Neither did it benefit Abu Taalib nor will it benefit the orientalists…Al-Allaamah Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami

Written by Abdullah Jallow on January 9, 2013. Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

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

To know who the Messenger is:

It is that you love him more than yourself, your family and wealth. It is obligatory upon the students of knowledge to know that everyone else loved for the sake of Allaah; but Allaah is not loved (for the sake of anyone else). Everyone else who is loved, starting with the Messenger first and foremost, then such a (person) is to be loved for the sake of Allaah. And for that reason if loving the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) is not (done) for the sake of Allaah, such as (loving him only) due to kinship or that he is a genius, (this) will not benefit (a person). This love did not benefit Abu Taalib and it will not benefit those orientalists who held him in high esteem because he is a genius in history and not that he is a Messenger of Allaah. It is obligatory upon the students of knowledge to be conscious of this. [Abridged: Sharh Thalaatha Al-Usool: page: 22]

Search and Benefit from the lectures of This Noble Ethiopian Scholar

Written by Abdullah Jallow on January 8, 2013. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

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

Al-Allaamah Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him and prolong his life upon goodness) said:

What I know of the Shaikh Muhammad Amaan (rahimahullaah): Indeed, the seekers of knowledge and the carriers of various lofty certificates are many; but few amongst them benefit from their knowledge and are benefitted from, and Shaikh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami is from those rare and few ones; from those scholars who are well grounded in their knowledge and efforts with regards to benefitting the Muslims and guiding them through calling to Allaah upon clear-sightedness; and by way of his teaching in the Islamic University and in the noble Masjid of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam); and by way of his tours of the foreign Islamic lands and his tours within the kingdom (of Saudi Arabia) to deliver lessons and lectures in the different districts–calling to Tawheed, disseminating the correct Aqeedah, directing the youth of the Ummah to the methodology of the pious predecessors and warning against the destructive ideologies and the misguided calls. And whoever does not know him personally will know him by way of his beneficial books and tapes which contains plentiful knowledge and benefit.’’ [End of quote. Source: Sharh Thalaathatil Usool of Shaikh Muhammad Al-Amaan: page: 14]

I [Abu Mu-aawiyyah (Abdullaah Al-Gambi)] have been informed more than once by my companion and colleague Ustaadh Abu Tasneem [Mushaf Al-Banghaalee (may Allaah preserve him)], who was a close friend and companion of Ustaadh Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank (may Allaah grant him and his wife Jannah), that he asked Dawud, saying: ”which scholar did you benefit from the most whilst you were in Saudi?” He (Dawud) said: ”Shaikh Muhammad Amaan Al-Jaami”

السلام عليكم

Inshaa Allah we will share some advice and benefits taken from tonight’s lesson on the 20th night of Safar 1434 corresponding with the 1st of January 2013, with Shaykh Hasan Marzooq Al-Banna -حفظه الله و جزاه الله خيرا-

The Shaykh -حفظه الله- said:

"Fear Allah and have Taqwa of Allah regardless of where you are, and not just when you are in the Masjid, just as the Messenger of Allah said:

“Fear Allah where ever you are”
Saheeh Al Jaami’ As Sagheer Al Albani

The Shaykh -حفظه الله-
was asked what harms and prevents a student of knowledge attaining ilm; from his answers the Shaykh said

“Bad mannerisms and laziness in acts of worship”

The Shaykh -حفظه الله- answered a question pertaining to the UK and after consultation, told the people to refer back to Al-Athariyyah and Al-Masjid As-Sunnah in London, Al Masjid As-Salafi in Birmingham and Al Markaz As-Salafi in Manchester.

A brother said I have not studied Islamic knowledge for a long time where should i start?

(Paraphasing) The Shaykh -حفظه الله-replied:

Begin with the Usool, study the likes of Al-Usool Ath-Thalaatha and Al-Qawaaidul Arba’a and Al-Usool As-Sitta, start with the small books which will strengthen and build your foundations and give you the Usool that you need.

The final benefit we will mention is that
the Shaykh -حفظه الله- said:

“The Truth is One, The Usool (of Ahlul-Sunnah) are one and they do NOT change.”

A Golden Observation of Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee

Written by Abdullah Jallow on January 1, 2013. Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

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

Al-Allaama Rabee Bin Haadee Al-Madkhali (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

I have stated more than once: Indeed, we have met Salafis in the eastern and western parts of the earth- all of them had love for one another and brotherhood upon one methodology and there was no differing between them, so the Salafi Dawah was disseminated in the eastern and western world. Then the malicious ones amongst the Yahood, the Nasaaraa, the evangelists (or missionaries) and the leaders of misguidance amongst the rawaafid (shia) and the soofiyyah noticed it-those who co-operate with the enemies of (Salafiyyah) and the misguided parties. By Allaah they co-operate with the enemies (of Salafiyyah) and there is a hidden and apparent connection between them, and they do not co-operate except in opposition to the Salafi Methodology. So they disseminated and propagated the poisons of disunity amongst the Salafis when it (i.e. Salafiyyah) spread in the eastern and western parts of the earth. They propagated the poisons of disunity in the midst of the Salafis, so they rip them apart in an evil way and there emerged a people who did not know Salafiyyah’s (true) orientation. Amongst them (i.e. those who emerged) is one who claims to be Salafi, but you do not see him except that he severs the affairs that binds Salafiyyah, due to his evil behaviour, his evil methodology or the evil methodologies that are widespread and designed to disunite the Salafis and tear them apart. Salafiyyah is in need of sensible, merciful and wise people, and even before that it is need of scholars. If these affairs are not present within the Salafis, then where will Salafiyyah be? It will be ruined. And may Allaah bless you.

This term is blindly utilised, therefore do not be deceived by it. If you hear the term Islamic Philosopher, then know that there is no such thing as Islamic Philosopher. The well-known Raazi [rahimahullaah] was a doctor, but all of them [i.e. him and those like him] were not saved from Philosophy. However, he is not regarded to be from the senior Philosophers, rather he is regarded to be from the scholars of Ilmul Kalaam [i.e. those who sought to establish the Islamic creed based on logical and intellectual arguments and not simply restricting themselves to the Qur’aan, the Sunnah and the understanding of the companions] who expressed regret at the end of his life. And even though his repentance is not explicit, however he was from those who expressed regret and regret is a type of repentance.
