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

Abu Eesa Niamatullah [a slanderous devil] at Al-Maghrib institute attacks Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee (may Allaah protect him from the envious affiliates of the people of Bidah).

Firstly:

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said:

”And from the characteristics of the hypocrites is that they conceal the truth and are deceptive towards its people and accuse them with their diseases.  They accuse them when they enjoin good, forbid evil and call to Allaah and His Messenger.  That is because they (the hypocrites) are people of trials and are mischief makers in the earth.  And Allaah has made known to His Messenger and the believers that they (the hypocrites) are mischief makers in the earth.  And when the inheritors of the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) call them to the Book of Allaah and to the Sunnah of His Messenger, particularly to that which is unadulterated, they accuse them of innovation and misguidance.   And when they see them being ones who abstain from the dunyah, having a fervent desire for the afterlife and traversing the path of obedience to Allaah and His Messenger, they accuse them of falsehood and deception. And when they see them with the truth, they mix it with falsehood and give that out to those of weak intellect–turning it into something repugnant in order to make them flee from it.  And if they (the hypocrites) have with them falsehood, they disguise it with the garment of truth and give it out-turning it into something that would be accepted from them. [Source: Tareequl Hijratayn (503)]

Indeed, the slanderous statements of Niamatullah [an affiliate of Al-Maghrib Institute] are based on nothing else but hatred for that which Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon propagate against their figureheads and organizations of bidah and misguidance. So he unleashes his vile tongue against Shaikh Rabee and the Salafiyyoon—a behaviour similar to that of the hypocrites.  Obviously we do not mean that he is a hypocrite in belief; rather this behaviour of his is similar to that of the hypocrites, as Imaam Ibnul Qayyim said: ‘’And when they (i.e. hypocrites)  see them (i.e. the people of truth) with the truth, they mix it with falsehood and give that out to those of weak intellect–turning it into something repugnant in order to make them flee from it.  And if they (the hypocrites) have with them falsehood, they disguise it with the garment of truth and give it out-turning it into something that would be accepted from them.’’

Secondly:

This slanderous devil has the audacity to describe Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon as fake salafis who have been exposed by the fitnah;  — what is the fitnah intended by this slanderer and why did he use the word Madkhalees?! Indeed, the only people known to use this word in their attacks are the people of hizbiyyah and bidah–those who habour great hatred and enmity towards Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (may Allaah protect him from the lies and enmity of this slanderous devil) because he exposes their corrupt views, deviated organizations and figureheads of bidah .  This is what angers the likes of this slanderer and others similar to him.  They hate Shaikh Rabee and refer to those who transmit his refutations as Madkhalees.  However, this slanderous devil revealed his true state of affairs after signing the pledge of mutual co-operation with some of the representatives of the sects of Major Shirk and Bidah.  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 (jarraboohu wamtahinoohu)… [minhaaj-as-sunnah 8/475] [Translation: Salafipublications.com]

Indeed one of the Salaf said: “The one who is silent about the truth is a silent devil, while the one who speaks falsehood is a speaking devil.” [Quoted in Ad-Durar as-Saniyyah’; 8/75-79]

Abu Eesa is a speaking devil whose hatred is directed at one of the major scholars of this era; rather a scholar with recommendations from the Imaams of Ahlus Sunnah in this era, such as the likes of Imaam Al-Albaanee (rahimahullaah), Imaam Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) and Imam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah).  This slanderous devil has no proof to justify his statements, rather he is just another loud mouthed devil who wishes that Al-Allaamah Rabee and the Salafiyyoon should not expose the institutions and  figureheads of bidah he is affiliated with.  May Allaah guide him or protect us from the manifest falsehood he is upon.

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

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Qur'aan.

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…’’

Our Salaf: The Night prayer-Thaabit Al-Bunaanee and Maymoon Ibn Mehraan

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Thaabit Al-Bunaanee (rahimahullaah) used to pray at night and fast during the day.  He used to say: ‘’There is nothing I find more pleasing to my heart than Qiyaamul Layl (i.e. Tahajjud)’’ [Sifatus Safwah 3/262]

Maymoon Ibn Mehraan (rahimahullaah) said:

”The nobility of a Muslim is in performing the prayer in the darkness of night and not being desperate for what is in the hands of the people (i.e. their possessions) [Shu’ab Al-Imaan 3/171]

We ask Allaah to grant us the tawfeeq to follow the example of our Salaf. However, if Allaah grants you the Tawfeeq to wake up for the night prayer, do not stand up all night and then oversleep and miss fajr; rather ask Allaah for tawfeeq to wake up in the last third of the night until the beginning of Fajr.

Mahmood Al-Warraaq (rahimahullaah) said:

”The most perfect amongst the people is the one who is more knowledgeable about his shortcomings and suppresses his desires and covetousness the most.” [Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa Fadlihi 1/259]

 

The best means of seeking closeness to Allaah

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]

 

Is it permissible or possible for her to teach? – Shaykh Ghudayyaan (rahimahullaah)

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The ruling on studying in the mosques at the hands of one who took knowledge from the books and cassette tapes.

Question

May Allaah bestow good to you and bless you–The questioner of this question asks and she says:  A female Muslim seeks knowledge through translated books and cassette tapes and she has the opportunity to contact the scholars with regards what she finds difficult; is it permissible or possible for her to teach the female Muslims in the Masjid due to the absence of others who can teach the affairs of Manners, Aqeedah and Manhaj?

Answer

What is known is that a person is to take knowledge from the mouth of the scholars and every (type of) knowledge is taken from a person who is well established in that knowledge.  So when one wants to acquire the knowledge of the Tafseer of the Qur’aan, he takes it from a person who is well established in this knowledge, and this is how it is with all the other  sciences-this is the means.

The second means: Indeed a person reads the books; but he should not read the books and depend on them, except if he is qualified to understand them in a correct manner; because if he has deficiencies in his understanding, then indeed he will understand something in a manner other than what it is.  Thereafter, he speaks with what he understands and what he speaks with is a mistake, so people act upon what he explains to them in a wrong manner and he carries their sins.

And with regards to this woman, I advise her that she does not teach based on the fact that she read the books without anyone explaining these books to her. This is the answer to this question. [End]

‘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

Wa Sallallahu Alaa Nabiyinaa Muhammad Wa ‘Alaa Aalihi Was Sahbihi Ajma’een

Who do we take our Knowledge from? – Shaykh Fawzaan

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Fatawa-Rulings, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Question

A man teaches the people the sciences of the Islamic legislation and the Aqeedah of the Salaf even though he did not acquire knowledge from the mashaayikh and the scholars; is knowledge taken from him?

Answer

As long as he does not have foundation from the scholars (i.e. did not acquire knowledge from them in person and has no recommendations for that), rather he sought (knowledge) from papers and books, then knowledge is not taken from him because he does not understand the Madhab of the salaf.  And it (i.e. Madhab of the Salaf) is not understood except by studying under the scholars.  (It) is acquired (from the scholars)–this knowledge is (acquired from the scholars) and not only through reading. It is acquired (through the scholars), but reading is only an aid and not depended on. The likes of this (person) is called a Muta-aalim* and knowledge is not taken from him.

– Shaykh Saleh al-Fawzaan

*Muta-aalim: [i.e. someone who feigns knowledge and understanding but does/did not seek knowledge directly from the people of knowledge.
