Gentleness O People of the Sunnah with the People of the Sunnah

Description

Gentleness O People of the Sunnah with the People of the Sunnah by Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad is a profound treatise emphasizing the importance of kindness, unity, and proper etiquette among those who adhere to the Sunnah. The book addresses the growing issue of harshness and division among scholars, students of knowledge, and followers of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, urging them to adopt a gentle and merciful approach when dealing with one another. Shaykh al-Abbad draws from Quranic verses, Hadith, and examples from the lives of the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) and the Salaf to illustrate how scholars of the past maintained unity despite differences in scholarly opinions. He warns against the dangers of excessive criticism, unwarranted boycotting (Hajr), and labeling fellow Sunnis as deviants without clear evidence. The book highlights the virtues of patience, wisdom, and mutual respect, emphasizing that internal disputes among Sunni Muslims weaken the Ummah and distract from the greater mission of spreading authentic Islam. This work serves as an essential reminder for students of knowledge and scholars to prioritize brotherhood over conflict, to correct mistakes with wisdom and sincerity, and to foster an environment of mutual support rather than hostility. It is a crucial book for those involved in Islamic teaching, Da’wah, and scholarship, reinforcing the principle that mercy and kindness are central to the methodology of Ahlus-Sunnah.
