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

He (rahimahullaah) said:

”Do not accept an invitation, except the invitation of one whom your hearts feel good/are at ease about his food.”

 

He (rahimahullaah) said:

 ”Wealth used to be  hated in the past, but today it is the armour of the believer.”

 

He (rahimahullaah) said:

”The lawful does not carry extravagance.”

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.

The Purpose of Knowledge: Reminder for Birmingham Salafi Conference

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Seeking Knowledge.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

By the blessing of Allah سبحانه و تعالى the annual conference will be held at al-Masjid as-Salafi in Birmingham this weekend 21st – 23rd September. A gathering for 3 days wherein the hearts of Salafiyyoon nationally as well as globally will be united in one location, for indeed only yesterday we were informed of the impending arrival of brothers travelling thousands of miles from the Sub-Continent to attend and benefit, purely for the sake of knowledge…may Allah reward them and increase them in knowledge, as all others similarly who strive for the understanding of the Qur’an and Sunnah.

Upon this occasion we remind ourselves of an important affair; indeed it is the affair concerning the purpose of seeking knowledge. Shaikh Ahmad Baazmool stated in his book, “Explanation of the Statement of Ibn Seereen – Indeed this Knowledge is Religion” [p82 – 83], “The intent or purpose behind knowledge is that you can worship Allah upon insight and understanding, and that fear of Allah occurs for you, and that you follow that which the prophet صلى الله عليه و سلم and his companions were upon, and the purpose from knowledge is not [simply] gathering information nor to boast with it, for knowledge is not intended in of itself, rather it is a means to gaining closeness to Allah the Most High.

Ibn Mas’ood stated, ” Knowledge is not plentiful narrations, rather knowledge is fear of Allah”

Sufyaan at-Thawry stated, “Hadith is only sought in order to fear Allah with [in fulfilling obligations and refraining from prohibitions], consequently this knowledge is preferred over other [types] of knowledge, and was it not for that it would be just like the other sciences”

Malik bin Anas stated, “Knowledge is not plentiful narrations, rather it is a light Allah places in the hearts”

We advise ourselves and all our brothers and sisters who are able to attend to make the effort to do so, for indeed within such gatherings based upon the learning of the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the Methodology of the Salaf is great benefit. As we advise ourselves and others to purify our intentions for the sake of Allah and to indeed ask Allah for aid and assistance in seeking knowledge, in order that we remove the ignorance from ourselves, our parents and families and the people.

Indeed, as some of the Salaf us-Salih would state, perhaps a single word that enters the heart and is acted upon may ultimately be the saviour on the Day of Recompense, hence never delay in seeking knowledge of this blessed religion, nor feel at ease or comfort considering you have sufficed yourself….for certainly the Salaf never did.

May Allah reward our brothers in the organisation of this event, and may it be a means of guidance, goodness and benefit for all those who participate.

[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

To be continued…..Inshaa-Allaah

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.
