Do you see the Companions of the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ), for whom the ʿaqīqah was not performed in the days of Jāhiliyyah, performing ʿaqīqah for themselves in Islām? This is from the rejected (narrations).
Imām MālikDiscussion of the ḥadīth “The Prophet (ﷺ) performed ʿaqīqah for himself after his Prophethood.”
Al-Ṣuyutī said, “another primary text has occurred to me by which the legitimacy of the Mawlid can be derived, namely what is reported by al-Bayḥaqī from Anas that ‘the Prophet (ﷺ) performed ʿaqīqah for himself after his prophethood.’ And it occurs that his grandfather ʿAbd al Muṭṭal…
And you will find the majority of those (who celebrate the birthday) in ardent desire of these sort of innovations – along with what they have of good intention and ijtihād for which reward is hoped for – but you would find them fīble in following the command of the Messenger, which they have been commanded to be eager and vigorous in. Indeed, they are like the one who adorns the Mushaf but does not read what is in it, or reads what is in it but does not follow it. Or like the one who decorates the mosques but does not pray in them, or prays in them rarely.
Ibn Taymīyyah says, “because the ʿ…
It is not permissible to celebrate the birthday of the Apostle (May the blessings and peace of Allāh be upon him), or somebody else. In fact, it must be stopped, as it is an innovation in the religion. The Apostle of Allāh neither celebrated it, nor commanded others to do this for him nor for any one who died before him amongst the prophets, nor for his daughters, his wives, or his other relatives.
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn BāzIndispensable implication of Sunnah and caution against innovation
All praise be to Allāh who completed the religion for us, perfected the blessing…
A profound answer from the Muftī of the Ummah, Shaykh al-Islām ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Bāz (d. AH 1420), concerning the falsehood of celebrating al-Isrāʾ wa-al-Miʿrāj, which occurs during the Islamic month of Rajab.
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn BāzAll praise is for Allāh; and may prayers and peace upon the Messenger of Allāh, his followers and his companions.
There is no doubt that the incident of Israa‘ and Mi’raaj is from amongst the great signs of Allāh, indicates the truthfulness of His Messenger, Muḥammad, and the greatness of his position wit…

The unsuccessful implementation of justice through democracy.
The falsehood of claiming democracy contains some good in light its opposition to the Sunnah and the Salaf.
The Shūrah vs The Democracy (Returning back to the book of Allāh or returning to desires and personal gain).
As for the Muslim who is exposed to the (effects) of this filthy war, he becomes ill in thought and desensitized to this disease. He does not see any danger with the presence of Christians in the lands of the Muslims.
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdullāh ibn Bāz[Q.1]: ‘What, in your opinion, is the definition of al-ghazwat al-fikrī (the ideological attack)?’
[A.1]: “Ideological warfare is a modern term which refers to a set of efforts in which a nation engages in order to conquer or influence another nation, so that (the attacked nation) takes a particular course of direct…
There is no doubt that tasfiyah and tarbiyah requires an organization. And I do know of anyone who rejects the use of the word ‘organization’, but what is rejected, and I am the first to do so, is an organization which is not built upon these principles – tasfiyah and tarbiyah.
Shaykh Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-AlbānīA number of ideologies which are not pure and correct are in circulation amongst the Muslims today, and so there are many sects which spread the ideas of the Mu’tazila, Khawārij, Shee’a, and others. So it is necessary that the scholars establish the obligation of purifying these i…
