Qualities the Caller to Allāh Must Have

Say: This is my path, I call unto Allāh upon clear evidence (baṣīrah), I and those who follow me. And how free is Allāh from all imperfection, and I am not from amongst the polytheists. Al-ʿAllāmah Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyá al-NajmīAllāh the Exalted said, “Say: This is my path, I call unto Allāh upon clear evidence (baṣīrah), I and those who follow me.  And how free is Allāh from all imperfection and I am not from amongst the polytheists.” [Sūrah Yūsuf 12:108] So whomsoever traverses this manhaj, then he is from amongst the successors of the Messengers (ṣalāwāt Allāhī wa salāmuhu ʿal…

The Obligation of the Call and the Duty of the Caller

As for the saying of some of the people that it is permissible to become duʿāʾt (callers) without having knowledge, then if they mean a dāʿī without a huge amount of knowledge, able to give fatāwá (religious verdicts), explain and deduce issues from their proofs – then it is possible to accept this saying. Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn[Q.1]: Is daʿwah (calling) to Allāh obligatory upon every Muslim man or woman, or is it to be left for the Scholars and the students of knowledge only?  Is it permissible for the layperson to call to Allāh? [A.1]: When a person has knowle…

The World of Jinn (Spirits)

Throughout history man has always had a deep attraction for the supernatural and the unseen. The existence of a world parallel to our own has always fascinated people. This world is commonly referred to as the spirit world, and almost every set of people have some concept of one. With some people, these spirits are no more then the souls of dead people- or ghosts. With others, spirits are either the forces of good or the forces of evil – both battling against one another to gain influence over humanity. However, both of these explanations are more in tune with folk tales and fantasy. The tr…

The Actions of the Disbeliever

And whosoever seeks a religion other than Islām it will never be accepted of Him and in the Hereafter he will be of the losers. Sūrah Āli ʿImrān, 3:85Instead of directly answering your points I will instead insha`Allāh make a number of general points here in which the points you raise will be answered by the permission of Allāh. 1. The Disbelievers are in Hell Forever “Those who disbelieve and die as disbelievers, on them is the Curse of Allāh, the curse of the Angels and all of mankind. They will abide therein and their penalty will never be lightened nor will they be given respite.” [2:…

Maintaining the Characteristics of Fiṭrah

Muslims who do these acts with the sole intention of following the Sunnah of God’s Messenger, may God bless him and give him peace, will be rewarded by God Most High Since Almighty God made all human beings swear to His Unique Divinity and Lordship when He created Ādam (see Holy Qurʾān 7:172), this oath is printed on the human soul even before it enters the mother’s fetus. So when a child is born, it has with it a natural belief in God. This natural belief is called in al-ʿArabīc the “fiṭrah”. If a child were left alone, it would grow up aware of Almighty God in His Unity, but all children…

Racism: Is There a Solution?

O mankind, We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another. Indeed the most honourable of you in the sight of Allāh is the one with the most piety” Surāh al-Hujjarāt, 49:13Nigger, Paki, Gollywog, Chink, Honkey, Sand-Nigger 1… The list of remarks which signify racism in our world is endless. But to many people in the West, racism no longer exists. Many believe that our ‘free'(?) world has eraḍīcated this problem. The rights of homosexuals and animals are given higher priority, and people believe that the real oppre…

The Invalidators of Islām

So the scholars (raḥimahumullāh) have mentioned in judgement upon the apostate that the Muslim apostates from his Religion due to many types of invalidators that make his blood and his wealth permissible and by that he leaves Islām Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn BāzKnow – O Muslim brother – that Allāh has obligated upon all of the servants to enter into Islām and to hold fast to it and to warn against whatever opposes it. So Allāh sent His Prophet Muḥammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) to call to that, and He, the Mighty and Majestic, informed that whoever followed him was in…
