Overview:
Shaykh Rabīʿ (may Allāh preserve him) explains the false understanding some Muslims have concerning the meaning of the shahādah and makes clear how it (this misunderstanding) entered in al-Islām. Due to this ignorance, the Shaykh explains the different ways Muslims commit shirk (polytheism) whilst they do not deem it to be polytheism. Actions such as slaughtering for other than Allāh or calling unto other than Allāh are shirk. The Shaykh furthers explains the ideological attack to remove the meaning of the shahādah from the minds and the hearts of the people. From those who…

O Muslims! Fear Allāh and hold onto this religion by way of which happiness, serenity and success is achieved. Know that this is not achievable unless one clings to the Book of Allāh, the Sunnah of His Messenger (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) upon the understanding of his noble Companions (raḍi Allāhu ʿʿʿanhum ajmaʿīn). Whilst holding firmly, one should be aware of the plots made by the enemies of al-Islām against this blessed dīn seeking to destroy the dīn from within, in the name of the dīn. How do they seek to destroy the dīn from within? By introducing affairs into this religion whic…
O mankind!! Fear Allāh and stay away from that which he has prohibited and obey him in that which he has commanded and legislated by way of His Book, and conveyed through his Messenger Muḥammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) and upon the understanding of the Salaf. Indeed we seek to remind the brothers and sisters, as Allāh says in His Book,
وَذَكِّرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰ تَنفَعُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ
“And remind for verily, the reminding profits the believers.”
[Sūrah al-Dhāriyāt: 55]
We seek to give a reminder about the endless bounties that Allāh has bestowed upon us, the greatest of which…
The noble Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (ḥafiẓahullāh) explains that Allāh has elevated the rank of those scholars who strive upon the correct path. Allāh (subḥānahu wa taʿāla) gives examples of the virtue of the one who possesses knowledge in His Noble Book,
قُلۡ هَلۡ يَسۡتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعۡلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَۗ إِنَّمَا يَتَذَكَّرُ أُوْلُواْ ٱلۡأَلۡبَـٰبِ
Say: “Are those who know equal to those who know not?” It is only men of understanding who will remember.
[Sūrah al-Zumar 39: 9]
And also,
يَرۡفَعِ ٱللَّهُ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمۡ وَٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡعِلۡمَ دَرَ…
Abū ʿĀliyah said: Learn Islām, and once you have learned then act. Do not look to your right or to your left, and beware of innovations, for verily innovations cause enmity between your hearts.
Abū Khadījah mentions narration after narration that explain the Sunnah, warn from innovations, and call to sticking to the scholars that are well known to be from Ahl al-Sunnah wa-al-Jamāʿah, and to stay away from those who are not known to be from them.
The Salafῑs are one Jamāʿah, the Jamāʿah of the Companions, which we adhere to, and within this there are no factions, and no parties. Our sch…
Calling to Allāh is not reached except through beneficial knowledge, righteous action, deep understanding and careful following of the way of the Prophets. An explanation regarding important points in the methodology of the Prophets in their call to Allāh.
The following phone call took place in 2003 between TROID and al-ʿAllāmah Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyá al-Najmī (rahimahullāh). The sitting illustrated the strong will of the Salafīs in Toronto to connect with the scholars and the clear separation desired by Bashir Shiil, a takfīrī ḥizbī who has disdain for the Scholars of Islām, rather he wished to replace the body of scholarship with him and his like. Khālid ibn Walid Mosque went on a rampage at the time, desperately trying to confuse and disconnect the Ṣumālī youth in the city from the Salafī manhaj, they attempted this by defaming TROID and lying…
If one were to travel to China in search of it [i.e. this treatise] the journey would be considered insignificant.
Abū Yaʿlá al-Ḥanbalī
I heard Abū ʿAbdillāh Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal saying: The fundamental principles of the Sunnah with us are: Holding fast to what the companions of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) were upon. Taking them [and their way] as a model to be followed. The abandonment of innovations, and every innovation is misguidance. The abandonment of controversies. The abandonment of sitting with the people of Ahwāʾ (desires). And the abandonment of quarreling, argumentation and co…
