An-Nasr Abaadiy (rahimahullaah) said:
”The foundation of this Madhab (i.e. the Madhab of Ahlus Sunnah) is adherence to the Book and the Sunnah; abandonment of desires and innovations; to take the Salaf as an example and abandon what the late comers have invented (in the religion), and to be established upon what those who came earlier (i.e. the Salaf) followed.”
[Madaarij As-Saalikeen of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) 3/149]
Harb Al-Kirmaani (rahimahullaah) stated regarding the creed transmitted from all the Salaf that: ”If the ruler commands you an affair in which there is disobedience to Allaah, then you do not obey him at all; but you are not allowed to rebel against him nor deny him his rights.” [حادي الأرواح of Imaam Ibnul Qayyim: page: 104]

Imaam Nawawi (rahimahullaah) said:
”As for rebelling against them (i.e. the rulers) and fighting them, it is forbidden by way of consensus of the Muslims (i.e. scholars of Islam) even if they (i.e. rulers) are sinful and oppressive. And indeed the ahaadeeth are manifestly clear regarding what we have mentioned and Ahlus Sunnah (i.e. the Ulama of Ahlus Sunnah) have consensus that the ruler is not removed due to (him being) sinful.” [Sharh An-Nawawi 12/229]

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said:
”The leaders of the people of Bidah are more harmful upon the Ummah than the sinful people; so because of this the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) commanded that the khawaarij are killed (i.e. fought and killed by the Muslim ruler) and he prohibited (us) from fighting the oppressive rulers.” [Majoo Al-Fataawaa 7/284]
Imaam Dhahabi (rahimahullaah) stated about Imaam Daaraqutni (rahimahullaah):
”The man never entered into philosophical rhetoric, or debate (that has no basis or benefit), nor absorbed in that; rather he was a Salafi.”
[Siyar: 16/457]
Assalaamu alaykum warahmatullaah;
Indeed brothers and sisters, this conference was filled with tremendous advises for the family. Ustaadh Abu Hakeem’s (may Allaah preserve him) lectures based on Ibn Jawzi’s (rahimahullaah) advice to his son manifested the great concern a father should have for his children. Ustaadh Abu Idrees’s (may Allaah preserve him) lecture on the family focused greatly on the role of the parents in hastening to take the lead in obtaining the reward of Allaah in this dunyah and the aakhirah. Ustaadh Amjad’s (may Allaah preserve him) lecture addressed different affairs of tarbiyah, especially the fact that we should occupy our children with the religion of Allaah.
Indeed they mentioned beneficial things related to the Aakhirah and the Dunyaa. They mentioned ways and means of aiding our families in both their deen and dunyah affairs. They mentioned the true love and compassion we should nurture within our families and that we co-operate upon righteousness and piety. They mentioned the harmful affairs our families may face and how to repel them. And that we should lead by example. May Allaah reward all the brothers for taking time out to advise us with beneficial affairs in this life and the next. These lectures must be obtained and kept as a source of reminder.
And Allaah knows best
