Every Prophet Has His Enemies Amongst The Jinn and Mankind

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Qur'aan.

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

Allaah [The Most High] said:

وَكَذَٲلِكَ جَعَلۡنَا لِكُلِّ نَبِىٍّ عَدُوًّ۬ا شَيَـٰطِينَ ٱلۡإِنسِ وَٱلۡجِنِّ يُوحِى بَعۡضُهُمۡ إِلَىٰ بَعۡضٍ۬ زُخۡرُفَ ٱلۡقَوۡلِ غُرُورً۬ا‌ۚ وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ مَا فَعَلُوهُ‌ۖ فَذَرۡهُمۡ وَمَا يَفۡتَرُونَ

And so We have appointed for every Prophet enemies – Shayaateen (devils) among mankind and jinns, inspiring one another with adorned speech as a delusion (or by way of deception). If your Lord had so willed, they would not have done it, so leave them alone with their fabrications.” [Soorah Al-An’aam: Ayah 112]

Allaah [Glorified Be He] stated that they aid one another in opposing the command of the Prophets with what some of them inspire others of adorned speech, so that the gullible and feeble minded people are misled by it.  He [The Most High] stated the reason behind a perpetrator’s [adorned speech] and the reason why it is accepted by the people; then He [The Most High] mentioned [in ayah 113 Al-An’aam] the effects it has on those ignorant souls. When those souls incline towards such adorned speech and become pleased with it, they carry out what it calls them to do -in speech and action.  Therefore, ponder upon these verses and the sublime meanings they convey, for they clarify the roots of false principles and alert a person against them. And if you ponder upon the statements of the people of falsehood, you will indeed find them clothed with expressions and presented in a good light with sophisticated terms, which are quickly accepted by those deprived of sound discernment-to the extent that the wicked sinners would give [good] names to the greatest types of wicked deeds.

Khawaarij- [Terrorists]- Misguided and Misguiding Others Due to Distancing Themselves From Ulamaa…by Shaikh Fawzaan

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Articles, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Khawaarij, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Saaleh al-Fawzaan [may Allaah preserve him] said:

The khawaarij were not misguided and misguiding others with their intellects and fear of Allaah, except that they disassociated themselves from the scholars and depended on their own understanding and that of those similar to them. They took instructions from one another, and thus they caused harm to themselves and to the Ummah. This is the result of disassociating from the scholars.

What a Mocker Has to Remember About His [or Her] Reality When He [Or She] Mocks at Others

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Pearls of Wisdom, Qur'aan.

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

Allaah [The Most High] said:

وَإِذْ قَالَ مُوسَىٰ لِقَوْمِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَن تَذْبَحُوا بَقَرَةً ۖ قَالُوا أَتَتَّخِذُنَا هُزُوًا ۖ قَالَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ

And (remember) when Musa (Moses) said to his people: “Verily, Allah commands you that you slaughter a cow.” They said, “Do you make fun of us?” He said, “I take Allah’s Refuge from being among Al-Jahilun (the ignorants or the foolish). [2:67]

A Jaahil [ignorant one] is that one who speaks with a speech that contains no benefit and he mocks at the people. As for a sensible person, he sees that one of the most blameworthy traits -which is abhorred by [sound] religion and intellect- is to mock at someone who is a human being like himself. And if he has been favoured over another person, then this favour necessitates that he thanks Allaah and shows mercy to Allaah’s servants.  Therefore, when Musa [alayhis-salaam] said this to them [i.e. I take Allaah’s Refuge from being among the ignorant], they knew that it [i.e. what he commanded them] was truth, so they said: [ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُبَيِّن لَّنَا مَا هِيَ -call upon your Lord for us that He may make plain to us what it is!(2:68)]

Absolutely Forbidden To Fabricate Lies against People- Whether They Are Muslims or Non-Muslims

Written by — Admin on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam.

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

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah [rahimahullaah] said:

Lying against an individual is absolutely forbidden- whether the man [i.e. the one lied against] is a Muslim or a disbeliever, righteous or a wicked sinner-; but fabricating lies against a believer is more severe.

Boyfriends and Girlfriends in Islaam – Shaykh Al-Uthaymeen

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Having Boyfriends & Girlfriends in Islaam

What is the ruling on a man and woman who kiss, and do everything else other than intercourse?

Answer: These deeds which you have mentioned are impermissible – unlawful for them, because Allah – the Most High – says:

And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) except from their wives or that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame, but whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors;
Al-Muminoon 5-7

And His statement – The One free from all deficiency, the Most High:

And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah [i.e. anything that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives him).
Al-Israa 32

And Allaah did not say, “And do not fornicate”, except to deal with everything that is a cause and leads to fornication, and this –  what they are doing – is zina of the hand by touching, zina of the eye by looking, zina of the feet by walking (to do that which is haraam). This is impermissible for them and it is obligated on them to repent.

It is obligated on those given responsibility to educate them and dissuade them from the likes of these actions, and turn them away from this sin.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam) did not prohibit a person from being alone with a strange woman (one who it is not permissible to be alone with) except out fearing this this deed and its likes.

So you, may Allah give you success, advise them with that which is obligated on you, warn them about this, the impermissiblity of this is clear and is present in the books of tafseer, books of hadeeth, books of fiqh, all of them. It is not allowed and it is impermissible.

[3] Thorns In The Throats of The Frustrated Slanderers and Spiteful Propagandists – [Aasim Al-Hakeem and His Ilk]

Written by Salafi Dawah Manchester on . Posted in Methodology - 'Manhaj', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Refutations, Tamyee'.

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

Allaah [The Most High] said:

ـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُونُواْ قَوَّٲمِينَ بِٱلۡقِسۡطِ شُہَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَوِ ٱلۡوَٲلِدَيۡنِ وَٱلۡأَقۡرَبِينَ‌ۚ إِن يَكُنۡ غَنِيًّا أَوۡ فَقِيرً۬ا فَٱللَّهُ أَوۡلَىٰ بِہِمَا‌ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُواْ ٱلۡهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعۡدِلُواْ‌ۚ وَإِن تَلۡوُ ۥۤاْ أَوۡ تُعۡرِضُواْ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ خَبِيرً۬ا

O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even though it be against yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allah is a Better Protector to both (than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allah is Ever Well-Acquainted with what you do.

Indeed, Aasim Al-Hakeem [may Allaah guide him and restrain his slanderous tongue Aameen] hurls slanders at the Salafiyyoon, which not only manifests his frustration due to being unable to provide solid proofs to support his arguments, but also the fact that he is a doubt-monger and one who seeks to hide the truth. So he [may Allaah guide him and free him from the shackles of hizbiyyah Aameen] claims that he has seen those who claim to be Salafis, especially from non Arabs who make their living through criticizing Daees and scholars, though themselves don’t possess the basics of knowledge or Aqeedah.  

Firstly: Aasim [may Allaah guide him and restrain his slanderous tongue Aameen] did not provide any proof to back up his claims; for where is the proof to support his claim that those Salafiyyoon make a living through criticising Da’ees and scholars! Indeed, Ibn Abdi Rabbihi [rahimahullaah] said: Choosing speech is more difficult than authorship, and indeed it is said, ‘The choice of a man (in speech) is in harmony with his intellect’. [1]

Aasim’s statement is not merely a false claim and a slander uttered by accident, rather it is one uttered out of malice after being unable to produce proofs to justify his companionship with the people of bidah and hizbiyyah, such as Al-Areefee and others.  Indeed, the one upon truth is not in need of lying or slandering in order manipulate and deceive his listeners. Indeed, is it not amazing that a man portrays himself as one qualified to disseminate knowledge, yet he slanders and makes false claims against Salafiyyoon- seeking to put others down without a shred of evidence and in order to feel good about himself, and hoping that others will swallow such garbage?! Indeed, it is said that the liar is a thief because a thief deceives you with regards to your wealth and the liar deceives you with regards to your intellect. [Adabud Dunyaa Wal-Aakhirah: page:262]

Hatred and Malice towards those Salafiyyoon who refute his deviant companions, -Areefee and others- leads him to lies and slander. It is evil enough that a man lies to obtain some of the goods of this worldly life, then how about lying in the field of Dawah- slandering the Salafiyyoon, whilst accompanying the people of bidah and hizbiyyah.  Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:   Lying is not permissible. It is a major sin from the major sins. It (lying) is not permissible except in three affairs which the prophet made an exception; lying during war, because war is deceit; lying in order to bring about peace between the people; and lying between married couples in order to bring about rectification to the family with regards to the relationship between (husband and the wife). These three affairs are that of maslahah, and in them is a greater good than evil; so (lying) is permissible (in this case). As for calling to Allaah, it has no need for lies. It is not permissible to utilize lies in calling to Allaah. Calling to Allaah is to (be carried out) by way of truth, the Book, the sunnah, fine admonition and arguing in a way that is better and not by way of lies. [End of quote: source: al-ijaabatul muhimmah fee mashaakil al-mulimmah, page:271-272]

Yoonus Ibn Ubayd (rahimahullaah) said: Indeed, you see a man fasting a lot, abstaining from the forbidden affairs and praying the night prayer, whilst he testifies to falsehood in the morning. [2]

Secondly: As for Aasim’s claim that those Salafiyyoon are ignorant of the basics of knowledge and Aqeedah, then indeed –once again- he did not produce a single proof to support his claim, rather what he seeks to hide is the fact that the Salaficentres are busy with Duroos delivered by those who are either well known to some of the well-known scholars, such as Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Mhammad Bin Haadi, Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhaari, Shaikh Rabee and others or those Salafiyyoon who graduated from Madeenah university. The books transmitted in the various Maraakiz of Salafiyyah in the West include Usool Ath-Thalaatha, Qawaa’id Al-Arba’ah, Nawaaqid Al-Islaam, Kitaab At-Tawheed, Shuroot As-Salaah, Umdatul Ahkaam and other numerous books.

On the other hand, those who deliver such lessons in the various Maraakiz do not behave like Aasim, for he enters into affairs that are not his speciality. And unlike Aasim, they do not make statements based on speculation and conjecture. See links:

http://www.salaficentre.com/2014/02/part-3-a-reply-to-asim-al-hakeems-nonsense-the-sahaabah-differed-in-aqeedah/

Finally: Therefore, we say to Aasim Al-Hakeem and his companions that the Salafiyyoon neither take knowledge from guessers nor from those who approach the Tobooliyyaat. Uqbah Bin Aamir (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: ”Learn before those who depend on guessing”; meaning: those who base their judgement on presumption. [3]

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said: [الطبوليات ] are those Masaa’il (affairs related to the religion) by way of which fame is sought. They are called ‘Tubooliyyaat’ because it is similar to a Tabl (drum) which has a sound and an echo. So when an odd affair comes to the people and a (person) becomes famous by way of it, then it becomes as if it is the sound of a drum. [Sharh Hilya Taalib al-Ilm, page: 19]

O Aasim! It is manifest to every Salafi that you are the one who speculates in affairs of knowledge and answers questions which you are not worthy of answering, such as when you attempted to claim that the Salaf differed in Aqeedah, as well as your response regarding Qadr. So before you accuse others of being ignorant of the basics of Aqeedah and knowledge, you should check yourself first and refrain from slander. We ask Allaah for Ikhlaas, Sidq, Thabaat and Husnul Khaatimah Aameen.

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

Shaikh Abdul Azeez Aala Shaikh [may Allaah preserve him..Aameen] says:

*Boka Haraam is a misguided group and they are from the khawaarij.

*Their actions are evil and harmful for Islam and the Muslims.

*Their actions are destructive.

*Abducting girls is from the actions of a misguided group.

*If Boka Haraam are claiming a call to jihad, then it is nothing but ignorance and enmity against Islaam and the Muslims.

*Boka Haraam are not upon correctness and guidance because Islaam opposes abduction/kidnapping, unlawful killing and transgression.

*Marrying off kidnapped/abducted females is haraam and it is not permissible to give them in marriage.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

لِّلَّهِ مُلۡكُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٲتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۚ يَخۡلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ‌ۚ يَہَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ إِنَـٰثً۬ا وَيَهَبُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ ٱلذُّكُورَ (٤٩) أَوۡ يُزَوِّجُهُمۡ ذُكۡرَانً۬ا وَإِنَـٰثً۬ا‌ۖ وَيَجۡعَلُ مَن يَشَآءُ عَقِيمًا‌ۚ إِنَّهُ ۥ عَلِيمٌ۬ قَدِيرٌ۬

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren whom He wills. Verily, He is the All-Knower and is Able to do all things. [42:49-50]

 

Critical and Constant Examination of Oneself In All Affairs!

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said: ”O miserable one! You are disobedient yet you see yourself as a good-doer; you are ignorant yet you see yourself as a scholar; you are miserly yet you see yourself as a generous person; you are an idiot yet you see yourself as a sensible person, and your lifespan is short yet your hopes are prolonged”.

Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) said: ”I swear by Allaah, (Fudayl) spoke the truth! You (O miserable one) are an oppressor yet you see yourself as one who is oppressed; you eat haraam yet you see yourself as one who fears (Allaah); you are a rebellious evil person yet you see yourself as someone who is just; you seek knowledge for the sake of the worldly things yet you see yourself as one who seeks it for the sake of Allaah”.

Repentance

Allaah (The Most High) said:

قُلْ يَا عِبَادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِهِمْ لَا تَقْنَطُوا مِن رَّحْمَةِ اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Say: “O ‘Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. [39:53]

وَأَنِيبُوا إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ وَأَسْلِمُوا لَهُ مِن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ ثُمَّ لَا تُنصَرُونَ

“And turn in repentance and in obedience with true Faith (Islamic Monotheism) to your Lord and submit to Him, (in Islam), before the torment comes upon you, then you will not be helped. [39:54]

وَاتَّبِعُوا أَحْسَنَ مَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكُم مِّن رَّبِّكُم مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ الْعَذَابُ بَغْتَةً وَأَنتُمْ لَا تَشْعُرُونَ

“And follow the best of that which is sent down to you from your Lord (i.e. this Qur’an, do what it orders you to do and keep away from what it forbids), before the torment comes on you suddenly while you perceive not. [39:55]

أَن تَقُولَ نَفْسٌ يَا حَسْرَتَا عَلَىٰ مَا فَرَّطتُ فِي جَنبِ اللَّهِ وَإِن كُنتُ لَمِنَ السَّاخِرِينَ

Lest a person should say: “Alas, my grief that I was undutiful to Allah (i.e. I have not done what Allah has ordered me to do), and I was indeed among those who mocked [at the truth! i.e. La ilaha ill-Allah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), the Qur’an, and Muhammad  and at the faithful believers, etc.] [39:56]

أَوْ تَقُولَ لَوْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَانِي لَكُنتُ مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ

Or (lest) he should say: “If only Allah had guided me, I should indeed have been among the Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons) [39:57]

أَوْ تَقُولَ حِينَ تَرَى الْعَذَابَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي كَرَّةً فَأَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Or (lest) he should say when he sees the torment: “If only I had another chance (to return to the world) then I should indeed be among the Muhsinun (good-doers) [39:58]
