Admonish me and be brief–Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) seeks advice!

Written by Jallow Abdullah on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Ibraaheem Ibn Adham (rahimahullaah) said: It has reached me that Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah) said to  Khaalid Ibn Safwaan (rahimahullaah): ”Admonish me and be brief”; so Khaalid said: ”O Leader of the believers! Indeed there are a people who have been deceived by Allaah’s concealment of (their sins, blameworthy affairs,  shortcomings etc) and are put to trial by the good praise (received from the people), so let not the ignorance of others about your (real state of affairs) prevail over what you know about yourself.  May Allaah protect us and you  from becoming deceived by Allaah’s concealment of (our real state of affairs), delayed and negligent in that which  Allaah has obligated and inclining towards desires.”  Ibraaheem said: So he (Umar) wept and then said: ”May Allaah protect us and you from following desires.”

[2] Reminder for all those looking after Salafi Masaajid, Maraakiz and other Salafi Institutions

Written by Jallow Abdullah on . Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul.

Shaikhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) stated:

So when a person wishes to associate with a Believer, or a Believer wishes to associate with anyone, and fujoor (wickedness) is mentioned about him, and it has been said that he has repented from it, or that that (the claim of him having wickedness) was stated about him, regardless of whether that saying was true or false, then he can test him (fa innahu yamtahinahu) by what he displays,  his goodness (bir) or his evil (fujoor), his truthfulness or his lying. And likewise, when he desires to give someone a position of authority, he tests him (imtahanahu), just as Umar bin Abdul Azeez commanded his servant to test Ibn Abee Moosaa (yamtahinahu) when his mannerism amazed him (somewhat), so he said to him, “You know my position with the Ameer ul-Mu’mineen, so how much will you give me if I indicate (the appropriateness) of your (being given) authority to him?’’ So he gave him a great amount of wealth. And from this Umar knew that he was not fit for authority.[End of quote: Source: www.salafipublications.com Article ID : BDH050015]

We ask Allaah for Insight. Aameen. Therefore, we should not be oblivious of these affairs because not everyone is suited for a particular role despite the fact that people may possess other praiseworthy traits suitable for other roles. As for the one who blatantly announces his desire for leadership; rather he grieves when prevented from it, then indeed we ask Allaah to grant him Tawfeeq to overcome this weakness. Aameen. To be continued In-Shaa-Allaah

Our Salaf: Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee- Be patient with yourself upon the Sunnah

Imaam Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

Be patient with yourself upon the Sunnah and stop were [Al-Qawm-the people (i.e. Sahaabah(1)] stopped; speak with what they spoke with; refrain from what they refrained from and follow the path of your righteous predecessors; for indeed what sufficed them suffices you. (2)

[1] Reminder to the Salafis of Stoke–Goldie (Abu Usamah Adh-Dhahabi) is a Man of Bidah

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Callers & Individuals, Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

Al-Allaamah Ahmad Bin Yahyah An-Najmi (rahimahullaah) the former Mufti of the Jaazaan (Saudi Arabia) was asked about

“O Shaykh Ahmad we have with us in America a man called abu usaamah who is considered to be from the Du’aat, he aids and supports abul hasan [i.e. Al-Maribi (The Ikhwaani Innovator)] and he calls some noble salafi brothers gulaat (extremists), muqallidah (blind followers),and muhqiboon (the people whose religion is the religion of the one they blindly follow), so what is the legislated position from this man and how should we deal with him?”

The Shaikh (rahimahullaah) answered:

“Your position from him is the same as your position from the people of innovation.

Turn away from him and abandon him.”

[End of Quote]

 

A Reminder To Those who Claim Salafiyyah, whilst they invite Abu Usaamah to their centres

Imaam Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah): ”Whoever sits with a person of innovation has not been given wisdom.”

Shaikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said: He (i.e. the one who sits with a person of bidah) is deprived of wisdom, and wisdom is understanding of the Religion of Allaah.  The one who sits with ahlul bidah is deprived of understanding of the Religion as punishment for him.[Source: It-haaful Qaaree Bitta’liqaat Alaa Sharh As-Sunnah Lil Imaam Barbahaaree (rahimahullaah) by Sheikh Saaleh Al-Fawzaan (hafidha-hullaah) (page: 318, Vol: 2)]

A Few Reminders for the youth!

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Remember this whenever you are aggressive or abrupt in speech towards elders due to being deceived by your youth

Allaah (The Most High) said:

اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةً يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْقَدِيرُ

”Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair. He creates what He wills. And it is He Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful (i.e. Able to do all things).” [30:54]

 

Remember this whenever you are amazed with the little you know!

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَٱللَّهُ أَخۡرَجَكُم مِّنۢ بُطُونِ أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ شَيۡـًٔ۬ا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمُ ٱلسَّمۡعَ وَٱلۡأَبۡصَـٰرَ وَٱلۡأَفۡـِٔدَةَ‌ۙ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَشۡكُرُونَ

”And Allah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allah).” [16:78]

 

Be Mindful of Self-Amazement, especially when your speech is received with acceptance

Imam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) stated in Al Fawaa-id (page 225) that Ibn Sad (rahimahullaah) stated in At Tabaqaat about Umar Ibn Abdul Azeez (rahimahullaah): Whenever he delivered a sermon and feared being amazed with himself, he would end it. And whenever he wrote a letter and feared amazement by way of it; he would tear it. And he would say: ”O Allaah! I seek refuge with you from the evil of my soul.”

[4] Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee

Written by Masjid Al Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Imaam Ash-Shaafi’ee (rahimahullaah) said:

It is necessary that the students of knowledge do their utmost to increase in seeking knowledge; exercising patience in facing every obstacle and having a sincere intention for the sake of Allaah (The Most High) in pursuit of it; for indeed actions are judged by intention. And they should have a fervent desire for Allaah’s Aid and Assistance because good cannot be reached except by the Help of Allaah.

[Aqeedah Ash-Shaafi’ee page: 86]

A Muslim should not behave like the people of Aad–Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah)

Written by Amjad Khan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam.

Imaam Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) stated about the statement of Allaah:

وَإِذَا بَطَشْتُمْ بَطَشْتُمْ جَبَّارِينَ

”And when you seize, you seize as tyrants?” [26:130]

This is a rebuke from Allaah against Aad-the people of Hud (alayhis-salaam). Allaah rebuked them with this and that they are oppressors who strike people without right. They oppress people by way of striking, killing and seizing wealth by force. This is a rebuke against them and a blameworthy trait of theirs. Therefore, this is not permissible; rather it is obligated on a Muslim that he does not take wealth except based on what is right and he does not strike anyone except based on what is right. He neither has a right to transgress against the people nor to strike them; rather he seeks what is right through the path of the Islamic Law. If he has a right to seek after, he should seek it through the courts; through an upright path and through the authorities. He does not strike the people by way of oppression, transgression and injury. He should not oppress them by confiscating their wealth and striking; rather it is obligated on him to take his rights through the path of the Islamic Law and from an Islamic perspective. This (i.e. this statement of Allaah) is a rebuke against Aad and a blameworthy affair for which Allaah sent a devastating barren wind against them. They used to oppress the people and transgressed against them. [Source: Slightly Paraphrased. see link: http://www.binbaz.org.sa/mat/9111 ]
