The Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said:

‘Indeed Allaah is Pure and He does not accept, except that which is pure’

Shaikh Saaleh Al Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) commented on this hadith saying:

In this hadith he (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) described Allaah (The Exalted] that Allaah (Glorified Be He and Free Is He from all imperfections, faults and weaknesses) is Pure.  Allaah is pure, meaning: Allah is free from all imperfections and deficiencies.  He is Pure in His Essence, in His Names and Attributes, and in His Commandments and Prohibitions.  Allaah is Pure in every aspect and imperfection cannot reach Him. And for that reason Allaah does not accept actions, statements and intentions except that which is pure.  He does not accept filthy statements, actions and intentions. Allaah does not accept except the pure, as Allaah (The Most High) said:

إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ

‘To Him ascend (all) the goodly words'[35:10]

Allaah does not accept, except good speech and good actions. As for filthy speech, then indeed Allaah rejects and hates it, such as lies, backbiting, tale carrying, abuse, false speech and false testimony, and all filthy statements, (such as) shirk and kufr.  All of this is filthy speech and does not ascend to Allaah, and they are not accepted.

It is permissible for a woman, whilst she is on her menses, to wash (deceased) women and shroud them. And from the men, she is only allowed to wash and shroud her deceased husband. Menstruation is not considered something that can prevent (a woman) from washing a deceased person.

There is no difference between men and women in this (affair). It is incumbent to known a principle and it is: The initial ruling is that what is affirmed for men (in acts of worship) is affirmed for women, unless evidence is established to differentiate them.

Preservation of the Shariah by standing firm against Bidah and the Mubtadi’ah! By Shaikh Abdullaah al-Bukhaari

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Shaikh Abdullaah Al-Bukhaari (may Allaah preserve him) says:

And from the greatest of affairs in preserving and upholding this Shariah, is to stand firm with knowledge and justice against bidah and the innovators–utilising the paths of the Shariah to oppose their transgressions; repel their plots; manifest the signpost of (sound) allegiance and enmity (for the sake of Allaah); love and hate for the sake of Allaah and putting it into practice.

If the harm of innovation (i.e. in religion) was limited to the innovator and not transferred to others, then the affair would have come to an end and the circumstances would have been made easy. However there is what harms the innovator and there is what harms his followers with regards to following bidah. There is what harms the Religion itself and there is what harms the Ummah that falls into bidah in its religious affairs.

It is obligated on the scholars to clarify the reality- Imaam Bin Baaz

 Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

It is obligated on the scholars to clarify the reality. They should debate every group and give advice to all, so that they can traverse upon the path Allaah has ordained for His slaves, and the path which His Messenger Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) called to. And whoever oversteps this path or remains upon obstinacy, then it is obligatory to expose him…

[1] Verdicts of the Scholars against At-Tahazzub (Illegal Partisanship)- Imaam Albaani

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Albaani (rahimahullaah) said:

It is not hidden from every Muslim who is acquainted with the Book, the Sunnah and that which our Salaf were upon, that the Tahazzub (Illegal partisanship) and gathering within the groups that carry different views or different methods (of Dawah) has nothing to do with Islaam; rather in many Aayaat of the Qur’aan our Lord (The Mighty and Majestic) has prohibited us from that. Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَلَا تَكُونُواْ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِڪِينَ

مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ فَرَّقُواْ دِينَهُمۡ وَڪَانُواْ شِيَعً۬ا‌ۖ كُلُّ حِزۡبِۭ بِمَا لَدَيۡہِمۡ فَرِحُونَ

”And be not of Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, polytheists, idolaters, etc.). Of those who split up their religion (i.e. who left the true Islamic Monotheism), and became sects, [i.e. they invented new things in the religion (Bid’ah), and followed their vain desires], each sect rejoicing in that which is with it.” [30: 31-32]

Abu Mu’aawiyah (Abdullaah Al-Gambi)

I am free (or liberated) and I am free to do what I want! [Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen responds]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Belief - 'Aqeedah', Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Monotheism - Tawheed, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) was asked about the statement of a person who says:

”I am free (or liberated)”

 

Answer

If a liberated/free man says this and intends by it freedom from slavery to the creation, then yes he is free from slavery to the creation. However, if he intends by this that he is liberated/ freed from servitude to Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic), then indeed he has erred in his understanding of servitude and he does not understand the meaning of freedom/liberation; because servitude to other than Allaah is bondage. As for the servitude of a person to Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic), then this is real freedom; because if he does not humble himself to Allaah, he will humble himself to other than Allaah. So he deceives himself when he says that he is free/liberated, meaning: he is liberated from obedience to Allaah and does not fulfil (such obedience to Him).

Imaam Muhammad Bin Saaleh Al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) was asked about the statement of a disobedient person, who when met with disapproval (due to sins committed he would say):

”I am free with regards to what I carry out of my own actions.”

 

Answer

This is an error; we say: You are not free to disobey Allaah, rather if you disobey Allaah, then indeed you have violated the slavery which you claim to be upon of obedience, humility and submission to Allaah;  and you have entered into the bondage of Shaytaan and desires.
