In advice given to the brothers in America via Paltalk, our noble Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī mentions that, indeed Allāh has sent the Messenger, Muḥammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam), to mankind in order to remove the people from darkness and enter them into light, and He sent him with the truth in order to overcome all other religions even though the disbelievers may hate it.
Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿāla) sent the Messenger (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) with a Book, the likes of which mankind had never known before; perfect in its rulings, and perfect in its encompassing of good and…
Fix your attention to both fiqh and ḥadīth. Neglect one or the other and you will fall short in the end.
Sharḥ Shurūṭ al-Ṣalāh, Lesson I[1] The student should devote himself with great assiduity to the study of fiqh and adillah (proofs).
[2] When the servant attains fiqh in the matters of the religion, it is a sign that Allāh wants good for him. In a ḥadīth transmitted by Muʿāwiyyah ibn Abī Sufyān, the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said:
مَن يُرِد الله بهِ خيرًا يُفَقِّهه في الدِّين
“Whoever Allah wants good for, He grants him understanding of the religion.”1

Our noble brother explains the seven conditions of the shahādah along with its proofs drawing upon evidence from the Qurʾān, Sunnah and scholars of our Ummah.
The seven conditions are:
1. al-ʿilm (knowledge)
2. yaqīn (certainty)
3. al-qubūl (acceptance)
4. al-inqiyād (submission)
5. sidq (truthfulness)
6. iklhās (sincerity)
7. maḥabbah (love)
Each person who utters the shahādah must know and accept these conditions; it is not just a statement to be said without knowing its true meaning. The statement has requirements and conditions and if they are not fulfilled, they will be of no b…
Every Muslim should be cautious against being deluded by the majority and reasoning by saying, “Everyone does this and that, and everyone practices this and that (act), so I am with them”. This is a great calamity which destroyed many people of old.
So, O intelligent one, upon you is to look to your own self and hold yourself accountable.
Imām ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn BāzUpon you is to hold fast to the truth even if the people abandon it. Upon you is to be cautious against that which Allāh has prohibited even if the people engage in it; for indeed, the truth is more deserving of adh…
After a highly beneficial series of lectures, our brothers, Abū Khaījah and Abū ʿIyyāḍ entertain questions from the attendees.
[Q1]: We see the Salafī daʿwah strong and united from the east to the west. There are countless Salafī centres throughout the Western lands. What do you advise those who wish to host events in centres that promote Yasir Qadhi, Bashir Shill and others who wage war against the Salafīs?
[Q2]: The internet has changed rapidly in recent years. With the emergence of social media, people experience information overload. Salafīs are online and they face the same challen…
Al-ʿAllāmah Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn notes: The author (Imām al-Nawawī, may Allāh have mercy upon him) titles [his chapter]: The Chapter of Urging Towards Increasing in Good Deeds in the Latter Part of one’s Life.
Know that the latter part of one’s life is crucial, as the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) mentioned: Verily one of you performs the actions of the people of Paradise until there is only an arm’s length between him and it, and that which has been written overtakes him, so he acts with the actions of the people of the Hellfire and therefore enters it. And verily one of you performs th…

On the Authority of ʿĀʾishah (رضي الله عنه) that some women from Ḥoms sought permission to enter upon her, and she replied: “Perhaps you are from those who enter the bathhouses. I heard the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه وسلم) say: ‘Any woman who removes her clothes in other than her husband’s house has torn the screen between her and Allāh'”. [Graded ṣaḥīḥ by al-Albānī in his ṣaḥīḥ of sunan ibn Mājah.]
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn comments: “If this Ḥadīth is authentic — that any woman who removes her clothes in other than her husband’s house has torn the screen—then it means t…
