Two Essential Matters for Establishing the Call to Allah’s Path: Adherence to the Shariah; Brotherhood and Love for the Sake of Allah

Al-Allamah Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Mad’khali, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

إن الْحَمْد لِلَّهِ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا, و من سيئات أعمالنا, مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلا مُضِلَّ لَهُ, وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلا هَادِيَ لَهُ, وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَه وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.

أما بعد :
فإن اصدق الحديث كلام الله, و خير الهدي هدي محمد صلى الله عليه و سلم, و شر الأمور محدثاتها, و كل محدثة بدعة, و كل بدعة ضلالة, و كل ضلالة في النار.
مرحبا بالأحبة في هذا اللقاء المبارك الذي نسأل الله تبارك و تعالى أن يوفقنا فيه لقول الحق و الصواب, و أن يجعل من السامعين آذانا صاغية, و قلوباً واعية, و أن يجعل الجميع من الذين يستمعون القول فيتبعون أحسنه.
وفي هذا اللقاء أحب أن أتكلم معكم بأمرين هامين جدا:
أحدهما :الحث على الاعتصام بكتاب الله , و سنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم.
والأمر الثاني: الحث على التآخي في الله و التحاب فيه

Indeed, all praise and thanks is due to Allah. We ask Him for help and forgiveness, and we seek refuge in Allah from the evils within ourselves and the evil results of our actions. Whoever Allah guides, none can misguide, and whoever He (allows to) stray, none can guide. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, who is alone without partners, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. To proceed:

The most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is that of Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. The eviliest of all matters are the newly invented (in the religion), every newly invented matter (in the religion) is a Bidah, every Bidah is a misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire.

Welcome, beloved brothers, to this blessed gathering. We ask Allah, The Blessed and Most High, to bless us with the ability to utter truth and correctness, make the listeners attentive and  the hearts fully aware (thoroughly conscious), make everyone among those who hear the speech (or admonition) and follow the best of it.

In this gathering, I would like to speak about two very important matters: exhortation to adherence to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and exhortation to brotherhood for the sake of Allah and loving one another for His sake. These are two essential matters for the establishment of the call to Allah, the Blessed and Most High.

To be continued InShaaAllah.

الحب في الله والاعتصام بحبله.
