A warning against Abu Taymiyyah Mohamed Jeylaani by one of his own teachers; Sheikh Abdulhameed Az-Zu'kari hafidhahullahAll Praises belong to Allah and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah. To proceed:
Abu Taymiyyah Al-Jeylani is a Mumayyi' (one who waters down), Munḥarif (a deviant) from the way of the Salaf for a while now.
Beginning with the issue of Taṣwīr, then his compromisation as it relates to sitting with the people of innovation, leaning towards them and even agreeing with them.
'A man is on the religion of his friend, so let one of you look to whom he befriends.' (hadith)
Also, debating the people of innovation unrestrictedly is not from the way of the Salaf. Rather, the way of the Salaf is advice and clarification.
Similarly, sitting with the people of innovation is not from the way of the Salaf. Rather, this is merely from the way of the Khalaf (the people of innovation).
'Whoever sits with someone is affected by them.' (proverb)
So, he neither represents us, nor does he represent the Salafi Da'wah. He is need of repentance to Allah from his watered down, deviated Manhaj (methodology), sitting with the Ḥanafis (i.e. Deobandis), Hizbis, and those who turn away (from Salafiyyah).
He thinks he is doing good. By Allah, he is only harming himself firstly, due to his lack of distinguishing himself upon the correct manhaj, and also harming the Da'wah and the way of the noble Salaf and Imams.
If only he tred the path of his brothers in repenting to Allah and remaining distinguished from the people of falsehood, Allah would have brought benefit by way of him, and the hearts would have inclined to him. However, 'you cannot guide whom you love, rather Allah guides whosoever he wishes, and he is more knowledgeable regarding those who are guided.'
