A General Overview of the Ashʿarī Creed
We do not speak with Ta’weel (interpretation) of the Muʿtazilah, the Ashʾarīs, the Jahmiyyah, the apostates, the anthropomorphists (Mujassimah and Mushabbihah), the Karrāmiyyah and those who declare Allāh to be like His creation (Mukayyifah – those asking about the modality of His attributes). Rather we accept them [the texts about Allāh’s attributes] without interpretation (Ta’weel) and we believe in them without declaring any likeness with the creation (Tamthīl).
Ashʿariyyah: An astray sect that claims to follow Abū al-Ḥasan al-Ashʿarī, they deny all of Allāh’s Attributes except seven…

Advice to Al-Jamāʿat al-Tablīgh

Shaykh Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī”Praise be to Allāh. Salams and Salat on the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ”
Q: Where do the Jamaa’at-Tableegh go wrong? What is the remedy for their situation?
A: The remedy is Knowledge, as we have always advised them. Instead of going out for this “Khurooj”, which has no basis in the Sunnah, whereas they make it a Sunnah to be followed. Rather they should sit in the Mo…

Was Ibn Sīnā from amongst the Scholars of Islām?
I am not aware of him having narrated anything from the Islamic sciences, and even if he did, it would not be permissible to narrate from him because he is a perverted, deviant, philosopher.

Reciting Verses Relative to the Khuṭbah Topic During Ṣalāt al-Jumuʿah Instead of Those Recited by the Messenger (ﷺ)
May Allāh treat you well, O Eminent Father; a questioner asks:
[Q]: What is the ruling on the one who delivers the Friday sermon reciting within the prayer, verses which appropriately fit the topic of the sermon and taking this as his regular practice in every Khuṭbah?
[A]: Do you mean that he recites thus in the Ṣalātul-Jumuʿah or at the end of the Khuṭbah? If what is meant is that he recites this in the Ṣalātul-Jumuʿah, then this has not been legislated nor has it been narrated (from the Prophet) (صلى الله عليه وسلم). That which has been narrated is that he should recite:

Differences Between the Daʿwah of the Salafiyyīn and the Deviant Sects
A lecture mentioning several points of clarity with regards to the daʿwah of ahl al-sunnah and the daʿwah of those who oppose the sunnah. This beneficial sitting outlines the definitive matters which differentiate ahl al-sunnah and ahl al-bidʿah.
Our noble brother, Abū ʿAbdullāh Ḥasan al-Ṣumālī introduces the topic by illustrating the way of the Imāms of the salaf with regards to clarifying the belief of ahl al-sunnah vs. ahl-bidʿah. A crushing blow to the mumayyi’een who claim that refutation is fitnah,
‘The differentiation of ahl-bidʿah and ahl al-sunnah is something that the ‘ulamāʾ hav…

This is Our Daʿwah
The Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, “Near the establishment of the Hour, there will be the days of al-Harj, and the religious knowledge will be taken away (vanish i.e. by the death of Religious scholars) and general ignorance will spread.” Abū Mūsá said, “al-Harj, in the Ethiopian language, means killing,” Ibn Masʿūd added: I heard Allāh’s Apostle saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who will be living at the time when the Hour will be established.” [1]
Explains the muhaddith of his time, Imām Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī (raḥimahullāh), “This does not me…

Signs of Allāh’s Love for His Creation
In regards to the matter of maḥabbah, Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (d. 751H) is quoted in refutation and sharp contrast between the ʿaqīdah of Ahl al-Sunnah in opposition to the Jahmiyyah.1
Stated Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in Madārij al-Sālikīn, ‘Allāh’s loving his beloved servant, his Prophets and Messengers, this muhabbah is an attribute of His. It is something additional to His Mercy, His treating them nobly and to His giving to them. All of these things are the effect and result of Allāh’s Love. So, because Allāh loves these people, then He grants them…
