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.

We ask Allaah (The Most High) to keep us steadfast upon His Religion until we meet Him. And we ask Him (The Most High) to protect us and our offspring from the enmity of the people of Shirk, Kufr, Nifaaq and Bidah. We ask Him to protect us and  our offspring from the shameless callers to lewdness, falsehood and filth. Aameen

 

Allaah chooses for His Mercy whom He wills!

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

مَّا يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَلَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَن يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُم مِّنْ خَيْرٍ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ

Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture nor Al-Mushrikun (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, idolaters, polytheists, pagans, etc.) like that there should be sent down unto you any good from your Lord. But Allah chooses for His Mercy whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty.

Reminders from Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah)

They do not want good to be sent down unto the Muslims from their Lord-be it little or plentiful-out of envy and enmity; however Allaah chooses for His Bounty and He is the Owner of Great Bounty. And from Allaah’s Bounties bestowed upon the Muslims is that He sent down the Qur’aan unto the Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in order to sanctify the Muslims, and teach them the Book (the Qur’an) and the Hikmah (i.e. authentic Sunnah, Islamic laws and Fiqh – jurisprudence), and teach them that which they did not used to know.

The Truth Empowers –A reminder from an Imaam of the Sunnah

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Scholars of Islam.

قال الشيخ العلامة عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن أبا بطين ــــ رحمه الله

والإنسان إذا تبين له الحق، لم يستوحش من قلة الموافقين، وكثرة المخالفين

لا سيما في آخر هذا الزمان

Ash-Shaikh Al-Allaamah Abdullaah Ibn Abdur-Rahmaan Abaa Bateen (rahimahullaah) said:

And when the truth is clear to a person, he will not feel desolate (due) to the few people who are in agreement (with him) and the numerousness of those in opposition, especially in this end of time.

No sensible person would desire this for himself/herself

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

And let those who oppose the Messenger’s (Muhammad) commandment (i.e. his Sunnah legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements, etc.) beware, lest some Fitnah befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them. [24:63]

Reminders from Imaam Ibnul Jawzi (rahimahullaah)

There are three statements of the scholars regarding the Fit’nah intended in this Ayah: Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) said that this fitnah is ‘misguidance’; Mujaahid (rahimahullaah) said that it is ‘tribulation in the worldly life’; Muqaatil and As-Sadiy (rahimahumallaah) said that it is ‘disbelief’

And there are two statements of the scholars regarding the punishment intended in this Ayah: It is either the presence of ‘killing in this worldly life’ or punishment in the hell fire in the afterlife.

Musa (alayhis-salaam) advised them with a great affair!

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Monotheism - Tawheed, Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَقَالَ مُوسَىٰ يَا قَوْمِ إِن كُنتُمْ آمَنتُم بِاللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّسْلِمِينَ

فَقَالُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِّلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ

وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ

And Musa (Moses) said: “O my people! If you have believed in Allah, then put your trust in Him if you are Muslims (those who submit to Allah’s Will).” They said: “In Allah we put our trust. Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the folk who are Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doing) (i.e. do not make them overpower us). And save us by Your Mercy from the disbelieving folk.” [10:84-86]

Reminders from Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah)

They asked their Lord not to put them to trial-neither by way of being placed under the authority of a people who would then put them to trial, nor to be defeated and then they fall into trial, saying: Had we been upon the truth we would not have been defeated.

They deserved disgrace in this life and the next due to their filthy and evil deeds!

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Scholars of Islam.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لَا يَحْزُنكَ الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قُلُوبُهُمْ ۛ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ هَادُوا ۛ سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَ ۖ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِن بَعْدِ مَوَاضِعِهِ ۖ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هَٰذَا فَخُذُوهُ وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوا ۚ وَمَن يُرِدِ اللَّهُ فِتْنَتَهُ فَلَن تَمْلِكَ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَن يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْ ۚ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا خِزْيٌ ۖ وَلَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ

O Messenger (Muhammad)! Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: “We believe” with their mouths but their hearts have no faith.

And of the Yahood are men who listen much and eagerly to lies – listen to others who have not come to you [those of their leaders who substitute the Torah (1)]

They change the words from their places- [declaring the halaal to be haraam and the haraam to be halaal (2)]; they say, “If you are given this (ruling), take it; but if you are not given this, then beware!”

And whomsoever Allah wants to put in Al-Fitnah- [misguidance or punishment, or exposed; (3) because of his rejecting the Faith (4)] you can do nothing for him against Allah- [you cannot save him (5)]

Those are the ones [Yahood and Munaafiqoon (6)] whose hearts Allaah does not want to purify (from disbelief and hypocrisy); for them there is a disgrace in this world- [Allaah informed the Prophet of what was hidden in the hearts of the Munaafiqoon as well as the lies of the Yahood in this worldly life (6)], and for them (there) is a great torment in the Hereafter. [5:41]

There is no unrestricted partisanship to anyone besides the Messenger of Allaah

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Belief - 'Aqeedah', Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Al-Allaamah Zayd Bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (rahimahullaah) stated:

There is no (unrestricted) partisanship except to the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) because he is infallible and never speaks out of his desires. As for unrestricted partisanship to personalities whether they are correct or mistaken, then indeed this is not permissible for the seeker of knowledge.  On the other hand, he should look to such and such Shaikhs as to which of them is upon uprightness and is following the Manhaj of the Salaf. This is the one whom we place our hands on his hands- not out of blameworthy blind following, rather due to the fact that he is upon the truth. So we agree with him upon truth and follow a singular path in obedience to the statement of Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic):

[وَأَنَّ هَٰذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيمًا فَاتَّبِعُوهُ ۖ وَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ]

“And verily, this is my Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. 6:153

As for the one who selects Shaikhs, leaders and guides, whilst being in agreement with them- in what is correct and wrong- to the extent that they do not leave their Manhaj whether they are correct or wrong, then these are the people who bring evil upon themselves and upon others. And if they do not repent, then they are most worthy of being blamed. So the affair-and all praise belongs to Allaah- is clear and it is not permissible for a person to be in confusion regarding this affair.

Therefore, we are with those who follow the straight path-we follow a singular path which Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) has commanded us to follow and which the messenger called us to. And those you follow the wrong path or are mistaken in many of their affairs, or in some of their affairs, we leave him (i.e. we leave his mistakes or abandon him when he deserves to be boycotted). None is followed in everything except the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). As for the people, then indeed they can be correct or mistaken. Indeed, we do not follow them and we do not follow their footsteps solely because they are Shaikhs, Callers to Islaam, leaders or guides; rather you should be with the people of the Salafi Manhaj-those who follow the correct manhaj and correct understanding.

[4] The Haal of Abdul Maalik Ar-Ramadaani! [Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi Clarifies one of Abdul Maalik’s falsehoods]

Written by Masjid Furqan on . Posted in Announcements, Articles, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations, Scholars of Islam.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Shaikh Muhammad Bin Haadi (may Allaah preserve him) stated

At present-during these days in particular-this term Ghuluww is utilised by the one who wants to slip away from the Salafi Manhaj. He does not utilise it in a correct manner. It is utilised by the likes of Ali Hasan Al-Halabi and those with him; it is utilised by Abul Hasan Al-Maribi and those with him; it is utilised by Abdul Maalik Ramadaani and those with him.

All these people do not intend (i.e. in their usage of the term Ghuluww) the Gluluww that the Messenger of Allaah [sallal-laahu-alayhis-wasallam] (meant or warned against); rather in reality they intend (by way of their usage of the term Ghuluww) Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa-ah. They intend the Salafiyyoon-those who wage war against Bidah; shunning it against those who (carry it); shunning those who establish it, or those who beautiful its affair or defend its people, or find (lame) excuses for them. They (i.e. these people who falsely accuse Ahlus Sunnah of Ghuluww) find excuses for these innovators-within the ranks of Ikhwaan al-muslimeen, or the Soorooris or those upon their path- who have separated from that which Ahlus Sunnah were upon during their era….

[1] The Haal of Abdul Malik Ar-Ramadaani! [An expected guest of Luton and Brixton]

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Announcements, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Refutations, Scholars of Islam.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy

Summarized benefits from Shaikh Ubaid (may Allaah preserve him)

*Abdul Maalik has become confounded, disorderly and erratic.

*At present he is a follower of Ali Halabi (i.e. the innovator) and he (i.e. Abdul Maalik) is not to be referred to.

What about his old books?

*A student of knowledge can benefit from his old books, such as Madaarik An-Nadhr, which is a good book against the khawaarij. He also has a book on Hijaab about which the Shaikh Ubaid agreed with the questioner that there is no harm in reading it.
