In the name of Allah the most Gracious full of Compassion

I write this letter out of request and concerns that my beloved brothers have pointed out to me. Firstly, submitting to the hadeeth, “Whoever doesn’t thank the people doesn’t thank Allah.” I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation to my brothers for having that concern for me and showing me my mistakes in a loving and compassionate manner. Second, I would like to repent to Allah for Firstly: My translation of a lecture by a student in Dammaj known as ’Abdul-Hameed al-Hajooree, who has become known for his attacks against some of the noble Salafee Scholars, most specifically al-Shaykh ’Ubayd al-Jabiree, may Allaah preserve him. And secondly: My posting on the Oloom.net forum last year, a forum that has become a platform for attacking a number of our Salafee Scholars, from them: Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee, Shaykh ’Abdullaah al-Bukhaaree, Shaykh ’Ubayd al-Jabiree and others. May Allaah preserve them all. Likewise, I ask Allaah to forgive me for any confusion I caused to a brother in the affairs of the Religion, for it is not my intent, but a mistake is a mistake no matter how much good intent I had. So, finally I recommend and advice myself as well as my brothers with the regards to the advices and warnings of our mashaayikh especially the final advice of Shaykh Rabee’, to hold fast to those advices and warnings regarding Yahyaa al-Hajooree, and the website aloloom, and dammaj. I ask Allaah to accept my repentance, and to grant us all success in this life and the next, and to protect us from every trial and tribulation that which is apparent and hidden.

Your brother in Islam.
