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

Shaikh Raslaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent within circumstances concerning which a Muslim cannot say: ”Indeed, the circumstances in which we live in more evil and more deprave in its depravity than (the circumstances in which the Prophet was sent).”   (That is) because the Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) was sent to a disbelieving people and he guided them through one way and one path-to worship one Lord, one God, The Perfect Lord and Master upon Whom all the creation depends and He is self-sufficient, The Unique One in His Names, Attributes and Actions. There is neither another true God (worthy of worship) besides Him nor another true Lord (i.e. the creator, provider and controller of the affairs of the creation) besides Him.

Therefore, the path [of Prophet-salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam in calling to Allaah in those circumstances] was one, and it path the (way) that the Messengers brought.  The Prophet (salal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) called the Ummatud Dawah (i.e. the nation that had not yet accepted the message of Islaam) to that which is obligatory for today’s Ummatul Ijaabah (i.e. the nation that has already accepted the call of Islaam) to call to.

Is Shisha Halal or Haram? – Permanent Committee of Scholars

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Many of the Muslims young and old have fallen into the fitnah of smoking; and in recent times the fitnah of “Shisha” has spread exponentially, so much so we would be hard pressed if we did not know or know of someone who has not been affected by this evil.

And many are deceived by Shaytaan and attempt to make a distinction between smoking of cigarettes and shisha.

May Allah protect us from being deceived by the accursed Shaytaan and following our desires in opposition to the truth.

The Permanent Committee of Scholars said:

Shisha, hookah and smoking are from the khabaa’ith (evil, unlawful things) and they are haraam (prohibited), due to that which they contain of harm to the body and to the wealth.

And Allah the Most High said in description of his Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه و سلم):

وَيُحِلُّ لَهُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَيُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَبَائِثَ

And He allows them as lawful At-Taiyibat [(i.e. all good and lawful) as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.], and prohibits them as unlawful Al-Khaba’ith (i.e. all evil and unlawful as regards things, deeds, beliefs, persons, foods, etc.)

Surah Al-A’raaf Verse 157

And it is affirmed upon the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه و سلم) that he said:

” There should be neither harming not reciprocating harm”

Related by Ibn Mājah, al-Dārqutnī

Therefore it is impermissible to use these things, to sell them or to promote them.

Fasting The Day of Ashooraa–Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Muharram and Ashoorah.

Question:

What is the ruling on fasting the day of Ashoora? Is it better to fast the day which is before or the day after it or to fast all of them together or fast the day of Ashooraa alone?

 

Answer:

Fasting the day of Ashooraa is a Sunnah due to what has been established in the authentic narrations of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) in indication to that.  And it (Ashooraa) was a day which the Jews fasted because it was the day in which Allah saved Moosaa (عليه السلام) and his people and destroyed Firawn and his people; so our Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وسلم) fasted it as (an act of) gratefulness to Allah.  He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) authorized fasting (the day of ashooraa) and legislated for us to fast a day before or after it.  To fast the 9th along with the 10th is better, and if the 10th is fasted along with the 11th then that is sufficient to oppose the Jews.  And if you fast both of them (9th & 11th) alongside the 10th then there is no problem in that due to what has been transmitted in some reports, “Fast a day before it and a day after it”.  As for fasting Ashooraa by itself, then it is disliked.  And Allaah (alone) is the Guardian and Owner of all success.

Do you recognise the happiness and displeasure of your beloved wife?!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women.

The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to say to Aa’isha (radiyallaahu-anhaa): ”Indeed, I know when you are happy with me and when you are annoyed with me; when you are happy with me you say: ‘’I swear by the Lord of Muhammad’’ and when you are annoyed with me you say: ‘’I swear by the Lord of Ibraaheem.’’ Reported by Muslim

A Reminder to Husbands and Wives–Every human heart desires this…….

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Family & Women, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً ۚ إِنَّ فِي ذَٰلِكَ لَآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

”And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.” [Soorah Ar-Rum: Ayah: 21]

 

Imaam as-Saa’di (rahimahullaah):

”In most cases you will not find love in anyone similar to the love and mercy between a husband and wife.”

The position of the youth towards Islaam

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

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Question: ”What should be the position of the youth towards Islaam? And with what do you advise the youth in this critical time of their lives?” ;

Answer: ”It is obligatory upon every Muslim to hold tightly to the rope of Allah and that he adheres to His book the Most High and the Sunnah of his Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and that he calls to the path of Allah, whilst not being fanatical to his opinion when what is correct is in other than (his opinion); rather he follows the truth wherever it is, for indeed the truth has more right to be followed, whilst totally taking the prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) as an example in his actions, good manners and character and in his call (dawah), due to His statement [I.e the statement of Allaah (The Most High):

{لَقَدْ كَانَ لَكُمْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أُسْوَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ}

21 سورة الأحزاب الآية

‘Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) you have a good example to follow”

Answer: ”The successful one is he who adheres to the religion of Islam—holding onto it in creed, statement and action, being enlightened by the Noble Qur’aan and Sunnah of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and by that which the pious predecessors were upon—the companions of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) and those who followed them in righteousness.”
