shaikh Suhaymee. Even though Shaikh Saalih as-Suhaymee told me: 'Abu Muhammad, no, no, be patient in sha` Allaah.' I said, 'Shaikh, I've been patient for six years, trying to be like you.' He said, 'If you've been patient for six years, you're better than me.' ...Shaikh Falah Isma'eel himself said: 'Abu Muhammad, you made the right decision, may Allaah reward you.' We have to stand for the people of knowledge. So, in sha` Allaah, once again I apologize. It's not the community of Masjid Rahmah, whom I love in general. ... Another thing, I forgot. Because the brother said, people are looking at him funny, like he did something. Akhee, the community of Masjid Rahmah, they have nothing to do with that stuff. Unless, the person is supporting what the administration is doing, that is something else. But that decision that was made by the administration; that's the administration. [Then Abu Muhammad showed an example of a way not to act with a brother from Masjid Rahmah who does not support Masjid Rahmah's administraion.] That's your brother, unless you know with the proof that this man is supporting their decision. Advise them. Tell them, 'akhee, how are you going to support them with that? This is not Abu Muhammad versus Taher. This is Shaikh Rabee'. [The truth deserves to be followed.] We have to show some respect for the 'ulemma. ...The haqq is the haqq. We're not following a group or a name or none of that. We're with the haqq (truth). ...So once again, baarak Allaahu feekum. Keep that in your mind. The community of Masjid Rahmah has nothing to do with this mess. Unless if someone dives in it, they're going to get wet. Okay, in sha` Allaah.
