16 Expats Arrested for Practicing Sufism
Staff Writer
AL-JOUF, 29 September 2003 — The Kingdom’s religious police have arrested 16 expatriate workers after raiding a house in Sakaka, the capital of the northern Al-Jouf region, for allegedly practicing sufism, Al-Madinah reported yesterday.
The paper said officials of the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice entered the house at about 11 p.m. after receiving a tip-off. The officials seized a large number of videocassettes, magazines and other publications which the expatriates were using to spread sufism.
Al-Madinah said it learned that the religious police had arrested the leader of the group and confiscated a picture of him which his supporters venerated. The group has lived in the area for several years and has been in the habit of distributing sufi writings among the expatriate community. The commission’s officials have handed the group over to security authorities for further action.
In Alkharma, the commission’s officials also raided an expatriate house which was used as a place to produce and distribute pornographic films.
Commission sources told Al-Jazirah daily that the officials raided the house in the Nuzha district of Alkharma after observing illegal activities.
The raid was carried out under the leadership of Obaid Al-Osaimi and Ali Al-Subaie on Friday evening and the commission arrested all members of the group. They also confiscated videocassettes, computer discs, television and video sets and other equipment used in the production of pornographic films.

Rank of the Scholars of Islam
from musab qureshi on salafitalk....
What follows is a transcription of a beautiful quotation from one of the Mutaqadimeen, Imaam Al-Aajuree;
he states in the introduction to his book “Akhlaaq al-‘Ulamaa”:
“Allaah, sanctified are His names, singled out those of his creation whom he loved and then guided them to eeman.
He further Singled out from amongst the believers those whom He Loved and Favored them by teaching them the Book and Hikmah.
He granted them the tawfeeq in the religion, taught them the explanation and favored them over the rest of the believers.
This is the case in every age and place.
Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’aalaa) elevated them with knowledge and adorned them with forbearance.
Through them, the lawful is known from the unlawful, the truth from falsehood, the harmful from the beneficial, and the good from the bad.
Their virtue is enormous and their standing is great.
They are the heirs to the Prophets and a pleasure to the eyes of the righteous.
The fish in the sea seek forgiveness for them, the Angels lower their wings for them and they are second after the Prophets who will intercede on the (Day of) Resurrection.
Their gatherings impart wisdom. Through their actions, the heedless are restrained and scolded.
They are the best of the slaves and are higher in rank then the zuhaad (i.e., ascetics).
Their life is a treasure and their death is a calamity.
They remind the negligent and enlighten the ignorant.
Trouble and ill treatment is not expected or feared from them.
By their fine instruction, the obedient ones dispute and by their eloquent sermon, the slack ones return.
Everyone is in need of their knowledge… so they are the lamps for the servants, the landmarks of communities, the backbone of the Ummah, and the sources of wisdom.
They are the subject of Shaytaan’s rage.
Because of them, the hearts of the people of truth come to life and the hearts of the people of deviation die.
Their similitude upon this earth is that of the stars; they guide one in the darkness of the land and sea.
If the stars blacken out, people become confused and when the darkness unveils the stars, they see.”
