In this powerful and comprehensive admonition, Shaykh ʿAbdullāh an-Najmī حفظه الله delivers a stern warning against the Houthi movement, exposing what he describes as its deviant Rāfiḍī Twelver creed, its origins, its beliefs, and its opposition to the Qurʾān, the Sunnah, and the methodology of the righteous predecessors. The Shaykh traces the movement’s development from Zaydism towards Twelver Shīʿism, discussing the influence of Badr al-Dīn al-Ḥūthī and the spread of Rāfiḍī doctrines in Yemen. He examines their alleged beliefs concerning the Noble Qurʾān, their declarations of disbelief against the noble Companions, their attacks upon Abū Bakr, ʿUmar, ʿUthmān, and the Mother of the Believers ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنهم, and their rejection of the authentic Sunnah of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. The Shaykh further addresses their veneration of graves and shrines, their alleged involvement in practices of shirk, magic, amulets, and superstitions, their belief in the infallibility of their Imāms, their doctrine of taqiyyah, and their belief concerning the awaited Mahdī. He also warns against their declarations of disbelief against Muslims, their rebellion against Muslim rulers, and the bloodshed, oppression, and destruction attributed to their movement. Drawing upon the statements of Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah and Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمهما الله, the Shaykh explains the dangers of religious innovation, the rejection of the prophetic narrations, and the consequences of departing from the guidance of the Qurʾān and the Sunnah. He concludes by emphasising the obligation of safeguarding one’s religion, recognising falsehood, and remaining steadfast upon the creed of Ahl al-Sunnah wa al-Jamāʿah. This lecture is a forceful call to recognise the beliefs and doctrines being criticised, to distinguish truth from falsehood, and to hold firmly to the Book of Allāh, the authentic Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, and the understanding of the noble Companions and the righteous predecessors. May Allāh protect the Muslims from misguidance, preserve their religion, rectify their affairs, and grant them steadfastness upon the truth until they meet Him.
