So whoever wishes for victory and assistance from Allaah, and to make the word of (Allaah) uppermost, then he should change that which he is upon of disobedience, sins and opposition to the command of Allaah. And your Lord has stated:

وَعَدَ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَعَمِلُواْ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ لَيَسۡتَخۡلِفَنَّهُمۡ فِى ٱلۡأَرۡضِ ڪَمَا ٱسۡتَخۡلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبۡلِهِمۡ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمۡ دِينَہُمُ ٱلَّذِى ٱرۡتَضَىٰ لَهُمۡ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّہُم مِّنۢ بَعۡدِ خَوۡفِهِمۡ أَمۡنً۬ا‌ۚ يَعۡبُدُونَنِى لَا يُشۡرِكُونَ بِى شَيۡـًٔ۬ا‌ۚ وَمَن ڪَفَرَ بَعۡدَ ذَٲلِكَ فَأُوْلَـٰٓٮِٕكَ هُمُ ٱلۡفَـٰسِقُونَ

‘Allaah has promised those among you who believe, and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the earth, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion, that which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islaam). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me.'[24:55]

Allaah (subhaanah) did not say that He has made a promise to those who attribute themselves to the Quraish or the Arabs or those who build castles and excavate petroleum….rather Allaah tied this affair to true Imaan and righteous action-regardless whether they are Arabs or non-Arabs….[Source: Booklet Titled: Your Enemies Are About To Gather Against You: ‘The Causes Of The Weakness Of The Muslims In The Presence Of Their Enemy'(page:29-30)]

The Evil Consequences Of Miserliness

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on May 7, 2014. Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Qur'aan, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Allaah (The Most High) said:

وَمِنۡہُم مَّنۡ عَـٰهَدَ ٱللَّهَ لَٮِٕنۡ ءَاتَٮٰنَا مِن فَضۡلِهِۦ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَلَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلصَّـٰلِحِينَ

فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَٮٰهُم مِّن فَضۡلِهِۦ بَخِلُواْ بِهِۦ وَتَوَلَّواْ وَّهُم مُّعۡرِضُونَ

فَأَعۡقَبَہُمۡ نِفَاقً۬ا فِى قُلُوبِہِمۡ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يَلۡقَوۡنَهُ ۥ بِمَآ أَخۡلَفُواْ ٱللَّهَ مَا وَعَدُوهُ وَبِمَا ڪَانُواْ يَكۡذِبُونَ

”And of them are some who made a covenant with Allah (saying): “If He bestowed on us of His Bounty, we will verily, give Sadaqah (Zakat and voluntary charity in Allah’s Cause) and will be certainly among those who are righteous. Then when He gave them of His Bounty, they became niggardly [refused to pay the Sadaqah (Zakat or voluntary charity)], and turned away, averse. So He punished them by putting hypocrisy into their hearts till the Day whereon they shall meet Him, because they broke that (covenant with Allah) which they had promised Him and because they used to tell lies. [9:75-77]

Imaam Sadi (rahimahullaah) mentioned in his Tafseer that Allaah punished the Munaafiqoon by putting hypocrisy in their hearts; because they made a covenant with Allaah that they will spend in charity if given of Allaah’s Blessings, but they became n*gg*rdly and turned away after they were given of His Blessings.

Therefore, the believer is warned against this evil characteristic of the Munaafiqoon, such that he makes a covenant with his Lord to do such and such, but when he reaches his goal he fails to fulfil that; for indeed, it may be that Allaah will punished him by putting hypocrisy in his heart just as he punished the Munaafiqoon.

Victory for the Ummah–Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on May 7, 2014. Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Methodology - 'Manhaj', Scholars of Islam.

Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-Uthaymeen (rahimahullaah) said:

Indeed, defeat of the Muslims occurred due to one act of disobedience (i.e. during the battle of Uhud). And at present we want victory whilst disobedience is plenty amongst us. And due to this it is not possible for us to rejoice with victory as long as we are upon this state of affairs, unless Allaah shows us kindness and rectify all of us.

Those Who Nickname the Salafis with the terms Madkhaliyyah, Jaamiyyah—Shaikh Rabee Responds

Written by abumuaawiyah on May 6, 2014. Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Deviated Groups, Sects and Parties, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Scholars of Islam.

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

Question:

Our Shaikh-may Allaah protect you.

What do you say about the one who hurl accusations at the Salafiyyoon– in Germany and other countries—with the (term) Madkhaliyyah or Madaakhilah! And that they (i.e. the salafiyoon) divide the Ummah! And that they make a (false) claim to Salafiyyah! And that they do not know except speaking ill of (people), refutation and defamation? May Allaah bless you and may Allaah (The Mighty and Majestic) cure you.

Answer:

الحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، وعلى آله وصحبه ومن اتبع هداه

To proceed:

Indeed, Ahlus Sunnah Wal-Jamaa-ah are solely followers of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam). They follow the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in creed, methodology, politics, and manners and in all affairs of life. They are followers in that (i.e. in these affairs) and they do not innovate. They are upon this ardent standpoint and adhering to the Messenger’s warning against ahlul bidah, and the warning of the Salaf against ahlul bidah. They are adherents of this methodology. The one who opposes them and nicknames them with the terms Jaamiyyah or Madkhaliyyah, then indeed he is misguided; rather he is one who wages war against the Sunnah and the Salafi Methodology.

Therefore, they should fear Allaah in their souls and abandon nicknaming with cruel nicknames. They should fear Allaah and speak a word of truth. [Allaah (The Most High)] said: [يا أيها الذين ءامنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولا سديدا يُصلح لكم أعمالكم ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم ] ”O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins.” [33:70-71]

Do you take revenge against these Salafiyyoon and nickname them with these nicknames only because they hold onto the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allaah (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam)? What is the bidah that the salafiyyoon have in order for them (i.e. the false accusers) to say Madkhaliyyah, Jaamiyyah? What is the bidah the Salafiyyoon have?

We know that Jamaa-ah At-Taleegh, Jamaa-ah Al-Ikhwaan (Muslimeen) and the Qutubiyyeen have bidah and affairs of misguidance in the fundamentals and subsidiary issues of the religion! So we advise them and clarify the truth to them—may Allaah bless you—so the one whom Allaah(Glorified and Exalted Be He) grants Tawfeeq, he returns to correctness and traverses the path of the pious predecessors. And the one whom Allaah (The Blessed and Exalted) forsakes and does not wish good for him, then indeed he does not increase except in transgression and oppression.

وصلى الله على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم

Good companionship with the wife/wives–The Messenger is the best example to follow

Written by abumuaawiyah on May 6, 2014. Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Family & Women.

Aisha (radiyallaahu-anhaa) said: The Messenger of Allaah would give me the cup and drink from it whilst I was on my menses; then I would give it to him and he would search for the place where my lips made contact (with the cup) and he would put his lips on the same place (i.e. he would place his lips on the same place and drink the contents). [1]

Al-Allaamah Abdul-Muhsin Al-Abbaad (may Allaah preserve him) said: This shows the Prophet’s (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) good companionship with his wives and kindness towards them. [2]

Closeness to the wife/wives

Written by abumuaawiyah on May 6, 2014. Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Family & Women, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq'.

Narrated Aisha (radiyallaahu-anhaa): ”The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) used to lean on my lap during my menses and then would recite the Qur’aan.” [1]

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said:

”In this is an (indication) of his (i.e. the Prophet) humbleness and friendly (attitude) towards his family.” [2]

Softening the hearts—‘’Had Allaah’s Messenger not forbidden us to invoke Allaah for death….

Written by abumuaawiyah on May 3, 2014. Posted in Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Narrated Qais: I heard Khabbab, who had branded his abdomen with seven brands, saying, “Had Allah’s Messenger not forbidden us to invoke Allah for death, I would have invoked Allah for death. The companions of Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their reward in it but we have collected of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on earth.” [1]

Concerning the statement of Khabbaab (radiyallaahu-anhu): ”The companions of Muhammad have left this world without taking anything of their reward in it”; Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said: They died upon tremendous good and did not reach the adornments of this worldly life. [2]

And concerning Khabbaab’s (radiyallaahu-anhu) statement:”But we have collected of the worldly wealth what we cannot spend but on earth”; Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said: ”(Spent) on castles and houses.” [3]

Softening the hearts–Warning against competing in worldly pleasures and amusements

Written by enamul97@icloud.com on May 2, 2014. Posted in Brotherhood, Calling To Islam - 'Da'wa', Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', Purification of The Soul, Scholars of Islam, The Salaf - Pious Predecessors.

Narrated Abu Sa’eed (radiyallaahu-anhu): Allah’s Messenger (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: “The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which Allah will bring forth to you.” It was said, “What are the blessings of this world?” The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said, “The pleasures of the world.” A man said, “Can the good bring forth evil?” The Prophet kept quiet for a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from his forehead and said,” Where is the questioner?” That man said, “I (am present).” Abu Sa’id added: We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet said, “Good never brings forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied.” [1]

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz (rahimahullaah) said: The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) clarified that good only brings good. Wealth is not absolute goodness, rather it is a trial. So whoever spends it in its rightful (place), then it is good; and whoever spends it in dubious ways, then it will be bad for him, such as the eater of the khadira (i.e. a kind of vegetation); but it becomes safe and sound when it defecates and urinates.
