In this lecture is a beautiful piece of advice in which the Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn reminds the Muslimīn that they need to unite upon one manhaj (methodology) and to hold on tightly to the rope of Allāh just as the companions of the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) were united upon one manhaj and their belief was one.
The Shaykh emphasizes the importance of accepting the truth and likewise rejecting falsehood no matter who it comes from. The Shaykh then goes on to mention that one should adorn himself/herself with the best of …
Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn – raḥimahullāh – mentioned:1 The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) explained clearly to the people – completely and clearly – what their Lord had revealed for them; both the detailed matters and the important ones., the apparent matters and the hidden ones, to such an extent that he (ﷺ) taught them what they needed to know with respect to matters of eating, drinking, marriage, clothing and housing. So he taught them the etiquette of eating, drinking and relieving one’s self; the etiquette of marriage; the etiquette of clothing and of entering and leaving the hous…

al-ʿAllāmah ʿUbayd Ibn ʿAbdullāh al-Jābirī is the eldest of al-Kibārul-ʿUlamāʾ (the major scholars) of this Ummah. In this beneficial phone lecture on the topic of al-Uṣūl ud-Dīn (The Foundations of the Religion) he admonishes the attendees on the topics of Tawḥīd and Kufr, Waajibaat (obligations) and Ḥarām (unlawful), Kufr al-Akbar (the major disbelief) and Kufr al-Asgher (the minor disbelief).
From the Lecture:
“From the foundations of the religion is to submit to Allāh with tawḥīd and to comply with obedience to Allāh and to be free from the people of Shirk (polytheism).”
“It is founde…
States al-ʿAllāmah ʿUbayd al-Jābirī, “A lecture concerning the ʿaṣl (foundation) of the religion and that is two affairs… Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahaab (raḥimahullāh) stated in his risaʿalát, ‘The origin of the dīn and its foundation are two affairs; the daʿwah, the call to the worship of Allāh alone, to encourage that, to make allegiance to that and to make takfīr of the one who leaves that. And it is to leave shirk and to be harsh against that and to have animosity against the one who is upon that and to make takfīr of the one who does that.’”
“Indeed we have sent Our Messengers w…
[Tawḥīd] is to single Him out with worship, with love, lowliness and submissiveness to Him, by complying with His commands and submitting to them.
Ibn Abīl-’Izz (d.792H) – rahimahAllāh – said, “Knowledge of Uṣūlud-Dīn (the fundamentals of the Religion) is the most noble branch of knowledge since the excellence of a certain type of knowledge depends upon what it is concerned with, and this is the greater Fiqh (understanding), which is why Imām Abū Ḥanīfah (d.150H) – raḥmatullāhi ʿalayhi – called that which he compiled concerning Uṣūlud-Dīn: “al-Fiqhul-Akbar.” (the Greatest Fiqh). The need o…
Unfortunately, many of the duʿāt (callers to Islām) are themselves unaware of (basic matters such as) what are the conditions for Prayer, or unaware of the rules and regulations concerning wuḍūʾ (ablution) and those matters which invalidate wuḍūʾ.
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān
[Q]: There are some people here, who keep away from (attending) lessons on ʿaqīdah (creed/beliefs), and they say: ‘We are Muslims, we are not unbelievers or idol-worshippers such that we have to learn ʿaqīdah or attend lectures about it.’ So, O noble Shaykh, what is your view regarding this!
[A]: Teaching the Musl…
So the beginnings of Shirk lay in the excessive praise and respect given to certain dead pious Muslims, who – due to peoples’ love for them – became idols that were worshipped and supplicated along with Allāh. So what needs to be understood is why people felt that they had to worship these righteous people along with worshipping Allāh.
Man’s Fitrah (Natural Disposition)
What is essential to know is that: “Allāh created the creation in order that they should worship Him. Furthermore, Allāh prepared for them – from His Provision – all that they would require. About this Allāh – the Most High…
