Hiding Knowledge – Are you guilty or ignorant?
The wise ones said:
Whoever hides knowledge, it is as if he is ignorant of it.

A short reminder to those who accuse others of blameworthy Taqleed, whilst arguing on behalf of Hajoori
In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy
Ibn Abdul-Barr (rahimahullaah) said: ”According to the scholars, Taqleed (i.e. blind adherence) is other than Ittibaa [i.e. adherence to an authentic affair narrated from the Messenger-sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and obviously with the correct understanding of the Salaf]; because ittibaa is to follow a person based on what is apparent to you of the superiority of his statement and soundness of his school of thought. And Taqleed is that you speak with his statement, whilst you neither know the angle of his speech nor its meaning and you reject speech besides it; Or his mistake is made manifest to you, but you follow him and venerate his opposition, whilst the corruptness of his speech is clear to you. This is what is forbidden to speak with in the religion of Allaah (The Most High)”
[End of Quote: Jaami Bayaan Al-Ilm Wa-Fadlihee: 2/787]
This accusation of blameworthy Taqleed was the same one utilized by the followers of Maribi, Halabi, Maghraawi etc to waterdown and conceal the destructive innovations of their beloved ones and figureheads. So how can those people fishing in the murky waters on behalf of Al-Hajoori prove that those who have taken the correct stances against Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi are guilty of blameworthy Taqleed?! Who in his right mind can say that people are blind following Shaikh Rabee, Shaikh Ubaid, Shaikh Wassaabi, Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari and the rest of the Mashaayikh of Yemen in this affair of Al-Hajoori Al-Haddaadi Al-Mubtadi?! Are his dangerous mistakes, innovations and haddaadiyyah not manifest?! Has he recanted from all his affairs of misguidance?!

Our Salaf: Abul Abbaas As-Deenooree (rahimahullaah)– There is nothing in the Dunyaa…..
Abul Abbaas Ad-Deenooree (rahimahullaah) said:
”There is nothing in the worldly life more precious and elegant than the heart and time, whilst you waste away time and the heart?!” (i.e. wasted in other than what is good and beneficial)
[Az-Zuhd Al-Kabeer 294]
Abu Hakeem (Bilaal Davis) said: Now that Shaikh Rabee has publicly made his position clear…
“Oh Yahyaa! Hold onto the book with firm strength (i.e. Hold fast to it)” (Suratul Maryam Vs 13)
Bismillahi Wal Hamdullillah Was salaatu Was Salaamu ‘Alaa Rasoolillahi
‘Ammaa Ba’d:
There is no doubt that success lies in following the book and the sunnah, clinging to the two of them and holding fast to them both. And this was Allah’s command to the prophets and the Messengers.

[C] Our Salaf and their fear of the consequences of death–Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee
Zakariyyah Al-Abdee (rahimahullaah) said: Ibraaheem An-Nakhaee (rahimahullaah) wept during his illness, so it was said to him: ‘’O father of Imraan what makes you weep?! He said: ”Why should I not weep whilst I am waiting for a messenger from Allaah (i.e. the Angel of death) to give me glad tidings of either this (i.e. Paradise) or (sorrowful news) of that (i.e. hell fire).”
[Hilyatul Awliyaa 4/224]
[b] Our Salaf–Remembrance of Death–Rabee Bin Haytham
It was said to Rabee Bin Haytham (rahimahullaah): If only you sit with us; he said: ”If my heart is isolated from remembrance of death for an hour, it will corrupt me.”
[Hilyatul Awliyaa: 2/116]
[a] Our Salaf and their fear of the consequences of death–Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu)
When death approached Abu Hurairah (radiyallaahu-anhu) he cried; so he was asked: ”What makes you cry?” He said: ”After isolation, the scarcity of provisions (for the hereafter by way of good deeds) and a major obstacle (i.e. the questioning in the grave and the standing on the day of judgment), then the place of descent will either be paradise or hell.” [Source: Sifatus Safwa 1/694]

Question:
How can a person become strong in Eemaan–fulfilling the commandments of Allaah and fearful of His Punishment?
Answer:
This can be (attained) by way of recitation of Allaah’s Book–studying it, pondering upon its meanings and rulings. And by studying the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) — having knowledge and awareness of the affairs of the Islamic legislation by way of it, acting upon what that necessitates and adhering to it in creed, actions and speech. And to be extremely mindful of (Allaah’s absolute knowledge of whatever you do and wherever you may be), to (nurture) the heart upon awareness of His Greatness, remembrance of the hereafter and what is found in it of recompense, reward, punishment and the severity of its affairs. And to keep the company of those whom (you) know amongst the righteous people and keep away from the people of evil and corruption.

Question:
What are the obligations a woman is to fulfil in order to become a female Muslim who adheres to her Religion?
Answer:
It is obligatory upon a person– be it a man or woman– to enter into the fold of Islaam and testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allaah; (he/she should) establish the five daily prayers, pay the zakat, fast the month of Ramadaan and perform the hajj if the means to that is made possible. And (he/she) should believe and adhere to the pillars of Eemaan and they are: Belief in Allaah, belief in His Angels, belief in His Books, belief in His Messengers, belief in the last day and belief in the pre-decree—its good and evil. (And he/she) should fulfil all the remaining obligations and keep away from the forbidden things. So by way of this (a person) becomes a true Muslim.
