All praise is due to Allāh, and Ṣalāt and salām upon our Prophet Muḥammad, his family, and his companions.
My view with regards to the Muslim Brotherhood is that they are partisans (ḥizbiyyūn) who covet the attainment of rulership; and that they do not give concern to calling to the correcting of the creed (ʿaqīdah).
And they do not distinguish between their followers, between the Sunni (person upon the Sunnah) and the Bidʿī (person upon innovation).
As for the speech [found] in an audio recording that has come from me, then it is a slip of the tongue and does not change my stance concerni…
وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا وَكُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِّنَ النَّارِ فَأَنقَذَكُم مِّنْهَا ۗ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ آيَاتِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ
And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allāh (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves; and remember with gratitude Allāh’s favour on you; for ye were enemies and He joined your hearts in love, so that by His Grace, ye became bret…
The introductory lecture in the London, Ontario series, “A Day of Islamic Knowledge” (April 2012). The speaker (Abū Ḥakīm) discusses the all-important topic of Tawḥīd, the message carried by all the Prophets and Messengers. Abū Ḥakīm mentions various ayāt from the Noble Qurʾān expounding upon this mighty topic. The lecture was carefully chosen due to the negligence and belittlement of this life-long research topic at the hands of many speakers and thinkers today, who have relegated it to libraries instead of the pulpits, choosing instead to pursue political topics. It is hoped that by unde…
[Q]: Some women give preference to the societal norms of Europe or the West in general; or in the un-Islamic lands, saying: “Plural marriage is unlawful.” While we have a legislative ruling permitting polygamy. What is the ruling on leveling this (type of) charge against Islām.
[A]: Whoever hates plural marriage or claims that not having plural marriage is better, then he is a kāfir and an apostate from Islām. This is because he, and we seek refuge with Allāh, is a rejecter of the ruling of Allāh and hates that which Allāh has legislated. Allāh, Glorified be He, says:
ذَلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ك…
In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
In Sūrah al-Naḥl, Allāh says, the meaning of which is:
ثُمَّ أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ أَنِ اتَّبِعْ مِلَّةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا ۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ﴿١٢٣﴾
“Then, We have sent the revelation to you: ‘Follow the religion of Ibrāhīm Ḥanīfā and he was not of the Mushrikīn.'”
[Sūrah al-Naḥl, 16:123]
Allāh mentions Ḥanīf in His Book many times. In addition to that, in the aforementioned verse, Allāh commands us to follow the religion of Ibrāhīm Ḥanīfā. What does Ḥanīf mean, both linguistically and in All…
Sūrah al-Fātiḥah is the opening chapter of the Book of Allāh. We have been ordered in Allāh’s Legislation to recite this sūrah in every rakʿah of ṣalāh we pray. Due to the significance of this sūrah in our lives, it is upon every Muslim to know the explanation of this illustrious sūrah. In a three-part series conducted last Ramaḍān (2011), our beloved teacher, Abū al-ʿAbbās Mūsá Richardson went through the explanation of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah, based on the works of al-Shaykh, al-‘Allāmah, Muḥammad ibn Ṣāliḥ al-ʿUthaymīn, raḥimahullāh. Listen, may Allāh have mercy upon you, so you can learn the…
During his summer visit in 1431H (2010), our beloved teacher, Abū al-ʿAbbās delivered an impactful khuṭbah on the Day of Jumuʿah. In this khuṭbah, he stressed the great importance of being different from the disbelievers. Our Lord, Allāh, subḥānahu wa taʿālá, has blessed the Muslims and raised them above all other nations. He has made us distinct from the disbelievers. Allāh says in Sūrah al-Munāfiqūn, the meaning of which is, “But honour, power, and glory (al-‘Izzah) belong to Allāh, and to His Messenger, and to the believers,” There is no honour nor glory with the disbelievers. Therefore…
On 24 Rabīʿ 1433, corresponding to Thursday 16th February 2012, Allāh blessed us to visit Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī al-Madhkhali. I prayed the Maghrib prayer with the Shaykh along with other brothers, mainly from North Africa. Some of the students, I recognized, were studying at the Islamic University of Madinah or the Prophet’s mosque (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam). The shaykh said, come to the house so we all entered his house. We sat down and waited for him to come from the other door. When he came, he gave salām and asked how was Shaykh ʿʿUbayd al-Jābiri? I said that alhamdulilāh he was well…
How amazing is this! These people for whom Allāh has attested to as having faith, they (the Rāfiḍah) attest to them as having hypocrisy! Allāh gives them glad tidings of Paradise yet these people say that they are in the Fire.
Shaykh ʿAli al-ḤaddādīIn the book of Saleem ibn Qays1 regarding ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib he said: “Indeed all of the people (the companions) became apostates after Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ except four. Indeed, the people came to be, after Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ, of the status of Hārūn and those who followed him; and of the status of the calf (which they took in worship) and th…
