Why did people love Shaykh Ibn Baaz so much? Shaykh Ibn Baaz [rahimahullah] was once asked what was the reason that people loved him so much, despite the differences they had among each other, he replied: I do not know of anything, except that since I realised the truth whilst I still was a youth, calling towards Allah and having patience upon the hardships I had to face, I never tried to make anyone love me, nor did I ever beautify my speech towards anyone. I spoke the truth by the Grace of Allah and had patience upon the hardships that afflicted me, if [my speech] was accepted then alhamdulillah and if not alhamdulillah. This was my path that I threaded, both in my speech and in my writing, whomsoever wanted to accept it accepted it and whomsoever wanted to turn away from it turned away from it… So I do not know any other reason then that, I used to speak the truth with the help of Allah as much as I could and I used to spread it both in speech and through action, and if I was ever targeted I never retaliated with harm or harshness rather I made du’a that Allah give them tawfeeq and guidance. This was my way with both the royals and the common people. [Usuul ash-Shaykh ’Abdil ‘Azeez bin Baaz fee ar-Rad ‘ala al-Mukhaalifeen p. 123]
