[3]The Creed of The Saudi Kings [King Faysal Bin Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah)]

Saudi King Faysal Bin Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said:

”Our religion Islaam is the correct Religion, which falsehood cannot come to from before it or behind it. And we refute the one who claims that there is neither social organization nor economics and cultivation within it.”

He (rahimahullaah) also said:

”We are callers to the word of Allaah (i.e. none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah), and we are callers so that the Religion of Allaah becomes dominant over everything else. And we are not harmed by those who fabricate lies against us with that which we do not intend. Our orientation is clear.”

He (rahimahullaah) also said:

”If we wish to be nurtured upon goodness in everything, in the religious and worldly affairs; then it is obligatory upon us to hold unto this Aqeedah (of the salaf), and that we follow that which Allaah revealed through the tongue of His Messenger (i.e. the Qur’aan) and to that which His Messenger commanded.  And with this, we are guaranteed a good life for ourselves, nobility and protection, and honour only comes from Allaah. Allaah said: ”Verily, We will indeed make victorious Our Messengers and those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) in this world’s life and on the Day when the witnesses will stand forth, (i.e. Day of Resurrection).” [Soorah Ghaafir Ayah: 51].  And Allaah (The Most High) said: ”and (as for) the believers it was incumbent upon Us to help (them).” [Soorah Rum: Ayah:47]

However, the most important affair in this is that we (strive to be) true believers. So if we are true believers, then by the Might of Allaah we will be guaranteed help, safety and security, ease and nobility for us and our society. [The Nation State of Tawheed And Sunnah: pages: 53-54]


 

Is Shaving The Head Completely A Characteristic of the Khawaarij–

Question

It is reported from the characteristics of the Khawaarij that they shave their heads, is that authentic? And what does it mean?

Answer:

The characteristic of the Khawaarij is that they shave their heads, and this is a characteristic and a sign of theirs; but it is reported in the Sunnah what proves that the shaving (the head) during other than the Hajj and the Umrah (period) is permissible, and that there is no harm in it. But the prohibition is that one takes the Khawaarij as an example and imitates them.

Our Salaf: Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah)

Maalik Bin Deenaar (rahimahullaah) used to stand for long during the night whilst holding his beard and saying: ”O my Lord: Indeed, you know the dwellers of Paradise and the dwellers of the fire; so which of the two abodes is Maalik’s dwelling place?!” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:68]


How worried are we with this affair?!  If this was the concern of Maalik Bin Deenaar (a devout worshipper and man of waraa and taqwah), then how much do we worry about this afair in a day, a week, a month and in a year!?  We ask Allaah for protection from heedlessness and false hopes.

Our Salaf: Righteous actions–Ibn Ajlaan (rahimahullaah)

Ibn Ajlaan (rahimahullaah) said:

Actions cannot be righteous except with three things: ”(a)The performance of that action in obedience to Allaah and fear of His punishment if you disobey Him; (b) To have a sincere intention and (c) to reach the correctness required in that action. [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page: 16]

Our Salaf and the fear for themselves- Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (rahimahullaah)

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree’s (rahimahullaah) worry about the affair of one’s past and final deeds used to severely (affect him). So he used to weep, whilst saying: ”I fear to be (written) as a wretched person in the preserved Tablet.” And he used to say: ”I fear to be deprived of Eemaan at the time of death.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page: 68]

Entering The Toilets With A Mushaf

Question:

One of us carries the Mushaf (copy of the Qur’aan) in his pocket and may enter the toilets with it; what is the ruling on this? Benefit us (with an answer).

Answer:

Carrying the Mushaf in one’s pocket is permissible, however it is not permissible for a person to enter the toilets with the Mushaf; rather he should put it away in a decent place out of respect for the book of Allaah; but if he is compelled by necessity to enter (the toilets) with it, out of fear that it may get stolen; then it is permissible to leave it outside due to that necessity (that compelled him to enter the toilets).  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.

The Best of Actions

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

”The best of actions is the Imaan (of a person) in which there is no doubt” [Musnad Imaam Ahmad: Quoted by Shaikh Abdur-Razzaaq Al-Badr in Madkhal Lidiraasat Al-Aqeedah: Lesson: 1]
