THE LINK BETWEEN THE RAWAAFIDH AND THE JEWS
The seventh and eighth centuries passed by and there wasn’t to be found in Al Madeenah except the Rawaafidh, and likewise in Makkah. This was mentioned by Ibn Taymiyyah and Adh Dhahabee and As Sakhaawee, and I believe that there is not to be found an enemy against the Muslims the like of the Rawaafidh and the Jews. So as for the Rawaafidh then their father was ‘Abdullaah bin Saba – and he was a Jew, and Shaikh ul Islaam wrote a chapter in Minhaaj as-Sunnah clarifying the resemblance of the Rawaafidh with the Jews. Yet if there were a Sultaan (ruler) from amongst the Muslims who ruled over the Rawaafidh and the Jews – he would not be safe from their deception/double dealing; and the Rawaafidh know concerning Islaam absolutely nothing.
