Tasfiyyah (Purification) & Tarbiyyah (Cultivation)

Answered by our Shaykh, the ‘Allaamah, the Sincere Adviser, Abu ‘Abdirrahman Yahya bin ‘Ali Al-Hajoori – may Allaah preserve him

Question:

Tasfiyyah is a terminology which we hear from the scholars of Ahlusunnah, especially Shaykh Al-Albaani, may Allaah have mercy upon him.
So what is the level of importance of Tasfiyyah in regards to the Salafi Da’wah?

Answer:

Tasfiyyah is as important as it can get, whereby the society will not become correct except through purification and (then) cultivation, because the society will accept every so and so without any cultivation nor any purification.

From one situation to another, the communities will be driven to disaster, and it’s feared that the consequences will be mixing of the affairs, and lack of care with ‘Aqeedah or Islamic Ethics, and understanding in the religion of Allaah.

So my advise to my brothers is that we give Tasfiyyah and Tarbiyyah it’s due and great importance, and that we take great care in it, it is a pivotal point in calling to Allaah, the Most High, and the safety of the society and especially between the students of knowledge.
