The Best or The Most-Imaam Shanqeetee

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Monotheism - Tawheed, Qur'aan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

 وَهُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ وَكَانَ عَرْشُهُ

عَلَى الْمَاءِ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ أَيُّكُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا

”And He it is Who has created the heavens and the earth in six Days and His Throne was on the water, that He might try you, which of you is the best in deeds.” [Soorah Hud: Ayah: 7].   He (The Most High) did not say: ”which of you has the most deeds.”

Our Salaf: Bishr Ibn Mansoor-Minimise the (number) of people you (want) to know

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

He (rahimahullaah) said: ”Minimise (the number) of people you (want) to know because you do not know what is going to happen; for if it is going to be open disgrace on the day of standing (i.e. day of judgement), then those who know you will be few.”

Bishr (rahimahullaah) once prayed for a long time and a man behind him was looking at him; so when Bishr finished, he reminded the man, saying: ”Do not be amazed by what you saw from me, because Iblees worshipped Allaah alongside the Angels for such and such time (i.e. before Iblees was cursed and condemned for his disobedience).

Our Salaf: Amr Ibn Deenaar (rahimahullaah)–his ears were bounded to the scholars

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Ibn Taawoos (rahimahullaah) said: My father (rahimahullaah) said: When you arrive in Makkah sit with Amr Ibn Deenaar, because his ears used to be bounded to the scholars.  He used to sleep one third of the night, spoke (about knowledge in the second) one third and prayed in the (last) third.  Ibn Uyaynah (rahimahullaah) said: I sat with Amr for two years and he never made a statement that harmed me.

[Part 1] The Reality of Abu Eesaa Niamatullaah–A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations.

All praise be to Allaah and may His Salaah and Salaam be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and companions.  To proceed:

 

Indeed, the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’Three things destroy: The greed that is obeyed, the desires that are followed and a person being amazed with his own opinion. [Silsilah Al-hadeeth as-saheehah: Number: 1802: 4/412-416]

 

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

This (i.e. these three affairs) are never in harmony with a (person’s) complete return to the command of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) [For further details: See:  Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page: 35].

 

The Shaikh also said:

Indeed the great religion of Islaam is founded upon knowledge and not ignorance; but when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…[end of quote] [For further details see: Ash-Shi-aaraat Wahdahaa Laa Takfee: page:39 and footnote number 1]

 

This short article is a reminder to the salafi brothers and sisters in Manchester concerning the real state of affairs of Abu Eesaa Niqmatullaah.  This brother is well known to the Salafiyyoon at Al-Markaz As-Salafi (Cheethamhill–Manchester).  He is a deceiver and caller to some of the people of bidah and hizbiyyah.  His companionship with some of the people of bidah is well-known; rather he openly declares his allegiance to such people.  Although he may utter statements which the common people regard to be in harmony with the Manhaj of the Salaf, however this is all in contradiction to his real state of affairs.  Shaikh Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’The sensible person does not (merely) look at what is apparent, rather he looks at the reality.’’ [Al-Uboodiyyah]

The Reality of Abu Eesaa Niqmatullaah

Reader: After reading the following narrations of the Salaf, then visit the link below them to find out the reality of Abu Eesaa

 

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’And Imaan is known about a man, just as all the states of his heart are known by way of his (outward) allegiances, enmities, his rejoicing, anger, hunger, thirst, and other such affairs.  For these matters have certain outward binding necessities [Lawaazim Dhaahirah] and the outward matters necessitate inward matters.  And this is a matter known, the people know this concerning the one that they have experienced and tested.  [Minhaajus Sunnah: 8/475][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Ibn Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Indeed a person walks alongside and accompanies the one whom he loves and who is like him.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/2476] [http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

Whoever hides his innovation from us will not be able to hide his companionship from us.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/476][ http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Al-Amash (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’They (salaf) did not used to ask anything more about a person after having asked about three affairs: Who he walks with, who he enter upon (i.e. visits) and who he associates with amongst the people.’’ [Al-Ibaanah:2/478][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Abdullaah Bin Mas’ood (radiyallaahu-anhu) said:

Make consideration of the (regions of the) earth by the names given to them and make consideration of a person by his companion.’’ [2/479][http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]

 

Muhammad Bin Ubaid (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’The Ahlul Ahwaa (people of desires) hide everything except their intimate friendship and companionship.’’ [Al-Ibaanah: 2/482] [http://www.salafipublications.com/sp…articlePages=1]


 Abu Eesaa (Niqmatullaah) and Yaasir Qaadhi Signed the Pledge of Mutual Respect and Cooperation along with a group of extreme Soofees, Jahmee, Ash’aree, Dervish, Muqallid callers to innovation….

Reader: Ponder again upon the words of Shaikh Raslaan:

But when a person is amazed with himself and his opinion, and when splitting occurs in the Ummah in the big affairs of knowledge and every foolish one formulates his own independent judgement; there comes about an uncontrollable chaos and it then proceeds upon a path that has no halter, and then it becomes an affair of trial, corruption, confusion and deviation, and an affair in which truth is confounded with falsehood…

 

 

We ask Allaah for safety

Our Salaf: Al-Hasan

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah) said: The soul of the son of Aadam does not exit this world, except with a loss in three (things): [1] It did not satisfy itself with what it gathered (of the worldly things); [2] It did not achieve what it hoped for; [3] It did not increase in perfecting what is sent forth (for it of good deeds in the hereafter).

He was a son of Alqama Ibn Qais’s brother.  He narrated (knowledge) from AbuBakr and Umar (radiyallaahu-anhumaa).  He used to observe fasting (a lot).  He performed between forty hajjs and Umras.  He was a Faqeeh (a scholar of piety and precise understanding) and a Zaahid (i.e. one who abstained from the permissible but unnecessary worldly pleasures).  Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Aswad used to (finish) recitation of the Qur’aan in two nights during the month of Ramadaan and in six days in other than Ramadaan.  And Alqamah used to (finish) its recitation) in five days.

Stories of the Scholars [2004 – 2010] Sh.Mohammad al-Banna part 2

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

An affair that is not hidden is the firm and resolute manner in which the Salaf us-Salih clung to the Qur’an and Sunnah, the narrations with that regard are many and great. Therafter, the great scholars of the Sunnah have similarly clung firmly to this blessed methodology just as the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم  stated, “عضوا عليها بالنواجذ” cling onto it with the molar teeth. It is this firm stance in defence and implementation of this methodology that distinguishes ahlus-Sunnah as treading upon the centre route, just as Shaikh ul-Islam ibn Taymiyyah stated, “…just as Islam is in the centre between the other religions, then ahlus-Sunnah are in the centre between the [deviations] of the other sects….”. Hence there is no allowable place for opinions or logic in the face of the evidence when it is presented, as ‘Ali ibn abi Talib رضي الله عنه stated, “if this religion was based upon opinions and logic then wiping the bottom of the leather sock [or socks] would be given precedence…however the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم commanded that the top be wiped”.

In a recent story we saw the effort, persistence and striving of our noble Shaikh even in the time nearing his departure from this world, in this incident the firm and resolute stance of the Shaikh in clinging to the Sunnah will also be evident. On a particular occasion we travelled to Makkah and similarly visited the Shaikh as was the habit, we departed from the Masjid after the ‘Isha prayer and accompanied the Shaikh toward his car. The Shaikh was in his wheel chair and we walked alongside him. A question was posed to the Shaikh regarding a particular practice on the day of ‘Eid and whether it is from the sunnah to do so or not? The Shaikh replied it is not evidenced from the companions they would do it, at this point I stated that perhaps it could be allowable in any case as a tradition or custom of the people?

So the Shaikh – whilst in his wheelchair and I standing besides him – grasped me with a firm handhold with strength from the region of my collar and stated, “And do we follow the traditions and customs of the people or the authentic Sunnah?”

The affair was clearly understood by all present! However, the firm stance of the Shaikh in implementing the Sunnah was a lesson to us all, as well as the kindness and love of the Shaikh to benefit the people, for indeed the act of grasping the collar was upon kindness in clarifying and making blatant the status of the Sunnah to this group of youth.

May Allah have mercy upon the noble Shaikh and maintain us upon steadfastness in learning and practicing the truth.

Our Salaf–Yahyah Al-Qattaan and Yazeed Bin Haaroon

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Abdullaah Bin Ahmad Bin Hanbal (rahimahullaah) said: I heard my father saying: ”Yahyah Al-Qattaan related to me (about such and such).  My eyes have never seen (someone) similar to him.” [Sifatus Safwa: 3/365]

 

Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) said: ”He (Yazeed) was a figurehead in knowledge, trustworthiness and a great proof.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/358]

 

Ibn Abee Haatim (rahimahullaah) said: I asked my father about Yazeed Bin Haaroon, so he said: ”Reliable, an Imaam and truthful in hadeeth.  The likes of him should not be asked about.” [Al-Jarh Wat-tadeel: 9/295]

 

Imaam Dhahabee (rahimahullaah) said: ”Indeed, Yazeed was a figurehead in the Sunnah, having enmity towards the Jahmiyyah and rejected their false interpretations regarding Allaah’s Istiwaa.’’ [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 9/362]
