The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: « وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْغُلُوَّ فِي الدِّينِ، فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ الْغُلُوُّ فِي الدِّينِ » “Beware of ghuloo in the Deen, for indeed those who came before you were only destroyed by ghuloo in the Deen.” An-Nasaa’ee (#3057), Ibn Maajah (#3029), and by an-Nasaa’ee in al-Kubraa (#4049), al-Bayhaqee in as-Sunan al-Kubraa (#9534) and others. Declared saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaanee Shaykhul-Islaam Ibnu Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) said regarding this hadeeth: “ – (This) is general in regards to every type and category of Ghuloo, in I’tiqaad (the matters of ‘Aqeedah) and in actions. And Ghuloo (is): going beyond and exceeding the limits by increasing something in its praise, or dispraise, beyond what it rightfully deserves, and the like of that.” Iqtidaa’ as-Siraatil-Mustaqeem Al-Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said: “Allaah did not order with a command except that shaytaan has an avenue to incite evil in it, either towards negligence and wastefulness, or towards excessiveness and extremism (ghuloo). And the Deen of Allaah is in the middle between abandonment and neglect, and excessiveness and extremism, like the valley between two mountains. And al-Hudaa (guidance) is between two ways of misguidance, and the middle ground between two sides that are dispraised. So just like abandoning the command is squandering it and throwing it away, so then excessiveness and extremism in it is to corrupt and ruin it. This one is by falling short of the limits, and this one is by going beyond the limits.” Madaarijus-Saalikeen And Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: “And whoever seeks to get close to Allaah by what is not from the hasanaat that have been commanded, (not) by a command of obligation nor (a command) of recommendation, then he is astray, following the shaytaan, and his path is from the paths of shaytaan…” Iqtidaa as-Siraatil-Mustaqeem How the Dawah of Shaykh Ibn al-Uthaymeen grew!
