As for the teachers, they taught in Dammaj for the sake of Allah the mighty and majestic. There were no salaries or special funds allocated to them in exclusion to the rest of the students, and Allah placed blessings in their knowledge. Today, however, Abdullah bin Mar’i announces a call for support for the teachers and opened accounts and groups to receive donations. All of this is nothing but thievery. Why doesn’t Abdullah bin Mar’i spend from the millions of Saudi Riyals now in his account, which he earned through real estate, instead of begging, humiliating the faces, and dishonoring the Da'wah and knowledge but we know him to be well-known for his love of wealth and lusting after the Dunyaa.
And do not think we envy them for collecting wealth and begging. The members of these organisations accused Shaykh Muqbil of envying them. He responded by saying:
“The bankrupt Muslim Brotherhood cannot be trusted, nor can the members of Al-Hikmah organisation, Al-Ihsaan organisation, or Al-Islaah organisation, be trusted. It is obligatory upon them to fear Allah, the exalted and the most high. And we do not envy them, nor do we compete with them for these funds. However, the merchants who do not use their wealth wisely will be questioned before Allah on the Day of Judgment if they spend it on other than their correct avenues.
Indeed, someone who still remains with the Muslim Brotherhood said it well: “We can argue and misspresent everything against the people of Sunnah on many issues, except these towering buildings but we cannot cover these and say they didn't build buildings, by Allah we don't know how to defend this!”.
Our Shaykh Muqbil, may Allah have mercy on him, also said in his treatise “Compassion for the Disobedient Student”:
“By Allah, O Abdullah bin Ghaalib, do we envy you for sleeping under a blanket in the library while others are researching, and you are wrapped in your blanket? Do we envy you, my son, for wasting time traveling from Dammaj to Sana’a, to Taiz, to Jeddah, to Qasseem, to Riyadh, to Al-Ahsaa, and to many other places? This, my son, is not something you are envied for. What should we envy you for?”. End of speech.
Congratulations to those who are content and satisfied with the goodness that our Shaykh Muqbil, may Allah have mercy on him, was upon. Allah placed blessings in his Da'wah despite the cramped accommodations and the large number of students who came to him.
Glory be to You, and praise be to You. There's no deity worthy of worship in truth except You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.
