Not good enough to show concern for Ahlus Sunnah and calling for cooperation while wallowing in wilful ignorance!

Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli stated that he advices the youth of Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jamaa’ah to solve their differences based on what is found in the Book and the Sunnah, utilise what is found in it to solve the great splitting that has occurred due to differing in the affairs of knowledge, the stances towards some of the Mukhaalifeen, which many of the Salafi youth are upon in the Muslim lands, and even in the non-Muslim countries where the Muslims are the smallest group, and has led to shunning and boycotting, rather this has even led to violating the rights of others and transgression between Ahlus Sunnah until the fitnah has become great, very dangerous and has affected the dawah to the Sunnah, and prevented some people from embracing the Dawah after the people accepted it in many regions and countries.

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] responded to the above statement, saying that it was incumbent upon Dr Ibraaheem to be acquainted with the reasons behind the differing between the Salafi youth and those who ascribe themselves to it, then openly embark upon the truth and convict those who split the Salafi youth- those who innovate corrupt principles to defend the people of bidah and misguidance; refute their corrupt principles, fundamentals and misguided methodologies; refute their defence of the people of bidah and misguidance, (refute) their war against Ahlus Sunnah, (attempts) to defame  the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah and their scholars.

It was incumbent upon Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli to specify those who have violated the rights of others and the transgressors – those who brought about great trial and whose affair is of severe danger due to the initiation and prolongation of this fitnah through deceptive methods and false principles, which they have set up to destroy the methodology of Ahlus Sunnah and topple the scholars. Many people have been duped by these deceptive methods, false alarms and fundamentals whose aim is to reject truth and misguide the people because they have brought about great trial and severe danger.

Among the consequences of this (Fitna) is that many from Ahlus Sunnah deviated and fled from the Manhaj of Ahlus Sunnah after accepting it, therefore, as a matter of fact, it becomes known who is the cause of the fitnah for the Salafi Dawah, which brought about trials and splitting. Therefore, clarification is a necessity because sincere advice and clarification are from the most important affairs that the Messengers were sent with. Allah [The Most High] says that His Prophet Nuh [peace be upon him] said: [أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنصَحُ لَكُمْ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ – I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord and give sincere advice to you. And I know from Allah what you know not (7:62)]

Allah [The Most High] said that His Prophet Hud [peace be upon him] said:

[أُبَلِّغُكُمْ رِسَالَاتِ رَبِّي وَأَنَا لَكُمْ نَاصِحٌ أَمِينٌ – I convey unto you the Messages of my Lord, and I am a trustworthy adviser (or well-wisher) for you (7:68)]

Allah [The Most High] says:

وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن رَّسُولٍ إِلَّا بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ ۖ فَيُضِلُّ اللَّهُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَيَهْدِي مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

And We sent not a Messenger except with the language of his people, in order that he might make (the Message) clear for them. Then Allah misleads whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.[14:4]

The scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets with regards to this advice, clarification and other than it. If this obligatory clarification is not received from him [i.e. from Dr Ibraaheem Ar-Ruhayli], it is incumbent upon me [Rabee] to fulfil it. The figureheads of this trial, its initiators and flag bearers are well known to Ahlus Sunnah, and they are Adnaan Ar’oor, Abul Hasan al Maribi, Ali al Halabi and those who follow them, their principles and methodology. These people pursue their war against Ahlus Sunnah and defence of the senior people of bidah.

[1] Reminder to the idiot who says that Shiite Figureheads are more Muslim than non-Shiite Leaders

Al-Allaamah Muqbil Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah have mercy upon him] stated: Allah [Glorified and Exalted be He] said:

وَعَجِبُوٓاْ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ۬ مِّنۡہُمۡ‌ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ هَـٰذَا سَـٰحِرٌ۬ كَذَّابٌ
أَجَعَلَ ٱلۡأَلِهَةَ إِلَـٰهً۬ا وَٲحِدًا‌ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىۡءٌ عُجَابٌ۬
وَٱنطَلَقَ ٱلۡمَلَأُ مِنۡہُمۡ أَنِ ٱمۡشُواْ وَٱصۡبِرُواْ عَلَىٰٓ ءَالِهَتِكُمۡ‌ۖ إِنَّ هَـٰذَا لَشَىۡءٌ۬ يُرَادُ
مَا سَمِعۡنَا بِہَـٰذَا فِى ٱلۡمِلَّةِ ٱلۡأَخِرَةِ إِنۡ هَـٰذَآ إِلَّا ٱخۡتِلَـٰقٌ
أَءُنزِلَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلذِّكۡرُ مِنۢ بَيۡنِنَا‌ۚ بَلۡ هُمۡ فِى شَكٍّ۬ مِّن ذِكۡرِى‌ۖ بَل لَّمَّا يَذُوقُواْ عَذَابِ

And they wonder that a warner (Prophet Muhammad) has come to them from among themselves! And the disbelievers say, “This (Prophet Muhammad) is a sorcerer, a liar.  Has he made the aaliha (gods) (all) into One Ilaah (God – Allah). Verily, this is a curious thing!” And the leaders among them went about (saying), “Go on and remain constant to your aaliha (gods)! Verily, this is a thing designed (against you)! We have not heard (the like) of this among the people of these later days. This is nothing but an invention!  Has the Reminder been sent down to him (alone) from among us?” Nay! But they are in doubt about My Reminder (this Qur’an)! Nay, but they have not tasted (My) Torment! [Surah Saad. Ayaat 4-8]

So, you say to the Raafidah [Footnote a], “Indeed, it is shirk to invoke other than Allah with regards to seeking benefit and protection from harm in a matter which none can (fulfill) besides Allah.  It is not permissible to invoke Ali Ibn Abee Taalib [may Allah be pleased with him] or other than him amongst the dead [may Allah have mercy upon them] because Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] said:

وَٱلَّذِينَ تَدۡعُونَ مِن دُونِهِۦ مَا يَمۡلِكُونَ مِن قِطۡمِيرٍ
إِن تَدۡعُوهُمۡ لَا يَسۡمَعُواْ دُعَآءَكُمۡ وَلَوۡ سَمِعُواْ مَا ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لَكُمۡۖ وَيَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ يَكۡفُرُونَ بِشِرۡڪِكُمۡۚ وَلَا يُنَبِّئُكَ مِثۡلُ خَبِيرٍ۬

And those, whom you invoke or call upon instead of Him, own not even a Qitmeer (the thin membrane over the date stone).  If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad) like Him Who is the All-Knower (of each and everything).  O mankind! it is you who stand in need of Allah, but Allah is Rich (Free of all wants and needs), Worthy of all praise. [Surah Faatir. Ayaat 13-14]

And Allah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] said:
وَمَنۡ أَضَلُّ مِمَّن يَدۡعُواْ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَن لَّا يَسۡتَجِيبُ لَهُ ۥۤ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ ٱلۡقِيَـٰمَةِ وَهُمۡ عَن دُعَآٮِٕهِمۡ غَـٰفِلُونَ
وَإِذَا حُشِرَ ٱلنَّاسُ كَانُواْ لَهُمۡ أَعۡدَآءً۬ وَكَانُواْ بِعِبَادَتِہِمۡ كَـٰفِرِينَ

And who is more astray than one who calls (invokes) besides Allah, such as will not answer him till the Day of Resurrection, and who are (even) unaware of their calls (invocations) to them?  And when mankind are gathered (on the Day of Resurrection), they (false deities) will become enemies for them and will deny their worshipping.’ [Surah Al-Ahqaaf. Ayaat 5-6]

And Allah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] said:
وَمَن يَدۡعُ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ لَا بُرۡهَـٰنَ لَهُ ۥ بِهِۦ فَإِنَّمَا حِسَابُهُ ۥ عِندَ رَبِّهِۦۤ‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ

And whoever invokes (or worships), besides Allaah, any other ilaah (god), of whom he has no proof, then his reckoning is only with his Lord. Surely! Al-Kaafiroon (the disbelievers in Allah and in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, pagans, idolaters, etc.) will not be successful.’ [Surah Al-Muminoon. Ayah 117]

And if you say, “Indeed others have joined them (i.e. the Mushrikoon) in this (affair”, so I say, “Whoever joins them in this (affair of shirk) is similar to them”.  [Footnote b]

Allah said:

وَلَا تَدۡعُ مِن دُونِ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا يَنفَعُكَ وَلَا يَضُرُّكَ‌ۖ فَإِن فَعَلۡتَ فَإِنَّكَ إِذً۬ا مِّنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
وَإِن يَمۡسَسۡكَ ٱللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ۬ فَلَا ڪَاشِفَ لَهُ ۥۤ إِلَّا هُوَ‌ۖ وَإِن يُرِدۡكَ بِخَيۡرٍ۬ فَلَا رَآدَّ لِفَضۡلِهِۦ‌ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦ‌ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ

And invoke not besides Allah, any that will neither profit you, nor hurt you, but if (in case) you did so, you shall certainly be one of the Zaalimoon (polytheists and wrongdoers).  And if Allaah touches you with hurt, there is none who can remove it but He; and if He intends any good for you, there is none who can repel His Favour which He causes it to reach whomsoever of His slaves He will. And He is the Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’ [Surah Yunus. Ayah 106-107]

When you convey these verses and what is similar to them to the (Rawaafid), and then say to them, “Indeed, is it permissible to call upon the dead and seek deliverance and rescue from them?”  They (reply), “You are a Wahhaabi. You hate the family of the Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him]”. This is the same (affair) regarding the extreme Soofees when you say, “Indeed, the Awliyaa can neither benefit nor harm”, they say, “You hate the Awliyaa”. Indeed, mighty is the statement that comes out of the mouths of these two sects; they utter nothing but a lie! [1]

——————————————

Footnote a: Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him] was asked: Is it correct that the first to innovate the Madhab of the Raafidah was Abdullah Ibn Saba the Yahoodee? Response: Yes, without a doubt. The Raafidah or the Shiites in general are of two types: The Shiites from the fire worshippers and the Shiites from the Yahood. They hide behind Islam in order to corrupt it. The Yahood plotted through Abdullah Ibn Sabah and the first affair he began with was to ignite fitnah against Uthmaan [may Allah be pleased with him]. Listen to here: https://safeshare.tv/x/krhxTksllR

Al-Allaamah Rabee Bin Haadi Al-Mad’khali [may Allah preserve him] was asked: O Our Shaikh! The questioner says, “What is the ruling on the common people of the Rawaafid (shiites) and how do we deal with them?”

Answer: The questioner differentiates between the common people and those other than them. This is a good approach. The common people who neither speak ill of the wives of Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] nor do they make Takfeer of the Sahaabah [may Allah be pleased with them], nor do they believe that the Qur’an is distorted, but they have some Rafd [i.e. beliefs of the Raafidah] and some hatred for the Sahaabah without making Takfeer of them and what is similar; then these ones are misguided Mubtadi’ah and we do not declare them disbelievers. (But) whoever joins their heretics in pronouncing Takfeer against the companions of Muhammad [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him], speaking ill of the wives of the Messenger’s wives, and the filthy belief that the Qur’an has been distorted and that there is an addition and deficiency in it, then this (person) is a Kaafir similar to the disbelievers of the Yahood and Nasaaraa. There is no differentiation between their common people and their scholars (in this affair).

Question: How do we deal with them? Answer: If dealing with them is with regards to a worldly affair—business transactions and what is similar, it is permissible to trade with a Yahoodi, a Nasraani, and a Raafidee. However, as for co-operating with them in the affairs of religion, then never. [وَلَا تَعَاوَنُواْ عَلَى ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡعُدۡوَٲنِ‌ۚ -Do not help one another in sin and transgression]. Their scholars and callers are to be boycotted and warned against. [2]

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 3]

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: But is the issue of (jihad and intention) not required – at present – that all Muslims perform Jihad even in Palestine- inside Palestine?

The Shaikh: This question is also completely on my side. Who is performing jihad? O, my brother! You do not know your situation here. Do you not know that the Yahood at present made it forbidden by (their) law for Muslims to fight (on behalf of the Palestinians)?

Questioner: Yes, well known.

The Shaikh: Then why do you ignore the real state of affairs?

Questioner: I do not want to ignore (the real state of affairs).

The Shaikh: You say that it is not obligatory, but there is Jihad and intention. Now we must take a position: is Jihad to be performed based on the excitement of a person, (one with) neither with a state nor is he a ruler, nor is he a soldier, but rather an excited young man? Is this Jihad in the path of Allah? Allah [The Exalted] said:

و أعدّوا لهم ما استطعتم من قوة و من رباط الخيل ترهبون به عدو الله و عدوّكم

And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy. [Surah Al-Anfaal. Ayah 60]

This address, first of all, is to whom? We presented this research in several audio tapes. Is the statement “Make ready” an address to the believers? Where are the believers? Those who consume usury, turn their backs on one another, argue with each other, and engage in illegal partisanship – each party rejoicing with what they have?! We must look at the issue fundamentally, where do we start? Do we start with Jihaad? Who is performing the Jihaad?

Questioner: “Those who believed and migrated and strove (hard and fought in Allah’s Cause).

The Shaikh: Where are they?
Questioner: The first thing is Imaan, then migration.

The Shaikh: This is it, so we begin with Imaan. We begin with Imaan, may Allah bless you. Do not reflect on the conclusion, (which is) to strive (in Allah’s Cause). Jihaad begins when the souls are prepared for jihad for the sake of Allah. The Messenger [peace be upon him] said, “The Mujaahid is he who strives against his (vain) desires for the sake of Allah”. Are Muslims today striving against their (vain) desires – for the sake of Allah – whilst sinful behaviour is rife, immorality, women unveiling, dealing in usury, etc.? Therefore, we have two terms that must be fulfilled: Tasfiyah [purification of the beliefs, methodology, texts, etc] and Tarbiyah [nurture and educate ourselves upon this pure path]. Today’s Muslims do not understand Islam correctly, starting with knowing who Allah is. They do not know Allah in the manner He made Himself known in His Book (the Qur’an) and the hadith of His Prophet. They do not know their Prophet, that is, his rulings, his Sunnah, and so on. Therefore, we are very far from Jihaad, the (true) Jihad (to be performed) against the (hostile) unbelievers. And before I miss this (comment), do you think that the Yahood will be expelled by the people of Palestine, and we see – regarding the people of Palestine – every day that a group is slaughtered like lambs while the government forces are watching? It is not these (one who will defeat the oppressive Yahood), but when Muslims return to their religion and nurture themselves correctly- nurtured upon Imaan, and ready militarily because Allah says: “And make ready”. Who is this addressed to?

Questioner: The believers.

The Shaikh: It is addressed to the believers to “Make ready against them (i.e. the enemies) all you can of power”. Are we able – today- to make ready (against them weaponry) even if we are believers? (i.e. due to the fact that the Ummah needs to return to complete obedience to Allah and His Messenger first and foremost). [Footnote a]

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: So, let us try to establish what we are able to do, and that is to be believers; believe in what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah, and act according to what is stated in the Qur’an and the Sunnah based on our ability. I say on many occasions like this that many young people who are now excited have channeled their efforts toward Jihaad against their Muslim rulers. Those who are called Jamaa’ah At-Takfeer, for example, want to fight the Muslim rulers. My beloved brother, fight against yourself before everything else. You forget yourself and fight others?!

Questioner: Hizbut-Tahrir. [Footnote b]

The Shaikh: Hizb ut-Tahrir, Jamaa’ah At-takfeer Wal-Hijrah in Egypt, and so on. What I intend to say is that these people forget themselves and become preoccupied with their rulers, while the opposite (of what they abandon) is the correct thing. What did Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] first start with? He began by calling people to testify that “There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah”. Those who – at present – want to strive against the rulers have not started from where the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] started. Due to this, there is no benefit in researching, arguing, partisanship, and gathering if it is not what Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] followed. And with regards to us, it has been a period of 15 centuries between us and the Messenger, so we must (adopt) Tasfiyah and Tarbiyah. At present if you ask a question we consider to be one that we have received from our Prophet [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] when he asked the slave girl: Where is Allah? Ask the Muslims today (i.e. many of the deviated sects), and they will tell you that Allah is everywhere, etc. [Footnote c]

Questioner: God forbid.

The Shaikh: You and I say, “God forbid”, and praise be to Allah that Allah has guided us, but those with whom you will perform Jihaad and fight alongside with will fight you because you say this statement, if only you knew! Therefore, may Allah bless you, migration is obligatory for everyone who is able, and this is a must for him. This is a Shariah ruling, (but) as for one who is not able, Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear.

Questioner: We make it brief, InShaaAllah. The man will tell you that the meaning of this (statement of yours) is that “We abandon the land of Palestine to the Yahood to wreak havoc and have fun in it as they please”.

The Shaikh: Is it better than we abandon ourselves to the Yahood like sheep (to be slaughtered)? O, my brother! May Allah bless you. One of the Islamic principles is that if a Muslim is faced with two evils, he chooses the lesser of them.

Questioner: May Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: This is the first affair, and secondly, it cannot be imagined that the statement of truth will be embraced by every Muslim, and If that were the case, you would not have found this delay (in education and cultivation, true Jihaad, etc)

و سبحانك اللهم و بحمدك أشهد ألا إله إلا أنت أستغفرك و أتوب إليك

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about advice to the Muslims of Palestine.

Evidence For Allaah’s Uluww (aboveness) – Abu Iyaad


https://www.abovethethrone.com/arsh/

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 2]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: May Allah bless you. The issue of Palestine is a special issue and has some peculiarities. It is possible to use as evidence the hadith found in the book Al-Taaj Al-Jaami Lil-Usul, which is narrated by Abdullah Bin Amr [may Allah be pleased with him and his father] on the authority of the Prophet [peace and blessings be upon him], who said, “There will be migration after migration and the people who are best will be those who cleave most closely to places which Ibraaheem migrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth cast out by their lands, abhorred by Allah, gathered along with apes and swine by fire”. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud with a valid chain of transmission. I do not know how authentic this hadith is? [a]

The Shaikh: Okay.

Questioner: This is a point. The point now is that whenever we think of or observe the people of Palestine, (it is) the conflict with the Yahood, and you know best, may Allah bless you, about the Yahood, their impurity (i.e. evil deeds), and their hatred against Islam and Muslims.

The Shaikh: O my brother! This is the type of speech that we do not want because this is all well-known. We will see what the problem is.

Questioner: The problem is when you told the man that it is obligatory to exit and go to an Islamic country, never mind leaving a place of migration to an Islamic country!

The Shaikh: Do not say “Khurooj (exit)”.

Questioner: Al-Hijrah (Migration).

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: Migration from the land of Palestine, from the land of war?

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: How do we reconcile this statement (of yours) with the hadith of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] “You will fight the Yahood, while you are in the outskirts of Bayt al-Maqdis”, the hadith that you know?

The Shaikh: Oh yes.

Questioner: So, let us know, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Others besides you utter this Shubhah (i.e. ambiguity, or an affair that contains some truth but mixed with untruth or doubt). Is (Baytul Maqdis) better than Al-Masjid Al-Haraam (the Sacred Mosque at Makkah)?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, is Baytul Maqdis better than Makkah?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Good, which of the two migrations is more dangerous- the migration of the Messenger from Makkah (to Madinah) or this migration that we are proposing?

Questioner: The migration of the Messenger (was more dangerous).

The Shaikh: Therefore, this (migration we are proposing) is all the more (required), so why do you over-emphasise and begin your speech based on that hadith about the migration of Ibraaheem [peace be upon him]? First, the Ibraaheem’s migration was not to Baytul Maqdis, but rather the entire Shaam, isn’t it?

Questioner: Yes

The Shaikh: Good, so if the Messenger[peace be upon him] established for the Muslims- by way of his Sunnah – to migrate from a land where they are persecuted, due to his migration from the (land of) the Sacred Masjid; and firstly, as I mentioned, that they migrated to Abyssinia, which was a land of disbelief; Subhaanallaah! When it is the case that the Messenger established this Sunnah for his persecuted companions to migrate from Makkah to the land of disbelief – to Abyssinia, to that (ruler) the Negus; then why do you find it strange that you – a Muslim who believes in Allah and His Messenger, and is keen to follow the Messenger [peace be upon him]- to advice his Muslim brothers based on what is within his ability to do so? Enough of throwing the souls to destruction, and shedding the blood of Muslims in vain. (It is said) in the colloquial proverbs in some Arab countries, “An eye cannot resist a prick”.

Islamic countries that have power, weapons, planes, and tanks are watching (i.e. due to inability), and the Palestinians are the ones facing the tanks and the planes and so on. You think that they will expel the Yahood (i.e. from their occupied land), and (expelled) based on the statement (claim) of that impostor who was swallowed up and was announcing that he would throw the Yahood into the sea; you think that our Palestinian brothers, those who are persecuted by the Yahood, the worst of persecution, will be able to throw the Yahood in the sea? [b]

Questioner: Of course not.

The Shaikh: So, may God bless you. These people are more obligated to migrate than others because they are killed by the dozens every day, compared to one Yahoodi they kill every month. [c] This migration that you found strange, the exact opposite is correct. When it is the case that the Messenger first permitted the weak and persecuted people in Makkah to migrate to Abyssinia, the land of the Christians at that time, we say today, “Do not migrate to the land of the Christians, but rather migrate to the land of Islam (Muslim countries)”. This is the first affair. Secondly, when Allah gave him permission to migrate from Makkah to Madina, Allah’s Messenger [may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] stood on which mountain? Qubays?

Questioner: Mountain Abu Qubays.

The Shaikh: Yes, Abu Qubays. Then he turned to Makkah and said, “As for you, you are the most beloved land among Allah’s lands to me, and if it were not that your people expelled me from you, I would not have left.” So, this is Allah’s Messenger, whose heart is attached to Masjid Al-Haraam, which he made a place of (security and safety) for the people.

Questioner: “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. [d]

The Shaikh: Oh yes, “A place of resort for mankind and a place of safety”. So, he was forced to migrate – first by himself – to be saved, and then his brothers who joined him. If he migrated from Allah’s best land, then why does one not migrate from Allah’s third best land, which is Baytul Maqdis? Muslims are persecuted, especially since they are tortured every day. Then you find what is called Arafat’s affiliate; what is the name of the organization?

Questioner: PLO

The Shaikh: The PLO is in the hundreds and thousands, and they may have money, weapons, etc., and they are watching?

Questioner: The PLO is well-known to be (like) the rubbish carried down by a torrent. [e]

The Shaikh: Good, this is what it is.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

The next discussion between the Shaikh and the questioner is specifically about Jihaad.

[a] Sunan Abu Dawud 2482

[b] This only applies to combatants who wage war against the Palestinians with weapons if the Palestinians and the Ummah had the ability to fight the occupiers and their allies. However, one must clearly bear in mind that during a declared war between two nations, non-combatants are not killed or oppressed, including women, children, monks, etc Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/salafi-shaikh-fawzaan-on-jihaad-in-our-times-and-the-guidelines-of-jihaad-according-to-islam/

[c] Imaam Al-Albaani [may Allah have mercy upon him] was asked about this behavior of some people in Palestine, whose recklessness – in the name of so-called Jihaad – brings greater harm to the Muslims, so replied: “If your circumstances carry on in this manner, imagine, what will be the outcome? What will the Muslims be seeing and witnessing?! What will the Palestinians be massacred for? What will be the outcome (when) a Yahoodi is killed and in return tenfold of Palestinians are killed, thousands put in prison? Would this be a victory against the Yahood? This is not the (right) path, (which) actually the Muslims have – at present – wrongly identified as the (correct) way of Jihad”. [Silsilah Al-Hudaa Wan-Noor 317]

[d] Surah Al-Baqarah. Ayah 125

[e] Thawban [may Allah be pleased with him] reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The people will soon summon one another to attack you as people when eating invite others to share their dish”. Someone asked, “Will that be because of our small numbers at that time?” He replied, “No, you will be numerous at that time, but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take the fear of you from the hearts of your enemy and place weakness into your hearts”. Someone asked, “O Allah’s Messenger! What is wahn (weakness)?” He replied, “Love of the world and dislike of death”. [Saheeh Sunan Abee Dawud 4297]

Finally, bear in mind that Muslim rulers are allowed to sign peace treaties if they see the need to do so. Read: https://abukhadeejah.com/treaties-with-the-non-muslims-do-they-necessitate-allegiance/

The questioner asked Imaam Al-Albaani about migration and the issue of Palestine – [Part 1]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Messenger [peace and blessings of Allah be upon him] said: “Indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the prophets, for the prophets do not leave behind a dinar or a dirham for inheritance, but rather, they leave behind knowledge. So whoever takes hold of it, has acquired a large share (i.e. of inheritance)”. [Sunan At-Tirmidhee 2682]

The Conversation Begins

Questioner: Our Shaikh, five minutes ago, I presented an important question and there is something precarious in it.

The Shaikh: Tayyib, InShaa’Allah

Questioner: Good, InShaa’Allah. You spoke at the beginning of the session about the issue of Hijrah [migration], and this issue is really very dangerous.

The Shaikh: Good, InShaa’Allah.

Questioner: I listened to – audio cassette number 527 – a conversation that took place between a student of knowledge and you about the issue of the people of Palestine.

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: He asked about the ruling on migration from Palestine. He asked a question about the issue of the migration of the people of Palestine from Palestine to another place. I listened to the tape for three days until this moment, and I am repeating the tape until I understand what our Shaikh, Ustaadh Naasir, is saying.

The Shaikh: May Allah bless you.

Questioner: May Allah bless you, so that we do no wrong to the Shaikh.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you with good.

Questioner: With regards to what may have been referred to or referred to by some claimants to knowledge…

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: And Abu Ahmad knows

The Shaikh: Yes.

Questioner: What I want to say is that the place of migration is obligatory for all Muslims to cooperate in establishing and setting it up so that we migrate from the land of disbelief and from the land of war to the land of migration, and we agree with the Shaikh on this issue.

The Shaikh: All right, but now you say that a place of migration does not exist?

Questioner: I say now that a place for migration does not exist.

The Shaikh: Strange (i.e. this statement is strange).

Questioner: You spoke to that man and told him that which grieved him that ten years ago Saudi Arabia did not hang pictures, but now you find pictures there, and so on. It is as if I understood from your conversation that Saudi Arabia is a place of migration and is fit to be a place of migration.

The Shaikh: How do you understand that the land you are in is a place of migration?

Questioner: I do not understand this. I want to get to what the nature of the place of migration is, and we know from the biography of the Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] that before he migrated to Madina, or before it was revealed to him to migrate to Madina, he looked for a place of migration – at first – by sending some of the Companions to Abyssinia.

The Shaikh: Yes

Questioner: And the Companions returned from Abyssinia, and obviously, he asked them about the circumstances of Abyssinia. The Messenger [peace and blessings be upon him] did not consider the land of Abyssinia to be suitable for migration. Then he sent a delegation to Hadramaut and asked the delegations that were coming to him [peace and blessings be upon him] about Hadhramaut in Yemen, and he found that Yemen also is not suitable for migration.

The Shaikh: Sorry, this (the above statement of yours) is not a question. May Allah bless you. I said five minutes. You will take the five minutes at your expense!

Questioner: …at the beginning of your session.

The Shaikh: All righty, may Allah bless you. I draw your attention to the fact that when we spoke about migration, where did we say that Libyans and others like them should migrate to? A land where one should not migrate to? Is that how you understand?

Question: (Migration) to the land of the Muslims.

The Shaikh: Good, so how do you say that there is no place for migration?

Questioner: I want to get to the (point regarding) what the characteristics of the place of migration is.

The Shaikh: Brother, ask instead of giving a lecture.

Questioner: I am not lecturing.

The Shaikh: No, allow me, my brother, may Allah bless you. When someone asks a question, he is brief and does not go into detail. Abyssinia and what is Abyssinia; this is how a question should be. You first say that there is no place for migration, and who told you that there should be a place for immigration similar to that of the Messenger [peace be upon him]? Is there a Prophet after Allah’s Messenger [i.e. Muhammad]?

Questioner: No.

The Shaikh: Then why do you speak about the existence of a place for immigration when you believe just as I do, as I said earlier, that there is a land of Islam, for this is enough for us to establish the proof against the unbelievers who convert to Islam in their countries of disbelief that they should migrate to an Islamic country. We also establish the proof that Muslims who were persecuted in Islamic countries in the past should migrate to Islamic countries where there is no persecution. So why did you change the subject matter to say that there is no place for migration, and who among the Muslim scholars, a successor, let alone a predecessor, has said that there must be a place for migration (i.e. similar to that of the Messenger)? This is a mistake in the presentation of the question. I want to understand what is the outcome of your reading for three days, as I said in those audio tapes I did not mention that there should be a place for migration and that a Muslim cannot say that there should be a place for migration because this emigration (of the Messenger from Makkah to Madina) will not be repeated. Due to this, it is reported in the hadith “There is no migration after the conquest”, meaning that there is no other city of the Prophet until the Hour (i.e. Day of Judgement) takes place. However, the reality is as the poet said, even on a different occasion, “So, imitate them even if you are not like them. Indeed, imitating in nobility is success”. We want to find an Islamic country that is as close as possible to establishing Islam. We do not direct our hopes towards finding a caliph similar to the era of the caliphs, and not even resembling the fifth Caliph, and that is Umar Bin Abdul Aziz [may Allah be pleased with all of them], but we want a ruler who rules by what Allah has revealed- making his goal to rule by what Allah has revealed. Regardless that he makes a mistake, or deviates a little or a lot (unless one witnesses clear disbelief), [Footnote a] there are many Islamic countries, and praise be to Allah. The affair -and praise be to Allah – has not ceased and it will remain like this. We do not see blatant disbelief, rather, this was found in some of those countries, so we commanded the persecuted Muslim youth to flee and migrate to a country in which there has not ceased to be much good from the country whose leader announced disbelief. I said this earlier, so may Allah bless you. Present to us what the problem is for you regarding the audio tape without the term Darul Hijrah (a place of migration).

Questioner: I retract it.

The Shaikh: May Allah reward you.

Questioner: Because I am not one seeking to be argumentative, (rather), I want to learn.

The Shaikh: That is what I think of you.

Questioner: InshaaAllah, may Allah bless you.

The Shaikh: Please go ahead.

To be continued…InShaaAllah

السائل : شيخنا قبل الخمس دقائق ، أنا جاي على سؤال مهم و فيه شيء من الخطورة ؟
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : خير إن شاء الله ، لقد تكلمت في بداية الجلسة عن قضية الهجرة و هذا الموضوع حقيقة خطير جدا .
الشيخ : خير إن شاء الله .
السائل : إن شاء الله تعالى ، لقد استمعت للشريط رقم خمسائة وسبعة وعشرين في حديث دار بين طالب علم و بينك عن قضية أهل فلسطين .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و سأل عن حكم الهجرة من فلسطين … و لقد طرح سؤالا عن قضية هجرة أهل فلسطين من فلسطين إلى دار الهجرة و سمعت الشريط لمدة ثلاثة أيام حتى هذه اللحظة و أنا أكرر الشريط حتى أفهم ما يقول شيخنا الأستاذ ناصر .
الشيخ : بارك الله فيك .
السائل : بارك الله فيه ، حتى لا نظلم الشيخ .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : فيما قد ينسب إليه أو فيما قد نسب إليه من بعض أدعياء العلم !
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و أبو أحمد يعلم .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : الذي أريد أن أقوله أن دار الهجرة يجب على كل المسلمين أن يتعاونوا على إقامتها و على إنشائها حتى نهاجر من دار الكفر و من دار الحرب إلى دار الهجرة و نحن نتفق مع الشيخ في هذه المسألة … .
الشيخ : معليش لكن أنت الآن تقول دار الهجرة غير موجودة ؟
السائل : أقول الآن دار الهجرة غير موجودة .
الشيخ : عجيب .
السائل : و قد تكلمت إلى ذلك الرجل و قلت له مما يؤسف له أن السعودية كانت قبل عشر سنوات لا تعلق صورا و الآن تجد فيها الصور و كذا كأني قد فهمت من حديثك أن السعودية هي دار هجرة و تصلح بأن تكون دار هجرة !
الشيخ : و ما فهمت أن الدّار التي أنت فيها دار هجرة ؟
السائل : لم أفهم هذا ، أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفة دار الهجرة و نحن نعلم ن سيرة الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أنه قبل أن يهاجر إلى المدينة أو قبل أن يوحى إليه بالهجرة إلى المدينة بحث عن دار الهجرة بداية بعث بعض الصحابة إلى الحبشة .
الشيخ : نعم .
السائل : و رجع الصحابة من الحبشة و طبعا سألهم عن أوضاع الحبشة و لم يستصلح الرسول عليه الصلاة و السلام أرض الحبشة بأن تكون دارا للهجرة ، ثم بعث بعثا إلى حضرموت و سأل الوفود التي كانت تقدم عليه عليه الصلاة و السلام عن حضرموت في اليمن فوجد أن اليمن لا تصلح دار هجرة أيضا
الشيخ : عفوا هذا ليس سؤالا بارك الله فيك أنا قلت خمس دقائق ، أنت راح تأخذ الخمس دقائق على حسابك !
السائل : … في بداية جلستك .
الشيخ : معليش بارك الله فيك أنا ألفت نظرك أنه لما تكلمنا عن الهجرة إلى أين قلنا يهاجروا الليبيين و أمثالهم ؟ إلى دار لا هجرة ؟ هكذا فهمت ؟
السائل : إلى ديار المسلمين .
الشيخ : طيب ، فإذن كيف تقول إنه ليس هناك دار هجرة .
السائل : أنا أريد أن أصل إلى ما هي صفات دار الهجرة ؟
الشيخ : يا أخي اسأل بدل ما تعمل محاضرة اسأل … .
السائل : أنا ما أعمل محاضرة … .
الشيخ : لا ، اسمح لي يا أخي بارك الله فيك ، واحد لما يسأل سؤالا يختصر مو يتعرض للتفاصيل ، الحبشة و ما الحبشة مو هكذا يكون السؤال أنت بالأول تقول ليس هناك دار هجرة ، طيب من قال لك أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة مثل دار الرسول عليه السلام ؟ هل هناك نبي بعد رسول الله ؟
السائل : لا .
الشيخ : فإذن لماذا تدير الكلام على وجود دار الهجرة و أنت تؤمن معي كما قلت آنفا أن هناك دار إسلام فهذا يكفي لنقيم الحجة على الكفار الذين يسلمون في بلاد كفرهم أن يهاجروا إلى بلد إسلامي كذلك نقيم الحجة على المضطهدين من المسلمين في البلاد الإسلامية قديما أن يهاجروا إلى بلاد الإسلام التي لا اضطهاد فيها فلماذا أدرت الموضع إلى أنه لا يوجد هناك دار هجرة و من الذي يقول من علماء المسلمين خلفا فضلا عن سلف أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة ؟ لا هذا خطأ في طرح السؤال فأنا أريد أن أفهم ما هي حصيلة قرائتك في ثلاثة أيام كما قلت لتلك الأشرطة أنا ما ذكرت أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة و لا يمكن لمسلم أن يقول أنه يجب أن يكون هناك دار هجرة لأن هذه الهجرة لن تتكرر و لذلك جاء في الحديث ( لا هجرة بعد الفتح ) أي ما فيه مدينة نبوية أخرى إلى أن تقوم الساعة لكن الحقيقة كما قال الشاعر و لو في غير هذه المناسبة ” فتشبهوا إن لم تكونوا مثلهم *** إن التشبه بالكرم فلاح ” فنحن نريد أن نوجد بلدا إسلاميا أقرب ما يكون إلى تحقيق الإسلام نحن لا نطمع أن نجد خليفة يشبه عهد الخلفاء الراشدين بل يشبه الخليفة الخامس و هو عمر بن عبد العزيز رضي الله عنهم أجمعين لكن نريد حاكما يحكم بما أنزل الله يجعل هدفه الحكم بما أنزل الله أما أنه أخطأ ، أما أنه انحرف قليلا أو كثيرا ( ما لم تروا كفرا بواحا ) فهناك بلاد إسلامية كثيرة و الحمد لله لا نزال و الحمد لله سيبقى الأمر كذلك لا نرى كفرا بواحا و إنما وجد هذا في بعض تلك البلاد فنأمر الشباب المسلم المضطهد أن يفر بدينه و أن يهاجر بدينه من البلد الذي أعلن الكفر رأسه إلى بلد لا يزال و الحمد لله فيه خير كثير و أنا قلت هذا الكلام آنفا فإذن بارك الله فيك أعطنا ما هي المشكلة التي عرضت لك بالنسبة للشريط ؟ بلاش كلمة دار هجرة … .
السائل : أسحبها .
الشيخ : جزاك الله خيرا .
السائل : لأنني أنا لست جدليا ، أنا أريد أن أتعلم .
الشيخ : ذلك هو الظّن بك .
السائل : إن شاء الله ، بارك الله فيك .
الشيخ : تفضل

The only path to strength and victory- By Imams (Ibn Al-Jawzi and Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz)

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Imam Ibn Al-Jawzi [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Whoever loves that the state of affairs should become rectified, then let them strive in rectifying the deeds. Allah [The Mighty and Majestic] said:

وَأَن لَّوِ اسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى الطَّرِيقَةِ لَأَسْقَيْنَاهُم مَّاءً غَدَقًا

If they had believed in Allah and went on the Right Way, We should surely have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance]. [(1)]

Imam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: The path to victory is through learning the Shariah and acquiring an understanding of the religion by the rulers, those under the ruler’s authority, the elders and the young; acting upon what this learning and understanding necessitates, and abandon that which Allah has forbidden. Allah [The Exalted] said: [ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوۡمٍ حَتَّىٰ يُغَيِّرُواْ مَا بِأَنفُسِہِمۡ‌ۗ – Verily! Allaah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah)]. [13:11]

Therefore, whoever wishes for victory and assistance from Allah, and to make Allah’s statement [i.e. none has the right to be worshipped except Allah] uppermost, they should change what one is upon with regards to disobedience and sins. Allah says:

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ڪَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَہُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّہُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنً۬ا‌ۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِى لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِى شَيۡـًٔ۬ا‌ۚ

Allah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islaam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. [24:55]

Allah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] did not say that He has made a promise to those who attribute themselves to the Quraish, the Arabs or those who build castles and excavate petrol, rather Allah associated this affair with true Imaan and righteous deeds, regardless whether they are Arabs or non-Arabs. [(2)]

Imam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen [may Allah have mercy upon him] said: Indeed, defeat against the Muslims occurred due to one act of disobedience (i.e. at the battle of Uhud). At present we want victory whilst disobedience is rife amongst us, so due to this it is not possible for us to rejoice with victory as long as we are in this state of affairs, unless Allah shows us kindness and rectifies us. [(3)]

Al-Allaamah Saalih Al-Fawzaan [may Allah preserve him]: [One] should not lose hope when trials and evil increase. Indeed, he has to remain in tranquillity and should make others tranquil when trials occur, and he should say: “All Praise is due to Allah, we are upon guidance and a clear Religion. Solace is close by and evil will cease to exist by the permission of Allaah”. This is what is incumbent upon THE PEOPLE OF GOOD AND THE SCHOLARS–that they have tranquillity and make the people tranquil; because this (EVIL) is something that will cease to exist by the permission of Allaah and solace will come after it.

It is not permissible for a person to say: ‘’the people are destroyed.’’ This is not permissible; rather (a person) should make the people tranquil, firm upon goodness, whilst expecting assistance, for indeed the good end is for the people of piety. Therefore, no matter how great the evil and trial is, it will cease to exist. He (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: ‘’A group of my followers will remain manifest upon the truth. They will neither be harmed by those who forsake them nor by those who oppose them till Allaah’s command arrives.” [i.e. the day of judgement] [Bukhari and Muslim]

Therefore, Islaam will not cease to continue and all praise be to Allaah. The Religion and the Qur’aan will not cease to exist until that appointed time which the prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) has informed us of – that at the end of time, the Qur’an will be taken away from the hearts of men and from the Masaahif (i.e. the copies of the Qur’an); but this will be at the time of the destruction of the world. (However) good will continue to exist whilst the Qur’an, the Sunnah and the Qiblah are present, even though there is one who is led away from it and becomes misguided; and even though there is one who deviates from it and becomes deviated, as the saying goes: ‘’Fitnah has its victims’’. It takes away the one who goes with it, but the people of Imaan will remain even if they are small in number. Even if there is one who goes along with the Fitnah, and the one who goes astray and the one who comes along with it, (still) the truth and its people will remain and all praise be to Allaah. The truth is present, as Allaah (The Exalted and Most High) said: [إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا الذِّكْرَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ – Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur’an) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption) 15:9]

A person should not lose hope nor should he despair. He should not make the people lose hope of a return to goodness. He should not make the people lose hope regarding (the fact) that truth will prevail and falsehood will be repelled because Allaah (Glorified and Exalted Be He) has made that promise and He does not fail to fulfil His promise. Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: ‘’The Religion is aided when put to the test; therefore do not be amazed for this is the way of Ar-Rahmaan (The Most Merciful). [(4)]

Benefits of Tawheed are Seen in this Life and the Hereafter – Imam As-Sadi (rahimahullah)

So, Alhamdulilah, one has all of these lessons to attend. However, this does not change the reality that when a problem emerges that requires clarification, we avoid it and claim that all of us should only focus on teaching and learning. Here's an essential issue that has been bothering some people recently, so we addressed it regardless of who is yelling and raving in the East or West because all of it is to divert attention away from something they don't want to rectify. https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2023/10/07/one-of-al-allaamah-rabee-bin-haadis-excellent-qualities-can-be-seen-in-the-manners-of-our-elder-teachers-in-the-west/

The Salafiyyoon in the UK have never been asleep nor in need of being reminded that they busy themselves with Duroos because our elder teachers have had a close connection with the senior Scholars and their books for many years, and this affair continues to this day. We love the Scholars and their students, but we are vigilant about people with ulterior motives, especially when they seek to divert attention from something they are required to rectify.

Fitnah is Inevitable – Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullah)

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Articles, Basics, Da'wah - Calling To Islam.

Al-Allaamah Al-Muhaddith Muqbil ibn Hadi Al-Waadi’ee (rahimahullah) stated regarding fitnah,

It’s inevitable that there will be trials, tribulations and tests, Allah (The Mighty and Majestic) says,

‎ونبـلوكم بالـشر والخيـر فتـنة
We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good (21:35)

That which is important is to remain patient and firm (during fitnah).

Some specific topics fulfilled as Fardu Kifaayah by some of the elder UK Salafi students of Knowledge

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Brotherhood, Contemporary Issues, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

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

Allah’s Messenger [peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him] said, “He does not thank Allāh, he who does not thank the People”.

One of the Islamic mannerisms that is befitting for a Muslim to adhere to is to show gratitude to the one who was good to you; any type of good, whether it was by (sharing) knowledge or commanding good and forbidding evil, or by doing good in fulfilling a person’s needs.

[جزاك الله خيرا – May Allāh reward you with good]

If you said that to him, indeed you have done your utmost in praising and thanking him. As for the one who does good to you and you didn’t thank him, or mention him with good, then this is a blessing to which a person has shown ingratitude. Oh, Muslim! It is not from Islamic manners to reject some good that someone – whether close to you or not – has done to you. This is the meaning of the hadīth, "Whoever does not thank the people has not thanked Allāh". Allāh is the bestower of blessings, The Most Great, The one who confers good (to His servants), the Generous. The people likewise are good-doers within the limits of their ability. So, whoever receives good from the people, it is from Islamic etiquettes to thank them for being good to him – whatever type of goodness it may be. Allah's Messenger said, "Allāh has prescribed Ihsan in everything". And one of the mistakes committed is that someone close to you or not close to you does good to you and you do not thank him for his goodness nor mention him with good in order that supplication can be made for him. https://salafidawahmanchester.com/2017/07/11/whoever-not-thank-people-not-thanked-allah-explained-shaykh-zayd-ibn-hadi-al-madkhali/
