The advice of our Father, Al-Murabbi, Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh
“We urge our brothers in other centers, I don't mean in Yemen only, but inside and outside Yemen, to be cooperative, to be allied with one another, to be serious, to seek the help of Allāh Almighty in cultivating the Muslim society upon brotherhood as best as they possibly can.
I swear by Allāh, I strongly rebuke many of the brothers who return to their countries and begin disputing with their Sunni brothers, and then lo and behold they want to lay the burden of these disputes which take place between the students over there; this one disputing with this one, they want to lay the burden of this on the Da'wa’s shoulders.
Why? Because so-and-so says such-and-such, and so-and-so says such-and-such.
My brother! Cultivate, rectify [the situation], refine the society, refine the community so the Salafi Da'wah flourishes in the east and the west, the south and the north, inside Yemen and in other than Yemen, like the heart of one man, as much as as the possible; this (uniting everyone) is not possible, but we try as much as possible.
We are united by the Qur’an and the Sunnah and the manhaj of the Salaf.
﴿فَمَاذَا بَعۡدَ ٱلۡحَقِّ إِلَّا ٱلضَّلَـٰلُۖ فَأَنَّىٰ تُصۡرَفُونَ﴾
“So what is beyond the truth except falsehood? How can you then be turned away?” [Sūrah Yūnus: 32]
As for the issue of leadership. This one is with so-and-so, and this one is with so-and-so, and each one seeks to outnumber the other. Leave this for the election parties. Leave it for the people of Dunya.
Is the intention behind this that this one becomes superior to this one and is raised above this one? If this is the case, the Da'wah will fail and be lost.
But the intention should be to rectify your brother's deficiency and for him to rectify your deficiency, and to help him and he to help you. This is how the da'wah is established.
There is no objection to having, for example, more than one center in one country, or even in one province, while everyone is cooperative, in alliance, mutually supportive of one another, visiting one another, and loving one another. ما شاء الله! This is radiance.
But if each one despises the other and wants to be the head and the other to be under him, and each one degrades the other and wants the other to be less than him, and each one belittles the other and wants the other to be inferior - this is disintegration.
Thus we say to some of our brothers and students, we say to them: Listen! By Allāh, we consider this one to be a Sunni and this one also to be a Sunni. Behave yourselves, and value the truth. Venerate the truth instead of venerating so-and-so. Each one venerates a separate figurehead to the other, and each one gives precedence to the figurehead on their side, and they leave off glorifying the truth and the Sunnah, then they bring disagreement/partial disagreement to the centres, regarding affairs which neither they nor the ones whom they follow have any proficiency in, meanwhile it is obligatory for them to return to correct, clear knowledge, and to take it and know what it means and to know the greatness of knowledge and the virtue of the knowledge that they themselves received and were raised upon. This is also part of the etiquette of knowledge; love of its people. This will strengthen the Sunnah and strengthen the goodness.
The Kuffār have control measures in place which they call "laws" and they adhere to them - even though it is falsehood, whereas we have control measures from the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ, if we adhere to them we will be happy in this World and the Hereafter, and we would be upon a great deal of good.”
