Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullaah

Pray you are all well. We have already posted an article asking people on our twitter list to remove all pictures of things with souls. [See link: [http://salaficentre.com/2012/04/the-most-severely-punished-people-on-the-day-of-resurrection-would-be-the-image-makers-bukhaari-muslim/]

It has come to our attention that someone has posted the photograph of Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) on twitter. The Imaam’s (rahimahullaah) stance towards photography was well known, he did not allow it; so to circulate his passport photo without his permission is a serious violation. Likewise, how would we feel if someone violated a valid stance of a dead relative of ours? Please remove that photo of the Imaam and ask others not to circulate it. May Allaah reward you.

Al-Markaz As-Salafi

Umar Bin Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said: ”Whoever brings death close to his heart, then what he has in his hand becomes much (to him)” [Hilyatul Awliyaa: 5/316]

Al-Markaz As-Salafi

From Hilaal Bin Khabbaab (rahimahullaah) who said: I said to Sa’eed Bin Jubair (rahimahullaah), ”What is the sign of destruction of the people? He said: ”When their scholars pass away” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 4/326]

Al-Markaz As-Salafi

Question:

May Allaah be gracious towards you O Noble Shaikh, the questioner says: I read in some treatises that indeed Allaah honoured the human being without giving consideration to his colour, race or religion?

Answer:

The human being has been honoured with what!? With piety; the human being has been honoured with piety, without consideration been given to his descent, colour, race, or whether he is wealthy or poor. It is incumbent that you say (honoured) with piety. ”The Most hourable of you in the sight of Allaah is the one who fears Allaah the most” [Soorah Al-Hujuraat: Ayah: 13] Yes.

And Allaah (The Most High) said: ”Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould), Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low, Save those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds…” [Soorah At-Teen: Ayah: 4-6] (Honour) is restricted with this (i.e. Taqwah).

And Allaah knows best
