For instance, Kabbani praises Zaahid al-Kawtharee in his footnote on page 57 to Jamal Az-Zahawi's Doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah. Zaahid is of course someone who made takfeer on Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn al-Qayyim. So clearly this suggests that Kabbani holds a similar view. Yet, we find in The Celebration of Mawlid, Kabbani's epitimous tome on this bid'a, Kabbani attempting to use both Ibn Taymiyyah and his student, Ibn Qayyim has proof in Kabbani's spurious claims.
Similarily, with respect to Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, Kabbani condemns him in his introduction to The Doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah (pages 2-3), describing ibn Abdul Wahab's da'wah as "a two century old heresy spawned by a scholar of the Najd area in the Eastern part of the Arabian peninsula by the name of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab. This scholar has been refuted by a long line of scholars both in his time and ours."
The author of the book makes the following claims which Kabbani remains silent to, and by his silence, consents to:
i) That the Muslim Ummah had existed in a state of disbelief for the past 600
years, i.e. between the time of ibn Taymiyyah and the era of ibn Abdul-Wahab (p.
24)
ii) That prayers upon the Prophet were disliked in the Sharee’ah (p.24)
iii) That he burnt the book Dhalaa’il al-Khayraat (p.25)
iv) That he
prohibited the people from visiting the tomb of the Prophet (p.27)
v) He
prohibited tawassul by means of the pious (pp. 29-30)
vi) He claimed to be a
mujtahid (p. 34)
vii) He claimed to be exempt from taqleed (p. 54)
All
well and good and totally keeping with sufi ideology in which anyone calling
tawheed is condemned and reviled. However, in Celebration of Mawlid (pages
28-29), Kabbani says: "Many people today attribute to Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab
views contrary to what he actually taught," and then proceeds to refute each of
the seven views described above and prove that these are not representative of
the reality of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab's da'wah nor life.
The Mawlid book was released in 1994, whereas his notes to Doctrine of Ahlus Sunnah came to print in 1996. How is that Kabbani can praise someone and defend them against specific allegations, only to agree with these same allegations at a later date? Simple. Kabbani is an opportunistic two-faced dajjal, whos manhaj is one based of faustian machinations and deception.
And with Allah is all Success.
