A bit more detail needed on this post – “What Yusuf (alayhis-salaam) possessed of knowledge and Imaan”

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

”He (Yusuf) knew that he is not able to avert it on his own, and that if his Lord did not protect him and avert their (i.e. the women) plot, he would have inclined towards them by way of (human) nature and thus become of the ignorant ones.  This is from Yusuf’s perfect knowledge about his Lord and himself (as a human being). [Updated: Sharh Al-Asbaab Wal-Amaal Alatee Yudaa-afu Bihaa Ath-Thawaab of Imaam as-Saa’di page: 58:see link: http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=29&Topic=9966: Post Number 6]

Additional Detail for more clarity

Concerning the Aayaat 23 and 24 Soorah Yusuf:

‘’And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), she closed the doors and said: “Come on, O you.” He said: “I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! Truly, he (your husband) is my master! He made my stay agreeable! (So I will never betray him). Verily, the Zalimun (wrong and evil-doers) will never be successful.” [Ayah: 23]

‘’And indeed she did desire him and he would have inclined to her desire, had he not seen the evidence of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might turn away from him evil and illegal sexual intercourse. Surely, he was one of Our chosen, guided slaves.’’[Ayah:24]

Imaam as-Saa’di (rahimahullaah) said about the part of the verse: ‘’Had he not seen the evidence of his Lord;’’ That is what he possessed of knowledge and Eemaan which necessitates abandonment of everything that Allaah has forbidden—and which necessitated that he would distance himself and abstain from this major sin, and he (Yusuf) said: “I seek refuge in Allah (or Allah forbid)! That is: I seek refuge with Allaah that I should (ever) commit this ugly deed, because it is from that which angers Allaah….

Concerning the Ayah:

‘’Unless You turn away their plot from me, I will feel inclined towards them and be one (of those who commit sin and deserve blame or those who do deeds) of the ignorants.’’ [Noble Qur’aan- Shaikh Taqiyudeen Al-Hilaali and Dr Muhsin khan. Soorah Yoosuf Ayah: 33]

Imaam Ibn Katheer (rahimahullaah) said:

‘’If You abandon me and I am reliant on myself, then I have no power over myself, nor can I bring harm or benefit to myself, except with Your power and will. Verily, You are sought for each and everything, and our total reliance is on You Alone for each and everything. Please, do not abandon me and leave me to rely on myself.’’ [Tafseer Ibn katheer]

Conclusion:

So, Yusuf (alayhis-salaam) relied upon Allaah and acknowledged the absolute Power and Might of his Lord in repelling harm and bringing benefit, and that he cannot repel harm or bring benefit except by the Might and Power of his Lord.  And his knowledge and awareness of Allaah, and Imaan in Allaah necessitated that he greatly abhorred the evil deed he was been called to, and he was definitely going to turn away from it by the will of Allaah (The Most High).  Thus Imaam as-Saa’di said: ‘’That is what he (Yusuf) possessed of knowledge and Eemaan which necessitates abandonment of everything that Allaah has forbidden—and which necessitated that he would distance himself and abstain from this major sin…’’

You are either a false accuser or an ill-informed one! Rebuttal of weak doubts.

Do we blindly follow the Scholars: [Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Fawzaan, Shaikh Zaid etc] or the Salafi students within and outside of the UK- Where is your proof?!

Ibn Abdul-Barr (rahimahullaah) said:

“According to the scholars, Taqleed (i.e. blind adherence) is other than Ittibaa [i.e. adherence to an authentic affair narrated from the Messenger-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and obviously with the correct understanding of the Salaf]; because ittibaa is to follow a person based on what is apparent to you of the superiority of his statement and soundness of his school of thought. And Taqleed is that you speak with his statement, whilst you neither know the angle of his speech nor its meaning and you reject speech besides it; or his mistake is made manifest to you, but you follow him and venerate his opposition, whilst the corruptness of his speech is clear to you. This is what is forbidden to speak with in the religion of Allaah (The Most High)”

Do not be deceived by Abu Suhaib Bassam and other false claimants to clarity

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Ali Hassan Al Halabi, Articles, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Abu Suhaib Bassaam has a Tazkiyah from a Mubtadi and keeps the company of the supporters of that Mubtadi

Ali Halabi Al-Mubtadi wrote: Praise be to Allah, and the benediction and salutation on the Messenger of Allah on his progeny and his companions and those who follow him After that: Verily our brother in the cause of Allah, Abu Sohaib Bassam Abul Haj is from among our brothers from the salafiyyun known with us for the propagation of faith to Allah’s book and the Sunnah upon the manhaj of the salaf, refuting the deviated people of innovation. May Allah grant us the right aptitude and every virtue returns to Him.” [End of Quote—original Tazkiyah in Arabic available on the net]

This above recommendation is from the Mubtadi Ali Halabi to Abu Suhaib Bassaam Alee Haaj.  There are no statements of Abu Suhaib freeing himself from this deceitful Mubtadi; rather he entered the city of Manchester as a guest of Masjid As-Sunnah—the supporters, helpers, companions and staunch followers of Ali Halabi Al-Mubtadi, Muhammad al Maghraawi Al-Mubtadi At-Takfeeri and Abul Hasan Al-Maribi Al-Mubtadi Al-Ikhwaani. Indeed, we hope that the following is sufficient as reminder for Abu Suhaib and those deceived by him.

When Sufyaan ath-Thawree came to Basrah, he began to look into the affair of ar-Rabee’ bin Subaih and the people’s estimation of him. He asked them, ‘What is his Madhhab?’ and they said, ‘His madhhab is but the Sunnah.’ He then asked, ‘Who is his companionship?’ And they replied, ‘The people of Qadr.’ So he replied, ‘In that case he is a Qadari.’ [Al-Ibaanah (2/453)]

Ibn Battah said:

“So fear Allaah, O Muslims! The good opinion you have of yourself and the knowledge you have that you are on the correct way, should not lead you to risk your Deen by sitting down with some of these people of desires, thinking, ‘I will intrude upon them in order to debate with them or to expose their ideas.’ However, they are more severe form of Fitnah than the dajjal, and their speech clings to a person more strongly than a severe itch, and can burn the hearts more than a blazing flame can. And I have seen a group of people who used to curse and revile the People of Desires. Then they went and sat with them in order to contest with them and refute them. Then the cheerful, open attitude, the hidden deception and the subtle disbelief continued until they became inclined towards them.” [Source of narration: Al-Ibaanah 2/470]

Abu Suhaib is well aware of the detail refutations of the Scholars against Halabi and his innovations, however he takes pride in halabi’s recommendations and keeps company with the staunch followers of halabi at Masjid As-Sunnah.  So do not be fooled by the Abu Suhaib and the deceitful false claimants to clarity.

And Allaah knows best

Mahmood Al-Warraaq (rahimahullaah) said:

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah] said that Abu Hafs [rahimahullaah] said, ”The best of that which a slave seeks a means of closeness to his Mawlaa [his Protector, Patron, Supporter (i.e. Allaah)] is to be constantly in need of Him in all circumstances, holding onto the Sunnah in all his actions and seeking nourishment [i.e. food] through permissible means.” [Tareequl Hijratayn: page 59]

Here is an audio for clarification, so that none in Manchester or elsewhere make any claims in order to raise themselves beyond what is due; or seek to diminish the rightful status of others.

We ask Allaah for humility and truthfulness.

‘Seal Ramadhaan with Istighfaar’ by Ustaadh Abu Hakeem

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fasting, Purification of The Soul, Ramadhan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Bismillahi Wal Hamdullillah Was Salaatu Was Salaamu ‘alaa Rasoolillahi

Ammaa Ba’d:

With this the final day of the blessed month of Ramadhaan, no doubt it grieves us to see it end with such quickness. And it the likes of this rapid movement of time that we witness that brings to mind the like of the statement of the Sahaabi Al Jaleel Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood – Radhiyallahu ‘Anhu who said:

“I have not grieved over anything the way I grieve over a day that the sun sets, my determined period shortens, and I have not increased in my actions“

But keep in mind constantly that the affairs are by ones final actions (as occurs in an authentic hadeeth), so let the end of this month of Ramadhaan be with Istighfaar (seeking forgiveness) from Allah and Taubah (repentance).  For certainly Istighfaar is the seal of righteous actions. Allah the most high said to his Messenger – Sallallahu alaihi was Salam at the end of his life:

“When comes the help of Allah and the conquest (of Makkah), And you see that the people enter Allah’s religion in crowds,Then glorify the praise of your lord (declare him free of imperfections) and seek his forgiveness. Verily he is the one who accepts the repentance and forgives.” (Suratun Nasr)

Allah the most high similarly commands the Hujaaj (Pilgrims) when they have finished their rites to make istighfaar “Then depart from the place whence all the people depart and ask Allah for his forgiveness. Truly Allah is Oft Forgiving Most Merciful“ (Suratul Baqarah Vs 199)

And the examples of this are many.  Likewise the Salaf of this Ummah would fear their actions being rejected after their performance, as Allah informs us:

“And those who give (in charity) that which they give, with their hearts full of fear (whether their charity has been accepted or not) because they are sure to return to their Lord (for reckoning)” (Suratul Mu’minoon Vs 60)

Where are such feelings within us as this month comes to an end? As Ali – Radhiyallahu anhu mentioned: “Be as ardent upon your actions being accepted as you are upon the performance of the action, have you not heard the statement of Allah: “Indeed Allah accepts only from those who are muttaqoon (God-fearing)”
(Suratul Maa’idah Vs 27)

May Allah accept our Fast, our salaah and our righteous actions and grant us a blessed Eid Inshallah
