Said the Imām of Yemen, the Destroyer of Innovation, Abū ʿAbd al-Raḥmān Muqbil Ibn Hādī al-Wādiʿī (d.1422 AH) – raḥimahullāh:
“So indeed I reviewed the treatise of our noble brother, Abī Ibrāhīm Muḥammad Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Waṣṣābī called, al-Qawl al-Mufīd fī Adillah al-Tawḥīd. And after reviewing it, I praised Allāh the Glorified for finding someone from amongst our Yemeni Scholars, one who would carry out what Allāh had obligated upon him with respect to spreading Tawḥīd in our Yemeni society…” al-Qawlul-Mufeed (p. 13). And Shaykh Muqbil said about the author of this book…
Muḥammad: is a passive participle, whosoever is praised, possessing many praiseworthy qualities then he is Muḥammad. The Prophet Muḥammad (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) is praised more than any other person, and this is why – and Allāh knows best – he was called by this name in the Torah, due to the many praiseworthy qualities which he, his religion, and his nation possess such that even Moses wished that he would be from them.
Know that the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) has been called by many names and titles in the Qurʾān and Sunnah, each one of them descriibng a special quality…
Celebrating the Mawlid has no basis in the Book or the Sunnah, nor is this action recorded from any of the scholars of this Ummah; those who are taken as Imāms to be followed and who adhere to the narrations. Rather it is an innovation which was introduced by the Baṭālūn sect
The Year of His Noble Birth
According to the most correct opinion of the scholars, the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) was born in the city of Makkah in the Year of the Elephant (in the year 570 or 571 CE), in the month of Rabīʿ‘ul Awwal. 1
The Day of his Noble Birth
There is an agreement amongst the scholar…
Shaykh ʿAbd-al-Salām ibn Burjiss (raḥimahullāh) based the talk on the issue of Tawḥīd and the importance of a Muslim knowing Tawḥīd and the issues surrounding this issue of Tawḥīd. He went on to say that the Muslim becomes aware of the importance of Tawḥīd when he realises that Allāh has sent all of His Messengers and His Books and He caused them to make Jihād for this issue of Tawḥīd. There is not a Prophet, except that that Prophet came to his people and the very first statement that he said to his people was:
I left Baghdād, and I did not leave behind me a man better, having more knowledge, or greater Fiqh (understanding), nor having greater taqwá (piety) than Aḥmad Ibn Ḥanbal.
Imām Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal
The Text:
Shaykh Abū ʿAbdullāh Yahyá Ibn Abīl-Ḥasan Ibn al-Banná narrated to us saying: My father Abū ʿAlī al-Ḥasan Ibn ʿUmar Ibn al-Banná related to us saying: Abū al-Husayn ʿAlī Ibn Muḥammad Ibn ʿAbdullāh Ibn Bushrān al-Mu’addil related to us, saying: ’Uthmān Ibn Aḥmad Ibn as-Sammaak reported to us, saying: Abū Muḥammad al-Ḥasan Ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb, Abū al-Nabr narrated to us, reading it to him from…
So this book called al-Uṣūl al-Thalāthah is from the best books of ʿaqīdah (creed) for the seeker of knowledge who is at the beginners level, or at an intermediate level. That means that no one from amongst the students of knowledge is without need of it for the explanation of the correct ʿaqīdah and whatever opposes it. Rather, no one from amongst the Muslims under obligation is free of need from it. So it is built to be memorised and have its meaning understood, and it is also befitting of being taught by the teachers and Scholars, not to mention that the issue of ʿaqīdah discussed h…
The Noble Scholar speaks about various aspects of manners and proper Islamic etiquette. This lecture is timely, considering the fact that many of those calling to the Religion of Allāh are accused of having crude manners and being harsh-hearted.
