CONCLUSION<br />

As it is unders<strong>to</strong>od from the beginning <strong>of</strong> his book <strong>to</strong> the end,<br />

Rashîd Ridâ does not posses <strong>an</strong>y firm faith or reasonable opinion.<br />

He looks for grounds for traducing the Ahl as-Sunna <strong>an</strong>d the four<br />

madhhabs <strong>an</strong>d beats about the bush. By using his masonic master’s<br />

cunning policy <strong>an</strong>d putting in arbitrary examples by tr<strong>an</strong>slating<br />

from books written in Arabic, his mother <strong>to</strong>ngue, he introduces<br />

himself as a religious scholar. Lest our young men <strong>of</strong> religious<br />

pr<strong>of</strong>ession <strong>an</strong>d the pure, credulous Muslims should believe in the<br />

lies <strong>an</strong>d sl<strong>an</strong>ders <strong>of</strong> this cunning enemy <strong>of</strong> the Ahl as-Sunna, we<br />

have written this humble refutation.<br />

In summary, the purpose <strong>of</strong> this book, <strong>Answer</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>an</strong> <strong>Enemy</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Islam</strong>, is <strong>to</strong> explain that the four madhhabs <strong>of</strong> Ahl as-Sunna were<br />

deduced from the Qur’ân al-kerîm <strong>an</strong>d the hadîth ash-sherîf. The<br />

books <strong>of</strong> fiqh that exist in the contemporary age do not contain<br />

<strong>an</strong>y ijtihâd disagreeing with <strong>an</strong>y hadîth. Of their ijtihâds, which<br />

seem <strong>to</strong> disagree with one <strong>an</strong>other, only one <strong>of</strong> them is right, yet<br />

those who follow the wrong ones, as pointed out in the hadîth ashsherîf,<br />

will also be given thawâb. Therefore, as it will be sahîh<br />

(valid) <strong>an</strong>d maqbûl (acceptable in the view <strong>of</strong> Allâhu ta’âlâ) <strong>to</strong> do<br />

what has been conveyed un<strong>an</strong>imously in their four madhhabs, so<br />

it will be sahîh <strong>an</strong>d maqbûl <strong>to</strong> do what they disagreed on. Then,<br />

every Muslim who is not a mujtahid has <strong>to</strong> choose <strong>an</strong>d follow one<br />

<strong>of</strong> the four madhhabs in everything he does, without <strong>an</strong>y need <strong>to</strong><br />

search for the documents <strong>of</strong> the imâm al-madhhab, for, the new<br />

Muslims among the Tâbi’în imitated as-Sahâbat al-kirâm without<br />

asking for <strong>an</strong>y documentation. When doing <strong>an</strong>ything in<br />

accord<strong>an</strong>ce with the madhhab he has liked <strong>an</strong>d chosen, every<br />

Muslim should believe that he is obeying the Qur’ân al-kerîm or<br />

the hadîth ash-sherîf.<br />

There is no need for a mujtahid <strong>to</strong>day. For, nothing has been<br />

left unexplained among <strong>Islam</strong>ic teachings. There is nothing <strong>to</strong> be<br />

added <strong>to</strong> this religion, which has already become perfect. Rules for<br />

everything that will happen until Doomsday were declared by<br />
