Observations on Jamaa’at ut-Tableegh and Their Innovated, Shirk-Ridden Foundations, Origins, and Practices
By Shaykh Ahmad an-Najmee
The Author : Shaykh Ahmad ibn Yahya an-Najmee
His Name and Lineage
He is our noble Shaykh, the 'Allaamah, the Muhaddith, the Faqeeh, the present Muftee of the district of Jaazaan and the carrier of the Flag of the Sunnah and hadeeth in it - Shaykh Ahmad Ibn Yahyaa Ibn Muhammad Ibn Shabeer an-Najmee Aali Shabeer from Banee Hummad, one of the well known tribes of the district of Jaazaan.
His Educational Upbringing
After their 'asharee teacher left, the Shaykh, along with his two paternal uncles, Hasan Ibn Muhammad an-Najmee and Husayn Ibn Muhammad an-Najmee, began to frequently attend Shaykh al-Qar'aawee's classes for some days in the city of Saamitah, but this did not last. This was in the year 1359H. In 1360, in the month of Safar to be exact, our Shaykh joined the Madrasah Salafiyyah and recited the Qur'aan, this time under the order of Shaykh 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee (rahima-hullaah) to Shaykh 'Uthmaan Ibn 'Uthmaan Hamlee (rahima-hullaah). This was such that he recited the entire Qur'aan to him with tajweed and memorised the books "Tuhfatul-Atfaal", "Hidaayatul-Mustafeed", "Thalaathatul-Usool", "al-'Arba'een an-Nawawiyyah" and "al-Hisaab." And he perfected the discipline of handwriting.
He would sit in the study circle, which Shaykh al-Qar'aawee had set up there, until the time when the younger students departed after the Salaat az-Zhuhr. Then he would attend the circle for the elder students, which Shaykh 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee was in charge of personally teaching. So he would sit in this class from after the Salaat az-Zhuhr till the time of the Salaat al-'Ishaa.. Then after praying ('Ishaa.), he would return to his town of Najaamiyyah with his two uncles (Hasan and Husayn).
After four months, Shaykh 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee granted him permission to to be part of his study circle for elder students, which he taught himself. So he read to the Shaykh the following books: "ar-Raheebah" concerning Laws of Inheritance, "al-Aajroomiyyah" concening Arabic Grammar, "Kitaab at-Tawheed", "Buloogh al-Maraam", "al-Bayqooniyyah", "Nukhbat-ul-Fikr" with its explanation "Nuzhat-un-Nadhr", "Mukhtasaraat fee Seerah", "Tasreef al-Ghazee", "al-'Awaamil fee an-Nahw", "al-Waraqaat" concerning the Principles of Fiqh, and "al-'Aqeedah at-Tahaawiyyah" with its explanation from Shaykh 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee - this was before they had seen its explanation from Ibn Abil-'Izz al-Hanafee. He also studied parts of the book "al-Alfiyyah" of Ibn Maalik and "ad-Durar al-Bahiyyah" with its explanation "ad-Daraaree al-Madiyyah" concerning Fiqh - both of which are written by Ash-Shawkaanee, rahimahullaah. This goes as well for other books - whether there was in them those which they studied as an assigned subject, like the previously mentioned books or what they studied for cultural education in some concise treatises and small pamphlets or those books, which they would reference when researching such as Naylul-Awtaar, Zaad al-Ma'aad, Noorul-Yaqeen, al-Muwatta and al-Ummuhaat.
In 1362H, Shaykh 'Abdullaah, rahimahullaah, distributed portions of the Ummahaat (hadeeth Books) he had present in his library to his students, which consisted of Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, Sunan Abee Dawood, Sunan an-Nasaa.ee, Muwatta of Imaam Maalik. So they (his elder students) began to read these books to him, but they did not complete them because they had to depart due to a drought.
In 1364H, they returned and read them to him. so then Shaykh 'Abdullaah gave him the ijaazah (religious authorisation) to report from al-Ummahaat As-Sitt.
In 1369H, he studied under Shaykh Ibraheem Ibn Muhammad al-'Amoodee, rahimahullaah, the Judge of Saamitah at that time, two books - "Islaah al-Mujtami'a" and the book of Shaykh 'Abd-ur-Rahmaan Ibn Sa'adee, (rahima-hullaah) on Fiqh, which is organized in the form of question and answer, entitled: "al-Irshaad ilaa Ma'rifat-il-Ahkaam."
He also studied under Shaykh 'Alee Ibn Ash-Shaykh Ziyaad As-Somalee at the order of Shaykh 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee, the subject of Grammar, studying the book "al-'Awaamil fin-Nahwi Mi.ah", as well as other books on Grammar and Morphology.
In 1384H, he attended the study circles of the Shaykh, the Imaam, the 'Allaamah, the Muftee of the Saudi Lands, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ibraaheem Aal ash-Shaykh, rahimahullaah, for the length of close to two months. In these circles, he taught Tafseer Ibn Jareer At-Tabaree with the recitation of 'Abdul-'Azeez Ash-Shalhoob, with regard to the subject of tafseer. Likewise, in the same year, he attended the gatherings of our Shaykh, the Imaam, the 'Allaamah, Shaykh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn Baaz, rahimahullaah, for the length of close to a month and a half. This class was on Saheeh al-Bukhaaree and occurred between the Maghrib and 'Ishaa. prayers.
His Teachers
From what you have read it is clear that his teachers, in order, include:
1. Shaykh Ibraaheem Ibn Muhammad al-'Amoodee - the judge of Saamitah in his time
2. Shaykh Haafidh Ibn Ahmad al-Hakamee - (rahima-hullaah)
3. The Shaykh, the 'Allaamah, the Caller, the Reformer (mujaddid) of the southern part of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 'Abdullaah al-Qar'aawee - (rahima-hullaah)
4. Shaykh 'Abdu Ibn Muhammad 'Aqeel an-Najmee
5. Shaykh 'Uthmaan Ibn 'Uthmaan al-Hamlee
6. Shaykh 'Alee Ibn Ash-Shaykh 'Uthmaan Ziyaad As-Somalee
7. The Imaam, the 'Allaamah, the former Muftee of the lands of Saudi Arabia, Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ibraaheem Aal ash-Shaykh - (rahima-hullaah)
8. Shaykh Yahyaa Faqeeh 'Abasee al-Yemenee

Okay, that pretty much gets the point across, i.e. the author is knowledgable.
