Al-Mulaazamah for Ulterior Motives (i.e. accompanying scholars and studying under them for a long time, whilst concealing Ulterior Motives)

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Shaikh Saaleh Aala Shaikh (may Allaah preserve him) says:

As for Ikhwaan  Al-Muslimeen [i.e. the Muslim brotherhood sect that was founded by the Soofi Hasan Al-Bannah(1)], from that which is most manifestly evident regarding dawah with them is that they conceal, disguise, fickle and get close to the one they believe will benefit them and not making known their true reality.  The reality of the affair is hidden and among them is one who mingles with some of the Scholars and the Mashaa’yikh for a long time and he (i.e. the Scholar or Shaikh) knows not their reality.  He (i.e. this hidden Ikhwaani) makes manifest a statement but hides the opposite- he does not say all that he has with him……….[Al-Fataawaa Al-Muhimmah Fee Tabseeril Ummah: page: 180]

Reminder: A Tremendous Reward in This Life and the Next for Those Who Forgive Others When Afflicted With Personal Harm

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ ۚ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ

The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allah ordered the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly), then verily! he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend

وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ

But none is granted it (the above quality) except those who are patient, and none is granted it except the owner of the great portion (of the happiness in the Hereafter i.e. Paradise and in this world of a high moral character)

[وَلَا تَسْتَوِي الْحَسَنَةُ وَلَا السَّيِّئَةُ – (The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal] – meaning: There is a big difference between this (i.e. a good deed) and this (i.e. an evil deed).

[ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ – (Repel (the evil) with one which is better]-meaning: The one who does wrong to you, repel (his evil) by treating him in a good manner, just as Umar (radiyallaahu-anhu) said: “There is no better punishment for one who has disobeyed Allah regarding you (i.e. violates a right of yours that Allaah has commanded to be fulfilled) than your obeying Allah regarding him (i.e. you fulfilling his rights in obedience to Allaah). ”

[فَإِذَا الَّذِي بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَهُ عَدَاوَةٌ كَأَنَّهُ وَلِيٌّ حَمِيمٌ – (then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend] – meaning: If you (return) good treatment to the one who treat you badly, this good deed (or treatment) will lead to reconciliation and love. He will show you affection and become as if he is a close friend to you, and shows you pity and kindness. Then Allah says:

[وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا- (But none is granted it except those who are patient]-meaning: No one accepts this advice and acts in accordance with it, except for the one who exercises patience in that, because it is hard on the souls (i.e. difficult for people act upon it).

[وَمَا يُلَقَّاهَا إِلَّا ذُو حَظٍّ عَظِيمٍ ]- (and none is granted it except the owner of the great port ion] – meaning: The one who has an ample share of happiness in this world and in the Hereafter. ` Ali bin Abee Talhah said that Ibn` Abbas said in his explanation of this Ayah: “Allaah command the believers to exercise patience when they are angry, to be forbearing when encountered with ignorance and to forgive when treated badly; for if they do that, Allaah will protect them from shaytaan and make their enemies humble (in their presence) until they become like close friends.

Food for thought about those exaggerators among the callers to Imaamah or the Khilaafah!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Callers & Individuals, Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Ibnul Mutahhir (a raafidi) said that Imaamah is the most important obligation.

Response: This is a lie according to the consensus of the scholars, for Imaan [i.e. belief in Allaah; belief in Allaah’s Angels; belief in Allaah’s Books; belief in Allaah’s Messengers; belief in the hereafter and belief in Qadr-its good and evil)] is more important.  And from those affairs that are known by everyone in the religion is that when the disbelievers during the era of Messenger entered into the fold of Islaam, the rulings of Islaam were conveyed to them and Imaamah was not mentioned to them in any situation. Then how can it be the most important obligation?!

Precise quote by Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi from Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab about referring back to the Book and Sunnah during differ

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated in ‘Al-Iqnaa’u Bimaa Jaa’a An A’immatid Da’wati Minal Aqwaali Fil Ittibaa’ page17:

Imaam Muhammad Bin Abdil Wahhaab (rahimahullaah) said regarding the statement of [Allaah (The Most High)]:

فَإِن تَنَازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَالرَّسُولِ إِ

 (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah and His Messenger

When it is the case that Allaah [Glorified be He and free is He from all imperfections] has indeed obligated on us to refer back to Allaah concerning wherein we differ- that is (referring back our differing) to the Book of Allaah and to the Messenger – that is his Sunnah-; we know definitely (without any doubt) that the one who refers back to the Book and the Sunnah regarding what the people differ in, he will find in them (i.e. the Book and the Sunnah) that which will end the differing (i.e. the correct position will be established and the differing will end).

[3] Shaikh Ubaid Al-Jaabiri briefly speaks about Shaikhul Islaam’s great concern for his children, students and others

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him) said:

And among the most important qualities of the Shaikh [i.e. Shaikhul Islaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab (rahimahullaah)] is that he gave importance to the citizens (of the nation) and acknowledged everyone’s status, and he did not neglect his dependents (i.e. those under his care).

He knew the status of the leader and the scholar. He knew the status of his students and gave them their (rightful) levels. He gave (close) attention to his children, despite being preoccupied with Dawah, writing and teaching. This concern for his children was so much that after him, his children were from the senior scholars, rather among them were some who used to teach the Uloom (i.e. the different subject areas or sciences of the religion) during his lifetime. How can this not be the case, for back in the old days it used to be said: [هذا الشبل من ذلك الأسد – This (brave) cub is from that lion (i.e. from the offspring of that lion)]

[2] Shaikh Ubaid Al-Jaabiri briefly mentions some aspects of Shaikhul Islaam’s (i.e. Imaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhaab) knowledge

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Scholars of Islam.

Shaikh Ubaid Bin Abdillaah Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him) stated:

As for his knowledge (i.e. the knowledge possessed by Shaikhul Islaam), then its effects (i.e. its tremendous effects) are indicative of that. He was an Imaam in Tafseer and this is clearly manifested in his derivation of evidences from the Aayaat (of the Qur’aan). He was a scholar in Hadeeth, so you find how he (utilised them) as evidence in their (appropriate) places. He was a scholar of Fiqh without blindly following (others) and it is enough that he was an Imaam in the fundamental (principles) of the religion and knowledge of the (affairs) of creed- Thaabit Fee Aqeedatihi As-Sunniyyah-firm upon his Sunni Creed (i.e. the correct Sunni Islamic Creed of the Salafus Saalih) and Shubuhaat (i.e. doubts that are made to resemble the truth, but are falsehood in reality) did not shake him, rather he used to refute them…..[Abridged….Source: Tanbeeh Dhawil Uqool As-Saleemah page 11’ by Shaikh Ubaid Al-Jaabiri (may Allaah preserve him)]

[1] Reminder: Faa’idah from Shaikh Abdullah Al-Bukhaari- The Religion is based on clarification of truth and refuting falsehood

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Alaah preserve him) said:

And from which the people of knowledge have affirmed is that this religion is established on two affairs: Clarification of the truth and refuting falsehood and its people.  The affirmation of this (affair) becomes manifest to the one who contemplates on the statement of Tawheed [لا إله إلا الله] with clarification and by way of explanation. The saying of the slave (i.e. the Muslim)  لا إله is a refutation against falsehood and its people-those who deify others besides Allaah.  And the statement   إلا الله is an affirmation of truth and a clarification of it. And it (means) that Allaah alone has the right to be worshipped and He has no partner. Likewise, the statement محمد رسول الله is an affirmation of the Messengership of the Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) and a refutation against the one who gives him a status above that and thus deifies him; or lowers the rank of his Prophethood and Messengership.

Reminder: The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) Advised Mu’aadh (radiyallaahu-anhu) To Make This Supplication after the Prayer

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Announcements, Purification of The Soul, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

It was reported from Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman Al-Hubli, from As-SunãbihI, from Mu’ädh bin Jabal, that the Messenger of Allah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) held his hand and said: “0 Mu’adh! I swear by Allah, I love you. I swear by Allah, I love you. I advise you, 0 Mu’ãdh, that you never leave saying after every prayer,

[اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ – O Allah! Help me in remembering You, thanking You, and perfecting my worship of You (1)].” And Mu’ãdh advised As-Sunãbihi with that, and As-Sunabihi advised Abu ‘Abdur-RahmAn with that. [2]

[1] According to Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah), it is better to supplicate with this supplication after the Tasha’hud and before the Tasleem, but there is no harm in doing so after the Tasleem.
