Reply to a Roman Tyrant

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on . Posted in Articles, Da'wah - Calling To Islam.

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

The tyrant (ruler) of Rome wrote to Khaleefah Al-Mu’tasim intimidating him; so he commanded that the (tyrant) should be sent a reply. He then said to the scribe, ”Write, to proceed: Indeed I have read what you have written and heard your address, and the response is what you will see and not you will hear. [وَسَيَعْلَمُ الْكُفَّارُ لِمَنْ عُقْبَى الدَّارِ] ”And the disbelievers will know who gets the good end (final destination)” [Soorah Ar-Radd: Ayah: 42]

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Aqeedah (Creed & Belief), Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Fatawa-Rulings, Innovations In Islam (Bidah), Methodology - 'Manhaj'.

 

Question:

Is it permissible to seek knowledge from the people of innovation and to read their books due to the absence of the books of Ahlus-Sunnah in my country?

Answer:

All praise is due to Allaah; Ahlus-Sunnah are present and their books are present, however it is required of you to seek (knowledge) and to be eager, and do not depend on the people of innovation and the books of the innovators; do not depend on them because they are like the poisoned food that kills.

Giving Salaam in an empty masjid? – Ash Shaykh Saalih Al Fawzaan

Written by Abu Aa'isha Amjad on . Posted in Articles, Fatawa-Rulings, Islamic Jurisprudence - 'Fiqh', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Question:

Is it from the sunnah for the one who enters the masjid to give the salaams whether there is anyone in it or not, because we heard that whoever enters the masjid it is a must that he gives salaams upon the angels?

Answer:

Give the salaams if someone is in it, (if) he sees someone in it then give the salaams. As for if the masjid is empty then there is no reason to give the salaams.

Imaam Muqbil (rahimahullaah) said: ”As for my Ikhlaas, it is weak.” He said: ”We fear Riyaa for ourselves and we are not safe from it; we fear self-amazement for ourselves and we are not safe from it.” [Source: Al-Fataawa Al-Hadeethiyyah.1/ 31]

”When death approached Amr Bin Qais Al-Malaa’iy (rahimahullaah) he wept; so his companions said to him: ”What makes you weep about the worldly life, for by Allaah you have been modest during your life.” He said: ”By Allaah, I am not weeping over the worldly life, rather I weep fearing that I will be deprived of the goodness of the hereafter.” [[Shu’ab Al-Imaan 1/508]

When a Bedouin heard the saying of Allaah [فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاء وَالأرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِّثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنطِقُونَ] ”Then, by the Lord of the heaven and the earth, it is the truth (i.e. what has been promised to you), just as it is the truth that you can speak”[Dhaariyaat Ayah: 23]; so he (i.e. the bedouin) said: ”Who angered the Mighty and Majesty so that He made an oath?!” [At-Tawwaabeen: 279]

The levels of the scholars–A trial for the emotional and hasty youth!

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Brotherhood, Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam, Seeking Knowledge.

Imaam Ibn Hibbaan reported in Al-Majrooheen from Amr Ibn Muhammad An-Naaqib that he heard a man asking Imaam Wakee Ibn Jarraah a question, saying: ”Do you know the hadeeth of Sa-eed Ibn Ubaid At-Tanaaqosee transmitted on the authority of Shabi, about a man who performed hajj for another person and then perform hajj for himself?”  Imaam Wakee asked him, saying: ”Who narrated the Hadeeth?” He said: ”It was narrated by Wahb Ibn Ismaa-eel.”  So Imaam Wakee said: ”Wahb is a righteous man, but the affair of hadeeth is dependent on knowledge of the condition of its narrators and this has its men.” [End of Quote: This incident was related by Shaikh Abdullaah Bukhaari in At-Taleeqaat Ar-Radiyyah alal Mandhoomah Al-Bayqooniyyah Lesson 2]

Therefore, it is important that we return to the scholars in order to place everyone in their rightful place.  Inshaa-Allaah, this is the safeguard from exaggeration or falling short in this affair.  And Allaah knows best.
