Indeed, our obligation with regards (to safeguarding a state of security in the land) is not only to do with aspects of security and the people (given authority by the state to carry out different tasks in order to preserve security in the land); rather it is an affair that concerns every Muslim in this world and […]

Those Evil Affairs That Befalls both Individuals and Society When Security Is Loss Firstly: The disappearance of the Jamaa’ah leads to disappearance of (the sound) religion; then the evil people will overpower the good people. The people of corruption and falsehood become stronger than the people of uprightness and truth. The corrupters hasten to spread […]

Without security, there cannot be a (good or fruitful) life for the people! And without security, neither the worldly nor religious affairs will be established (properly). Fitan leads to loss of security, then a pleasant life of obedience to Allaah (The Most High) alternates into a life of hardship due to disobedience to Allaah and […]

Complete security [in the lands] cannot be sound except through two affairs and they are: [(a) التطبيق لشرع الله تعالى  – Application of Allaah’s (The Most High) Sharee’ah] [(b) السمع والطاعة لولاة الأمور- Listening to those in charge of the affairs and obeying them (i.e. the rulers)] Indeed, the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) clarified this (affair) which […]

When our Sayyid Ibraaheem (alayhis salaatu wassalaam) settled some of his offspring at this valley (i.e. Makkah), the first of his supplications to his Lord is what Allaah related to us i.e. in the Qur’aan (that Ibraaheem said)]: وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَٰذَا بَلَدًا آمِنًا وَارْزُقْ أَهْلَهُ مِنَ الثَّمَرَاتِ مَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُم بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ […]

Security is a great blessing (bestowed) on a person (and) without it he will not be able to live his life effectively, fruitfully and happily. And due to this, Allaah bestowed (His blessings) by making (Makkah and the Masjid Al-Haraam) a safe sacred place. Allaah (The Most High) said: وَإِذْ جَعَلْنَا الْبَيْتَ مَثَابَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَمْنًا […]

Allaah (The Most High) said: فِي قُلُوبِهِم مَّرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا In their hearts is a disease and Allah has increased their disease. [2:10] The disease of the heart (appears) when it is isolated from its soundness and uprightness, for indeed its soundness is when it is acquainted with the truth, has love for it […]

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَوْفُوا بِالْعُقُودِ O you who believe! Fulfill (your) obligations Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) stated that this is a command from Allaah (The Most High) to His believing slaves (regarding) what Eemaan necessitates (in relation) to fulfilling obligations  – fulfilling and completing obligations and neither breaking them nor falling short (in fulfilling them). […]

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said: [فعلَيْكَ بالتَّفصِيلِ والتَّمييزِ فالإطْلاَقُ والإجمَالُ دُونَ بَيَا قَدْ أفْسَدَا هَذَا الوُجُودَ وخَبَّطَا الأذْهَانَ والآراءَ كُلَّ زَمَانِ   ] So upon you is that (you) detail (affairs) and make a distinction, for unrestricted and general (speech) without clarification has indeed corrupted this existence (i.e. the world),  and (led) intellects and views […]

Abu Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] used to have a camel called Damoon, and whenever the people hired it from him, he would say, ‘’Do not make it carry such and such, for indeed it is not able to carry more than that.’’ When death came to him, he said, ‘’O Damoon! Do not argue against me to […]
