Clarifying the Fitnah of Arafat al-Muhammadi, the Shaykhs of Aden, and the New Party

In the name of Allah, Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy.

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all creation, and may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and all his Companions.

This page is dedicated to compiling resources, evidences, and clarifications concerning the fitnah of Arafat al-Muḥammadī, the Shaykhs of Aden, and the new party.

It is important to understand that many of those who have not followed this affair from its beginning may not have a clear understanding of the actual point of difference that is under dispute. As a result, when they encounter the various responses, statements, recordings, and exchanges surrounding the affair, they may perceive only a mass of conflicting discussions, while the actual issue of contention becomes obscured.

This is particularly problematic when secondary matters, peripheral discussions, and responses to responses become mixed together with the original point of dispute. In such circumstances, it can become difficult for a person who is approaching the affair for the first time to determine what the actual disagreement is, what claims are being made, and what the responses to those claims actually address.

For this reason, the material on this page will be arranged into separate parts, with each part dealing with a particular issue. A brief introduction will be provided at the beginning of each section to clarify the background and identify the specific point under discussion. This will then be followed by the relevant resources, statements, evidences, and clarifications pertaining to that issue.

The objective is to make the affair easier to follow and, more importantly, to distinguish the actual points of contention from the surrounding obfuscation raised by the criticized. In this way, the reader can examine each issue on its own terms, understand what is actually being disputed, and then consider the evidences and responses related to it.

We ask Allah to make the truth clear, to grant us sincerity and justice in dealing with these matters, and to guide us to that which pleases Him.
