بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

We advise you firstly with the taqwa of Allah and making plentiful supplication that Allah makes us and you firm upon the religion of islaam. And that he protects us and you from the evil of trials and tribulation. Then we advise you to seek knowledge from the ppl of knowledge and being ardent upon that. For indeed nothing protects from fitnah -by the permission of Allaah- except correct knowledge.

But if there is no correct knowledge then maybe you will fall into trials and you will not realise, and you will not know that they are trials. Therefore upon you (all) is to seek knowledge from ahlul ilm and not to be lackadaisical about seeking knowledge however you are able.

Shaykh al-Uthaymeen (Rahimahullah) was asked:

Which of the two is better -if an individual wants to partake in good actions- building (establishing) a school for the memorisation of Quran or building (establishing) a mosque?

He (Rahimahullah) answered:

(The affair is) in accordance to the need; if the (particular) land needed a mosque more than a school for memorisation of Quran; (then) build a mosque, and if it was the opposite, build a school. The person should contemplate and ponder and not be hasty.

Fataawa Noor ala ad-Darb Vol 12 page 670

We ask our brothers & sisters to help us establish a School here in Manchester. Alhamdulillah we already have a masjid, with lessons in Qur’an, Arabic & Islamic Studies for Adults and Children. However a school is missing, and is a great neccessity for us.

Please give whatever you can for the sake of Allah. It is easy to donate and all details can be found here at www.salafischool.co/donate. You can Also donate directly via Paypal here.

Do not delay and gather as much reward as possible this Ramadhaan. May Allah facilitate it for us, and grant us forgiveness and his mercy.

Travelling to Syria to Fight: [Shaikh Abdul Muhsin Al-Abbaad fears evil and corruption for you]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on July 7, 2014. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Khawaarij, Pearls of Wisdom, Scholars of Islam.

After the Shaikh (may Allaah preserve him) was asked about travelling to Syria to join the fighting, he said that the people of Syria are in need of du’aa, so a person should hasten to make du’aa for them. As for a person traveling to Syria, then it is feared that he will be similar to those who went to Iraq and brought about evil and corruption upon themselves.

Why the Truthful One Views Himself as Someone Deficient – By Ibnul Qayyim [rahimahullaah]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on July 2, 2014. Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Pearls of Wisdom, Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

The truthful slave does not see himself except as one who is deficient, and what necessitates this view are [the following]: He [considers what] he seeks after [i.e. sincerity, obedience to Allaah and His Messenger etc] to be great; [considers] himself insignificant and knows his defects, and [considers] himself as having sent forth little deeds for the Aakhirah.

Sincerity in religion is the basis of Justice, just as shirk (associating partners with Allaah in His Lordship, in worship and in His Names and Attributes) is great injustice.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَنَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبَ تِبۡيَـٰنً۬ا لِّكُلِّ شَىۡءٍ۬

And We have revealed to you the Book (O Muhammad), as a clarification and explanation for every single matter. [16:89]

There is no such thing which mankind is in need of in their life and livelihood except that Allaah has explained it in His Book whether it is by the text (itself), or by an indication, or by something made explicit or something which is understood from the text (but is not in the text. [1]
