A Takfiri is a person who pronounces other people as infidels; therefore, if you make takfir on a fake
Muslim, you are a takfiri.
Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab put together 10 things that nullify your Islam. One of them is to
refuse to make takfir on a kaafir.
The third nullifier of Islam: He commits Kufr whoever does not apply the Kufr principle upon
polytheists, or whoever doubts that polytheists are infidels, or whoever corrects the polytheists'
path.
One of the nullifiers of Islam is when a Muslim refuses to call a kaafir a kaafir.
Therefore refusing to call a kaafir a kaafir, turns you into a kaafir as well because when you refuse to
takfir the kaafir you are indirectly supporting his false aqeeda and putting a stamp of approval on it.
There is a lie floating around that forces people into believing that only a scholar who is firmly grounded in
knowledge is allowed to make takfir.
This is a lie marketed by the wicked scholars because they are afraid that the Ummah will make takfir on
their kaafir paymasters
The Ummah has no choice but to differentiate the Muslims from the kuffaar because Allah said:
Shall We then treat the (submitting) Muslims like the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists and
disbelievers, etc.)? What is the matter with you? How judge you? (Al-Qalam 68:35-36)
In order to do so, he must be able to know in his heart, that the kaafir has a false aqeeda that does not
agree with Islam.
If a Muslim sees a man wearing a cross around his neck he can make takfir on him because to wear a
cross is a Christian concept. Therefore, you don’t have to be an Islamic scholar to make takfir on those
who wear the cross.
Likewise, if a Muslim hears a man saying the Quran got it wrong because Jesus was crucified, he is
allowed to make takfir on this person. He doesn't have to be a scholar to know that a person who
contradicts the Quran is a kaafir.
The scholars of Islam have collected many reasons establishing the importance of takfir
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows
best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not back to the
disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent [as
their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to
them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which
you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have
spent. That is the Judgement of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:10)
This is a problem that is rife in todays Muslim communities because of the lack of knowledge in tauheed
Allah SWT commanded us to marry the Muslim women to Muslim men and to never send them back to
their disbelieving husbands
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "Two
deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula." [Muwatta Malik (2/63) No. 1862 and Bayhaqi in
'Sunan al-Kubra' (9/350) No. 18751]
Muslim women can make hijra on their own [without a mahram] because of the Ayah below:
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows
best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not back to the
disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent [as
their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to
them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which
you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have
spent. That is the Judgement of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:10)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "Two
deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula." [Muwatta Malik (2/63) No. 1862 and Bayhaqi in
'Sunan al-Kubra' (9/350) No. 18751]
On the authority of Jabir bin ‘Abdullah: "Umar bin Al-Khattab informed me that he heard the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) say: "I will expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian
Peninsula, and I will not leave anyone in it except a Muslim." [Sahih Muslim (3/1388) No. 1767,
Sunan Tirmidhi (4/156) No. 1607, Sunan Abu Dawud (3/165) No. 3030, Musnad Ahmad (1/32) No.

Today the apostate leaders in the Arabian Peninsula are sanctioning and promoting the building of Hindu
and Christian pagan temples. By doing so, they have betrayed the blood of the sahabas who died in
battles to cleanse the Arabian Peninsula of kufr, shirk and zandaqa.
REASON # 3 - KAAFIR ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE STRATEGIC SECRETS OF
THE ISLAMIC STATE
O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends,
etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail
to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared
from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you
the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand. (Aali Imran 3:118)
Amr ibn Shuayb reported from his father from his grandfather that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said,
‘A Muslim may not be killed for an infidel.’ It is also reported through the same sanad that the
diyat of a disbeliever is half that of a Believer. [Tirmidhi 1418, Nisai 4821, Sunan Ibn Majah (3/671)
No. 2659, Musnad Ahmad (2/178) No. 6662, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/173) No. 4506]
Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim (Abraham) and those with him,
when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides
Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for
ever, until you believe in Allah Alone," (Al-Mumtahinah 60:4)
Nabi Ibrahim a.s. practiced Al Wala Wal Bara with his own father
You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making
friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW ), even though they
were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has
written Faith in their hearts. (Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
إﻻ اٴن ﺗروا ﻛﻔرا ﺑواﺣﺎOn the authority of Ubada bin As-Samit the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
“...topple the leader if you see clear kufr...” [al-Bukhari (7056) and Muslim (1709)]
O you who believe! When you go (to fight) in the Cause of Allah, verify (the truth), and say not to
anyone who greets you (by embracing Islam) : "You are not a believer"; seeking the perishable
goods of the worldly life. There are much more profits and booties with Allah. Even as he is now,
so were you yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to Islam),
therefore, be cautious in discrimination. Allah is Ever WellAware of what you do. (An-Nisa 4:94)
It is the ultimate disaster to kill your Muslim brother
And never (O Muhammad SAW) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor
stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they
were Fasiqun (rebellious, - disobedient to Allah and His Messenger SAW). (At-Tawbah 9:84)
Ali's father died and the Prophet (saw) told him to bury his father who was a kaafir.
The scholars of Islam say the only time you can go to a janaza of a kaafir is if they are your parent and
were not against Islam.
If you bury a Muslim in a kaafir graveyard, the sin will be on the entire Muslim community
ALLAH IS A TAKFIRI
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take
Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say) : "We worship them only that they may bring us
near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly,
Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
In the above Ayah, Allah SWT called the people who pray to mediums, liars and kaafirs.
In the Ayah below, Allah said those in the grave can’t grant us our request:
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they
could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your
worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the All Knower
(of each and everything)[]. (Fatir 35:14)
Allah SWT has declared that praying to the mediums is equal to worshipping the mediums
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam
(Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and
your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden
Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers)
there are no helpers. Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a
Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -
Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the
disbelievers among them. (Al-Ma'idah 5:72-73)
Not only did Allah make takfir on the People of the Book, but He declared them as the worst of created
creatures.
Indeed, they who disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will be in the
fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the worst of creatures. (Al-Baiyinah 98:6) Sahih
International
The Prophet Muhammad (saw) himself made takfir on the people of the book who die after hearing about
him without entering the fold of Islam
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (RA) that the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said: “By the One in
Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among this nation, Jew or Christian, hears of me
then dies not believing in that with which I was sent, but he will be one of the people of the Fire.”
Narrated by Muslim, 153
Jundub (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The hadd (prescribed punishment)
for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e., execution)" [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/60) No.
1460, Sunan al-Daraqutni (4/120) No. 3204, Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/401) No. 8073, al-Sunan al-
Kabir al-Bayhaqi (8/234) No. 16500, al-Mu'jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (2/161) No. 1665]
EXAMPLE # 3 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON PEOPLE WHO DABBLE IN BLACK MAGIC
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of Sulaiman
(Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic
and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of
these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so
disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these (angels) people learn that by
which they cause separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone
except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed
they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed
was that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
The Scholars use the above Ayah to make takfir on the people who practice black magic
Jundub (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The hadd (prescribed punishment)
for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e., execution)" [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/60) No.
1460, Sunan al-Daraqutni (4/120) No. 3204, Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/401) No. 8073, al-Sunan al-
Kabir al-Bayhaqi (8/234) No. 16500, al-Mu'jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (2/161) No. 1665]
Black magic is practiced all over the Muslim world today because the wicked scholars do not teach
tauheed.
The punishment prescribed for the magician is one strike of the sword and he is buried in the graveyard
of the kuffaar
EXAMPLE # 4 - ALLAH MADE TAKFIR ON PEOPLE WHO SLAUGHTER ANIMALS IN THE NAME OF
FALSE DEITIES
Imam Nawawi said that slaughtering animals in the name of false deities is a major shirk due to the Ayah
below:
Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah's Name has not been pronounced (at the time of
the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allah). And certainly,
the Shayatin (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey
them [by making AlMaytatah (a dead animal) legal by eating it], then you would indeed be
Mushrikun (polytheists) [because they (devils and their friends) made lawful to you to eat that
which Allah has made unlawful to eat and you obeyed them by considering it lawful to eat, and by
doing so you worshipped them, and to worship others besides Allah is polytheism]. (Al-An'am
6:121)
There is nothing wrong in making takfir, what is wrong is being a khawaarij, because khawaarij make
takfir on people who don't deserve it
EXAMPLE # 5 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON THOSE WHO DISLODGE THE SHARIA
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the
disbelievers. (Al-Ma'idah 5:44) [Sahih International]
Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: “And it is known from the religion (of Islam) by necessity and by the
consensus of all Muslims that whoever legalizes to follow other than the religion of Islam or a
Shariah other than the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW), he is a Kaafir.
And his kufr is similar to that of the one who believes in some part of the book (Quran) and reject
some of it.” [Majmua al-Fataawa (28/524)]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H): “Whenever a person makes halal what is haraam by
consensus or makes haraam what is halal by consensus or replaces the Sharee’ah that is agreed
upon by consensus, then he is a Kaffir by the agreement of the scholars of Fiqh.” – “Al-Fataawa”,
Vol. 3/267
Ibn Katheer (rh) said: “Thus, it has become in his sons a followed law to which they have been
giving precedence over ruling by the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (SAW).
Whoever does this is a Kaafir who must be fought until he returns to the rule of Allah and His
Messenger. So no one other than He should rule neither minorly or majorly." [Tafseer Ibn Katheer
(3/131)]
While 'Allama al-Shinqiti-May Allah be merciful with him-has said: To commit shirk with Allah in
judging is of the same meaning as to commit shirk in His worship, there is no difference between
the two in any manner. There is no difference in any sense between he who follows a system
(nizam) other than Allah's system or law other than Allah's law (sharia) and he who worships an
idol or prostrates to a false god. They are the same and both are polytheists [associating others]
with Allah. [Adwa' al-Bayan, (7/162)]
Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen said: "The first type is when the Hukm of Allah is
removed and replaced with another Taghuutee Hukm, so that the Hukm of the Shari'ah is
eliminated between the people and he puts in its place another Hukm from the fabrication of the
humans and they remove the laws of the Shari'ah concerning the Mu'amalah (i. e. the general
actions between people) and they put in its place fabricated laws and this, without doubt, is
Istib'daal (i. e. replacement) of the Shari'ah of Allah subhaanahuu wa-ta'ala, with other than it. And
this is Kufr which removes one from the Milla because this person put himself at the level of the
Creator because he shara'a (legislated) for the slaves of Allah that which Allah ta'ala did not give
permission for and that is Shirk in His, ta'ala's saying: "Or have they partners with Allâh (false
gods), who have instituted for them a religion, which Allâh has not allowed?" (Ash-Shu'ara, 21) –
"Fiqh Al-'Ebaadaat", #60
Shaikh Bin Baaz making takfir on those who dislodge the Shariah:
Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baaz said: "There is no Eeman for the one who believes
the laws of the people and their opinions are superior to the Hukm of Allah and His Messenger or
that they are equal to it or that they resemble it or who leaves it or replaces it with fabricated laws
and institutions invented by people, even if he believes that the laws of Allah are more
encompassing and more just." [Wujoob Tah'keem Shari'ah Allah' (pg. 16-17)]
The wicked scholars who claim they follow Shaikh Bin Baaz are similar to the Christians who claim they
follow Jesus, yet they worship the trinity, eat pork and walk around with an uncircumcised penis. A man
who is not circumcised is no better than a dog. They give women cancer of the cervix and they are prone
to catching the AIDs virus. Such men are not marriage material and it is haram for a Muslim woman to
marry them.
If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was it at
Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His
Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had
believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were
Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.). (At-Tawbah 9:65-66)
EXAMPLE #7 - ALLAH MAKING TAKFIR ON PEOPLE WHO SIT AT A GATHERING WHERE THE
DEEN IS RIDICULED
And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'an) that when you hear the Verses of
Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than
that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will
collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell, (An-Nisa 4:140)
EXAMPLE # 8 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON PEOPLE WHO TAKE SIDES WITH THE KUFFAAR
AGAINST THE BELIEVERS
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers,
etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then
surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists
and wrongdoers and unjust). (Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
Ibn Hazm Stated in Al-Muhalla (11/138): "What is correct is that His statement, the Most High, "And
if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them." (The Quran 5:51), should
be understood on the basis of its apparent meaning. The person being referred to is a disbeliever
from the generality of disbelievers, and no two Muslims disagree regarding this.”
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, may Allah have mercy on him, gathered ten actions that
negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-'Ashr), the eighth one of which states: "Assisting the disbelievers
(against the believers) (Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them against the believers (is
from the actions that negates of one's faith). The Proof being the statement of Allah, "And if any
amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those
people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). (The Quran 5:51).”
One of the nullifiers of Islam is to help the kuffaar against the Muslims
When you have hypocrisy in your heart your spiritual vision becomes blur and you cannot see things
clearly
EXAMPLE # 9 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN QURAN BUT REJECT
THE HADITH
Verily, those who disbelieve in Allah and His Messengers and wish to make distinction between
Allah and His Messengers (by believing in Allah and disbelieving in His Messengers) saying, "We
believe in some but reject others," and wish to adopt a way in between. They are in truth
disbelievers. And We have prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating torment. (An-Nisa 4:150-
151)
Those who claim to believe in Quran but reject Hadith are liars. They don’t believe in the Quran. If they
were believers in the Quran; consequently, they would believe in Hadith because Allah has commanded
us to follow Hadith in the following Ayahs:
Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind) : "If you (really) love Allah then follow me (i.e. accept Islamic
Monotheism, follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), Allah will love you and forgive you of your sins.
And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." (Aali Imran 3:31)
And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids
you, abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Severe in punishment. (Al-Hashr 59:7)
And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and the advice (the
Qur'an), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent down to them, and that they may give
thought. (An-Nahl 16:44)
EXAMPLE # 10 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON THOSE WHO HATE THE ANGEL JIBREEL A.S
"Whoever is an enemy to Allah, His Angels, His Messengers, Jibrael (Gabriel) and Mikael
(Michael), then verily, Allah is an enemy to the disbelievers." (Al-Baqarah 2:9
The Jews hate Jibreel a.s. because he revealed the Quran to Muhammad (saw) but Allah SWT said that
He revealed His Quran to Muhammad (saw)
EXAMPLE # 11 - ALLAH SWT MAKES TAKFIR ON THOSE WHO VETO MUHAMMAD SAWS
O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet (SAW), nor speak aloud
to him in talk as you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds may be rendered fruitless while
you perceive not. (Al-Hujurat 49:2)
Raising your voice over Muhammad (saw) nullifies all your deeds
Anyone whose deeds are nullified, his destiny is for the Hell-fire forever
EXAMPLE #12 - ALLAH MAKING TAKFIR ON PEOPLE WHO ASK THE MUSLIMS TO COMPROMISE
WITH THEIR DEEN
Say, "O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshippers of what I
worship. Nor will I be a worshipper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshippers of what I
worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." (Al-Kafirun 109:1-6) Sahih
International
The Scholars also said that if you don't make takfir on the person who insults Muhammad (saw) then you
become a kaafir as well
The Prophet (saw) said beat the person who insults his companions but kill the person who insults
Muhammad (saw) or any of the Prophets before him
Al-Imam Ishaq Ibn Rahawayh said: (All Muslims are in consensus that whoever curses Allah or
curses His Messenger, or rejects something from what Allah revealed, or killed a prophet, that he
is a kafir; and even if he accept what was revealed by Allah. And Al-Khattabi said, "I don't know of
anyone who disagrees with the obligation of his killing." And Muhammad Ibn Sahnun said that the
scholars are in consensus that the one who curses the Messenger is a Kafir; and whoever doubts
his Kufr is a Kafir.) Taken from (Kitab al-Sarim al-Maslul 'ala satim al-Rasul, by Ibn Taymiyya)
Abu al-Husain Muhammad Ibn Ahmad al-'Asqalani said: «The Mu'tazila of Baghdad and Basra, and
all of ahl al-Qibla, there is no ikhtilaf between them concerning, that the one who doubts regarding
the kafir then he himself is a kafir, because the doubter (sakk) concerning kufr there's no ‘iman for
him, because he don't know kufr from ‘iman. So there's no dispute between the Umma, the
Mu'tazila and other than them; that the doubter concerning the kafir is kafir!“ Taken from (Kitab al-
Tanbih wa al-Radd 'ala ahl al-Ahwa' wa al-Bida’, by Muhammad Ibn Ahmad al-Malati)
EXAMPLE # 14 - SHAIKH BIN BAAZ MAKES TAKFIR ON THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN ARAB
NATIONALISM
Shaykh ‘Abd al-‘Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked:
What is your opinion on the call for nationalism which believes that belonging to a race or
language takes precedence over belonging to a religion, and these groups claim that they do not
oppose religion, but they give nationalism precedence over it. What is your opinion of this call?
He replied: This is a jaahili call, and it is not permissible to join it or encourage those who promote
it. Rather it must be put an end to, because Islamic sharee’ah opposes it and rejects it. We should
refute their specious arguments and claims with that which makes the truth clear to those who
seek it. Islam is the only thing that preserved Arabness in language, literature and culture.
Rejecting Islam leads to destroying Arabness in language, literature and culture. Hence the
daa’iyahs should strive their utmost to call people to Islam just as the colonialists are striving
their utmost to destroy it.
It is a well known principle of Islam, that no Muslim has any excuse for not knowing, that the call
for Arab nationalism or any other kind of nationalism, is a false call, grave error and blatant evil; it
is a bad jaahili attitude and a plot against Islam and its followers.
That is due to many reasons that we have explained in a separate book entitled Naqd al-
Qawmiyyah al-‘Arabiyyah ‘ala Daw’ al-Islam wa’l-Waaqi’(Criticism of Arab Nationalism in the Light
of Islam and Reality). Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz (4/173).
The Shaykh (may Allaah have mercy on him) also said: One of the greatest of evils and follies is to
compare Islam to Arab nationalism. Does nationalism that is devoid of Islam have any
characteristics that qualify it to be counted among the ranks of Islam? Can there be any
comparison between the two?
Undoubtedly this is the gravest insult to Islam and a denial of its principles and wise teachings.
How can any sound mind compare between nationalism and Islam when, if Abu Jahl, ‘Utbah ibn
Rabee’ah, Shaybah ibn Rabee’ah and other enemies of Islam were alive, they would be among the
most prominent supporters and greatest proponents of nationalism. Fataawa al-Shaykh Ibn Baaz
(1/320, 321)
Narrated Jubair ibn Mut’im: The Messenger of Allah (SAW), said: "He is not one us who calls for
`Asabiyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyah or who dies for `Asabiyah." [Sunan
Abu Dawud (Vol. 2, pg. 753) No. 5121]
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes,
that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer)
who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Aware. (Al-Hujurat 49:13)
EXAMPLE #15: SHAIKH IBN TAYMIYYAH MAKING TAKFIR ON THE WICKED SCHOLARS
"A scholar who abandons what he has learnt from the Quran and the Sunnah and follows a ruler
who does not rule in accordance with the teaching of Allah and His Messenger is an apostate and
a disbeliever who deserves punishment in this world and in the hereafter " Fatawa Ibn
Taymiyyah, Volume 35/373
It is compulsory on a Muslim to make takfir because Allah, His Rasool (saw) and the scholars of Islam
have made takfir on the infidels and fake Muslims.
The munafiqoon and the kuffaar are afraid of the Tafiri because the Takfiri pronounce them as infidels
and expose them to the Ummah.
The munafiqoon have an agenda which is to infiltrate the Muslims and do mischief. However, the takfiri
prevents them from implementing their evil plot, because the Tafiri declared them as kuffaar and fake
Muslims who cannot be trusted.
The role of the Takfiri is to pull the wool from the eyes of unsuspecting Muslims who are very weak in
eeman and tauheed. These unsuspecting Muslims are preyed upon by the hypocrites, kuffaar and
heretics. They are quite vulnerable because they don’t know anything about Islam. Some of these
unsuspecting Muslims marry their innocent daughters to kuffaar. Others have lost their entire life savings
because they were conned by hypocrites and fake Muslims.
It is an honor to be a Takfiri because you are saving the Ummah from the evil plots of the hypocrites,
kuffar and heretics.
Allah Himself is a Takfiri. Hence, He has made takfir on the grave worshippers, practitioners of magic,
those who mock Islam, those who insult Allah and His Rasool (saw), those who dislodge the Shariah and
many more infidels who were listed in this dars.
This person Yusufdeen is a white man who believes in and condones homosexuality
He preaches that the People of the Book means Muslims, so when Allah said “We should fight the People
of the Book” it means fight the Muslims.
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which
has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion
of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the
Jizyah[] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (At-Tawbah 9:29)
You are not allowed to go to his paltalk rooms unless you want to debate him
Q: Is it allowed to make hijra with a non mahram woman, with intention of marraige there, knowing
that her parents are gonna be upset? Also are your parents kafir if they try to prevent you from
making hijra
If your parents prevent you from hijra they are weak in emaan. they are still muslims
we are not not allowed to make takfir on them
You are allowed to make hijra without a mahram because of the Ayah below
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows
best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not back to the
disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent [as
their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to
them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which
you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have
spent. That is the Judgement of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:10)
Q: whats the plight of the saudis who allow shia kuffars to do hajj in makkah and madina. also if u
go to the kafir court house to demand your right after your muslim bro uses kuffar law against u?
The apostate saudi government is wrong to allow the shia to enter makkah for hajj because the shia are
kaafirs due to their kufr ideology.
SHIA HUJJAH: It is a fundamental principle of faith that our (Shia) Imams have ranks higher than
the ranks of angels & God's prophets. (Khomeini's book, Hukuma Islamiya, p. 52)
SHIA HUJJAH: The Shia believe that at the time of Mahdi’s return Imam Mahdi will resurrect Aisha
(Prophet Mohammad’s wife) and execute the law of Hudud on her, for committing Zina (adultery)
during her marriage. (Al-Anwar Al-Numaniyah, vol. 1, p. 161, Tafsir al-Shafi, vol. 2, p. 108, Haq al-
Yaqeen, vol. 2, p. 256, Hayat al-Qulub, vol. 2, p. 611)
SHIA HUJJAH: The present Quran is in an altered, corrupted and distorted form.. (Fatuhat-e-Shia,
p. 129)
Ibn Hazm — "Shia are not even Muslims", when Christians debating him brought a Shia book as
reference See al-Millal wa al-Nahl 2/213 اﻟﻔﺻل ﻓﻲ اﻟﻣﻠل واﻟﻧﺣل
Allah lays down three conditions for us to accept new reverts as real Muslims in the Ayah below:
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren
in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)
A debate took place between Imam Shafiee and Imam Ahman bin Hanbal and Imam Ahmad brought
proof from Quran to prove that people who do not pray are kaafirs
Allah swt put three conditions on people to be considered Muslim, 1. to make tauba, 2. to pray salah, 3. to
pay zakat
Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Between a man (Muslim) and shirk and
disbelief lies neglect of salah.” [Sahih Muslim (1/88) No. 82, Sunan Tirmidhi (5/13) No. 2620, Sunan
Abu Dawud (4/219) No. 4678, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/181) No. 1078, Sunan An-Nasa'i (1/232) No. 463,
Musnad Ahmad (3/370) No. 15021]
Q: can u ask sheikh r we allowed to make takfir on bin baz if so why aren't there any other
scholars made takfir on him previously and presently
Shaikh bin Baaz was a great scholar and he worked to spread tauheed
However he made a mistake in allowing the kuffaar to enter muslim lands and use the Muslim land to kill
Muslims.
In the fatwa below Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab has made takfir on any Muslim who takes sides with
the kuffaar against other Muslims
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, may Allah have mercy on him, gathered ten actions that
negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-'Ashr), the eighth one of which states: "Assisting the disbelievers
(against the believers) (Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them against the believers (is
from the actions that negates of one's faith). The Proof being the statement of Allah, "And if any
amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those
people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). (The Quran 5:51).”
There is no doubt that the Americans and Russians are crusaders; therefore, it is haram for any scholar
to pass a fatwa to allow their armies to invade Muslim lands.
Shaikh bin Baaz is a man like every other man and a man makes mistakes, so we take the good and
leave the bad. The bad is taking sides with the Crusaders. This took him out of the fold of islam
The scholars did not publicly make takfeer on him because they probably feared reprisal
THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKFEER (APRIL 13 2014}
There is a person by the name of Salman Rushdie in the UK who wrote a book insulting Allah (SWT) and
His messenger (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Another example, if you see a girl with a red dot on his forehead (Hindu), are you saying you cannot call
them a non-believer?
Another example, if you see a person wearing a cross, are you saying you cannot call them a non-
believer?
Another example, if someone says Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) wrote the Quran, are you
saying you cannot make takfeer on such person?
People say rubbish when they say only a scholar can make takfeer.
Another example, if a person denies the Day of Judgement, do you need a scholar to make takfeer on
this person?
Certainly not.
O you who believe! Fear Allah (by doing all that He has ordered and by abstaining from all
that He has forbidden) as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and
remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islam (as Muslims) with complete
submission to Allah.
The sahaba use to memorize the nawaqid of Islam (nullifier of Islam) like they memorized surah al-
Fatiha.
During the battle of Yamaama, some sahaba who apostate fought in that battle.
This is why Allah (SWT) says "don't die unless in the state of Islam".
Narrated By Abu Musa al-Ash'ari: The Prophet (SAW) said: “Before you there will be
commotions like pieces of a dark night in which a man will be a believer in the morning and
an infidel in the evening. He who sits during them will be better than he who gets up, and he
who gets up during them is better than he who walks, and he who walks during them is
better than he who runs.” They (the people) said: What do you order us to do? He replied:
“Keep to your houses.”
[Sunan Abu Dawud (4/101) No. 4262, Musnad Ahmad (4/408) No. 19677, Mustadrak al-
Haakim (4/487) No. 8360; al-Haakim said this hadith has Sahih isnaad but they (Two
Shaikhs) did not narrate it]
Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find
for them.
(An-Nisa 4:145)
If a man does not fear of being a hypocrite then that person is already a hypocrite.
According to the murjee, it is not important to know who is a Muslim or who is a kafir.
Because on Judgement Day, Allah (SWT) will not ask such question.
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true
followers of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the
best) nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a
witness over you.
(Al-Baqarah 2:143)
So on Judgement Day, you will testify that messengers came to a nation but people rejected his
message.
Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said, "Whatever the Muslims see as good is good with Allah, Whatever the
Muslims see as bad, Allah sees as bad."
Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said, "Indeed Allah looked into the hearts of the servants and found the
heart of Muhammad (SAW) to be the best of the hearts of His servants and so He chose him
for Himself and sent him as a Messenger. Then He looked into the hearts of His servants
after Muhammad and found the hearts of the Companions to be the best of the hearts of the
servants. So He made them ministers of His Messenger fighting for His Deen. So whatever
the Muslims see as good is good with Allah, Whatever the Muslims see as bad, Allah sees as
bad."
But the above-mentioned hadith of Ibn Mas'ud (RA) refutes this ideology.
(An-Nisa 4:35)
Ibn Abbas (RA) used the above ayah to refute the Khawareej.
When the Khawareej say "Allah (SWT) is the only Judge", Ali (RA) replied "a word of truth but they use it
in falsehood" because they take it out of context.
So be careful of people quoting Quranic verses because in most cases they take it out of context.
Verily! Allah commands that you should render back the trusts to those, to whom they are
due; and that when you judge between men, you judge with justice. Verily, how excellent is
the teaching, which He (Allah) gives you! Truly, Allah is Ever All Hearer, All Seer.
(An-Nisa 4:58)
Allah (SWT) says in the above ayah that you should judge with justice.
And so judge (you O Muhammad SAW) between them by what Allah has revealed and follow
not their vain desires, but beware of them lest they turn you (O Muhammad SAW) far away
from some of that which Allah has sent down to you. And if they turn away, then know that
Allah's Will is to punish them for some sins of theirs. And truly, most of men are Fasiqun
(rebellious and disobedient to Allah).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:49)
You were commanded to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong.
How will you enjoin the right if you did not judge it to be good?
And how will you forbid the wrong if you did not judge it for being evil?
You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW
and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you
enjoin Al-Ma'ruf (i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-
Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah.
Allah (SWT) says you the Muslim is the best nation, why? Because you enjoin the right and forbid wrong,
and you believe in Allah (SWT).
You are the only nation who believes in Allah (SWT) properly.
O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah
knows best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not
back to the disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the
disbelievers lawful (husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money)
which they have spent [as their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry
them if you have paid their Mahr to them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as
wives, and ask for (the return of) that which you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the
disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have spent. That is the Judgement of Allah.
He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:10)
Any sheikh who says the opposite or makes it halal, the sheikh is ruling over Allah's rule hence he is a
kafir.
It was narrated from Usamah bin Zaid, who attributed it to the Prophet ()ﷺ: “The Muslim
does not inherit from a disbeliever and the disbeliever does not inherit from a Muslim.”
{Sunan Ibn Majah: Vol. 1, Book 23, Hadith 2729} & Sahih Bukhari: Vol: 8 Book 85 Chapter
26 Hadith 6764}
Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said,
"Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian Peninsula." Malik said that Ibn Shihab said,
''Umar ibn al-Khattab searched for information about that until he was absolutely convinced
that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), had said, 'Two deens shall not co-exist in the Arabian
Peninsula,' and he therefore expelled the jews from Khaybar."
[Muwatta Malik (2/63) No. 1862 and Bayhaqi in 'Sunan al-Kubra' (9/350) No. 18751]
Ibn Qudaamah (rh) said: "It is not permissible for any of them (the kuffaar) to live in the
Hijaaz. This is the view of Malik and al-Shafi’i, but Malik said: I think that they should be
expelled from all the Arab lands, because the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Two religions
cannot coexist in the Arabian Peninsula.” Abu Dawood narrated with his isnaad from ‘Umar
that he heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say: “I will certainly expel the Jews and the
Christians from the Arabian Peninsula,, and I will not leave anyone there but Muslims.” Al-
Tirmidhi said: this is a saheeh hasan hadeeth. And it was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: The
Messenger of Allah (SAW) left behind three instructions. He said: Expel the mushrikeen from
the Arabian Peninsula, honour the delegations the way that I do, and he kept quiet about
the third.
[Sahih Muslim (3/1388) No. 1767, Sunan Tirmidhi (4/156) No. 1607, Sunan Abu Dawud
(3/165) No. 3030, Musnad Ahmad (1/32) No. 219]
4. Kafir should not gain access sensitive information of the Islamic State.
O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers,
friends, etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since
they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred
has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed
We have made plain to you the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand.
If a Muslim kills a kafir, he must pay blood money but he cannot be killed.
On the authority of 'Amr bin Shu'aib from his father, from his grandfather that the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "The Muslim is not killed for a disbeliever."
[Sunan Tirmidhi (4/25) No. 1413, Sunan Ibn Majah (3/671) No. 2659, Musnad Ahmad
(2/178) No. 6662, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/173) No. 4506]
Can you cut off the hand of a Muslim for stealing the wealth of a kafir? Yes you may.
If you find a product that is sold by a Muslim and a kafir with no price difference or quality, then you
must buy from the Muslim because he pays zakat.
O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists,
etc.) as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has
come to you of the truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, this Qur'an, and Muhammad SAW), and
have driven out the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and yourselves (from your homeland)
because you believe in Allah your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to
seek My Good Pleasure, (then take not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your
friends). You show friendship to them in secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal
and what you reveal. And whosoever of you (Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone
(far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path.
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:1)
You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day,
making friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW ), even
though they were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For
such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh (proofs, light and
true guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which
rivers flow, to dwell therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They
are the Party of Allah. Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful.
(Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim (Abraham) and those with
him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship
besides Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and
hatred for ever, until you believe in Allah Alone,"except the saying of Ibrahim (Abraham) to
his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allah) for you, but I have no power to do
anything for you before Allah." Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone)
we turn in repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return,
(Al-Mumtahinah 60:4)
Al walaa wal baraa means to love and hate for the sake of Allah (SWT).
On the authority of Ubada bin As-Samit the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “…topple the
leader if you see clear kufr...”
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors,
helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as
Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the
Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
Ibn Hazm Stated in Al-Muhalla (11/138): "What is correct is that His statement, the Most
High, "And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of them." (The
Quran 5:51), should be understood on the basis of its apparent meaning. The person being
referred to is a disbeliever from the generality of disbelievers, and no two Muslims disagree
regarding this."
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, may Allah have mercy on him, gathered ten actions
that negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-'Ashr), the eighth one of which states: "Assisting the
disbelievers (against the believers) (Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them
against the believers (is from the actions that negates of one's faith). The Proof being the
statement of Allah, "And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one of
them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-
doers and unjust). (The Quran 5:51)."
Example of people taking side with the kufar to kill Muslims is the Saudi government who gave petroleum
to the kufar in order to kill Iraqee Muslims.
The drone that killed Imam Anwar al Al walaki (RH) was sent from a Muslim country.
Pakistani government also allowed NATO to use their land in order to kill the Muslims of Afghanistan.
And there are many other examples.
A madkhalis do say that don't topple the leader, it is qadr of Allah for him to be the leader.
They use qadr to justify the kufr and tyranny of the leaders.
A madkhalis believes it is halal to spy for the MI5, the CIA, and the FBI.
If you do not understand tawheed, you will think a madkhalis incredibly pious.
You need to understand tawheed to know who is a real Muslim and who is a kafir.
When the prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) went to Hudaybiyyah, had he fought against the MAKKAH
he would have killed Muslims who were hiding their faith.
Even in the palace of the Pharaoh, there were Muslims who were hiding their faith.
So takfeer is important so that when there is jihad you know the enemy clearly.
When you kill your Muslim brother in the battlefield, it is called "friendly fire".
And never (O Muhammad SAW) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies,
nor stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while
they were Fasiqun (rebellious, - disobedient to Allah and His Messenger SAW).
(At-Tawbah 9:84)
You can go the janaza when the kafir is your father, mother, or son and if he wasn't hostile against
Islam.
The prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told Ali (RA) to bury Abu Talib.
You can go to show your face.
As for going to the janaza of a hypocrite or a hostile kafir or one that isn't your relative is totally haram.
10. You cannot bury a kafir in the graveyard of the Muslim and vice versa.
The purpose of takfeer is to purify you from 5 evil things: kufr, shirk, hypocrisy, heresy, and apostasy.
Takfeer is a religious matter therefore we are only allowed to make takfeer on the person who Allah and
His messenger (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) have made takfeer on.
Sometime a Muslim gets ripped off by another fellow Muslim, this is very hurtful but not a reason to
make takfeer.
The layman is obliged to leave the takfeer to the scholar when the kufr is not clear.
However if the kufr is clear, you don't need to leave it for the scholar.
According to the murjee, no haram can take you out of the fold of Islam.
In order for me to be a kafir, I need to make the haram halal by the tongue.
This is a big lie because Allah made takfeer on people who practice black magic.
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of
Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved,
teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut
and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said,
"We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)."
(Al-Baqarah 2:102)
All the scholar say that the above ayah is sufficient to make takfeer on people who practice black magic.
Allah (SWT) said in the Quran surah Al An'am verse: 121
And certainly, the Shayatin (devils) do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with
you, and if you obey them [by making AlMaytatah (a dead animal) legal by eating it], then
you would indeed be Mushrikun (polytheists) [because they (devils and their friends) made
lawful to you to eat that which Allah has made unlawful to eat and you obeyed them by
considering it lawful to eat, and by doing so you worshipped them, and to worship others
besides Allah is polytheism].
(Al-An'am 6:121)
In the above ayah, Allah (SWT) made takfeer on people who eat meat that was slaughter upon other
deity than Allah (SWT) Himself.
And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed
it was shameful and most hateful, and an evil way.
(An-Nisa 4:22)
A man was killed as a kafir because he did not believe in the above ayah, surah 4 verse 22.
The only action that can eject you out of the fold of the Islam is a major kufr.
The plight of the khawareej is that they paint every kufr with the same brush.
So consequently, they make takfeer on Muslims who have girlfriends or drink alcohol.
If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was
it at Allah, and His Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and His
Messenger (SAW) that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after you
had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they
were Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc.).
(At-Tawbah 9:65-66)
Another example of Allah (SWT) making takfeer because of major kufr is the above ayahs.
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors,
helpers, etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as
Auliya', then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the
Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers and unjust).
(Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
In the above ayah, Allah (SWT) makes takfeer on those who help the kufar over the Muslims.
Narrated By Al-Bara' ibn Azib: I met my uncle who was carrying a standard. I asked him:
'Where are you going?' He said: 'The Apostle of Allah (SAW) has sent me to a man who has
married his father's wife. He has ordered me to cut off his head and take his property.'
[Sunan Abu Dawud (4/157) No. 4457, Sunan al-Nasa'i (6/109) No. 3332, Sunan al-Darime
(2/205) No. 2239, Musnad Ahmad (4/290) No. 18580]
Ibn Kateer (RH) the man in this hadith was killed as a kafir because his wealth was confiscated.
This means you can become a kafir by acting upon a major kufr.
ARE YOU A WAHHABI?
ARE YOU A WAHHABI?
By Shaikh Abdullah Faisal
What do you understand from the word Wahhabi, who uses this term and why?
The Wahhabi movement is classified as a spiritual and political movement. This is so because they believe
in the establishment of the Islamic State to preserve the deen of the Ummah.
The spiritual father for the wahhabi movement was Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. He was born 1703
and died 1792. He founded a movement based on pure tawheed
in order to purify the Arabian Peninsula from seven evil things:
1. Kufr
2. Shirk
3. Zandaqa [heresy]
4. Superstitions
5. Deviancy
6. Bid'ah [cursed innovations]
7. Apostasy
He will always be remembered for his amazing accomplishment of ridding the Arabian Peninsula of grave
worshippers. His work, nawaaqid al Islam, is a book comprised of the 10 things that eject a person
outside the fold of Islam. This book was written to protect the Ummah from kufr, shirk, zandaqa, and
apostasy. It is incumbent on all Muslims to study the contents of this book in order to safeguard their
deen. Many Muslims have apostates in their families without realising it because they do not understand
tawheed to know who is a Muslim and who is a kaafir.
It is incumbent on all Islamic schools, colleges, institutes and universities to study this book, the 10
Nullifiers of Islam. Below are the 10 nullifiers of Islam stated by Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab:
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab said: Know that the things that nullify Islam
are TEN
FIRST: polytheism, which is worshipping other gods besides the One true
God, Allah [4:48; 5:72]
THIRD: he commits Kufr whoever does not apply the Kufr principle upon
polytheists, or whoever doubts that polytheists are infidels, or whoever
corrects polytheists’ path. [3:19; 3:85]
The three principles is another book written by Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. These three principles are
called Root Islamic Education [Asli Deen]. The Shaikh took the three principles from the Hadith where the
Prophet Muhammad [saw] said every human will be asked three questions in his or her grave.
Bara (RA) reported from the Prophet (SAW) about this verse: "Allah keeps
the believers firm with the stable word in the worldly life and in the
Hereafter." (14:27) He explained that this has reference to the grave when it
is asked, “Who is your Lord? Who was your Prophet? and What is your
religion?” [Bukhari 1369, Muslim 2871, Abu Dawud 4750, Tirmidhi 3131,
Nisai 2056, Ibn e Majah 4269]
These three principles are also called Ma'loom min ad-deen Bid-Daroora meaning that which is known of
Islam by necessity. You need to know these three things to be a real Muslim. If you are ignorant of three
things, you are not a Muslim.
The following 11 people are guilty of calling orthodox Muslims Wahhabis'. Their aim and objective is to
use the term Wahhabi to insult real Muslims [people on pure tawheed] because they envy the real
Muslims for their deen.
1. Shia
2. Sufi
3. Berailvis
4. Parvezi [Hadith rejector]
5. Mu'tazila [rationalist]
6. Asha'ira
7. Secularist
8. Modernist
9. Democrats
10. Hypocrites
11. Apostates
The people who use the word wahhabi, their intention is to practise smear, sneer and jeer. However, the
people who practice the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab are not Wahhabis. They are Ahlus
Sunnah Wal Jamaa'ah and Salafi Jihadi. These words are not offensive. They are also referred to as a
Muwahhid [i.e. a person who is on pure tawheed]. It is inappropriate to call a person a Wahhabi because
it is used to insult and name calling is haram in the following Ayah:
O you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people; perhaps
they may be better than them; nor let women ridicule [other] women;
perhaps they may be better than them. And do not insult one another and do
not call each other by [offensive] nicknames. Wretched is the name of
disobedience after [one's] faith. And whoever does not repent - then it is
those who are the wrongdoers. (Al-Ĥujurāt 49:11)
The people who are Mushrikeen use the word Wahhab to insult orthodox Muslims. They want you to
abandon your pure tawheed and follow them in their kufr, shirk and zandaqa. The Sufis, Shias and
Bervailvis are the Mushrikeen of the Ummah.
Sufis are the Christian of the Ummah, the Berailvis are still Hindus and the Shias are still Zorastrians.
These people have entered into the fold of Islam under false pretence. These people cannot survive in a
genuine Islamic State because they are kuffar, outside the fold of Islam. They would be asked to convert
to Islam or leave.
They are the worst of kuffar. They preach that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was a British agent. Like
all infidels, they slander their enemies in order to survive. We are not allowed to call their places of
worship a masjid. This is because they worship false deities in their places of worship. You have to call it
a temple because in a masjid Allah alone is worshipped. Hence, Allah says:
And the mosques are for Allâh (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with
Allâh. (Al-Jinn 72:18)
When Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was born, he and the British didn't share the same era. Muhammad
ibn Abdul Wahhab is from Uyayna, Saudia Arabia. He was born 1703. This was long before the British
stepped into the Middle East. Also, he was from Saudia Arabia, and we all know that Saudia Arabia was
not colonised by the British or any one else.
Allah told us to verify the news coming from an evil person in the following Ayah:
O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news,
verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become
regretful to what you have done. (Al-Hujurat 49:6)
If you repeat this news from the mushrikeen, you will be asked about it on Day of Judgement because it
is a slander. Moreover, the flesh of the scholars is poison. Be careful about slandering a pious scholar.
The Holy Prophet [saw] said:
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "It is enough to call
a man a liar that he narrates everything he hears" [Sahih Muslim (1/10) No.
5, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah (5/237) No. 25617, al-Zuhd al-Ahmad Ibn
Hanbal (p. 41) No. 249]
Why would the British sponsor a scholar like Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab to bring back authentic
tawheed to the Ummah?!
These misguided Muslims use to be grave worshippers. The colonial masters promote evil practices like
grave worshipping because grave worshippers have no taqwa to oppose them with jihad.
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab will be remembered as the man who surgically removed shirk from the
Ummah. The malicious slander of the mushrikeen doesn't make sense because it doesn't stand up to
scrutiny.
Mirza Gulam Ahmed, the false Prophet of Qadian, was on the payroll of the British. He preached non-
jihad against the colonialist and he even claimed to be a Prophet after Muhammad [saw].
Ahmed Raza, the founding father of the Berailvi movement, was also paid by the British, and he preached
that Muslims should worship the graves besides Allah [shirk].
History has proven that the preachers who were sponsored by the British were all fake Muslims whose
aim and objectives was to mislead unsuspecting Muslims. Today, millions of Muslims in India, Pakistan
and Bangladesh have become infidels due to the work of Mirza Ghulam Ahmed and Ahmed Raza. Both of
these heretics were sponsored by the British.
The text has a literal meaning unless proven otherwise. The text means Quran and
Sunnah. Therefore, we have to understand the text from its apparent meaning. Those,
in whose heart is the disease of hypocrisy, claim that the text is metaphorical; therefore
it has a hidden meaning which is known only to their Imams who are firmly grounded in
knowledge. These people are called the batiniyyah [those who claim that the text is
metaphorical and it has a hidden meaning]. The reason why the batiniyyah claim that
the text is metaphorical is because they have an evil motive. Their evil motive is to put
a spin on the text in order to mislead unsuspecting Muslims.
The movement of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Their stance is
the stance of the Dhahiriyyah madhab, they take a literal approach to the text unless we have evidence
that the text is metaphorical.
He refused to subscribe to the batiniyyah madhab because he took his teachings from Ahmed ibn Hanbal
and ibn Taymiyyah. He was considered 100% Hanbali in madhab because he followed the madhab in
aqeeda and fiqh.
Whenever you follow one of the four great Imams in aqeeda and fiqh you will be protected from deviant
ideas. But if you follow one of the four great Imams in fiqh only you are not protected from deviant
ideas. Unfortunately, this is the plight of most Muslims today. They follow Imam Abu Hanifa, Malik and
Shafi in fiqh but not in aqeeda, so they have become deviants in regards to aqeeda.
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab didn't invent a fifth Madhab, although he had the influence to do so,
because this would cause fitnah in the Ummah. We are happy with the four great Imams and there is no
need for a fifth madhab. Naasir Deen Albani tried to invent a fifth madhab and he failed miserably.
Due to the stance of Ahmed ibn Hanbal against all deviant groups of his era, he gained the title the Imam
of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah.
It is not compulsory on a Muslim to rigidly follow one of the four madhabs; however, it is compulsory on
a Muslim to have a teacher who is an expert in aqeeda to teach him the Islamic creed. And it is
compulsory on him to have a teacher who is an expert in fiqh to teach him Islamic jurisprudence.
This is so because we were commanded by Allah to ask those who know if we dont know:
So ask the people who have knowledge of the scripture if you don't know.
(Al-Anbiya 21:7)
The people who say the Quran is metaphorical, they claim that the throne of Allah is an abstract noun
and not a concrete noun because the word arsh means the Glory of Allah. A concrete noun is a thing you
can see and touch like a car or a house. We use the following Quranic verse to refute their false claim:
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the
Throne of your Lord above them. (Al-Haqqah 69:17)
If eight angels will carry the throne of Allah on the Day of Judgement, how can it be an abstract noun?!
The Sufis and Shias say don't take the Quran literally, but they are hypocrites they take the Quran
literally when it suits them. For example, they take 2:115 literally:
And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you [might] turn,
there is the Face of Allah. Indeed, Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
(Al-Baqarah 2:115) (Al-Baqarah 2:115)
They use the above mentioned verse to say Allah is everywhere, even though the verse means the
Knowledge of Allah is everywhere.
And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein. (Qaf 50:16)
They use the above verse to promote wahdatul wujood [union]. The concept of union means a servant of
Allah can become so pious due to his righteous deeds, to the extent that he becomes one with Allah.
When he becomes one with Allah, he becomes a man-God. Hence, he doesn't need to pray anymore and
everything which is haram has become halal for him including zina and khamr.
The people who claim we take the Quran literally also say we are guilty of giving Allah human body parts.
This is called anthropomorphism. We refute them by saying it is impossible for us to give Allah human
body parts because Allah is not human. Therefore, Allah has two hands, but they are not like our hands
because Allah doesn't not resemble His creation in anyway shape or form. Allah told us in the following
Ayah that He has two Hands and He created Adam with His two Hands.
(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to
one whom I have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall
prostrate to Adam) or are you one of the highly exalted?" (Sad 38:75)
We affirm this Ayah as it is mentioned in the Quran literally. Our understanding is that Allah has two
hands but it is not like our hands because Allah says:
There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (Ash-
Shura 42:11)
The clock on the wall has two hands and they don't resemble your hands. Allah is the Creator and we are
His creation, and Allah doesn't resemble His creation. The Prophet (saw) said Allah created four things
with His two Hands: Arsh, Pen, Adam and Paradise.
Mujahid narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) said: “Allah created four things
with His Hand; 1. The Throne 2. The Pen 3. Aadam and 4. The paradise of
‘Adn. He then said to the rest of the creation ‘Kun’ [Be] and it was.” [Adh
Dhahabi in ‘Mukhtasar al-‘Uluw’ (p105), Abu al-Shaikh al-Asbahani in ‘al-
‘Adhuma' (5/1555), Tafsir al-Tabari (21/239), ‘The chain is authentic
according to the conditions of Muslim.’]
When you read the Quran and you see Allah mention His Face, Hands and Shin you have to take the
same stance as the sahabas. Therefore, you read it, believe it and leave it - do not put a spin on it like
the heretics do.
The Hanbali use the following Hadith to say Allah has two Eyes but His Eyes are not like our eyes:
‘Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) said: One day the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
mentioned Al-Masih Dajjal (the Antichrist) in the presence of the people and
said, "Verily, Allah is not one-eyed but Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal is blind in the right
eye which looks like a swollen grape." [al-Bukhari (7127) and Muslim (169)]
Those who reject the concept that Allah has two Hands and two Eyes, their hearts are not pure. In their
hearts and mind they make Allah similar to His creation. They believe Allah's Hands are like our hands.
Due to this erroneous concept which is shirk, they deny that Allah has two hands. We, the members of
ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah do not believe that Allah's two Hands resemble our hands; hence, we have
no qualms about accepting the apparent meaning of the Ayah that says Allah has two Hands and He
created Adam with His two Hands.
If you are sincere about following an Imam, you would follow the Imam in fiqh and aqeeda. This is what
the Hanbalis do, we follow Ahmed ibn Hanbal in fiqh and aqeeda. When you are not sincere, you will
follow the Imam in fiqh but dump his aqeeda and this is what the Hanafis have done, they follow Abu
Hanifa in Fiqh but his not in Aqeeda because they don't want to give up shirk.
Instead of following Abu Hanifa in aqeeda, they follow a madman called Abu Mansoor al Maturudi from
Uzbekistan and dump the aqeeda of Abu Hanifa. The neo Hanafis claim that aqeeda is not important, so
in their institutions they teach Hanafi fiqh and no tawheed. But how could they make such a claim when
the founding father of the Hanafi madhab wrote a book on tawheed and called it Fiqh al Akbar. In his
book he asserted that the greatest subject of Islam is tawheed. It is clear that the neo Hanafis claim to
follow Abu Hanifa is a big lie. Their similitude is like the Christians who claim to follow Jesus, yet they eat
pig, are uncircumcised and worship three gods in a trinity.
Nouman Ali Khan Unveiled : Noman Ali Khan Said Aqeedah is Not
Important::::: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XpA0ZTaqQk
Another false claim of the Hanafis is that it is bida'h to ask a Muslim “where is Allah?”. They say asking
Muslims “where is Allah?” is one of the hallmarks of a Wahhabi and it is un-Islamic. We use the follow
hadith to refute their false claim:
It is narrated that the companion Mu`awiyah ibn al-Hakam, (RA) slapped his
servant girl who used to tend his sheep, and as a result went to the Prophet
(SAWS) and asked what should be done as an atonement for having slapped
her. The Prophet replied, "Bring her to me" so Mu`awiyah brought her to the
Prophet. The Prophet then asked her, "Where is Allah?" and she replied
"Above the Sky (heavens)" then the Prophet asked her, "Who am I?" and she
replied, "You are Allah’s Messenger", so the Prophet said, "Free her, for verily
she is a true believer." [Sahih Muslim (1/381) No. 537]
In the above mentioned Hadith the Prophet (saw) asked a slave girl “where is Allah?” and we are not
allowed to assume the Prophet (saw) did bida'h by asking the question. The reason why the mushrikeen
don't like to be asked “where is Allah?” is because they claim Allah is everywhere. None of the four great
Imams believed Allah is everywhere.
Abu Haneefah (rh) said, when asked of his opinion of the one who says, ‘I do
not know whether Allah is above the heavens or on the earth.’ - “He has
disbelieved, because Allah says, “The Most Merciful rose above the Throne,”
and His Throne is above His seven heavens.’ He was then asked , ‘what if he
said that Allah is above His Throne but he does not know whether the Throne
is in the heavens or on the earth?’ He said, ‘He has disbelieved, because He
has denied that He is above the heavens, And whosoever denied that He is
above the heavens has disbelieved.” (‘Sharh Usul I’tiqaad Ahlus Sunnah’ of
al-Laalikaaee (d.414AH), ‘al-Uluww’ of adh- Dhahabee, also ‘Sharh Aqueedah
at-Tahaawiyyah’ of ibn Abee al-Izz al-Hanafee)
The Maliki Sufis are liars as well because they claim to follow Imam Malik. But when we compare their
ideology to the beliefs of Imam Malik, we can safely conclude that they do not follow Imam Malik. The
Maliki Sufis preach that Allah is everywhere, and according to the following fatwa of Imam Malik, he was
innocent of such zandaqa [heresy].
Ja'far Ibn Abdullah narrated: We were with Malik Ibn Anas when a man came
to him and said: “O Abu Abdullah (Allah said) 'Ar-Rahman upon the Throne
Istawa' (20:5), how was His Istiwa? Imam Malik inclined his head and was
silent until the sweat of fever covered his brow, then he looked up and said:
"Istiwa is not unknown, the Kayf (how) is uncomprehendable, believing in it
is wajib (obligatory), and asking about it is bid'ah (innovation), and I do not
think that you are anything but an innovator." Then he ordered that the man
be expelled. [Abu-Naeem Al-Asbahani in 'Hilyatul-Awliya wa Tabaqat Al-
Asfiya' (Vol. 6, pg. 325-326)]
Imam Ahmad: (RA)He was asked: "Is Allah above His 'Arsh, above the
seventh heaven, separate from His creatures, and is His knowledge and
power encompassing everything everywhere?" He replied: "Certainly, He is
above His 'Arsh and nothing escapes His knowledge." [Al-Juyush al-
Islamiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, p. 123] All of the above show that the entire
Muslim 'Ummah, in the past and present, is in unison regarding the belief in
the Loftiness and Supremacy of Allah, the Exalted.
As for the Berailvis you are a liar with your claim to follow abu Hanifa because you
believe Allah is everywhere and Abu Hanifa use to make takfir on people with such a
belief.
The Sufis refuse to believe that Allah is above the arsh and they insist that Allah is everywhere in person.
This ideology is farfetchedness because Allah is not in unholy places like the toilet and the brothel.
However, Allah sees everywhere.
The Sufis claim if we believe Allah is above the arsh, we are restricting Allah. And it is wrong to put a
limit on Allah. The reason why the Sufis insist that Allah is everywhere is because they use this ideology
to promote their belief in wahdatul wujood, Union.
The spiritual father of Wahhabism is Ibn Taymiyyah. Therefore, you shouldn't be surprised that his books
are banned in Egypt and Jordan because the Islamic State take all their aqeeda from Ibn Taymiyyah and
Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab. They even banned the books of Bin Baaz and Uthaymeen because they
also take their aqeeda from Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab.
The other principle of the Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab movement is that they rely on Hadith
revelation, not reason. The hypocrites rely on reason, not revelation because they want to make up their
own religion called Hislam, not Islam. The following three Quranic verses refute the stance of the
Parvezis [Hadith rejectors]:
Say (O Muhammad SAW to mankind) : "If you (really) love Allah then follow
me (i.e. accept Islamic Monotheism, follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah), Allah
will love you and forgive you of your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful." (Aali Imran 3:31)
And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) gives you, take it, and
whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it), and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is
Severe in punishment. (Al-Hashr 59:7)
And We have also sent down unto you (O Muhammad SAW) the reminder and
the advice (the Qur'an), that you may explain clearly to men what is sent
down to them, and that they may give thought. (An-Nahl 16:44)
One of the main principles of the Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab movement is the takfir of Shias and
extreme Sufis. They call the followers of this movement "tafiris". The word takfir means to pronounce a
Muslim an infidel. It is also translated as excommunicate. As Muslims, we have no choice but to make
takfir on the Shia because their creed is zandaqa, heresy. For example, they accuse Ayesha, the wife of
the Prophet (saw) of having an affair. The following extract from the Shia holy book is our evidence that
they accuse Ayesha of having an affair.
SHIA HUJJAH: The Shia believe that at the time of Mahdi’s return Imam
Mahdi will resurrect Aisha (Prophet Mohammad’s wife) and execute the law
of Hudud on her, for committing Zina (adultery) during her marriage. (Al-
Anwar Al-Numaniyah, vol. 1, p. 161, Tafsir al-Shafi, vol. 2, p. 108, Haq al-
Yaqeen, vol. 2, p. 256, Hayat al-Qulub, vol. 2, p. 611)
Allah ta alla has informed the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) that Ayesha didn't have an affair and when
the hypocrites of Madina accused her of adultery, it was an ifk, a big lie. Hence, Allah said:
Verily! Those who brought forth the ifk, slander against 'Aishah the wife of
the Prophet (SAW) are a group among you. Consider it not a bad thing for
you. Nay, it is good for you. Unto every man among them will be paid that
which he had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had the
greater share therein, his will be a great torment. (An-Nur 24:11)
We have no choice but to make takfir on the Shias because they elevate their imams are above the
Angels and the Prophet (saw).
Additionally, they claim the Quran is corrupted. By saying this they are saying Allah broke His promise to
protect the Quran.
In the following Ayahs Allah ta alla has promised mankind that he shall protect the Quran from corruption
and human interference
Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and
surely, We will guard it (from corruption). (Al-Hijr 15:9)
Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is) sent down by
the All-Wise, Worthy of all praise (Allah). (Fussilat 41:42)
SHIA HUJJAH: “Allah often lies and does mistakes” [Usool-al-Kafi, page 328,
Yacoob Kulayni, Vol. 1]
As for the extreme Sufis who we make takfir on, they claim that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) was nur
and not a human. This creed contradicts the following Quranic verse:
Say (O Muhammad SAW) : "I am only a man like you. It has been inspired to
me that your Ilah (God) is One Ilah (God i.e. Allah). So whoever hopes for the
Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a
partner in the worship of his Lord." (Al-Kahf 18:110)
The above mentioned Quranic verse states that Muhammad (saw) was a human just like us. He was born
as a result of marriage, he ate food and drank, he suffered hunger and thirst, he had emotions of joy and
sorrow, he cried when he was hurt like all other humans. The following Hadiths explain further:
Narrated By Anas bin Malik: We went with Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) to the
blacksmith Abu Saif, and he was the husband of the wet-nurse of Ibrahim
(the son of the Prophet). Allah's Apostle took Ibrahim and kissed him and
smelled him and later we entered Abu Saif's house and at that time Ibrahim
was in his last breaths, and the eyes of Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) started
shedding tears. 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Auf said, "O Allah's Apostle, even you are
weeping!" He said, "O Ibn 'Auf, this is mercy." Then he wept more and said,
"The eyes are shedding tears and the heart is grieved, and we will not say
except what pleases our Lord, O Ibrahim ! Indeed we are grieved by your
separation." [Sahih Bukhari (2/83) No. 1303]
The other difference we have with the extreme Sufis is their claim that the Prophet Muhammad (saw) is
ever living; hence, he is still alive in the grave so we are allowed to pray to him and beg him for what we
want. We, the members of ahlas sunnah wal jamaa'ah, have evidences from Quran and Sunnah that the
Prophet Muhammad (saw) has passed away. Hence, Allah said:
Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be
paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and
admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the
enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing). (Aali Imran 3:185)
Verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) will die and verily, they (too) will die. (Az-
Zumar 39:30)
By you claiming Muhammad is still alive, you have gone agains the Quran and the sahabas who said he
was dead
"Wheresoever you may be, death will overtake you even if you are in
fortresses built up strong and high!" (An-Nisa 4:78)
When the Prophet (saw) passed away in Madina, the Muslims were devastated. So Abu Bakr Saddiq
addressed the crowd by saying:
“if
anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is
dead, but if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and
shall never die. [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 5, Book 59, Hadith #733]
When Abu Bakr Saddiq mad the pronouncement that the Prophet (saw) was dead, none of the sahabas
objected to his statement. Therefore, this means there was ijma among the sahabas that the Prophet
(saw) had passed away. Hence, when the Sufis claim that the Prophet (saw) is still alive and did not die,
they are guilty of going against Quran and Sunnah and the ijma of the sahabas. To go against the ijma of
the sahabas is major kufr.
The extreme Sufis also claim Muhammad (saw) has all of his faculties in the grave and he is fully aware
with the fiqhul waqi of the Ummah (current affairs). The following Hadith refutes their false claim:
Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection a
group of companions will come to me, but will be driven away from the Lake-
Fount, and I will say, 'O Lord (those are) my companions!' It will be said,
'You have no knowledge as to what they innovated after you left; they turned
apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)." [Sahih Bukhari (8/120) No.
6585]
If the Prophet Muhammad (saw) has all of his faculties in the grave, why is it that he is not aware that
some of his sahabas apostated after his death?
Another difference we have with the extreme Sufis is the issue of tawassul. The Arabic word “tawassul”
means to seek a means to draw near to Allah. We, the members of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah practice
tawassul with pious deeds by calling upon Allah with his 99 names and attributes or with the dua of a
pious person. However, the extreme Sufis practice tawassul by saying "O Allah forgive me of my sins
because of the greatness of Muhammad". They also quote the following fabricated Hadith as their hujjah:
“When Adam sinned, Allah told him to seek forgiveness in the name of
Muhammad, then Allah said to him: Had it not been for Muhammad I
wouldn’t create the heavens and the earth. I Allah created the heavens and
the earth for the sake of Muhammad." O Adam, I have forgiven you, and
were it not for Muhammad I would not have created you." It was transmitted
through many chains and was cited by Bayhaqi (in Dala'il al-nubuwwa), Abu
Nu'aym (in Dala'il al-nubuwwa), al-Hakim in al-Mustadrak (2:615), al-
Tabarani in his Saghir (2:82, 207) [this hadith is fabricated]
Another difference we have with the extreme Sufis is praying to the inhabitants of the grave and asking
them to fulfill their needs. The following Ayahs refute their pagan doctrine.
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And
those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say) : "We
worship them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will
judge between them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides
not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case)
they were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the
Day of Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can
inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the All Knower (of each and
everything). (Fatir 35:14)
It is haram for us to pray to the graves because the inhabitants in the graves cannot hear us. And even if
they hear, they cannot grant us our request. Moreover, the Prophet (saw) told us in the following Hadith
that the grave is an idol that people worship. Hence, those who pray to the graves are kuffar and idol
worshippers.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that
the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol
that is worshipped. The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets
as places of prostration was terrible." [Muwatta Malik (1/223) No. 570,
Musannaf Abdur Razzaq (1/406) No. 1587, Musnad Ahmad (2/246) No.
7352]
When you pray to the grave, you are an idol worshipper like the Buddhist and Hindu. The Prophet
Muhammad (saw) told his cousin Ali to demolish all structures that are built over graves. So when
Shariah comes to a land, all Sufi monuments that are built over graves have to be demolished. The
following Hadith explains further:
Abu'l-Hayyaj al-Asadi told that 'Ali (b. Abu Talib) said to him: Should I not
send you on the same mission as Allah’s Messenger ( )ﷺsent me? Do not
leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It.
This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters
and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it. Sahih Muslim:
Book 4, Hadith 2115
The following Hadith is used by the scholars to refute the extreme Sufis who claim that it is permissible to
go to the grave of the Prophet in times of hardship and pray to him and ask him to remove our suffering:
If it were permissible for Muslims to go to the grave of the Prophet (saw) in times of hardship to pray to
him and ask him to relieve them from their sufferings, Umar would have gone to the grave of the Prophet
(saw) when he suffered a severe drought during his Caliphate.
It is haram for a Muslim to pray in a masjid where a grave is inside of it. Some students of knowledge
asked a panel of scholars about the status of a masjid that has a grave inside of it. Below is the question
of the students and the fatwa of the scholars.
Is it correct to pray in mosques in which there are graves?
Praise be to Allaah.
Prayers should not be offered in mosques in which there are graves. The
graves should be dug up and the remains transferred to the public
graveyards, with each set of remains placed in an individual grave as with all
other graves. It is not permissible for graves to be left in mosques, whether
that is the grave of a wali (“saint”) or of anyone else, because the Messenger
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade that and warned against
that, and he cursed the Jews and Christians for doing that. It was narrated
that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians, for they took the graves of their
Prophets as places of worship.” ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her)
said, “He was warning against what they had done.” Narrated by al-
Bukhaari, 1330, Muslim, 529.
And when Umm Salamah and Umm Habeebah told him about a church in
which there were images, he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: “When a righteous man died among them, they would build a place of
worship over his grave and put those images in it. They are the most evil of
mankind before Allaah.” (Saheeh, agreed upon. Al-Bukhaari, 427; Muslim,
528
The other special characteristic of the Hanbali madhab and the movement of Muhammad ibn Abdul
Wahhab is making takfir on Muslims who abandon salah. The Hanbalis use the following evidences from
Quran and Sunnah to make takfir on lazy Muslims who abandon salah:
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then
they are your brethren in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs,
evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who
know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)
In the above Ayah Allah laid down three conditions for us to accept new reverts into the fold of Islam.
These conditions are tawbah from kufr, salah and zakah. If these three conditions are not met, we
cannot accept them as our brothers in deen. The following three Hadiths explain further that we need to
pray to be Muslims:
Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Between a man
(Muslim) and shirk and disbelief lies neglect of salah.” [Sahih Muslim (1/88)
No. 82, Sunan Tirmidhi (5/13) No. 2620, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/219) No.
4678, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/181) No. 1078, Sunan An-Nasa'i (1/232) No. 463,
Musnad Ahmad (3/370) No. 15021]
Buraidah reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, "The pact between us and
them is prayer. Whoever abandons it is a disbeliever." [Musnad Ahmad
(5/346) No. 22987, Sunan al-Nasa'i (1/231) No. 463, Sunan Tirmidhi (5/13-
14) No. 2621, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/181) No. 1079]
Another issue we have with the Sufis is the wearing of amulets for protection. We, the members of Ahlas
Sunna wal Jamaa'ah, consider this to be shirk. The following Hadiths explain further:
It was narrated that ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Aamir said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “Whoever wears an amulet,
may Allaah not fulfil his need, and whoever wears a sea-shell, may Allaah not
give him peace.” (Narrated by Ahmad, 16951)
A Muslim who wants to be protected by the Holy Quran has to recite it. As for wearing the Quran for
protection, this is a bid'ah and no sahaba did such an action.
Another characteristic of the movement of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab is making takfir on those
leaders who dismantle the shariah. Hence, their enemies label them as wahhabis and takfiris. The
following are some important fatawa of the classical scholars making takfir on the leaders who dislodge
the sharia:
Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: “And it is known from the religion (of Islam) by
necessity and by the consensus of all Muslims that whoever legalizes to
follow other than the religion of Islam or a Shariah other than the Shariah of
Muhammad (SAW), he is a Kaafir. And his kufr is similar to that of the one
who believes in some part of the book (Quran) and reject some of it.”
[Majmua al-Fataawa (28/524)]
Ibn Katheer (rh) said: “Thus, it has become in his sons a followed law to
which they have been giving precedence over ruling by the book of Allah and
the Sunnah of His Messenger (SAW). Whoever does this is a Kaafir who must
be fought until he returns to the rule of Allah and His Messenger. So no one
other than He should rule neither minorly or majorly." [Tafseer Ibn Katheer
(3/131)]
Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen said: "The first type is when the
Hukm of Allah is removed and replaced with another Taghuutee Hukm, so
that the Hukm of the Shari'ah is eliminated between the people and he puts
in its place another Hukm from the fabrication of the humans and they
remove the laws of the Shari'ah concerning the Mu'amalah (i. e. the general
actions between people) and they put in its place fabricated laws and this,
without doubt, is Istib'daal (i. e. replacement) of the Shari'ah of Allah
subhaanahuu wa-ta'ala, with other than it. And this is Kufr which removes
one from the Milla because this person put himself at the level of the Creator
because he shara'a (legislated) for the slaves of Allah that which Allah ta'ala
did not give permission for and that is Shirk in His, ta'ala's saying: "Or have
they partners with Allâh (false gods), who have instituted for them a religion,
which Allâh has not allowed?" (Ash-Shu'ara, 21) – "Fiqh Al-'Ebaadaat", #60
Shaikh 'Abdul-'Azeez Ibn 'Abdullah Ibn Baaz said: "There is no Eeman for the
one who believes the laws of the people and their opinions are superior to
the Hukm of Allah and His Messenger or that they are equal to it or that they
resemble it or who leaves it or replaces it with fabricated laws and
institutions invented by people, even if he believes that the laws of Allah are
more encompassing and more just." [Wujoob Tah'keem Shari'ah Allah' (pg.
16-17)]
Another difference of opinion the Hanbalis have with the Sufis is the practice of visiting monuments and
graves as pilgrims. The Sufis go in thousands all over the world to visit monuments and graves and use
these cites as legitimate places for pilgrims. The Hanbalis are of the view that only three masaajid are
legitimate places for pilgrimage because of the following Hadith:
Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet ( )ﷺsaid, "Do not set out on a journey
except to three Masaajid i.e. Al-Masjid-AI-Haram, the Masjid of Allah’s
Messenger ( )ﷺ, and the Masjid of Al-Aqsa, (Masjid of Jerusalem)." Sahih al-
Bukhari : Vol. 2, Book 21, Hadith 281
It is worthy of mentioning that one salah in Al Masjid Al Haram in Makkah is equal to 100,000 salah. And
one salah in the Prophet's Masjid at Madinah is equal to 1000 salah. And one salah in Masjid of Al-Aqsa at
Jerusalem is equal to 500 salah.
Another characteristic of the Hanbali madhab is that whenever the Prophet (saw) gives an order, it
means fard, mandatory. Some Muslims, like the Mu'tazila, claim that a commandment from the Prophet
(saw) means the act is recommended and not fard. We use the following Hadith to refute their claim:
Barira was a slave who earned her freedom while her husband remained a slave. She was given a choice
to stay with him or move on to marry a man of her new status. Her husband, Mughith, was crying and
begging her to stay with him. The Prophet (saw) suggested she stay with him because of his love for her.
She said to the Prophet (saw) “Are you commanding me?” The Holy Prophet (saw) said “No, I am only
interceding on his behalf”. Upon hearing this, Barira said “I am not in need of him.” and moved on with
her life.
The Hanbalis said the female sahabia knew that if it was a command from the Prophet (saw) she would
be obliged to stay with him because a command from the Prophet means the act becomes mandatory.
Another incident that makes the Hanbali madhab unique is the incident of a man asking the Prophet
(saw) about making wudu after eating camel meat.
Bara bin Aazib (RA) said that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) was asked about
making ablution after eating camel flesh. He said, “Make ablution after that”.
Then he was asked about mutton. He said, “It is not necessary after that.”
[Sunan Dawud (1/47) No. 184, Sunan Tirmidhi (1/122) No. 81, Sunan Ibn
Majah (1/311) No. 494, Musnad Ahmad (4/303) No 18725]
In the Hanbali madhab camel meat breaks wudu because the Prophet (saw) said yes when the man
asked shall I make wudu after eating camel meat. In their view, yes is a command and the action is fard.
However, the other schools of thought believe that to make wudu after eating camel meat is
recommended and not fard. The correct view on this issue, is the stance of the Hanbalis because a
command of the Prophet means the action becomes fard.
Another difference of opinion between the Hanbalis and the Sufis is the concept that Allah descends
every night to the skys of the earth. The Hanbalis believe that Allah descends, while the Sufis believe that
an angel descends on behalf of Allah. The following Hadith explains further:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(SAW) said: "Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to
the earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says:
'Who is saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it? Who is asking something
of Me that I may give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may
forgive him?'" [al-Bukhari (7494) (also by Muslim (758, Malik (619), at-
Tirmidhi (3498 and Abu Dawud (1315)]
Because of the above mentioned Hadith, the Hanbalis believe that Allah descends because an angel
doesn't have the power to forgive us of our sins. In the Hadith, Allah ask “Who is seeking forgiveness so
that I can forgive him?”. If you are asked by a Sufi how does Allah descend, the answer is: He descends
in a way that befits his dignity and majesty.
Another difference of opinion the Hanbalis have with the Sufis is the concept of seeing Allah on the Day
of Resurrection. The Sufis claim that it is impossible to see Allah because Allah said to Musa “Lan
taranee”, you will never see Me (Al-A'raf 7:143).
We, the Hanbalis believe that we cannot see Allah in the dunya like Allah said in the above Ayah,
however, we will see Allah in the hereafter and we have evidences from Quran and Sunnah to prove this
fact. Hence, Allah said:
There they will have all that they desire, and We have more (for them, i.e. a
glance at the All-Mighty, All-Majestic). (Qaf 50:35)
Some faces that Day shall be Nadirah (shining and radiant). Looking at their
Lord (Allah); (Al-Qiyamah 75:22-23)
Narrated By Abu Huraira: The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Shall we see
our Lord on the Day of Resurrection?" He replied, "Do you have any doubt in
seeing the full moon on a clear (not cloudy) night?" They replied, "No, O
Allah's Apostle!" He said, "Do you have any doubt in seeing the sun when
there are no clouds?" They replied in the negative. He said, “You will see
Allah (your Lord) in the same way. [al-Bukhari (770) and Muslim (352)]
Q: asalam alekum shaikh why did the followers of muhammad ibn abdul
wahab fight against the ottoman caliphate, did they see it as legitimate if
they were not why did they fight against them?
The Caliphate of the Ottoman Empire became corrupted with Sufism. And with Sufism they abandoned al
wala al bara. Every Caliphate will crumble the moment they get involved with Sufism or irja because
these two groups are a cancer in the body of the Ummah.
It is always best to read a translation which is approved by the Ulama of Najd. This is so because a
translation which is done by the Sufis would be embellished. Hence, you are not allowed to trust their
translation. Sufis are known to embellish the works of the classical scholars by adding a lot of weak and
fabricated Hadiths to their writings. They did exactly this to the work of Imam Dahabi. Imam Dahabi
wrote a book called al Kabaa'ir i.e. The Major Sins, 80% of the Hadiths in this book were added by the
Sufis and they are either weak or fabricated.
Q: what kind of hujjah can be provided for those who say aqeedah is nor
important and tawheed is bidah because the word aqeedah is not found in
the Quran.
The people who say aqeeda is not important, we say to them fear Allah and stop misguiding
unsuspecting Muslims and we remind them that the Prophet (saw) spent 13 years in Makkah teaching his
sahabas aqeeda alone. Also, we remind them that the Prophet told Mu'adh ibn Jabbar, when he sent him
to Yemen, that he should begin his dawah with the tawheed of Allah.
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to
him, "You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the
first thing to which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they learn
that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in
one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on
them Zakat of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them
and given to the poor. And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakat
but avoid the best property of the people." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93,
Hadith #469] BukharI (9/98 Hadith: 7372)

pray to Allah to make me of those whose Duas are directly accepted.” Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi
Wasallam replied: “O Anas, keep your earnings Halaal and pure and your Duas will be accepted

I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say: "Actions are (judged) by motives
(niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah

some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might marry, his migration is to that for which
he migrated." [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
BATTLE OF BADR
-the people of darul Islam and darul harb
-Abu Jahl was the commander for the Makkkans
-the Rasool commanded Madinah (on the 17th of Ramadan)
-he said, "if you allow this small band to be destroyed,
-you will never be worshipped on this earth"
-the battle between BAUTIL and HAQQ
-the BATTLE OF TRUTH
-Abu Jahl also made a dua ... did he prayed to Allah,
-"if I was good to my family, give me victory"
And (remember) when Shaitan (Satan) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said, "No one
of mankind can overcome you this Day (of the battle of Badr) and verily, I am your neighbour (for
each and every help)." But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said
Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily! I fear Allah for Allah is
Severe in punishment."(8:48)
"I FEAR ALLAH" - the shaitan said this and it was a lie; many people say it but don't mean it
-he worships his evil and corrupted desires
Allah) said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?"
Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from

Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (Devil - Satan) is ever
ungrateful to his Lord.(17:27)
Did you realize that Allah tala used the word, KAAFIR to mean UNGRATEFUL
-kaafirs are ungrateful: they use us and then dump us
-they use us for contacts, money, s-x (zina)

INGRATIATE = means to make someone fall in love w/ you and trust you
-you see someone w/ something you want, so you make them get close to you
-afterward, they get what they want and dump us
-this word is used in psychology everyday

lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer. (17:1)
Abu Hurairah said about our beloved Prophet: “On the night Allah’s apostle was taken to the
journey (Al-Isra Wal-Miraaj), two cups, one containing wine and the other milk, were presented to
him at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the cup of milk. Gabriel said “Praise be to Allah who
guided you to Al-Fitrah (the right path) if you had taken the cup of wine, your nation would have
gone astray.” (Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol.7 pg.338)
The Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said: “Allah will never allow my
Ummah to unite upon misguidance and incorrect beliefs. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection
are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims
will be thrown into Hell.” (Tirmidhi)
"Our Lord! And make us submissive unto You and of our offspring a nation submissive unto You,

IF YOU THINK ALLAH WILL NOT REMOVE YOUR DIRE STRAITS: HE WON'T
As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and gifts, then he says (puffed up): "My
Lord has honoured me."16. But when He tries him, by straitening his means of life, he says: "My
Lord has humiliated me!"(89-15,16)
And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns

And who turns away from the religion of Ibrahim (Abraham) (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) except him

IBRAHIM WAS NEITHER A JEW OR CHRISTIAN BUT HE WAS A TRUE / UPRIGHT MUSLIM
-he was not a pagan
Ibrahim (Abraham) was neither a Jew nor a Christian, but he was a true Muslim Hanifa (Islamic
Monotheism - to worship none but Allah Alone) and he was not of Al-Mushrikun (3:67)
Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrahim (Abraham) and those with him,
when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides
Allah, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for
ever, until you believe in Allah Alone," (60:4)
IBRAHIM'S RELIGION IS KUFR BIT TAGHOOT / MONOTHEISM / LOVING AND HATING FOR THE
SAKE OF ALLAH
-this is what's known as MILLAT IBRAHIM
-it's beautifully written
-nothing to deserves to be worshipped beside Allah
-to reject faith in false deities

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong
path. Whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah, then he has grasped the most
trustworthy handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (2:256)
TO BELIEVE IN ALLAH IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU A MUSLIM: YOU MUST REJECT THE
TAGHOOT
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of
Taghut (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the
plot of Shaitan (Satan).(4:76)
THE BELIEVERS FIGHT FOR ALLAH AND THE INFIDELS FIGHT FOR THE TAGHOOT
AL WALAA WAL BARAA STUNNED SO MANY MULANAS WHO NEVER HEARD THIS OR FIQHUL

The best of the actions is to love for the sake of Allah and to hate for the sake of Allah. Abu
Dawud 40:4582
And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) after the right path has
been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers' way. We shall keep him in the
path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination. (4:115)
Dua: The Weapon of a Believer
DUA: THE WEAPON OF A BELIEVER
Download: https://archive.org/details/DuaTheWeaponOfABeliever
Nu’man ibn Bashir (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, “The supplication is
itself worship.” Then he recited. And your Lord says, “Call upon Me, and I shall
answer you. Surely those who are too arrogant to worship Me, they shall enter
Hell, disgraced.” (40: 60) [Tirmidhi (5/456) No. 3372, Abu Dawud (2/76) No. 1479,
Ibn Majah (5/5) No. 3828, Ahmad (4/271) No. 18410]
- You are not allowed to offer your dua to anyone except Allah
- Allah refers to those who offer duas to other than Allah as kaafirs
- Allah labelled them as liars and kaafirs
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And
those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say): "We worship
them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between
them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a
liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
- Allah told us in the Quran that those who pray to the graves are worshipping the
graves
- There should be no doubt in your heart that they are kaafirs
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they
were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of
Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you
(O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the AllKnower (of each and
everything). (Fatir 35:14)
- Allah says on Judgment Day they are going to deny their worshipping of them on the
Day of Judgment.
- The Prophet said the grave is an idol that people worship
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol that is
worshipped. The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets as places
of prostration was terrible." [Muwatta Malik (1/223) No. 570, Musannaf Abdur
Razzaq (1/406) No. 1587, Musnad Ahmad (2/246) No. 7352]
- The reason why this lecture is called Dua, the weapon of the believer, is because dua
changes Qadr.
"Nothing could change the Qadar except Du`a’." [Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 5, Hadith
no. 277; Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Vol. 3, Hadith no. 139]
It was narrated from Thawban that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Nothing
increases one's life span except righteousness and nothing repels the Divine
decree except supplication, and a man may be deprived of provision by a sin that
he commits."' [Sunan Ibn Majah (5/152) No. 4022, Musnad Ahmad (5/277) No.
22440, Mustadrak al-Haakim (1/670) No. 1814, Sahih Ibn Hibban (3/153) No. 872, al-
Sunan al-Kubra al-Nasa'i (10/380) No. 11775]
- Another reason why this lecture is called Dua, the weapon of the believer, is because
the prophet said that dua is the noblest deed one can perform
The third reason is because whenever you make a dua Allah gives you one of three
things:
It was narrated from Abu Saeed (RA) that the Prophet (SAW) said: “There is no
Muslim who does not offer any Dua in which there is no sin or severing of family
ties but Allah will give him one of three things in return: either He will answer his
Dua sooner, or he will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or He will divert an
equivalent evil away from him because of it.” They said: “We will say a lot of
Dua.” The Prophet (SAW) said: “Allah is more generous.” [Musnad Ahmad (3/18)
No. 11149, Mustadrak al-Haakim (1/670) No. 1816, Adaab al-Mufrad al-Bukhari
(1/264) No. 710, Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaiba (10/201) No. 29780, Musnad Abi Ya'la
(2/296) No. 1019, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-Tabarani (4/337) No. 4368]
The Prophet had said: "Nothing is more honourable to Allah the Most High than
du`a." [Sahih al-Jami` No.5268]
There is nothing nobler to Allah than Du‘a. [Recorded in Tirmidi, Ibn Maja, Ibn
Habban and Hakim narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah. Also cited in Tahzib al-
Kamil, Vol. 4, Page 309]
On the authority of Anas (RA), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
say: "Allah the Almighty said: 'O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and
ask of Me, I shall forgive you for what you have done, and I shall not mind. [At-
Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal). Its chain of authorities is sound]
“Whoever does not call on Allaah, Allaah will be angry with him.” (Reported by al-
Tirmidhi, Kitaab al-Da’waat, 1/426; classed as hasan in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 2686)
And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts) said:
"Allah and His Messenger (SAW) promised us nothing but delusions!" (Al-Ahzab
33:12)
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger having said: “By Him in Whose Hand is
my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence
and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit sin and seek
forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.” [Sahih Muslim
(4/2106) No. 2749]
- People in the city of Zaria were shocked when shaikh quoted this hadith
And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad) concerning Me, then (answer them),
I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the
supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them
obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright. (Al-Baqarah 2:186)
Allah blots out what He wills and confirms (what He wills). And with Him is the
Mother of the Book (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz) (Ra'd 13:39)
- The tafsir of this verse is your dua wipes out calamities that are written to befall you
- There is no other tafsir
- You dua is so powerful it changes qadr and nothing else can change qadr
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA), who said that the Messenger of Allah
(SAW) said: "Our Lord (glorified and exalted be He) descends each night to the
earth's sky when there remains the final third of the night, and He says: 'Who is
saying a prayer to Me that I may answer it? Who is asking something of Me that I
may give it him? Who is asking forgiveness of Me that I may forgive him?'" [al-
Bukhari (7494) (also by Muslim (758), Malik (619), at-Tirmidhi (3498) and Abu
Dawud (1315)]. In a version by Muslim the Hadith ends with the words: "And thus
He continues till [the light of] dawn shines."
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday and
said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat
(prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely
meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (SAW) pointed out the shortness of that
particular time with his hands. [Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 13, Hadith 57;
Bukhari, Vol 2 Book 11 Hadith 59]
The most authentic of these is where Jâbir relates that the Prophet (peace be
upon him) said: “Friday is comprised of twelve hours. There is one in which a
Muslim who asks Allah for something will have it granted to him. Seek it in the
last hour after `Asr.” [Sunan Abî Dâwûd (1048), Sunan al-Nasâ’î (1389)
and Mustadrak al-Hâkim (1032)]
- Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the
mosque on Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs)
- Whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until
the Maghrib prayer)
- Allah knows best
Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported from his father who from his grandfather that the
Prophet (SAW) said, “The best of supplication is the supplication on the day of
Arafah. And the best of what I said - I and the Prophets before me is: ،ُ ﻻَ إِﻟَﮫَ إِ ﱠﻻ ﱠ
ٌ ﺷ ْﻲءٍ ﻗَد
ِﯾر َ َوھ َُو،ُ ﻟَﮫُ اﻟ ُﻣ ْﻠكُ َوﻟَﮫُ اﻟ َﺣ ْﻣد،ُ" َوﺣْ َد ُه ﻻَ ﺷ َِرﯾكَ ﻟَﮫLaa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa
َ ﻋﻠَﻰ ُﻛ ِّل
shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer"
(There is no God but Allah Who is Alone. He has no partner. To Him belongs the
dominion and to Him belongs all praise And He is over all things
powerful). [Sunan Tirmidhi (5/572) No. 3585]
It was narrated that 'Uqbah bin 'Amir said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
say: 'Your Lord is pleased with a shepherd high in the mountains who calls the
Adhan for the prayer and prays. Allah says: 'Look at this slave of Mine; he calls
the Adhan and Iqamah for the prayer and fears Me. I have forgiven My slave and
admitted him to Paradise.'" [Sunan al-Nasa'i (2/20) No. 666]
Anas (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'A supplication made
between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.' [Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-
Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih
(sound)]
Jaber (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: 'Zamzam water is for
what it is drunk for.' [Ahmad Vol: 3 Hadith 357; Sunan Ibn Majah Volume 1 Book
25 Hadith 3062 & Book 25 Hadith 3178]. This means that when you drink
Zamzam water you may ask Allah (SWT) for anything you like to gain
or benefit from this water such as healing from illness, etc.
- The hadith that says that when you love Zam Zam you are free from hypocrisy is
fabricated.
Narrated Abu Omamah (RA): that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) was asked, O
Messenger of Allah, which supplication is heard (by Allah (SWT), he said the end
of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat (prayer) [At-Tirmidhi; Riyadh Us
Saleheen Chapter 252 Hadith 1500] This time is after saying 'At-tahyat', and
before making Tasleem (finishing prayer)
- If you pray behind the imams of makka and Madina they will never make a dua after
the tasleem.
Indeed, We sent the Qur'an down during the Night of Decree. (Al-Qadr 97:1) Sahih
International
And what can make you know what is the Night of Decree? (Al-Qadr 97:2) Sahih
International
The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months (Al-Qadr 97:3) Sahih
International
This night is the greatest night of the year. This is the night which the almighty
Allah (SWT) said about it, "The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a
thousand months." [Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3]
Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: 'Two will
not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and
at the time of the rain'. [Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah]
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: The Prophet sent Mu'adh to Yemen and said, "Fear the
supplication of the oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah." [al-
Bukhari (1496) and Muslim (19)]
“Allaahumma innee a’oodhu bika min sharri maa ‘amiltu wa min sharri maa lam
a’mal (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done and the
evil of what I have not done).”“Allaahumma haasibni hisaaban yaseeran (O
Allaah, make my accounting easy).”
Narrated Faddalah ibn Ubayd (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
'When anyone of you makes du'a, let him start by glorifying his Lord and praising
Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW), then let him pray for
whatever he wants' [abu Dawud #1481, at-Tirmidhi #3477]
Amr bin Malik Al-Janbi narrated that he heard Fadalah bin Ubaid saying: “The
Prophet heard a man supplicating in his Salat but he did not send Salat upon the
Prophet, so the Prophet said: ‘This one has rushed.’ Then he called him and said
to him, or to someone othat than him: ‘When one of you performs Salat, then let
him begin by expressing gratitude to Allah and praising Him. Then, let him send
Salat upon the Prophet, then let him supplicate after that, whatever he
wishes.’” [Abu Dawud: (1481) Book 8 Hadith 1476 & (Book 8 Hadith 66), At-Tirmidhi:
Volume 6 Book 45 Hadith #3477]
- When the prophet said let him send peace and blessings on the Prophet he was
talking about the tasha'hhud and that you should make your dua after it.
The Prophet (SAW) saying: 'When Ramadan comes, the Doors of Mercy (another
narration says Paradise) are opened, and the doors of Hell are closed, and the
Shaitans are locked up' Thus, it is clear that du'a during Ramadan has a greater
chance of being accepted, as the Gates of Paradise and Mercy are opened. [Sahih
al-Bukhari #1899, Muslim #1079 and others]
The prophet (SAW) declared, 'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah)
are: when a fasting person breaks fast (in another narration, the fasting person
until he breaks his fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.' [Ahmad, at-
Tirmidhi - Hasan]

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘As that the Messenger of Allah
said: “When the fasting person breaks his fast, his supplication is not turned
back.” [Sunan Ibn Majah Volume 1 Book 7 Hadith 1753; Sunan Ibn Majah Book 7
Hadith 1825]
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good)
which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. "Our
Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a
burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our
Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us
and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Suppor-
ter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people."(Al-
Baqarah 2:286)
Narrated Sahl ibn Sa'd: The Prophet said: Two (prayers) are not rejected, or
seldom rejected: Prayer at the time of the call to prayer, and (the prayer) at the
time of fighting, when the people grapple with each other. Musa said: Rizq ibn
Sa'id ibn AbdurRahman reported from AbuHazim on the authority of Sahl ibn Sa'd
from the Prophet as saying: And while it is raining. [Sunan Abu Dawud: (2540) &
Sunan Abu Dawud: Book 14, Hadith 2534} & (Book 15 Hadith 64)]
The prophet (SAW) declared, 'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah)
are: when a fasting person breaks fast (in another narration, the fasting person
until he breaks his fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.' [Ahmad, at-
Tirmidhi - Hasan]
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Three men from
among those who were before you, set out together till they reached a cave at
night and entered it. A big rock rolled down the mountain and closed the mouth
of the cave. They said (to each other), Nothing could save you Tom this rock but
to invoke Allah by giving referenda to the righteous deed which you have done
(for Allah's sake only).' So, one of them said, 'O Allah! I had old parents and I
never provided my family (wife, children etc.) with milk before them. One day, by
chance I was delayed, and I came late (at night) while they had slept. I milked the
sheep for them and took the milk to them, but I found them sleeping. I disliked to
provide my family with the milk before them. I waited for them and the bowl of
milk was in my hand and I kept on waiting for them to get up till the day dawned.
Then they got up and drank the milk. O Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only,
please relieve us from our critical situation caused by this rock.' So, the rock
shifted a little but they could not get out."
The Prophet added, "The second man said, 'O Allah! I had a cousin who was the
dearest of all people to me and I wanted to have sexual relations with her but she
refused. Later she had a hard time in a famine year and she came to me and I
gave her one-hundred-and-twenty Dinars on the condition that she would not
resist my desire, and she agreed. When I was about to fulfil my desire, she said: It
is illegal for you to outrage my chastity except by legitimate marriage. So, I
thought it a sin to have sexual intercourse with her and left her though she was
the dearest of all the people to me, and also I left the gold I had given her. O
Allah! If I did that for Your Sake only, please relieve us from the present calamity.'
So, the rock shifted a little more but still they could not get out from there."
The Prophet added, "Then the third man said, 'O Allah! I employed few labourers
and I paid them their wages with the exception of one man who did not take his
wages and went away. I invested his wages and I got much property thereby.
(Then after some time) he came and said to me: O Allah's slave! Pay me my
wages. I said to him: All the camels, cows, sheep and slaves you see, are yours.
He said: O Allah's slave! Don't mock at me. I said: I am not mocking at you. So, he
took all the herd and drove them away and left nothing. O Allah! If I did that for
Your Sake only, please relieve us from the present suffering.' So, that rock shifted
completely and they got out walking.
Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'There is not one of
you that makes wudu, and does it perfectly, then says: I testify that there is no
diety worthy of worship except Allah. He is Alone, having no partners. And I bear
witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger', except that the eight gates
of Paradise are opened for him, and he can enter into it through whichever one he
pleases' [Muslim #234, abu Dawud #162, Ahmad, an-Nasa'i]
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'When you hear a
rooster crowing, then ask Allah for His bounties, for it has seen an angel, and
when you hear a donkey braying, then seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, for it
has seen a Shaitan' [Sahih al-Bukhari Volume; 4 Book 54 Hadith: 522 & Muslim:
Book 48 Hadith 112 & Book 35 Chapter 19 Hadith 6581]
Narrated Abu Qatada Al-Aslami: Allah's Messenger said, "If anyone of you enters
a mosque, he should pray two rak`at before sitting." [Sahih Al Bukhari (444) &
Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 1 Book 8 Hadith 435]
Abu Usaid reported that the Messenger of Allah said: When any one of you enters
the mosque, he should say:" O Allah! open for me the doors of Thy mercy" ; and
when he steps out he should say: 'O Allah! I beg of Thee Thy Grace." [Muslim
Book 6 Hadith 82; Muslim: Book 4 Hadith 1538]
The ulama brought evidence that Allah will answer the dua of the kuffaar
And when they board a ship, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in religion.
But when He delivers them to the land, at once they associate others with
Him (Al-’Ankabut 29:65)
These kuffaar when their ship was going to capsize, did not call upon idols
- they called on Allah Alone to save them
- they broke their word when they got back to land
- they worshipped idols
- this shows that Allah will answer the dua of a kaafir
- this comes with the condition that they do not worship other than Allah
- they did not call upon a false deity when they were on the ship
He said, "My Lord, then reprieve me until the Day they are resurrected."
[Allah] said, "So indeed, you are of those reprieved (Al-Hijr 15:36-37)
They said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive
us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers." (Al-A’raf
7:23)
- he made the dua because he saw that no one was going to believe
- only 80 believed
- Allah told Noah their hearts were sealed
- then Allah sent the flood and destroyed them
- Allah told Nuh that no one else will believe in his message in the following ayah
And it was inspired to Nuh (Noah): "None of your people will believe except
those who have believed already. So be not sad because of what they used to
do. (Hud 11:36)
i. When he begged Allah to bless Makkah and make it a city of safety and
security
And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and
provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last
Day." [Allah] said. "And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment for
a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the Fire, and wretched is
the destination." (Al-Baqarah 2:126)
Have they not seen that We made [Makkah] a safe sanctuary, while people
are being taken away all around them? Then in falsehood do they believe,
and in the favor of Allah they disbelieve? (Al-’Ankabut 29:67)
Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from themselves who will
recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and purify
them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." (Al-Baqarah 2:129)
So he watered [their flocks] for them; then he went back to the shade and
said, "My Lord, indeed I am, for whatever good You would send down to me,
in need." (Al-Qasas 28:24)
And [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought
that We would not decree [anything] upon him. And he called out within the
darknesses, "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have
been of the wrongdoers." (Al-Anbiya 21:87)
Abdullah Ibn Rafi', the freed slave of Umm Salamah said I heard Abu
Hurayrah narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “When Allah wanted
to keep Yunus in the belly of the whale, He revealed to the whale. He said,
“Take him inside but do not eat his flesh nor break his bones.” When the
whale went down to the depth of the sea, Yunus heard a voice, he said to
himself, “What is this?” Then Allah revealed to him, while he was inside the
whale’s belly, that it was glorification of the sea animals. Then while in that
state, Yunus also glorified Allah, which was heard by the angels.
They then said, "O our Lord, we heard a very weak voice coming from
unusual land.” Allah said, “That is My slave Yunus, he disobeyed me, so I
detained him inside a whale in the sea.” They said, “Is he the pious slave
from whom the good deeds ascended to You everyday and night?” Allah
replied, “Yes”. So the angels then pleaded on his behalf, so Allah ordered the
whale to throw him out on the shore.” [Tafseer al-Tabari (18/518), Tafseer
Ibn Abi Hatim (10/3227) No. 18278, Musnad al-Bazzar (15/34) No. 8227 and
Tafseer Ibn Katheer (5/367)]
And had he not been of those who exalt Allah, he would have remained
inside its belly until the Day they are resurrected. (As-Saffat 37:143-144)
Then has there not been a [single] city that believed so its faith benefited it
except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the
punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time.
(Yunus 10:98)
So [Solomon] smiled, amused at her speech, and said, "My Lord, enable me
to be grateful for Your favor which You have bestowed upon me and upon my
parents and to do righteousness of which You approve. And admit me by
Your mercy into [the ranks of] Your righteous servants." (An-Naml 27:19)
Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "When a man
dies, his deeds come to an end, except for three: (1) A continuous charity, (2)
knowledge by which people derive benefit, (3) pious son who prays for him."
[Adab al-Mufrad al-Bukhari No. 38, Muslim (3/1255) No. 1631, Abu Dawud
(3/117) No. 2880, al-Nasa'i (6/251) No. 3651, Tirmidhi (3/660) No. 1376, al-
Darime (1/148) No. 559, Ahmad (2/372) No. 8831]
- it proves you should always beg Allah to let you be in the company of the righteous
- Allah told you the good company to keep
And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger - those will be with the ones
upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers
of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as
companions. (An-Nisa 4:69)
Oh, woe to me! I wish I had not taken that one as a friend. (Al-Furqan 25:28)
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the
righteous (Az-Zukhruf 43:67)
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “A man is on
the religion of his friend, so let each of you observe whom he befriends.”
[Sunan Tirmidhi (4/589) No. 2378, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/259) No. 4833,
Musnad Ahmad (2/334) No. 8398]
Say, "What would my Lord care for you if not for your supplication?" For you
[disbelievers] have denied, so your denial is going to be adherent. (Al-Furqan
25:77)
On the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) the Messenger of Allah (SAW) used to

that is of no benefit, a heart which is not submissive, a soul which has an
insatiable appetite, and a supplication which is not heard). [Musnad Ahmad
(2/340) No. 8469, Sunan Abu Dawud (2/92) No. 1548, Sunan al-Nasa'i
(8/263) No. 5467, Sunan Ibn Majah (5/11) No. 3837]
1) Maybe he is eating and drinking haraam and his clothes are haraam
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA) who said: The Messenger of Allah
(SAW) said: …“Then he (SAW) mentioned [the case] of a man who, having
journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the
sky saying "O Lord! O Lord!," while his food is haram (unlawful), his drink is
haram, his clothing is haram, and he has been nourished with haram, so how
can [his supplication] be answered?”[Sahih Muslim (2/703) No. 1015]
What comes to you of good is from Allah, but what comes to you of evil, [O
man], is from yourself. And We have sent you, [O Muhammad], to the people
as a messenger, and sufficient is Allah as Witness. (An-Nisa 4:79)
And recite to them the story of Adam's two sons, in truth, when they both
offered a sacrifice [to Allah], and it was accepted from one of them but was
not accepted from the other. Said [the latter], "I will surely kill you." Said
[the former], "Indeed, Allah only accepts from the righteous [who fear Him].
(Al-Ma’idah 5:27)
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There may be
a fasting person who gets nothing more from his fast than hunger and thirst,
and there may be a person who prays qiyaam and all he gets from his qiyaam
is a sleepless night.” [Musnad Ahmad (2/373) No. 8843, Sunan Ibn Majah
(2/591) No. 1690, Sunan al-Darime (2/390) No. 2720, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah
(3/242) No. 1997]
6) You have no sabr (patience) when making dua you are too hasty
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Each of you
will be answered as long as he does not become over-impatient, saying, ‘I
called on my Lord and He did not answer me.’” [al-Bukhari (6340) and
Muslim (2735)]
O you who have believed, if you support Allah, He will support you and plant
firmly your feet. (Muhammad 47:7)
- you want Allah to be kind to you, but you do not want to be kind to others?
On the authority of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said,
"A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor
should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his
brother, Allah will fulfil his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out
of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of
Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the
Day of Resurrection." [al-Bukhari (2442) and Muslim (2580)]
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA), that the Prophet (SAW) said:
Whoever removes a worldly grief from a believer, Allah will remove from him
one of the griefs of the Day of Resurrection. And whoever alleviates the need
of a needy person, Allah will alleviate his needs in this world and the
Hereafter. Whoever shields [or hides the misdeeds of] a Muslim, Allah will
shield him in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah will aid His slave so long
as he aids his brother. And whoever follows a path to seek knowledge
therein, Allah will make easy for him a path to Paradise. No people gather
together in one of the Houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and
studying it among themselves, except that sakeenah (tranquility) descends
upon them, and mercy envelops them, and the angels surround them, and
Allah mentions them amongst those who are with Him. And whoever is
slowed down by his actions, will not be hastened forward by his lineage.
[Sahih Muslim (4/2074) No. 2699, Sunan Tirmidhi (5/195) No. 2945, Sunan
Ibn Majah (1/152) No. 225, Musnad Ahmad (2/252) No. 7421]
8) Maybe you were not hopeful when you made the dua
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA), who said that the Prophet (SAW)
said: "Allah the Almighty said: 'I am as My servant thinks I am..." [al-Bukhari
(7405) also by Muslim (2675), at-Tirmidhi (2388) and Ibn Majah (3822)]
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “None of you
should say, ‘O Allah, forgive me if You will. O Allah, have mercy on me if You
will.’ He should be firm in his asking. No one can force Him.” [al-Bukhari
(6339) and Muslim (2679)]
In a variant of Muslim, “He should be firm and should have great desire.
Nothing is too great for Allah Almighty to give him.” [Sahih Muslim (4/2063)
No. 2679]
O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of
relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the
disbelieving people." (Yusuf 12:87)
In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them
is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie. (Al-Baqarah
2:10)
10) You did not enjoin the right and forbid the wrong
And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you
exclusively, and know that Allah is severe in penalty. (Al-Anfal 8:25)
On the authority of Abu Umar who said: Allah sent two angels to destroy a
township with a natural disaster, but when they got there they found a man
praying in the mosque. They went back to Allah and said: 'O Allah we found a
man praying in the mosque.' Allah said to the two angels: 'Go back and
destroy the township with that man as well because not once did he ever
frown when he saw the people indulging in haram.' [Ibnul Qayyim, al-
Jawaab al-Kaafi (Vol. 1, pg. 46)]
Bismillah...
Did I not ordain for you, O Children of Adam, that you should not worship Shaitan (Satan). Verily,
he is a plain enemy to you. (Ya-Sin 36:60)
And thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in
detail, that the way of the Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists, sinners), may become manifest. (Al-
An'am 6:55)
O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion [(to judge
between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)],
and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty.
(Al-Anfal 8:29)
And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allah, while he is being invited
to Islam? And Allah guides not the people who are Zalimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers and
disbelievers) folk. (As-Saff 61:7)
So, the first web of Satan is to take away our furqan w/ his own religion,
Relativism
2. INTEGRATIONISM
-when Shaikh was in the UK, he heard that everyone
-who comes to the UK integrate into society
-except for the Muslims
-but the shaitan wants you to go to the pub and drink alcohol w/ you
-he wants you to become a part of kaafir culture
-he wants your son to be gay and your daughter to commit zina
-he doesn't want you to have the moral high-ground
-if you don't become like him, you'll be able to point a finger
-down @ him (he doesn't want that)
-he begs you to integrate into their society
And the answer of his people was only that they said: "Drive them out of your town; these are
indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!" (Al-A'raf 7:82)
The kuffaar have the same mentality as the People of Prophet Lut
-these kuffaar are jealous of our taqwa (piety)
-they say we've failed their citizen's test so they deny your VISA
Countries that ban homosexuality risk losing aid, warns David Cameron:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2011/oct/30/ban-homosexuality-lose-aid-cameron
When you have a coin, but on both sides of the coin are faces
-both are white faces (gora)
-so don't expect any change
-he doesn’t' want your daughter to wear niqaab, hijab, abaya
-they want her walking around in a mini-skirt
-so men can see the design of her body
-covering Muslimahs show they are refusing to integrate
'Burka martyr' faces two years in French jail after wearing veil:
http://www.metro.co.uk/news/884784-burka-martyr-faces-two-years-in-french-jail-after-wearing-veil
-she veiled herself and refusing to integrate may cost her 2 years in jail
-the white kaafir is evil personified
-(white and black niqabis though walk around Jamaica w/o any harassment)
-they use their media to say bad things about Muslims
-and begin Islamaphobia
-they try ethnic cleansing against us because we refuse to integrate
-the gora doesn't tolerate righteousness
-when there is a disaster, they assume it's the Muslims who did it
-such as bombing in Oklahoma, US (but done by 7th Day Adventist)
-and the one who shot people in Holland (it was a gora)
-the media never says we were too quick to point the finger at you
-because they have the disease of pride in their heart
3. RACISM
-the Shaitan was the 1st racist
-he refused to bow down to Adam because he thought he was better (made from fire)
-but Adam was made from clay
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes,
that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer)
who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Aware. (Al-Hujurat 49:13)
O mankind! Lo! We have created you from male and female, and have made you nations and
tribes that ye may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in
conduct. Lo! Allah is Knower, Aware. (al-Hujraat 49:13)
And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry (other)
women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly
(with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is
nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. (An-Nisa 4:3)
(Allah) said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?"
Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay."
(Al-A'raf 7:12)
ENVY - RELATIVISM - RATIONALISM - JEALOUSY – RACISM = these are all from the Shaitan
Our deen is not by logic: "'Ali observed, "If the religion was based on opinion, the bottom of the
sock would take preference in being wiped to the top of the sock." (Related by Abu Dawud and ad-
Daraqutni with a hassan or sahih chain.)"
4. RATIONALISM
Shaikh in University
-when Shaikh was taught there are rivers of wine in Paradise,
-his aql told him how can this be?
-he assumed the wine in Paradise was the same as the wine in the dunya
-it makes you do stupid things on earth but in Paradise,
-it will not make you drunk
Shaikh spoke w/ a man who earned 50,000 pounds per year
-this man signs contracts by drinking wine
-(because people are in a happy mood, so the do not hesitate to sign)
-so wine in the dunya helps you be deceitful
When a man drinks and then kills in the UK, he confesses to murder
-so Scotland Yard goes to pubs when they investigate murders
The description of the Paradise which the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2): have been promised! -
Underneath it rivers flow, its provision is eternal and so is its shade, this is the end (final
destination) of the Muttaqûn (pious - see V.2:2), and the end (final destination) of the disbelievers
is Fire. (See Verse 47:15) (Ra'd 13:35)
5. COURTEOUS
-he uses courtesy to hide treachery
-some speech is magic
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying : "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity
and to a kingdom that will never waste away?" (Ta-Ha 20:120)
On that Allah's Apostle said. ‘Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.' (Sahih Al-Bukhari,
Volume 7, Book 71, Number 662)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sad ibn Zurara that he
had heard that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, killed one
of her slave-girls who had used sorcery against her. She was a mudabbara. Hafsa gave the order,
and she was killed. [Malik Muwatta, Book 43, Number 43.19.14]
They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of
Allah. Verily, evil is what they used to do. (Al-Munafiqun 63:2)
They make their faith a pretext so that they may turn (men) from the way of Allah. Verily evil is that
which they are wont to do, (63:2)
Every soul tastes death; we all lie but the shaitan said WALLAHI ....
Imran bin Hussein said Allah Apostle (saw) said: “The best of my followers are those living in my
generation (i.e. my contemporaries) and then those who will follow them and then those who will
follow them” (Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol. 5 pg.2 No.2)
Verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) will die and verily, they (too) will die. (Az-Zumar 39:30)
They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of
Allah. Verily, evil is what they used to do. (Al-Munafiqun 63:2)
7. GENOCIDE
The gora gave Apache Indians small pox virus and went to bed v
-ery good afterward, w/o any guilt
And thus do We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) in
detail, that the way of the Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists, sinners), may become manifest. (Al-
An'am 6:55)
8. DARWINISM
-man is created from monkeys is their theory
-if monkeys were our fathers, why are the DNA totally different?
-we can't give blood to monkeys or them to us
-Christians oppose Darwinism and atheism and
-we're permitted to unite w/ them against atheism
Omar used Christians to fight fire-worshippers
-these were Arab Christians who said I am ARAB first and Christians, next
-in Lebanon Christians unite w/ the ummah against JEWS and SHIITES
Verily, I will mislead them, and surely, I will arouse in them false desires; and certainly, I will order
them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah."
And whoever takes Shaitan (Satan) as a Wali (protector or helper) instead of Allah, has surely
suffered a manifest loss. (An-Nisa 4:119)
9. ATHEISM
How to check-make a person who believes in Atheism:
-why can't we give blood to monkeys and them give it to us
-their DNA is different from ours
-we have different DNA and fingerprints
10. AGNOSTIC
-these people say MAYBE there is a God
-you can't be a Muslim agnostic
-because our Shahadah says "La illah illa Allah"
-we must know what La illah illa Allah means
-we must be certain of it
-we need to believe w/ our heart and testify w/ our tongue
-then surrender our life to Quran and Sunnah
-single out Allah for our devotion
-al walaa wal baraa :: love what He loves and hate what He hates
In the heart of the kaafir is alike and they have hearts full of doubts
In their hearts is a disease (of doubt and hypocrisy) and Allah has increased their disease. A
painful torment is theirs because they used to tell lies. (Al-Baqarah 2:10)
And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'an) that when you hear the Verses of
Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than
that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will
collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell, (An-Nisa 4:140)
-it puts more doubts in your mind of things you knew were true
-when you stun an animal w/ electricity, they become confused.com
-same thing happens when we go to dodgy rooms
-Shaikh has been there hearing nothing but kufr
-he felt sorry for the young Muslims
-who had no basis for their new faith
And marry not women whom your fathers married, except what has already passed; indeed it was
shameful and most hateful, and an evil way. (An-Nisa 4:22)
Yahya related to me from Malik from Muhammad ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Sad ibn Zurara that he
had heard that Hafsa, the wife of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, killed one
of her slave-girls who had used sorcery against her. She was a mudabbara. Hafsa gave the order,
and she was killed. [Malik Muwatta, Book 43, Number 43.19.14]
Narrated By Al-Bara' ibn Azib: I met my uncle who was carrying a standard. I asked him: Where
are you going? He said: The Apostle of Allah (pbuh) has sent me to a man who has married his
father's wife. He has ordered me to cut off his head and take his property. [Abu Dawud, Book 33,
Hadith #4442]
-when the girl did black magic, she was killed as a kaafir
-when the man slept w/ his father's wife, he was killed as a kaafir
-we don't need to wait for anyone to legitimize their kufr
Narrated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: During the lifetime of the Prophet there was a man called
'Abdullah whose nickname was Donkey, and he used to make Allah's Apostle laugh. The Prophet
lashed him because of drinking (alcohol). And one-day he was brought to the Prophet on the
same charge and was lashed. On that, a man among the people said, "O Allah, curse him ! How
frequently he has been brought (to the Prophet on such a charge)!" The Prophet said, "Do not
curse him, for by Allah, I know for he loves Allah and His Apostle." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 81,
Hadith #771]
IF YOU LIVE IN AN ISLAMIC STATE, when you throw the Quran in the dustbin,
-this IS MAJOR kufr, takfir will be made on you and will be killed
People come to Paltalk looking for which room has the most guests
-then they invite them to their own rooms for debate
-we will debate these but in THIS room
Ibn Jareer said that Ibn Mas'ood interpreted the above verse saying: "This refers to a woman who
used to shepherd sheep and she had four brothers, and by night she used to go to the cell of a
priest to sleep. Then the priest fornicated with her and she became pregnant. Then, the devil came
to him and whispered to him "kill her and burry her as you are a man to whom people would listen
and would believe [in what you say]". So, the priest killed her and buried her. Then, the devil came
to her brothers in a dream and whispered: "The priest fornicated with your sister and when she
became pregnant, he killed her and buried her in such and such a place." In the morning, one of
the brothers said: "I swear by Allaah, I saw a dream last night, but I don't know whether or not I
should tell it to you." His brothers said: "Tell us the story." Then, he related the story to them. One
of them said: "I swear by Allaah, I saw the same dream." Another brother said: "I swear by Allaah,
I saw the same dream as well." Thereupon, they said: "There must be something wrong." So, they
went and complained to the king about that priest, and the king's men arrested the priest. Then
the devil came to this priest and told him: "It is me who put you in this mess, and no one else can
get you out of it except me, so prostrate to me once and I will get you out of this mess." Then the
priest prostrated to him. When they arrived to the king, the devil declared to the priest that he is
free from what he did, and then they killed the priest." This is narrated on the authority of Ibn
'Abbaas, Taawoos, Muqaatil Ibn Hayyaan. [Ibn Kathir: Stories from the Qur’an]
Wahb said: "There was a pious worshipper of the tribe of Israel. He was the most pious person of
his time. During his time, there were three brothers who had a sister. She was a virgin. And they
had no sister other than her. They were all about to leave the town to go to war. They did not know
with whom to leave their sister and who they could trust to look after her. They all agreed to leave
her with that pious person. They all trusted him.
They went to him and asked if they could leave her with him. She would be in the building next to
him until they return from the fighting. He refused their request and sought refuge in Allah from
them and their sister. They persisted until he finally acquiesced. He said, "Put her in the house
next to my place of worship." So they put her in that house and they left, leaving her there. She
remained living next to that pious person for some time. He would put food for her in front of his
building of worship. Then he would lock the door and return to his place of worship. He would
then tell her to come out of her house and take the food.
Then Satan approached him softly. He encouraged him to treat her kindly. He told him that it was
not good to make the woman come out of her house during the day as someone may come upon
her. If he took the food directly to her door that would mean a greater reward for him. He
continued for some time to go to her door and place the food at the front of her door without
speaking to her. Then IBlees came again and encouraged him to do good and get more reward. He
said, "If you took her the food and placed it in the house for her, you would get a greater reward."
He continued to encourage him. So he started to take the food into her house. He continued like
that for some time. Then lblees came again and again encouraged him to do good. He said, "If you
talk to her for a while she will be put to ease by your conversation as she is in a state of fear and
she is all alone." He then started talking to her from atop his place of worship. Then lblees came
again. He said, "If you were to come down and talk to her while she sits at her door and talks to
you, that would be even more comforting for her." He continued to encourage him until he came
down and sat at his door and would talk to her. The girl would come out of her building and sit at
her door and they would talk for a while. Then lblees came again and encouraged him to get great
rewards for treating her well. He said, "If you were to go from the door of your place of worship
and sit close to her door, that would be even more comforting for her." He continued exhorting
him until he did so. He continued that act for a while. Then lblees came again. This time said, "If
you enter her house and talk to her, and not make her show her face in public it would be even
better for you." He continued exhorting him until he entered her house and spent the whole day
talking to her. Then when night fell, he returned to his place of worship. Then lblees came to him
after that and continued to make her more appealing to him. Until the worshipper got upon her
and kissed her. And lblees continued to make her look nice in his eyes and desire her until he
finally committed zina with her. She got pregnant and gave birth to a boy. Then lblees came and
told the worshipper, "Do you not realize what the brothers of the girl will do to you when they see
she has given birth to your son? You will not be safe if your matter 'becomes clear, You should go
to the boy and kill it and bury it, that way you can conceal your affair and They will not do
anything to you for what you did to her." Then he said to him, "Do you think she will conceal from
her brothers what you did to her and your killing of her son. Take her, kill her and bury her with
her son." He continued spurring him on until he killed her and threw her in the ditch with her son.
Then he put a large rock over them and leveled it.
Then he returned to his place of worship and worshipped therein. He stayed in that state for as
fong as Allah willed until the brothers came back from the fighting. They came to him and asked
him about their sister. He mourned her loss and started to cry. He said, "She was the best of
women and that is her grave." The Brothers came to the grave and cried over their sister and
asked Allah to have mercy on her. They stayed at her grave for a few days and then went to their
families. When the night overtook them and they went to their beds, Satan came to them in their
sleep in the form of a traveler. He started with the eldest and asked him about their sister. The
brother told him what the pious man had stated and how they were shown her grave. Satan told
him that the pious man had lied. He said, "He did not tell you the truth about your sister. He got
her pregnant and she had his son and then he killed and buried her out of fear of you. Then he
threw them in a ditch he dug behind the door of the house she was staying in, to the right of the
entrance. Go and enter the house in which she stayed and on the right of the entrance you will
find everything I told you about." Then he went to the middle brother and did the same. Then he
went to the youngest brother and did the same. When they woke, they were all surprised at what
they had seen. When they met each other, they all said, "I saw an amazing thing last night," and
they informed each other of what they had seen. The eldest said, "That dream has nothing to it so
just ignore it." The youngest said, "I will not leave it until I go and look at that place." They all went
until they reached the door of the place where there sister stayed. They opened the door and
looked for the place that was described to them in their dreams. They found their sister and her
son buried in a ditch, as they were told. They asked the worshipper about it and he confirmed
what lblees had told them. They then took him and were about to crucify him. When they had him
on the wooden cross, Satan said to him, "You know that I am your companion who tempted you
by the woman until you got her pregnant and you killed her and her son. If you obey me today and
deny Allah, who formed and shaped you, I will rescue you from your predicament." The
worshipper then belied Allah. When he belied Allah, Satan left from being between him and the
others and they were able to crucify him too.
1- This story, and others similar to it, are from the israaeeliyaat or stories which have their source
in the books or tales of the Jews and Christians. We do not say it is true nor do we say it is false,
but it is allowed to narrate them as the Prophet (SAW) said, "Narrate stories about the Tribe of
Israel and there is no harm in that.”
2- Other narrations Burseesah dies in sujjod to shaitan when shaitan promises to save him from
the brothers,This Narration is Quoted in Ibn al-Jawzi's Talbees Iblees, p.39. [Al-Tabari, Al-Qurtubi,

O you who believe! Follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). And whosoever follows the
footsteps of Shaitan (Satan), then, verily he commands Al-Fahsha' [i.e. to commit indecency
(illegal sexual intercourse, etc.)], and Al-
Munkar [disbelief and polytheism (i.e. to do evil and wicked deeds; to speak or to do what is
forbidden in Islam, etc.)]. And had it not been for the Grace of Allah and His Mercy on you, not one
of you would ever have been pure from sins. But Allah purifies (guides to Islam) whom He wills,
and Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower. (An-Nur 24:21)

Ibn Umar (RA) narrated: I was presented before Allah’s Messenger (SAW) for the army when I was
fourteen years old. But, he did not enlist me. Then, the next year I was presented to him for the
army being fifteen years and he took me. Nafi’ said: I narrated this hadith to Umar ibn Abdul Aziz
and he said, “The limit between a minor and a major (is this).” Then he wrote (to his officers) that
those who attain the age of fifteen may be given share in spoils of war. [Bukhari 2664, Muslim
1868, Tirmidhi 1717]
Narrated By 'Aisha: That the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he
consummated his marriage when she was nine years old. Hisham said: I have been informed that
'Aisha remained with the Prophet for nine years (i.e. till his death)." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 7, Book

'Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Muhammad Ibn Habeeb Ibn Abee Habeeb on the authority of his father, on
the authority of his grandfather [who] said: I witnessed Khaalid Ibn 'Abdullah Al-Qasree - and he
addressed them at Waasit - "Oh People, make sacrifice, may Allah accept it from you. Verily I am
sacrificing Al-Ja'd Ibn Dirham, for indeed he claims that Allah did not take Ibrahim as a khaleel
(close friend), and [that] He did not speak to Moosa. Most Perfect is He and exalted is He from
what Al-Ja'd says." Then he descended and slaughtered him. I say: And the Jahmiyya and
Mu’tazila speak with this, and they distort the text of the revelation regarding that, and they claim
that the Lord is purified of that [i.e. having spoken to Moses and taken Ibrahim as a khalil]

"I found her and her people worshipping the sun instead of Allah, and Shaitan (Satan) has made
their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred them from (Allah's) Way, so they have no
guidance," (An-Naml 27:24)
And (remember) when Shaitan (Satan) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said, "No one
of mankind can overcome you this Day (of the battle of Badr) and verily, I am your neighbour (for
each and every help)." But when the two forces came in sight of each other, he ran away and said
"Verily, I have nothing to do with you. Verily! I see what you see not. Verily! I fear Allah for Allah is
Severe in punishment." (Al-Anfal 8:48)

And (remember) when Shaitan (Satan) made their (evil) deeds seem fair to them and said, "No one

There is a difference of opinion concerning the punishment for the one who commits sodomy. The
following are the opinions that were mentioned by Imam Ash-Shawkani in "Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol.
7/p122-124.
1) That he is killed with the sword, then burnt. This is narrated from Abu Bakr and 'Ali Ibn Abi
Talib.
2) That a wall should be collapsed upon him. This was the opinion of 'Umar and 'Uthman.
3) That he should be thrown from the highest building in the city, then that should be followed up
with him being pelted with rocks. This was the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas.
4) That he is stoned. This is narrated by Al-Bayhaqi from 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Ash-Sha'bi, Az-Zuhri,
Malik, Ahmad, Is'haq, and Ash-Shafi'i.
5) That they are burned. This was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, that Abu Bakr gathered the Sahabah
and 'Ali mentioned this, and the Sahabah agreed upon it. It was also mentioned by Al-Munthiri that
it was done by Abu Bakr, 'Ali, 'Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr, and Hisham Ibn 'Abdil-Malik.
6) That he is stoned, then burnt with fire. This is narrated from the Sahabah agreeing upon it in the
time of Abu Bakr.
7) That the punishment is the same as Zina, in that if he is a virgin, he is whipped, and if he is not,
then he is stoned.
8) That there is no prescribed punishment, rather it is left up to the Imam to perform Ta'zir, and
this was narrated from Abu Hanifah, and one narration from Ash-Shafi'i, and others.
Ash-Shawkani refutes the opinion of the punishment being the same as Zina, as well as the
opinion that there is only Ta'zir, and supports the opinion that he is killed, but does not appear to
specify which way of killing is the strongest.
He grants Hikmah to whom He pleases, and he, to whom Hikmah is granted, is indeed granted
abundant good. But none remember (will receive admonition) except men of understanding. (Al-
Baqarah 2:269)
Shaitan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal
sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty,
and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:268)

STAGES OF OPPRESSION
The kufar heard this lecture and concluded that the sheikh did not change in Aqeedah.
Allah (SWT) says in His book that the battle between truth and falsehood is ever lasting battle.
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad Peace be upon
him) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance of Allah (i.e. Islamic
Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him )
were to follow their (Jews and Christians) desires after what you have received of
Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'an), then you would have against Allah neither any Wali (protector
or guardian) nor any helper.
(Al-Baqarah 2:120)
Even though they are, supposed to stick to the Quran and Sunnah.
On the authority of Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junadah, and Abu Abdur-Rahman Muadh bin Jabal
(RA), that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Have taqwa (fear) of Allah wherever you may be,
and follow up a bad deed with a good deed which will wipe it out, and behave well towards the
people.
[It was related by at-Tirmidhi, who said it was a hasan (good) hadith, and in some copies it is
stated to be a hasan saheeh hadith.
"...And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your religion (Islamic
Monotheism) if they can..."
(Al-Baqarah 2:217)
Imraan ibn Husain (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, ‘A group of people from my
Ummah will continue to fight for the sake of the truth until the last of them fights the Dajjal (anti-
Christ)
[Sunan Abu Dawud (3/4) No. 2484, Musnad Ahmad (4/437) No. 19934, Mustadrak al-Haakim (2/81)
No. 2392]
(Al-Kafirun 109:6)
This was revealed to the Muslim in Makka when they had no army.
Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have
passed, then kill the Mushrikun (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and
besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-
Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful.
(At-Tawbah 9:5)
Surah 9 verse 5 abrogated all verses of sabr including the last verse of Surah al-Kafiroon.
Allah (SWT) said in the Qur'an surah Al Anfal verse 39
And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others
besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world]...
(Al-Anfal 8:39)
Some scholars claim that to "kill the Mushrikun" was only applicable to the Arabian Peninsula.
If that were the case, a lot of land would not have fallen to the Muslims.
And the answer of his people was only that they said: "Drive them out of your town, these are
indeed men who want to be pure (from sins)!"
(Al-A'raf 7:82)
If you go to Europe and claim being a homosexual is wrong, they will kick you out of their land.
Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allah, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which
has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion
of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the
Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.
(At-Tawbah 9:29)
On the authority of Thawban the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “All the people of the world will
soon summon one another to attack you as people gather around a table when invited to part take
of its meal” Someone asked, ‘will that be because of our small numbers at that time?’ He (the
Prophet) replied: “No, you will be numerous at that time but you will be scum and rubbish like that
carried down by a torrent, and Allah will take fear from the breast of your enemies and cast
“wahn” into your hearts”. Someone asked ‘What is “wahn” O Messenger of Allah?’ He replied
“Love for the world and dislike of death.”
[Sunan Abu Dawud (4/111) No. 4297, Musnad Ahmad (2/359) No. 8698]
The Jews call Jesus (AS) a bastard child yet the Christian ally with them.
And those who disbelieve are allies to one another, (and) if you (Muslims of the whole world
collectively) do not do so (i.e. become allies, as one united block with one Khalifah - chief Muslim
ruler for the whole Muslim world to make victorious Allah's Religion of Islamic Monotheism), there
will be Fitnah (wars, battles, polytheism, etc.) and oppression on earth, and a great mischief and
corruption (appearance of polytheism).
(Al-Anfal 8:73)
They will say you're young and you will run out of steam.
The kufar said the prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) would run out of words.
(Luqman 31:27)
Why didn't they buy him out as they claim every man has his price?
The kufar offered money, fame, and women to the prophet ()ﷺ.
They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would
compromise with you.
(Al-Qalam 68:9)
Abu Talib said to Muhammad (“ )ﷺO my brother’s son if you didn’t stop I am afraid that they will
hurt you” the Holy Prophet ( )ﷺemotionally replied “O uncle by Allah if they put the sun in my right
hand the moon in my left hand on condition that I abandon this course, until Allah has made me
victorious, or I perish therein, I would not abandon it"
The Prophet ( )ﷺgot up, and as he turned away, his uncle called him and said, "Come back, My
nephew," and when he came back, he said, "Go and preach what you please, for by Allah I will
never forsake you.
Ar Raheeq Al MaKhtum (The Sealed Nectar) Page 105} [Ibn Hisham 1/265]
Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun
will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures.
(Al-Baiyinah 98:6)
The kafir considers some surahs politically incorrect such as Surah Tawbah, Surah Anfal, Surah
Bayyinah, Surah Muhammad, etc.
They even proposed to the prophet ( )ﷺthat one year we will worship Allah and one year you will worship
Laat and Uzza.
Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)to these Mushrikun and Kafirun) : "O Al-Kafirun
(disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day
of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)! "I worship not that which you worship,
"Nor will you worship that which I worship. "And I shall not worship that which you are
worshipping. "Nor will you worship that which I worship. "To you be your religion, and to me my
religion (Islamic Monotheism)."
(Al-Kafirun 109:1-6)
They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so they (too) would
compromise with you.
(Al-Qalam 68:9)
However, if you do the adhan out loud, they will complain because the shaytaan hates the adhan.
In the 1950s and 1960s, J. Edgar Hoover would label every threat as a homosexual.
The kafir of Quraish became frustrated when the prophet ( )ﷺrefused to sell out.
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. Who has gathered wealth and counted it, He thinks that his
wealth will make him last forever! Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire. And what
will make you know what the crushing Fire is? The fire of Allah, kindled, Which leaps up over the
hearts, Verily, it shall be closed in on them, In pillars stretched forth, (i.e. they will be punished in
the Fire with pillars, etc.).
(Al-Humuzah 104:1-9)
Walid ibn Mughira held a grudge against Muhammed ( )ﷺbecause Allah (SWT) chooses him as His
messenger.
Verily, he thought and plotted; So let him be cursed! How he plotted! And once more let him be
cursed, how he plotted! Then he thought; Then he frowned and he looked in a bad tempered way;
Then he turned back and was proud; Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old;
"This is nothing but the word of a human being!" I will cast him into Hell-fire
(Al-Muddaththir 74:18-26)
Walid ibn Mughira was jealous of Muhammed ( )ﷺbecause of his prophet hood.
Yazid ibn Yabnus said, "We went to 'A'isha and said, 'Umm al-Mu'minin, what was the character of
the Messenger of Allah (SAW), like?' She replied, 'His character was the Qur'an. Can you recite the
sura entitled "The Believers"?' She said, 'Recite: "It is the believers who are successful: those
who are humble in their prayer; those who turn away from worthless talk; those who actively pay
zakat; those who guard their private parts." (23:1-5)' She said, 'That was the character of the
Messenger of Allah (SAW).'"
[Al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Bukhari, No. 308]
They intend to put out the Light of Allah (i.e. the religion of Islam, this Qur'an, and Prophet
Muhammad SAW) with their mouths. But Allah will complete His Light even though the
disbelievers hate (it).
(As-Saff 61:8)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse
When character assassination doesn't work, the kufar will try to disgrace you.
As an example, the Abu Ghraib scandal where the American abused Muslims prisoners.
Abu Hurayrah narrated: The Messenger of Allah ( )ﷺsaid: “Islam began as something strange and
will revert to being strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers.”
Another way the kafir disgrace the Muslims is by sending them to Guantanamo Bay.
Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allah) on the
people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture [the Taurat
(Torah)]! Have you then no sense?
(Al-Baqarah 2:44)
Even Fidel Castro of Cuba was appalled by how the Americans treat the Muslim prisoners
in Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib.
The reason for the disgrace is because they want you to apostate.
Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are
even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than cattle).
(Al-Furqan 25:44)
Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these people?" The Prophet
ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the son of Abu Quhafa
present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-Khattab present amongst
these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for these (men), they have been
killed." 'Umar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan), "You told a lie, by Allah! O
enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing which will make you
unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a counterbalance to yours in the
battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is shared in turns by the
belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did not urge my men to do
so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting cheerfully,
At the battle of Uhud, the prophet ( )ﷺinsisted that the sahaba answer every claim of Abu Sufyan.
"O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him
back?" They said, "O Allah's Apostle What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is Higher and more
Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al Uzza, and you have no Uzza." The
Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O Allah's
Apostle! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper."
Muhammed ( )ﷺwas the messenger of Allah (SWT), if you are insulting Muhammed ( )ﷺthan you're
insulting Allah Himself.
A white man from Holland who insulted Muhammed ( )ﷺaccepted Islam and went to Medina to apologize
to Muhammed ()ﷺ.
They use movies to insult Allah's deen.
And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing, etc.) to mislead (men) from the
Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it (the Path of Allah, the Verses of the Qur'an) by way
of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment (in the Hell-fire).
(Luqman 31:6)
FIFTH STAGE: They wage economic warfare using sanction against you.
The prophet ( )ﷺand the sahaba suffered economic warfare for three years.
So when you don't please the kafir, they consider you as a rogue state and destroy your currency.
Shaitaan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal
sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty,
and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.
(Al-Baqarah 2:268)
The above ayah tells you that poverty is a lethal weapon of the Shaitaan.
Anas ibn Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “A time will come on the people when
the patient among them on his religion will be like one who holds live coal (in his hand).
Anas Ibn Malik narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Poverty, in all probability, leads to
unbelief (kufr)”
[Al-Bayhaqi narrated in 'Shu’ab al-Eemaan' (9/12) No. 6188 and Abu Na'eem narrated in 'Hileeyat
al-Awwleeyah' (3/109)]
The hearts of the kafirs are alike hence, history repeats itself.
All the crime that has been committed yesterday is being committed today.
In the time of Lut (AS), they were proud of being homosexual and made is halal.
In the time of Musa (AS), they used magic and illusion to trick people into disbelief.
Nowadays, the kufar are the worse than before because they commit all these evil deeds and more.
So when the other stages fail, they will try to kill you.
They used propaganda against Afghanistan and it didn't work so they decided to bomb it.
And they (disbelievers) plotted, and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners.
And the disbelievers planned, but Allah planned. And Allah is the best of planners.
Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it
may be that you dislike a thing, which is good for you and that you like a thing, which is bad for
you. Allah knows but you do not know.
(Al-Baqarah 2:216)
Allah (SWT) said in the Qur'an surah At Tawbah verse 73
O Prophet, fight against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be harsh upon them. And their
refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination.
O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islam), Allah will bring
a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards
the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is
the Grace of Allah, which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allah is All Sufficient for His
creatures' needs, All Knower.
(Al-Ma'idah 5:54)
Hence, you plotted, Allah (SWT) planned, and Allah (SWT) is the best of planners.
And they (disbelievers) plotted, and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best of the planners.

Bismillah
What is tawassul?
- It means to seek means to draw near to Allah
O you who believe! Do your duty to Allah and fear Him. Seek the means of
approach to Him, and strive hard in His Cause as much as you can. So that you
may be successful. (Al-Ma'idah 5:35)
1. HALAL
2. HARAAM
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW)
said, "Verily Allah ta’ala has said: ‘Whosoever shows enmity to a wali (friend) of
Mine, then I have declared war against him. And My servant does not draw near to
Me with anything more loved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated
upon him. And My servant continues to draw near to me with nafil
(supererogatory) deeds until I Love him. When I Love him, I am his hearing with
which he hears, and his sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he
strikes, and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I
would surely give it to him; and were he to seek refuge with Me, I would surely
grant him refuge.’" [It was related by al-Bukhari]
And (all) the Most Beautiful Names belong to Allah, so call on Him by them, and
leave the company of those who belie or deny (or utter impious speech against)
His Names. They will be requited for what they used to do.(Al-A'raf 7:180)
And (O Muhammad SAW) recite to them (the Jews) the story of the two sons of
Adam [Habil (Abel) and Qabil (Cain)] in truth; when each offered a sacrifice (to
Allah), it was accepted from the one but not from the other. The latter said to the
former: "I will surely kill you." The former said: "Verily, Allah accepts only from
those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2)." (Al-Ma'idah 5:27)
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him,
"You are going to a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to
which you will invite them, be the Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that
Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be offered in one day and one night.
And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat of their
properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor.
And if they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of
the people." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #469]
Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who
purify themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their
private parts, bodies, for their prayers, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:222)
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) as saying: There was a
person before you who had killed ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry
about the learned persons of the world (who could show him the way to
salvation). He was directed to a monk.
He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked
him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: No.
He killed him also and thus completed one hundred.
He then asked about the learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a
scholar, and he told him that he had killed one hundred persons and asked him
whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted. He said: Yes;
what stands between you and the repentance?
You better go to such and such land; there are people devoted to prayer and
worship and you also worship along with them and do not come to the land of
yours since it was an evil land (for you). So he went away and he had hardly
covered half the distance when death came to him and there was a dispute
between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment.
The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a penitent and remorseful to
Allah and the angels of punishment said: He has done no good at all. Then there
came another angel in the form of a human being in order to decide between
them. He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near.
They measured it and found him nearer to the land where he intended to go (the
land of piety), and so the angels of mercy took possession of it. Qatada said that
Hasan told him that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled
upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy. [Sahih Muslim, Book
37, Hadith #6662] Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger having said: “By Him
in Whose Hand is my life, if you were not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you
out of existence and He would replace (you by) those people who would commit
sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned them.” [Sahih
Muslim (4/2106) No. 2749]
- When prophet Yunus (AS) was in the belly of the whale he did tawassul like Allah
mentioned in the following ayah:
And (remember) Dhan-Nun (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that
We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamites which had befallen him)! But he cried
through the darkness (saying) : La ilaha illa Anta [none has the right to be
worshipped but You (O Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted) are You [above all that
(evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers." (Al-Anbiya
21:87)
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW)
said, "Every joint of a person must perform a charity each day that the sun rises:
to judge justly between two people is a charity. To help a man with his mount,
lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it, is a charity. And the good
word is a charity. And every step that you take towards the prayer is a charity,
and removing a harmful object from the road is a charity." [It was related by al-
Bukhari and Muslim]
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it
was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the
pious - see V.2:2). (Al-Baqarah 2:183)
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging
themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was
obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them) : "In what (condition) were you?"
They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not
the earth of Allah spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?" Such men will
find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! (An-Nisa 4:97)
Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said, “The state of a place reflects the state of
a person. It is possible to be sometimes a Muslim and at other times a
disbeliever; sometimes sincere and at other times hypocritical; sometimes good
and pious and at other times rotten and corrupt. Thus, a person becomes like the
place of his abode. The migration of a person from a land of disbelief and
profanity to one of faith and probity is an expression of repentance and of his
turning away from disobedience and perversion to belief and obedience. This is
so until the Day of Resurrection.” [Majmu’al-Fatawa, (18/284)]
- You have become such low life scum on the earth, you prefer not to have a caliph.
- You prefer to live with the kuffar
- So when the caliphate was established, they were the first to reject it
- They are classically conditioned to live under humiliation.
- The white man is a control freak, why do you want to live among him?
- You the people who are living in the UK, if I ask you to tell me a good quality of the
white or black man, what would you tell me?
- You could not find one
Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for
the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill
(others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the
Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'an. And who is truer to his
covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That
is the supreme success. (At-Tawbah 9:111)
On the authority of Muadh bin Jabal (RA) who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah,
tell me of an act which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from the
Hellfire." He (SAW) said, "Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar
and its peak?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He (SAW) said, "The head of
the matter is Islam, its pillar is the prayer and its peak is jihad. [Sunan Tirmidhi

10. TO DRAW NEAR TO ALLAH WITH A PIOUS DEED THAT YOU DID IN THE
PAST
- An example of this is the story of the three men in the cave when the exit was blocked
with a rock as mentioned in the following hadith:
Narrated By Ibn 'Umar: The Prophet said, "While three persons were walking, rain
began to fall and they had to enter a cave in a mountain. A big rock rolled over
and blocked the mouth of the cave. They said to each other, 'Invoke Allah with the
best deed you have performed (so Allah might remove the rock)'.
One of them said, 'O Allah! My parents were old and I used to go out for grazing
(my animals). On my return I would milk (the animals) and take the milk in a
vessel to my parents to drink. After they had drunk from it, I would give it to my
children, family and wife.
One day I was delayed and on my return I found my parents sleeping, and I
disliked towake them up. The children were crying at my feet (because of hunger).
That state of affairs continued till it was dawn. O Allah! If You regard that I did it
for Your sake, then please remove this rock so that we may see the sky.' So, the
rock was moved a bit.
The second said, 'O Allah! You know that I was in love with a cousin of mine, like
the deepest love a man may have for a woman, and she told me that I would not
get my desire fulfilled unless I paid her one-hundred Dinars (gold pieces). So, I
struggled for it till I gathered the desired amount, and when I sat in between her
legs, she told me to be afraid of Allah, and asked me not to deflower her except
rightfully (by marriage) So, I got up and left her.
O Allah! If You regard that I did if for Your sake, kindly remove this rock.' So, two-
thirds of the rock was removed.
Then the third man said, 'O Allah! No doubt You know that once I employed a
worker for one Faraq (three Sa's) of millet, and when I wanted to pay him, he
refused to take it, so I sowed it and from its yield I bought cows and a shepherd.
After a time that man came and demanded his money.
I said to him Go to those cows and the shepherd and take them for they are for
you. He asked me whether I was joking with him. I told him that I was not joking
with him, and all that belonged to him. O Allah! If You regard that I did it sincerely
for Your sake, then please remove the rock.' So, the rock was removed
completely from the mouth of the cave." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 3, Book 34, Hadith
#418]
- Maybe you did something good 10 years ago, but today you are in a plight.
- You can call upon Allah with that pious deed which you did to remove the calamity
- For example, if a person is going to hajj/umrah, you can ask them to make a dua for
you
Uthman ibn Haneef (RA) narrated: "A man who was blind came to the Prophet and
requested him to pray to Allah that He may cure me of my blindness. He said, 'If
you wish, but if you be patient, that is better for you.' He said that the Prophet
(SAW) may pray for him. So, the Prophet (SAW) commanded him to make
ablution and make it very well and pray in these words, 'O Allah I ask you and
plead to you through your Prophet Muhammad, Prophet of mercy, I plead by your
virtue O my Lord, for my need, this one that it be granted to me. O Allah, accept
his intercession for me.'" [Tirmidhi 3589, Ibn Majah 1385, Ahmed 17240]
- There are people in the world today who say, "O Allah forgive me because of the
status of Muhammad (SAWS)” or “because of the right that Muhammad (SAWS) has
over You”
- Ibn Taymiyyah says this type of tawassul is haram
- But many scholars allow it
- Those who allow it rely on a fabricated hadith
Imaam Haakim and others have narrated on the authority of Sayyiduna Umar ibn
al-Khattaab [radhiallaahu anhu] that Rasulullah [Sallallahu alayhi wasallam] said,
'When Adam [alayhis salaam] ate from the forbidden tree, he said, 'O My Lord, I
ask you through the right of Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] that you
forgive me.' The words used were, 'Bi haqqi Muhammad' Allah Ta'ala accepted
Aadam's [alayhis salaam] repentance. (al-Mustadrak vol.2 pg.615; Dalaailun-
Nubuwwah of Imaa Bayhaqi vol.5 pg.489; al-Mu'jamus saghir of Imaam Tabrani
vol.2 pg.82)
- If it were allowed to pray to Muhammad (SAWS) after he died, why didn't Omar do it?
Think not of those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive,
with their Lord, and they have provision. (Aali Imran 3:169)
Verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) will die and verily, they (too) will die. (Az-Zumar
39:30)
Narrated By 'Aisha: Abu Bakr came from his house at As-Sunh on a horse. He
dismounted and entered the Mosque, but did not speak to the people till he
entered upon 'Aisha and went straight to Allah's Apostle who was covered with
Hibra cloth (i.e. a kind of Yemenite cloth). He then uncovered the Prophet's face
and bowed over him and kissed him and wept, saying, "Let my father and mother
be sacrificed for you. By Allah, Allah will never cause you to die twice. As for the
death which was written for you, has come upon you."
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Abu Bakr went out while Umar bin Al-Khattab was talking to
the people. Abu Bakr said, "Sit down, O 'Umar!" But 'Umar refused to sit down. So
the people came to Abu Bakr and left Umar. Abu Bakr said, "To proceed, if
anyone amongst you used to worship Muhammad , then Muhammad is dead, but
if (anyone of) you used to worship Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never
die.Allah said: "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle, and indeed (many)
apostles have passed away before him...(till the end of the Verse)... Allah will
reward to those who are thankful." (3.144) By Allah, it was as if the people never
knew that Allah had revealed this Verse before till Abu Bakr recited it and all the
people received it from him, and I heard everybody reciting it (then). [Sahih
Bukhari, Vol 5, Book 59, Hadith #733]
- The Sufis use another argument against us to prove you can pray to Muhammad
(SAWS)
- They use the tasha'hhud as their evidence to worship Muhammad while he is inside
the grave
- Because in the tasha'hhud we say "...peace be upon you O Muhammad"
Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet said, "On the Day of Resurrection a group
of companions will come to me, but will be driven away from the Lake-Fount, and
I will say, 'O Lord (those are) my companions!' It will be said, 'You have no
knowledge as to what they innovated after you left; they turned apostate as
renegades (reverted from Islam)." [Sahih Bukhari (8/120) No. 6585]
- The following hadith is evidence that the grave of Muhammad (SAWS) can become an
idol.
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn Yasar that the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O Allah! Do not make my grave an idol that is
worshipped. The anger on those who took the graves of their Prophets as places
of prostration was terrible." [Muwatta Malik (1/223) No. 570, Musannaf Abdur
Razzaq (1/406) No. 1587, Musnad Ahmad (2/246) No. 7352]
- The Sufis who call upon Muhammad (SAWS) are worse than the pagans of Makkah.
- Because the pagans of Makkah called upon Allah alone when they were suffering
And when they embark on a ship, they invoke Allah, making their Faith pure for
Him only, but when He brings them safely to land, behold, they give a share of
their worship to others. (Al-'Ankabut 29:65)
Thus is the Word of your Lord justified against those who rebel (disobey Allah)
that they will not believe (in the Oneness of Allah and in Muhammad SAW as the
Messenger of Allah). (Yunus 10:33)
And when harm touches you upon the sea, those that you call upon besides Him
vanish from you except Him (Allah Alone). But when He brings you safely to land,
you turn away (from Him). And man is ever ungrateful.(Al-Isra 17:67)
- Allah told you that when you call upon dead people, Allah blocks them from hearing
your kufr and your shirk.
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they
were to hear, they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of
Resurrection, they will disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you
(O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the AllKnower (of each and
everything). (Fatir 35:14)
- Then Allah told you in another ayah that the grave worshippers are liars and kaafirs
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And
those who take Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say) : "We worship
them only that they may bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between
them concerning that wherein they differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a
liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
- I've given you 12 ways to do tawassul in a halal way, so there is no need for you to
dabble in shirk

Narrated Abu-Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him); ‘The Prophet (SAWS) said: “Avoid the
seven great destructive sins.” The people enquired; ‘O Allah’s Messenger! What are they?’ The
Prophet (SAWS) said: To join others in worship along with Allah, to practise sorcery, to kill the life
that Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law), to eat up usury, to eat
up the orphan’s wealth, to show one’s back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the
time of fighting, and to accuse the chaste women, who never even think of anything touching
chastity and are good believers.” (Bukhari).
1. SHIRK
-shirk means ascribing partners to Allah tala
-this sin will never be forgiven
Verily, Allâh forgives not that partners should be set up with Him (in worship), but He forgives
except that (anything else) to whom He wills; and whoever sets up partners with Allâh in worship,
he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (An-Nisa 4:48)
It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allâh's Forgiveness for the
Mushrikûn (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allâh) even though they
be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they
died in a state of disbelief). ( Al-Tawba 9:113)
-no need to beg Allah tala because it compromises on his stance w/ the mushrikeen
-your pagan (mushrikeen) family is not special
-see 4:48
You’re not allowed to pray to ALLAH and beg ALLAH to forgive those
- who died on shirk because
- you’re asking ALLAH to compromise on His stance >> 4:48
Abu Talib was the biggest sympathizer to Islam
-but he died as a mushrik (pagan)
-but his other uncle, Abass became a Muslim
-The prophet (saws) said he begged for Allah tala
-to give Abu Talib something special
-so he asked for the lightest punishment in the hellfire
-see 3:85
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported: Verily, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: The
least tormented of the inhabitants of the Fire would be he who would wear two shoes of Fire and
his brain would boil on account of the heat of the shoes. Sahih Muslim 0412
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the
Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Al-E-Imran 3:85)
Verily! You (O Muhammad SAW) guide not whom you like, but Allâh guides whom He wills. And
He knows best those who are the guided
(Al-Qasas 28:56)
Ibn 'Abbas reported: The Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: Among the inhabitants of the
Fire Abu Talib would have the least suffering, and he would be wearing two shoes (of Fire) which
would boil his brain. Sahih Muslim 0413
They (Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allâh (by
obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful according to their own desires without
being ordered by Allâh), [Al-Tawba 9:31]
Christians say:
-we don't worship them but the Prophet said they make haraam halal
-some people think worship is only when you make sadjah but it's not true
-the Prophet taught him worship is not only bowing down to idols
-if someone says to you: I will make pork halal for you to eat
-that is the shirk of legislation
-obeying that man practices the shirk of obedience
'Adi Ibn Hatim said that he came to the Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam)wearing a gold cross
around his neck. The Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "O 'Adi! Throw away this idol from
yourself." Then the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wa sallam recited the verse: They (Jews and
Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords besides Allah" (9:31) "It was not that
they worshipped these people, but rather whatever they made permissible for them, they believed
it to be permissible and whatever they forbade, they believed to be unlawful. " (Tirmidhi)
The shirk of obedience and legislation = all sins have brothers and sisters
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife?
He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything[] ( Al-Anaam 6:101)
And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart. Gen
6:6
And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power
with God and with men, and hast prevailed. Gen 32:28
SHAIKH IN KENYA
-they didn't want him to tour so it would remain mostly Christian
-he quotes the Bible verses that refute each other
-Shaikh even uses different Bible verses not always quoting the same ones
-so use these to refute Christianity
-they describe Allah tala w/ human qualities but we use His 99 names & attributes
MUSLIMS:
1. Enjoin the right
2. Forbid the wrong
3. Believe in Allah tala so we believe in Allah tala properly
You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his
Sunnah] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic
Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all
that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh... ( Al-E-Imran 3:110)
THE JEWS
-the Jews say Allah 'tala's hands are tied
-they say Allah ‘tala is poor (faqeer)
Indeed, Allâh has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allâh is poor and we are
rich!" (Al-E-Imran 3:181)
Allah often lies and does mistakes. (Usool-e-Kaafi, page #328, Yaqoob Kulaini, Vol 1).
-the Muslim is the only person in the world who does spew venom at Allah tala
-not even Allah tala is spared from their lies
-if they slander us, we need to run to Alaska
-in Bukhari, you'll never find a SHIA in the chain of transmitters
-their aqeeda is identical to the Jews
-Muslims do not blaspheme Allah 'tala
Glorified is your Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power! (He is free) from what they attribute unto
Him! (180) And peace be on the Messengers! (181) And all the praises and thanks are to Allâh,
Lord of the 'Alamîn (mankind, jinn and all that exists). (182) [As-Saaffat 37:180-182]
2) BLACK MAGIC
a) anything that happens in front of you and you can't explain it
-we can't accept that definition
And follow that which the devils falsely related against the kingdom of Solomon. Solomon
disbelieved not; but the devils disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and that which was revealed
to the two angels in Babel, Harut and Marut. Nor did they (the two angels) teach it to anyone till
they had said: We are only a temptation, therefore disbelieve not (in the guidance of Allah). And
from these two (angles) people learn that by which they cause division between man and wife; but
they injure thereby no-one save by Allah's leave. And they learn that which harmeth them and
profiteth them not. And surely they do know that he who trafficketh therein will have no (happy)
portion in the Hereafter; and surely evil is the price for which they sell their souls, if they but
knew. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allâh, nor kill such person as Allâh has
forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse - and whoever does this
shall receive the punishment (Al-Furqan 25:68)
3) MURDER
-see 25:68
-Muslims don't kill people w/o a right or do zina
-because when zina is rife then murder becomes rife, too
-example: if you seduce a man's wife, he will kill you!
”None of you will truly believe until you love for your brother what you love for yourself”. (Al-
Bukhari)
Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in
retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all
mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. 5:32
“Not one of you is a believer until you wish for others what you wish for yourself.” (Fourth Hadith
of an-Nawawi 13)
4) RIBA (interest ... lending them $1000 and asking for $1,500 - the extra is the riba)
And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allâh and His Messenger[] but if you repent,
you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and
you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums). (Al-Baqara 2:279)
-when you take riba .. see 2:279 you declare war on Allah tala and Muhammad (saws)
-taking riba is like a man having s-x w/ his mother in the belly of the kaba
-should we leave riba in the bank? no!
-give it away in charity - and don't expect any barakah
"Riba has seventy segments, the least serious being equivalent to a man committing adultery with
his own mother." (Ibn Majah)
Verily, those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their bellies,
and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire! (An-Nisa 4:10)
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Sa'd b. Ubada (Allah be pleased with him)
said: Messenger of Allah, if I were to find with my wife a man, should I not touch him before
bringing four witnesses? Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Yes. He said: By no
means. By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, I would hasten with my sword to him before that.
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Listen to what your chief says. He is jealous of
his honour, I am more jealous than he and God is more jealous than I. Sahih Muslim Book 9 , 3571
-robbing the orphan makes you a faasiq not a kaafir
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said,
"The best house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst
house among the Muslims is the house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the
orphan will be in the Garden like that," indicating his two fingers. [Bukhari]
-the Khawarijj like to believe we'd become a kaafir when we commit minor sins
O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons
amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they
will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who
do not understand. (Al-Anfal 8:65)
ABROGATED VERSE:
The Sahabahs complained the ratio was too wide .. so Allah tala revealed 6:66
-to lighten our burden
-the Sahabahs complained of this ratio >>
-therefore ALLAH revealed 8:66, canceling 8:65
-if there is 3 against 1, you can run
-it's a matter of Ijtihad
Now Allâh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of
you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundreds, and if there are a thousand
of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allâh. And Allâh is with As-Sâbirûn
(the patient). (Al-Anfal 8:66)
Narrated Ibn Abbas: When the Verse:-- "If there are twenty steadfast amongst you, they will
overcome two hundred." (8.65) was revealed, then it became obligatory for the Muslims that one
(Muslim) should not flee from ten (non-Muslims). Sufyan (the sub-narrator) once said, "Twenty
(Muslims) should not flee before two hundred (non Muslims)." Then there was revealed: 'But now
Allah has lightened your (task)..' (8.66) So it became obligatory that one-hundred (Muslims) should
not flee before two hundred (non-Muslims). (Once Sufyan said extra, "The Verse: 'Urge the
believers to the fight.
If there are twenty steadfast amongst you (Muslims) ..' was revealed.) Sufyan said, "Ibn Shabrama
said, "I see that this order is applicable to the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil."
(Bukhari, Book #60, Hadith #175)
Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity
and are good believers,— are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great
torment, (Al-Noor 24:23)
-when Aisha was slandered, her body became numb and she could not even do NATURE
-the slander nearly killed her
-to accuse her, your destiny is in the hellfire: unless she forgives you
-control your tongue or you're at her mercy
Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for
them. (An-Nisa 4:145)
IF YOU ARE SLANDERED IN THIS DUNYA, PLEASE FORGIVE THE REAL MUSLIM WHO DOES
THIS
BUT DON'T BOTHER FORGIVING THE MUNAFIQH - THEY ARE GOING TO HELLFIRE, ANYWAY
THE 17 NATURAL INSTINCTS OF MANKIND
ﺑﺳم ﷲ اﻟرﺣﻣن اﻟرﺣﯾم
Natural Instincts Part 1 & 2 (April (29 & 30) 2014).mp3 {Click Listen & Download}
WHAT IS AL FITRA?
Al fitra means those inborn natural instincts given to man by Allah (SWT), to enable him to carry out his
role as Allah's Khalifa properly and effectively on earth.
The first categories are those people who are being controlled by their natural instincts.
They aren't able to control their natural instincts, which dictate to them.
(Al-Furqan 25:42-44)
They cannot say "no" to their desires of the pleasures of the flesh.
They are very promiscuous because they worship their evil and corrupted desires.
Verily, We created man of the best stature (mould),Then We reduced him to the lowest of the low,
Save those who believe (in Islāmic Monotheism) and do righteous deeds, then they shall have a
reward without end (Paradise).
(At-Tin 95:4-6)
These are the first category of people in regards to our natural instincts.
But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves (Al-Hadid 57:27)
Allah (SWT) said in the Qur'an surah Al Hadid verse 27
But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they
sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance.
So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them are Fasiqun
(rebellious, disobedient to Allah).
(Al-Hadid 57:27)
Muslims practice a limited type of monasticism during Ramadan, we stay away from our wives during the
day.
3) THE MUSLIMS
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islamic Monotheism, true followers of
Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be
witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over you.
(Al-Baqarah 2:143)
Because we are a balance' nation we don't practice like the gigolo or the priest.
We do not practice promiscuity like the gigolo or celibacy like the priest.
And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the
Messenger will be a witness over you.
"I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.”
(Trans Sahih al Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol 7 Book 67 hadith 5063. Sahih-Muslim, English
translation Vol 2 pg 703 No.3236)
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA), who said that the Prophet (SAW) said: “They will follow the ways of
those who came before them, hand span by hand span, cubit by cubit, until even if they entered a
lizard’s hole they will follow them.” We said: “O Messenger of Allah, (do you mean) the Jews and
Christians?” He said: “Who else?”
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and
forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been good to
you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit
great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts).
(Al-Qasas 28:77)
Allah (SWT) says in this ayat to have fun, in the halaal way.
This is why we have sex and are not shy about it.
What the catholic priest are doing is nothing but a cursed innovation.
Christians and Jews love to quote sheikh Google and say Europeans are the happiest people.
By Google it is said that these places are the most dangerous and the top 10 countries for suicide are
kuffar countries Canada, USA and even India are there.
So when they quote shaikh Google, throw it back in their faces.
Narrated Abu Huraira-: The prophet pbuh said, "He who commits suicide by throttling shall keep
on throttling himself in the Hell Fire (forever) and he who commits suicide by stabbing himself
shall keep on stabbing himself in the Hell-Fire."
(Bukhari: Vol 2 Book 23 hadith 446 & Bukhari #23, Hadith #446)
They have to do this because all will not remain in the hellfire forever.
Allah (SWT) said Jews love life more than everybody else.
Jews don't want to die because they know they will be in the hellfire.
Say to (them) : "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is indeed for you specially and not for
others, of mankind, then long for death if you are truthful." But they will never long for it because
of what their hands have sent before them (i.e. what they have done). And Allah is All-Aware of the
Zelman (polytheists and wrong-doers). And verily, you will find them (the Jews) the greediest of
mankind for life and (even greedier) than those who - ascribe partners to Allah (and do not believe
in Resurrection - Magians, pagans, and idolaters, etc.). Everyone of them wishes that he could be
given a life of a thousand years. But the grant of such life will not save him even a little from (due)
punishment. And Allah is All-Seer of what they do.
(Al-Baqarah 2:95-96)
They don't want stem cell research to go on in the USA because they don't want people to live for 1000
years.
Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Verily the most painful punishment
on the Day of Judgment are those who kill the prophets or people murdered by the prophet or kill
one of his parents, and making statues and knowledgeable people who do not benefit from his
knowledge."
Narrated By Abdullah (bin Masud): On the day of Badr, Al-Miqdad said, "O Allah's Apostle! We do
not say to you as the children of Israel said to Moses, 'Go you and your Lord and fight you two;
we are sitting here, (5.24) but (we say). "Proceed, and we are with you." That seemed to delight
Allah's Apostle greatly.
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were
convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Musa (Moses) is the Messenger of Allah in
truth, but they disliked to obey Musa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of
Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidun (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-
doers, liars.).
(An-Naml 27:14)
Allah (SWT) said in the Quran that pharaoh believed in his heart the message of Musa (AS).
There are no atheists in the world. They are all liars.
And We took the Children of Israel across the sea, and Fir'aun (Pharaoh) with his hosts followed
them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that La ilaha
illa (Huwa) : (none has the right to be worshipped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israel believe,
and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allah's Will)." Now (you believe) while you
refused to believe before and you were one of the Mufsidun (evil-doers, corrupts, etc.). So this day
We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to those who come
after you! And verily, many among mankind are heedless of Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses,
lessons, signs , revelations, etc.).
(Yunus 10:90-92)
But Allah (SWT) threw his shahadah back in his face like a dirty rag.
Allah (SWT) did not accept his shahadah; it as too little too late.
How could a kaffir know this and not believe in the Quran before his death.
You have to be the devil himself to read this prediction and not believe.
So it is your natural instinct to believe in monotheism, that there is one Allah (SWT).
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, “Every child is born on the religion (of
Islam). Then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a polytheist.” Someone said, “O
Messenger of Allah, (what about) those who die before (their parents convert them)?” He said,
“Allah knows best what they would have done (if they had survived).”
Allah (SWT) said in the Quran surah A'raf verse 172 & 173
And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their
seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying) : "Am I
not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection:
"Verily, we have been unaware of this."
(Al-A'raf 7:172)
Or lest you should say: "It was only our fathers afortime who took others as partners in worship
along with Allah, and we were (merely their) descendants after them; will You then destroy us
because of the deeds of men who practised Al-Batil (i.e. polytheism and committing crimes and
sins, invoking and worshipping others besides Allah)?" (Tafsir At-Tabari).
(Al-A'raf 7:173)
Allah (SWT) made us testify so that on judgement day you do not have the excuse of ignorance.
So set you (O Muhammad SAW) your face towards the religion of pure Islamic Monotheism Hanifa
(worship none but Allah Alone) Allah's Fitrah (i.e. Allah's Islamic Monotheism), with which He has
created mankind. No change let there be in Khalqillah (i.e. the Religion of Allah Islamic
Monotheism), that is the straight religion, but most of men know not. [Tafsir At Tabari, Vol 21,
Page 41]
(Ar-Rum 30:30)
Some believe that if a man worships a false deity Allah (SWT) will forgive him because he did not know
better.
Narrated from Anas (RA) that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, where is my father?” He said:
“In Hell.” When he turned away he called him back and said: “My father and your father are in
Hell.”
Even though the prophet's father died before he was born, he is still in the hellfire.
This hadith is the knockout punch for those who say differently.
For those who say they give the person the excuse of ignorance because they did not know better.
Whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on the earth glorifies Allah. And He is the All-
Mighty, the All-Wise.
(As-Saff 61:1)
When prophet Sulaiman (AS) gathered his army and the bird was late, the bird complained to Sulaiman
(AS) that he found people worshipping the sun other than Allah (SWT).
"I found a woman ruling over them, and she has been given all things that could be possessed by
any ruler of the earth, and she has a great throne."I found her and her people worshipping the sun
instead of Allah, and Shaitan (Satan) has made their deeds fair-seeming to them, and has barred
them from (Allah's) Way, so they have no guidance,"
(An-Naml 27:23-24)
The bird knew that only Allah (SWT) alone deserves to be worshiped, why don't YOU man know this.
How come you are worshiping elephants and cows in India they worship the penis.
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear, they
could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will disown your
worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who is the All Knower
(of each and everything)
(Fatir 35:14)
If a bird knows that Allah (SWT) alone deserves to be worship why doesn't the beraivli know this?
In the above mentioned ayat, Allah (SWT) makes takfir on the beraivlis calling them grave worshipers.
And by Nafs (Adam or a person or a soul, etc.), and Him Who perfected him in proportion; Then
He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him;
(Ash-Shams 91:7-8)
Have We not made for him a pair of eyes? And a tongue and a pair of lips? And shown him the
two ways (good and evil)?
(Al-Balad 90:8-10)
No responsibility.
The shaitan uses this natural instinct to make us loyal even though the country race and tribe is wrong.
If a Jew knows that Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is the messenger of Allah (SWT) why does
he reject?
Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad or the
Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recognise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while
they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)]
(Al-Baqarah 2:146)
Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was a gentile to them so they will never follow him.
He was able to lead Adam (AS) astray using these natural instincts.
Then Shaitan (Satan) whispered to him, saying : "O Adam! Shall I lead you to the Tree of Eternity
and to a kingdom that will never waste away?"
(Ta-Ha 20:120)
O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes,
that you may know one another. Verily, the most honourable of you with Allah is that (believer)
who has At-Taqwa [i.e. one of the Muttaqun (pious - see V.2:2). Verily, Allah is All-Knowing, All-
Aware.
(Al-Hujurat 49:13)
Allah (SWT) knew the shaiytan would use your natural instincts against you.
The clearer the skin, the more beautiful you are
White people adore the black people more than the black people.
Blacks try to lighten their skin where whites try to get darker.
Black people hate the black skin because man is ungrateful to his Lord.
Verily! Man (disbeliever) is ungrateful to his Lord; And to that fact he bears witness (by his
deeds); And verily, he is violent in the love of wealth
(Al-'Adiyat 100:6)
Narrated Jubair ibn Mut’im: The Messenger of Allah (SAW), said: "He is not one us who calls for
`Asabiyah, (nationalism/tribalism) or who fights for `Asabiyah or who dies for `Asabiyah."
[Sunan Abu Dawud (Vol. 2, pg. 753) No. 5121]
Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “One who fights under the banner
of a people who are blind to the cause for which they are fighting, (i.e. do not know whether their
cause is just or unjust) who get flared up with Asabya, calls people to fight for their Asabiya. And
supports his kith and kin (i.e. fights not for the cause of Allah but for the sake of his asabiyya) if
he is killed (in this fight) he dies as one belonging to the days of Jahiliyiah (the pre-Islamic days of
ignorance).
We have come back from the minor jihad to the major one" someone asked: "What is the major
Jihad O Messenger of Allah?" he replied: "Jihad of the nafs,"
(This report, collected by Bayhaqi is fabricated as mentioned in Mannaar as-Subl of Ibn Qayyim al-
Jawziyyah)
5) TO LOVE POWER, HONOUR AND PRESTIGE
The shaitan uses this to turn people in to tyrants e.g. the pharaoh.
He rebelled against the message and said he himself was Allah (SWT).
Then [Musa (Moses)] showed him the great sign (miracles). But [Fir'aun (Pharaoh)] belied and
disobeyed; Then he turned his back, striving hard (against Allah).Then he gathered his people and
cried aloud Saying: "I am your lord, most high",
(An-Nazi'at 79:20-24)
In the above mentioned ayat the Pharaoh claimed to be the most high, something the shaiytan never
claimed.
The shaiytan laughed at him and said he fell into his web.
Am I not better than this one [Musa (Moses)], who is Mahin [has no honour nor any respect, and is
weak and despicable] and can scarcely express himself clearly?
(Az-Zukhruf 43:52)
The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, “Allah the Almighty said, ‘Pride is My
cloak and greatness is My robe, and he who competes with Me in respect of either of them, I shall
cast into the Hell Fire.’”
[Sunan Abu Dawud - Classed as Sahih by Shaykh al-Albaani]
Narrated By Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "Allah will hold the whole earth, and roll
all the heavens up in His Right Hand, and then He will say, 'I am the King; where are the kings of
the earth?'"
[Al-Bukhari (7382) Bukhari: Vol: 6 Book 60 hadith 336 and Muslim (2787)]
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may
find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed
signs for a people who reflect.
(Ar-Rum 30:21)
"I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.”
(Trans Sahih al Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol 7 Book 67 hadith 5063. Sahih-Muslim, English
translation Vol 2 pg 703 No.3236)
When Abu Bakr Siddiq (RA) was a caliph, they discussed homosexuality, as when Ali (RA) was Caliph.
Ibn Abbas (RA) said you should topple wall on top of them.
Why would he say to burn their bodies? You burn the bodies of Muslim.
Why would he say to burn their bodies? You cant burn the bodies of Muslims.
There is a difference of opinion concerning the punishment for the one who commits sodomy. The
following are the opinions that were mentioned by Imam Ash-Shawkani in "Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol.
7/p122-124.
1) That he is killed with the sword, then burnt. This is narrated from Abu Bakr and 'Ali Ibn Abi
Talib.
2) That a wall should be collapsed upon him. This was the opinion of 'Umar and 'Uthman.
3) That he should be thrown from the highest building in the city, then that should be followed up
with him being pelted with rocks. This was the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas.
4) That he is stoned. This is narrated by Al-Bayhaqi from 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Ash-Sha'bi, Az-Zuhri,
Malik, Ahmad, Is'haq, and Ash-Shafi'i.
5) That they are burned. This was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, that Abu Bakr gathered the Sahabah
and 'Ali mentioned this, and the Sahabah agreed upon it. It was also mentioned by Al-Munthiri that
it was done by Abu Bakr, 'Ali, 'Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr, and Hisham Ibn 'Abdil-Malik.
6) That he is stoned, then burnt with fire. This is narrated from the Sahabah agreeing upon it in the
time of Abu Bakr.
7) That the punishment is the same as Zina, in that if he is a virgin, he is whipped, and if he is not,
then he is stoned.
That there is no prescribed punishment, rather it is left up to the Imam to perform Ta'zir, and this
was narrated from Abu Hanifah, and one narration from Ash-Shafi'i, and others.
Abu Bakr (RA), Ali (RA), Abdullah Ibn Zubayr (RA) and Hisham ibn Abdul Malik (RA).
Ash-Shawkani refutes the opinion of the punishment being the same as Zina, as well as the
opinion that there is only Ta'zir, and supports the opinion that he is killed, but does not appear to
specify which way of killing is the strongest.
Abu Hanifa (RA) was lenient with homosexuals. His opinion should not be taken seriously because it went
against the Ijmah of the Sahabas
Imam Shawkani (RA) refused the punishment of homosexuality as being same as Zinah
he didnt accept the opinion of Abu Hanifa that the homosexual is given Ta'zir (like 10 lashes etc).
It was also the Madhab of Imam Malik, as well as Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, and Imam Shafi
Whenever a child is not shown any love, the child becomes emotionally insecure and it is easy for
someone to exploit that child, because its called "damaged goods"
- rejection is the worst damage you can do to a child so that child is easy to exploit, there is a vacuum in
the child to be filled - the need to be loved and accepted by others.
Rejection is the worst damage that can be done to a child. If you are rejected you are damaged for life,
and not everyone can cope with rejection even for an adult.
If you ask a woman if she would propose to a man, she would say *hell no*
A man can get over rejection in five minutes, it takes a woman five years.
The female ego can't cope with rejection, this is why she will not propose.
The Prophet(saw) said: “When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel and says, ‘Verily I love so
and so; you should also love him’, and Gabriel begins to love him. Then he(Gabriel) makes an
announcement in the heaven saying, ‘Allah loves so and so, you should also love him’, and then
the inhabitants of the heavens (the angels) also begin to love him and then there conferred
honour upon him in the earth; and whenever Allah dislikes a servant of His, HE calls Gabriel and
says, ‘I dislike so and so you should also dislike him’, and then Gabriel also dislikes him and then
makes an announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven, ‘Verily ALLAH dislike so and so, so
you should dislike him’, and thus they also dislike him. Then he becomes the object of wrath of
the earth also”.
The Prophet(saw) said: “When Allah loves a servant, He calls Gabriel and says, ‘Verily I love so

makes an announcement amongst the inhabitants of heaven, ‘Verily ALLAH dislike so and so, so

the earth also”.
1) - EMOTIONAL LOVE
This is the love you have for your parents and siblings.
Verily! You (O Muhammad SAW) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And
He knows best those who are the guided.
(Al-Qasas 28:56)
If you love your parents and they are not Muslims, you did not do wrong as the prophet loved his uncle,
Abu Talib even though he was a kafir.
2) - PHYSICAL LOVES
This is when you are attracted to your spouse/partner. This is called chemistry.
You are not allowed to marry until you are absolutely sure about the chemistry.
The prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) always told his sahabahs to go and see the girl before
proposing, to ensure there was chemistry.
Allah (SWT) said in the Qur'an surah An Nisa verse 3
And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry (other)
women of your choice, two or three, or four but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly
(with them), then only one or (the captives and the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is
nearer to prevent you from doing injustice.
(An-Nisa 4:3)
From Abu Hurayrah: “I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when a
man came and told him that he had married a woman of the Ansar. The Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him, ‘Have you seen her?’ He said, ‘No.’ He
said, ‘Go and look at her, for there is something in the eyes of the Ansar.”
Mughirah ibn Shu’bah (RA) said that he proposed to a woman. So, the Prophet (SAW) said to him,
“Look at her. That would strengthen your love for one another”.
In the above hadith, the prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was ensuring that the sahabahs had
chemistry, which is why he instructed them to go see the women face to face.
Faskh is annulment, which is when you divorce your husband because of his evil character.
With the khula you have to return the dowry. With faskh you get the dowry back.
Jamilah (sister of ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy), came to the Prophet (SAW) and said: “O Messenger of
Allah (SAW), I have nothing against Thabit ibn Qays as regards his religion or his behavior, but I
hate to commit any act of kufr when I am a Muslim. The Prophet (SAW) said: “Will you give his
garden back to him?” - her mahr had been a garden. She said, “Yes.” So the Messenger of Allah
(SAW) sent word to him: “Take back your garden, and give her one pronouncement of divorce.” 3
3.
This is why the prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) told the husband to divorce his wife with one
pronouncement. So the prophet carried out a khula in the above hadith.
4) - DIVINE LOVES
Divine love is the love that Allah (SWT) has for His righteous servants.
(At-Tawbah 9:4)
5) UNCONDITIONAL LOVES
It’s to say to a person "I don’t care if you are a Muslim, Christian, atheist, I love you because you are my
child". This type of love is Haraam.
You are only allowed to love Allah SWT, His messengers, and sahabas unconditionally.
We love you if you love Allah (SWT) and hate you if you hate Allah (SWT).
This type of love #5 is in conflict with Al wala wal Bara; because of that unconditional love is Haraam love.
You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making
friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW ), even though they
were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has
written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh (proofs, light and true guidance)
from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell
therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily,
it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful.
(Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
6) TAINTED LOVES
So if a woman loves her husband but at the same time she has love for another man, she gave her
husband tainted love.
If you love your husband but also love a boyfriend, its an example of tainted love.
The virgins of paradise, they love they give to their husband is pure not tainted.
The women who live in Darul al Harb, they have a husband and a lover.
Wherein both will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no
man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them.
(Ar-Rahman 55:56)
If you have a wife in the dunya, she doesn't look at another man, she doesn't chat up another man, her
love is pure and it is not tainted.
If you understand Tawheed asma wa sifat, you will accept polygamy gracefully.
But if you have disease of hypocrisy, you will never accept polygamy gracefully.
In Afghanistan, since 1979 they haven’t seen one day of peace for 35 years.
Imagine how many men who died in that country, how can you frown on polygamy.
One of the signs of the last days is that for every man will be 50 women because of killing will be rife.
Narrated Anas: I will narrate to you a Hadith and none other than I will tell you about after it. I
heard Allah's Messenger ( )ﷺsaying: From among the portents of the Hour are (the following): 4.
Women will increase in number and men will decrease in number so much so that fifty women will
be looked after by one man
Shaitan manipulates this instinct to the extent where you become loyal to a fault.
Some people when they are invited to Tawheed, they want to practice what their parents practiced, even
if their parents were pagans.
When it is said to them: "Follow what Allah has sent down." They say: "Nay! We shall follow what
we found our fathers following." (Would they do that!) Even though their fathers did not
understand anything nor were they guided?
(Al-Baqarah 2:170)
People remain Barelvis, Shias, etc because they are loyal to their parents.
You’re not allowed to follow parents, you should follow Quran and Sunnah.
Some parents are Shias, they even cut their children on 10th of Muharram.
And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in
weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years give
thanks to Me and to your parents, unto Me is the final destination. But if they (both) strive with you
to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them
not, but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in
repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to
do.
(Luqman 31:14-15)
Do not allow shaitan to manipulate you, he knows its your natural instinct to follow parents, he uses that
to make you die as kafir.
You should be dutiful to your parents, but do not obey them unconditionally.
The first word revealed to the prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was Iqra (read) so we do things by the
book.
Allah (SWT) gave us this instinct so the human race would not become instinct you are not a woman
unless you give birth.
Beautified for men is the love of things they covet; women, children, much of gold and silver
(wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present
world's life; but Allah has the excellent return (Paradise with flowing rivers, etc.) with Him.
The four special women of paradise: 1- Asia the wife of the Pharaoh, Maryam mother of Jesus (AS),
Khadija (RAA) wife of Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), Fatima the daughter of
Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
When you see Dajjal women in America who live all their lives on tablets for birth control, they are not real
women.
Marry women who are loving and affectionate to their husbands, what have you done for the Ummah?
Even when you have a child and he died before puberty, he can intercede for you.
The Prophet said: “Marry women who are loving and affectionate. Woman who are able to have
children because it is by these women that my followers will supersede the followers of the other
prophets in number on the Day of Judgment”.
If you don’t love these things something is wrong with you : women, children, cattle horses it’s your
natural instinct.
And know that your possessions and your children are but a trial and that surely with Allah is a
mighty reward.
(Al-Anfal 8:2)
Sometimes your kids make you become coward you don’t want to go for jihaad, some times they make
you become stingy, and you don’t want to give sadaqa.
A'ishah, once when a child was brought to the Prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), he fondled him
and said, 'These children make cowards and misers of the parents. And they are the flowers of the
Almighty.'<< NO TAKHREEJ
The Holy Prophet said: Your children at times make you become tight-fisted and cowards”.
(Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal vol.4 pg.172)
Allah (SWT) gave us this instinct so that some of us can become great scholars.
Ulamah like Abu Hanifa (RA), Malik (RA), Shafi (RA), Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (RA).
One scholar from the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has more followers than Moses
(AS).
Imam Shafi (RA) alone has more followers than Musa (AS).
One alim/shaikh from Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has more followers than a
prophet (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Don't take the Ummah of Muhammad (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) for granted.
Even the Malikis, the whole of Nigeria is Maliki; Morocco Tunusia, Mauritania, Algeria, they are all Malikis.
Imam Maliki (RA) alone has more followers than Musa (Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
The whole of West Africa is Maliki, Senegal, Guini, Burkina Faso, Mali.
Musa (AS) travelled far to al Khidr, he was acting according to his instinct.
Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that
knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?" He (Khidr) said:
"Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me! "And how can you have patience about a
thing which you know not?" Musa (Moses) said: "If Allah will, you will find me patient, and I will
not disobey you in aught."
(Al-Kahf 18:66-69)
O you who believe! When you are told to make room in the assemblies, (spread out and) make
room. Allah will give you (ample) room (from His Mercy). And when you are told to rise up [for
prayers, Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause), or for any other good deed], rise up. Allah will exalt
in degree those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And Allah is
Well-Acquainted with what you do.
(Al-Mujadilah 58:11)
Say: "Are those who know equal to those who know not?" It is only men of understanding who
will remember (i.e. get a lesson from Allah's Signs and Verses).
(Az-Zumar 39:9)
#11 TO FEEL JEALOUSY OVER YOUR WIFE, DAUGHTERS AND OTHER MUSLIM WOMEN
A Muslim man killed a kafir because he was messing with Muslim women (he was a pimp).
Narrated By Abu Huraira: The Prophet; said, “Indeed, Allah has Ghayrah, and the faithful believer
has Ghayrah, and the Ghayrah which Allah has is provoked when a believer commits that which
Allah has forbidden.”
[Al-Bukhari (4925) and Muslim (2761)]
Abdullah ibn Umar reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Three people will not enter
paradise and Allah will not look to them on the Day of Judgment: the one who is disobedient to
his parents, the woman who imitates men and the ad-Dayooth (cuckold, weak man who feels no
jealousy over his womenfolk)..."
[Musnad Ahmad (2/134) No. 6180, Musnad al-Bazzar (12/270) No. 6051, al-Sunnan al-Kubra al-
Nasa'i (2/63) No. 2354, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-Tabarani (3/51) No. 2443]
Dayooth, a man who allows his wife and daughter to become corrupted in front of his eyes and he turns a
blind eye.
Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it
may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for
you. Allah knows but you do not know.
(Al-Baqarah 2:216)
You need to use Jihad to defend yourself, fighting is prescribed for you.
And if Allah did not check one set of people by means of another, the earth would indeed be full of
mischief. But Allah is full of Bounty to the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).
(Al-Baqarah 2:251)
If the Kuffar knows you have rockets that can flatten his city, he wont attack your city.
Obama wanted to go into syria and the Russians and Chinese said "Syria is not like Iraq" so he backed
down.
When Bush was in power, Putin invaded Georgia and Bush could not do anything about it.
You say Obama was weak, yet when Bush was in power, Putin invaded Georgia and couldn't stop it.
If Russia and China did not unite as one single Bloc, America would have been a rogue state invading
every country in the world.
India wanted to invade Pakistan, when Pakistan acquired nuclear bomb, they didnt want to invade
anymore.
That is because they say: "Trading is only like Riba (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading
and forbidden Riba (usury).
(Al-Baqarah 2:275)
"This shop, market, etc is mine" because you want to progress this causes the economy to grow.
Communism went against natural instinct in other fronts as well, spiritually, socially
don't forget your portion of the dunya.
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and
forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been good to
you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidun (those who commit
great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts).
(Al-Qasas 28:77)
Shaitan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal
sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty,
and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.
(Al-Baqarah 2:26)
In many countries like India, Pakistan, Morocco, there are Muslim prostitutes because of poverty.
Umar ibn al Khattab (RA) said "if poverty was a man I would have killed him with my own hands"
Anas Ibn Malik narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Poverty, in all probability, leads to
unbelief (kufr)...”
[Al-Bayhaqi narrated in 'Shu’ab al-Eemaan' (9/12) No. 6188 and Abu Na'eem narrated in 'Hileeyat
al-Awwleeyah' (3/109)]
You can’t make takfir on Muslim prostitutes because zina is not major kufr.
It’s not their fault, there is no Zakah system to look after them.
When there was no Caliph, the first thing the Muslims stopped was Zakah.
Shaitan uses this instinct against you, and turns you into a person who practice gluttony.
Ibn Umar (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, “The believer eats in one intestine, while the
disbeliever eats in seven intestines.’
The fattest country in the world is USA, the fattest in Europe is UK.
East Sussex in UK, the police had to arrest a man and take him to custody, because he was eating
himself to death.
http://news.sky.com/story/343984/man-who-could-eat-himself-to-death
Certainly! Allah will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do
righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), while those who disbelieve
enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their abode.
(Muhammad 47:12)
And there is (a saving of) life for you in Al-Qisas (the Law of Equality in punishment), O men of
understanding, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - see V.2:2)
(Al-Baqarah 2:179)
So he misled them with deception. Then when they tasted of the tree, that which was hidden from
them of their shame (private parts) became manifest to them and they began to stick together the
leaves of Paradise over themselves (in order to cover their shame). And their Lord called out to
them (saying) : "Did I not forbid you that tree and tell you: Verily, Shaitan (Satan) is an open
enemy unto you?"
(Al-A'raf 7:22)
Report of Abu Horarari (RA) the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“During the last days of my ummah there will be women who are clothed but naked, with
something on their heads like the humps of camels. Curse them, for they are cursed.” Another
hadeeth adds: “They will not enter Paradise or even smell its fragrance, although its fragrance can
be detected from such and such a distance.”
(Narrated by Muslim)
In a society where people do not cover their Aura, this is against the natural instinct.
O Children of Adam! Let not Shaitan (Satan) deceive you, as he got your parents [Adam and
Hawwa (Eve)] out of Paradise, stripping them of their raiments, to show them their private parts.
Verily, he and Qabiluhu (his soldiers from the jinns or his tribe) see you from where you cannot
see them. Verily, We made the Shayatin (devils) Auliya' (protectors and helpers) for those who
believe not.
(Al-A'raf 7:27)
17 THE INSTINCT TO LOVE AND HATE FOR THE SAKE OF ALLAH (SWT)
When you are a believer, you don’t have to make an effort to practice Al wala Wal bara.
You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making
friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW ), even though they
were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people). For such He has
written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh (proofs, light and true guidance)
from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to dwell
therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah. Verily,
it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful.
(Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: The Prophet (SAW) said, "There are three qualities whoever has
them, will taste the sweetness of Iman (faith): To love Allah and His Messenger (SAW) more than
anyone else; to love a slave (of Allah) only for (the sake of) Allah; and to abhor returning to
infidelity after Allah has saved him from it as he would abhor to be thrown into the fire (of Hell)."
[Al-Bukhari (21) and Muslim (43)]
If you have the above qualities you have the sweetness of iman.
The last (17th) is different in that its acquired when you are a believer.

Allah (SWT) spoke about his oneness in the Quran, surah An Anbiya verse 22:
Had there been therein (in the heavens and the earth) gods besides Allah, then verily both would
have been ruined. Glorified be Allah, the Lord of the Throne, (High is He) above what they attribute
to Him!
(Al-Anbiya 21:22)
Muadh Ibn Jabal (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah ((Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) said: "He
whose last words (in life) were 'La ilaha-ill Allah' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah)
shall enter Paradise”
[Sunan Abu Dawud (2/207) No. 3116, Musnad al-Bazzar (7/77) No. 2626, Tabarani in ‘al-Mu’jam al-
Kabir’ (20/112) No. 221, Mustadrak al-Hakim (1/503) No. 1299]
The person who dies with laa ilaha illah as their last words will go to paradise.
وإﻻ ﻟم ﯾﻔﺗﺢ ﻟك، ﻓﺈن ﺟﺋت ﺑﻣﻔﺗﺎح ﻟﮫ أﺳﻧﺎن ﻓﺗﺢ ﻟك، وﻟﻛن ﻟﯾس ﻣﻔﺗﺎح إﻻ ﻟﮫ أﺳﻧﺎن، ﺑﻠﻰ: أﻟﯾس ﻻ إﻟﮫ إﻻ ﷲ ﻣﻔﺗﺎح اﻟﺟﻧﺔ؟ ﻗﺎل:وﻗﯾل ﻟوھب ﺑن ﻣﻧﺑﮫ
Wahb ibn Munabbih was once asked, "Isn't the statement of la ilaha illa-llah the key to Paradise?"
He answered, "Yes, but every key has ridges. If you come with the key that has the right ridges,
the door will open for you. Yet if you do not have the right ridges the door will not open for you.”
[Sahih Bukhari, (2/71), al-Asma' wa al-Sifat al-Bayhaqi (1/274), Hilyatul-Awliya Abu-Naeem al-
Asbahani (4/66)]
No son (or offspring or children) did Allah beget, nor is there any ilah (god) along with Him; (if
there had been many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and
some would have tried to overcome others! Glorified be Allah above all that they attribute to Him!
(Al-Mu'minun 23:91)
If there were many gods, there would be many dispute and fight amongst each other.
For example, one god may say that I created the sun so I am taking it away.
When there is a dispute, who will back down? God doesn't back down.
Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there
are indeed signs for men of understanding. Those who remember Allah (always, and in prayers)
standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the
heavens and the earth, (saying) : "Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory
to You! (Exalted be You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from
the torment of the Fire.
We see the night and the day everyday; this is a great sign of the creation of Allah (SWT).
And have made the night as a covering (through its darkness), And have made the day for
livelihood.
(An-Naba 78:10-11)
Answer: The three incidences that took place between Musa (AS) and Khidr (AS).
However, Allah (SWT) said Khidr (AS) has more knowledge than you do.
Musa (Moses) said to him (Khidr) "May I follow you so that you teach me something of that
knowledge (guidance and true path) which you have been taught (by Allah)?" He (Khidr) said:
"Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!"And how can you have patience about a
thing which you know not?"Musa (Moses) said: "If Allah will, you will find me patient, and I will not
disobey you in aught. He (Khidr) said: "Then, if you follow me, ask me not about anything till I
myself mention it to you."
(Al-Kahf 18:66-70)
Narrated By Ubai bin Ka'b: The Prophet said, "Once the Prophet Moses stood up and addressed
Bani Israel. He was asked, "Who is the most learned man amongst the people. He said, "I am the
most learned." Allah admonished Moses as he did not attribute absolute knowledge to Him
(Allah). So Allah inspired to him "At the junction of the two seas there is a slave amongst my
slaves who is more learned than you." Moses said, "O my Lord! How can I meet him?" Allah said:
Take a fish in a large basket (and proceed) and you will find him at the place where you will lose
the fish. So Moses set out along with his (servant) boy, Yusha' bin Nuin and carried a fish in a
large basket till they reached a rock, where they laid their heads (i.e. lay down) and slept.
So it was an amazing thing for both Moses and his (servant) boy. They proceeded for the rest of
that night and the following day. When the day broke, Moses said to his (servant) boy: "Bring us
our early meal. No doubt, we have suffered much fatigue in this journey.
" Moses did not get tired till he passed the place about which he was told. There the (servant) boy
told Moses, "Do you remember when we betook ourselves to the rock, I indeed forgot the fish."
Moses remarked, "That is what we have been seeking.
So they went back retracing their footsteps, till they reached the rock. There they saw a man
covered with a garment (or covering himself with his own garment).
Moses greeted him. Al-Khadir replied saying, "How do people greet each other in your land?"
Moses said, "I am Moses." He asked, "The Moses of Bani Israel?" Moses replied in the affirmative
and added, "May I follow you so that you teach me of that knowledge which you have been
taught." Al-Khadir replied, "Verily! You will not be able to remain patient with me, O Moses! I have
some of the knowledge of Allah which He has taught me and which you do not know while you
have some knowledge which Allah has taught you which I do not know." Moses said, "Allah
willing, you will find me patient and I will not disobey you in aught. So both of them set out
walking along the sea-shore, as they did not have a boat.
In the meantime a boat passed by them and they requested the crew of the boat to take them on
board. The crew recognized Al-Khadir and took them on board without fare.
Then a sparrow came and stood on the edge of the boat and dipped its beak once or twice in the
sea. Al-Khadir said: "O Moses! My knowledge and your knowledge have not decreased Allah's
knowledge except as much as this sparrow has decreased the water of the sea with its beak."
[Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 3, Hadith #124]
Al-Kha,dir replied, "Did I not tell you that you cannot remain patient with me?" Then they both
proceeded till when they came to the people of a town, they asked them for food, but they refused
to entertain them. Then they found there a wall on the point of collapsing. Al-Khadir repaired it
with his own hands. Moses said,
If you had wished, surely you could have taken wages for it." Al-Khadir replied, "This is the
parting between you and me." The Prophet added, "May Allah be Merciful to Moses! Would that he
could have been more patient to learn more about his story with Al-Khadir."
Answer: The Zabur, the Torah, the Injeel, and the Quran.
Now, you might ask the why the ulama didn't mention the book of Abraham (AS).
It was reported that the Prophet (SAW) became angry when he saw that ‘Umar had a page with
something from the Torah written on it, and he (SAW) said: “Are you in doubt, O son of al-
Khattab? Have I not brought you something shining and pure? If my brother Musa were alive, he
would have no choice but to follow me.”
[Musnad Ahmad (3/387) No. 15195 and Sunan al-Darime (1/126) No. 435]
Since there is no book after the Quran, Allah (SWT) promised to protect the Quran.
Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'an) and surely, We will guard it
(from corruption).
(Al-Hijr 15:9)
The previous book are abrogated so there is no reason to protect them.
Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of
all praise (Allah).
(Fussilat 41:42)
A man asked the holy prophet (saws), do u think if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, treat
as lawful what is lawful and treat as haram whats haram and didn't add anything else I would go to
jannah? The prophet (saws) replied “yes”.
On the authority of Abee Abdillaah Jaabir ibn Abdillaah al-Ansaaree (may Allaah be pleased with
both of them) who said: “A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
“Tell me if I were to perform the obligatory [prayers], fast in Ramadhaan, treat the lawful as
permissible and treat the forbidden as unlawful and I do not add anything to that, would I enter
Paradise?” He [the Prophet] answered “Yes”.
(Recorded by Muslim)
Answer: The Six days Allah (SWT) used to create the universe and the havens.
And indeed We created the heavens and the earth and all between them in six Days and nothing of
fatigue touched Us.
(Qaf 50:38)
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven
and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
[Exodus 31:17]
They accuse Him of being tired after creating the universe and many more claims.
Because when Jesus (AS) comes back, he will abolish the jizya.
Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion, and He is Able to do all things. Who has created
death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed. And He is the All-Mighty, the Oft-
Forgiving; Who has created the seven heavens one above another, you can see no fault in the
creations of the Most Beneficent. Then look again: "Can you see any rifts?"
(Al-Mulk 67:1-3)
Answer: The eighth angels that will carry the throne of Allah (SWT) on the Day of Judgement.
And the angels will be on its sides, and eight angels will, that Day, bear the Throne of your Lord
above them.
(Al-Haqqah 69:17)
The ulama use this ayah against those who claim that the arsh of Allah (SWT) is an abstract.
Narrated Abu Said: The Prophet said, 'People will be struck unconscious on the Day of
Resurrection and I will be the first to regain consciousness, and behold! There I will see Moses
holding one of the pillars of Allah's Throne. I will wonder whether he has become conscious
before me of he has been exempted, because of his unconsciousness at the Tur (mountain) which
he received (on the earth)."
On the authority of Masruq who said: We asked 'Abdullah about the Qur'anic verse: “Think not of
those who are killed in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive, with their Lord, and they have
provision.” (Aali Imran 3:169). He said: We asked the meaning of the verse (from the Holy Prophet)
who said: "The souls of the martyrs live in the bodies of green birds who have their nests in
chandeliers hung from the throne of the Almighty. They eat the fruits of Paradise wherever they
like and then nestle in these chandeliers. Once, their Lord cast a glance at them and said: "Do you
want anything?" They said: "What more can we desire? We eat the fruit of Paradise wherever we
like." Their Lord asked them the same question thrice. When they saw that they would be
continued to be asked and not left (without answering the question), they said: "O Lord, we wish
that You may return our souls to our bodies so that we may be slain in Your cause once again.
When He (Allah) saw that they had no need, they were left (to their joy in Heaven)."
Answer: The nine signs that Allah (SWT) gave to Musa (AS) to take to the Pharaoh.
"And what is that in your right hand, O Musa (Moses)?"He said: "This is my stick, whereon I lean,
and wherewith I beat down branches for my sheep, and wherein I find other uses.(Allah) said:
"Cast it down, O Musa (Moses)!"He cast it down, and behold! It was a snake, moving quickly Allah
said:" Grasp it, and fear not, We shall return it to its former state, "And press your (right) hand to
your (left) side, it will come forth white (and shining), without any disease as another sign, That
We may show you (some) of Our Greater Signs "Go to Fir'aun (Pharaoh)! Verily, he has
transgressed (all bounds in disbelief and disobedience, and has behaved as an arrogant, and as a
tyrant)."
(Ta-Ha 20:17-24)
2- The rod
3- The famine
4- The flood
6- The lice
7- The frog
8- The locus
Ibn ‘Abbas, Mujahid, ‘Ikrimah, Ash-Sha’bi and Qatadah said: "They are his hand, his staff, the
years of famine, the failure of the crops, the flood, the locusts, the lice, the frogs and the blood.''
The Pharaoh saw these sign and turned to Musa (AS) to pray to his Lord to remove this suffering.
Allah (SWT) Said in the Quran Surah Al A'raf verse 134 to 135
And when the punishment fell on them, they said: "O Musa (Moses)! Invoke your Lord for us
because of His Promise to you. If you will remove the punishment from us, we indeed shall believe
in you, and we shall let the Children of Israel go with you." (But when We removed the punishment
from them to a fixed term, which they had to reach, behold! They broke their word!
(Al-A'raf 7:134-135)
10) WHAT ARE THE TEN THINGS THAT WILL ACCEPT AN INCREASE?
Whoever brings a good deed (Islamic Monotheism and deeds of obedience to Allah and His
Messenger SAW) shall have ten times the like thereof to his credit, and whoever brings an evil
deed (polytheism, disbelief, hypocrisy, and deeds of disobedience to Allah and His Messenger
SAW) shall have only the recompense of the like thereof, and they will not be wronged.
(Al-An'am 6:160)
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (RA), from the Messenger of Allah (SAW), from what he has related
from his Lord: Verily Allah ta’ala has written down the good deeds and the evil deeds, and then
explained it [by saying]: "Whosoever intended to perform a good deed, but did not do it, then
Allah writes it down with Himself as a complete good deed. And if he intended to perform it and
then did perform it, then Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds up to seven
hundred times, up to many times multiplied. And if he intended to perform an evil deed, but did
not do it, then Allah writes it down with Himself as a complete good deed. And if he intended it
[i.e., the evil deed] and then performed it, then Allah writes it down as one evil deed."
And (remember) when Musa (Moses) asked for water for his people, We said: "Strike the stone
with your stick." Then gushed forth there from twelve springs. Each (group of) people knew its
own place for water. "Eat and drink of that which Allah has provided and do not act corruptly,
making mischief on the earth."
(Al-Baqarah 2:60)
Answer: The family of Yusuf (AS) including his parents and his siblings.
(Remember) when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven
stars and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
(Yusuf 12:4)
Then He Istawa (rose over) towards the heaven when it was smoke, and said to it and to the earth:
"Come both of you willingly or unwillingly." They both said: "We come, willingly."
(Fussilat 41:11)
And the Dawn as it breathes away the darkness (At-Takwir 81:18) Yusuf Ali
16) WHY SOMETIME THE BABY RESEMBLES THE MOTHER AND SOMETIME THE FATHER?
Answer: Who so ever ejaculate first, the baby shall resemble that parent.
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said,...As for the child, if the man's discharge precedes the woman's
discharge, the child attracts the similarity to the man, and if the woman's discharge precedes the
man's, then the child attracts the similarity to the woman." [Bukhari Vol: 5 Book 58 Hadith 275]
Narrated Anas: The Prophet said, "As for the first sign of The Hour, it will be a fire that will collect
the people from the East to the West. As for the first meal, which the people of Paradise will eat, it
will be the caudate (extra) lobe of the fish-liver.
18) WHAT IS THE GRAVE THAT MOVES WITH ITS INHABITANT INSIDE?
Answer: Yunus (AS) in the belly of the whale.
And (remember) Dhan-Nun (Jonah), when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not
punish him (i.e. the calamites which had befallen him)! But he cried through the darkness (saying)
: La ilaha illa Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allah)], Glorified (and Exalted)
are You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I have been of the wrong-doers."
(Al-Anbiya 21:87)
If he hadn't made that dua, Allah (SWT) would have kept him in the belly of the whale until the Day of
Judgement.
Abdullah Ibn Rafi', the freed slave of Umm Salamah said I heard Abu Hurayrah narrated the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “When Allah wanted to keep Yunus in the belly of the whale, He
revealed to the whale. He said, “Take him inside but do not eat his flesh nor break his bones.”
When the whale went down to the depth of the sea, Yunus heard a voice, he said to himself, “What
is this?” Then Allah revealed to him, while he was inside the whale’s belly, that it was glorification
of the sea animals. Then while in that state, Yunus also glorified Allah which was heard by the
angels. They then said, "O our Lord, we heard a very weak voice coming from unusual land.”
Allah said, “That is My slave Yunus, he disobeyed me, so I detained him inside a whale in the
sea.” They said, “Is he the pious slave from whom the good deeds ascended to You everyday and
night?” Allah replied, “Yes”. So the angels then pleaded on his behalf, so Allah ordered the whale
to throw him out on the shore.”
[Tafseer al-Tabari (18/518), Tafseer Ibn Abi Hatim (10/3227) No. 18278, Musnad al-Bazzar (15/34)
No. 8227 and Tafseer Ibn Katheer (5/367)]
They said, “Is he the pious slave from whom the good deeds ascended to You everyday and
night?” Allah replied, “Yes”. So the angels then pleaded on his behalf, so Allah ordered the
whale to throw him out on the shore.”
[Tafseer al-Tabari (18/518), Tafseer Ibn Abi Hatim (10/3227) No. 18278, Musnad al-Bazzar (15/34)
No. 8227 and Tafseer Ibn Katheer (5/367)]
Then a (big) fish swallowed him and he had done an act worthy of blame. Had he not been of them
who glorify Allāh, He would have indeed remained inside its belly (the fish) till the Day of
Resurrection.
(As-Saffat 37:144)
19) What is the thing Allah (SWT) created that the Quran labelled it as mighty?
So when he (her husband) saw his [(Yusuf's (Joseph)] shirt torn at the back; (her husband) said:
"Surely, it is a plot of you women! Certainly mighty is your plot!
(Yusuf 12:28)
Usama Ibn Zayd (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I have not left behind me any
fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.”
Yusuf AS was a prophet, and a descendent of prophets, so his Lord saved him from committing
indecency and protected him from the evil plot of a woman. Yusuf AS is one of those who will be
shaded by Allah on the Day of Judgement. Prophet Muhammad SAW explained that the heat of the
Day of Judgment would be fierce, and people will be mingling with fear as they wait to be judged
by Allah. There will be however, certain categories of people shaded from this brutal heat. One of
them is a man who resisted the temptations of a beautiful, desirable woman by seeking refuge
with Allah.
(Bukhari)
Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: Once Allah's Messenger went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer)
on 'Eid-al-Adha or al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms,
as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why
is it so, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your
husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious
sensible man could be led astray by some of you." The women asked, "O Messenger of Allah!
What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?" He said, "Is not the evidence of two women
equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency
in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The
women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."
[Sahih Bukhari (1/68) No. 304]
"And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the
harshest of all voices is the voice (braying) of the ass."
(Luqman 31:19)
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: 'When you hear a rooster crowing, then
ask Allah for His bounties, for it has seen an angel, and when you hear a donkey braying, then
seek refuge in Allah from Shaitan, for it has seen a Shaitan'
21) WHAT ARE THE THINGS ALLAH CREATED WITH NO MOTHER AND FATHER?
Answer: The angels, Adam (AS), the she-camel of Salih (AS), and the lamb of Israel.
And they came to their father in the early part of the night weeping. They said:"O our father! We
went racing with one another, and left Yusuf (Joseph) by our belongings and a wolf devoured him;
but you will never believe us even when we speak the truth. And they brought his shirt stained
with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your ownselves have made up a tale. So (for me) patience is
most fitting. And it is Allah (Alone) Whose help can be sought against that which you assert."
(Yusuf 12:16-18)
When Ayesha (RAA) was slandered, she recited the same ayah.
23) Who spoke the truth yet they both entered the Hellfire?
Answer: The Jews and the Christians.
The Jews said that the Christians follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); and the
Christians said that the Jews follow nothing (i.e. are not on the right religion); though they both
recite the Scripture. Like unto their word, said (the pagans) who know not. Allah will judge
between them on the Day of Resurrection about that wherein they have been differing.
(Al-Baqarah 2:113)
24) WHAT ARE THE FOUR THINGS ALLAH HAS CREATED WITH HIS OWN HANDS?
Mujahid narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) said: “Allah created four things with His Hand; 1. The
Throne 2. The Pen 3. Adam and 4. The paradise of ‘Adn. He then said to the rest of the creation
‘Kun’ [Be] and it was.”
[Adh Dhahabi in ‘Mukhtasar al-‘Uluw’ (p105), Abu al-Shaikh al-Asbahani in 'al-‘Adhuma' (5/1555),
Tafsir al-Tabari (21/239), ‘The chain is authentic according to the conditions of Muslim.’]
25) WHO WAS THE FIRST RACIST AND THE FIRST MU'TAZILA (A RATIONALIST)?
(Allah) said: "What prevented you (O Iblis) that you did not prostrate, when I commanded you?"
Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You created from clay."
(Al-A'raf 7:12)
Ibless did not bow down to Adam (AS) because he wasn't intellectually convinced.
And this bowing was not the bowing of worship but a bowing of respect.
And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind)
generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will make
mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks (Exalted be You
above all that they associate with You as partners) and sanctify You." He (Allah) said: "I know that
which you do not know."
(Al-Baqarah 2:30)
The angels because they used qiyaas to say if Allah (SWT) gives mankind freewill then they would be
corrupt like the jinnkind.
27) WHAT FOUR THINGS OF JAHILLIYAH (IGNORANCE) THE UMMAH WILL NEVER GIVE UP?
“There are four matters of jaahiliyyah that exist among my ummah and they will not give them up:
boasting about one’s forefathers, casting aspersions upon people’s lineages, seeking rain by the
stars and wailing for the dead.”
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah - may Allaah be pleased with him - who said that the Prophet
- ﺻﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﯾﮫ وﺳﻠم- said: “None spoke in the cradle except three: ‘Eesa the son of Maryam, Jurayj’s
companion; Jurayj was a man of worship, he had a place of worship and while he was in it, his
mother came in and called upon him. He said to himself; ‘My Lord, my mother or my prayer?’
So he continued praying and she left. The next day she also came and called upon him while he
was in prayer, he said to himself; ‘My Lord, my mother or my prayer?’ So he continued praying
and again she left. The following day she came again and called upon him while he was in prayer,
he said to himself; ‘My Lord, my mother or my prayer?’ So he continued praying. She said: ‘O
Allaah, do not allow him to die until he sees the faces of prostitutes.’
The Children of Israel knew of Jurayj and his worship. There was a very beautiful prostitute who
offered to seduce him. She attempted to do so but he did not pay her any attention. She then
approached a herdsman who used to seek refuge in his place of worship, she offered herself to
him and he slept with her. She became pregnant, and when she gave birth, she claimed that it was
the child of Jurayj. They went to him, invoked curses over him, destroyed his place of worship
and attacked him. He said: ’Why are you doing this?’ They responded: ‘You fornicated with this
woman and she bore you a child.
So they brought him the child He said: ‘Leave me until I pray. When he finished praying he came
to the boy and poked him in his stomach. He said: ‘O child, who is your father? The baby boy
responded: ‘So and so the herdsman.’ So the people turned to Jurayj, kissing him and asking him
for forgiveness.
They offered to rebuild his place of worship in gold, but he refused and asked them to rebuild it
from mud just as it was before, and so they did.
1) There was also a baby who was being breast fed by his mother when a rider in fine garments
passed by on an agile animal His mother said: ‘O Allaah, make my child like him.’ The baby
stopped suckling and looked at him, he said: ‘O Allaah, do not make me like him. He then
continued suckling…”
Abu Hurayrah - May Allaah be pleased with him - said: ‘It is as if I can see Messenger of Allaah
- ﺻﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﯾﮫ وﺳﻠم- right now, as he is illustrating the scene of the baby’s suckling with his forefinger
in his mouth.
He continued: "They passed by a slave girl who was being beaten by people who were accusing
her of committing fornication and theft.' She was saying: `Sufficient is Allaah is for me, and the
best of Guardians He is The mother said: `O Allaah, do not make my child like her.' Again, the
baby stopped suckling, looked at her and said: ‘O Allaah! Make me like her.'
At this point, they spoke to each other, the mother said: `A good looking man passed by and I
asked Allaah to make my child like him, you asked Allaah not make you like him. We passed by
this slave girl while she was being beaten and being accused of fornication and theft, I asked
Allaah not to make my child like her, and you asked Allaah to make you like her.'
The child said: `That man was a tyrant, so I asked Allaah not to make me like him. They were
accusing the girl of fornication, while she did not commit it, and they were accusing her of theft,
while she did not steal, so I asked Allaah to make me like her" [Collected by both al Bukhaaree
and Muslim.]
“None spoke while in the cradle except three: ‘Eesaa ibn Maryam, Yusuf’s companion, Jurayj’s
companion and the son of Pharaoh’s daughter’s hair brusher
[Al Albaanee stated in As Silsilah ad Da’eefah #880: - Parts of al Albaanee’s speech will be
summarized or omitted, such as the details of the defects of some chains and the Jarh and
Ta’deel concerning the narrators as it is extensive.]
Allah sets forth an example for those who disbelieve, the wife of Nuh (Noah) and the wife of Lout
(Lot). They were under two of our righteous slaves, but they both betrayed their (husbands by
rejecting their doctrine) so they [Nuh (Noah) and Lout (Lot)] benefited them (their respective
wives) not, against Allah, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"
(At-Tahrim 66:10)
30) WHICH CITY WILL BE THE PLACE OF GATHERING ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT?
Answer: Jerusalem.
Abu Dhar Al-Ghiffari said, "Messenger of Allah, which is better, the prayers in this mosque of
yours or the prayers in (the mosque) of Jerusalem?" The Prophet ~ said, "Prayers in my mosque
are better than four prayers in Jerusalem, though it is the best place to pray, for it is the land of
Resurrection. A time will come when if a man can see Jerusalem through the loop with which he
hangs his whip [i.e. it is very close to him], it will be better for him than all the pleasures of this
world."
Mtilaawiyah ibn Humaidah Al-Qushairee related that the Messenger of Allah 0, said, "They
will be gathered here — and he A signaled with his hand toward Ash-Sham — walking, riding,
and passing on their faces, and they will be displayed before Allah. And upon their mouths
will be Al-Fidaam (a covering, which in this instance is meant to prevent them from
speaking)."

1. SHOWING OFF
-people like to show off, especially those with low self esteem
-and, whenever a person has a weakness of liking to show off,
-they cannot do things with sincerity of intention,
-they cannot do things for the sake of ALLAH
-they do things for fame and fortune
-you’re supposed to do good deeds to seek ALLAH's pleasure,
-but everything you do is to show off, not fisabilillah
-this is very sad, because you say ALHAMDULILLAHIRABBUL ALAMEEN
-ALL PRAISE IS FOR ALLAH LORD OF THE WORLDS
Whoever seeks knowledge to argue with the scholars, or to show off with the ignorant people, and
attracts the faces of the people towards him, Allah would enter him into the Hellfire." [Hasan -
Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah]
THREE MEN WILL BE DRAGGED ON THEIR FACES AND DUMPED INTO THE HELLFIRE
1. scholar (knowledge to show off)
2. mujahid (fought to show off)
3. spender (spent to show off)
So it is not permissible for you to seek knowledge with the wrong intention
...Verily! Allah likes not those who are glad (with ungratefulness to Allah's Favours). (Al-Qasas
28:76)
We have not sent down the Qur'an unto you (O Muhammad SAW) to cause you distress, (Ta-Ha
20:2)
-this is the surah that cause Umar to embrace Islam, it opened his heart
-and these people who are extremists, they always apostate from Islam,
-because they did not take the middle path in deen
-you should ALWAYS take the middle path in Deen
ALLAH SWT wants for you ease and comfort, ALLAH SWT does want for you difficulties
...Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you... (Al-Baqarah
2:185)
- the first weaknesses of mankind : they like to show off (especially those with low self esteem)
...Verily! Allah likes not those who are glad (with ungratefulness to Allah's Favours). (Al-Qasas
28:76)
Do you know why ALLAH SWT revealed this ayah? a man in the time of Musa was named Qaroon; ibn
Abbass said: he was a cousin of Musa; Qaroon would recite the Torah beautifully, and when he became
rich he became a munafiqh and left the religion
And Qaroon became jealous of Musa, he wanted the attention Musa was getting from the people and
Qaroon whenever he would come out of his house would show off his wealth in front of the people to
make people feel bad; the clothing he would dress were very expensive; he would come out of his house
displaying his wealth and his horses; the people who would : oh I wish I could like him (Qaroon) and when
Qaroon was told to give sadaqa, he declined to give sadaqa; he believed it was his individual effort that
caused him to be rich; he was jealous of Musa, and envied Musa -- he wished all the attention would be
on him even though he showed off with his wealth, the people still rallied behind Musa
Qaroon went to a woman and said : I will give you money if you tell the people Musa had an affair with
you; the woman took the money and she launched the accusation that she had an affair with Musa (a s);
and Musa said: who paid you to do this? and she named Qaroon; Musa went and prayed 2 rakat of salah.
And Musa raised his hands to ALLAH Swt and made a dua and he asked ALLAH SWT to destroy Qaroon
and, the specific dua was : OH ALLAH, make the earth swallow Qaroon -- the earth swallowed Qaroon up
to his ankle, then Musa made the dua : oh ALLAH make the earth swallow Qaroon up to his knees -- this
all took place in front of the people; Musa then said : OH ALLAH make the earth swallow him up to his
waist, and then his chest - then eventually all of Qaroon; Musa then made the dua : OH ALLAH make the
earth swallow up his wealth
The scholars of tafseer has said: right now Qaroon is sinking further and further into the earth on daily
basis; many of you think when you read the story of Qaroon (surah 28), you think the reason why the
earth swallowed him up because he showed off with his wealth -- that is NOT the reason why; the reason
why the earth swallowed him up because of the dua of Musa; the real reason : Qaroon paid a woman to
lie and accuse Musa of having an affair with him; Musa went to the woman and asked her who paid her,
and she told Musa it was Qaroon; this is proof that the prophets do not know the ghaib -- the unseen --
Musa said : WHO paid you to do it? So Qaroon showed enmity to Musa; Qaroon actually declared war on
ALLAH ; this is why the earth swallowed him up
EVERY PROPHET HAS AN ABU JAHL AND ABU LAHAB IN THEIR TIME
- ALLAH SWT answered the dua of Musa,
- and the earth swallowed Qaroon up in front of his own people
- because when you lie on a prophet, you lie on ALLAH
- and ALLAH SWT said:
- "anyone who declares enmity on a servant of mine,
- I declare war on that person "
'Whosoever acts with enmity towards a Friend of Mine, I will indeed declare war against
him"[Hadith Qudsi: Bukhari]
Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (Devil ¬ Satan) is ever
ungrateful to his Lord. (Al-Isra 17:27)
Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (Devil ¬ Satan) is ever
ungrateful to his Lord. (Al-Isra 17:27)
- the man who uses money to smoke crack cocaine : that’s more expensive than cigs
- and you’re not allowed to get married to a person who has a drug problem
- that person is a waste of space
- that person is a low life, scum of the earth and a waste of space
- NOT marriage material
- that’s how desperate you are? to marry a person on crack?
- if a person is on medication, because the doctor gave him/her medication
- then this is okay
- but NOT a person who is abusing drugs
- a person who is on drugs, that is the shaitan in human form
- womanizing and gambling are other ways to waste money
- a womanizer has no savings, because before these women go to bed with you,
- you have to spoil them rotten - you think they will go to bed with you for free?
- why don’t you get married to a woman and settle down?
- why sleep around and waste your money
- there is no such a thing as a free romance
- if you don’t give money to your wife money to go shopping for food,
- he has no sexual (conjugal rights )
- whether you’re in Islam or jahiliyya,
- there is NO such a thing as a free romance
- when you go to paradise, was it free? NO
- you perform salah, zakah, sawm , hajj, and jihad
- how did the mujahideen earn 72 virgins in paradise?
- because they sacrifice their lives on the battlefield
Verily, Allah has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs
shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allah's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a
promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the
Qur'an. And who is truer to his covenant than Allah? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have
concluded. That is the supreme success. (At-Tawbah 9:111)
If you don’t give money to your wife money to go shopping for food,
-he has no sexual (conjugal rights):: this is Shariah
-how can you marry a gambler? every cent he has he wastes it in the casinos
-this person is a shaitan in human form
-there are many people in the world in their 60s and 70s who are begging
-why did they not use their youth to prepare for their old age?
-because they wasted their time
-that is another thing people waste: TIME
-when people ask you a question,
-you’re not allowed to beat around the bush
O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. (Al-Ahzab
33:70)
“The one who borrows money with the intention to pay it back, Allah (SWT) will make a way for
him to pay back what he owes. And the one who borrows money with the intention not to pay it
back, Allah (SWT) will destroy him.” (Al-Bukhari, 2387)
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The one who gets married with the intention not to pay dowry to his
wife is a fornicator. And the one who borrows money with the intention not to pay back is a thief.”
(Ibn Hiban, 2/270)
When you marry a girl and you did not pay her dowry, you’re a fornicator -- and if that girl raises her
hands and makes dua against you, YOU’RE FINISHED because she is oppressed
In another hadith; The Prophet (SAW) declared: 'Three du'as are surely answered: The du'a of the
oppressed, the du'a of the traveler, and the du'a of the father/mother (upon their child)'. The One
who is suffering injustice is heard by Allah (SWT) when he invokes Allah (SWT) to retain his rights
from the unjust one or oppressor. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]
Shaikh Faisal’s advice : don’t lend what you can’t afford to lose
- because the majority of people do not want to pay you back --
- the longest ayat in the Quran : 2:282 is talking about money
- people are so corrupt, you may lend him 5000 US dollars and he will say
- you only lent me 500 dollars (he took away a zero)
O you who believe! When you contract a debt for a fixed period, write it down. Let a scribe write it
down in justice between you. Let not the scribe refuses to write as Allah has taught him, so let
him write. Let him (the debtor) who incurs the liability dictate, and he must fear Allah, his
Lord....(Al-Baqarah 2:282)
4. LAZINESS
1.SPIRITUAL LAZINESS
- where a person does not want to pray, read Quran, or make dhikr
- the scholars have mentioned about a man who abandons salah due to laziness :
- Ahmad ibn Hanbal said this man is a kaafir
Narrated 'Abdullah ibn Shaqiq al-'Aqeely, "The companions of Muhammad (SAW), did not
consider the abandonment of any act, with the exception of prayer, as being disbelief (kufr)."
(Tirmizhi and al-Hakim, who said it met al-Bukhari’s and Muslim's conditions)
Abu Hanifa, Imam Malik and Imam Shafi'i say he is still a Muslim
- the correct opinion is that of Ahmad ibn Hanbal
The difference between a man (Muslim) and shirk and kufr is the abandoning of salah. (Sahih
Muslim: Kitab ul Iman: Book 001, Number 0147)
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren
in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)
...And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). (Al-Isra 17:15)
Because of the ayah 17:25 --- Ali refused to fight the Khawarij until he established the hujjah; there are
millions of people in the world today who don’t pray, but you’re not allowed to make takfir on them until
you establish the hujjah; many of you think, that you need to give the person a week, month or year to
accept the hujjah; this is dodgy aqeedah; when you establish the hujjah, they HAVE TO ACCEPT IT
IMMEDIATELY
A man went up to the Rasul for an opinion, he then went to Abu Bakr and his for HIS opinion : abu Bakr
said did you ask the Rasul ? the man said: yes -- Abu Bakr drove him away -- the man went to Umar and
asked his opinion -- when Umar found out that he came to Umar for his opinion after hearing the Rasool’s
opinion , Umar chopped off the mans head; and no one disputed what Umar did
If you come to the masjid wearing a gold ring, and the imam tells you that gold is haraam for men, you
cannot tell the imam : give me a month to give up the gold because I've been wearing gold since I was
16, and now I am 40; this kind of reasoning does not exist; see 5:90
O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, Al¬Ansab, and Al ¬Azlam
(arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitan's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid
(strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. (Al-Ma'idah 5:90)
When ALLAH (swt) revealed 5:90 telling the Sahabahs that alcohol was haraam; the Sahabahs were still
drinking; the Sahabahs were drinking and when they heard the ayat they did not say : I am going to have
my last drink -- no instead they spat out the alcohol that was in their mouths; the scholars of Islam said :
the streets of medina was flowing with alcohol, because they threw it all out immediately; but the
munafiqh wants time to give it up -- but what if they die?
Why were the Sahabahs able to spit out the alcohol and throw it out? because they had taqwa -- they
love ALLAH (SWT) and they fear ALLAH (SWT) before you can implement Shariah, you need the
foundation, and you need to have taqwa and tawheed
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to
a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the
Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be
offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat
of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if
they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people." [Sahih
Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #469]
2. PHYSICAL LAZINESS
- to refuse to work and feed your family
- the person who is physically lazy loves to beg
- don’t you know to work and feed your family is an act of Ibaada?
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) as saying: It is better for any one of you to tie a
bundle of firewood and carry it on his back and sell it than to beg a person, he may give or may
refuse. [Sahih Muslim, Book 5, Hadith #2269]
When a man is always begging from people. he would meet Allah (in a state) that there would be
no flesh on his face. Muslim 33 Book 5 pg 2263
You’re allowed to be a professional beggar if you work for charity; if you work for a Muslim charity; you’re
considered a professional beggar which is allowed because you did not beg for yourself but for charity,
and ALLAH SWT said : those who beg for charity; you’re allowed to give them a salary
As-Sadaqat (here it means Zakat) are only for the Fuqara' (poor), and Al-Masakin (the poor) and
those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts of those who have been
inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allah's Cause (i.e.
for Mujahideen - those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveler who is cut off
from everything); a duty imposed by Allah. And Allah is All-Knower, All-Wise. (At-Tawbah 9:60)
"It is enough to call a man a liar that he narrates everything he hears" Saheeh al-Jaami' 4482 and
Jaami' as-Sagheer
O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with a news, verify it, lest you harm
people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done. (Al-Hujurat
49:6)
The kuffaar have said they’ve killed Osama bin Laden and dumped him into the sea -- they did not
provide any proof for this; when they captured Saddam Hussain, they paraded him all over the world to
show they’ve captured him; now , if they have killed Osama bin laden as they claim, they would have
paraded it in the media; there are Muslims who actually believe the kuffaar media; they don’t investigate
what they hear;
Story of incubators: a nurse said : the Iraqi soldiers dumped babies out of incubators and shipped the
incubators back to Iraq -- when it was investigated it was found that the nurse was related to an Iraqi
government figure -- in reality, no babies were dumped; the kuffaar have said they’ve killed Osama bin
laden and dumped him into the sea
"It is enough to call a man a liar that he narrates everything he hears" Saheeh al-Jaami' 4482 and
Jaami' as-Sagheer
One of the signs of the last days : the people will believe liars and not listen to those who speak the haqq
Alexander Litvinenko - BLOWING UP RUSSIA
http://www.ocnus.net/cgi-bin/exec/view.cgi?archive=106&num=27035
Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Aas (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Allah
will not take away knowledge from the people all at once. But, he will take away knowledge by
taking away the Ulama (one by one) till no scholar survives. The people will take the ignorant for
leaders and will ask them and they will issue verdicts without knowledge, going astray
(themselves) and leading (others) astray.” [Ahmed 6521,Bukhari 100, Muslim 2673, Tirmidhi 2661,
Ibn e Majah 52]
The kuffaar killed Alexander Litvinenko for exposing them; if you write a book against an establishment,
and they invite you for lunch, you cant go to them for lunch! the Rasul said: you should only eat with
righteous people; Alexander Litvinenko wrote a book against the kuffaar, the kuffaar invited him for lunch;
he should have smelled a rat; the kuffaar poisoned him at the lunch; he died from this poison, BUT
Alexander Litvinenko took Shahadah, so Alhamdulilah at least he did not die a kaafir
The Rasul said: you should only share your food with righteous people (hadith)
The Prophet, Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam said, "Do not take someone as a friend, unless he is a
believer, and nobody should eat your food unless he is pious." [Abu Dawud 41:4832]
5. BEGGING
-the Rasul said: it is better for you to sell fire wood over your back than to beg
-ALLAH SWT has said : man will accomplish what he has strived for
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad), (An-Najm 53:39)
6. SEXUAL WEAKNESS
-the shaitan is so clever, some people he have turned into gigolos, and some he has turned to priests
-these priests who abstain from woman, ALLAH (SWT) has said this is a bidah (a cursed innovation)
...But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but
(they sought it) only to please Allāh therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right
observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of them
are Fāsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allāh). (Al-Hadid 57:27)
-the shaitan causes people to lose the mark; they cannot keep the balance
-the sexual instinct is one of the most powerful instincts
-how can you abstain from it?
-a gigolo is on the opposite side of the spectrum
-Muslims practice nikah
I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.”(Sahih Bukhari and Sahih
Muslim)
-those who abstain from women, they are not among the followers of Muhammad (saw)
-so how can anyone say there is such a thing as a gay Muslim?
"If you find anyone doing as Lot’s people did, kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is
done" (Abu Dawud, Vol. 3, p. 145, No. 4447)
The caliphs caught the homosexuals and killed them and burned their bodies and did not give them
janaza; if they were Muslims why were their bodies burned? we don’t burn the bodies of Muslims; this is
proof that there is no such thing as a gay Muslim; some gays in cape town wanted to paint a masjid PINK!
this is due to the dodgy fatwas of some who say gays can be Muslims.
NO CALIPH DID JANAZA OVER A GAY
If it was possible for a gay to be Muslim, then why did they catch the homosexuals and stone them and
burned their bodies and did not pray janaza over them -- if they were Muslims why were their bodies
burned? we don’t burn the bodies of Muslims
Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw-bones
and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for
him." Bukhari, Volume 8, Book 76, Number 481
-the Rasul said: if you can control 2 organs, I can guarantee paradise:
-what is between your legs and what is between your jaw (tongue and private parts)
And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts) (Al-Mu'minun 23:5)
Except from their wives or (the captives and slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they
are free from blame; (Al-Mu'minun 23:6)
But whoever seeks beyond that, then those are the transgressors; (Al-Mu'minun 23:7)
* a virgin is not allowed to masturbate with dildos, because she violates her honor
** her husband will not think she is a virgin
How many corrupt politicians have lost their careers because of this weakness?
DAVID MELLOR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mellor
The politician David Mellow: he was said to be pro Palestinian; they bugged his phone and found out he
was having an affair, and this ended his career; he went to Palestine and he criticized the Jews on what
he was doing to the Palestinians, then when he came back to UK his career was over
“I have not left behind me any fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.” Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, 5096; Muslim, 2740.
Shaikh only called the name of a few politicians but he can call the name of many more
And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah [i.e. anything that
transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives
him). (Al-Isra 17:32)
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "Whenever a man is alone with a woman the
Devil makes a third." [Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi 3118]
..No one laden with burdens can bear another's burden... (Al-Isra 17:15)
No one can bear the burden of another so the parents are to be to blamed for committing zina; you cant
discriminate against the bastard child but the Malakis and Shafi’i say NO, a bastard child cannot lead the
salah; some scholars even say : a bastard child cannot bear witness in a courthouse; the bastard child
cannot take the name of his father, and he cannot inherit a penny from the father; if his fathers name is
Abdullah and the mothers name is Maryam, the bastard child’s name would be Abdullah ibn Maryam; a
revert cannot be a bastard child; when the revert takes Shahadah, it wipes out everything before; the law
of the bastard child applies only in dar ul Islam.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd night of The 25 Weaknesses of Mankind continue now…
Bismillah…
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "Whenever a man is alone with a woman the
Devil makes a third." [Ahmad and Al-Tirmidhi 3118]
-stay away from the avenue of the tongue, seeing her, going to her apartment
-our private parts confirm or negate the zina
-Sufis do khawla a lot
-they prefer to have married women thinking
-they will be ashamed to tell their husbands
-Sufis exploit the Mureeds (they follow the PEER, a Sufi master)
Prophet Muhammad said: “Who protects his tongue from unlawful utterances and his private
parts from illegal sexual intercourse; I shall guarantee him entrance into Paradise.” (Bukhari and
Muslim)
The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and
whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy
unless and until he gives it up. 1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays. 2. Whenever he speaks,
he tells a lie. 3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous. 4. Whenever he quarrels,
he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner." [Bukhari, Book 2, Hadith #33]
Frenemy are people who is an avowed enemy but PRETENDS to be your friend
-taqwah makes you wise to who is your real friend
-taqwah means you are God-fearing
And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (tanks, planes,
missiles, artillery, etc.) to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides whom,
you may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of
Allah shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly. (Al-Anfal 8:60)
They are so clever w/ their hypocrisy, they can hide it
-the person Shaikh is speaking about spied on mujahideen and then told the kuffaar
-we have enemies we do not even know about
-only Allah 'tala knows them
"There is no faith for the one who has no trust, and there is no religion for the one that does not
fulfill his promises." Ahmad
WHEN YOU TALK TO SOMEONE ON PALTALK, WE SAY: DON'T COPY/PASTE MY CHAT W/ YOU
-if you don't say that, they will share it w/ others
-this is a type of deception
On the authority of Asmaa bint Yazid who narrated "that she was once in the presence of the
Prophet and there were both men and women sitting. The Prophet then said: "Perhaps a man
might discuss what he does with his wife, or perhaps a woman might inform someone what she
did with her husband?" The people were silent Then I said: "O, Yes! O Messenger of Allaah verily
both the women and men do that." Then the Prophet said: "Do not do that. It is like a male
shaitaan who meets a female shaitaan along the way, and has sex with her while the people look
on!" [Ahmad: Hasan or Saheeh due to supports]
-some women in the time of the Rasool sat and discussed their jim3aa lives [s-x]
-he said not to do this because it's like other looking on as you have jim3aa
-if the women of today sat down, that might be all they talked about
-esp since the female Sahabahs did it
-it's a type of treachery and men are guilty of this weakness, more than women
-men like to brag and boast about their ability to satisfy a woman
MEN also like to double their s-xual partners; if they have 5 they say they had 10
-this is from their male ego
-worst thing a woman can do to a man is to tell him he is not good in bed
-or my new man is better than you!!
And they (women) have rights (over their husbands as regards living expenses, etc.) similar (to
those of their husbands) over them (as regards obedience and respect, etc.) to what is
reasonable, but men have a degree (of responsibility) over them. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.
(Al-Baqarah 2:228)
The Prophet said, "Do good deeds properly, sincerely and moderately, and receive good news
because one's good deeds will NOT make him enter Paradise." They asked, "Even you, O Allah's
Apostle?" He said, "Even I, unless and until Allah bestows His pardon and Mercy on me." (Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 76, No 474)
MICHAEL JACKSON
-his father laughed at his nose
-so he had many plastic surgeries on his nose
In the time of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam), a man had a problem w/a son
-he called him a DUNG BEETLE
-but we're told to give our children good names
It is reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, you will be
called by your names and by your fathers' names, so give yourselves good names." (Hadith Abu
Dawud)
In Malakis madhab, your child can't lead salah in masjid w/ a bad name
-bad name (bastard child)
-we give them low self esteem in our ummah
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib: The Prophet appointed 'Abdullah bin Jubair as the commander of the
infantry men (archers) who were fifty on the day (of the battle) of uhud. He instructed them, "Stick
to your place, and don't leave it even if you see birds snatching us, till I send for you; and if you
see that we have defeated the infidels and made them flee, even then you should not leave your
place till I send for you." Then the infidels were defeated. By Allah, I saw the women fleeing lifting
up their clothes revealing their leg-bangles and their legs. So, the companions of 'Abdullah bin
Jubair said, "The booty! O people, the booty ! Your companions have become victorious, what are
you waiting for now?" 'Abdullah bin Jubair said, "Have you forgotten what Allah's Apostle said to
you?" They replied, "By Allah! We will go to the people (i.e. the enemy) and collect our share from
the war booty." But when they went to them, they were forced to turn back defeated. At that time
Allah's Apostle in their rear was calling them back. Only twelve men remained with the Prophet
and the infidels martyred seventy men from us. On the day (of the battle) of Badr, the Prophet and
his companions had caused the 'Pagans to lose 140 men, seventy of whom were captured and
seventy were killed. Then Abu Sufyan asked thrice, "Is Muhammad present amongst these
people?" The Prophet ordered his companions not to answer him. Then he asked thrice, "Is the
son of Abu Quhafa present amongst these people?" He asked again thrice, "Is the son of Al-
Khattab present amongst these people?" He then returned to his companions and said, "As for
these (men), they have been killed." 'Umar could not control himself and said (to Abu Sufyan),
"You told a lie, by Allah! O enemy of Allah! All those you have mentioned are alive, and the thing
which will make you unhappy is still there." Abu Sufyan said, "Our victory today is a
counterbalance to yours in the battle of Badr, and in war (the victory) is always undecided and is
shared in turns by the belligerents, and you will find some of your (killed) men mutilated, but I did
not urge my men to do so, yet I do not feel sorry for their deed" After that he started reciting
cheerfully, "O Hubal, be high! (1) On that the Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you
answer him back?" They said, "O Allah's Apostle What shall we say?" He said, "Say, Allah is
Higher and more Sublime." (Then) Abu Sufyan said, "We have the (idol) Al Uzza, and you have no
Uzza." The Prophet said (to his companions), "Why don't you answer him back?" They asked, "O
Allah's Apostle! What shall we say?" He said, "Says Allah is our Helper and you have no helper."

HOW CAN WE HAVE LOW SELF ESTEEM WHEN WE'RE TOLD IN 25:44....?
Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are
even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than cattle). (Al-Furqan 25:44)
THE KUFFAAR ARE NARROW MIND
-they were told not to go into Afghan
-they thought they would survive it
-but the US has been bankrupted because of these wars
-so Obama thinks if he kills a popular shaikh,

“A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with little food) and a kaafir (unbeliever) or a
hypocrite eats with seven intestines" (Bukhari)
while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their abode.
(Muhammad 47:12)
SHAIKH KNOWS THE AGE, HEIGHT AND WEIGHT OF MOST SISTERS IN HERE
-then he asks doctors who come here if they are obese or too skinny
-they will say if the woman is ready for marriage
SHAIKH ASKS QUESTIONS THAT ARE NOT ONLY ON THE DEEN BUT ALSO YOUR WELL-BEING
ON
-psychology and physical health, too
-one was very overweight and did COMFORT EATING after her divorce
-if you're depressed, go be w/ practicing Muslims
-some will over eat or spend too much money when depressed
-man in UK was eating himself to death
-another in US weighed one ton
So Whosoever abandons the wise Shariah which was revealed upon Muhammed ibn Abdullah, the
seal of the prophets, and goes to other abrogated Shariah for judgment, he becomes a Kaafir. So
how about the one who goes to al-Yaasiq (man-made law) for judgment and gives it precedence
(over the Sharia of Muhammed (saw). Whosoever does this has become a Kaafir by the Ijma of the
Muslims. Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah, Vol 13, p119

ZAKAH - to grow
ZAKAH - to purify your wealth
...And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakat of which has not been
paid], and spend it not in the Way of Allah, -announce unto them a painful torment. (At-Tawbah
9:34)
"Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of
Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black
spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, 'I am your
wealth, I am your treasure.' Bukhari Volume 2, Book 24, Number 486.
Abu Bakr - fought and killed those who did not pay zakah
-he fought them as kuffaar because they denied the pillar of zakah
Abu Bakr said: By Allah, I would definitely fight against him who severed prayer from Zakat, for it
is the obligation upon the rich. By Allah, I would fight against them even to secure the cord (used
for hobbling the feet of a camel) which they used to give to the Messenger of Allah (as Zakat) but
now they have withheld it. Umar b. Khattab remarked: By Allah, I found nothing but the fact that
Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr for (perceiving the justification of) fighting (against those
who refused to pay Zakat) and I fully recognized that the (stand of Abu Bakr) was right. [Sahih
Muslim, Book 1, Hadith #0029]

13th WEAKNESS OF MANKIND is refusing to change their views even after the hujjah has been

-Nimrod and the Fir'awn had this problem
-Abu Jahl also had this problem
-They asked Rasulallah to describe al-Aqsa
-he did so successfully
-the Kuffar of Quraish asked Abu Jahl to believe in Rasulallah
-he refused in the name of Asabiyya saying his clan and Rasul's clan had problems
...But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad
which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)]. (Al-Baqarah 2:146)

*Politicians break their promises
Neither those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) nor Al-
Mushrikûn (the disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah, idolaters, polytheists, pagans, etc.) like that
there should be sent down unto you any good from your Lord. But Allah chooses for His Mercy
whom He wills. And Allah is the Owner of Great Bounty. (Al-Baqarah 2:105)
PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE THEIR OPINION WHEN THE HUJJAH IS ESTABLISHED
And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). (Al-Isra 17:15)
WEAKNESS: REFUSING TO CHANGE OPINION EVEN AFTER THE HUJJAH WAS ESTABLISHED
And We never punish until We have sent a Messenger (to give warning). (Al-Isra 17:15)
And they belied them (those Ayat) wrongfully and arrogantly, though their ownselves were
convinced thereof [i.e. those (Ayat) are from Allah, and Mûsa (Moses) s the Messenger of Allah in
truth, but they disliked to obey Mûsa (Moses), and hated to believe in his Message of
Monotheism]. So see what was the end of the Mufsidûn (disbelievers, disobedient to Allah, evil-
doers, liars.). (An-Naml 27:14)
IN DARUL HARB, they say envy and jealousy are the same thing
-in Islam, it's a good thing [jealousy - dayooth is to have no jealousy]
-a husband should feel jealous over his wife
By Allah, I am more jealous of my honour than he, and Allah is more jealous than I. [Sahih Muslim,
Hadith No. 3572]
When the woman had her hijab pulled off of her, she cried out to Mu'tasim
-he fought to restore her honor
-without jealousy, we don't go to paradise
Abdullah ibn Umar reported that the Prophet said: "Three people will not enter paradise, and
Allaah will not look to them on the Day of Judgment: the one who is disobedient to his parents,
the woman who imitates men and the ad-Dayooth." (Ahmad)
"Do not wish to be like anyone except in two cases. (The first is) A person, whom Allah has given
wealth and he spends it righteously; (the second is) the one whom Allah has given wisdom (the
Holy Qur'an) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others." (Fateh-al-Bari page 177 Vol. 1)
[Sahih Bukhari]
It is reported from Hudhaifa that news reached him (the Prophet) that a certain man carried tales.
Upon this Hudhaifa remarked: I heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) saying:
The tale-bearer shall not enter Paradise. [The Book of Faith No. 189 Muslim]
And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only
peacemakers." (Al-Baqarah 2:11)
Ibn ‘Abbas related that the Messenger of God, upon him be God’s blessings and peace, passed by
two graves and said: “They are being punished, but not for a great matter (on their part). One of
them did not clean himself from urine, and the other used to spread slander.” (Tirmidhi, “Tahara,”
53)
Narrated Ka'b ibn Malik: When the Prophet (SAW) intended to go on an expedition, he always

O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam (by obeying all the rules and regulations of the Islamic
religion) and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan (Satan). Verily! He is to you a plain enemy (Al-
Baqarah 2:208)
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter that
they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger, he
has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)
-we are not to come with our own opinion when the Hukm of ALLAH is there
-at the time of the Rasul a man came to Rasulallah for his opinion
-then he went to Abu Bakr
-Abu Bakr asked him if he went to Rasulallah
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge in all
disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions, and accept
(them) with full submission. (An-Nisa 4:65)
And when it is said to them: "Make not mischief on the earth," they say: "We are only
peacemakers." (Al-Baqarah 2:11)
Verily! They are the ones who make mischief, but they perceive not. (Al-Baqarah 2:12)
Abu Hurairah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "You will find on Day of Resurrection
the worst among the people, a double-faced person who appears to some people with one face
and to others with another face.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
And when they meet those who believe, they say: "We believe," but when they are alone with their
Shayatin (devils - polytheists, hypocrites, etc.), they say: "Truly, we are with you; verily, we were
but mocking." (Al-Baqarah 2:14)
Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that
which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah. And Allah is All Powerful, All
Wise. (Al-Ma'idah 5:38)
Cut off (from the wrist joint) the (right) hand of the thief, male or female, as a recompense for that
which they committed, a punishment by way of example from Allah. And Allah is All¬ Powerful,
All¬ Wise. (Al-Ma'idah 5:38)
-who are they to look down upon the laws of the Muslims? their society is not safe
-we cannot look down upon the Laws of ALLAH
-A Kaafir can never come to terms with the Laws of ALLAH because he is an Atheist
-This British is an Atheist, denies the existence of ALLAH,
-and disbelieves in ALLAH, how can they believe in cutting the hand of the thief?
-so to call Kuffaar to Shari'ah instead of Tawheed is wrong
-it’s not the right Manhaj
-we call to Tawheed first
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to
a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the
Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be
offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat
of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if
they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people." [Sahih
Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #469]
There are Muslims out there who cannot accept the fact
-that we must cut the hand of the thief
-how can we expect the Kuffaar to accept it?
-this is not possible
-the correct Manhaj is to invite them to the Tawheed of ALLAH
-as the hadith of Maud ibn Jabal says
Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (Devil ¬ Satan) is ever
ungrateful to his Lord. (Al-Isra 17:27)
Ibn Mas’ud (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “The feet of the son of Adam will not
move away from his Lord on the Day of Resurretion till he is asked about five things about his life,
how he spent it; about his youth, how he paseed it; about his wealth, how he eared it; and on what
he poured it; and what he did with that which he learnt.” (Tirmidhi 2424)
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad), (An-Najm 53:39)
I am as My servant thinks I am. I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention
of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I
make mention of …al-Buhkari, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah)
And by the begetter (i.e. Adam) and that which he begot (i.e. his progeny); (Al-Balad 90:3)
And by the begetter (i.e. Adam) and that which he begot (i.e. his progeny); (Al-Balad 90:3)
And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits,
but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:155)
Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall
return." (Al-Baqarah 2:156)
"But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur'an nor acts on its
orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of
Resurrection." (Ta-Ha 20:124)
Ibn Taiymiyyah said in Al-Furqan PP. 44-45: "This hadith has no sources and nobody whosoever
in the field of Islamic knowledge has narrated it. Jihad against the disbelievers is the most noble
of actions and moreover it is the most important action for the mankind.""We have come back
from the minor jihad to the major one" someone asked: "What is the major Jihad O Messenger of
Allah?" he replied: "Jihad of the nafs," (This report, collected by Bayhaqi is fabricated as
mentioned in Mannaar as-Subl of Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah)
"Whoever tells a lie against me (intentionally) then (surely) let him occupy, his seat in Hell-fire."
[Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 3, Hadith #107]
-because anyone who lies on Rasulallah will find his seat in the Fire
Do you consider the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of Al-Masjid-
al-Haram (at Makkah) as equal to the worth of those who believe in Allah and the Last Day, and
strive hard and fight in the Cause of Allah? They are not equal before Allah. And Allah guides not
those people who are the Zalimûn (polytheists and wrong-doers). (At-Tawbah 9:19)
-those in Jihad are far better than those who take care of the Haraam
-the Mujahideen are striving with their lives
-to give water to the pilgrims is a great deed but they cannot compare themselves to the Mujahideen
-we appreciate the ones who give water
-to the pilgrims in the Haraam but the Mujahideen are incomparable
-this hadith is not in Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasai...etc
-this Hadith is quoted on the Mimbar
-where did they get it from?
-Ibn Taymiyyah said it is nowhere to be found
"When you involve yourselves in interest bearing business transactions, and you hold on to the
tails of cows, and you are pleased with agriculture (i.e. the land) and you abandon making Jihad in
the Cause of Allah, Allah will send humiliation down upon you. He will not remove it from you until
you return back to your Religion." [Abu Dawood and al-Bayhaqee - Authentic Hadith told by
Ahmad]
Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you
victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people, (At-Tawbah 9:14)
Nothing will heal the pain we have in our hearts for the Muslims Chechnya, Bosnia, occupied
Palestine and Kashmir, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, etc than Jihad
Jihad (holy fighting in Allah's Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and it
may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for
you. Allah knows but you do not know. (Al-Baqarah 2:216)
Verily, the hypocrites will be in the lowest depths (grade) of the Fire; no helper will you find for
them. (An-Nisa 4:145)
Those who give respect to a bid'ati (innovator in Religion) surely will be counted as a helper of
destroying Islam. (Mishkat Sharif, p.31) (From The Virtues of Sunnah and the evils of Bid'ah in
Islam by Mufti Sayyid 'Abd al-Rahim Sahib Lajpuri)
Tahirul Qaadir called the Sikhs, Hindus, and Jews OUR brothers
-the Jews kill our Muslims in occupied Palestine,
-[how can they be our brothers?
-a wicked scholar is the magician of the Fir'awn
-we will never respect you because you are a scholar
-because even Ibliss is a scholar
-the Kuffaar wish to kill all the scholars on the Haqq
-they wish to extinguish al-Islam
-the people with Wahn in their hearts wish to flee from Jihad
-while they let the Kuffaar in our lands
-the Kuffaar rape our women
-put our men in concentration camps
-rub menstrual blood on the faces of the Mujahideen
-steal our oil
Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you
victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people, (At-Tawbah 9:14)
The Prophet (saw) "Whoever dies and he does not fight nor does he ever intend to fight (prepares
for it) then he dies on a branch of hypocrisy" (Muslim)
And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah)
and (all and every kind of) worship is for Allah (Alone). But if they cease, let there be no
transgression except against Az-Zalimûn (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.) (Al-Baqarah
2:193)

There will be years of deceit, in which a truthful person will be disbelieved and a liar will be
believed"that just before the Dajjal there will be treacherous years in which the liar will be

unreliable and the unreliable person will be trusted..." [Ahmad]

The 70 Major Sins
These Notes Cover The First 20 Major Sins And The Part 2 Audio Cover
The 50 Other Major Sins
The 70 Major Sins
By Shaikh Abdullah Faisal
If the punishment of Allah was mentioned, the sin is major for example, the punishment for theft is to cut
the right hand of the thief at the wrist, and the punishment for drinking alcohol is 80 lashes. We know that
these two sins are major because their punishments were mentioned.
A sin is major if the Quran or Hadith says "The curse of Allah is on so and so…”. Likewise, a sin is major
if the Quran or Hadith says on the Day of Judgement Allah wont look at so and so or speak to him.
It is worthy of mentioning that not every major sin is major kufr, this is where the khawaraj went
astray. They didn't fine tune their Tawheed. They paint every kufr with the same brush and claim kufr is
kufr.
Drinking alcohol and doing zina are major sins but not major kufr so the Muslim who drinks alcohol or
commits zina is still a Muslim. However, if a Muslim does black magic he is no longer a Muslim because
black magic is a major kufr that ejects you outside the fold of Islam.
The Khawarij paint every kufr with the same brush and make takfir on Muslims who drink alcohol or
commit zina. This is because they are jahil in regards to matters of tawheed.
Major shirk is to worship a false deity. Whoever dies in a state of committing major shirk has no
hope. Hence, he will be in hell-fire to abide forever. About him, Allah said:
Verily, Allah forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives
except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allah in
worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (An-Nisa: 43)
Because the pagans have no hope in the hereafter, since they die in a state of major shirk, we cannot ask
Allah to forgive them, even if they were our parents who died as mushrikeen. Allah forbade the Prophet
(saw) to pray and seek forgiveness for his uncle, Abu Talib, who died as a mushrik. Hence, Allah said:
It is not (proper) for the Prophet and those who believe to ask Allah's Forgiveness for the
Mushrikun (polytheists, idolaters, pagans, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) even though they
be of kin, after it has become clear to them that they are the dwellers of the Fire (because they
died in a state of disbelief). (At-Tawbah: 113)
Also, there is no excuse for the shirk of Ibadah, i.e. worshipping a false deity. According to the wicked
scholars, if a person who worships a false deity in the dunya, Allah will forgive him for his shirk in the
Hereafter because while he was worshipping a false deity in the dunya, he was ignorant and did not know
better. These wicked scholars are promoting the ideology that there is excuse of ignorance for anyone
who worshipped a false deity in the dunya. The following Quranic verse refutes this claim of the wicked
scholars:
And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their
seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying) : "Am I
not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection:
"Verily, we have been unaware of this." (Al-A'raf: 172)
Allah Took away the excuse of ignorance in the above Ayah. Therefore, the man who worships a false
deity in the dunya will abide in hell-fire forever in the Akhira [hereafter]. The following Hadith about the
plight of the Prophet’s (saw) father is another evidence to prove that there is no excuse of ignorance for
people who worship a false deity:
Narrated from Anas (RA) that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, where is my father?” He said:
“In Hell.” When he turned away he called him back and said: “My father and your father are in
Hell.” [Sahih Muslim (Vol. 1, pg. 191) No. 203]
The practitioners of black magic are infidels outside the fold of Islam, and this is the ijma of the scholars
past and present. The following Quranic verse is the evidence for making takfir on those who dabble in
black magic:
Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved, teaching men magic and such
things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two
(angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said, "We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by
learning this magic from us)" And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause
separation between man and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's
Leave. And they learn that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the
buyers of it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which
they sold their ownselves, if they but knew. (Al-Baqarah: 102)
It is unfortunate that many Muslims in India, Pakistan, and Africa dabble in black magic and the ulama in
their communities did not tell them that magic ejects them outside the fold of Islam. The Holy Prophet
(saw) has commanded us to kill the practitioners of magic in the following Hadith:
Jundub (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The hadd (prescribed punishment)
for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e., execution)" [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/60) No.
1460, Sunan al-Daraqutni (4/120) No. 3204, Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/401) No. 8073, al-Sunan al-
Kabir al-Bayhaqi (8/234) No. 16500, al-Mu'jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (2/161) No. 1665]
SIN 3: MURDER
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath
and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him. (An-Nisa: 93)
When you kill a believer, you take on his sins. Therefore, if this person use to drink alcohol and commit
zina these sins of his will be put on your scales on the Day of Recompense because you killed him
wrongfully.
Abdullah Ibn Mas‘ud (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “No soul is killed
unlawfully, but there is a share of the sin on the first son of Adam, because he was the first one to
set the precedent of killing.” [Related by al-Bukhari (3335) and Muslim (1677)]
SIN 4: RIBA
The Arabic word “Riba” means interest. There are two types of interest, quantity and quality. If we swap
gold for silver it becomes interest in quality. And if we lend $1000 and charge $1500 in payment it
becomes interest in quantity. Allah blesses charity and curses interest. Interest is a major sin because
the curse of Allah is on those who charge interest. When you give charity, Allah will increase your wealth:
Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And
Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners. (Al-Baqarah: 276)
O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba (usury)
(from now onward), if you are (really) believers. (Al-Baqarah: 278)
And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger but if you repent,
you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and
you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums). (Al-Baqarah: 279)
When I was in the University, I asked my shaikh how a person could be fought when the Prophet (SAW)
is no longer with us? He said it is the job of the Caliph to wage jihad on people who do riba.
Imam Abu Hanifa (RH) said any country who uses riba is dar ul Harb and he uses the above Ayah as his
evidence, i.e. 2:279
Many countries do not send troops to fight Muslims around the world but Imam Abu Hanifa has still
categorized them as Dar ul Harb. This is because of their riba system. They use the accumulated wealth
to cheat the people.This puts them at war with Allah and makes the country dar ul Harb. Imam Abu
Hanifa (RH) said you can bank your money in riba banks if you live in dar ul Harb with the intention to
collect riba. The following Hadith explains to the Ummah how grave riba is:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "Riba has seventy segments, the least
serious being equivalent to a man committing adultery with his own mother." [Sunan Ibn Majah
(3/337) No. 2274 and Mustadrak al-Haakim (2/43) No. 2259]
Abu Hanifa also said it is permissible to sell alcohol to the kuffar in dar ul Harb. Ahmed ibn Hanbal
disagreed with Abu Hanifa regarding Muslims selling alcohol to non Muslims.
SIN 5: TO STEAL FROM THE ORPHAN
Orphans are vulnerable. Some adults like to take charge of their wealth so as to rob them. When adults
rob orphans they are only gaining the Hell-fire for themselves; hence Allah said:
Verily, those who unjustly eat up the property of orphans, they eat up only a fire into their bellies,
and they will be burnt in the blazing Fire! (An-Nisa: 10)
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The best house among the
Muslims is the house in which orphans are well treated. The worst house among the Muslims is
the house in which orphans are ill treated. I and the guardian of the orphan will be in the Garden
like that," indicating his two fingers. [al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Bukhari No. 137]
Some people only take charge of the orphan's wealth because they have bad intentions. If a person
knows that they are weak in imaan and cannot be trusted, they should stay far away from the orphans
wealth. They should not expose themselves to temptation.
This is when you flee the battlefield due to cowardice. If you run away to regroup for a counter attack,
that's different and permissible. About this, Allah said:
And whoever turns his back to them on such a day - unless it be a stratagem of war, or to retreat
to a troop (of his own), - he indeed has drawn upon himself wrath from Allah. And his abode is
Hell, and worst indeed is that destination! (Al-Anfal: 16)
To run away due to cowardice is wrong. But you are allowed to run away from the battlefield as a war
tactic. Perhaps you are engaged in a war trick that involves you setting up a trap for the infidels to fall
into. This is a stratagem of war and is perfectly halal.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “War is deceit.” (Narrated by al-
Bukhari, 3029; Muslim, 58).
In many Muslim communities people like to slander others and accuse them of zina. This is because to
accuse a person of zina is an effective way to ruin their image. It is called character assassination. No
one is allowed to accuse a Muslim of zina unless he can provide four witnesses to say they saw the pen
in the ink. About this, Allah said:
And those who accuse chaste women, and produce not four witnesses, flog them with eighty
stripes, and reject their testimony forever, they indeed are the Fasiqun (liars, rebellious,
disobedient to Allah). (An-Nur: 4)
Verily, those who accuse chaste women, who never even think of anything touching their chastity
and are good believers, are cursed in this life and in the Hereafter, and for them will be a great
torment, (An-Nur: 23)
About zina, the Qadi will ask detailed questions, such as, ‘What position they were making love in’ etc etc.
Each witness has to have the same story, if not, they will receive 80 lashes for slandering a chaste
woman and the case will be thrown out of court. The punishment for slander is 80 lashes. This incident
happened during the time Omar when he was the Caliph as detailed in the below Hadith:
The case of Mughirah bin Shu`bah, in which `Umar punished Abu Bakrah and the other two eye-
witnesses on the charge of false accusation. A critical study of the entire case shows that this
precedent is not applicable to every case where the crime is not proved by proper evidence. The
facts of the case are that Mughirah bin Sh u`bah, the Governor of Basrah, did not have good
relations with Abu Bakrah, whose house was opposite to his house across the same street. One
day the windows of the two houses were opened by a strong current of wind. When 'Abu Bakrah
got up to close his window, he saw through the opposite window across the street Mughirah in a
state of actual sexual intercourse. He asked three of his friends (Naf`i bin Kaladah, and Shibl bin
Ma`bad) who were also sitting with him to stand up and witness what Mughirah was doing. The
friends asked him who was the woman. Abu Bakrah. said that she was Umm Jamil. The next day a
complaint to this effect was sent to `Umar, who immediately suspended Mughirah and appointed
Abu Musa Ash`ari as Governor of Basrah. Mughirah along with the witnesses was called to Al-
Madinah. When they were asked about the case, Abu Bakrah said that they had seen Mughirah
actually committing sexual intercourse with Umm Jamil, but Ziad said that the woman was not
clearly visible and that he could not say definitely whether it was Umm Jamil or not. During the
cross examination, Mughirah proved that they could not have seen the woman distinctly from the
place where they were standing. He also proved that there was a close resemblance between his
wife and Umm Jamil. Besides this, circumstantial evidence also showed that during the Caliphate
of `Umar, the governor of a province could not have committed this crime in his official residence,
especially when his wife was also living with him. Thus the supposition of Abu Bakrah and his
companions that Mughirah was having sexual intercourse with Umm Jamil, instead of his own
wife, was nothing but a misplaced suspicion. It was for this reason that `Umar not only acquitted
the accused but also punished Abu Bakrah, Naf`i and Shibl as slanderers. It is obvious that this
isolated decision was based on the specific circumstances of the case and not on the principle
that the witnesses must be' punished when they are not able to prove the charge by their
evidence. (For details of this case, see Ahkam al-Qur'an, Ibn al-`Arabi, Vol. II, pp. 88, 89).
Everyday women get killed in Pakistan because people accuse them of zina, they call it honor killing. But
no one saw 'the pen in the ink’, so many innocent Muslim girls got killed. Even if a Muslim girl should
fornicate, the punishment is 100 lashes, not death. Honor killing is culture and not Shariah.
Stay away from the 7 major sins: Shirk, magic, murder, riba, robbing the orphan, fleeing the battlefield
and slandering a pious, believing Muslim woman.
It was narrated from 'Ubaid bin 'Umair that :His father - who was one of the Companions of the
Prophet [SAW] - told him: "A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what are the major sins?' He said:
'They are seven; the most grievous of which are associating others with Allah, killing a soul
unlawfully and fleeing (from the battlefield) on the day of the march.'" It is abridged.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 4012: Vol. 5, Book 37, Hadith 4017
Narrated Abu-Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him); ‘The Prophet (SAWS) said: “Avoid the
seven great destructive sins.” The people enquired; ‘O Allah’s Messenger! What are they?’ The
Prophet (SAWS) said: To join others in worship along with Allah, to practise sorcery, to kill the life
that Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law), to eat up usury, to eat
up the orphan’s wealth, to show one’s back to the enemy and fleeing from the battlefield at the
time of fighting, and to accuse the chaste women, who never even think of anything touching
chastity and are good believers.” (Bukhari).
Zakah is the third pillar of Islam, therefore refusing to pay Zakah is a major sin. Hence, Allah said:
And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakat of which has not been
paid], and spend it not in the Way of Allah, -announce unto them a painful torment. (At-
Tawbah: 34)
On the Day when that (Al-Kanz: money, gold and silver, etc., the Zakat of which has not been paid)
will be heated in the Fire of Hell and with it will be branded their foreheads, their flanks, and their
backs, (and it will be said unto them) :-"This is the treasure which you hoarded for yourselves.
Now taste of what you used to hoard." (At-Tawbah: 35)
And let not those who covetously withhold of that which Allah has bestowed on them of His
Bounty (Wealth) think that it is good for them (and so they do not pay the obligatory Zakat). Nay, it
will be worse for them; the things which they covetously withheld shall be tied to their necks like a
collar on the Day of Resurrection. And to Allah belongs the heritage of the heavens and the earth;
and Allah is WellAcquainted with all that you do. (Aali Imran: 180)
The Tafsir for Ayah 3:180 is “that which is tied to their necks are snakes”, therefore their wealth will
become snakes wrapped around their necks.
We should know that to withhold Zakah is a major sin because Allah is promising a severe punishment in
the above Ayahs for anyone who withholds Zakah. The following Hadith explains further:
Abu Hurayrah said that the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Whoever Allah makes wealthy and he does
not pay the Zakah due on his wealth, then (on the Day of Resurrection) his wealth will be made in
the likeness of a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over the eyes. The
snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and proclaim, `I am your wealth, I am your
treasure.' The Prophet then recited the Ayah, ‘And let not those who are stingy with that which
Allah has bestowed on them of His bounty think that it is good for them. Nay, it will be worse for
them), until the end. (Al-Bukhari and Ibn Hibban)
Allah said there are three conditions to accept a revert as a real Muslim
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren
in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah: 11)
In the above Ayah, Allah laid down three conditions to accept a revert as a real Muslim.
1. Tawbah from kufr and shirk
2. To perform the salah, and
3. Give the zakah
Fasting during Ramadan is the fourth pillar of Islam. Therefore, anyone who is healthy and strong should
fast. If a healthy person refuses to fast he is considered a zindeeq [heretic] according to the correct
scholarly opinion. The fatwa below explains further:
Whoever does not fast has abandoned one of the pillars of Islam, and is committing a grave major
sin. Indeed some of the salaf were of the view that he is a kaafir [disbeliever] and apostate – we
seek refuge with Allaah from that.
Abu Ya’la narrated in his Musnad from Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The bonds of Islam and the bases of
religion are three, on which Islam was founded. Whoever gives up one of them becomes a kaafir
thereby and it is permissible to shed his blood: the testimony that there is no god but Allaah, the
prescribed prayers and fasting Ramadaan.”
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Dhahabi, and as hasan by al-Haythami in Majma’ al-
Zawaa’id, 1/48, and by al-Mundhiri in al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, no. 805, 1486. Classed as da’eef
by al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Da’eefah, no. 94.
Whoever does not fast in Ramadaan without being sick or having any other excuse that allows
him not to fast is more evil than the adulterer or drunkard, indeed they doubted his Islam and
thought that this was zandaqa [heresy].
Salah is the second pillar of Islam after reciting the shahada. It is not possible for a person to be a
Muslim if they abandon salah. The following hadiths explain further:
On the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Fast and you will be
healthy". [Related by Abu Naeem in 'al-Tibbun al-Nabawee' (1/236) No. 113]
Jabir (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Between a man (Muslim) and shirk and
disbelief lies neglect of salah.” [Sahih Muslim (1/8 No. 82, Sunan Tirmidhi (5/13) No. 2620, Sunan
Abu Dawud (4/219) No. 4678, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/181) No. 1078, Sunan An-Nasa'i (1/232) No. 463,
Musnad Ahmad (3/370) No. 15021]
Abdullah ibn Shaqiq Uqayli (RA) reported, saying “The companions of Muhummad (SAW) did not
regard neglect of any of the deeds as disbelief as they did (neglect) of Salah." [Sunan Tirmidhi
(5/14) No. 2622 and Mustadrak al-Haakim (1/4 No. 12 who said it met the conditions of al-Bukhari
and Muslim]
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your brethren
in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs,
revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah: 11)
Imam Shafi said that to abandon Salah does not eject a person outside the fold of Islam. However,
Ahmad Hanbal said “I beg to differ” so he debated Imam Shaffi on this and brought Surah Tawbah
Verse 11 as his hujjah during the debate. Ahmad ibn Hanbal won the debate.
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam. Hajj is a duty which mankind owes to Allah. Anyone who denies that Hajj is
compulsory on him has left the fold of Islam. The following Ayah explains further:
And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those
who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever
disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah
stands not in need of any of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). (Aali Imran: 97)
The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) only made hajj once in his lifetime and he was the best Muslim.
Ali (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “He who possess enough food for the trip, a
means of transportation to reach to Makkah, and yet does not perform Hajj, then he dies, he would
then die as a Jew or a Christian...” [Sunan Tirmidhi (3/176) No. 812, Bayhaqi in 'Shu'ab al-Iman'
(5/443) No. 3692, Musnad al-Bazzaar (3/87-8 No. 861]
Looking after our parents when they become old is a right which our parents have over us. To abandon
our parents without looking after them, is a grave sin in Islam. The only time we can abandon our parents
is if they declare war on Islam. About our parents, Allah said:
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your
parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of
disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour. And lower unto them the wing
of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as
they did bring me up when I was small." (Al-Isra: 23-24)
Today CNN reported that two children tried to kill their parents for insurance money. Car and life
insurance are haram. it's called money for nothing. People will kill you for life insurance. they do it
everyday to get the money.
911 call: Brothers drugged parents before trying to kill them: "I don't know why they've done this,
I really don't. I guess they want the insurance money. I'm not really
sure.": http://www.11alive.com/story/news/crime/2015/09/08/911-call-brothers-drugged-parents-

It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (RA) said: The Prophet (SAW) ascended the minbar and said:
“Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the minbar and said,
‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadan
comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive
and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not
send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.” [Sahih Ibn Hibban, (3/18? No. 907 and Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (3/192) No.
1888]
You cannot cut the ties with your parents, even if they are kaffir.
Narrated By Jubair bin Mut'im: That he heard the Prophet saying, "The person who severs the
bond of kinship will not enter Paradise." [al-Bukhari (5984) and Muslim (2556)]
Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of
kinship? Such are they whom Allāh has cursed, so that He has made them deaf and blinded their
sight. (Muhammad: 22-23)
However, if your kafir parents or family members are antagonistic towards Islam, then it is allowed to cut
ties with them because Abraham cut ties with his father when he realized that his father was an enemy of
Allah.
And the request of forgiveness of Abraham for his father was only because of a promise he had
made to him. But when it became apparent to Abraham that his father was an enemy to Allah, he
disassociated himself from him. Indeed was Abraham compassionate and patient. (At-Tawbah
9:114)
Sex before marriage is called fornication and to have an extramarital love affair is called adultery. Both
are considered major sins, but adultery is worst than fornication. Even though the Arabic word zina covers
fornication and adultery, the punishments are different because the punishment for fornication is 100
lashes while the punishment for adultery is stoning to death.
And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah [i.e. anything that
transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah forgives
him). (Al-Isra: 32)
Allah said in the ayah “DO NOT COME NEAR TO ZINA”. Allah did not say do not commit zina. This
means we should avoid the avenues that lead to zina. Khalwa [seclusion] is one of the avenues that leads
to zina. About this the Rasool (saw) said:
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "...Whenever a man is alone with a woman the
Devil makes a third..." [Musnad Ahmad (1/26) No. 177, Sunan Tirmidhi (4/465) No. 2165, Mustadrak
al-Haakim (1/197) No. 387, Sahih Ibn Hibban (12/399) No. 5586, Nasa'i in 'Sunan al-Kubra' (5/387)
No. 9219]
Allah Mentioned zina and murder in the Ayah below because whenever a society is filled with zina,
murder becomes rife in the society. This is because men kill those who seduce their wives and
daughters.
And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has
forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this
shall receive the punishment. (Al-Furqan: 68)
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "An adulterer, at the time he is committing illegal sexual
intercourse is not a believer". [al-Bukhari (557 and Muslim (57)]
What did the Prophet (SAW) mean by this Hadith? It means he is not a Mu’min during the act, but he is
still a MUSLIM. A Mu’min is on a higher level. There is a difference between a Mu’min and a Muslim. A
Muslim may have major weaknesses in his character like zina and khamr, but a Mu’min doesn’t have
these major weaknesses as a trait in his character.
“Verily the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam) men and women, the Mu’min (believers)
men and women…” (al-Ahzab: 35)
In this ayah, Allah mentions the Muslim and Mu’min together, indicating that there must be a difference
between the two. Whenever there is a comparison between Muslim and Mu’min in a single text, then the
Emaan of the Mu’min is higher in grades than the Muslim.
Allah created us with the natural instinct to be attracted to the opposite sex. Hence, for us to be attracted
to the same sex is an aberration. Homosexuals are enemies of the human race because their lifestyle
means the human race will grind to a halt since gays cannot procreate. About the, Allah said:
And (remember) Lout (Lot), when he said to his people: "Do you commit the worst sin such as
none preceding you has committed in the 'Alamīn (mankind and jinns)? "Verily, you practise your
lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds (by
committing great sins)." (Al-A'raf: 80-81)
The gay community tried to refute the above Ayah by claiming when they go to bed with their gay partner,
they don't practice lust, they practice love. They claim this Ayah is not about them.
We say to the gay community we present to you the translation of the Ayah by Sahih International which
is the correct translation of the Ayah. So how would you refute this Ayah below?
Indeed, you approach men with desire, instead of women. Rather, you are a transgressing
people.” (Al-A'raf:81)
It’s impossible for you to refute the above mentioned Ayah because for you to have an erection for
another man, you need to have a desire which is unholy.
The word "gay Muslim" is an oxymoron because Allah has made takfir on the gay in the Holy Quran.
Hence, Allah said:
So We brought out from therein the believers. But We found not there any household of the
Muslims except one [i.e. Lout (Lot) and his two daughters]. (Adh-Dhariyat 51:35-36)
Oxymoron = contradictory words that cannot come together because they clash
For example, a ‘Shia Masjid’, a ‘Qadiani Masjid’ or a ‘Gay Masjid’. Rather, one should use the term
‘temple’ to describe these places of worship. To say ‘Masjid’ is to insult your religion because a Masjid is
a place where Allah alone is worshipped. About this, Allah said:
And the Masaajid are for Allâh (Alone), so invoke not anyone along with Allâh. (Al-Jinn: 18)
Many Muslims use the phrase Islamic Democracy. This is another oxymoron that has become popular in
the Ummah of Muhammad (saw) to the extent where many Muslims are trying to abandon Jihad and use
the democratic process to attain power. These Muslims who believe in democracy got a kick in the teeth
in Algeria in 1988. Then they got a kick in the teeth again in 2013 in Egypt. Muhammad Morsi thought the
way forward was the ballot not the bullet, so he tried to use the democratic process to establish Islam in
Egypt. The Muslims got a kick in the teeth twice, yet the Prophet (saw) said:
"A believer is not bitten from the same hole twice.” [Related by al-Bukhari (6133) and Muslim (299]
Anas Ibn Malik narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "A believer is shrewd, sharp and
careful." [Quda'ee (d. 454 H) in 'Musnad al-Shihab' (Vol. 1 pg. 107) No. 128]
The great scholar of Islam, Imam Shawkani, wrote a chapter about punishing gays in his book Nayl al-
Awtar. Hence, he said:
There is a difference of opinion concerning the punishment for the one who commits sodomy. The
following are the opinions that were mentioned by Imam Ash-Shawkani in "Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol.
7/p122-124.
1) That he is killed with the sword, then burnt. This is narrated from Abu Bakr and 'Ali Ibn Abi
Talib.
2) That a wall should be collapsed upon him. This was the opinion of 'Umar and 'Uthman.
3) That he should be thrown from the highest building in the city, then that should be followed up
with him being pelted with rocks. This was the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas.
4) That he is stoned. This is narrated by Al-Bayhaqi from 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Ash-Sha'bi, Az-Zuhri,
Malik, Ahmad, Is'haq, and Ash-Shafi'i.
5) That they are burned. This was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, that Abu Bakr gathered the Sahabah
and 'Ali mentioned this, and the Sahabah agreed upon it. It was also mentioned by Al-Munthiri that
it was done by Abu Bakr, 'Ali, 'Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr, and Hisham Ibn 'Abdil-Malik.
6) That he is stoned, then burnt with fire. This is narrated from the Sahabah agreeing upon it in the
time of Abu Bakr.
7) That the punishment is the same as Zina, in that if he is a virgin, he is whipped, and if he is not,
then he is stoned.
That there is no prescribed punishment, rather it is left up to the Imam to perform Ta'zir, and this
was narrated from Abu Hanifah, and one narration from Ash-Shafi'i, and others.
Ash-Shawkani refutes the opinion of the punishment being the same as Zina, as well as the
opinion that there is only Ta'zir, and supports the opinion that he is killed, but does not appear to
specify which way of killing is the strongest. [Imam Ash-Shawkani in "Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol. 7/p122-
124].
The reason why the Caliphs burnt the bodies of the gays after killing them was because the families of
the gays will argue with you about burying the gay in Muslim graveyards. Abu Bakr and Ali were very wise
to burn their bodies.
Lying on Allah or His Rasool (saw) is not an ordinary lie because people who lie on Allah or His Rasool
(saw) use these lies to make up a false religion. Therefore, these lies are zandaqa and eject the liar
outside the fold of Islam. About lying on Allah, Allah said:
And who does more wrong than the one who invents a lie against Allāh, while he is being invited
to Islām? And Allāh guides not the people who are Zālimûn (polytheists, wrong-doers and
disbelievers) folk. (As-Saff: 7)
Speaking about Allah without any knowledge is also lying on Allah. Speaking about Allah without any
knowledge is also zandaqa. Hence, Allah said:
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "(But) the things that my Lord has indeed forbidden are AlFawāhish
(great evil sins, every kind of unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or
secretly, sins (of all kinds), unrighteous oppression, joining partners (in worship) with Allāh for
which He has given no authority, and saying things about Allāh of which you have no knowledge."
(Al-A'raf: 33)
The following Hadith is about lying on the Prophet (saw). The seat that the liar will occupy in the Hell-fire
is a permanent seat because the one who lies on the Prophet (saw) deliberately is a kaafir:
Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, Convey from me (to the
absent) even one verse. And narrate from the Banu Isra’il there is no harm in that. If anyone lies
about me deliberately then let him take his seat in Hell.” [Tirmidhi 2678, Ahmed 6496, Bukhari
3461]
Abu Hurayra (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "Anyone who carries arms
against us is not one of us. Anyone who cheats us is not one of us." [Sahih Muslim, Book 1,
Hadith #182]
Even though a leader has weaknesses, you are not allowed to topple him only if you see clear kufr.
Justice is important for the continuity and success of every society politically, economically and
socially. In regards to justice, Allah said:
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allāh, even though it be against
yourselves, or your parents, or your kin, be he rich or poor, Allāh is a Better Protector to both
(than you). So follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest you may avoid justice, and if you distort
your witness or refuse to give it, verily, Allāh is Ever WellAcquainted with what you do. (An-Nisa:
135)
When you refuse to give testimony or distort the testimony, you can be charged with conspiracy to pervert
the course of justice. When you distort your testimony, it causes the wrong person to be punished for a
crime he did not commit. This is the ultimate injustice.
Sheikh Ibn Taymiyyah said, “Allah supports the just state even if it is unbelieving, but He does not
support the unjust state even if it believes.” [Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmu' Al-Fatawa 28/63]
Luqman was grooming his son to be a dai’e [caller to Islam], and he warned his son against pride and
arrogance because this attitude will turn the people away from him and cause his dawah to fail. Hence,
Luqman said to his son:
"And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily,
Allāh likes not each arrogant boaster. (Luqman 31:1
The Holy Prophet (saw) warned his Ummah about pride in the following Hadith:
It Is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Apostle of Allah (SAW), observed: He
who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise. A person
(amongst his hearers) said: Verily a person loves that his dress should be fine, and his shoes
should be fine. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace. Pride
is disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for the people. [Sahih Muslim (1/93) No.
91]
Infidels like Nimrod, the Pharaoh, Abu Lahab and Abu Jahl realized Islam was the truth, but they chose to
reject Islam and died as kuffar all in the name of pride. These kuffar are now condemned to the Hell-fire
to abide forever because of their rejection of Islam. These four infidels had the privilege to meet the most
noble Prophets of Allah like Abraham, Moses and Muhammad (saw). In spite of being blessed to meet
these noble Prophets and heard the message of Islam from their Holy lips, they chose to reject Islam and
die as kuffar all in the name of Pride. The Pharaoh acknowledged in his heart that Musa brought the truth,
but he rejected the message in the name of pride. About the Pharaoh, Allah said:
And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and
haughtiness. So see how was the end of the corrupters. (An-Naml 27:14)
Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: Once Allah's Messenger went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer)
on 'Eid-al-Adha or al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms,
as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women)." They asked, "Why
is it so, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your
husbands." [Sahih Bukhari (1/6 No. 304]
The Rasool (SAW) saw women as the majority of the inhabitants of hell because they were ungrateful to
their husbands.
The Arabic word khamr means intoxicants. An intoxicant is anything that befogs the mind. Therefore,
intoxicants can be solid liquid or gas. To consume intoxicant is a major sin because the person who takes
intoxicants receives 80 lashes. Examples of intoxicants include cannabis, marijuana, alcohol, ecstasy,
speed, cocaine, heroin, etc. The hypocrites want to drink alcohol so they claim “as long as I am not drunk
at the time of salah I am allowed to drink”. But Allah told us to abstain from alcohol in the following Ayah:
O you who believe! Intoxicants (all kinds of alcoholic drinks), gambling, AlAnsāb, and AlAzlām
(arrows for seeking luck or decision) are an abomination of Shaitān's (Satan) handiwork. So avoid
(strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaitān (Satan) wants only to
excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and
hinder you from the remembrance of Allāh and from As-Salāt (the prayer). So, will you not then
abstain? (Al-Ma'idah 5:90-91)
In the following Hadith the Holy Prophet (saw) told us that whenever a person drinks alcohol he has not
Salah for 40 days.
‘Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “If anyone drinks wine then
his salah over forty days are not approved. If he repents then Allah will relent to him. If he reverts
(to it), then Allah will not approve his salah over forty days. If he repents, Allah will relent to him
but if he reverts (to it) then Allah will not approve his salah over forty days. If he repents then
Allah will relent to him. Again, if he reverts the fourth time, Allah will not approve his salah over
forty days and if he repents then Allah will not relent to him and He will give him to drink from the
river of Khabal.” Someone asked, “O Abu Abdur Rahman! what is the river of Khabal?’ He said,
“The pus of the dwellers of the people of fire.” [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/290) No. 1862, Sunan Nasa'i
(8/317) No. 5670, Musnad Ahmad (2/35) No. 4917, al-Mu’jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (12/390) No.
13441]
Q: aswr, you mentioned that someone who does not make hajj without a valid reason will die as a
jew or christian does this mean they will die as kaffir and be in the hellfire forever?
The person who dies as a Jew or a Christian would have to deny Hajj to be kaafir. The following Ayah
explains further:
And Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah) to the House (Ka'bah) is a duty that mankind owes to Allah, those
who can afford the expenses (for one's conveyance, provision and residence); and whoever
disbelieves [i.e. denies Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), then he is a disbeliever of Allah], then Allah
stands not in need of any of the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns). (Aali Imran 3:97)
Q: asalam alekum shaikh i saw a video where a kafir couple was doing a dna test to find out if the
child was theirs or not, when they got the result that he was not the father they were celebrating,
so what is the punishment for adultery in the hereafter and the punishment in this life for it?
Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds
and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft-
Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)
If you are punished for adultery in the dunya, Allah wont ask you about it in the hereafter
If you did not, Allah will give you a double punishment in the hereafter
And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has
forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this
shall receive the punishment. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and
he will abide therein in disgrace; (Al-Furqan 25:68-69)
Q: is it cutting ties of kinship if your family are far away like if your in the west and your family is
in yemen and you can get hold with them?
Cutting the ties of kinship means when you refuse to interact with your family
Living in another country is not cutting ties. Even though Abu Talib was a kaafir, the Prophet (SAW) loved
him and didn’t cut ties with him. The Prophet (saw) even told Ali to bury his kaafir father, Abu Talib, when
he died. But the Prophet (SAW) did not attend the janaza. About the Prophet (saw) loving Abu Talib, Allah
said:
Verily! You (O Muhammad SAW) guide not whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills. And
He knows best those who are the guided. (Al-Qasas: 56)
You cannot cut the ties of kinship unless your relatives are antagonistic towards Islam.
It is worthy of mentioning that when a man killed himself, the Prophet (SAW) told the Muslims to bury him
but the Prophet (SAW) did not attend the janaza. He (SAW) allowed the Muslims to pray over him, but he
himself did not attend. When a man kills himself, he is still a Muslim - he is a bad Muslim
Q: my question is, i am looking for a wife and i want to know if a a person who doesn’t believe
in twheed hakimiyya be married
Tawheed hakimiyyah means Allah is the only Law-giver. When Prophet Yusuf was in prison he taught the
inmates four branches of tawheed. See Surah 12:39-40 for the Hujjah.
O [my] two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing?
(Yusuf 12:39)You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and
your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has
commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people
do not know. (Yusuf 12:39-40)
To deny tawheed hakimiyyah is major kufr because to deny tawheed hakimiyyah is to deny that Allah is
the only Law-giver. In this regard, Allah said:
Those who deny tawheed hakimiyyah also claim that to dismantle the Shariah is a minor kufr. This
ideology is zandaqa [heresy] because when the Jews tampered with the Shariah, Allah turned them into
apes and swine. These people who claim to dismantle the Shariah is a minor kufr are trying to insinuate
that when Allah turned the Jews into apes and swine He, Allah, was overreacting. About the Jews
tampering with the Shariah, Allah said:
Say (O Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture) : "Shall I inform you of something worse
than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and
His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who
worshipped Taghut (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the
Hellfire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)." (Al-Ma'idah: 60)
It is worthy of mentioning that those who deny tawheed hakimiyyah are wicked scholars who are
cementing the thrones of the apostate leaders for worldly gains. They have sold their religion for a
miserable price.
The Domain of Apostasy
THE DOMAIN OF APOSTASY
by Shaikh Abdullah Faisal
DOWNLOAD: https://archive.org/details/THEDOMAINOFAPOSTASY
Bismillah...
i. Darul-Kufr
- Darul-kufr is the land of the original kaafirs; they are not plotting against the Muslims
- for example: Abyssinia was a Christian country, in the time of the prophet (SAW)
- Abyssinia was not plotting to bring harm to the Muslims; verbally or physically
ii. Darul-Harb
- Darul-harb is a kaafir land that harms Muslims
- they plot to bring harm to Muslims either verbally or physically
- they lock up innocent Muslims at home and abroad
- they kill innocent Muslims abroad
iii. Darul-Islam
- Darul-Islam is the land where the Islamic Shariah is fully implemented
- for example, the territory of Iraq and Syria where the Islamic State governs
There is a dar, which you forget about and our topic tonight is about
- this dar is called Dar ar-Ridda
Whenever you are in a society and the majority of the people practice kufr,
shirk and zandaqa
- and authentic tauheed (Islamic monotheism) is not taught
- therefore it is rare and scarce
- that society is classified as the domain of apostasy - Dar ar-Ridda
In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them
is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie. (Al-Baqarah
2:10)
- e.g. if you wake up one morning and you doubt Muhammad (SAW) is a real prophet,
- you have now become an apostate from Islam
- or if you doubt Judgment Day is real, you become an apostate
- your wife becomes haram for you
- and you cannot be buried in the graveyard with the Muslims
And if you ask them, they will surely say, "We were only conversing and
playing." Say, "Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were
mocking?" Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We
pardon one faction of you - We will punish another faction because they were
criminals. (At-Tawbah 9:65-66)
- you cannot crack jokes about the hijab or the beard or the jilbab
- this makes you an apostate
iii. APOSTASY BY THE LIMBS
And it has already come down to you in the Book that when you hear the
verses of Allah [recited], they are denied [by them] and ridiculed; so do not
sit with them until they enter into another conversation. Indeed, you would
then be like them. Indeed Allah will gather the hypocrites and disbelievers in
Hell all together - (An-Nisa 4:140)
- just for you to be at a gathering and people are making mockery of Islam,
- you become one of them
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies.
They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them
among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the
wrongdoing people. (Al-Ma’idah 5:51)
Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said, "On the Day of
Resurrection a group of companions will come to me, but will be driven away
from the Lake-Fount, and I will say, 'O Lord (those are) my companions!' It
will be said, 'You have no knowledge as to what they innovated after you
left; they turned apostate as renegades (reverted from Islam)." [Sahih
Bukhari (8/120) No. 6585]
Allah and His rasool said you should kill the apostates; in the Islamic State
- you cannot kill apostates in Europe and America
- people go to Europe and America to apostate from Islam
- 4:89 is an example to prove that we kill apostates
They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so you would be alike. So
do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of
Allah. But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find
them and take not from among them any ally or helper. (An-Nisa 4:89)
On the authority of Ibn Abbas (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
said: "If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him." [Sahih Bukhari
(4/61) No. 3017, Musnad Ahmad (1/322) No. 2968, Sunan al-Nasa'i (7/104)
No. 4059, Sunan Ibn Majah (3/574) No. 2535, Sunan Abu Dawud (4/126)
No. 4351, Sunan Tirmidhi (4/59) No. 1458]
The above is the evidence used to prove that you kill the apostates in hadith
- whether you are a revert or a born Muslim; you have to die as Muslim
Ibn Qudamah (rh) said: "All the scholars of Islam are agreed that the
apostate is to be killed." [al-Mughni (9/3)]
Abu Bakr as-Siddiq fought against apostates, he did not take jizya from them
- either you come back to Islam or die
- there is no third option
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: When the Messenger of Allah (SAW) passed
away, Abu Bakr (RA) was appointed as his successor (caliph). Amongst the
Arabs some men apostatised. Abu Bakr (RA) resolved to fight them. 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab (RA) said to Abu Bakr: "How can you fight them when the
Messenger of Allah (SAW) has declared: 'I have been commanded to fight
people till they testify La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah); and
if they do it, their blood (life) and property are secured except when justified
by law, and it is for Allah to call them to account." Upon this Abu Bakr (RA)
said: "By Allah, I would definitely fight him who makes distinction between
Salat and the Zakat, because it is an obligation upon the rich to pay Zakat. By
Allah I will fight them even to secure the piece of rope which they used to
give to the Messenger of Allah (SAW)." 'Umar (RA) said: "I realized that Allah
opened the heart of Abu Bakr (RA) for fighting those who refused to pay
Zakat, and I fully recognized that Abu Bakr was on the truth." [al-Bukhari
(1399, 1400) and Muslim (20)]
SHIA HUJJAH: Imams are God (Jila-ul-Ayoun, Vol. No. 2, Page No. 85)
SHIA HUJJAH: “Allah often lies and does mistakes” [Usool-al-Kafi, page 328,
Yacoob Kulayni, Vol. 1]
And most of them believe not in Allah except while they associate others
with Him. (Yusuf 12:106)
- Ibn Taymiyyah said that the bataniyah are worse than the Tatars
al-Qurtubi (rh) said: “And it was said that if believer resides between
disbelievers, if he has a fear about his life, he can manage them by his
tongue, while his soul would be full with belief. And taqqiyah is not
permitted except if there is fear of being killed, or fear that a limb could be
cut, or (any other) great punishment. And if someone is forced to make kufr,
the authentic view that he can persist and refuse to say words of kufr.”
[Tafseer al-Qurtubi (4/57)]
The wicked scholars like Tariq Ramadan taught people that democracy and
Islam are compatible
- rejecting democracy and its believers is part of the kalimah
- the average Muslim living in darul-harb/kufr is jahil
Imaam Ibn Hazm quoted a report with an isnad going back to Hishaam ibn
‘Ammaar, who said: "I heard Maalik ibn Anas say: ‘Whoever curses Abu Bakr
should be whipped, and whoever curses ‘Aa’ishah should be killed.’ He was
asked, ‘Why do you say that concerning (the one who curses) ‘Aa’ishah?’ He
said, ‘Because Allaah says concerning ‘Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased with
her (interpretation of the meaning): "Allaah forbids you from it [slander] and
warns you not to repeat the like of it forever, if you are believers." [al-Noor
24:17]’" Maalik said: "Whoever accuses her goes against the Qur’aan, and
whoever goes against the Qur’aan should be killed." Ibn Hazm said: "This
comment of Maalik’s is correct, and it is complete apostasy to reject Allaah’s
words that clearly state her innocence." [al-Muhalla (12/440)]
Imam al-Nawawi (rh), said: "'Aishah's innocence of that of which she was
accused is stated definitively in the Qur'an. If anyone doubts that, he
becomes a kaafir and an apostate, by the consensus of the Muslims." [Sharh
Sahih Muslim (17/117)]
- ibn Qudamah said: if a person apostates, you give him 3 days to come back to Islam
Ibn Qudaamah said: “The apostate should not be put to death until he has
been asked to repent three times. This is the view of the majority of scholars,
including ‘Umar, ‘Ali, ‘Ata’, al-Nakhaii, Maalik, al-Thawri, al-Awzaa’i, Ishaaq
and others. Because apostasy comes about because of doubt, and cannot be
dispelled in an instant. Time should be allowed for the person to rethink the
matter, and the best length of time is three days.” [al-Mughni (9/8) No.
7086]
- ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi (rh) was a scholar in time of Salah ud-Deen al-Ayyubi
- and a scholar of ahlus sunnah wal-jammah
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (rh) said: “Apostasy is of two types: ordinary
apostasy and extreme apostasy, for which execution is prescribed. In both
cases there is evidence that it is essential to execute the apostate, but the
evidence indicating that the sentence of death may be waived if the person
repents does not apply to both types of apostasy. Rather the evidence
indicates that that is allowed only in the first case – i.e., ordinary apostasy –
as will be clear to anyone who studies the evidence that speaks about
accepting the repentance of the apostate. In the second type – i.e., extreme
apostasy – the obligation to put the apostate to death still stands, and there
is no text or scholarly consensus to indicate that the death sentence may be
waived. The two cases are quite different and there is no comparison
between them. It does not say in the Qur’aan or Sunnah, or according to
scholarly consensus, that everyone who apostatizes in word or deed may be
spared the death sentence if he repents after he is a captured and tried.
Rather the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and scholarly consensus, differentiate
between the different kinds of apostates.” [al-Saarim al-Maslool, (pg. 366-
367)]
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger
and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or
crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that
they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for
them in the Hereafter is a great punishment, (Al-Ma’idah 5:33)
Al-Qaadi ‘Iyaad said: "The Maaliki fuqaha’ of Baghdad at the time of al-
Muqtadir were unanimously agreed that al-Hallaaj should be killed and
crucified because of his claim to divinity and his belief in incarnation, and his
saying “I am al-Haqq [God],” even though he outwardly appeared to adhere
to sharee’ah, and they did not accept his repentance." [al-Shifa bi Ta’reef
Huqooq al-Mustafa, (2/632)]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (rh) said: "Muhaarabah (waging war against
Islam) is of two types: physical and verbal. Waging war verbally against
Islam may be worse than waging war physically – as stated above – hence
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to kill those
who waged war against Islam verbally, whilst letting off some of those who
waged war against Islam physically. This ruling is to be applied more strictly
after the death of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).
Mischief may be caused by physical action or by words, but the damage
caused by words is many times greater than that caused by physical action;
and the goodness achieved by words in reforming may be many times
greater than that achieved by physical action. It is proven that waging war
against Allaah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) verbally is worse and the efforts on earth to undermine religion by
verbal means is more effective." [al-Saarim al-Maslool, (pg. 385)]
- that is why those who waged war on Islam with words and media
- were dealt with differently even on conquest of Makkah
- a word can carry a million times over, in the event its in the form of a book
- like the book by Salman Rushdie
Taariq bin Shihab reports that when Umar (RA) was travelling to Shaam, Abu
Ubaydah bin Jarraah (RA) was accompanying him. "O, Abu Ubaydah! Had
anyone other than you made such a statement, I would have made him a
lesson for the Ummah of Muhammad (SAW). We were once amongst the
lowest of people, but Allaah gave us honour because of Islaam. As soon as
we start to seek honour in avenues other than that in which Allaah has
granted us honour, Allaah will then humiliate us." [Mustadrak al-Hakim
(1/130) No. 207]
- izzah belongs to Allah, the prophet and the Muslims, but the hypocrites realise it not
…And to Allah belongs [all] honor, and to His Messenger, and to the
believers, but the hypocrites do not know. (Al-Munafiqun 63:8)
- Saddam was found in a rat hole, Gaddafi was killed and also found in a rat hole
- and soon Bashar al-Assad will follow
- they will be disgraced because they tried to find izzah in other than Islam
The Importance of Hijrah
THE IMPORTANCE OF HIJRAH
by Shaikh Abdullah Faisal
9th July 2014 / 12th Ramadan 1435 (Evening)
Download: https://archive.org/details/TheImportanceOfHijrah
Bismillah...
Definition of Hijrah:
- the arabic word 'hijrah' is taken from the root word hajara
- which means to abandon
- whenever a Muslim uses the word hijrah
- it means to migrate from the land of the kuffaar to live in the land of the Muslims
Ibn 'Arabi (rh) said, "Hijrah is to leave DarulǦǦHarb for DarulǦǦIslam" [Ahkamul-
Quran (1/611)]
Ibn Qudamah (rh) said: "It is to leave Darul-Kufr for DarulǦIslam." [al-
Mughni (9/293)]
But those who have believed and emigrated and fought in the cause of Allah
and those who gave shelter and aided - it is they who are the believers, truly.
For them is forgiveness and noble provision. (Al-Anfal 8:74)
- Allah said your hijrah in itself is a proof that you are a real Muslim not a fake Muslim.
Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said, The migration of a person from a
land of disbelief and profanity to one of faith and probity is an expression of
repentance and of his turning away from disobedience and perversion to
belief and obedience. This is so until the Day of Resurrection.” [Majmu’al-
Fatawa, (18/284)]
It was narrated by Mu'awiya that he heard the Prophet (SAW) said: “Hijrah
will not be terminate until Tawbah is terminated, and Tawbah will not be
terminated until sun rises from the west” [al-Tareekh al-Kabeer al-Bukhari
(9/80) No. 770, Abu Dawud (3/3) No. 2479, Sunan al-Darime (2/312) No.
2513, Musnad Ahmad (4/99) No. 16952, al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Nasa'i (8/67)
No. 8658]
It was narrated from Ibn as-Sa'di that the Prophet (SAW) said: "Hijrah
(migration) will never cease so long as there is an enemy to be fought"
Mu'awiyah, 'Abdur Rahman bin 'Awf and 'Abdullah bin 'Amr ibn al-'As said:
The Prophet (SAW) said: "Hijrah is of two types: one is forsaking bad deeds
and the other is migrating for the sake of Allah and His Messenger. Hijrah
will never cease so long as repentance can be accepted, for repentance will
never cease to be accepted until the sun rises from its place of setting; when
it rises thus, a seal will be placed on every heart with what is in it, and
people will no longer have to strive." [Musnad Ahmad (1/192) No. 1671;
Shu'aib Arna'oot commented the isnad is hasan, alǦǦHaythamī said that its
men are Thiqat (trustworthy) in 'Majma al-Zawaid' (5/250-251) No. 9280]
Junadah narrated the Prophet (SAW) said: "Hijrah will not be cut off as long
as there is Jihad." [al-Jami' al-Saghir al-Suyuti (No. 3754); al-Albanī declared
it sahih in ‘Sahih alǦJami’ (1991) and ‘asǦSilsilah asǦSahihah’ (1674)]
On the authority of Jarir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
sent a military expedition to Khath'am. So some people (living there) sought
safety by prostrating, but they were met quickly and killed. News of this
reached the Prophet (SAW) upon which he commanded that they be given
half of the 'Aql (blood money). And he said: "I am free from every Muslim
that lives among the idolaters." They said: "O Messenger of Allah: How is
that?" He said: "They should not see each other's campfires." [Sunan
Tirmidhi (4/155) No. 1604 and Sunan Abu Dawud (3/45) No. 2645]
It was narrated from Samurah that the Prophet (SAW) said: “Do not live
among the mushrikeen and do not mix with them, for whoever lives among
them or mixes with them is not one of us.” [al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi
(9/240) No. 18420 and Mustadrak al-Haakim (2/154) No. 2627. adh-Dhahabi
graded this on the conditions of Bukhari and Muslim]
On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr who said: “Anyone who lived in the
land of the infidels and celebrated their religious festivals and imitated them
till he died in that state, will be raised among them on the Day of Judgment.”
[al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (9/392) No. 18864]
3. DARUL-ISLAM ()دار اﻹﺳﻼم
- the abode of Islam is the land in which Shariah is implemented
- the lives, property, honour and the deen of the Muslims are protected and
safeguarded
[And they are] those who, if We give them authority in the land, establish
prayer and give zakah and enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And
to Allah belongs the outcome of [all] matters. (Al-Hajj 22:41)
Every Muslim should try to the best of his ability to live in Darul Islam
- before they die and not die in Darul Kufr or Darul Harb
- when the Prophet established the Islamic State in Madina,
- the Muslims in Ethiopia migrated to Madina
- even though the king gave them a warm welcome
- this proves that it should be the ambition of every Muslim
- to live in Darul-Islam before they die
- not in Darul-Harb or Darul-Kufr
These so called Muslims have become infidels and apostates by the ijma of
the ulamah
- the ulamah quoted Surah Maidah verse 51 as their hujjah
O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies.
They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them
among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the
wrongdoing people. (Al-Ma’idah 5:51)
Sheikh Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab, may Allah have mercy on him, gathered
ten actions that negate one's Islam (Nawaqid ul-'Ashr), the eighth one of
which states: "Assisting the disbelievers (against the believers)
(Mudhaharatul Mushrikeen) and supporting them against the believers (is
from the actions that negates of one's faith). The Proof being the statement
of Allah, "And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then surely he is one
of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun
(polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). (The Quran 5:51)."
- this person who lives in Darul-Harb and prefers to live amongst the kuffaar
- and he supports them against the ummah is a kaafir by the ijma of the ulamaa
Ibn Hazm (rh) states that: “Whoever joins the ‘land of war’ and disbelief, of
his own free will and in defiance of whoever amongst the Muslims calls him
to his side, is by virtue of this act an apostate, by all the laws of apostasy, in
Islam. Whoever is able to kill him must do so. His property is unprotected, his
marriage null and void, all his rights are swept away. [Ibn Hazm, al-Muhalla’:
(13/139-140)]
Ibn Hazm is talking about Darul-Harb not Darul-Kufr because he said the
land of war
- you cannot live in Darul-Harb
- they use their cartoons to insult the Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
- by insulting the Prophet the place becomes Darul-Harb
Let not believers take disbelievers as allies rather than believers. And
whoever [of you] does that has nothing with Allah, except when taking
precaution against them in prudence. And Allah warns you of Himself, and to
Allah is the [final] destination. (Aali Imran 3:28)
The scholars quoted this ayah (3:28) to back up what Ibn Hazm said
- the reason why Ibn Hazm took this stance is because by you living among the kuffar
in Darul-Harb,
- you are swelling the ranks of the enemy
- you are going to work and pay tax to them
- your money is going to be used to kill Muslims
As a sincere believer you are supposed to strive towards swelling the ranks
of the Muslims
- it's all about swelling the ranks; which rank do you want to swell?
- the ranks of the believers or the ranks of the enemy?
- that's why Ibn Hazm passed this fatwa
At-Tabari remarks that such a person would have washed his hands of Allah,
and that Allah would have nothing to do with a person who actively rejects
Him and denies His Religion [Tafseer at-Tabari (6/313)]
- Imam Tabari said this person who swells the ranks of the enemy
- and refuses to live in the dawlah washes his hands of Allah
When Abraham found out that his people were enemies of Islam,
- he said that he will make hijrah
- like we see in the above-mentioned ayah
Ibn Kathir (rh) said: “Allāh says to His believing slaves Ǧ whom He has
ordered to be harsh against the disbelievers and to have enmity towards
them, and to avoid them, and to disassociate themselves from them – that
there was a great example for you in Ibrāhīm and those with him – his
followers who believed with him – when they said to their people: {“...We
are free from you...”} meaning: we have disassociated ourselves from you
and what you worship besides Allāh; {“...and we have disbelieved in you...”}
meaning: in your religion and your ways; {“...and there has emerged
between us and you enmity and hatred forever...”} meaning: enmity and
hatred has been legislated from now between us, and as long as you remain
upon your disbelief, then we will disassociate ourselves from you and hate
you until you believe in Allāh, alone – single Him out to worship Him, without
any partners, and to abandon what you worship along with Him of idols and
gods.” [Tafsir Ibn Kathir (8/87)]

Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab (rh), mentioned that in the case of a Muslim
whose people remained bound to disbelief and followed the enemies of
Islam, he too would become a disbeliever if he refused to abandon his
people, just because he found it difficult. He would end up fighting against
the Muslims alongside his nation, with his money and life. And if they were to
order him to marry his father's wife, but could not prevent that unless he
migrates from his country, he would be forced to marry her. His alliance and
participation with them in their campaign against Islam and their struggle
against Allah and His Messenger is far worse than marrying his father's wife.
He is also a disbeliever, about whom Allah has said: “You will find others who
hope for your protection, and for that of their own people. But whenever
they are sent to temptation, they yield thereto. If they do not withdraw from
you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill
them wherever you may find them. In their case, We have given you a clear
warrant against them. (An-Nisa 4:91).”
This is why the first thing Abraham did when he came out of the fire was to
make hijrah
- he left Iraq and went to Egypt with his wife Sarah
- Moses also made hijrah
- when Moses was in Egypt and he found out that the people were oppressive and evil,
- he made hijrah.
- he was told by a good Samaritan he needs to leave Egypt
- because the people are going to oppress him or kill him
And a man came from the farthest end of the city, running. He said, "O
Moses, indeed the eminent ones are conferring over you [intending] to kill
you, so leave [the city]; indeed, I am to you of the sincere advisors." (Al-
Qasas 28:20) So he left it, fearful and anticipating [apprehension]. He said,
"My Lord, save me from the wrongdoing people." (Al-Qasas 28:21)
-If you are living amongst oppressive people, you need to make hijrah
-Don't wait till they lock you up in prison forever
-Like what they did to Abu Hamza and Babar Ahmad
The jury said the four racist cops who beat up Babar Ahmad are not guilty
- the people in the UK read the Sun Newspaper
- this is why they are the most racist people in the world
- The Sun is racism and porn
- The Sun newspaper is their bible
- a person from the UK, all he has in his heart is racism and porn
- because this is all their bible contains
2. MUSLIMS WHO LIVE AMONG THE KUFFAAR FOR THE SAKE OF MONEY
- because he's a business man
- or to obtain an education
- or to give dawah
- or for treatment in their hospitals
On the authority of Jarir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
sent a military expedition to Khath'am. So some people (living there) sought
safety by prostrating, but they were met quickly and killed. News of this
reached the Prophet (SAW) upon which he commanded that they be given
half of the 'Aql (blood money). And he said: "I am free from every Muslim
that lives among the idolaters." They said: "O Messenger of Allah: How is
that?" He said: "They should not see each other's campfires." [Sunan
Tirmidhi (4/155) No. 1604 and Sunan Abu Dawud (3/45) No. 2645]
Indeed, those who have believed and emigrated and fought with their wealth
and lives in the cause of Allah and those who gave shelter and aided - they
are allies of one another. But those who believed and did not emigrate - for
you there is no guardianship of them until they emigrate. And if they seek
help of you for the religion, then you must help, except against a people
between yourselves and whom is a treaty. And Allah is Seeing of what you
do. (Al-Anfal 8:72)
- it's worthy of mentioning that these people who choose to live in Darul-kufr
- have no share in the booty.
When the mujahideen took over Mosul and the Muslims got booty,
- you who are living outside of Darul-Islam have no share in the booty
- according to shariah law.
Ibn Kathir (rh) said: Therefore, the believers who did not emigrate but who
remained in their homes had no share in the war booty, nor in its fifth part,
except in the battles in which they took part. [Tafsir Ibn Kathir(4/96)]
These Muslims, before the khilafah was established, they were told to make
hijrah
- their reply was: ‘that the whole world is darul-harb, there's no place to make hijrah to’
- when the khilafah was established and they were called to darul-Islam,
- they come with a new excuse
- they say: ‘tell us a list of famous scholars who gave bay'ah to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi?’
- they always come with a new excuse
- Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi himself is a scholar you fool, he has a PhD in Islam
- they say: ‘Yusuf Qardawi did not accept the dawlah’
- Shut up you hypocrite, Yusuf Qardawi is a kaafir
- You and Yusuf Qardawi can go to hell
- Many people made takfir on him
- Yusuf Qardawi believes in democracy
- why are you hiding behind a wicked scholar?
Refuting Qaradhawi: "If Allah was a candidate He would not have been able
to take this amount":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6jKlgiOpPM
- why did not you quote Dr. al-Jazouli? He's not a wicked scholar
- why do they quote wicked scholars? because they themselves are wicked
Allah spoke about this third category who live amongst the kuffaar,
- who are being oppressed by the kuffaar,
- who live off job seekers allowance and food stamps in Surah Nisa verse 97
Indeed, those whom the angels take [in death] while wronging themselves -
[the angels] will say, "In what [condition] were you?" They will say, "We
were oppressed in the land." The angels will say, "Was not the earth of Allah
spacious [enough] for you to emigrate therein?" For those, their refuge is
Hell - and evil it is as a destination. (An-Nisa 4:97)
And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many
[alternative] locations and abundance. And whoever leaves his home as an
emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him - his
reward has already become incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is ever
Forgiving and Merciful. (An-Nisa 4:100)
When the Islamic State sells the oil, they don't keep the money for
themselves;
- they use it to look after the people
- why do you want to stay to let your children become prostitutes?
- they don't believe in the promise of Allah
- they think Allah is making a fake promise to them
- thousands of Muslim women fornicate with kaafir men in the west
- they end up with herpes
And those who emigrated for [the cause of] Allah after they had been
wronged - We will surely settle them in this world in a good place; but the
reward of the Hereafter is greater, if only they could know. (An-Nahl
16:41) [They are] those who endured patiently and upon their Lord relied.
(An-Nahl 16:42)
Those who don't want to go and live in the dawlah; don't believe in Allah's promise.
Abu Hurairah narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Three groups of
people Allah obliged Himself to help them: Mujahid in the cause of Allah, a
worker to pay his debt, and the one who wants to marry to live a chaste life."
[Sunan at-Tirmidhi (4/184) No. 1655, Sunan al-Nasa'i (6/15) No. 3120,
Sunan Ibn Majah (3/561) No. 2518, Musnad Ahmad (2/437) No. 9629]
The last time: The person who can leave but refuses to leave. Nisa 97 was quoted,
Allah was talking about people who have weak eemaan. They don't want to leave, they
are on food stamps and they think they are going to starve.
These people live of welfare, even though the kaafirs treat them badly they still stay
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging
themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration
was obligatory for them), they (angels) say (to them): "In what (condition)
were you?" They reply: "We were weak and oppressed on earth." They
(angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allāh spacious enough for you to
emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil
destination! (An-Nisa 4:97)
Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the
wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and
the dwellings in which you delight … are dearer to you than Allāh and His
Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause[], then wait until
Allāh brings about His Decision (torment). And Allāh guides not the people
who are Al-Fāsiqûn (the rebellious, disobedient to Allāh). (At-Tawbah 9:24)
"Three groups of people Allah obliged Himself to help them: Mujahid in the
cause of Allah, a worker to pay his debt, and the one who wants to marry to
live a chaste life." (Tirmidhi 1661, Nisai 3120, Ibn e Majah 2518, Ahmed
9637)
Allah makes it fardh upon Himself to feed these three people, as indicated in the above
hujjah. Put your trust in Allah, and make hijrah.
Before you go to Jumuah, you read surah 18 - the cave. What is the theme of the cave?
The theme and moral is, here you have three men who have abandoned their homes to
go and live in a cave. They didn't ask about food or healthcare.
We don't know if there were 6 or 7 people - only Allah knows. Saying there were 7 is
just an expression
The moral of the story is these people left their homes and did not worry about poverty.
You worry about your belly and private parts too much.
From Baihaqi: He who recites Suratul Kahf on yaumul Jumuah (Friday), Allah
will shine a light for him between the two Fridays. [sahih]
The moral of the story is these young men made hijrah and did not ask what will they
eat - they put their trust in Allah.
The people who ask about what we are going to eat - these are the hypocrites. All they
live for is their bellies.
He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allāh, will find on earth
many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home
as an emigrant unto Allāh and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his
reward is then surely incumbent upon Allāh. And Allāh is Ever OftForgiving,
Most Merciful. (An-Nisa 4:100)
Status of those who live among the kuffaar and fear poverty:
They are fasiqoon (doers of evil) they will go to the hell-fire, but will not live there
forever. These people have weak eeman.
We do not make takfir on them, because the Prophet (saws) did not make takfir on the
sahabahs, who did not migrate
The sahabahs did not migrate because their wives told them not to, they migrated
later.
Their knowledge of Islam was weak because they migrated later. They wanted to beat
up their wives, because their wives stopped them from migrating.
O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are
enemies for you (i.e. may stop you from the obedience of Allāh), therefore
beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their
faults), then verily, Allāh is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (At-Taghabun
64:14)
Then Allah revealed the above ayah when they wanted to beat up their wives. Allah
said to pardon them is better.
Those who are weak and oppressed and could not find a plan to escape from darul
harb.
These Muslims, the infidels follow their internet habits (browsing habits). They realize
they go to websites of radical Muslims. After that, they brand them as radicalized. They
put you on a no fly list and take your passport.
These are the muslims Allah is talking about in the following ayah
"Was not the earth of Allāh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?"
Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! (An-Nisa
4:97) Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot
devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way. (An-Nisa 4:98)
Allah did not say all of you, who live in Europe or America. If you go to a google site to
visit these sites, they will seize your pass port and put you on a no fly list. You will be
trapped in darul harb. For these people, Allah said, you are not to be blamed.
It is an exemption to those who could not devise a plan nor find any other
way out. Ibn Kathir remarks: "These were people who could not rid
themselves of the disbelievers, and even had they been able to do so, they
would not have been able to direct their way" ["Tafsir Ibn Kathir",
Vol.2/343]
You are not intelligent enough to buy a dodgy passport under a christian name. You
cannot rid yourself of the unbelievers. Allah said, there are exceptions to the rule - the
people who are oppressed will not be blamed.
If you are living in the UK and you buy a one way ticket, that is too obvious. You have
washed your hands with the kuffaar. A 19 year old bought a one way ticket to Turkey,
and the infidels threw the book at her. She will serve many years in prison.
You (the infidels) and I believe differently. We do not agree in regards to the fiqh. You
have gay churches and the church of the satan. We don't believe in that.
Since you hate us, you even hate our shadow, then allow us to leave. They say even
though we hate you, you cannot leave. You have to live with us.
The 19 year old was only trying to migrate from darul harb. When the sahabah's
migrated, they had to do it at night, because the kuffaar were stopping them.
Their hearts are alike, We have indeed made plain the signs for people who
believe with certainty. (Al-Baqarah 2:118)
The infidels pass laws that they are going to watch your browsing habits. They call it
homeland security. They pass laws to snoop on you.
They are going to seize your passport and put your name on a no fly list because they
don't want you to migrate.
Ibn ‘Asakir narrated that ‘Ali said: I don’t know of anyone who didn’t
emigrate in secret except for ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab; because when he wanted
to emigrate he strapped on his sword, put his bow over his shoulder, carried
his arrows in his hand, and came to the Ka‘bah where the nobles of Quraysh
were in the courtyard. He performed seven circuits, and then prayed two
raka‘at at the Station (of Ibrahim). Then he approached their circle one step
at a time and said, “What ugly faces! Whoever wishes to bereave his mother,
orphan his children and widow his wife then let him meet me behind this
valley.” Not one of them followed him. [Taken from jalal ad din-asuyuti’s the
history of the khailifs; pg 118]
Everybody else migrated secretly because the kuffaar were stopping them except for
Umar ibn al Khattab.
They don't want you to migrate because they know if Muslims live amongst them it will
save them from natural disasters. When Prophet Lut left Sodom and Gomorrah, Allah
destroyed the gay city.
So they want the Muslims to live amongst them because the Muslims are their
protection.
The second reason why they don't want you to migrate is because it's easy to keep an
eye on you if you're living in their house.
This is why they take away your passport and put you on a no fly list. Do you see how
evil these kuffar are?
What is the status of the fourth category of Muslims who couldn't find a way to migrate
because they were weak and oppressed in the land?
Their status is that they are real Muslims; they are neither hypocrites nor fasiqun.
You can't find one good quality of the white and black kuffaar in Europe and America.
Why? Because they are human devils. They are human garbage; low life scums of the
earth.
They are those who travel to their land for tourism and sightseeing.
These Muslims who go to these destinations for tourism and sightseeing, they dabble in
drugs, alcohol, zina, night clubs and casinos.
“The Siyaahah of my ummah is jihad for the sake of Allah.” Narrated by Abu
Dawood (2486); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Sahih Abi
They travel to daarul harb to liberate the people from kufr, shirk and zandaqa.
And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e.
worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for
Allah Alone [in the whole of the world[]]. But if they cease (worshipping
others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do. (Al-
Anfal 8:39)
Allah is saying to fight them till there's no more shirk on the land.
These mujahideen go to daarul harb to take the people from the servitude of man to
the servitude of Allah.
And to take them away from the narrowness of the dunya to the vastness of the
hereafter.
Because of this reality, the Prophet said Jihad is compulsory until Judgement Day.
On the authority of Jabir the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "... Jihad is
compulsory on you until Judgment Day..." [al-Mu'jam al-Awsat al-Tabarani
(5/95) No. 4775 and Abu Naeem al-Asbahani in 'Hilyatul Awliya' (3/73)]
As long as there is shirk in the world, we have to do jihad. We cannot hang up our
weapons.
Salamah bin Nufail Al-Kindi (RA) said that one day I was sitting with Prophet
(SAW) then a person said ”O Prophet of Allah! The value of horse has
decreased in the eyes of people and they have left the weapons and they say
that Jihad has ended, because battle has ended." On hearing this the Prophet
(SAW) faced him and said: "They are lying, fighting has stopped for now and
a section (group) of my Ummah will always fight (do Jihad) for the truth.
Allah will turn them away from Kufr to Imaan and will give them rizq from
amongst them until Qiyamah and until the promise of Allah comes. And Allah
has written good in the forehead of horses until Qiyamah. And He has
revealed on me that my ruh (soul) will be taken away and you will follow me
after dividing into several groups, and you will kill each other. And the center
(‘Uqr) of Mumineen (believers) is Ash-Shaam." [Sunan al-Nasa'i (6/214) No.
3561, Musnad Ahmad (4/104) No. 17006, Sahih Ibn Hibban (16/296) No.
7307]
The Prophet said a group from his ummah will forever do jihad until they meet up with
the army of the dajjal and fight the army of the dajjal.
Imraan ibn Hussain (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, ‘A
group of people from my Ummah will continue to fight for the sake of the
truth until the last of them fights the Dajjal (anti-Christ) [Sunan Abu Dawud
(3/4) No. 2484, Musnad Ahmad (4/437) No. 19934, Mustadrak al-Haakim
(2/81) No. 2392]
Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said, “The state of a place reflects the
state of a person. It is possible to be sometimes a Muslim and at other times
a disbeliever; sometimes sincere and at other times hypocritical; sometimes
good and pious and at other times rotten and corrupt. Thus, a person
becomes like the place of his abode. The migration of a person from a land of
disbelief and profanity to one of faith and probity is an expression of
repentance and of his turning away from disobedience and perversion to
belief and obedience. This is so until the Day of Resurrection.” [Majmu’al-
Fatawa, (18/284)]
Ibn Hazm (rh) states that: “Whoever joins the ‘land of war’ and disbelief, of
his own free will and in defiance of whoever amongst the Muslims calls him
to his side, is by virtue of this act an apostate, by all the laws of apostasy, in
Islam. Whoever is able to kill him must do so. His property is unprotected, his
marriage null and void, all his rights are swept away. [Ibn Hazm, al-Muhalla’:
(13/139-140)]
It is obligatory to leave the lands of the Bidah (innovation). Imam Malik said:
"None of you may remain in a country where the Companions are cursed' [
Ibn al-Arabi, "Ahkaam al-Qur'an", Vol. 1/484-485.]
If we are not allowed to live in a land where the sahabah’s are cursed, what about to
live in a land where the Prophet is cursed with cartoons like they are doing presently in
Europe and America.
To take up residence among the kuffaar in daarul harb goes against al wala wal bara.
He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allah, will find on earth
many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home
as an emigrant unto Allah and His Messenger, and death overtakes him, his
reward is then surely incumbent upon Allah. And Allah is Ever OftForgiving,
Most Merciful. (An-Nisa 4:100)
You don't believe in the promise of Allah which is found in the above ayah.
And as for those who emigrated for the Cause of Allah, after suffering
oppression, We will certainly give them goodly residence in this world, but
indeed the reward of the Hereafter will be greater, if they but knew! (An-
Nahl 16:41)
(They are) those who remained patient (in this world for Allah's sake), and
put their trust in their Lord (Allah Alone). (An-Nahl 16:42)
By you living in daarul harb and refusing to migrate, it proves you don't believe in the
promise of Allah.
And when the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a disease (of doubts)
said: "Allah and His Messenger (SAW) promised us nothing but delusions!"
(Al-Ahzab 33:12)
I'm not going to leave the UK, US, France, Germany, etc because what if I can't find
food
You are going to work and pay tax to them and they use your tax to kill Muslims.
They are going to force you to join their army and send you to the frontline to kill your
Muslim brothers, because kaafirs are dictators.
They were forcing Muhammad Ali to go to Vietnam. They took away his belt and put
him in prison for 5 years.
On June 20, 1967, Ali was convicted of draft evasion, sentenced to five years in prison,
fined $10,000 and banned from boxing for three years.
When you live in daarul harb they are going to force you to fight their freemasonic
wars.
Living in daarul harb means you are living behind enemy lines.
The white man used the Vietnam war to do a cull of young black males.
Many were sent to the frontline to die in the Vietnam War and the Korean war
Children have young impressionable minds. They are confused between western culture
and Islamic culture.
They are confused between Islamic values and Western values. They are confused
between Islamic education and Western education.
They are confused about their religiosity. They don't know if there's a god.
They are confused about their sexuality; they don't know if they are straight or gay.
They are confused about their spirituality. They are not sure if they want to be a Muslim
anymore.
They are confused about their identity; they don't know if they are Muslim first or
British first.
That is the danger of living in daarul harb.
They are confused about their morailty; they are not sure what is halal and haraam
anymore.
Salman Rushdie said the best day in his life was when he ate pork at university.
Allah said you should save your family from the hellfire.
O you who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a Fire (Hell)
whose fuel is men and stones, over which are (appointed) angels stern (and)
severe, who disobey not, (from executing) the Commands they receive from
Allah, but do that which they are commanded. (At-Tahrim 66:6)
Allah told you in the Qur'an some of your wives and children will prevent you from
migrating so beware of them.
O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are
enemies for you (i.e. may stop you from the obedience of Allah), therefore
beware of them! But if you pardon (them) and overlook, and forgive (their
faults), then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (At-Taghabun
64:14)
In daarul harb, their media says every Muslim in the world is a terrorist.
Imam Malik said it is haraam to live in a land where the companions of Muhammad are
insulted. So to live in a land where Muhammad is insulted is bigger kufr.
Imam Malik said: "None of you may remain in a country where the
Companions are cursed' [ Ibn al-Arabi, "Ahkaam al-Qur'an", Vol. 1/484-485.]
Their school syllabus teaches atheism and brainwashes your kids to believe to be gay is
normal and fornications is normal.
Their school syllabus was put together by the freemasons. Therefore the syllabus is
satanic and demonic.
Because the Muslims are being attacked 24 hours a day in the media, most of the
Muslims in daarul harb are suffering from inferiority complex.
This is exactly what the zionists want. Because inferiority complex is the first step
towards apostasy.
7 - WHEN YOU LIVE IN DAARUL HARB, YOU BECOME A FITNAH FOR THE
KUFFAR
Because they are supposed to treat you as equal citizens but they find it impossible
because of their hatred for you.
"Our Lord! Make us not a trial for the disbelievers, and forgive us, Our Lord!
Verily, You, only You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise." (Al-Mumtahinah 60:5)
That is a dua in the above ayah that you are supposed to make.
It means you are asking Allah not to allow you to become a fitnah for the kuffaar by
living amongst them in daarul harb for them to treat you badly.
They are going to believe their trinity is right but my tawheed is wrong.
The third tafseer: O Allah, do not allow me to become a POW in their midst.
When you live in daarul harb, the police pick on you. You suffer police harassment.
They fake charges against you. Sometimes when they arrest you, there's blood all ove
the floor. This is exactly what they did to Babar Ahmad. Four white racist cops did it.
The British are the most racist people in the world because the Sun newspaper is their
bible.
If I ask you for one good quality about the British, it is impossible.
When you live in daarul harb, they watch your browsing habits.
Then they section you off as a terrorist just by the websites you visited. Because daarul
harb is a police state
The illuminatis make daarul harb a police state because they are insecure. They are
insecure because they have the blood of innocents on their hands.
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad
Peace be upon him ) till you follow their religion. Say: "Verily, the Guidance
of Allah (i.e. Islamic Monotheism) that is the (only) Guidance. And if you (O
Muhammad Peace be upon him ) were to follow their (Jews and Christians)
desires after what you have received of Knowledge (i.e. the Qur'an), then
you would have against Allah neither any Wali (protector or guardian) nor
any helper. (Al-Baqarah 2:120)
They bring out new laws each day that make it impossible for you to hang on to your
Islam.
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad
Peace be upon him ) till you follow their religion. (Al-Baqarah 2:120)
Anas ibn Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “A time will come
on the people when the patient among them on his religion will be like one
who holds live coal (in his hand). [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/526) No. 2260]
This hadith is talking about living in daarul harb behind enemy lines.
And they will never cease fighting you until they turn you back from your
religion (Islamic Monotheism) if they can. And whosoever of you turns back
from his religion and dies as a disbeliever, then his deeds will be lost in this
life and in the Hereafter, and they will be the dwellers of the Fire. They will
abide therein forever." (Al-Baqarah 2:217)
The above mentioned ayah tells you the infidels will force you to apostate if you live
amongst them.
And those who disbelieved, said to their Messengers: "Surely, we shall drive
you out of our land, or you shall return to our religion." So their Lord inspired
them: "Truly, We shall destroy the Zalimun (polytheists, disbelievers and
wrong-doers.). (Ibrahim 14:13)
"For if they come to know of you, they will stone you (to death or abuse and
harm you) or turn you back to their religion, and in that case you will never
be successful." (Al-Kahf 18:20)
The reason why the kaafirs want you to apostate is because they envy you for your
religion like Allah told you in Surah Baqarah verse 109.
Many of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) wish that if they
could turn you away as disbelievers after you have believed, out of envy from
their ownselves, even, after the truth (that Muhammad Peace be upon him is
Allah's Messenger) has become manifest unto them. But forgive and
overlook, till Allah brings His Command. Verily, Allah is Able to do all things.
(Al-Baqarah 2:109)
Dr David Kelly wasn't convinced about the case for war. They killed him and dumped
him in the bushes.
They said he killed himself. The reason why they said he committed suicide because a
dead man cannot tell any tales.
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/jul/16/david-kelly-death-10-years-on
They killed many of their citizens and claimed they committed suicides.
They throw many of their citizens from heights and say they committed suicide.
If you don't toe the line in daarul harb, they kill you.
When you live in daarul harb, you may suffer what the Muslims are suffering in Burma
and CAR.
The above hadith is describing to us the economic system of daarul harb which is based
on riba.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "Riba has seventy
segments, the least serious being equivalent to a man committing adultery
with his own mother." [Sunan Ibn Majah (3/337) No. 2274 and Mustadrak
al-Haakim (2/43) No. 2259]
You are not allowed to help the mujahideen to liberate occupied Muslim lands.
When they occupy your land and steal your oil, you are not allowed to stop them. If
you stop them, you are a terrorist.
The crime rate in daarul harb is too high for Muslims to live there.
Many Muslims have their cars stolen in daarul harb and their houses burgled.
There's no security.
14 - WHEN YOU LIVE IN DAARUL HARB, YOU ARE LIVING AMONGST THE
WORST OF ALLAH'S CREATION
while those who disbelieve enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat, and the
Fire will be their abode. (Muhammad 47:12)
Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like
cattle; nay, they are even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than
cattle). (Al-Furqan 25:44)
Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture
(Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikun will abide in the Fire of Hell. They
are the worst of creatures. (Al-Baiyinah 98:6)
The above mentioned verses are clear evidence that the kuffar are the worst of Allah's
creation.
15 - WHEN YOU LIVE AMONG THEM, YOU WILL BE RAISED AMONG THEM ON
THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr who said: “Anyone who lived in the
land of the infidels and celebrated their religious festivals and imitated them
till he died in that state, will be raised among them on the Day of Judgment.”
[al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (9/392) No. 18864]
Narrated By Anas: A bedouin came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! When will The Hour be established?" The Prophet said, "Wailaka
(Woe to you), What have you prepared for it?" The bedouin said, "I have not
prepared anything for it, except that I love Allah and His Apostle." The
Prophet said, "You will be with those whom you love." We (the companions
of the Prophet) said, "And will we too be so? The Prophet said, "Yes." So we
became very glad on that day. In the meantime, a slave of Al-Mughira passed
by, and he was of the same age as I was. The Prophet said. "If this (slave)
should live long, he will not reach the geriatric old age, but the Hour will be
established." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 73, Hadith #188]
Since we will be resurrected with those whom we live with, we should live in daarul
Islam not daarul harb.
The Muslim Character
THE MUSLIM CHARACTER
Download
Bismillah...
Ayyub ibn Musa reported on the authority of his father who from his grand father that Allah’s
Messenger (SAW) said, “No father gave a better gift to his son than (teaching) good manners."
[Tirmidhi 1959, Ahmed 15403]
- the best thing a father can give to his child is a good character
- many times you see Muslim children and they don’t have a good character
- because they were not raised properly by their parents
- Tarbiyya (Islamic up-bringing)
- the heaviest thing on the scales on the Day of Judgment is a good character
Narrated By Abu Darda': The Prophet (SAW) said: "There is nothing heavier than good character
put in the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection." [Abu Dawud 4799, Tirmidhi 2002, Ahmed
27587]
"There is in the body a clump of flesh - if it becomes good, the whole body becomes good and if it
becomes bad, the whole body becomes bad. And indeed it is the heart." [Bukhari, Volume 1, Book
2, Number 49]
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, "The most perfect of believers in
belief is the best of them in character. The best of you are those who are the best to their women."
[Tirmidhi 1165, Abu Dawud 4682]
Murji'a
- their women don’t cover their hair
- they don’t fast
- they don’t give to the poor
- they believe Islam is in their hearts
- they are liars
- if Islam was in their hearts, we would see it in their actions
- so when you say: “even though I don’t pray and I don’t fast, I am still a Muslim”, who are you kidding?
- they think we are stupid for us to believe their rubbish talk: "I don’t practise, but Islam is in my heart"
- if Islam was in your heart, you would be practising
- whenever you look in the mirror there is a du'a that you recite
Moral hygiene also was emphasized, for the Prophet, upon him be God’s blessings and peace,
encouraged Muslims to make a special prayer upon seeing themselves in the mirror: “God, You
have endowed me with a good form; like-wise bless me with an immaculate character ”(Ibn
Hanbal, Musnad, 1:34, 6:155)
- "O Allah you have made my face beautiful so make my character beautiful as well"
- the prophet (SAW) use to seek refuge from many things:
- weakness, being lazy, from being a wimp, from being stingy, losing memory in old age, hard-
heartedness, etc
- those who have no mercy in their hearts mercy will not be shown to them
Jarir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah said, "If someone does not show mercy to
people, Allah will not show mercy to him." [al-Bukhari (7376) and Muslim (5737)]
Abdullah ibn Amr (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Those who are merciful will
be given mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One above the
heavens will have mercy on you.” [Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 40, Hadith #4941]
Narrated By Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle kissed Al-Hasan bin Ali while Al-Aqra' bin Habis At-
Tamim was sitting beside him. Al-Aqra said, "I have ten children and I have never kissed anyone
of them," Allah's Apostle cast a look at him and said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not
be treated mercifully." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 73, Hadith #026]
- just when you think the kuffaar have done enough, they do more, these people are disgusting
- they come out with more things on an everyday bases
- if you go to their country to rape their kids, they are going kill you, nobody likes a paedophile
A believer is not bitten from the same hole twice.” (Related by Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, Abu
Dawood and Ibn Majah)
- Umar ibn Al-Khattab said: we were people with no honour and Allah give us honour through Islam
- Umar said if anybody tries to get nobility from a source
- other than Islam they will be disgraced in the land
During his Caliphate, Umar - radi Allahu 'anhu - once set out for Ash-Shaam and with him was Abu
Ubaydah. They came upon a deep creek which they needed to cross. So Umar took off his sandals
and carried them on his shoulders. Then he took the reign of the camel and began plowing
through the water. Abu Ubaydah - seeing the Khaleefah of the Muslims in this state - felt saddened
and said, "I fear that the people of the village will think you un-honourable." Umar said, "Oh Abu
Ubaydah, if only someone less knowledgeable than you made such a statement. We were of the
most disgraced of people and Allah granted us honour with this Islam. Now, whenever we seek
honour in other than that which Allah honoured us with, Allah shall disgrace us (once again)."
Hosni Mubaruk
- he loved the Jews so much, he didn’t want to offend his Jewish 'brothers'
- he tried to get honour from Jews and now he is finished
- you can’t buy love from a Gora (white kaafir)
- these Goras don’t love themselves, that’s why they kill themselves
House of Saud
- when America declared his war on Islam, the Pakistani regime and Saudi rallied behind them
- but what happened to them? the crusaders killed them, the crusaders were killing the Brelvis
- what a great day it was!
Two Qiblas
- the black house in Makkah and the white house in Washington
- you need to decide which Qibla you want
- the one built by Ibraheem (AS) or the one owned by the kuffaar
- you need to decide which one you want, white or black
Allah says
They (hyprocrites) say: "If we return to Al-Madinah, indeed the more honourable ('Abdûllah bin
Ubai bin Salul, the chief of hyprocrites at Al¬Madinah) will expel therefrom the meaner (i.e. Allah's
Messenger SAW)." But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, His Messenger (Muhammad
SAW), and to the believers, but the hypocrites know not. (Al-Munafiqun 63:8)
“If you deal in usury (riba) and hang onto the tails of cows, being satisfied with cultivation and
ceasing to take part in Jihad, Allah will inflict a humiliation upon you which will not be removed
until you return to your religion.” [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud and graded as authentic
by Al-Qattan. Al-Hafiz states in Al-Bulugh that the chain of narrators is trustworthy and reliable]
Narrated By 'Aisha: The Prophet used to seek refuge with Allah (by saying), "O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from the affliction of the Fire and from the punishment in the Fire, and seek
refuge with You from the affliction of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
wealth, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of poverty, and seek refuge with You from
the affliction of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal" [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 75, Hadith #387]
- shaytan uses poverty as a weapon and then he commands you to do shameful things
Shaitan (Satan) threatens you with poverty and orders you to commit Fahsha (evil deeds, illegal
sexual intercourse, sins etc.); whereas Allah promises you Forgiveness from Himself and Bounty,
and Allah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower. (Al-Baqarah 2:268)
- many women suffer anorexia in Europe, they are very skinny and you can see their bones
- the white man tells them that, if you are not skinny, you are not real women
- these women are oppressed, in Islam a woman is liberated
- if you marry an anorexic woman she may die when she’s thirty
Being Obese
- there are many people who die from being obese
- the believer eats with one intestine, the kuffaar eat with seven
Ibn Umar (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, “The disbeliever eats in seven intestines
while the believer eats in one intestine.’ [al-Bukhari (5393) and Muslim (2060)]
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter, and
forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been good to
you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidûn (those who commit
great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts). (Al-Qasas 28:77)
Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "I was
sent to perfect good character." [Maliks Muwatta, Book 47, Hadith #008]
Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for him
who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. (Al-Ahzab
33:21)
He it is Who sent among the unlettered ones a Messenger (Muhammad SAW) from among
themselves, reciting to them His Verses, purifying them (from the filth of disbelief and
polytheism), and teaching them the Book (this Qur'an, Islamic laws and Islamic jurisprudence)
and Al-Hikmah (As-Sunnah: legal ways, orders, acts of worship, etc. of Prophet Muhammad SAW).
And verily, they had been before in mainfest error; (Al-Jumu'ah 62:2)
And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are on an exalted standard of character. (Al-Qalam 68:4)
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever! (Al-Humuzah 104:3)
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire. (Al-Humuzah 104:4)
- Allah sent down this ayah because of what the people have done to the prophet
And We decreed for the Children of Israel in the Scripture, that indeed you would do mischief on
the earth twice and you will become tyrants and extremely arrogant! (Al-Isra 17:4)
- Allah told us in the Quran that they (Jews) will commit mischief on the earth twice
- and that they will become very proud and arrogant
- if you read the Quran then you will know, what’s happening in the world
- rather than keeping your Quran at home and let it gather dust, read it and benefit from it
First Mischief
- slandering prophets
Second Mischief
- 1948 - establishing Israel
- killing Muslims etc
- the enemies of Muhammad will have no hope in the future, this is a promise of Allah
Verily, We have granted you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) Al-Kauthar (a river in Paradise);
(Al-Kawthar 108:1)
Therefore turn in prayer to your Lord and sacrifice (to Him only). (Al-Kawthar 108:2)
For he who makes you angry (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)), - he will be cut off (from every
good thing in this world and in the Hereafter). (Al-Kawthar 108:3)
- Abu Lahab and his wife are going to hellfire, this is another promise of Allah
Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he! (Al-Masad 111:1)
His wealth and his children (etc.) will not benefit him! (Al-Masad 111:2)
And his wife too, who carries wood (thorns of Sadan which she used to put on the way of the
Prophet
(Peace be upon him) , or use to slander him). (Al-Masad 111:4)
Al-Ash'ari said, "Part of respect for Allah is to show respect to an old Muslim and to someone who
knows the Qur'an, as long as he does not go to excess in it nor turn away from it, and to respect a
just ruler." [Al-Adab al-Mufrad Al-Bukhari, Hadith #357]
Anas ibn Maalik narrated: An old man came to meet the Prophet The people were slow to give him
passage. So, the Prophet (SAW) said, “He is not one of us who is not compassionate to our young
(children) and respectful to our old.” [Tirmidhi 1926, Bukhari 354]
- Hassan and Hussain went to the Masjid and saw a man doing Wudhu
- the man was Jahil and did not know how to make Wudhu properly
- they wanted to teach him, so they had a competition between each other
- they asked the man to judge on, who is better, they did not disrespect the elderly man
One day an old pious Bedouin came to Medina. At the time of Prayers he began to make wudu’ but
he was making his wudu' (ablution) incorrectly. Hassan and Hussain (Allah be pleased with them
both) saw the old man making wudu’ wrong and they wanted to correct him. They didn’t want to
offend him or make him feel insulted, so they came up with a plan. They went to the old man and
said, "My brother and I disagree over who amongst us performs wudu’ the best. Would you mind
watching us make wudu’ and be the judge to see which one of us indeed performs wudu' more
correctly? Could you please correct us wherever we are wrong?" The man watched carefully
trying to judge who is better. In the end he understood what was going on and said "By Allah, I
did not know how to perform wudu’ before this. You have both taught me how to do it correctly."
Al-Ash'ari said, "Part of respect for Allah is to show respect to an old Muslim and to someone who
knows the Qur'an, as long as he does not go to excess in it nor turn away from it, and to respect a
just ruler." [Al-Adab al-Mufrad Al-Bukhari, Hadith #357]
Allah says
Allah sends His Salat (Graces, Honours, Blessings, Mercy, etc.) on the Prophet (Muhammad SAW)
and also His angels too (ask Allah to bless and forgive him). O you who believe! Send your Salat
on (ask Allah to bless) him (Muhammad SAW), and (you should) greet (salute) him with the Islamic
way of greeting (salutation i.e. As¬Salamu 'Alaikum). (Al-Ahzab 33:56)
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (RA) said: The Prophet (SAW) ascended the minbar and said:
“Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the minbar and said,
‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadan
comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive
and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not
send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.” [Narrated by Ibn Hibbaan, 3/188]
- with regards the fitna that took place between Ali and Muawiyah (RA)
- you are not allowed to insult either of them
And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded
us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You
are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. (Al-Hashr 59:10)
That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned and
you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do. (Al-Baqarah 2:134)
Bismillah…
i. POLITICAL LEADERSHIP
Prophet (saws) said topple the leader if you see clear kufr [Bukhari Vol 9 Page 146]
O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad SAW), and those of you
(Muslims) who are in authority. (And) if you differ in anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allah
and His Messenger (SAW), if you believe in Allah and in the Last Day. That is better and more
suitable for final determination. (An-Nisa 4:59)
- we've seen the leaders joining the United Nations, International Monetary Fund etc
- you are not allowed to join an organisation that is based on kufr
- you should only join groups based on Islam
During his Caliphate, Umar - radi Allahu 'anhu - once set out for Ash-Shaam and with him was Abu
Ubaydah. They came upon a deep creek which they needed to cross. So Umar took off his sandals
and carried them on his shoulders. Then he took the reign of the camel and began plowing
through the water. Abu Ubaydah - seeing the Khaleefah of the Muslims in this state - felt saddened
and said, "I fear that the people of the village will think you un-honourable." Umar said, "Oh Abu
Ubaydah, if only someone less knowledgeable than you made such a statement. We were of the
most disgraced of people and Allah granted us honour with this Islam. Now, whenever we seek
honour in other than that which Allah honoured us with, Allah shall disgrace us (once again)".

Ali ibn Abu Talib (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “The miser is he before whom I
am mentioned but he does not invoke blessings on me.” [Tirmidhi 3557, Ahmed 1736]
- the Shi’ites say karamallah wajhah, when the name of Ali (RA) is mentioned
- this is bid'ah, the people who practice bid’ah should not be given respect
Those who give respect to a bid'ati (innovator in Religion) surely will be counted as a helper of
destroying Islam. (Mishkat Sharif, p.31) (From The Virtues of Sunnah and the evils of Bid'ah in
Islam by Mufti Sayyid 'Abd al-Rahim Sahib Lajpuri)
- when history tells a situation in which the pious predecessors had a conflict
- e.g. Ali and Muawiyya
- you should not condemn either of them
- but your response should be 2:134
That was a nation who has passed away. They shall receive the reward of what they earned and
you of what you earn. And you will not be asked of what they used to do. (Al-Baqarah 2:134)
- Hassan Al Basri quoted this verse when he was asked about them
- you were not there and won’t be asked about it on judgment day
- so be concerned with what you'll be ask about
- e.g. the current situation of the Ummah, what have you done about that?
And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have preceded
us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed. Our Lord! You
are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. (Al-Hashr 59:10)
So ask of those who know the Scripture [learned men of the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)], if you know not. (An-Nahl 16:43)
- if you learn your Aqeedah you are saved from the viruses
- e.g. the MADkhalis, Goofy Soofis, the Shi’ites etc
- their viruses are so evident that you don’t need a microscope to see them
- the mad MADkhalis passed a recent fatwa saying the greatest jihad is to fight the Mujahideen
Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saying: "There is
something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal." It was then that I became afraid, so I said: " Oh
Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He (SAW) said; "Misguided and astray scholars." Recorded in
Musnad Imam Ahmad (no.21,334 and no.21,335).
Shall We then treat the (submitting) Muslims like the Mujrimûn (criminals, polytheists and
disbelievers, etc.)? (Al-Qalam 68:35)
What is the matter with you? How judge you? (Al-Qalam 68:36)
- they claim to be searching for a common ground, for the Abrahamic faiths which doesn’t exist
- we are unique in our Tauheed
- we have nothing in common: with regards to Allah (SWT), Muhammad, Jesus etc
Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allah is poor and we are
rich!" We shall record what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly, and We shall
say: "Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire)." (Aali Imran 3:181)
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers,
etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then
surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimûn (polytheists
and wrong¬doers and unjust). (Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad), (An-Najm 53:39)
- but they go to the extreme, in that they don’t help each other
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported that Allahs Messenger (SAW) said “If anyone relieves a Muslims
hardship in this world then Allah will remove from him a hardship of the hereafter. And if anyone
conceals a Muslims fault then Allah will conceal (his fault) in the world and the hereafter. And
Allah goes on helping the slave as long as the slave helps his brother. [Tirmidhi 1430, Muslim
2699, Abu Dawud 4946, Ahmed 7431]
- Shaikh studied in Saudi Arabia and saw no one eating from thrash
- the West is a very selfish culture
- this shows the superiority of Islamic over the western culture
- we follow Abraham (AS) who prepared a good meal for his guests (the angels)
The Messenger of Allah said: “Anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should not harm
his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should entertain his guest
generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should say what is good or keep
quite”. (Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol.8 pg.29 No.47)
O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true (in words and deeds). (At-
Tawbah 9:119)
i. IN BATTLE
- war is deception
...Ibn Shihab said he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak
as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration
of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in
a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them). [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith
#6303]
Narrated Ka'b ibn Malik: When the Prophet (SAW) intended to go on an expedition, he always
pretended to be going somewhere else, and he would say: "War is deception". [Abu Dawud 2629,
Tirmidhi 1681, Ahmed 14312]
ON THE AUTHORITY OF ANAS IBN MALIK A man without trust is a man without faith. And a man
who does not fulfill his promises is a man without faith. HADITH OF AHMAD IBN HANBAL.
- if you are bitten the same way twice, it means you are weak
A believer is not bitten from the same hole twice.” (Related by Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, Abu
Dawood and Ibn Majah)
- a man without honour won’t hesitate to rob you because he has nothing to lose
- some Muslims are so evil, Muslim women don’t want to marry them
- don’t molest kids because if girls are molested she'll either be a lesbian or will be a prostitute
- saying; if her close relative can do that to her, how can she trust another man?
- your close people (relatives) you should feel safe with you
- people seek a character reference before getting married, this is to build the trust
- some men marry for money and rip-off their wives
- trust is a beautiful quality to have trust in your character
And the king said: "Bring him to me that I may attach him to my person." Then, when he spoke to
him, he said: "Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and fully trusted." (Yusuf 12:54)
[Yûsuf (Joseph)] said: "Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full
knowledge" (as a minister of finance in Egypt, in place of Al-'Aziz who was dead at that
time).(Yusuf 12:55)
And said one of them (the two women): "O my father! Hire him! Verily, the best of men for you to
hire is the strong, the trustworthy." (Al-Qasas 28:26)
- Muhammad (SAW) was called Al-Ameen (the trustworthy), long before he became a rasul
- so the kufaar couldn’t make up anything against his character
- the poets don’t practice what they preach
The life of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) has been said by his wife,
Aisha (RA) to be like "a walking Qur’an", embodying the Laws of Almighty Allah (subhaana wa
taalah).
And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted! (Al-Muddaththir 74:20)
And once more let him be cursed, how he plotted! (Al-Muddaththir 74:20)
Then he said: "This is nothing but magic from that of old; (Al-Muddaththir 74:24)
- this is one of the predictions of the Quran, Waleed Ibn Mugheera died a kaafir
- he wanted to be a prophet, he was jealous of the rasul
And they say: "Why is not this Qur'an sent down to some great man of the two towns (Makkah and
Ta'if)?" (Az-Zukhruf 43:31)
- Allah will never reveal the Quran to a man who is not trustworthy
- when he was making hijrah
- he left Ali behind to return all the properties of the kuffaar that were entrusted to him
- the kuffaar trusted him with their wealth
- Allah (SWT) offered the responsibility of Islam to the mountains but they refused to take it
- we took it and Allah trusted us, yet we don’t implement the Shariah
- we implement everything except the Shariah
Truly, We did offer Al¬Amanah (the trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties
which Allah as ordained) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to
bear it and were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of Allah's Torment). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust
(to himself) and ignorant (of its results). (Al-Ahzab 33:72)
Stay chaste and your women will be chaste, and save yourself from that which is unfit for a
Muslim. Verily, adultery is a debt, if you have taken this debt, know that its payment will be taken
from the people of your household. One who commits adultery, in return adultery will be
committed with him, even though it will be committed against the wall of your house. O man! If
you are wise then you should know it (Diwan Ash-Shafi'i)
They have made their oaths a screen (for their hypocrisy). Thus they hinder (men) from the Path of
Allah. Verily, evil is what they used to do. (Al-Munafiqun 63:2)
- Imam Malik kicked the hypocrite from his study circle because it is contagious
Imam Malik: "Allah's rising over the throne is known, and how is unknown, to have faith in it is
obligatory and to question it is an innovation ". Then he said to the questioner: "I do not think
except that you are an evil man". So he ordered him to be expelled
- Umar chopped off the head of the man who asked for his opinion after the rasul (SAW) gave his verdict
- no one condemned him for this, if the rasul doesn’t condemn anything then it is hadith
- e.g. Khalid Ibn Walid eating the lizard
Malik related to me from Ibn Shihab from Abu Umama ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf from Abdullah ibn
Abbas that Khalid ibn al-Walid ibn al-Mughira entered the house of Maimuna, the wife of the
Prophet (SAW), with the Messenger of Allah (SAW), and he was brought a roasted lizard. The
Messenger of Allah (SAW), stretched his hand toward it. One of the women who was in Maimuna's
house said, "Tell the Messenger of Allah (SAW), what he means to eat." Someone said, "It is a
lizard, Messenger of Allah." He withdrew his hand. Khalid said, "Is it haram, Messenger of Allah?"
He said, "No, but there were none in my people's land, and I find that I dislike them."
Khalid added, "I chewed and ate it while the Messenger of Allah (SAW), was looking." [Maliks
Muwatta, Book 54, Hadith #010]
Bismillah…
RECAP
- This topic is very important; therefore we won’t rush through the topic
- the majority of Muslims are living in darul harb and if you do, it takes a toll on your character
- whenever you have milk and don’t want it to go off, you put it in a refrigerator
- therefore you need to put the Muslim in an Islamic environment
The kufaar have the Mardi Gras and they march for Gay people
- this is what you see in darul harb
You come to Paltalk and listen to Qur'an and Sunnah for 2 or 3 hours
- but the rest of the time you are in the society
- and you can’t be living in a cancer and not get affected by it
TRUSTWORTHINESS
- can we trust you with our wives, money etc?
- will you pay our money back when we lend you or you will steal it?
- some Muslims steal as if there is no judgment
The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The one who gets married with the intention not to pay dowry to his
wife is a fornicator. And the one who borrows money with the intention not to pay back is a thief.”
(Ibn Hiban, 2/270)
Rasul (SAW) said if you borrow money not to pay it back is a thief
- and this is what people do nowadays, that is stealing
A man bore witness in the presence of `Umar ibn al-Khattaab (RA), so `Umar said to him: “I do not
know you, and it does not harm you that I do not know you, but bring someone who does know
you.” So a man said: ‘I know him, O Chief of the Believers.’ Umar said: “What do you know of
him?” The man said: ‘Uprightness.’ Umar said: “Is he your closest neighbour; so that you know
about his night and his day, and his comings and goings?” The man said: ‘No.’ Umar said: “So
have you had (monetary) dealings with him involving dirhams and deenars, which will indicate his
piety?” The man said: ‘No.’ Umar said: “Then has he been your companion upon a journey which
could indicate to you his good character?” The man said: ‘No.’ Umar said: “Then you do not know
him.” Then he said to the man (who bore witness): “Bring me someone who knows you."
[Reported by Al-Bayhaqi and classed as Sahih by Al-Albani in Irwaa' Al-Ghaleel; 2637]
Money is a fitnah
- it's when you do business with him that you know him or if you travel with him
- that’s when you will see his true colors
A man without trust is a man without faith. And a man who does not fulfill his promises is a man
without faith. HADITH OF AHMAD IBN HANBAL. ON THE AUTHORITY OF ANAS IBN MALIK
Hudhayfah (RA) narrated: Allah’s Messenger (SAW) related to us two ahadith one of which I have
seen take place and I await the other to happen. He said to us, “Faith came down deep into the
roots of men’s hearts. Then the Qur’an descended, so they learnt from the Qur’an and they learnt
from the Sunnah (the right of faith).” After that he told us about withdrawal of trust (faith). He said,
“A man will sleep and faith will be withdrawn from his heart leaving its mark like a speckle. He will
sleep again and faith will be withdrawn leaving a mark like if a live coal dropped on your foot
causing a water blister with nothing in it.” Then, he picked up a pebble and dropped it on his foot.
He said, “People will transact business with each other but there would hardly be one who
honours his commitment, so that it would be said that among such-and-such tribe there is a man
worth trusting, and a man will be praised as wise, very good and firm, though he will not have in
his heart even so much faith as a grain of mustard seed.” Indeed I had gone through the times
when I bought and sold without hesitation. If a Muslim had to pay me my right then he came there
himself to hand it over to me. If right he was a Jew or Christian, their chiefs got for me my rights.
But, now-a-days, I do not deal with anyone though so-and-so and so-and-so do make
transactions. [al-Bukhari (6497) and Muslim (143)]
One of the signs of the last days is that Amaanah will be lifted up
- this is so prevalent and rife in the Ummah, that even the Shaikhs have become dodgy
- they pass dodgy fatwas
-e.g. Yusuf Qaradawi said you can join the army
- Al Fawzani said the greatest jihad is to fight the Mujahideen, this is a Saudi Salafi fatwa
And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'an) that when you hear the Verses of
Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a talk other than
that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like them. Surely, Allah will
collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell, (An-Nisa 4:140)
Truly, We did offer Al¬Amanah (the trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties
which Allah has ordained) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to
bear it and were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of Allah's Torment). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust
(to himself) and ignorant (of its results). (Al-Ahzab 33:72)
Say (O Muhammad SAW to the people of the Scripture): "Shall I inform you of something worse
than that, regarding the recompense from Allah: those (Jews) who incurred the Curse of Allah and
His Wrath, those of whom (some) He transformed into monkeys and swines, those who
worshipped Taghût (false deities); such are worse in rank (on the Day of Resurrection in the
Hell¬fire), and far more astray from the Right Path (in the life of this world)." (Al-Ma'idah 5:60)
- Allah turned the Jews into apes and swine, when they broke the Sabbath
- are you saying Allah was over reacting?
- These people are mad Madkhalis
So if you are in the presence of a woman she can tell if you are trustworthy or not
- can you imagine being with your wife and looking at every woman? She will ask for a divorce!
The story of rasul (SAW) was called the truthful the trustworthy, long before he became a prophet
- when he gathered Quraish and asked them,
- if he said an army has gathered behind the mountain, will they believe, they said they will believe him
-and then he invited them to Islam, as the people were contemplating
- Abu Lahab spoke against rasul, saying: is this why you have gathered us here
- and as a result the surah 111:1-4 was revealed
Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab (an uncle of the Prophet), and perish he! (Al-Masad 111:1)
His wealth and his children (etc.) will not benefit him! (Al-Masad 111:2)
And his wife too, who carries wood (thorns of Sadan which she used to put on the way of the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) , or use to slander him). (Al-Masad 111:4)
The best thing on your CV is not how fast you can use Microsoft Word
- the best you can have is trustworthy
- they will make you a manager or at least an assistant manager
When Yusuf came out of prison he didn’t have experience for the job
- but he was given the job because he was trustworthy
Many people lose their jobs because everywhere they go, they steal
- and when asked why they steal, they claim the job is not paying them enough
- so they have to steal to make ends meet
- rasul said what will take you to hell most is bad habit of your tongue
- the real Muslim is the one the people are safe from his hand and tongue
Narrated By 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming
Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons)
all what Allah has forbidden." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 2, Hadith #009]
1. BACKBITTING
- to speak bad about someone behind his back but what you said is true
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (SAW) as saying: Do you know what is backbiting? They
(the Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet)
said: Backbiting implies your talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like. It was
said to him: What is your opinion about this that if I actually find (that failing) in my brother which
I made a mention of? He said: If (that failing) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you in fact
backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a slander. [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith #6265]
2. SLANDERING
- to speak bad about someone behind his back and what you said was a lie
- Slandering is worst than backbiting
- many of you backbite and slander
- Allah spoke about them in Surah 104
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever! (Al-Humuzah 104:3)
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire. (Al-Humuzah 104:4)
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is? (Al-Humuzah 104:5)
The fire of Allah, kindled, (Al-Humuzah 104:6)
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). (Al-Humuzah
104:9)
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet (SAW), said, "Avoid the seven fatal sins." They said,
"Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said, "Associating with Allah, sorcery, killing a soul
which Allah has forbidden, except by legal right, consuming usury, consuming the property of an
orphan, fleeing on the day of battle and slandering unthinking chaste believing women." [al-
Bukhari and Muslim]
3. TO SPEAK KUFR
SHIA HUJJAH: “Allah often lies and does mistakes” [Usool-al-Kafi, page 328, Yacoob Kulayni, Vol.
1]
- many Sunnis don’t know this, but that’s what they say, that’s a statement of kufr
- the MADkhalis also speak kufr by believing to dismantle the Shariah is minor kufr
- the Jews did this by saying Allah is poor but they are rich
Indeed, Allah has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allah is poor and we are
rich!" We shall record what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly, and We shall
say: "Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire)." (Aali Imran 3:181)
He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How can He have children when He has no wife?
He created all things and He is the All-Knower of everything. (Al-An'am 6:101)
And by the Mercy of Allah, you dealt with them gently. And had you been severe and harsh-
hearted, they would have broken away from about you; so pass over (their faults), and ask
(Allah's) Forgiveness for them; and consult them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a
decision, put your trust in Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him). (Aali
Imran 3:159)
- so when Allah told us to establish Shurah are you saying He was asking us to establish democracy?
- the Ikhwanul Muslimeen (the Muslim brotherhood) in Egypt and Tunisia believe in this
- In the Shura we refer the matter to Quran and Sunnah when we differ
- but in democracy it is the majority
- claiming Allah is everywhere is another kufr
He it is Who created for you all that is on earth. Then He Istawā (rose over) towards the heaven
and made them seven heavens and He is the All-Knower of everything. (Al-Baqarah 2:29)
Abu Haneefah (rh) said, when asked of his opinion of the one who says, ‘I do not know whether
Allah is above the heavens or on the earth.’ - “He has disbelieved, because Allah says, “The Most
Merciful rose above the Throne,” and His Throne is above His seven heavens.’ He was then asked
, ‘what if he said that Allah is above His Throne but he does not know whether the Throne is in the
heavens or on the earth?’ He said, ‘He has disbelieved, because He has denied that He is above
the heavens, And whosoever denied that He is above the heavens has disbelieved.” (‘Sharh Usul
I'tiqaad Ahlus Sunnah’ of al-Laalikaaee (d.414AH), ‘al-Uluww’ of adh- Dhahabee, also ‘Sharh
Aqueedah at-Tahaawiyyah’ of ibn Abee al-Izz al-Hanafee)
-and they claim they follow Abu Haneefa, but Abu Haneefa made takfeer on people with such belief
-because it is kufr
4. SHIRK
Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is
no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they
cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.
(Al-Ma'idah 5:73)
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh
day from all his work which he had made. (Genesis 2:2) King James Version
And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his
work which God created and made. (Genesis 2:3) King James Version
5. TALE BEARING
It is reported from Hudhaifa that news reached him (the Holy Prophet) that a certain man carried
tales. Upon this Hudhaifa remarked: I heard Allah's Messenger (SAW) saying: "The tale-bearer
shall not enter Paradise." [al-Bukhari (6056) and Muslim (189)]
- You can lie to make two Muslims love each other, this is the best tale bearing
...Ibn Shihab said he did not hear that exemption was granted in anything what the people speak
as lie but in three cases: in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration
of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in
a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them). [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith
#6303]
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: The Prophet once passed by two graves, and those two persons (in the
graves) were being tortured. He said, "They are being tortured not for a great thing (to avoid). One
of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other was going about
with calumnies (to make enmity between friends). He then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree
split it into two pieces and fixed one on each grave. The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why
have you done so?" He replied, "I hope that their punishment may be lessened till they (the leaf)
become dry." (Sahih Bukhari, Vol 2, Book 23, Hadith #443)
And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allah's Path. They
follow nothing but conjectures, and they do nothing but lie. (Al-An'am 6:116)
6. BLACKMAILING
- to let out a secret when you didn’t get what you want
- somebody put the naked body of another person in another person's picture
- they superimposed the pictures
- and the person was asked for a huge sum of money, in order not to post it
- this is blackmail, that is how evil people are
- or to put poison in food in the supermarket and ask them for money or you will inject poison in the food
- especially in baby food
- blackmailing is a crime
- Your tongue and private parts will cause you to go to hellfire most
- if you safeguard these two, you will be guaranteed paradise
Narrated By Sahl bin Sa'd: Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is
between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his tongue and his private
parts), I guarantee Paradise for him." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 76, Hadith #481]
O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than
the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the
former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult
one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner",
or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimûn (wrong-doers,
etc.). (Al-Hujurat 49:11)
When I was about 11 in Jamaica, a man got choked and everybody call him hotdog
- and when you oppose the name it sticks
- if you ignore it then it won’t
- it is not Islamic to call people names like that
8. CHARACTER ASSASINATION
- this is when you spread rumours about somebody in the community that is not true
- the munafiqeen did this to Aisha
Verily! Those who brought forth the slander (against 'Aishah the wife of the Prophet SAW) are a
group among you. Consider it not a bad thing for you. Nay, it is good for you. Unto every man
among them will be paid that which he had earned of the sin, and as for him among them who had
the greater share therein, his will be a great torment. (An-Nur 24:11)
- Allah said it is good for you when they slander you because they will give you their pious deeds
- or take away your sins, so this is an investment
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet (SAW), said, "Avoid the seven fatal sins." They said,
"Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said, "Associating with Allah, sorcery, killing a soul
which Allah has forbidden, except by legal right, consuming usury, consuming the property of an
orphan, fleeing on the day of battle and slandering unthinking chaste believing women." [al-
Bukhari and Muslim]
- the person you assassinated his character, will take your good deeds
- Hassan Al Basri gave a basket of fruits to a man that used to slander his name
- this is because he was giving him his good deeds
- this is so prevalent in the community, they assassinate your character because they are jealous of you
9. APOSTASY (RIDDAH)
- if you say Muhammad (SAW) was a false prophet you become a kaafir, even if you were joking
- and if you doubt this person is a kaafir or you refuse to make takfeer on him
- you become a kaafir too, this is called CHAIN TAKFEER
10. ZANDAQA
11. INSULT
- to say to a person to get lost, to speak to a person in such a way you put him down
-and it is worst when done in front of people, proud people like to do this most
12. BLASPHEMY
i. Allah
ii. His rasul
iii. Qur'an
- another zandaqa is that a ship will come to carry all the black people to paradise
- this is the Aqeedah of the nation of Islam, they call the ship, “A mercy ship”
- they also say that the white man was created in a science lab by a mad scientist called Yaqub
- and Allah told you that you can’t create even a housefly
O mankind! A similitude has been coined, so listen to it (carefully): Verily! Those on whom you
call besides Allah, cannot create (even) a fly, even though they combine together for the purpose.
And if the fly snatched away a thing from them, they would have no power to release it from the
fly. So weak are (both) the seeker and the sought. (Al-Hajj 22:73)
Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allah) on the
people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture [the Taurat
(Torah)]! Have you then no sense? (Al-Baqarah 2:44)
O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? (As-Saff 61:2)
Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do. (As-Saff 61:3)
- You preach against alcohol and drink it
- you have to be the walking Qur'an, for your dawah to be successful
- don’t let your enemies laugh at you, the hypocrites want you to slip, so that they will laugh at you
- this is because they are jealous of your Deen
- you are practising, but they are not, they wish they were practising
- but Allah did not give them the Tawfiq
- your protection against these is your sincerity
- Allah said the best provision is Taqwa and take it with you on a journey
-Whenever you are on a journey take provisions and taqwa is the best provision
- see 2:197
…And take a provision (with you) for the journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety,
righteousness, etc.). So fear Me, O men of understanding! (Al-Baqarah 2:197)
Bismillah…
Verily, spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan (DevilSatan) is ever
ungrateful to his Lord. (Al-Isra 17:27)
[Iblis (Satan)] said: "O my Lord! Give me then respite till the Day they (the dead) will be
resurrected." (Al-Hijr 15:36)
- even the Shaytaan acknowledges that Allah is his One and only Lord
- yet a Christians don’t know who is his Lord
- the Aqeedah of Iblis is better than that of the Christian
- on judgment day he will make a mockery at all those who followed him
And Shaitan (Satan) will say when the matter has been decided: "Verily, Allah promised you a
promise of truth. And I too promised you, but I betrayed you. I had no authority over you except
that I called you, so you responded to me. So blame me not, but blame yourselves. I cannot help
you, nor can you help me. I deny your former act in associating me (Satan) as a partner with Allah
(by obeying me in the life of the world). Verily, there is a painful torment for the Zalimûn
(polytheists and wrong-doers, etc.)." (Ibrahim 14:22)
- he will say the promise of Allah was true and mine was fake, why did you listen to me and not Allah?
- in order to be a proper Muslim you have to be grateful
- when the Rasool (SAW) was shown hellfire
- it was shown majority of women because they were ungrateful and the rich men
Narrated By Ibn 'Abbas: The Prophet said: "I was shown the Hell-fire and that the majority of its
dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in Allah?" (or are
they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to their husbands and are ungrateful
for the favours and the good (charitable deeds) done to them. If you have always been good
(benevolent) to one of them and then she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I
have never received any good from you." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 1, Book 2, Hadith #028]
Penetrating forthwith as one into the midst (of the foe); (Al-'Adiyat 100:5)
And to that fact he bears witness (by his deeds); (Al-'Adiyat 100:7)
- Allah gave you everything you want, but did you thank him?
- NO you wrote a book instead claiming that God is nothing but a myth
- this is because Europe is mainly pagan and atheist, the book was a bestselling book
- because on judgment day you will have to answer for the blessings you had
- food, drink and sex, all the pleasures of the flesh etc
Then, on that Day, you shall be asked about the delight[] (you indulged in, in this world)! (At-
Takathur 102:8)
Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) went out (of his house) one day or one night,
and there he found Abu Bakr and 'Umar also. He said: What has brought you out of your houses
at this hour? They said: Allah's Messenger, it is hunger. Thereupon he said: By Him in Whose
Hand is my life, what has brought you out has brought me out too; get up. They got up along with
him and (all of them) came to the house of an Ansari, but he was not at home. When his wife saw
him she said: Most welcome, and Allah's Messenger (SAW) said to her: Where is so and so? She
said: He has gone to get some fresh water for us. When the Ansari came and he saw Allah's
Messenger (SAW) and his two Companions, he said: Praise be to Allah, no one has more
honourable guests today than I (have). He then went out and brought them a bunch of ripe dates,
dry dates and fresh dates, and said: Eat some of them. He then took hold of his long knife (for
slaughtering a goat or a sheep). Allah's Messenger (SAW) said to him: Beware of killing a milch
animal. He slaughtered a sheep for them and after they had eaten of it and of the bunch and drank,
and when they had taken their fill and had been fully satisfied with the drink, Allah's Messenger
(SAW) said to Abu Bakr and Umar: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, you will certainly be
questioned about this bounty on the Day of judgment. Hunger brought you out of your house,
then you did not return until this bounty came to you. [Sahih Muslim, Book 23, Hadith #5055]
- he likes to brag about, how many women he slept with and how much money he gambled
- this is not something to brag about
- rather put your head down in shame, this is something you will account for on the day of judgment
- are you going to be like Saleh Fawzan?
- saying the greatest jihad is to kill the Mujahideen?
- do you know the reason why he panicked and gave this fatawa?
- the Mujahideen in Yemen are conquering town after town, so they are scared
- because there is a hadith about Yemen, where 12,000 men will rise
It has been narrated to us from Abdullah that Abi Thana Abd ar-Razaq narrated from al-Munther
bin Nu'man al-Aftas that he said: "I heard Wahb narrating that Ibn Abbas said, the Prophet (pbuh)
said: 'An army of twelve-thousand will come out of Aden-Abyan. They will give victory to Allah
and His messenger; they are the best between myself and them'."
“Out of Aden-Abyan will come 12,000, giving victory to the (religion of) Allah and His Messenger.
They are the best between me and them.” (Ahmad: 2918, 2079 and At-Tabrani in Al-Kabir: 11029
(11/56).
- if you are 12,000 strong with right Aqeedah, no one can defeat you
- that fatwa of Fawzaan is not feesabillilah (for the sake of Allah)
- but feesabilli paycheck (for the sake of the paycheck)
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, “The best number of sahabah is four, the
best number of men in expedition is four hundred, the best number of men in armies is four
thousand, and twelve thousand will not be defeated because of poor numbers.” [Tirmidhi 1561,
Ahmed 2682, Abu Dawud 2611]
- that’s why Fawzaan quickly passed this fatwah, Fawzaan is a MADkhali and passed this dodgy fatwa
- because the Mujahideen said they are coming on the house of Saud next
- the kuffaar killing Anwar Al Awlaki wasn’t a benefit for the Taghoot
- because the brother in law of Awlaki is the leader of AQAP, so how did this benefit you?
- some Muslims worship personalities, once they hear a Sheikh they start to worship him
- Snake Nazim from Cyprus said he has the mobile/cell number of rasool (SAW)
- he also said that he will be there when Munkaar and Nakeer question one in the grave
- just donate money to his dawaah
‘Another of the miracles of Moulana Sheikh Nazim is the miracle in the grave. When the Angels
appear in the mureeds grave to question him, Moulana Sheikh Nazim will immediately be there
and say to the Angels “Don’t question my follower, question me instead of him and I will answer
on his behalf.“ The Angels shall not be able to bear the Light of Moulana Sheikh Nazim and due to
this they shall be forced to go away.’http://www.sheiknazim2.com/haqiqat.html
- if you are ungrateful to The Creator, how will you be grateful to the creation of Allah?
- the American gave the Mujahideen weapons
- and called them freedom fighters, when they were fighting the Soviet Union
- but now they call them terrorist
- the kuffaar in Belmarsh told Sheikh, that nothing else is important other than money and sex
- they also said you need 60 faces in life, you can’t have one face, if you have one face you will not
survive
- so if you are a munafiq, you will survive in their stance
…After Ishmael's mother had died, Abraham came after Ishmael's marriage in order to see his
family that he had left before, but he did not find Ishmael there. When he asked Ishmael's wife
about him, she replied, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Then he asked her about their
way of living and their condition, and she replied, 'We are living in misery; we are living in
hardship and destitution,' complaining to him. He said, 'When your husband returns, convey my
salutation to him and tell him to change the threshold of the gate (of his house).' When Ishmael
came, he seemed to have felt something unusual, so he asked his wife, 'Has anyone visited you?'
She replied, 'Yes, an old man of so-and-so description came and asked me about you and I
informed him, and he asked about our state of living, and I told him that we were living in a
hardship and poverty.' On that Ishmael said, 'Did he advise you anything?' She replied, 'Yes, he
told me to convey his salutation to you and to tell you to change the threshold of your gate.'
Ishmael said, 'It was my father, and he has ordered me to divorce you. Go back to your family.' So,
Ishmael divorced her and married another woman from amongst them (i.e. Jurhum).
Then Abraham stayed away from them for a period as long as Allah wished and called on them
again but did not find Ishmael. So he came to Ishmael's wife and asked her about Ishmael. She
said, 'He has gone in search of our livelihood.' Abraham asked her, 'How are you getting on?'
asking her about their sustenance and living. She replied, 'We are prosperous and well-off (i.e. we
have everything in abundance).' Then she thanked Allah' Abraham said, 'What kind of food do you
eat?' She said. 'Meat.' He said, 'What do you drink?' She said, 'Water." He said, "O Allah! Bless
their meat and water." The Prophet added, "At that time they did not have grain, and if they had
grain, he would have also invoked Allah to bless it." The Prophet added, "If somebody has only
these two things as his sustenance, his health and disposition will be badly affected, unless he
lives in Mecca." The Prophet added," Then Abraham said Ishmael's wife, "When your husband
comes, give my regards to him and tell him that he should keep firm the threshold of his gate.'
When Ishmael came back, he asked his wife, 'Did anyone call on you?' She replied, 'Yes, a good-
looking old man came to me,' so she praised him and added. 'He asked about you, and I informed
him, and he asked about our livelihood and I told him that we were in a good condition.' Ishmael
asked her, 'Did he give you any piece of advice?' She said, 'Yes, he told me to give his regards to
you and ordered that you should keep firm the threshold of your gate.' On that Ishmael said, 'It
was my father, and you are the threshold (of the gate). He has ordered me to keep you with me.'…
[Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 55, Hadith #583]
- the reason why sheikh quoted this is because the first wife was ungrateful
- she didn’t even mention Allah, the second wife said Alhamdulillah
O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold
firm. (Muhammad 47:7)
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, Allah, the
Exalted and Glorious, would say on the Day of Resurrection: O son of Adam, I was sick but you
did not visit Me. He would say: O my Lord; how could I visit Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the
worlds? Thereupon He would say: Didn't you know that such and such servant of Mine was sick
but you did not visit him and were you not aware of this that if you had visited him, you would
have found Me by him? O son of Adam, I asked food from you but you did not feed Me. He would
say: My Lord, how could I feed Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? He said: Didn't you
know that such and such servant of Mine asked food from you but you did not feed him, and were
you not aware that if you had fed him you would have found him by My side? (The Lord would
again say) O son of Adam, I asked drink from you but you did not provide Me. He would say: My
Lord, how could I provide Thee whereas Thou art the Lord of the worlds? Thereupon He would
say: Such and such of servant of Mine asked you for a drink but you did not provide him, and had
you provided him drink you would have found him near Me. [Sahih Muslim, Book 32, Hadith
#6232]
"...And Allah goes on helping the slave as long as the slave helps his brother." [Tirmidhi 1430,
Muslim 2699, Abu Dawud 4946, Ahmed 7431]
- in order for you to be a good Muslim and have a good character
- you have to be helpful to your Muslim brothers and sisters
Narrated by An-Nu'man bin Bashir: The Prophet (SAW) said: “The likeness of the believers in their
mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of one body; when one part of it suffers, the rest of the
body joins it in staying awake and suffering fever.” [al-Bukhaari (6011) and Muslim (2586)]
The Prophet (SAW) said: “All the people of the world will soon summon one another to attack you
as people gather around a table when invited to part take of its meal” Someone asked, ‘will that be
because of our small numbers at that time?’ He( the Prophet) replied: “No, you will be numerous
at that time but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried down by a torrent, and Allah will
take fear from the breast of your enemies and cast “wahn” into your hearts”. Someone asked
‘What is “wahn” O Messenger of Allah?’ He replied “Love for the world and dislike of death”.
(Sunnan Abu Dawud English trans. Vol. 3 pg.1196 No.4284)
- people who have wahn in their hearts, are the people who don’t do Jihaad
- and give conditions for not doing Jihaad, for example you need a caliph for Jihaad
- Sheikh Bin Baaz said in 1980’s that Jihaad was Fardul Ayn, there was no caliph then
- in 1980’s Bin Baaz passed the fatwa
- Jimmy Carter was the first person to condemn the invasion of the Soviet Union to Afghanistan
- Sheikh’s question to these dodgy scholars is, that there was no caliph in 1980
- when someone has disease in their heart, they say we have a Covenant of Security
- the people who believe in Covenant of Security are munaafiqs
- the Covenant of Security was broken when they invaded Afghanistan and Iraq
- when they raped little kids in Afghanistan, are you a dinosaur that doesn’t study fiqhul waqi?
- look how careful the kaafir is with his words, they don’t say Muslims
- the kufaar are so clever with their words, they know the power of words
- it’s more deadly than an atomic bomb, like the words of Ibn Taymiyyah
- the FBI arrested a man after 9/11, they asked him who inspired him to be a Mujahideen
- the man replied, Ibn Taymiyyah, they are so stupid that, they put out an arrest warrant for Ibn
Taymiyyah
- even though he died a long time ago
- a spin doctor is a person who reports news
- they are careful with their words in case they cause a revolution
- a wicked scholar is a spin doctor, his job is to spin every ayah and hadith out of context
- they don’t give tafseer, but put a spin on it
- the rasool (SAW) said there is a fitnaa worse than the dajaal and that is the misguided scholars
Abu Dhar said, "I was with the Prophet (SAW) one day and I heard him saying: "There is
something I fear for my Ummah than the Dajjal." It was then that I became afraid, so I said: " Oh
Rasool Allah! Which thing is that?" He (SAW) said; "Misguided and astray scholars." Recorded in
Musnad Imam Ahmad (no.21,334 and no.21,335)
- you put another dodgy fatwa on Jihaad, that you have to be a scholar to do jihad
- when the kuffaar lied and said they are in Afghanistan to liberate the women, this is a lie
- they oppress women back home at France

And say: "Truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism or this Qur'an or Jihad against polytheists) has come
and Batil (falsehood, i.e. Satan or polytheism, etc.) has vanished. Surely! Batil is ever bound to
vanish." (Al-Isra 17:81)
- you have wahn in your heart that’s why you pass these dodgy fatwas about Jihaad
- at the battle of Hunain the Muslims were the majority
- people took their Shahadah and went to the battlefield
Truly Allah has given you victory on many battle fields, and on the Day of Hunain (battle) when
you rejoiced at your great number but it availed you naught and the earth, vast as it is, was
straitened for you, then you turned back in flight. (At-Tawbah 9:25)
- he the prophet (SAW) didn’t say to them, you have to learn and become a scholar then fight
- that’s why you should study Seerah, people have a dodgy Aqeedah because they don’t study Seerah
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: When the Prophet sent Muadh to Yemen, he said to him, "You are going to
a nation from the people of the Scripture, so let the first thing to which you will invite them, be the
Tauhid of Allah. If they learn that, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them, five prayers to be
offered in one day and one night. And if they pray, tell them that Allah has enjoined on them Zakat
of their properties and it is to be taken from the rich among them and given to the poor. And if
they agree to that, then take from them Zakat but avoid the best property of the people." [Sahih
Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #469]
- that’s why they don’t know that in Makkah the prophet (SAW) called to Tawheed
- didn’t sheikh say you are NOT allowed to call for Shariah in darl harb
Three Muslim men convicted over gay hate leaflets:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jan/20/three-Muslims-convicted-gay-hate-leaflets
- they will arrest you if you say kill the homosexuals, in Europe they protect the homosexuals a lot
- majority of the kaafirs in Europe are atheists, they don’t believe in God
- so give them Tawheed not Shariah
- when a baby is born you feed them breast milk not bread
- when they believe in Allah, then invite them to the laws of Allah, step by step
- to be brave is one ingredient to be a Muslim, don’t be a coward
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) said: One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any desire
(or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite. [Sahih Muslim, Book 20, Hadith #4696]
- if you do not want to eradicate the isms and schisms of the Taghoot
- then that means you agree with them
And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others
besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world[]].
But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they
do. (Al-Anfal 8:39)
- the fitna in the ayah refers to shirk, this ayah abrogates the verse in Surah Kaafiroon
"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism)." (Al-Kafirun 109:6)
Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have
passed, then kill the Mushrikûn (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and
besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform As-
Salat (Iqamat-as- Salat), and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving,
Most Merciful. (At-Tawbah 9:5)
- the Russians blew up a hotel and blamed it on Muslims, so that they can go in Chechnya
- to kill Muslims and steal their resources
- one of their agents Alexandra Litvinenko, wrote a book exposing them called Blowing up Russia
- they panicked that this man would expose them, Alexander took his Shahadah and was a Muslim
- he was killed by the Russians, they pensioned him in London
- he most probably didn’t know the hadith that says that you shouldn’t eat with the kuffaar
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say,
“Do not keep company with anyone but a believer and do not let anyone eat your food but one
who is pious.” [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2395; Abu Dawood, 4832. Abu ‘Eesa al-Tirmidhi said: this
hadeeth is hasan]
- now look at what happened to the man who ordered the killing
- the Russians don’t want him, this is the white revolution
- why is it that people are rebelling around him because you plot and Allah plans
And they (disbelievers) plotted [to kill 'Iesa (Jesus)], and Allah planned too. And Allah is the Best
of the planners. (Aali Imran 3:54)
- you planted your own bombs to kills Muslims and now the people know that you are a human devil
- when a person knows that you need him, he become a Fitnaa for you
- that’s why women are Fitnaa for men
“I have not left behind me any fitnah (temptation) more harmful to men than women.” [Narrated by
al-Bukhaari, 5096; Muslim, 2740]
- this should be the last segment of this topic:- The Muslim Character
RECAP:
- One of the ingredients for you to have
- a Muslim character is you should be brave, women like brave men, so they can be protected
- whenever a person has wahn in their hearts
- they always put dodgy conditions on Jihad to undermine Jihad e.g. no Jihad without a caliph
- you shouldn’t have love for the dunya and fear for death in your heart (wahn)
- we already exposed Fawzan yesterday, he has said the greatest Jihad is to kill the Mujahideen
Allah says
O you who believe! Take not as (your) Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends,
etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail
to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared
from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you
the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand. (Aali Imran 3:118)
- this is proof that you can’t take people outside of your religion as advisors
- Al wala wal bara – to love and hate for the sake of Allah
- you need to carry the banner of Jihad unlike that wicked scholars
- do not pass fatawas like the greatest Jihad is to kill the Mujahideen
- do not use democracy to give victory to Islam, that is not the way forward
- it was tried in Algeria, Nigeria and Malaysia, but it didn’t work
NIGERIA - ABIOLA :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moshood_Kashimawo_Olawale_Abiola
- the way forward is Jihad fisabilillah and if you don’t the kuffar will bring it to your doorstep
- just like they did in Afghanistan, when people leave Jihad they become the lowest of the low
“If you deal in usury (riba) and hang onto the tails of cows, being satisfied with cultivation and
ceasing to take part in Jihad, Allah will inflict a humiliation upon you which will not be removed
until you return to your religion.” [Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud and graded as authentic
by Al-Qattan. Al-Hafiz states in Al-Bulugh that the chain of narrators is trustworthy and reliable]
It was narrated from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) passed by an
Ansaari man who was exhorting his brother to be modest. The Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said:
“Let him be, for modesty is part of faith.” [al-Bukhaari (24) and Muslim (36)]
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Faith has
over seventy branches or over sixty branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that
there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the, removal of what is injurious from the
path: and modesty is the branch of faith." [al-Bukhari (8) and Muslim (56)]
- men and men are not allowed to shower in front of each other
- there is no morals like the Islamic morals, shyness is a part of our culture
Narrated By Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah: I said: Apostle of Allah, from whom should we conceal our
private parts and to whom can we show? He replied: conceal your private parts except from your
wife and from whom your right hands possess (slave-girls)... [Abu Dawud 4006, Tirmidhi 2803,
Ahmed 20054]
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) was more modest than the virgin behind
the curtain (or in the apartment), and when he disliked anything, we recognised that from his face.
[al-Bukhari (6102) and Muslim (5739)]
Narrated By Abu Mas'ud: The Prophet said, 'One of the sayings of the early Prophets which the
people have got is: If you don't feel ashamed do whatever you like." (See Hadith No 690, 691, Vol
4) [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 73, Hadith #141]
- why don’t you take on a girlfriend, do drugs, go to casinos, if you feel no shame?
- a Muslim is supposed to feel ashamed of certain things
- for you to feel ashamed of evil deeds, it is a branch of eemaan
“…and modesty is the branch of faith." [al-Bukhari (8) and Muslim (56)]
- if you brag about your sins, of your haraam, you have no eemaan
- if you do haraam in secret and didn’t tell anybody, this is better for you
- but if you brag about it, you are inviting to it
- to be a sincere Muslim, you need be feel ashamed, you have to be shy
Narrated By Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying. "All the sins of my followers will be
forgiven except those of the Mujahirin (those who commit a sin openly or disclose their sins to the
people). An example of such disclosure is that a person commits a sin at night and though Allah
screens it from the public, then he comes in the morning, and says, 'O so-and-so, I did such-and-
such (evil) deed yesterday,' though he spent his night screened by his Lord (none knowing about
his sin) and in the morning he removes Allah's screen from himself." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book
73, Hadith #095]
- so a Muslim doesn't do haraam and talk about it because a Muslim has a sense of shame
- but the kaafir brags about things
- such as the money they wasted in Las Vegas or how many prostitutes he slept with etc
- the kaafir likes to announce it to the people
- see 19:6
- many of you think "I did haraam, I am evil", this is how the Khawaarij think
- if you do haraam it doesn’t mean you are evil
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger having said: By Him in Whose Hand is my life, if you were
not to commit sin, Allah would sweep you out of existence and He would replace (you by) those
people who would commit sin and seek forgiveness from Allah, and He would have pardoned
them. (Sahih Muslim, Book 037, Number 6622)
Narrated By 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud the Prophet (SAW) saying: "A believer sees his sins as if he
were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person
considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this." Abu
Shihab (the sub-narrator) moved his hand over his nose in illustration. [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book
75, Hadith #320]
- if you are saying your sin is halaal, then you are evil and have now become a kaafir
- a woman should be shy and is not allowed to raise her voice
- a good woman doesn’t speak with a soft and dainty voice, she speaks with dignity and respect
- so that men with diseases in their hearts won’t molest her
- see 31:19 Allah says
He brings out the living from the dead, and brings out the dead from the living. And He revives the
earth after its death. And thus shall you be brought out (resurrected). (Ar-Rum 30:19)
- Allah created the voice of the donkey and despises the voice of the donkey
- A good woman speaks with a soft voice and not a loud, these women are seeking attention
- no woman is allowed to leave the house without Hijab and Jilbab
- Allah curses the one who wears a belt, you can wear it under the Jilbab (the belt)
- A woman isn’t allowed to dress in skimpy clothes
- your Jilbab can’t have elastic on your hips
- the Jilbab has to reach your ankle
- and your jilbab can’t be see-through
- it cannot be loud colors (i.e. pink, red etc), it should be dark
- these are not proper Jilbab colors (bright) red , pink , orange are not proper Jilbab colours
- the kuffaar knows that the Muslims are shy, so they like to strip them naked
- the story of prophet Ibrahim and Nimrod (dumped him in the fire, stripped him naked)
- we are the only civilized people in the world, everyone else is uncivilized
"What the Muslims see as good is good in the sight of Allah and what they see as bad is bad in
the sight of Allah." [Ahmad]
-if the kuffaar were civilized, why do they have a racist society? why do they urinate on the dead?
-you the Muslims are the only civilized people in the world
-see 3:110
You [true believers in Islamic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW and his
Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf
(i.e. Islamic Monotheism and all that Islam has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism,
disbelief and all that Islam has forbidden), and you believe in Allah… (Aali Imran 3:110)

Certainly! Allah will admit those who believe (in the Oneness of Allah Islamic Monotheism) and do
righteous good deeds, to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), while those who disbelieve
enjoy themselves and eat as cattle eat, and the Fire will be their abode. (Muhammad 47:12)
- these kufaar are far from being civilized, there lifestyle is so evil, even the Shaitan is shy about it!
- their lifestyle is satanic
'Aisha reported: Allah's Messenger (SAW) said: "Should I not show modesty to one whom even
the Angels show modesty (Uthman)." [Sahih Muslim, Book 31, Hadith #5906]
O you who believe! Ask not about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But
if you ask about them while the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you. Allah has
forgiven that, and Allah is Oft¬Forgiving, Most Forbearing. (Al-Ma'idah 5:101)
- it is haram to expose the virginity of your wife, if you don’t find her to be a virgin
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (SAW) as saying: The servant (who conceals) the faults of
others in this world, Allah would conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection. [Sahih Muslim,
Book 32, Hadith #6267]
Narrated by Abu Qatadah and Abu Ad-Dahma' who said: We came to a man from the people of the
desert and asked him: Did you hear a Hadith from the Messenger of Allah (SAW)? He said: I heard
him saying: "Whosoever leaves something for the sake of Allah, then Allah the Mighty and
Magnificent, will replace it with something better than it." [Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 5, pg.363, No.
23124]
- it also means the thing is fard but difficult, yet you still do it for the sake of Allah e.g. Jihad
- the story of Yusuf (AS) and his brothers is a very important story about sabr
- also the story of Ibrahim
- Yusuf was given Tamkeen in the land, see 2:153
O you who believe! Seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer). Truly! Allah is with As-Sabirin
(the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:153)
And seek help in patience and As-Salat (the prayer) and truly it is extremely heavy and hard
except for Al-Khashi'ûn [i.e. the true believers in Allah - those who obey Allah with full
submission, fear much from His Punishment, and believe in His Promise (Paradise, etc.) and in
His Warnings (Hell, etc.)]. (Al-Baqarah 2:45)
Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend
one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-
Ma'rûf)which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-
Munkar)which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings,
harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of
Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.). (Al-'Asr 103:3)
- Imam Shaafi said the Surah Wal Asr would have been sufficient
- if it was the only Surah revealed for guidance
- people without sabr are yoyo Muslims, they keep on going backward and forward in Islam
- Allah spoke about them in 22:11
And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge (i.e. in doubt); if
good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face (i.e.
reverts back to disbelief after embracing Islam). He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is
the evident loss. (Al-Hajj 22:11)
- on the day of Judgment Allah will be giving and taking back the light in sirat
- just like how you treated the deen
It Is narrated on the authority of Abdullah b. Mas'ud that the Apostle of Allah (SAW), observed: He
who has in his heart the weight of a mustard seed of pride shall not enter Paradise. A person
(amongst his hearers) said: Verily a person loves that his dress should be fine, and his shoes
should be fine. He (the Holy Prophet) remarked: Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace. Pride
is disdaining the truth (out of self-conceit) and contempt for the people. [Sahih Muslim, Book 1,
Hadith #0164]
And indeed, We gave Mûsa (Moses) the Book and followed him up with a succession of
Messengers. And We gave 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him
with Rûh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what
you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some, you disbelieved and some, you killed. (Al-
Baqarah 2:87)
- the Jews knew that Muhammad (SAW) was a prophet, but they rejected him because he was an Arab
Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad or the
Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the truth while
they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad which are written in the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel
(Gospel)]. (Al-Baqarah 2:146)
And indeed, We gave Mûsa (Moses) the Book and followed him up with a succession of
Messengers. And We gave 'Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam (Mary), clear signs and supported him
with Rûh-ul-Qudus [Jibrael (Gabriel)]. Is it that whenever there came to you a Messenger with what
you yourselves desired not, you grew arrogant? Some, you disbelieved and some, you killed. (Al-
Baqarah 2:87)
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "There are three people that Allah
will not speak to on the Day of Rising nor purify nor look at and they will have a painful
punishment: an old adulterer, a lying ruler and a poor person who is arrogant." [Sahih Muslim,
Book 1, Hadith #0195]
- if a prince is proud that can be understood, but how a poor man be proud?
Ibn Al-Qayyim, Rahimahullaah, said: “And the Dayyouth is the most vile of Allah’s creation, and
Jannah is forbidden for him, (because of his lack of Ghayrah - jealousy). The foundation of the
Religion is Ghayrah, and the one without Ghayrah is one without Religion, for Ghayrah protects
the heart and enlivens the limbs, and shields one from evil and lewdness, and lack of Ghayrah
kills the heart so that the limbs die, so that there remains not even shielding from [the minor
things]. And the example of Ghayrah in the heart is the example of the strength that shields one
from sickness and fights it off, so if the strength leaves, he will be faced with the sickness, and
will not find any thing to protect himself from it, so it will establish itself [within him] and destroy
him.” [Ad-Daa’ Wad-Dawaa’, p.77]
- do not permit your daughter to have a boyfriend, else you will not enter paradise
- you are only supposed to be jealous of your wife, but also all the females of your family
AI-Mughira b. Shu'ba (RA) reported that Sa'd b. 'Ubada (RA) said: If I were to see a man with my
wife, I would have struck him with the sword, and not with the flat part (side) of it. When Allah's
Messenger (PBUH) heard of that, he said: Are you surprised at Sa'd's jealousy of his honour? By
Allah, I am more jealous of my honour than he, and Allah is more jealous than I. Because of His
jealousy Allah has prohibited abomination, both open and secret And no person is more jealous
of his honour than Allah, and no persons, is more fond of accepting an excuse than Allah on
account of which He has sent messengers, announcers of glad tidings and warners; and no one is
more fond of praise than Allah on account of which Allah has promised Paradise. [Sahih Muslim,
Book 9, Hadith #3572]
- a Muslim woman is not allowed to flirt with men to test her husband's jealousy
- you are supposed to be dignified
O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and
hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily,
Allah is Well¬Acquainted with what you do. (Al-Ma'idah 5:8)
O you who believe! You are forbidden to inherit women against their will… (An-Nisa 4:19)
It was narrated from 'Aishah: "A girl came to her and said: 'My father married me to his brother's
son so that he might raise his own status thereby, and I was unwilling.' She said: 'Sit here until the
Prophet (SAW) comes.' Then the Messenger of Allah (SAW) came, and I told him (what she had
said). He sent word to her father, calling him, and he left the matter up to her. She said: 'O
Messenger of Allah, I accept what my father did, but I wanted to know whether women have any
say in the matter."' [Sunan An-Nasai (Arabic/English), Vol 4, p.124-125, Hadith #3271]
- you are complaining about the rulers, but are you just at home?
- Allah made oppression, lies, breaking a promise etc haraam on Himself
...“Oh, my servants! I have made oppression haraam (forbidden) upon myself, and also between
you. So do not oppress each other...." [Sahih Muslim, Hadith #6246]
Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope (2:286)
Abu Hurayrah (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger said, "Three prayers are surely answered: the
supplication of the oppressed, the supplication of the traveller, and the supplication of the father
for his son." [Abu Dawud 1536, Ibn Majah 3862, Ahmed 7513, Tirmidhi 3448]
Narrated By Ibn Abbas: The Prophet sent Mu'adh to Yemen and said, "Fear the supplication of the
oppressed, for there is no barrier between it and Allah." [al-Bukhari (1395) and Muslim (19)]
- many men in darul harb marry sisters, but don’t pay their dowry, that is another form of oppression
- people with no Taqwa always target the weak to oppress them
Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: “Beware of envy! Indeed the envy eats
up good deeds like the fire eats up wood” (Abu Dawud 4903 and Ibn Majah 4210)
- he envied Adam (AS) and refused to bow down to him because Allah chose Adam to be Khalifah
-if you believe in Qadr you don’t have envy
- but when your eemaan and Taqwa is weak, then you become envious
- everything in this world is cursed, so how can you be envious?
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, “"The world, with all that it
contains, is accursed except for dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) that which pleases Allah; and
the religious scholars and seekers of knowledge.'' [Tirmidhi 2322 and Ibn e Majah 4112, (Abu Eesa
al-Tirmidhi said: this hadeeth is hasan ghareeb)]
Sahi Ibn Sa’d (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “If in Allah’s sight , the world had
so much worth as wing of mosquito then a infidel would never have drunk even a drop of water.”
[Tirmidhi 2320 and Ibn e Majah 4110]
"Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: (1) A man whom Allah has given wealth and
he spends it righteously. (2) A man whom Allah has given wisdom (knowledge of the Qur'an and
the Hadith) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others." [al-Bukhari (7529) and Muslim
(815)]
Narrated By Abu Aiyub Al-Ansari: Allah's Apostle said, "It is not lawful for a man to desert his
brother Muslim for more than three nights. (It is unlawful for them that) when they meet, one of
them turns his face away from the other, and the other turns his face from the former, and the
better of the two will be the one who greets the other first." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 73, Hadith
#100]
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA), who said that the Messenger of ALLAH (SAW) said: "The
gates of Paradise will be opened on Mondays and on Thursdays, and every servant [of ALLAH]
who associates nothing with ALLAH will be forgiven, except for the man who has a grudge
against his brother. [About them] it will be said: 'Delay these two until they are reconciled; delay
these two until they are reconciled.'" [Muslim (also by Malik and Abu Dawud)]
Narrated By Abu Khirash as-Sulami: Abu Khirash heard the Apostle of Allah (SAW) say: "If one
keeps apart from his brother for a year, it is like shedding his blood." [Abu Dawud, Book 36,
Hadith #4897]
- so you are not allowed to carry grudges, sort out your problems with your brothers
- this Hadith does not apply for munafiqs
- you can boycott them for 10 years, they are fake
- Allah ask us to be harsh with them
O Prophet (Muhammad SAW)! Strive hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites, and be
harsh against them, their abode is Hell, - and worst indeed is that destination. (At-Tawbah 9:73)
O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are better than
the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter are better than the
former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. How bad is it, to insult
one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a faithful believer) as: "O sinner",
or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then such are indeed Zalimûn (wrong-doers,
etc.). (Al-Hujurat 49:11)
And that man can have nothing but what he does (good or bad), (An-Najm 53:39)
Hamza, son of 'Abdullah, reported on the authority of his father that the Apostle of Allah (SAW)
said: "When a man is always begging from people, he would meet Allah (in a state) that there
would be no flesh on his face." [Sahih Muslim, Book 5, Hadith #2263]
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (RA) said: The Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said: “For one of you
to chop wood and carry it on his back is better for him than asking (begging) from anyone who
will either give him something or refuse to give him anything.” [al-Bukhari (1968) and Muslim
(1042)]
20TH TRAIT: TAQWA
- Taqwa is to put between yourself and the wrath of Allah a barrier
- by doing what is fard and by abstaining from what is haraam
- see 2:197
And whatever good you do, (be sure) Allah knows it. And take a provision (with you) for the
journey, but the best provision is At-Taqwa (piety, righteousness, etc.). So fear Me, O men of
understanding! (Al-Baqarah 2:197)
- Jihad, hajj, marriage are all journeys, the best provision you need on these is Taqwa
O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion [(to judge
between right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)],
and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty.
(Al-Anfal 8:29)
- because when you have Taqwa you get the Furqaan (criterion)
- to judge between the good from the bad, the pure from the corrupt, the truth and the false
The life of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) has been said by his wife,
Aisha (RA) to be like "a walking Qur’an", embodying the Laws of Almighty Allah (subhaana wa
taalah).
And verily, you (O Muhammad SAW) are on an exalted standard of character. (Al-Qalam 68:4)
- Allah told us that mankind is diverse with his aims and objectives.
- If people are on the bus, train or tube, they will be going in many different directions.
Allah Said:
- Allah swears by the night, when it becomes dark and Allah swears by the Day,
- when it brightens, that He created MAN and WOMEN and they have different aims and objectives
Allah Said:
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, my Salah (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying
are for Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamīn (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Al-An'am 6:162)
And proclaim the Grace of your Lord (i.e. the Prophethood and all other Graces). (Ad-Duha
93:11)
- The first sahaba to enter paradise will be Abu Bakr al Siddiq, he wasn't poor.
- Uthman Ibn Affan is one of the 10 promised paradise;
- he wasn't poor (and Abdu Rahman ibn Auf)
Allah said:
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter,
and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world, and do good as Allah has been
good to you, and seek not mischief in the land. Verily, Allah likes not the Mufsidûn (those
who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, corrupts). (Al-
Qasas 28:77)
Allah Said:
Those who eat Ribā (usury) will not stand (on the Day of Resurrection) except like the
standing of a person beaten by Shaitān (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they
say: "Trading is only like Ribā (usury)," whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden
Ribā (usury). So whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Ribā
(usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but whoever
returns [to Ribā (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire - they will abide therein. (Al-
Baqarah 2:275)
Seek the Dunya but be kind to others and use the wealth wisely
- Don’t use your wealth to spread mischief in the land like the Kuffar do
- So Allah did not discourage you from becoming wealthy.
- Allah has blessed trading and cursed Riba
- However if you become wealthy and you stop paying attention to your deen.
- Because some people when they become wealthy think they have become independent of Allah
Allah Said:
Indeed in the Messenger of Allah (Muhammad SAW) you have a good example to follow for
him who hopes in (the Meeting with) Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah much. (Al-
Ahzab 33:21)
- The reason we need to turn the pages of History is because in the Messenger of Allah we have the best
example to follow
- The Muslims suffered from the treachery and plotting of the Jews
- Three Jewish tribes were in Madinah, they all signed peace treaties with Muhammad;
- they broke them one by one.
- They were kicked out of Madinah and went to Khaibar to set up a Jewish Headquarters
- They used Khaibar to plot and plan against Muhammad;
- For seven years the Rasool suffered from the treachery of the Jews
- and they even tried to assassinate him
- The Rasool (saws) marched against Khaibar and as he gave the flag to Ali Ibn Abi Talib
- he told him to enter their fortresses and invite them to Islam
Narrated By Sahl: On the day (of the battle) of Khaibar the Prophet said, "Tomorrow I will
give the flag to somebody who will be given victory (by Allah) and who loves Allah and His
Apostle and is loved by Allah and His Apostle." So, the people wondered all that night as to
who would receive the flag and in the morning everyone hoped that he would be that
person.Allah's Apostle asked, "Where is 'Ali?" He was told that 'Ali was suffering from eye-
trouble, so he applied saliva to his eyes and invoked Allah to cure him. He at once got cured
as if he had no ailment. The Prophet gave him the flag. 'Ali said, "Should I fight them till they
become like us (i.e. Muslim)?" The Prophet said, "Go to them patiently and calmly till you
enter the land. Then, invite them to Islam, and inform them what is enjoined upon them, for,
by Allah, if Allah gives guidance to somebody through you, it is better for you than
possessing red camels." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, Hadith #253]
- Even though for seven years they were plotting and planning against the prophet.
- He still wanted them to come to Islam.
It’s better for you to guide one man to Islam then to possess one hundred red camels
- She asked him: Is there a day in your life which was worse for you than the day of Uhud?
- She asked this first because she was there.
...(On that day) I saw 'Aisha, the daughter of Abu Bakr and Um Sulaim both lifting their
dresses up so that I was able to see the ornaments of their legs, and they were carrying the
water skins of their arms to pour the water into the mouths of the thirsty people and then go
back and fill them and come to pour the water into the mouths of the people again. (On that
day) Abu Talha's sword fell from his hand twice or thrice. [Sahih Bukhari (5/37) No. 3811]
- She asked: is it the day when Quraish put the rotten intestine of a sheep on your back when you went
to pray at the Kaaba?
- Is it the day when your beloved uncle Hamza was killed and they mutilated his body?
- Is it the day when you lost one of your teeth?
- Is it the Day when the body of your uncle Hamza was mutilated by the Kuffar?
- Is it the day of Ahzaab?
- Aisha kept asking the Messenger of Allah (saws) about different occasions in his life
- when Qureysh gathered 10,000 men to fight you?
- which day was the worst day of your life?
- The Prophet (saws) said to Aisha that none of these were the worst day
- He said: The worst day in my life was when Quraysh rejected my message in Makkah,
- And I went to Ta'if to invite them to Islam and they stoned me until my shoes were filled
with blood
Narrated By 'Aisha: That she asked the Prophet , 'Have you encountered a day harder than
the day of the battle) of Uhud?" The Prophet replied, "Your tribes have troubled me a lot,
and the worse trouble was the trouble on the day of 'Aqaba when I presented myself to Ibn
'Abd-Yalail bin 'Abd-Kulal and he did not respond to my demand. So I departed,
overwhelmed with excessive sorrow, and proceeded on, and could not relax till I found
myself at Qarnath-Tha-alib where I lifted my head towards the sky to see a cloud shading
me unexpectedly. I looked up and saw Gabriel in it. He called me saying, 'Allah has heard
your people's saying to you, and what they have replied back to you, Allah has sent the
Angel of the Mountains to you so that you may order him to do whatever you wish to these
people.' The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad!
Order what you wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them."
The Prophet said, "No but I hope that Allah will let them beget children who will worship
Allah Alone, and will worship None besides Him." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 54, Hadith
454]
It is related that when Abu Talib died, the Prophet (SAW) went out on foot to Ta’if to call its
people to Islam. They rejected his call, and he walked away until he got to the shade of a
tree. So, he prayed two rak’at and said: “O Allah, I complain to You of my weakness and my
insignificance in the eyes of the people. You are the most Merciful. No matter who You have
put me at the mercy of – an enemy who will be stern with me, or a friend to look after my
affairs – as long as You are not Angry with me, then I don’t care. However, the relief You
bring would be more comfortable for me. I seek refuge with Your Face – for which the
darkness has lit up, and the affairs of this world and the next are organized – from being
afflicted with Your Wrath or deserving of Your Anger. You have the right to admonish as You
please, and there is no might nor power except by Allah.” [related by al-Haythami in ‘Majma’
az-Zawa’id’ (Vol.6, pg.37) No. 9851, and he mentioned in it that at-Tabarani related it in ‘al-
Mu’jam al-Kabir’ on the authority of ‘Abdullah bin Ja’far bin Abi Talib, and that its chain of
narration contains Ibn Ishaq, who is a trustworthy mudallis, with the rest of the narrators in
its chain being trustworthy.]
- And when I went to Taif to invite them to Islam and instead of embracing Islam they
stoned me until my shoes were filled with blood..
"O Allah to you I complain my weakness" "and my lowness in front of these people" "you are
the Lord of the weak and oppressed (mustadafeed); will you put this matter in the hands of
my enemy? To a person who is far removed from me, who will hold me in contempt? or will
you put this matter in the hands of my enemy? Oh Allah if you are not angry with me, I do
not mind.
- When the Rasool (saws) made this Dua, Allah answered his Dua immediately
- The angel Gabriel descended with another angel.
- The angels asked the Messenger to order them to collapse the mountains on the people of
Taif
...The Angel of the Mountains called and greeted me, and then said, "O Muhammad! Order
what you wish. If you like, I will let Al-Akh-Shabain (i.e. two mountains) fall on them." The
Prophet said, "No but I hope that Allah will let them beget children who will worship Allah
Alone, and will worship None besides Him." [al-Bukhari (3231) and Muslim (1795)]
Allah Said:
And We have sent you (O Muhammad SAW) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamīn (mankind,
jinns and all that exists). (Al-Anbiya 21:107)
- Also the Messenger (saws) was a shield, who was shielding the people from the wrath of Allah and the
punishment of Allah
- So Allah wouldn't destroy the people while Muhammad was alive.
- Abu Jahl asked Allah to rain down stones on the people if what Muhammad brought is the truth.
And (remember) when they said: "O Allah! If this (the Qur’an) is indeed the truth (revealed)
from You, then rain down stones on us from the sky or bring on us a painful torment." (Al-
Anfal 8:32)
And Allah would not punish them while you (Muhammad SAW) are amongst them, nor will
He punish them while they seek (Allah’s) Forgiveness. (Al-Anfal 8:33)
- This Jewish boy was on his death bed and when the Prophet heard he rushed to his death bed
- The Rasool (saws) rushed to his death bed to make the boy take the Shahadah
- The boy looked at his father, then the prophet, and kept looking back and forth.
- The boy's father said: - "Obey Abul Qasim"
- The boy took shahadah.
- The boy died a few minutes later as a Muslim
- This boy didn't make 1 rakah of salah, much less to fast, pay zakah, umrah, hajj, jihad...
Allah Said:
And whoever seeks a religion other than Islām, it will never be accepted of him, and in the
Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (Aali Imran 3:85)
Narrated By Anas: A young Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet and he became sick. So the
Prophet went to visit him. He sat near his head and asked him to embrace Islam. The boy
looked at his father, who was sitting there; the latter told him to obey Abu-l-Qasim and the
boy embraced Islam. The Prophet came out saying: "Praises be to Allah Who saved the boy
from the Hell-fire." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 2, Book 23, Hadith #438]
The Prophet came out saying: "Praises be to Allah Who saved the boy from the Hell-fire."
- The Prophet (saws) was filled with such zeal and enthusiasm to give Shahadah to every Kafir before
they die.
And most of mankind will not believe even if you desire it eagerly. (Yusuf 12:103)
- The Prophet (saws) aim and objective was to give Shahadah to every KAFIR
Those to whom We gave the Scripture (Jews and Christians) recognise him (Muhammad or
the Ka'bah at Makkah) as they recongise their sons. But verily, a party of them conceal the
truth while they know it - [i.e. the qualities of Muhammad which are written in the Taurāt
(Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)]. (Al-Baqarah 2:146)
This story is amazing, even though the father was a kaafir, he said "Obey Abul Qasim".
- Because the Jew knew the Prophet:
- This is because the Jews recognised Muhammad from their scriptures,
- Allah described Muhammad (saws) in their scriptures vividly without any discrepancies
- They refused to take shahada, because of pride.
- It is the madhab of Iblees: Pride!
- The Jews follow the Madhab of Iblis
Story No. 4 Umm Ammaara (did jihad when she was in her 60s)
Damrah bin Saeed from his father narrated that some woollen shawls were once brought to
Umar Ibn al-Khattab. Amongst them was a very large one of excellent quality. Some people
indicated that it was of great value and should be sent to Safiyya bint Ubayd who was
recently married to Umar's son Abdullah. However, Umar said, "I shall send it to someone
who is more deserving to it, namely Ummu Ammaara Nusayba bint Ka'b about whom I heard
the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, 'Whether it was to the right or to the left, in whichever
direction I turned I saw her fighting in my defence."' [Maghazi al-Waqidi (1/271), al-
Tabaqaat al-Kubra Ibn Sa’d (8/415), Kanz al-Ummal (13/625-626) No. 37592]
- Did you know she saved the life of the Prophet at the Battle of UHUD
- But if we ask you about the players of xyz football team you can tell us.
- Most people did not know that Umm Ammara was 60 years old
- and fighting on the battle field with a sword
- She lost one of her arms at the battle of Yamaama
- Most of you do not know the story of the Sahabas
- Can you tell us the names of the 10 promised paradise?
- If not, your aim is dunya, dunya, dunya.
- Do you know about Umm Harram (Umm Amaara) who went for Jihad on a ship,
- and Muawiya established the Navy
- The Prophet (saws) woke up smiling, because his Ummah was going to take over the Seas
- Your aim and objective should be Islam, Not the dunya.
Allah Said:
(The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, ('Abasa 80:1)
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullāh bin Umm-Maktûm, who came to the
Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
('Abasa 80:2)
- JIHAD is the sixth pillar of Islam, but is not obligatory on the lame
No blame or sin is there upon the blind, nor is there blame or sin upon the lame, nor is there
blame or sin upon the sick (that they go not forth to war). And whosoever obeys Allah and
His Messenger (Muhammad SAW), He will admit him to Gardens beneath which rivers flow
(Paradise); and whosoever turns back, He will punish him with a painful torment. (Al-Fath
48:17)
You will think that a blind man would stay away from jihad, because Allah exempted him.
- However Abdullah Ibn Umm Maktoom: would go for JIHAD
- His understanding on the ayah is that Jihad is not fardh, but if he wants to go he can go.
- For example Jihad is not compulsory on a women but if she wants to go she can go
- Abdullah Ibn Umm Maktoom, carried the flag for the Muslims on the battlefield.
- He wanted to free up the Sahaba so they can kill the Kuffar
- The Muslims today worship their bellies and their private parts and put dodgy conditions on Jihad
- The hypocrites say: ‘No Jihad without a caliph’
- Have your heard about the Battle of Ain Jaloot ? Do you know when it took place ?
They put in the letter that Egypt was the last country left for us to destroy.
- The Muslims did not surrender, instead they chopped off the heads of the Kuffar and rallied the masses
for Jihad
- They didn't stay in Egypt, they took the battle to the Tatars.
- The Battle field was Ain Jaloot in Palestine
This was the first time in the history of the Tartars, that they lost a battle
- they got a taste of their own medicine.
- after this they embraced Islam.
- Their Aim and Objective is not to LIBERATE THE MUSLIM LANDS, but to fill their bellies
- The Prophet (saws) made a public announcement that he was going to take on the
Romans.
- Shahabas joined all the way from Yemen because they wanted to fight the Romans
- People came to Madinah in multitudes, to join the prophet, it was a great honour for them
- When some of them arrived in Madinah,
- The Prophet said to them, "I have run out of horses and camels to take you to the front line".
- They went home, and cried, this was their sincerity.
Nor (is there blame) on those who came to you to be provided with mounts, and when you
said: "I can find no mounts for you," they turned back, while their eyes overflowing with
tears of grief that they could not find anything to spend (for Jihad). (At-Tawbah 9:92)
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:
"A Kaafir and one who killed him will never be together in the Fire." [Sahih Muslim (3/1505)
No. 1891 and Musnad Ahmad (2/397) No. 9152]
- Even a woman is allowed to go out for Jihad if the Amir gives her permission
- Jihad is very exciting, even women are fighting jihad now.
- The aim and objective of the sahabas was to spread Islam.
STORY NO. 8 – YUSUF (as)
Yusuf was given half the beauty of creation and was sexually harassed by Zulaikha
- He was given half the beauty of the creation, when Zulaikha saw he she couldn't control herself.
- When the news spread about their incident, she gathered her friends in her house
- She said: If you don't go to bed with us, we will dump you in prison,
- She had power because her husband was the finance minister.
- Yusuf (as)- his aim and objective was Dawah.. so He said: "O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than
that to which they invite me.
- Zina would kill the Dawah, so Yusuf (a.s) chose Dawah instead and went to prison
He said: "O my Lord! Prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. Unless
You turn away their plot from me, I will feel inclined towards them and be one (of those who
commit sin and deserve blame or those who do deeds) of the ignorants." (Yusuf 12:33)
A 2007 report by the Rand Corp., a U.S. think tank, advised Western governments to "harness" Sufism,
saying its adherents were "natural allies of the West." Read more:

"O two companions of the prison! Are many different lords (gods) better or Allah, the One,
the Irresistible? (Yusuf 12:39)
"You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named (forged), you and
your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command (or the judgement)
is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him (i.e. His
Monotheism), that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not. (Yusuf 12:40)
Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (SAW) said, “The world, with all that it
contains, is accursed except for dhikr (the remembrance of Allah) that which pleases Allah;
and the religious scholars and seekers of knowledge.'' [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/561) 2322 and
Sunan Ibn Majah (5/231) 4112, (Abu Eesa al-Tirmidhi said: this hadeeth is hasan ghareeb)]
The reason the Prophet said "I love you" was for him to realise that
-he was sending him because of his knowledge and taqwa.
- When Abu Bakr was Caliph, some people refused to pay Zakah
- Abu Bakr held Shura meeting, and said we have to kill them, they have left a pillar of Islam.
- Omar asked how he could fight them when they had taken the Shahadah
- Abu Bakr said he would fight them by himself.
- The shura then agreed to fight them.
- Omar said nothing happened that day expect Allah opened Abu Bakr heart to see the truth
Those who would not pay Zakah were denying that which is known by necessity.
- If you deny one pillar of eeman, you deny all of the pillars
- Some cows give a bucket of milk and then they kick it over.
- Some of you say the shahada and then nullify the shahadah
- by committing a major Kufr
It was narrated that Aslam the freed slave of 'Umar (RA) said: "'Umar went out to Harrat
Waqim, and I went with him. When we were in Sarar, we saw a fire burning. He said, 'O'
Aslam, I see here some travelers who are being held up by the night and the cold; let's go.'
So we went running and when we came near to them, we saw a woman with children. There
was a pot set up over the fire, and her children were crying. 'Umar said, 'Peace be upon you,
O' people of the light (he did not want to say, O' people of the fire).' She said, 'And upon you
be peace.' He said, 'May I come closer?' She said, 'Come if you can do some good, otherwise
leave us alone.' He came closer and said, 'What is the matter with you?' She said, 'The night
and the cold held us up.' He said, 'What is the matter with these children; why are they
crying?' She said, 'They are hungry.' He said, 'What is in this pot?' She said, 'Water, to calm
them down until they go to sleep, and Allah will judge between us and 'Umar.' He said, 'May
Allah have mercy on you, how could 'Umar know about you?' She said, 'How come he is in
charge of our affairs, but he is not aware of our situation?' He turned to me and said, 'Let's
go.' So we set off running until we came to the room where wheat was stored. He took out a
sack of wheat and a little fat, and said, 'Hoist it up onto me.' I said, 'I will carry it for you.' He
said, 'Will you carry my burden for me on the Day of Resurrection, may you be bereft of your
mother?' So I hoisted it up onto him and he set out running and I ran with him. When he
reached her, he put those things down. He took out some of the wheat and said to her,
'Prepare it for me and I will cook it for you.' He started blowing beneath the pot and I saw
the smoke coming out through his beard. He cooked it for her, and brought it to her, and
said, 'Bring me something.' So she brought him a vessel and he poured it into it, then said,
'Feed them and I will spread it out (to cool down) for them.' He stayed until they had eaten
their fill, and he left the leftover food with her. He got up, and I got up with him, and she
started to say, 'May Allah reward you with good; you are more suited to be the caliph than
Ameer al-Mu'mineen.' He said, 'Say something good, and if you go to the Ameer al-
Mu'mineen, you will find me there insha'Allah - Allah willing." Then he walked some distance
away from her, then turned to face them again and waited a while. I said to him, 'Is there
anything else?' but he did not answer me, until I saw the boys wrestling then falling asleep,
having calmed down. Then he stood up and said, 'Praise be to Allah, the Exalted, the
Almighty.' Then he turned to me and said, 'O' Aslam, hunger kept them awake and made
them cry; I did not want to leave until I saw what I saw.'"[Related by Ibn Atheer in al-Kamil
fi at-Tareekh (2/434), at-Tabari in at-Tareekh (4/205-206) and Ahmad Ibn Hanbal in Fada'il

- the Aim and Objective of Umar (r.a) was to spread Islam
- The Aim and Objectives of the companions of the prophet was always Islam.
STORY 12 - AHMAD IBN HANBAL (born 164 AH – died 241 AH @ age 77)
- When all the other scholars who were afraid of being beaten publicly caved in:
- Ahmad Ibn Hanbal stood up against Ma'moon and did not cave in
- All the four Imams said that the one who believes the Quran is created is a kaafir.
From Alee bin al-Hasan al-Kuraa'ee who said: Abu Yusuf said: I debated Abu Hanifah for six
months, and then our view became united that the one who said the Qur'an is created is a
kaafir. [Adh-Dhahabee brings with a good (jayyid) chain of narration, as occurs in Mukhtasar
al-Uluww (p. 155)]
Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: "When some people asked Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal
that they felt uneasy about criticizing people, he replied:
"If I were to remain silent, how would the ignorant masses know the truth from falsehood?"
Those who introduce heretical writings which oppose the Qur'aan and the Sunnah and those
who innovate in matters of worship, then it is obligatory that they be exposed and that the
Muslims be warned against them - by unanimous agreement of the Muslims Scholars. In
fact, when Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal was asked about a person who fasted, preyed and
secluded himself in the mosque for worship; if he was dearer to him than a person who
spoke out against ahlul-bid'ah (the innovators), he replied:
"When he fasts and prays and secludes himself, then he does so for the benefit of his own
self. However, when he speaks out against the innovators, he does so for the benefit of the
Muslims in general, and this is more virtuous." So it is clear that openly opposing the
innovators is of general benefit to the Muslims and is considered one of the types of jihad in
the path of Allaah. Since purifying the religion of Allaah and defending it from their attacks is
a collective obligation - as is agreed upon by the Scholars. For Allaah did not raise up some
people to oppose the innovators, then the religion would suffer harm, corruption and
deviation. Indeed, this type of corruption is even greater then the corruption resulting from
the disbelievers conquering the Muslims. Since when the disbelievers conquer the Muslims,
they do not corrupt their hearts, nor their religion, except after some time. Whereas the
innovators corrupt the hearts from the very beginning." [Majmoo'ul-Fataawaa (28/231-
232)]

On the authority of Abu Najeeh al-’Irbaad ibn Saariyah (RA) who said: The Messenger of
Allah (SAW) gave us a sermon by which our hearts were filled with fear and tears came to
our eyes. So we said, "O Messenger of Allah! It is as though this is a farewell sermon, so
counsel us." He (SAW) said, "I counsel you to have taqwa (fear) of Allah, and to listen and
obey [your leader], even if a slave were to become your ameer. Verily he among you who
lives long will see great controversy, so you must keep to my Sunnah and to the Sunnah of
the Khulafa ar-Rashideen (the rightly guided caliphs), those who guide to the right way.
Cling to it stubbornly [literally: with your molar teeth]. Beware of newly invented matters [in
the religion], for verily every bidah (innovation) is misguidance." It was related by Abu
Dawud and at-Tirmidhi, who said that it was a good and sound hadith.
One day, the Prophet (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) was in Madina with his sahabah
A funeral procession passed by and they commented
He commented on what they said as stated in following hadith
Anas Ibn Malik narrated, "A funeral procession passed by and they were praising the dead
man. The Prophet (SAW), said, 'It is mandatory.' Then another passed and they were
speaking ill of the dead man. He said, 'It is mandatory.' 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, 'What is
mandatory?' He said, 'You praised this one, and so the Garden is mandatory for him and you
spoke evil of this one, so the Fire is mandatory for him. You are the witnesses of Allah on the
earth.’" [al-Bukhari (1367) and Muslim (949)]
You will also testify against the previous people in the hereafter
The people of Nuh (‘alayhi salatu wa salam) worshipped idols
They were the first to worship idols
They will say no one told them about tawheed
Ibn 'Abbas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said: "Between Noah (Noah) and Adam were ten generations,
all of them were upon Sharee'ah (law) of the truth, and then they differed. So Allah sent
prophets as bringers of good news and as warners." [Related by Ibn Jareer at-Tabaree in his
tafseer (4/275) No. 4048 and al-Haakim (2/596) No. 4009 who said: "It is authentic
according to the criterion of al-Bukhari." Adh-Dhahabe also agreed]
Nuh (‘alayhi salatu wa salam) spent 950 years speaking about tawheed
But they will deny that he called them to tauheed all those years
Ibn Mas'ud (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said, "Whatever the Muslims see as good is good with Allah,
Whatever the Muslims see as bad, Allah sees as bad." [Mustadrak al-Haakim (3/83) No.
4465, classed as Sahih by Adh-Dhahabee]
You are better than the Ummah of Abraham, Musa, Isa, Nuh etc (‘alayhim salatu wa salam)
You [true believers in Islāmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad SAW
and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you
enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām has ordained) and forbid Al-
Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islām has forbidden), and you believe in Allāh.
(Aali Imran 3:110)
The Muslims are the only people that believe in Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) properly
We describe Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) with His 99 Names and Attributes
Because the Jews and Christians give Him attributes that do not befit Him
A Jew said Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is poor, Abu Bakr (radiyallahu ‘anhu) punched him
in the face
(Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said…) [3:181]. ‘Ikrimah, al-Suddi and Muqatil
ibn Ishaq related that, one day, Abu Bakr al-Siddiq entered a Jewish place of study and
found a group of Jewish people gathered around one of them called Finhas ibn ‘Azura, who
was one of their doctors. Abu Bakr said to Finhas: “Fear Allah and embrace Islam, for by
Allah you know well that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah who has brought the truth to
you from Allah. He is mentioned in your Torah; so believe and accept the truth and grant
Allah a goodly offering and He will make you enter the Garden and multiply your reward”.
Finhas responded: “O Abu Bakr, you claim that our Lord is asking us to lend Him our wealth.
Yet, it is only the poor who borrow from the rich. And if what you say is true, it follows that
Allah is poor and we are rich, for if He were rich He would not ask us to lend Him our
wealth”. Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, may Allah be well pleased with him, became very angry and
struck the face of Finhas with a mighty blow. He then said to him: “By Him in whose Hand is
my soul, if it were not for the treaty between us, O enemy of Allah, I would have killed you”.
Finhas went to the Messenger of Allah, Allah bless him and give him peace, and said: “O
Muhammad! Look at what your companion has done to me”. The Messenger of Allah, Allah
bless him and give him peace, asked Abu Bakr: “What has driven you to do what you have
done?” He said: “O Messenger of Allah, this enemy of Allah has said something very serious.
He claimed that Allah is poor and they are rich. I therefore got angry for the sake of Allah
and hit his face”. But Finhas denied that he ever uttered those words, and so Allah, exalted is
He, revealed this verse (Verily Allah heard the saying of those who said…) to give the lie to
Finhas and to confirm that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq said the truth. ‘Abd al-Qahir ibn Tahir informed
us> Abu ‘Amr ibn Matar> Ja‘far ibn al-Layth al-Ziyadi> Hudhayfah Musa ibn Mas‘ud> Shibl>
Ibn Abi Najih> Mujahid who said: “This verse was revealed about the Jews; Abu Bakr, may
Allah be well pleased with him, had struck the face of one of their men who said ‘Allah is
poor and we are rich’ ”. Shibl commented: “I was informed that this man was Finhas the
Jew, and it is also this man who said: (Allah’s hand is fettered) [5:64]”. [Asbab Al-Nuzul by
Al-Wahidi , trans. Mokrane Guezzou]
Indeed, Allāh has heard the statement of those (Jews) who say: "Truly, Allāh is poor and we
are rich!" We shall record what they have said and their killing of the Prophets unjustly, and
We shall say: "Taste you the torment of the burning (Fire)." (Aali Imran 3:181)
The Jews also claim that Allah’s (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) Hands are tied
The Jews say: "Allāh's Hand is tied up (i.e. He does not give and spend of His Bounty)." Be
their hands tied up and be they accursed for what they uttered. Nay, both His Hands are
widely outstretched. He spends (of His Bounty) as He wills. Verily, the Revelation that has
come to you from Allāh increases in most of them their obstinate rebellion and disbelief. We
have put enmity and hatred amongst them till the Day of Resurrection. Every time they
kindled the fire of war, Allāh extinguished it; and they (ever) strive to make mischief on
earth. And Allāh does not like the Mufsidûn (mischiefmakers). (Al-Ma'idah 5:64)
They (Jews, Christians and pagans) say: "Allāh has begotten a son (children)." Glory be to
Him! He is Rich (Free of all wants). His is all that is in the heavens and all that is in the earth.
No warrant you have for this. Do you say against Allāh what you know not. (Yunus 10:68)
The Prophet (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) said to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong
Or you will be like the people in the boat as stated below
Prophet (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) said, “The metaphor of a person who complies with
Allah’s orders and prohibitions in comparison to those who violate them is like the metaphor
of some people who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them were given seats on
the upper deck, and the others on the lower deck. When those on the lower deck needed
water, they would have had to go up to fetch the water, so they said, ‘Let us make a hole in
our part of the ship and save those who are above us from our troubling them.’ If the people
on the upper deck let the others do what they suggested, all the people in the boat would be
destroyed, but if they prevented them, both groups would be safe." Al-Bukhari, 5 / 132; At-
Tirmidhi, 9/19.
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islāmic Monotheism, true followers
of Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation,
that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over
you.. (Al-Baqarah 2:143)
Because you are a balanced nation, you are not an extremist in anything
Therefore, you are in the middle between the Jews and the Christians
The Jews reject Jesus (‘alayhi salatu wa salam) and call him a bastard child
And they say Maryam (‘alayha salam) was a harlot
They also say Jesus (‘alayhi salatu wa salam) was a fake prophet
The Christians say that Jesus (‘alayhi salatu wa salam) was God in flesh
That God manifested Himself in the form Jesus (‘alayhi salatu wa salam)
They worship Jesus as a second God besides Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
A Christian is a pagan because they worship 3 Gods - The father, son and Holy Ghost
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) said:
Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allāh is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] (Al-Ma'idah
5:72)
You are in the middle between the khawaarij and the murji'a
The Khawaarij (puritan) takes away your hope
If you should commit a major sin (drink alcohol or zina)
He makes takfir on you and takes away your hope
He has no mercy
Even though Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) told you not to give up hope
He will forgive EVERY sin even SHIRK as long as
You make taubah before you die
Say: "O 'Ibādī (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil
deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allāh, verily Allāh forgives all sins. Truly, He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)
The only time you can make takfir on a Muslim is if the sin he committed was major kufr
Like spying for the infidels, insult the Prophet (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam)
Or the Quran which is apostasy
However, if a person should die a mushrik he cannot be forgiven on judgement day
Verily, Allāh forgives not that partners should be set up with him in worship, but He forgives
except that (anything else) to whom He pleases, and whoever sets up partners with Allāh in
worship, he has indeed invented a tremendous sin. (An-Nisa 4:48)
This ayah means if you die committing shirk, there is no hope for you.
However, if you make tawbah before you die you can be forgiven
The murji is a happy go lucky Muslim - liberal
But the khawarij is a puritan
He takes away your hope
While the murji gives you all the hope you can think of
One is too unforgiven, and the other is too forgiven
The spiritualist spends all his time in the masjid, reading Quran, fasting, praying
But will never work to feed his wife and children
He comes to the Masjid on a Friday and begs
If you ask him to work, he says he will never work for the kuffaar
Anas (RA) narrated: When Abdul Rahman ibn Awf (RA) came to Madinah, Allah’s Messenger
(SAW) established fraternal ties between him and Sa’d ibn Rabi.’ He said to him, “Come, I
will apportion to you my wealth, half of it. And, I have two wives, so I will divorce one of
them and when she completes her waiting period, you may marry her. But, he said, ‘May
Allah bless you in your family and your wealth. Guide me to the market.” So, he led him to
the market... [Bukhari 2048, Tirmidhi 1940]
As for the spiritualist, didn't Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) tell you to have fun?
But seek, with that (wealth) which Allāh has bestowed on you, the home of the Hereafter,
and forget not your portion of legal enjoyment in this world (Al-Qasas 28:77)
So for you to be in the masjid every day is unIslamic because Allah says to have fun.
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) doesn't want you to be boring
Many of you are very boring like the Buddhist and catholic monks
Even though they have fun in secret
If the spiritualist has lost the middle path by spending all his time in the masjid
The materialist lost it by spending all his time at work
He also lost the middle path
He spends all his time making money until he misses 50+ jummuah
Because of loving the dunya so much
He will prefer to take Thursday off and work on Fridays
Because he ‘makes more money’ on Fridays
Abu Al-Ja’d Ad-Damri – who was one of the companions – narrated that Allah’s Messenger
(PBUH) said, “Whoever leaves three Friday prayers, considering it insignificant, Allah will
place a seal upon his heart.”Hadith No. 1052, Book of Salat, Suan Abu Dawud, Vol. 1.
You should make arrangements with your boss to be able to attend Jumuah salah
You don’t have to attend the khutbah
You have committed a crime in Islam if you miss 3 jumuah consecutively
Verily, Allāh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that
theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allāh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed.
(At-Tawbah 9:111)
You are in the middle between the jabri'ah and the qadriyyah
The jabri'ah is called the fatalist
They think they cannot escape Qadr and blame Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
For whatever they do
The kuffaar of Quraish also made this claim
Those who took partners (in worship) with Allāh will say: "If Allāh had willed, we would not
have taken partners (in worship) with Him. (Al-An'am 6:148)
"I went to Ibn `Abbas and found him drawing water from the well of Zamzam. The bottom of
his clothes was wet with the water of Zamzam and I said to him, `They talked about Al-
Qadar (some denied it).' He asked, `Have they done this' I said, `Yes.' He said, `By Allah!
This Ayah was revealed only about them, ("Taste you the touch of Hell!'' Verily, We have
created all things with Qadar.) They are the worst members of this Ummah. Do not visit
those who fall ill among them or pray the Funeral prayer for those among them who die. If I
saw one of them, I would pluck out his eyes with these two fingers of mine.'' [Ibn Kathir
agreed Tirmidhi]
You are in the middle between the monk and the gigolo
The monk refuses to get married and stays away from women
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) didn't tell them to do that
But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but
(they sought it) only to please Allāh therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right
observance. So We gave those among them who believed, their (due) reward, but many of
them are Fāsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allāh). (Al-Hadid 57:27)
I've seen many priests taken away to prison because they molest kids
These pedophiles like to work at orphanages because they have no one to protect them
The monk is misguided
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) said they practice a cursed innovation
"I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.” (Trans Sahih al
Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol 7 Book 67 hadith 5063. Sahih-Muslim, English translation Vol 2
pg 703 No.3236)
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) said that the angels couldn’t find one muslim home
Except the one for Lut and his daughters
The wicked scholars cannot refute the above ayah
4. YOU ARE SOFT WITH THE MUSLIM AND HARSH WITH THE KUFFAR
Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allāh, and those who are with him are severe against
disbelievers, and merciful among themselves…. (Al-Fath 48:29)
If you worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) for Love only, you are a Sufi
If you worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) for Fear only, you are a khawaarij
If you worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) for Hope only, you are a murji
You worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) with a combination of three things
You love Allah, you fear the hellfire and you hope for Jannat
Because you the middle nation
A sufi will tell you to your face that he only loves Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
But he doesn’t fear Him
But you are not like them because you are a balanced nation
You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything). (Al-
Fatihah 1:5)
“Verily Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) will not make Muhammad’s Community agree on
error.”al-Hakim narrated it in the Mustadrak al Hakim vol 1 pg 116 with a sound (sahih)
chain.
Narrated by Abu Huraira (radiyallahu ‘anhu): The Prophet said, "Faith (Belief) consists of
more than sixty branches (i.e. parts). And Haya is a part of faith." (Bukhari)
When a woman is loud mouth and use curse words, she is not a lady.
No one will marry her
Anas (radiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated the Messenger of Allah(SAW) said: “Every religion has a
particular manner or characteristic. And the characteristic of Islam is Hayaa.” [Sunan Ibn
Majah (5/276) No. 4181]
"The worst thief is one who steals in his prayer." Then the companions asked, "How can
someone steal from his prayer?" Prophet (SAW) answered, "He does not complete his Ruku
and Sadjah with perfection." [Musnad Ahmad (5/310) No. 22695, Sunan Darimi (1/350) No.
1328, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (1/331) No. 663]
The man who prays improperly is stealing from his salah as mentioned in the above hadith
"Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, and then on
the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake
with two black spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and
say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.' (Bukhari Volume 2, Book 24, Number 486.)
And those who hoard up gold and silver [Al-Kanz: the money, the Zakāt of which has not
been paid], and spend it not in the Way of Allāh, -announce unto them a painful torment.
(At-Tawbah 9:34)
This man is gay and atheist so they will never use the word terrorism
This was gay terrorism
This gay crashed a plane killing 150 people
I don’t feel sorry for the kuffaar. You know why?
They preach to be gay is normal
So he said, ‘since you preach that gay is normal, let me show you what the gays do’
And BOOM he crashed the plane
You are not allowed to feel sorry for the kuffaar
They are licking their wounds
Belief kills and cures, their belief has killed them
"There is no faith for the one who has no amanah (trust) and no religion for the one who
does not keep his promises." [Musnad Ahmad (3/135) No. 12406, al-Sunan al-Kubra al-
Bayhaqi (9/387) No. 18851]
Abu Huraira narrated the Prophet (SAW) said: “The one who gets married with the intention
not to pay dowry to his wife is a fornicator. And the one who borrows money with the
intention not to pay back is a thief.” [Ibn Hibban in ‘al-Majruheen’ (2/261) No. 941]
Some on you are worse than CNN, you can't keep a secret
The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: 1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ). 3. If you trust him, he proves
to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)" Bukhari ::
Book 1 :: Volume 2 :: Hadith 34
The first thing Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) will ask you about
On Day Of Judgement are your 5 daily prayers
“The first thing the people will be accountable for on the Day of Judgment is prayer, Allah
will say to His angels (even though he already knows) : “Look at my servants prayers. Were
they complete or not?” If they were complete It will be written as complete. If they were not
fully complete Allah will say: “See if my servant has voluntary prayers, If he has them Allah
will say: Complete his obligatory prayers shortage with his voluntary prayers.” Then the rest
of his deeds will be dealt with in the same manner.” [Reported by Imams Ahmad, Abu
Dawood, An-Nisa'i, and Al-Hakim]
Question 1: Sheikh is zakat fardh for muslim women who are not married?
Question 2: Salamun Alaika sheikh. There are so many people who say the
shahadah and don't pray or attend juma'a, were there sahabah who were
like that?
But if they repent, perform As-Salāt (Iqāmat-as-Salāt) and give Zakāt, then they are your
brethren in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)
Jabir reports that the Prophet (SAW) said, "Between a person and disbelief is discarding
prayer." (Related by Ahmad, Muslim, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmizhi and Ibn Majah.)
Buraidah reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, "The pact between us and them is prayer.
Whoever abandons it is a disbeliever." (Related by Ahmad, Abu Dawud, at-Tirmizhi, anNasa'i
and Ibn Majah.)
Three conditions: stop practicing shirk, perform 5 daily prayers and pay the zakah
Question 3: If I didn’t give my wife her dowry because I’m saving up for it,
am I considered a fornicator?
Answer 3: You are not a fornicator because it is your intention to pay the dowry
You are only a fornicator if you marry the girl with the intention not to pay the dowry.
Abu Huraira narrated the Prophet (SAW) said: “The one who gets married with the intention
not to pay dowry to his wife is a fornicator. And the one who borrows money with the
intention not to pay back is a thief.” [Ibn Hibban in ‘al-Majruheen’ (2/261) No. 941]
There is a difference of opinion concerning the punishment for the one who commits
sodomy. The following are the opinions that were mentioned by Imam Ash-Shawkani in
"Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol. 7/p122-124.
1) That he is killed with the sword, then burnt. This is narrated from Abu Bakr and 'Ali Ibn
Abi Talib.
2) That they are burned. This was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, that Abu Bakr gathered the
Sahabah and 'Ali mentioned this, and the Sahabah agreed upon it. It was also mentioned by
Al-Munthiri that it was done by Abu Bakr, 'Ali, 'Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr, and Hisham Ibn
'Abdil-Malik.
3) That he is stoned, then burnt with fire. This is narrated from the Sahabah agreeing upon it
in the time of Abu Bakr.
Question 6: What if a muslim is fighting the urge of being gay and is caught
in the action but wants to repent. What is ruling on him?
Say: "O 'Ibādī (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil
deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allāh, verily Allāh forgives all sins. Truly, He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)
You can google ‘ex-gays’ and you will see those who have given up this disease
Many people insult Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) and apostate when they are faced with a
calamity
And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and
fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sābirin (the patient ones, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:155)
Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: "Truly! To Allāh we belong and truly, to Him we shall
return." (Al-Baqarah 2:156)
You should say ‘Truly! To Allāh (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) we belong And truly, to Him we shall
return’, from the first strike of a calamity
Not after some time that you have already said and acted in ways inappropriate
The believer is patient in times of calamity
Because of that, the rasul (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) said:
Suhayb Ibn Sinan narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Wonderful are the affairs of
a believer; for there is good in every affair of his; this is not the case with anyone else except
a believer. If he has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (Allah), thus there is good for him
in it. If he suffers affliction, he endures patiently, which is good for him. [Sahih Muslim
(4/2295) No. 2999]
Those (i.e. believers) unto whom the people (hypocrites) said, "Verily, the people (pagans)
have gathered against you (a great army), therefore, fear them." But it (only) increased
them in Faith, and they said: "Allāh (Alone) is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of
affairs (for us)." (Aali Imran 3:173)
This believer should be like the bird in his trust in Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
Umar ibn Khattab reported that Allah’s Messenger said “If you trust in Allah observing a true
trust in Him, then, indeed, He will give you provision as He provides the birds who emerge
hungry in the morning and return with a full belly in the evening.” [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/573)
2344, Musnad Ahmad (1/30) No. 205, Sunan Ibn Majah (5/266) No. 4164]
17. YOU DON'T DESPAIR – GIVE UP FROM ALLAH’S (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) MERCY AND
HELP
"O my sons! Go you and enquire about Yusuf (Joseph) and his brother, and never give up
hope of Allah's Mercy. Certainly no one despairs of Allah's Mercy, except the people who
disbelieve." (Yusuf 12:87)
A sincere believer doesn't despair, because Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) told you in 39:53
That you should never despair
Say: "O 'Ibadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil
deeds and sins)! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah, verily Allah forgives all sins. Truly, He is
Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Az-Zumar 39:53)
18. YOU LOVE WHAT ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) LOVES AND YOU HATE WHAT ALLAH
(SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) HATES – AL WALAA WAL BARAA
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said: "A believer is not bitten from the same
hole twice.” [Related by al-Bukhari (6133) and Muslim (2998)]
Abu Sa’eed Khudri (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, ‘Guard yourself against
a Believer’s insight, for, he sees with the light of Allah.” He then recited: Surely in that are
signs for the sagacious. (15:75)
Firaasa (insight) is the ability to look in the face of a man and being able to tell he is a fake
Muslim
It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decreed a matter
that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allah and His
Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error. (Al-Ahzab 33:36)
But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you (O Muhammad SAW) judge
in all disputes between them, and find in themselves no resistance against your decisions,
and accept (them) with full submission. (An-Nisa 4:65)
If Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) and the Rasool (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) says anything
You don't argue against it and try to look ways to water it down
But a munafiq (hypocrite) is extremely rebellious to Quran and Sunnah
He always has ifs and buts to argues against the hujjah
If a hypocrite quotes a Qur’anic verse and puts a spin on it,
You didn't argue with the hujjah if you reject his explanation
Because he didn't explain the verse properly
That is his tafsir and his tafsir isn't real, it is fake
He puts a spin on it, he spins it out of context
However, if a sincere scholar explains the Qur’anic verse he gives you the proper tafsir of it
And you argue, then you are arguing with the hujjah
O you who believe! Raise not your voices above the voice of the Prophet (SAW), nor speak
aloud to him in talk as you speak aloud to one another, lest your deeds may be rendered
fruitless while you perceive not. (Al-Hujurat 49:2)
One of the characteristics of a sincere believer is, he doesn't argue with the hujjah
21. YOU DON'T SIT WHERE ALLAH’S (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) DEEN IS RIDICULED
And it has already been revealed to you in the Book (this Qur'an) that when you hear the
Verses of Allah being denied and mocked at, then sit not with them, until they engage in a
talk other than that; (but if you stayed with them) certainly in that case you would be like
them. Surely, Allah will collect the hypocrites and disbelievers all together in Hell, (An-Nisa
4:140)
If you sit at a gathering where Allah’s (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) deen is being ridiculed
And you feel comfortable; you are guilty of being like them
Meaning you become a kaafir like them
And when you (Muhammad SAW) see those who engage in a false conversation about Our
Verses (of the Qur'an) by mocking at them, stay away from them till they turn to another
topic. And if Shaitan (Satan) causes you to forget, then after the remembrance sit not you in
the company of those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.). (Al-
An'am 6:68)
This also proves that a sincere believer will never sit at a gathering where Allah’s
(Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) deen is being ridiculed
When you come to paltalk, you should not go to those rooms where
The deen is being mocked and ridiculed
You may think that you are having harmless fun but that is not the case
This is a serious matter
Don't go to the Christian rooms in Paltalk, they will only red dot you
They don't like to be exposed.
So they won’t allow you to debate them
If you are selling a car with a fault, you tell the Muslim the fault
Don’t cheat the Muslim
Abu Hurayra (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "Anyone who carries
arms against us is not one of us. Anyone who cheats us is not one of us." [Sahih Muslim,
Book 1, Hadith #182]
23. YOU DO NOT TAKE UP WEAPONS AGAINST THE MUSLIMS IN ERNEST OR JEST
Abu Hurayra (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said, "Anyone who carries
arms against us is not one of us. Anyone who cheats us is not one of us." [Sahih Muslim,
Book 1, Hadith #182]
….And from these (angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man
and his wife, but they could not thus harm anyone except by Allāh's Leave. And they learn
that which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it
(magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they
sold their ownselves, if they but knew. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
These people advertise their skills in the newspapers and they call themselves Shaikh
They put things like:
"If you want to win a court case, come and see me"
“If your wealth is stolen, come to me to find out who took it”
“If you want a girl to fall in love with you, come to me”
“Are you sick and want to get cured, come to me”
“You have a jinn problem, come to me”
“Do you want to get rich, come to me”
Jundub (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The hadd
(prescribed punishment) for the practitioner of magic is a blow with the sword (i.e.,
execution)" [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/60) No. 1460, Sunan al-Daraqutni (4/120) No. 3204,
Mustadrak al-Haakim (4/401) No. 8073, al-Sunan al-Kabir al-Bayhaqi (8/234) No. 16500, al-
Mu'jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (2/161) No. 1665]
They followed what the Shayatin (devils) gave out (falsely of the magic) in the lifetime of
Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the Shayatin (devils) disbelieved,
teaching men magic and such things that came down at Babylon to the two angels, Harut
and Marut, but neither of these two (angels) taught anyone (such things) till they had said,
"We are only for trial, so disbelieve not (by learning this magic from us)." And from these
(angels) people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but
they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's Leave. And they learn that which harms
them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of it (magic) would have
no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was that for which they sold their ownselves,
if they but knew. (Al-Baqarah 2:102)
When you break up man from wife it is called the sihr of separation
If you do black magic (or paid for it to be done), you become a kaafir
Because magic takes you outside of the fold of Islam
It is also one of the 7 major sins
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet (SAW), said, "Avoid the seven fatal sins." They said,
"Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said, "Associating with Allah, sorcery, killing a soul
which Allah has forbidden, except by legal right, consuming usury, consuming the property
of an orphan, fleeing on the day of battle and slandering unthinking chaste believing
women." [al-Bukhari (2766) and Muslim (89)]
Shirk
Sorcery
Killing a Muslim
Ribaa
Stealing from an orphan
Leaving jihad
Slandering a pious Muslimah
Why argue with a person who says "I can make Hajj in Ramadan"?
This is not possible. He is ignorant
And you only disgrace yourself by arguing with them
Don't argue with a person who has made up his own religion.
And those who spend the night before their Lord, prostrate and standing. (Al-Furqan 25:64)
27. YOU CONSTANTLY REMEMBER THE HELLFIRE AND SEEK REFUGE FROM IT
And those who say: "Our Lord! Avert from us the torment of Hell. Verily! Its torment is ever
an inseparable, permanent punishment." (Al-Furqan 25:65)
Evil indeed it (Hell) is as an abode and as a place to dwell. (Al-Furqan 25:66)
The hellfire is only a permanent abode for the kuffaar and the munafiqoon (hypocrites)
A believer asks Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) not to die as a kaafir
A sincere believer constantly thinks about the hellfire and the grave
The grave can have light in it if he does pious deeds
The grave is a garden from one of the gardens of paradise
Or a pit from one of the pits of the hellfire
28. WHEN YOU SPEND YOU DON'T WASTE, NOR ARE YOU MISERLY
And [they are] those who, when they spend, do so not excessively or sparingly but are ever,
between that, [justly] moderate (Al-Furqan 25:67) Sahih international.
And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah… (Al-Furqan 25:68)
Surely, the religion (i.e. the worship and the obedience) is for Allah only. And those who take
Auliya' (protectors and helpers) besides Him (say) : "We worship them only that they may
bring us near to Allah." Verily, Allah will judge between them concerning that wherein they
differ. Truly, Allah guides not him who is a liar, and a disbeliever. (Az-Zumar 39:3)
If you invoke (or call upon) them, they hear not your call, and if (in case) they were to hear,
they could not grant it (your request) to you. And on the Day of Resurrection, they will
disown your worshipping them. And none can inform you (O Muhammad SAW) like Him Who
is the AllKnower (of each and everything)[]. (Fatir 35:14)
And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has
forbidden, except for just cause,
(Al-Furqan 25:68)
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) also says in 4:93 you have gained His anger and curse
If you should kill an innocent Muslim intentionally
And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the
Wrath and the Curse of Allah are upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him. (An-
Nisa 4:93)

On the authority of Ibn Masood (RA) who said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "It is not
permissible to spill the blood of a Muslim except in three [instances]: the married person
who commits adultery, a life for a life, and the one who forsakes his religion and separates
from the community." It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Narrated By 'Abdullah: Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in
three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse
and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims." [al-Bukhari (6878)
and Muslim (1676)]
When I was in Saudi, a man killed a man and the family forgave him.
They asked that he memorise the Quran while in prison and the man did that.
And they forgave him because that was the condition for them to forgive him
They said he was out of touch with Quran that was he committed murder
When Mu’awwiya (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was the Caliph, a child's father was killed.
When the child reached puberty, Mu’awwiya gave the boy the option
To either kill him, take the blood money or forgive him
The boy chose to kill the man so he was killed
Mu’awiyyah was a faqih
Narrated By Ibn Abi Mulaika: Somebody said to Ibn 'Abbas, "Can you speak to the chief of
the believers Muwaiya, as he does not pray except one Rak'a as Witr?" Ibn 'Abbas replied,
"He is a Faqih (i.e. a learned man who can give religious verdicts)." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 5,
Book 57, Hadith 109]
And those who invoke not any other ilah (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has
forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this
shall receive the punishment. (Al-Furqan 25:68)
And come not near to the unlawful sexual intercourse. Verily, it is a Fahishah [i.e. anything
that transgresses its limits (a great sin)], and an evil way (that leads one to Hell unless Allah
forgives him). (Al-Isra 17:32)
Whenever a man and a woman are alone together, the third person is the shaitan
Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab: The Prophet said, "...Whenever a man is alone with a woman
the Devil makes a third..." [Musnad Ahmad (1/26) No. 177, Sunan Tirmidhi (4/465) No.
2165, Mustadrak al-Haakim (1/197) No. 387, Sahih Ibn Hibban (12/399) No. 5586, Nasa'i in
'Sunan al-Kubra' (5/387) No. 9219]
Some people use this hadith to say you cannot talk to the opposite sex on social media
That is an incorrect interpretation of the hadith
But they are correct if your intention in talking to the opposite sex is mischief
But if your intention is dawah, you did nothing wrong
Many brothers and sisters’ marriages were destroyed because of social media
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, who said: The messenger of Allah said “A sign of one’s
excellence in his Islam, is ignoring what does not concern him.” [Ahmad, Malik & At-
Tirmidhi]
33. YOU DON'T EAT THE FLESH OF YOUR MUSLIM BROTHERS - BACKBITE
O you who believe! Avoid much suspicions, indeed some suspicions are sins. And spy not,
neither backbite one another. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You
would hate it (so hate backbiting). And fear Allah. Verily, Allah is the One Who accepts
repentance, Most Merciful. (Al-Hujurat 49:12)
The Prophet (pbuh) said: “Do not eavesdrop or spy on one another. Do not rival and envy
one another nor despise and shun one another. Be worshippers of Allah and be brothers as
Allah has commanded you to be.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî (5144) and Sahîh Muslim (2563) with
the wording as related by Muslim]
You are not allowed to spy on them even if it is to find their faults
It has been reported that a man was brought before Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) because his
beard was giving out smell of wine. Ibn Mas'ud said: "We have been prohibited from spying
(on Muslims) and finding faults (with them). But if something is clear to us, then we punish
for it." [Sunan Abu Dawud (4/272-273) No. 4890]
People have weaknesses and aren’t perfect so you aren’t allowed to spy
36. YOU DON'T CALL OTHERS BY OFFENSIVE NICK NAMES TO HURT THEIR FEELINGS
Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) reported that at the time of the liberation of Makkah, the Prophet
(SAW) addressed the people. He said, "O you people, surely Allah has removed from you
pride of pre-Islamic days and pride in high descent. Thus, men are of two kinds, man who is
pious and God-fearing, and noble in the Sight of Allah. The other kind is a sinner,
hardhearted and lowly in Allah's Sight. But, men are children of Adam and Allah had Created
Adam from dust. He said: "And revile not one another with nicknames." (49:12) [Sunan
Tirmidhi (5/389) No. 3270]
O you who believe! Let not a group scoff at another group, it may be that the latter are
better than the former; nor let (some) women scoff at other women, it may be that the latter
are better than the former, nor defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames.
How bad is it, to insult one's brother after having Faith [i.e. to call your Muslim brother (a
faithful believer) as: "O sinner", or "O wicked", etc.]. And whosoever does not repent, then
such are indeed Zalimun (wrong-doers, etc.). (Al-Hujurat 49:11)
Ibn ‘Abbas related that the Messenger of God, upon him be God’s blessings and peace,
passed by two graves and said: “They are being punished, but not for a great matter (on
their part). One of them did not clean himself from urine, and the other used to spread
slander.” (Tirmidhi, “Tahara,” 53)
….Truly, Allah loves those who turn unto Him in repentance and loves those who purify
themselves (by taking a bath and cleaning and washing thoroughly their private parts,
bodies, for their prayers, etc.). (Al-Baqarah 2:222)
It was narrated from Abd-Allaah ibn Masood (RA) that the Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever
starts his day caring about something other than Allaah has nothing to do with Allaah, and
whoever does not care about the Muslims is not one of them." [Narrated by al-Haakim in al-
Mustadrak (4/356)]
And those who do not witness falsehood, and if they pass by some evil play or evil talk, they
pass by it with dignity. (Al-Furqan 25:72)
If you respect yourself as a Muslim, you will never be entertained by these kuffaar
Who are nothing but scums of the earth and fuel for the hellfire
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) has made it haram on the hellfire to burn two eyes:
The eyes that keep watch over the borders of the Islamic State
And those that cry for Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that he heard Allah’s Messenger (SAW) say, ‘(There are) two eyes
that the Fire will never touch, the eye that wept from fear of Allah and the eye that stood
guard in the night in Allah’s path.” [Sunan Tirmidhi (4/175) No. 1639 and Shu'ab al-Eman al-
Bayhaqi (3/227) No. 1639]
Then, after that, your hearts were hardened and became as stones or even worse in
hardness. And indeed, there are stones out of which rivers gush forth, and indeed, there are
of them (stones) which split asunder so that water flows from them, and indeed, there are of
them (stones) which fall down for fear of Allah. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
(Al-Baqarah 2:74)
Muhammad (SAW) is no more than a Messenger, and indeed (many) Messengers have
passed away before him. If he dies or is killed, will you then turn back on your heels (as
disbelievers)? And he who turns back on his heels, not the least harm will he do to Allāh, and
Allāh will give reward to those who are grateful. (Aali Imran 3:144)
Narrated Abu Salama from Ibn Abbas : Abu Bakr came out and 'Umar , was addressing the
people, and Abu Bakr told him to sit down but 'Umar refused. Abu Bakr again told him to sit
down but 'Umar again refused. Then Abu Bakr recited the Tashah-hud (i.e. none has the
right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad is Allah's Apostle) and the people attended
to Abu Bakr and left Umar. Abu Bakr said, "Amma ba'du, whoever amongst you worshipped
Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, Allah is alive and will
never die. Allah said: 'Muhammad is no more than an Apostle and indeed (many) Apostles
have passed away before him ..(up to the) grateful.' " (3.144) (The narrator added, "By
Allah, it was as if the people never knew that Allah had revealed this verse before till Abu
Bakr recited it and then whoever heard it, started reciting it ") [Bakhari Volume 2, Book 23,
Number 333]
.Al-Hafiz Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin 'Abdur-Rahman bin Ibrahim bin Duhaym recorded that
Damrah narrated that two men took their dispute to the Prophet (SAW), and he gave a
judgment to the benefit of whoever among them had the right. The person who lost the
dispute said, "I do not agree." The other person asked him, "What do you want then" He
said, "Let us go to Abu Bakr As-Siddiq." They went to Abu Bakr and the person who won the
dispute said, "We went to the Prophet (SAW) with our dispute and he issued a decision in my
favor." Abu Bakr said, "Then the decision is that which the Messenger of Allah (SAW)
issued."The person who lost the dispute still rejected the decision and said, "Let us go to
'Umar bin Al-Khattab." When they went to 'Umar, the person who won the dispute said, "We
took our dispute to the Prophet (SAW) and he decided in my favor, but this man refused to
submit to the decision." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked the second man and he concurred.
'Umar went to his house and emerged from it holding aloft his sword. He struck the head of
the man who rejected the Prophet’s decision with the sword and killed him. Consequently,

Not a single person said he was overreacting for killing the man
Not even the prophet (Salallahu 'Alayhi wa sallam) objected
This man lost his life because he was a munafiq
One of the signs of a munafiq is that he can't surrender to the hujjah
44. YOU BEG ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) TO BLESS YOU WITH A PIOUS WIFE
45. YOU BEG ALLAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA’ALA) TO BLESS YOU WITH PIOUS CHILDREN
Many of you assume that because you are a Muslim, you will have a pious wife
Two Prophets had kuffaar wives – Lut and Nuh (‘alayhima salatu wa salam)
You need to beg Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) for a pious wife
And those who say: "Our Lord! Bestow on us from our wives and our offspring who will be
the comfort of our eyes, and make us leaders for the Muttaqun" (pious - see V.2:2 and the
footnote of V.3:164)." (Al-Furqan 25:74)
O you who believe! Verily, among your wives and your children there are enemies for you
(i.e. may stop you from the obedience of Allah), therefore beware of them! But if you pardon
(them) and overlook, and forgive (their faults), then verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most
Merciful. (At-Taghabun 64:14)
Ibn Masood (radiyallahu ‘anhu) said there is no verse in the Quran that
He doesn't know the reason why Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) revealed it
And those who came after them say: "Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who have
preceded us in Faith, and put not in our hearts any hatred against those who have believed.
Our Lord! You are indeed full of kindness, Most Merciful. (Al-Hashr 59:10)
When you read the story of Ali and Mu’awiyya (radiyallahu ‘anhuma)
Your stance should be that they both made ijtihad
Ali (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was right so he gets 2 rewards
Mu’awiyya (radiyallahu ‘anhu) was wrong so he gets only 1 reward
You insult neither of them
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) narrated the prophet (SAW) said: ‘Do not slander my Companions,
for if one of you were to spend an amount of gold equivalent to the size of Mount Uhud, you
would not even come halfway up to their level." [al-Bukhari (3673) and Muslim (2540)]
One of you should send this hadith to Yasir Qadhi, maybe he forgot this hadith
To ridicule a pious predecessor, you have gone too far.
The Messenger of Allah said: “Anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should not
harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should entertain his
guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should say what is
good or keep quiet”. (Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol.8 pg.29 No.47)
The Messenger of Allah said: “Anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should not
harm his neighbor, and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should entertain his
guest generously and anybody who believes in Allah and the last day should say what is
good or keep quiet”. (Sahih Bukhari (Arabic/English) Vol.8 pg.29 No.47)
Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: Allah has cursed those women who practise tattooing and those
women who have themselves tattooed, and those women who get their hair removed from
their eyebrows and faces (except the beard and the mustache), and those who make
artificial spaces between their teeth for beauty, whereby they change Allah's creation. A
woman started to argue with him, saying: "What is all this?" He replied: "Why should I not
curse those whom the Messenger of Allah (SAW) cursed and who are cursed in Allah's Book?
Allah, the Exalted, has said in His Book: "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad
(SAW)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)." (59:7) [al-
Bukhari (5931) and Muslim (2125)]
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) said: One who died but did not fight in the way of Allah nor did he express any
desire (or determination) for Jihad died the death of a hypocrite. [Sahih Muslim, Book 20,
Hadith 4696]
Verily! As for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as
they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they
(angels) say (to them) : "In what (condition) were you?" They reply: "We were weak and
oppressed on earth." They (angels) say: "Was not the earth of Allah spacious enough for you
to emigrate therein?" Such men will find their abode in Hell - What an evil destination! (An-
Nisa 4:97)
Except the weak ones among men, women and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are
they able to direct their way. (An-Nisa 4:98)
If you refuse to make hijrah you belong to the madhab of the wife of prophet Lut
Except for those who can’t find a way out for themselves to make hijrah
The kuffaar yesterday used to prevent the Muslims from making hijrah
And today they charge you with terrorism if you are caught trying to make hijrah
Their hearts are alike that is why their treatment of Muslims doesn’t change
They hate us but they won’t allow us to migrate
Because the moment we leave there will be natural disasters
Because they are the Sodom and Gomorra of today
So like yesterday, the disaster struck when Lut left the town
Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allah) on
the people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture [the
Taurat (Torah)]! Have you then no sense? (Al-Baqarah 2:44)
Question 2: So the sinful muslims have the qualities of the believer that you
have discussed?
Have you heard about Abu Mahjan (radiyallahu ‘anhu), he was a sahabi
He had a weakness for alcohol
Although he was fierce on the battlefield
The commander of the army, Sa’ad ibn Abi Waqqas (radiyallahu ‘anhu),
Tied him up so he wouldn't go to battle with them
Sa’ad's wife (Sarah) set Abu Mahjan free to go and fight
He went to fight on Sa’ad’s horse
Sa’ad didn't recognise him because Abu Mahjan wore a niqab
Abu Mahjan was a lion on the battlefield sometimes fighting multiple kuffaar at a time
He had a weakness but loved Jihad

Ibn Taymiyyah (rh) said: “And it is known from the religion (of Islam) by necessity and by
the consensus of all Muslims that whoever legalizes to follow other than the religion of
Islam or a Shariah other than the Shariah of Muhammad (SAW), he is a Kaafir. And his kufr
is similar to that of the one who believes in some part of the book (Quran) and reject some
of it.” [Majmua al-Fataawa (28/524)]
"A scholar who abandons what has learnt from the Quran and the Sunnah and follows a ruler
who does not rule in accordance with the teaching of Allah and His Messenger is an apostate
and a disbeliever who deserves punishment in this world and in the hereafter " Fatawa Ibn
Taymiyyah, Volume 35/373
In the Muslim world today, many have the wrong aqeeda
These two fatwas will teach them that you have to make takfir on the leaders
And the scholar who supports the leader
Question 6: Assalama Alaikum Sheikh, If a person doesn't pray can you make
takfir on them for doing minor kufr things?
Answer 6: Anybody who doesn't pray is outside of the fold of Islam because of 9:11
But if they repent, perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat) and give Zakat, then they are your
brethren in religion. (In this way) We explain the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons,
signs, revelations, etc.) in detail for a people who know. (At-Tawbah 9:11)
You cannot make takfir for minor kufr, the khawaarij do that
You are only allowed to make takfir for major kufr
When you make takfir, it has to be for the sake of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala)
Not for your own desires
Have you seen those (hyprocrites) who claim that they believe in that which has been sent
down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they wish to go for judgement
(in their disputes) to the Tāghût (false judges, etc.) while they have been ordered to reject
them. But Shaitān (Satan) wishes to lead them far astray. (An-Nisa 4:60)
While 'Allama al-Shinqiti-May Allah be merciful with him-has said: To commit shirk with
Allah in judging is of the same meaning as to commit shirk in His worship, there is no
difference between the two in any manner. There is no difference in any sense between he
who follows a system (nizam) other than Allah's system or law other than Allah's law
(sharia) and he who worships an idol or prostrates to a false god. They are the same and
both are polytheists [associating others] with Allah. [Adwa' al-Bayan, (7/162)]
He passed this fatwa because tawheed hakimiyyah is the twin half of tawheed ibada
Muhammad Ibrahim [the shaikh of bin Baaz] said, "Tawheed haakimiyya is the twin half of
tawheed Ibaada." [Tahkeem al Qawaneen Page 6]
‘Umar said to him: ‘Divorce her.’ (Hudhayfah) said: ‘Do you bear witness that she is haraam?’
He said: ‘She is a live coal, divorce her.’ He said: ‘Do you bear witness that she is haraam?’
He said: ‘She is a live coal.’ He said: ‘I know that she is a live coal, but she is permissible for
me.’ A while later, he divorced her and it was said to him: ‘Why did you not divorce her when
‘Umar commanded you to?’ He said: ‘I did not want the people to think that I had done
something wrong (by marrying her).’ Perhaps he was fond of her or perhaps they had a child
together so he was fond of her.” Al-Mughni, 7/99
Abu Haneefah (rh) said, when asked of his opinion of the one who says, ‘I do not know
whether Allah is above the heavens or on the earth.’ - “He has disbelieved, because Allah
says, “The Most Merciful rose above the Throne,” and His Throne is above His seven
heavens.’ He was then asked , ‘what if he said that Allah is above His Throne but he does not
know whether the Throne is in the heavens or on the earth?’ He said, ‘He has disbelieved,
because He has denied that He is above the heavens, And whosoever denied that He is above
the heavens has disbelieved.” (‘Sharh Usul I'tiqaad Ahlus Sunnah’ of al-Laalikaaee
(d.414AH), ‘al-Uluww’ of adh- Dhahabee, also ‘Sharh Aqueedah at-Tahaawiyyah’ of ibn Abee
al-Izz al-Hanafee)
Abu Hanifa says you are a kaafir, if you don't know where Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is,
You have to believe Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is above the arsh
And the arsh is above the 7 heavens
We don't believe Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is in heaven
Are you a Christian?
Only Christians say Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) is in heaven
Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) doesn't dwell inside His creation

KHAWARIJJ'S CHARACTERISTIC
- a Khawarijj kills for his belief
- they kill Muslims and leave the kuffaar alone
- they point fingers
- they even spy for kuffaar and brag about it on TV
- they believe pointing fingers at others
- will divert situation away from them
..the Prophet said, "Out of the offspring of this man, there will be people who will recite the Quran
but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out through
the game, and they will kill the Muslims and leave the idolaters. Should I live till they appear, I
would kill them as the Killing of the nation of 'Ad." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 9, Book 93, Hadith #527]

O you who believe! When believing women come to you as emigrants, examine them, Allah knows
best as to their Faith, then if you ascertain that they are true believers, send them not back to the
disbelievers, they are not lawful (wives) for the disbelievers nor are the disbelievers lawful
(husbands) for them. But give the disbelievers that (amount of money) which they have spent [as
their Mahr] to them. And there will be no sin on you to marry them if you have paid their Mahr to
them. Likewise hold not the disbelieving women as wives, and ask for (the return of) that which
you have spent (as Mahr) and let them (the disbelievers, etc.) ask back for that which they have
spent. That is the Judgment of Allah. He judges between you. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.

due Mahr (bridal money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage),desiring chastity
(i.e. taking them in legal wedlock) not committing illegal sexual intercourse, nor taking them as
girl-friends.(Al-Ma'idah 5:5)
O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Auliya' (friends, protectors, helpers,
etc.), they are but Auliya' to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Auliya', then
surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimûn (polytheists
and wrong¬doers and unjust). (Al-Ma'idah 5:51)
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "Verily, my Salat (prayer), my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for
Allah, the Lord of the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists). (Al-An'am 6:162)
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (RA) narrated : We went out with Allah’s Messenger (SAW) while we were
young men and we were unable to do anything (that is, not even afford marriage). He said, “O
Group of young men! It is incumbent that you marry for it protects the eye and the private parts.
So, he among you who cannot marry, let him fast, for, fasting dries up (lust)”. [Tirmidhi 1083,

4. KAAFIRS SHOULD NOT GAIN ACCESS TO THE STRATEGIC INFO OF THE ISLAMIC STATE
Both Ibn Hisham's "Sirah " (under the title: `Abdullah ibn Jahsh's sariyyah) and Bihar al-Anwar
relate the same narration that the carrier of the letter was `Abdullah ibn Jahsh. It is said that the
Prophet (SAW) asked him to open the letter after two days' journey and do as it instructed, and he
did so and acted upon the Messenger of Allah's command. [Ibn Hisham, S'irah, Vol 1, p 601 and
Bihar al-Anwar, old edition, Vol 6, p 575]
5. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KILL A MUSLIM FOR THE SAKE OF A KAAFIR
-Muslims pay blood money if they kill another Muslim [w/o just cause]
- the only time you can kill a Muslim when he kills another Muslim
- we only kill a Muslim if they killed another Muslim
- this is Shariah law
Verily, those who disbelieve (in the religion of Islam, the Qur'an and Prophet Muhammad (Peace
be upon him)) from among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) and Al-Mushrikûn
will abide in the Fire of Hell. They are the worst of creatures. (Al-Baiyinah 98:6)
O you who believe! Take not My enemies and your enemies (i.e. disbelievers and polytheists, etc.)
as friends, showing affection towards them, while they have disbelieved in what has come to you
of the truth (i.e. Islamic Monotheism, this Qur'an, and Muhammad SAW), and have driven out the
Messenger (Muhammad SAW) and yourselves (from your homeland) because you believe in Allah
your Lord! If you have come forth to strive in My Cause and to seek My Good Pleasure, (then take
not these disbelievers and polytheists, etc., as your friends). You show friendship to them in
secret, while I am All-Aware of what you conceal and what you reveal. And whosoever of you
(Muslims) does that, then indeed he has gone (far) astray, (away) from the Straight Path. (Al-
Mumtahinah 60:1)

etc.) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail
to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared
from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you

THE TARTARS
- al yaasiq is a book
- their concept of the Shariah was al yaasiq (the bible of the tartars,
- a cocktail of many religions)
So Whosoever abandons the wise Shariah which was revealed upon Muhammed ibn Abdullah, the
seal of the prophets, and goes to other abrogated Shariah for judgment, he becomes a Kaafir. So
how about the one who goes to al-Yaasiq (man-made law) for judgment and gives it precedence
(over the Sharia of Muhammed (saw). Whosoever does this has become a Kaafir by the Ijma of the
Muslims. Ibn Kathir, Al-Bidayah Wan-Nihayah, Vol 13, p119
Thus, it has become in his sons a followed law to which they have been giving precedence over
ruling by the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His messenger (SAW). Whoever does this is a Kaafir
who must be fought until he returns to the rule of Allah and His messenger. So no one other than
He should rule neither minorly or majorly". Tafseer Ibn Kathir, Vol 2, p.67
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728H): “Whenever a person makes halal what is haraam by
consensus or makes haraam what is halal by consensus or replaces the Sharee’ah that is agreed
upon by consensus, then he is a Kaafir by the agreement of the scholars of Fiqh.” – “Al-Fataawa”,

shall be a tyrannical kingship (mulkan jabriyyatan) for as long as Allah wishes it to be. Then it

9.WHEN A KAAFIR DIES YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO WASH OR PRAY OVER HIM
-JANAZAH is only for Muslims
And never (O Muhammad SAW) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (hypocrites) who dies, nor
stand at his grave. Certainly they disbelieved in Allah and His Messenger, and died while they
were Fasiqûn (rebellious, - disobedient to Allah and His Messenger SAW). (At-Tawbah 9:84)
There is a difference of opinion concerning the punishment for the one who commits sodomy. The
following are the opinions that were mentioned by Imam Ash-Shawkani in "Nayl Al-Awtar" , Vol.
7/p122-124.
1) That he is killed with the sword, then burnt. This is narrated from Abu Bakr and 'Ali Ibn Abi
Talib.
2) That a wall should be collapsed upon him. This was the opinion of 'Umar and 'Uthman.
3) That he should be thrown from the highest building in the city, then that should be followed up
with him being pelted with rocks. This was the opinion of Ibn 'Abbas.
4) That he is stoned. This is narrated by Al-Bayhaqi from 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib, Ash-Sha'bi, Az-Zuhri,
Malik, Ahmad, Is'haq, and Ash-Shafi'i.
5) That they are burned. This was narrated by Al-Bayhaqi, that Abu Bakr gathered the Sahabah
and 'Ali mentioned this, and the Sahabah agreed upon it. It was also mentioned by Al-Munthiri that
it was done by Abu Bakr, 'Ali, 'Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr, and Hisham Ibn 'Abdil-Malik.
6) That he is stoned, then burnt with fire. This is narrated from the Sahabah agreeing upon it in the
time of Abu Bakr.
13 Important Questions & Answers
about Zakat al Fitr
Bismallah Alhamdulillah wasalat wasalamu ala rasool elllah Ama Ba3ed:
May allah subhanahu watala allow this to be for his and his sake only and may Muslims
benefit from it.
Zakat Al fiter is a charity given at the end of Ramadan or the morning of the Eid Alfiter.
It was named zakat al fitr because it's to be given when Muslims break their fast at the end
of Ramadan.
It seems that it was ordained the same time Ramadan was ordained in the 2nd year of the
hijra, because it's part of Ramadan, and we know not of any Ramadan the sahabah radia
Allahu Anhum fasted in which they did not give zakat Elfitr in.
The prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam said in a hadith under the chain of Ibn Umar radia
allah anh in both Bukhari and Muslim "The Prophet ordained zakat al fitr sa3 of dates or sa3
of wheat"
The hadith is clear in stating the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam "ordained".
-Imam Ibn Al munther and others reported ijma (meaning consensus) and no dispute
among scholars on this matter except by the hanafi madhab which believe its a wajib and
not fard, just a dispute in terms used but the end result is that all scholars believe its an
ordain.
-It’s also said that the verse "He is successful who groweth" 87:14 means zakat alfitr.
a. Purification of those who fasted from excessive gossip, evil talk, and backbiting which
people constantly fall into. So the charity is a purification and forgiveness for that.
Ibn Abbas radia allah anhuma clearly informed us the purpose behind ordaining this charity
when he said :(The Prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam ordered zakat alfiter purification for
one who fasts from gossip and excessive talk during fasting as well as a charity for the
poor). The hadith is Narrated in Sunan Abu dawoud, Ibn Majah, Aldarqutny, and Alhakem
who said its authentic.
b. To help the poor so that eid will not come upon anyone needy or begging, and so they
may enjoin the Muslims in their happiness and celebrations.
The Prophet sallah Allahu alieh wasalam said:(Keep them from going around begging this
day), meaning give that charity so they will not go beg but rather enjoy this eid, be happy
in it and place a smile on their faces.
You may give sa3 of dates, wheat, raisins, which are mentioned in hadith abusaeed in both
bukhari and Muslim.
Scholars such as Ibn Taimieh said you can give that which is of the common food of the
people of that time like some of the sahabah did.
Equivalent to wheat for example would be rice, biryani or anything of its likes.
We mentioned the term "sa3" many times. That is one of the means they used to weigh
food during the Prophets time Sallah allahu alieh wasalam.
8. I do not want to give food as charity but rather give money equivalent to that amount of
food, can I do that?
Note: To give a masjid, charity organization, a relative or someone you trust cash and
currency to buy the food and give it for you is permissible because that is tawkeel.
Giving a charity, masjid, relative, or a poor cash currency instead of the categories of foods
we mentioned is disputed and here is the breakdown:
1. The GREAT VAST majority of the ulama and imams is that it is NOT permitted for you to
give zakat alfiter in currency but rather it MUST be given as food.
-Imam Ahmad rahimahu allah said: (I'm afraid it will not be accepted as zakat Alfitr)
-This is also the madhab of the great two Imams Malik and Shafey rahimahum allah.
-Imam Ibn Hazem Rahimahu Allah said:(It will not be accepted because that is what the
Prophet Sallah Allahu Alieh waslam ordained).
Basically the Proof is that the Prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam ordered in all the hadith
that food be given. And we all know that the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam was given
"jawame3 alkalem" which means eloquent and precise wording and phrasing; meaning he
could have said give sa3 of food or something equivalent to that of gold and silver (dinar
and dirham) which was known at that time yet he did not say that so we should stick to
what he said.
2. Imam Abu Hanifa and Atta' rahimahum allah said it is accepted to give zakat alfitr in
Cash rather than food.
The proof for the second camp is that they resorted to the purpose of zakat elfitr which is to
keep the poor from asking, and whatever keeps them from asking whether it may be food
or currency is accepted.
Also, they said poor people may take the food and re-sell it for cheaper than it’s worth to
get the currency so they end up not benefiting from the entire sa3 of food nor do they get
it's equivalent in currency.
I do find it important to stress how strong the first opinion is because their basis is strong in
stating that the Prophet sallah Allahu alieh wasalam mentioned categories of food and not
currency which they had, and which other charities like zakat almal must be given in.
This is a special zakat that should be given in the special way we were told to give it,
namely food like the Prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam did, and more so all generations of
the sahabah gave in food, not a single sahabah was known to have given currency instead
of food.
*I presented both scholarly opinions and alhamdulillah this is a fikh issue of Islam which we
can all get along with each other even if we disagree and it should not cause ill and hard
feelings in our communities and masjids, especially in times like eid. We say like the pious
previous imams mentioned in matters of dispute similar to this (Our opinion is correct which
has the possibility of error in it, and our brothers are incorrect but it has the possibility of
being correct).
Every single Muslim male and female, child or elder, poor or rich.
-The poor who must give are those who can spare a sa3 on themselves and those they are
entrusted to support unless they will sleep hungry the night of eid if zakat alfitr is given.
-The man of the household is in charge of giving zakat alfiter on himself and those he is
required to financially support starting with himself, his wife, his children, his mother then
his father and the rest of those he spends and cares for.
- Hadith Ibn Umar in both Bukhari and Muslims said (The prophet sallah allahu alieh
wasalam ordered zakat el fiter in Ramadan on the free and on the salve, on the male and
the female, on the young and the elder of the Muslims).
-In Hadith Tha3labah Ibn Aby Suer it’s similar to the previous hadith with the addition of (..
as well as every rich or poor Muslim, the rich allah will purify them, and the poor allah will
return upon them more than that which they give). The hadith is in Aldarkutny.
-Some sahabah even said the parents should give for the infant in his mothers womb but
did not say it was ordained to do so.
The people you give this kind of zakah are categorized in a verse in the koran: (The alms
are only for the poor and the needy, and those who collect them, and those whose hearts
are to be reconciled, and to free the captives and the debtors, and for the cause of Allah,
and (for) the wayfarer; a duty imposed by Allah. Allah is Knower, Wise.) 9:60.
The most category that should be given priority out of all those categories for zakat el fitr in
particular are the (poor and needy) because the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam told us
the purpose was to fulfill their needs from asking that day.
11. I have relatives who are poor can I give them my zakat?
Yes, relatives who you are not REQUIRED to financially support and are poor deserve your
zakah...
Those you are required to support are like the wife, and children.
A daughter who is married is not of the category that your required to support, therefore
you may give the zakat to her if she is in need.
It can be given the night before the eid or two nights before that.
The BEST time to give it however, is just before the prayer of the eid.
-In Hadith Ibn Umar in the Bukhari and one similar in saheeh Muslim he said (and for it to
be given before people begin heading for the prayer of the eid).
- Ibn Aby Shiabah narrated that Ibn Abbas said (from the sunnah is that zakat elfiter to be
given before prayer)
-If it is given a day or two or even three before the eid it is permissible inshallah as Imam
Alkharky said. Anything over that is not proper nor acceptable (as zakat elfitr) but will be
considered a regular charity because it is so far from eid it no longer is attributed to eid
(alfitr).
-You may give the zakah in currency to someone early in Ramadan or anytime before that
on the condition that they carry the task of physically purchasing the food and giving the
zakah to the poor a few days before eid.
-You may also give the food to someone you trust days or weeks before the eid on the
condition that it be given to the poor a few nights before the eid.
13. I live in the USA can I give my zakat in Palestine, Pakistan or India?
Zakat elfiter and Zakat al mal, should be given in the area you are a residing in the time eid
occurs, unless there is an extreme circumstance that deprives you from that or there is no
poor people in your area.
May allah subhanahu walatala accept our praying and fasting and allow us to be among
those freed from hellfire.

96:16
(Al-'Alaq 96:16)
(3) Did you know the Holy Qur'an states that there are 2 sets of water in the sea, the salt and the
fresh. They meet but they dont mix with each other because between them there's a barzakh
(barrier). Yet another scientific fact in the Qur'an. See Surah 55: 19-22
He has let loosed the two seas (the salt water and the sweet) meeting together. Between
them is a barrier which none of them can transgress. Out of them both come out pearl and
coral.
(Ar-Rahman 55:19-22)

So this day We shall deliver your (dead) body (out from the sea) that you may be a sign to

(proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs , revelations, etc.).

mountains, lest it should shake with you. And He has scattered therein moving (living)
creatures of all kinds. And We send down water (rain) from the sky, and We cause (plants)
of every goodly kind to grow therein.
(Luqman 31:10)
(devil) Did you know Iblis was the 1st racist hence he refused to bow down to Adam claiming fire is better
than clay? See Surah 7:12

you?" Iblis said: "I am better than him (Adam), You created me from fire, and him You
created from clay."
(Al-A'raf 7:12)
(7) Did you know the 1st of Allah's creation to use Qiyaas were the angels so they asked Allah will
you put on earth who will spread mischief and shed blood. The angels compared man to jinn and
concluded that man will use his free will do spread mischief on earth? See Surah 2:30
And (remember) when your Lord said to the angels: "Verily, I am going to place (mankind)
generations after generations on earth." They said: "Will You place therein those who will
make mischief therein and shed blood, - while we glorify You with praises and thanks

the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on

torment is theirs in the Hereafter.
(Al-Ma'idah 5:33)
(10) Did you know the 1st Mu'tazila (rationalist) was iblis because he refused to bow down to
Adam claiming he's not intellectually convinced? See Surah 15:33

created from sounding clay of altered black smooth mud."
(Al-Hijr 15:33)

with his father claiming the mountain is tall enough to save him from the flood? But his aql (brain)
surmised wrongly. See Surah 11:43
The son replied: "I will betake myself to a mountain, it will save me from the water." Nuh
(Noah) said: "This day there is no saviour[] from the Decree of Allah except him on whom He
has mercy." And a wave came in between them, so he (the son) was among the drowned.

wives) not, against Allah, and it was said: "Enter the Fire along with those who enter!"
(At-Tahrim 66:10)

face like a dirty rag and didnt accept it? See Surah 10:90-91

them in oppression and enmity, till when drowning overtook him, he said: "I believe that La ilaha
illa (Huwa) : (none has the right to be worshipped but) He," in Whom the Children of Israel believe,
and I am one of the Muslims (those who submit to Allah's Will)." Now (you believe) while you

(16) did you know Prophet Yusuf taught the 4 branches of Tawheed to the inmates in prison in
Egypt? See Surah 12:39-40

the Irresistible? "You do not worship besides Him but only names which you have named
(forged), you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command
(or the judgement) is for none but Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him
(i.e. His Monotheism), that is the (true) straight religion, but most men know not.
(Yusuf 12:39-40)
(17) Did you know the Qur'an states that the plot of women is great however the plot of the shaitan

So when he (her husband) saw his [(Yusuf's (Joseph)] shirt torn at the back; (her husband)
said: "Surely, it is a plot of you women! Certainly mighty is your plot!
(Yusuf 12:28)
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause
of Taghut (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan); Ever feeble
indeed is the plot of Shaitan (Satan).
(An-Nisa 4:76)

(Ya-Sin 36:58)
(19) Did you know Allah has 2 Hands but they are not like our hands? See Surah 38:75
(Allah) said: "O Iblis (Satan)! What prevents you from prostrating yourself to one whom I
have created with Both My Hands. Are you too proud (to fall prostrate to Adam) or are you
one of the high exalted?"
(Saad 38:75)
(20) Did you know Allah created 4 things with His 2 Hands? See Hadith
Mujahid narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) said: “Allah created four things with His Hand; 1.
The Throne 2. The Pen 3. Aadam and 4. The paradise of ‘Adn. He then said to the rest of the
creation ‘Kun’ [Be] and it was.”
(21) Did you know the holy Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said his Ummah will not give up 4
things from Jahilia? See Hadith

that exist among my ummah and they will not give them up: boasting about one’s
forefathers, casting aspersions upon people’s lineages, seeking rain by the stars and wailing
for the dead.”
[Sahih Muslim (Vol. 2 pg. 644) No. 934]
(22) Did you know the people of Yunus were the only nation to come to Allah when they saw His
wrath coming? See Surah 10:98
Was there any town (community) that believed (after seeing the punishment), and its Faith
(at that moment) saved it (from the punishment)? (The answer is none,) - except the people
of Yunus (Jonah); when they believed, We removed from them the torment of disgrace in
the life of the (present) world, and permitted them to enjoy for a while.
(Yunus 10:98)
(23) Did you know Abraham will be the first to be clothed on the Day of Judgement? See Hadith
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) stood up to deliver admonition. He
said, “O people, you will be assembled before Allah naked, and uncircumcised.” Then he
recited: "As we originated the first creation so We shall restore it." (21:104) He said “The
first one who will be clothed on the Day of Resurrection will be Ibrahim.
[Tirmidhi 3178, Ahmed 1950, Bukhari 3319, Muslim 2869, Nisai 2083]
(24) Did you know that Hadith is Wahy (revelation)? See Surah 53:3-4
Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only an Inspiration that is inspired.
(An-Najm 53:3-4)
(25) Did you know the people of Jannah will be 33 years old? See Hadith
Mu’az ibn Jabal (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, "The deserving will enter
Paradise hairless and beardless, their eyes as though collyrium was applied to them, (and
their ages) thirty or thirty-three years.”
(26) Did you know there is no body hair in Jannah? See Hadith
Mu’az ibn Jabal (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, "The deserving will enter
Paradise hairless and beardless, their eyes as though collyrium was applied to them, (and
their ages) thirty or thirty-three years.”
Raising hands in general duaa is sunnah with many hadith to support that and it is
among the etiquette of duaa in showing humility to Allah subhanu watala.
Alnawawi said: (The ahadeeth on the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam raising his
hands in duaa’ is more than what can be counted and I have compiled thirty hadith on
that from Bukhari and Muslim alone).
There is an exception in raising hands in duaa’ and that is where there is proof from
the action of the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam that he did not do it in
particular matters of worship such as during Jummah Khutbah.
The correct opinion is neither the imam nor the followers raise their hands in duaa’.
" ﻟﻘﺪ، ﻗﺒﱠﺢ ﷲ ھﺎﺗﯿﻦ اﻟﯿﺪﯾﻦ:أﺧﺮج ﻣﺴﻠﻢ رﺣﻤﮫ ﷲ ﻋﻦ ﻋﻤﺎرة ﺑﻦ رؤﯾﺒﺔ أﻧﱠﮫ رأى ﺑﺸﺮ ﺑﻦ ﻣﺮوان راﻓﻌﺎ ً ﯾﺪﯾﮫ ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﻤﻨﺒﺮ ﻓﻘﺎل

Muslim narrated that Umarah bin Ruai’bah seen one of the leaders of bany umaiah
raising his hands on the pulpit and he said (May Allah disgrace those two hands. I seen
the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam on the pulpit and he never did more than this
(meaning he raised his index finger).
Al Nawawi commenting on this hadith said: (The sunnah is not to raise the hands
during the khutbah).
ﻟﻢ ﯾﻜﻦ اﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﺻﻠﻰ ﷲ ﻋﻠﯿﮫ وﺳﻠﻢ ﯾﺮﻓﻊ ﯾﺪﯾﮫ ﻓﻲ ﺷﻲء ﻣﻦ دﻋﺎﺋﮫ إﻻ ﻓﻲ:وﻓﻲ )اﻟﺼﺤﯿﺤﯿﻦ( ﻣﻦ ﺣﺪﯾﺚ أﻧﺲ رﺿﻲ ﷲ ﻋﻨﮫ

Anas Radia Allahu Anh narrated in Bukhari and Muslim that the prophet sallah allahu
alieh wasalm never raised his hands in any duaa’ other than istiskaa (Duaa’ for rain).
Ibn Hajar and others mentioned that Anas radia Allahu Anh did not mean in (ALL of
duaa’) as his statement may appear, but rather only in specific situations. In clearer
terms, Anas radia Allahu anh meant that he, sallah allahu alieh wasalam, did not raise
his hands on the pulpit except in Istiskaa (rain-seeking) prayers. Even though he did
not mention on the pulpit, that’s definitely what he meant because there are so many
hadith on raising ones hands in general duaa’. There is no way that could have went
unnoticed by a companion who so long served and followed the prophet Muhammad
Sallah Allahu alieh wasalam.
We don’t raise our hands in salah, in circumbulating the ka’bah, or running in safah
and marwah, even though we make duaa’ in those ibadah. Likewise, due to the fact
that the prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam did not raise his hands during jummah,
we follow in his footsteps and also not raise our hands.
Rasing the hands within a ibadah (circumumbulating the kaa’bah, during jummah, or
during salah) is an additional move within a worship that needs proof. That’s why the
scholars said it was wrong to raise the hands during jummah.
The prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam remained preaching on the pulpit for ten
years and we don’t have a single authentic narration that he raised his hand in a
single jummah. The sahabah were specific in narrating to us his moves. He, sallah
allah alieh wasalam, did istiskaa (rain-seeking) prayers a few times during his life yet
prayed nearly every jummah for ten years. For istiskaaa, they narrated to us that he
raised his hands to the point the whiteness under his armpits show, yet did not
narrate the same about jummah.
In fact, they were so specific in narrating his moves during jummah that they narrated
he never raised but his index finger while on the pulpit and nothing else.
This shows who in reality follows the sunnah. We raise our hands on the pulpit during
istiskaa and we do not raise our hands during jummah khutbah. The Prophet sallah
allahu alieh wasalam did it in one scenario and one scenario only which was for
istiskaa.
As to those who make a distinction between the imam and followers that say the
imam does not raise his hands but the followers do:
The respose to that aspect is that in that in analogy ( )ﻗﯿﺎس ﻣﻊ ﻧﻔﻲ اﻟﻔﺎرقwhere there is no
difference in the situation, setting or circumstance between the two, the same ruling
applies. The follower is like the imam because there is no distinguishing factor
between the two in qiyas.
Ibn Taimieh said in the Fatawa: (It is disliked for an imam to raise his hands in
khutbah; and it is the correct of two opinions of the Hanbaly mathab because the
prophet sallah allahu alieh wasalam used to point with his finger when he makes duaa
(Istiskaa being the exception to the raising of ones hands on the pulpit).

Bismillah
And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and
then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and
does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims." (Fussilat 41:33)
We have seen that not only are the kuffar attacking us or occupying our land
--they are imprisoning and killing our scholars
--But the only regret these scholars have is that
--Allah did not take more of their flesh for His sake
--we have many Munāfiqûn who call for occupation of our land
(Sayyidina Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (RA) was asked to explain the verse: Think not of those who were
slain in Allah’s way as dead. Nay, they are alive. (3:169) He said, “Indeed we had asked about that
and were informed that their souls are in green birds that go wherever they like in Paradise and
return to the lamps suspended from the Throne. Your Lord looks at them out of familiarity and
asks, ‘Do you desire anything more that I may give more?’ They say, ‘Our Lords what more may
we seek while we are in Paradise moving about wherever we will?’ He then looks at them a second
time, saying, ‘Do you desire Me to add something for you that I should give more?’ When they see
that thay will not be spared (till they ask), they desire, ‘Return our souls to our bodies that we may
go back to earth and be slain in Your path once more.." [Muslim 4651, Abu Dawud 2514, Tirmidhi
3022, Ibn e Majah 2800]
Never will the Jews nor the Christians be pleased with you (O Muhammad Peace be upon him ) till
you follow their religion....(Al-Baqarah 2:120)
1. Those that call to the truth and are proud to call to it and its civilization
--they are never apologetic to this
--this is how we are supposed to be with our niqab and beard etc.
--they don’t appease the kuffar and they are proud of their deen
Others say to us ‘in your religion it calls for terrorism and killing people’
--‘it calls to marrying many wives’
--we say to them you liars- we are implementing Allah’s ruling on earth
--we say yes because it is Allah that sent it and it is protecting us
--from all your filthy vices you are suffering from
--whichever aspect of our deen we should never be ashamed to accept it in front of the kuffar
Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Qur'ān) and surely, We will guard it
(from corruption). (Al-Hijr 15:9)
Falsehood cannot come to it from before it or behind it (it is) sent down by the All-Wise, Worthy of
all praise (Allah). (Fussilat 41:42)
2. Those that are full of pride and are ashamed of their deen
--these people will tell you piety is in the heart and not manifested
--they are lying emaan is both in the heart and manifestation by actions
--they are people of humiliation because they are ashamed of their ulama
Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: “Iman
has some sixty or seventy branches, the best of which is the declaration that, ‘None has the right
to be worshipped but Allah’, and the least of which is the removal of harmful objects from the
road, and modesty is a branch of Iman.” [Sahih Bukhari]
And on the authority of Wabisa bin Mabad, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: I came to the
messenger of Allah and he said: "You have come to ask about righteousness?”. I said:" Yes." He
said: "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart
feels tranquil, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and from in the
breast even though people again and again have given you their legal opinion [in its favor]."
[Ahmed and Al-Darimi, with a good chain of authorities]
But we have to realize that the rasul (saw) never gave up to the kuffar, he never appeased them
Say (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)to these Mushrikûn and Kafirûn): "O Al-Kafirûn
(disbelievers in Allah, in His Oneness, in His Angels, in His Books, in His Messengers, in the Day
of Resurrection, and in Al-Qadar, etc.)! (Al-Kafirun 109:1)
"And I shall not worship that which you are worshipping. (Al-Kafirun 109:4)
"Nor will you worship that which I worship. (Al-Kafirun 109:5)
"To you be your religion, and to me my religion (Islamic Monotheism)." (Al-Kafirun 109:6)
--the first thing the kuffar did was to kill 1800 ulama
--and the people that involved in their tariika never came out to defend these people
--the scholars are those that follow the rasul (saw)'s path
--the ulama of haqq never followed the kuffar but they called man
--from the darkness of kufr to the nur of Islam
--that is why most of our scholars are imprisoned or killed
“The scholars are the inheritors of the prophets.” [Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, Ibn Maja, Ahmad,
Ibn Hibban]
Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Amr ibn Al-Aas (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “Allah
will not take away knowledge from the people all at once. But, he will take away knowledge by
taking away the ulama (one by one) till no scholar survives. The people will take the ignorant for
leaders and will ask them and they will issue verdicts without knowledge, going astray
(themselves) and leading (others) astray.” [Ahmed 6521, Bukhari 100, Muslim 2673, Tirmidhi 2661,
Ibn e Majah 52]
The rasul (saw) said the believers are one and supporters of each other
The Messenger of Allah (saw) also said, "The believers, in their love, mutual kindness, and close
ties, are like one body; when any part complains, the whole body responds to it with wakefulness
and fever." [Muslim]
The believers, men and women, are Auliyā' (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one
another, they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islāmic Monotheism and all that Islām orders
one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all
that Islām has forbidden);... (At-Tawbah 9:71)
"Whoever relieves a calamity that has struck a believer in this world, Allah will relieve for him one
of the calamities of the day of Judgement, and whoever makes things easy for a person in trouble,
Allah will make his matters easy in this life and in the hereafter, and whoever shields the faults of
a Muslim, Allah will shield his faults in this world and the hereafter, and Allah will help and
support his servant as long as he is helping and supporting his brother" (Sahih Muslim)
The muhaajiroon and the ansar were together and Allah was pleased with them (fighters and
helpers)
--we need to protect our ulama from any false allegation by the kuffar
--the people of the siddiqoon are the mujahedeen
--they leave their wealth and property and go in the path of Allah
--they are exiled, imprisoned as a result of these
--in light of recent events we have seen the treachery of the kuffar
--and how far they can go to kill an innocent man
--they violate human rights even though they say that’s what they call to
--enough is enough we have to propagate the message of truth
--that our ulama preach and we need to help them
-- So that they will not be thinking who will take care of my family?
O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allah, He will help you, and make your foothold
firm. (Muhammad 47:7)
Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of
Taghut (Satan, etc.). So fight you against the friends of Shaitan (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the
plot of Shaitan (Satan). (An-Nisa 4:76)
Thus We have made you [true Muslims - real believers of Islāmic Monotheism, true followers of
Prophet Muhammad and his Sunnah (legal ways)], a Wasat (just) (and the best) nation, that you be
witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) be a witness over you... (Al-Baqarah
2:143)
It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad SAW) with guidance and the religion of truth
(Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikûn (polytheists, pagans,
idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it). (At-Tawbah 9:33)
We need to follow RASUL (saw)
--we ask Allah to take from us everything to use it to take His deen to the highest
--we pray Allah makes us taste what Sumaiya and the others tasted
--history will not remember Obama but Anwar Awlaki
--they are the people who gave themselves to Allah
--when Mus'ab Ibn Umair came and told rasul (saw) that he will call to the deen
--his da’wah reached all his people
--Allah said in surah Asr that by time everybody is lost except those that believe and act upon it and are
patient
Except those who believe (in Islamic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend
one another to the truth (i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-
Ma'rûf)which Allah has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-
Munkar)which Allah has forbidden), and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings,
harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allah's Cause during preaching His religion of
Islamic Monotheism or Jihad, etc.). (Al-'Asr 103:3)
That is because Allah is the Maula (Lord, Master, Helper, Protector, etc.) of those who believe, and
the disbelievers have no Maula (lord, master, helper, protector, etc.). (Muhammad 47:11)
The Comprehensive Fiqh of
Fasting
(Zaad Al-Mustaqni’)
Transcribed from classes by Shaykh Ahmad Jibril
CLASS ONE
INTRODUCTION
Alhamdulillah Allah privileged us with the blessings of reaching yet another Ramadhaan. An
opportunity like this that many or most take for granted, is an opportunity longed for by
those you passed by and see in their graves. In these early moments of Ramadhaan make a
resolution and make a supreme and noble resolution. Make it your aim to attain entry to
from all the grates of Jannah, through this Ramadhaan. Let this Ramadhaan be your means
for that. Make your aim to attain Firdaws through this Ramadhaan. Take advantage of it,
work for it and rest assured that Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala will never let you down. Last
year we gathered doing a series, you all remember, today we’re doing another series.
Between this one and that one it’s as if it was a hour of a day or even less, and that’s how
your life and our lives slips away. I ask Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala to strengthen and to
purify our hearts during this month in order to take full advantage of Ramadhaan. May Allah
subhaanahu wa ta’aala grant you all Barakah during your life time and especially during this
month that you may fulfill it with deeds, may Allah accept from us all. Last year we did a
daily spiritual, Imaanic series, which was later referred to as “The Gems of Ramadhaan”.
This Ramadhaan and it’s based on the suggestion and requests of many brothers and sisters
locally and worldwide. We’ll do a series of the Fiqh of Ramadhaan and this is for everyone,
just like that Imaanic series was for everyone, this is for everyone but slightly geared more
towards Talabatul-‘Ilm and in reality, nearly everything we learn or we will be learning in the
Fiqh of Ramadhaan, nearly, all of it is something every Muslim should know. We spoke
previously on what type of ‘Ilm constitute a Waajib and what constitute Sunnah, what’s
Waajib for you to know and what is Sunnah. Issues pertaining to you or those Allah
entrusted you with, like your wife and your children in matters that are Waajib like Salah or
Ramadhaan, is Waajib for you know. A single man doesn’t really need to know the rules of a
woman on her menstrual cycle, it’s Sunnah, you get a lot of reward for learning this but it
not Waajib on you. Now, if you have a wife that needs to know matter pertaining to that or
a daughter Allah entrusted you with, then you have to learn to inform her or she can go
seek that Waajib knowledge without your permission. If she needs to know a Waajib
knowledge on her, she has the right to go seek it.

This year we will study the Fiqh of fasting from the book that you have, Zaad Al-Mustaqni’
Inshaa Allah. You either have the book or these pages and what we will be studying exactly,
I mentioned it earlier but let me repeat it; is I can basically make an outline or study booklet
or curriculum on the Fiqh of fasting, I could possibly make it more appealing to you, since I
know the audience and I know what interests you and I know how to present it to you.
However, the study of the classical work of our ‘Ulamaa who proceeded us in Imaan, may
Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala have mercy on them, is essential for Talabatul-‘Ilm. The
structured classical style study of our ‘Ulamaa, the lessons you get from those books, is
what makes a person student of knowledge, and that’s what generates ‘Ulamaa. Just like
Usool Ath-Thalaathah (The Three Fundamental Principles) we go through it line by line or
nearly word by word and it’s the classical work of a ‘Aalim on Tawheed, even though that
booklet is slightly more of a contemporary ‘Aalim. For the Fiqh of Ramadhaan it was
suggested and I agree very much with what was suggested, that we use the book called
Zaad Al-Mustaqni’.
Zaad Al-Mustaqni’ is a book that I would like to teach from cover to cover some day, if Allah
subhaanahu wa ta’aala permits. Since it is Ramadhaan, it’s wise and thoughtful to teach the
chapter on fasting, which have is not the book, some of you have the book but what you
have here is only the chapter on fasting. In Hajj season if someone is going to Hajj, we can
possibly do the chapter on Hajj. That way when we go through the book from cover to
cover, we can skip out the portions that we already covered.
WHAT IS FIQH?
Fiqh basically is Islamic jurisprudence, Fiqh figuratively or linguistically speaking means to
understand, it’s knowledge in something. Shar’ee meaning of it and that’s what concerns us,
is that is deriving religious rulings that proteins to the actions of those assigned, as it
proteins to Haraam, Halaal, permissibility or disliking from the sources. Again, deriving
religious rulings that proteins to the actions of those assigned, I’ll mention of what I mean
by those “assigned”, it matters that proteins to Haraam, Halaal, permissibility, disliking from
the sources.
Now the definition I said “the assigned” those assigned, who are those assigned? What we
mean by that is: Muslim, sane, over the age of puberty and so on and in Ramadhaan, a
woman who’s on her menstrual cycle. That’s what we mean by those ‘assigned’.
Page | 2
The most noble of ‘Ilm is the ‘Ilm of ‘Aqeedah or Tawheed. That’s why we started with the
Usool Ath-Thalaathah (The Three Fundamental Principles), it’s the difference between
eternal hell or eternal Jannah. It’s the major Fiqh, it’s called by some ‘Ulamaa ‘al-Fiqh al-
Akbar’. After Aqeedah and Tawheed in order of importance, is what we start off with today
Inshaa Allah, it’s Fiqh and it’s also referred to as ‘al-Fiqh al-Asghar’. Al-Fiqh al-Asghar is the
Fiqh pertaining to Haraam and Halaal, the rules and regulation. It’s literally to learn the rules
and regulations of Islam. It’s the knowledge on how do you make Salah? How do you purify
before Salah? How you fast, the conditions, the rules of it, what voids it and so on and so
forth. It’s so important and it’s so essential that some of the Salaf used to:
ِ اِ َن اﻟﻌﺒ َﺪ ﻗَﺪ ﻳ ِﺸﻴﺐ ﻋﺮﻇَﻪ وﻟَﻢ ﺗُﻘﺒﻞ ﻟَﻪ ﺻ َﻼة اﻟﻮ
اﺣﺪﻩ َ َ ُ َْ ْ ُ َ ُ َ َ
A man or a Muslim may grow white hair into Islam, and not a single one of his Salah is
accepted. Is he not making Salah? What are they talking about? He’s making Salah. He’s
been doing it for forty years or eighty years, yet there is a deficiency for example in his
Tahaarah. There may be a deficiency or errors in the salad, like the man the Messenger
sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:
ﺼﻠﻰ ِِ
َ ُارﺟﻊ ﻓَﺼﻠﻰ ﻓَﺎﻧَﻚ ﻟﻢ ﺗ
Go back and pray, you didn’t pray. Even though that man made Salah, but it is as if he didn’t
make it.
So the rules and regulations are essential and likewise Siyaam. If a woman is on her
menstrual cycle or if you travel, the details of it, making it up. All that is a glimpse of what
Fiqh is about, that’s Fiqh. Part of Fiqh is knowing usury (Riba) or business transaction, the
difference between the two, what’s Haraam and what’s Halaal.
ZAAD AL-MUSTAQNI’
The usual classical work of the ‘Ulamaa in Fiqh, is they usually write, the giants of Fiqh, they
write a Matn ()ﻣﺘﻦ. A Matn is something very summarised and that’s what you have, Zaad
Al-Mustaqni’is a Matn. Then they would have to the Matn a Sharh ()ﺷﺮح, an explanation to
top of the explanation and the Matn. The term Hawaashi comes from when you write
outside the framework, when you take notes and jot them down, comments on the
Page | 3
boarders of the book or the writings within that book. But it doesn’t necessarily mean that,
but that’s where the word Hawaashi comes from.
So they have Matn which is super summarised, is very summarised text. Then they have
explanation which is Sharh and then they have Hawaashi which is commentary on the
explanation and the Matn. Zaad Al-Mustaqni’ is a Matn and the point of the Matn is to give
you a very summarised Fiqh opinions in the very simplest shortest ways and right to the
point. It’s very summarised and directly to the point. The rules and regulations of Siyaam are
covered, I believe what you have here is about five pages. That is the section on Siyaam
from Zaad al-Mustaqni’, yet the entire book that you have is about three hundred pages.
What I elaborate on or explain of this Zaad Al-Mustaqni’is what I learned from my
Shuyookh, may Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala grant them Firdaws as nearly most of them
passed away and died. The other parts are taken from Shurooh ( )ﺷﺮوحand Hawaashi that
Then you need to know that ‘Ulamaa usually or habitually start their Fiqh books, the
classical Fiqh books with the Fiqh of Ibaadaat, meaning worships. The Ibaadaat the
worships, like the pillars of Islam. Some of what we referred to as Fiqh of Ibaadaat are
physical, like Salah is physical, Siyaam is physical. It is classified as physical even though you
have to go by clothes to do your Salah, you have to spend money by clothes, you have to
pay your water bill by water to make your Wudhu for Salah. But those aspects are not at the
core of that Ibaadah, therefore is classified as a physical Ibaadah not a financial Ibaadah.
Some Ibaadaat are financial like Zakah, you may have to physically drive to get the money
and then pass it out but that’s not at the core of Ibaadah. So it is classified as a monetary or
financial Ibaadah. Some Ibaadaat are a combination between physical and financial like Hajj,
you have to do both. Both are at the core of Ibaadah of Hajj.
A side issue, the wisdom behind the diverse forms of Ibaadaat and the choices that Allah
gave us is that so one can enjoy his Ibaadah, so that you will elevate your rank in Jannah
with an Ibaadah you love. From the mercy of Allah is that not only does He want to do the
Ibaadah but he wants us to enjoy it while we do it. Some like to read Qur’an and prolong
their reading their Qur’an, day and night whatever they are. While others like to make
Sujood for hours at night, some people like to stand all night in their Qiyaam. Some can
make hundred Rak’aat a day, yet cannot spend a penny in Zakah, of course I am not talking
about the Fardh Zakah, the additional Zakah. Some are the opposite, they can spend
millions but they can’t do Nawaafil. So from the mercy of Allah is that He gave us Ibaadaat
to choose from. Some of it is that you have to deprive yourself of what you love like Siyaam,
you deprive yourself of food. Some of it you give what you love which is like Zakah you give
wealth. Allah gave us too many chooses to suit our desire and what we like of Ibaadaat.
Page | 4
The point is that all those that I mentioned are considered Ibaadaat and that’s what’s called
Fiqh Al-Ibaadaat. Fuqahaa’ start with those types of Ibaadaat in their Fiqh books. Then they
tend to proceed to Fiqh Al-Mu’amalaat after that, which is the Fiqh of dealings. Some of it
pertains to financial dealings with each other like borrowing, giving gifts, partnerships,
business transactions, all that is Fiqh Al-Mu’amalaat. Some of it pertains to marital
relationships like marriage, divorce. Some of it pertains to transgressions of people against
each other or against themselves, like drinking, fornications, accusations. Some of that
pertains to judicial laws, that’s all Fiqh. And some of it pertains to personal matters. So that
is all Fiqh.
THE AUTHOR
Our book here, Zaad Al-Mustaqni’ is a summary. The author is Sharafudeen Musa Ibn
Ahmad Al-Hajjawi, he died nine hundred and sixty-eight years after the Hijrah. This book is
not the work of the author Al Hajjawi. What Al Hajjaawi basically did was merely summarise
another book called Al Mughni. Al Mughni is by a more famous author that you all know of
and that is Muwaffaq al-Din Ibn Qudamah, he is the author of the original book. What Al
Hajjawi did here, he did nothing more than summarise that book by Ibn Qudamah. That
book by Ibn Qudamah is a more in-depth book on Fiqh. Zaad Al-Mustaqni’ is basically the
summarised version and it adopts the Hanbali opinions. It usually selects the major opinions
of the Hanbali Madhab, the authority opinions.
Since the author was in the ninth century, the Hijrah century, it’s considered more like the
authority opinions in the Hanbali Madhab. Because we have many ‘Ulamaa, we have many
opinions and overall the Madhahib that you know of are four Madhahib, but within these
Madhab, each Madhab there’s disputed opinions. That’s why those who blindly follow a
Madhab, saying: I am Hanbali, I am Maaliki, I am a strictly blind follower of this Madhab.
Well okay, when there is a dispute within your own Madhab, and there is and all the
Madhahib; which detour or rout do you take? I am not saying with the other Madhahib,
within your own Madhab.
Abu Yusuf and Mohammed Ibn Hassan first generations students of Abu Hanifah had many
opinions that were contrary to their Shaykh. You get questions sometimes: What did Imam
Ahmad say on this? I only follow what Imam Ahmad said. You follow Imam Ahmad with no
proof, you want that Hanbali opinions on that issue or the Maaliki opinion on that issue or
the Shafi’ee or Hanafi on that issue, with no regards to proof. The problem for you is many
issue within that Madhab was disputed, within that Madhab. That what’s within that
specific Madhab is that small circle, so imagine the dispute outside that circle with the other
Madhahib? That’s why the correct and safe route is to stick to proof. Of course there’s some
exemptions, you know someone who is illiterate, doesn’t read, write, no resources and
that’s more in-depth talk that we need to get in to. But we don’t neglect ‘Ulamaa’s opinions,
that’s why we study their books. But when it boils down to it, it’s the proof that we go by.
Page | 5
THE POPULARITY OF THE BOOK
Next point that I want to talk about is this book, this particular book gained worldwide
acceptance over the past centuries and actually today is probably among the most popular
widespread summarised Matn in the Hanbali Madhab. The book is considered by as I
mentioned, as a reference and what the official Hanbali Madhab settled on. Even though
that is open to discussion and dispute. Many ‘Ulamaa have explanation on this book, both
classical and contemporary. Some actually tried to make this book into poetry, to make it
easier for Talabatul-‘Ilm to memorise. Many encouraging memorising this Matn.
to make these classes like Khawaatir, meaning they will be short, so it will not take away
from your Ibaadah, that way you can combine between Ibaadah which is what should
occupy most of your time and this Ramadhaan and a little bit of ‘Ilm. Study of ‘Ilm is Ibaadah
with the correct intention, it becomes Ibaadah as we pointed it out. It’s true some ‘Ulamaa
used to cancel the classes during Ramadhaan while others continued to teach during
Ramadhaan. There’s no Sunnah foundation to say in Ramadhaan we do not have Halaqaat,
it’s more of a matter of personal preference. The emphasis of course should be on Qur’an
and worship in the month of Qur’an.
However, realistically speaking we don’t really read Qur’an twenty-four seven during
Ramadhaan and one needs to change his Ibaadaat habits during Ramadhaan to avoid
boredom and to reactivate one and to do more Ibaadaat. So any deeds completed in
Ramadhaan gets you multiple folds in reward, then if you were to do it outside of
Ramadhaan. Because of the sacredness of the month and possibly part of that, that you get
multiple folds of reward in is the study of ‘Ilm.
Let me say, I do not suggest using your time trying to memorise this book, especially in
Ramadhaan or even the chapter on fasting that we going to Inshaa Allah cover. Spend your
time with Qur’an in this month and if you don’t have the Qur’an memorised completely,
don’t even start memorising this book. Spend your time memorising the Qur’an and at the
Page | 6
sometime understand this very, very, very well. After you completed the Qur’an and
memorised the Qur’an, then you start memorising Usool Ath-Thalaathah and books like this
and other books as well. I met some who Wallahil-‘Adheem don’t know Arabic nor have
they finished maybe two to three Juzz, yet the sit and memorising Mutoon that they don’t
understand. That’s complete ignorance and a wrong strategy in seeking ‘Ilm. Allah will not
instruct you to recite Zaad Al-Mustaqni’ and Usool Ath-Thalaathah and ascend to Jannah, He
will tell you that about the Qur’an. However you have to understand this stuff. But
memorising takes much longer time and that time if you do not know the Qur’an, is
something you should be spending memorising the Qur’an. Some of this, like I said is Fardh
‘Ayn for you to know, to understand and to know the ruling. The benefit however of
memorising a book like this is that you have an outline of Fiqh in your mind.
We say to you – fasting, you automatically know the underline issues, the rulings, the
explanations, the explanations you studied with your Shaykh or later on that you will read,
they’ll all come back to your mind when you memorise Mutoon like this. It is as if you have a
Fiqh index in your mind. Or you memorised Usool Ath-Thalaathah is like you have Tawheed
index in your mind. If you don’t memorise it, it is not a problem at all just make sure you
have a complete understanding of the issues that are mentioned.
Those of you who memorised the Qur’an and I know will memorise this and have
memorised Usool Ath-Thalaathah, you’ll going to find that this is slightly more difficult than
Al-Usool Ath-Thalaathah.
When I was a child for example, the looming conflict back then was the Madhab issue. I
recall discussion as a kid among families and my father was involved in them, is how are we
going to accept this person to marry our daughter when he is a Shaafi’ee and we are
Maaliki? My father always taught me that the foundation is the proof with love and respect
to our ‘Ulamaa and their explanations. Just because we don’t blind follow the ‘Ulamaa, it
does not diminish the love and respect we have for them and their opinions. We most
definitely need the understanding of the ‘Ulamaa, that’s why we are studying this book and
books like this. But our ultimate goal and the bottom line that we are obligated to go by is
the proof as they, every single one of them said and taught us and wrote in their books.
Page | 7
This book is a Hanbali book, but had we had before us a Shaafi’ee or Maaliki or Hanafi, I
would teach it the same exact way. I would like to teach Muwatta Maalik one day Inshaa
Allah, which is on the Madhab of Imam Maalik. And if I were to teach that book, the
opinions you learn throughout this Hanbali book would be exactly what I would be teaching
in the Maaliki book. Meaning the substantive issues and conclusions on Fiqh matters would
be the same on every issue. We would be mentioning the same issues, same underlying
issues, subjecting them to proof and selecting what the proof backs, based on what the
‘Ulamaa, the Muhaqqiqeen of ‘Ulamaa went through and analysed and summarised for us
and selected for us.
You will see many times in this book we will mention, if we get through it Inshaa Allah, that
the opinion the author chose turns out to be the weakest opinion. Or that theres several
opinions within the Hanbali Madhab or how the Hanabilah, the Imams of the Hanabilah
Madhab responded to opinions within their own Madhab. Or it maybe, yes they adopted
Hanbali Madhab or even the adopted opinions of Imam Ahmad himself, but other ‘Ulamaa
like Maalik or Abu Hanifah or ash-Shaafi’ee were the ones who were correcting that issue. In
fact Ibn Taymiyyah is considered Hanbali Imaam. Some accuse him of being a hardcore
Hanbali, and they say, “Look, Ibn Taymiyyah was a Hanbali, why are you not following a
Madhab?” If you are the type of Hanbali that Ibn Taymiyyah was, we would have no
problem at all.
Do you know that in the first section of Fiqh, which is purification, purification comes before
Salah, it’s usually the first section of Fiqh book. It’s a very small section, an initial section
introduction to Salah: Purification and Tahaarah. Before you start on Salah they mention
purification. In a personal study I did years ago, Ibn Taymiyyah the Hanbali disagreed with
the Hanbali Madhab on one forth or one fifth of the issues in that section itself. Is that blind
following? That’s just in the first subsection of Fiqh, he disagreed with his own Madhab on
one forth or one fifth of the issue. You will see much of his disagreement with the Hanbali
Madhab in this book. In fact you will see writings of Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimahullah the
Hanbali that they say the Hanbali, where he sided with some of Imaam Maalik’s Fiqh issues,
not Fiqh issues but even in Usool and namely one of them is ‘Amala Ahlul-Madina.
The book is like an outline or an index that we go out from, some of the opinions in it is
correct opinions and some of the opinions of the other ‘Ulamaa are the correct ones, and
Inshaa Allah we will go through it sentence by sentence. In fact some of the opinions like I
said was corrected by the Hanabilah themselves.

The chapter on fasting. Kitaab ( )ﻛﺘﺎبmeans the book, the book because in reality this is a
book on fasting. This could be an independent book on fasting, that’s how Fuqahaa’ used to
break down their chapter. Kitaab is like a chapter – Kitaab as-Salah, Kitaab as-Siyaam, Kitaab
Al-Hajj (the chapter on Salah, the chapter on Siyaam, the chapter on Hajj and so on). Now
under Kitaab ()ﻛﺘﺎب, if they needed a subsection under Kitaab, it would be referred to as
Baab ()ﺑﺎب. Kitaab at-Tahaarah (the chapter on Taharah), then they’ll talk about
purification. Under the book on Tahaarah (purification), they’ll have Baab an-Niyyah, Baab
al-Maa’ (the water), Baab al-Wudhu, Baab al-Ghusl. So under Kitaab, if there is a more
detailed subsection needed it will be called Baab. If there is more subsections needed under
Baad, they will referred to it as Fasl ()ﻓﺼﻞ. So it’s Kitaab, Baab and then Fasl – that’s usually
Here the author mentions Kitaab as-Siyaam. Kitaab as-Siyaam means everything you need to
know about Siyaam, The Book on Siyaam. Under Kitaab As-Siyaam, he mentions five
subsections, and each is considered Baab. The first one that he mentions and so you get an
overall of what we are studying, the first section is how Ramadhaan starts, meaning the
sighting, how it starts and ends. The moon, the crescent, who must fast, who is exempted
and the intention. Then the second Baab is what void fast when someone must do a
Kaffarah and under that is a subsection (Fasl) on sexual intercourse during Ramadhaan.
Then the third Baab is what is disliked and what is Sunnah during your fast and the ruling on
making up fasting. Then the forth one is Baab of fasting, non obligatory fasting, the Sunnah
type of fasting. The fifth Baab is on I’tikaaf.
This book Zaad al-Mustaqni’ is a comprehensive book on all Fiqh, like I said. You can actually
take out sections like Kitaab as-Salah and it will be as if it is an independent book on either
Salah or Sawm, whichever section you take out. What we are doing now is teaching the
section on fasting and it is all Kitaab if you take the fasting section out, it like we are doing
an independent book on fasting.
This is a very brief introduction and I think I went over time already and each issue I
mentioned today is really worthy of several lectures, but I kept it brief to coincide with the
fact that is Ramadhaan so we can attempt to finish this book in Ramadhaan Inshaa Allah.
Each point I mentioned today is worthy of several talks or at least one talk but it is very
summarised here. I don’t want you to get the idea that I spoke about everything in detail,
for example; the issue of blind following of the Madhahib and our love and respect for
‘Ulamaa, that needs a few talks in itself. Actually it has many details to it. The importance of
Page | 9
sticking to the classical work of the ‘Ulamaa, that’s worthy of a talk. The point about what
Fiqh is and how the ‘Ulamaa structured their Fiqh books and the mother books on Fiqh,
that’s worthy of several talks. That’s just a short summary that I gave to coincide with the
time that we have. Tomorrow will start with the first sentence of this book. You need to
bring it and follow along, so you won’t get lost.
CLASS TWO
This is our second class on the explanation on the Fiqh book Zaad al-Mustaqni’ – the Siyaam
section. We left off yesterday talking about how Fiqh books are organised. We said where
we left off is that, they usually name their chapters Kitaab like what we are doing here
Kitaab as-Siyaam. The subsections under Kitaab would be Baab, then if they need
subsections under Baab, it will be called Fasl. That’s where we left off.
The next point you need to know is usually Fiqh books go in the order of the of the well
known Hadith Jibril alayhi salam in Bukhari and other books of Hadith, they also go by
narration of the Hadith of Ibn Umar on the pillars of Islam. What do I mean? I mean they
start the Fiqh books with of course, for example Salah and the prerequisites of Salah before
that like purification. Then they move on Zakaah, then they move on to Siyaam, then they
move on to Hajj or Hajj then Siyaam. A unique thing Ibn Umar like I said he has these Hadith
radhiallahu ‘anhuma, he narrated some of these Hadith and he narrated from the
Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam where he mentioned the pillars and he mentioned
Hajj and then Siyaam, and in another he mentioned Siyaam and then Hajj. One time Ibn
Umar radhiallahu ‘anhuma was teaching the Hadith and he said the pillars of Islam and he
stated fasting then Hajj in that order. So a man stood up and corrected him, he said: “Ibn
Umar, no it’s Hajj and then fasting.” Ibn Umar radhiallahu ‘anhuma said: “it’s fasting then
Hajj. That’s how I heard it from the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.” How did Ibn
Umar radhiallahu ‘anhuma correct this man in that way, when he himself Ibn Umar has
another authentic narration stating the opposite order, like what the man said?
Now here what An-Nawawi Sharh Muslim said: “ It appears to me that Ibn Umar radhiallahu
‘anhuma heard it from the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam twice with different
orders, one with Hajj and then fasting, one with fasting and then Hajj. So what Ibn Umar was
telling that man is that what I mentioned, the order that I mentioned is correct: Siyaam and
then Hajj is correct. It’s not that Ibn Umar radhiallahu ‘anhuma was telling the man that
your version is wrong, he is just saying: what I said is correct and that’s how I heard it from
the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam. I said like I heard it from the Messenger
sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, just to show the man that there is another narration.
That happens a lot, it happened actually in our Tawheed class. You give a lecture, you
mention a Hadith and it has more than one narrations. A student of knowledge may not be
familiar with the many narrations, so someone, a Shaykh may mention a Hadith in a
Page | 10
different narration and he gets corrected, thinking by that young person that’s the only
Hadith. Sometimes it happened in Salah where the Imaam is reading in a different Qiraa’ah
and he gets corrected. They don’t know that he is reading in a different Qiraa’ah. That I say
that because that’s basically what An-Nawawi was saying that, that happened to Ibn Umar. Ibn
Umar was not denying the other narration, what he was doing is that he was informing the man that
what I said is also correct.
A second scenario that An-Nawawi said that Ibn Umar radhiallahu ‘anhuma possibly heard
both narrations from the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam taught them, but when he
was talking to this man, he must have forgotten about the other narration. Bukhari in his
book, Sahih Bukhari, he mentions Hajj and then fasting and that’s for one of two reasons
and possibly both reasons reasons together. Why did he mention Hajj then fasting? He
possibly used one of Ibn Umar’s narrations of Hajj and then fasting, that’s one reasons.
Another reason is that because Hajj has more of a severe warning for those who abandon
and leaving it, more than fasting. And that’s another reason that he may have mentioned
Hajj before fasting, for his reason of mentioning Hajj before fasting. Having said that, the
order does not diminish the importance of fasting or Hajj, they’re both important, they’re
essential and they’re both pillars of Islam.

WHAT IS FASTING?
The definition of fasting is the first thing that we will start off with. Lisan al-Arab
linguistically, figuratively speaking it’s to abstain like Maryam alayhis salaam said:
It’s to abstain from anything. Maryam said “I’m going to vow to abstain”, what are you going
to vow to abstain from? she said I am going to abstain; she meant from talking. How do we
know she meant from talking, when she mentioned in her first sentence “I’m going to
abstain, I vow to abstain”? Following sentence says:
Page | 11
ِ ِﻓَـﻠَﻦ أُ َﻛﻠﱢﻢ اﻟْﻴـﻮم إ
ﻧﺴﻴﺎ ََْ َ ْ
I vow not to speak to anyone. That explains what she abstains from. The Arabs used to say
Saam al-Faras (اﻟﻔﺮس )ﺻﺎمmeaning the camel or the horse would abstain from eating or
drinking or moving.
Ibn Qutayba said: everyone who abstains from eating or talking or walking is considered
fasting, in the linguistic sense.
Now that is a linguistic but what’s more important, what’s essential to us is the Shar'ee
meaning, the Shar’ee definition of what fasting is. If you open the books of Fiqh have
numerous versions of what the definition of fasting is. Among two popular ones that I’ve
chosen is; to worship Allah by abstaining from eating, drinking and other matters that voids
your fast, from predawn to sunset. Or in another definition which is in the reference book,
the Fiqh reference book Muntaha al-Iradat Ibn al-Najjar; he said, fasting is to abstain with
the intention from specified matters, for specified time, by a specified person.
Number one reason is; you need the intention is to distinguish between worships and
traditions. Abstaining from food and water for the sake of Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala is
different than abstaining from food because one has a fever or too sick to eat or someone
who is trying to go on a diet and lose weight. One who takes a shower in the summer to cool
off is different than from one who has the intention to take a shower for the sake of Allah to
purify himself from the major impurity, whether from intercourse or a woman has finished
her menstrual cycle. The intention differentiates between what worship is and a tradition is.
Is your intention to gain nearness to Allah by doing the act that He taught you.
The second reason is; to distinguish between worship themselves. Not only between
worship and traditions as the first one, but between worships themselves. Dhuhr is four Asr
is four, how do you know the difference? The intention. When you are traveling, Fajr is two,
Page | 12
if you are going to shorten Dhuhr is two, Asr is two and Ishaa is two you got four Salah that
is two Rak’aat each. What differentiates between those? The intention.
The proof for the intention is from the Qur’an the Sunnah and the Ijmaa’.
ِِ ِ ِ
َ َوَﻣﺎ أُﻣ ُﺮوا إِﱠﻻ ﻟﻴَـ ْﻌﺒُ ُﺪوا اﻟﻠﱠ َـﻪ ُﻣ ْﺨﻠﺼ
َ ﻴﻦ ﻟَﻪُ اﻟ ﱢﺪ
﴾٥ : ﴿اﻟﺒﻴﻨﺔ...ﻳﻦ
And they were commanded not, but that they should worship Allah, and worship none but
Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing partners to Him). (Surat al-Bayyinah: 5)
The intention is also proven by Ijmaa’; when we say Ijmaa’, you are going to hear a lot in
our class. It means the consensus of the Sahaabah or the ‘Ulamaa, and the Ijmaa’ is the
source of proof for Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama’ah.
According the definition that we mentioned, intentions are only part of fasting. Then you
got to follow it by something else, which is his second statement; from specified matters.
Intention then you, then you got to refrain, abstain from specified matters. Those matters
are eating, drinking, sexual relationship and other matters that voids the fast which we will
study in this book.Then the definition goes on to say: for a specified time, the Sharee'ah
specifies the time. Me and you can’t just sit and make up when we going to fast from when.
It’s from predawn also known as the second the second Fajr, the Fajr ath-Thaani ( ﻓﺠﺮ
)اﻟﺜﺎﻧﻲuntil sunset. By a specified person meaning an adult over the age of puberty, who is
sane, who is able, who is resident, if it is a woman it not on her menstrual cycle or post
needle bleeding, we will study all the Insha Allah.
Keep in mind that the Waajib aspect of fasting Ramadhaan maybe Waajib in Ramadhaan
and it maybe a Waajib outside of Ramadhaan. What do I mean by that? It’s a Waajib
Muslims in Ramadhaan, that’s the majority of the situation. But if someone is travelling or
someone was ill or a woman on her menstrual cycle, the Ramadhaan days of fasting
becomes outside of Ramadhaan of the month of Ramadhaan. That’s the definition of
fasting.
Now Ramadhaan is Waajib and it’s proven by the Qur’an, Sunnah and from Ijmaa’.
ﺐ ِ

The Kaaf ( )كin the Kamaa (ﻛ َﻤﺎ
َ ) is to liken to something else. Fasting is not a our specialty of
the Ummah of Muhammad sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, it was prescribed upon those Umam
before use. Some ‘Ulamaa said it means the Christians and the Jews, but the more correct
opinion is keep the meaning of the verse general as the verse is. So fasting is imposed or
was imposed on the Umam before us, all of them, and that among them is the Jews and the
Christians. Because the verse is general.
Page | 14
Another proof from the Qur’an:
So whoever of you is present at his home, meaning he is not a traveler, must observe the
fasting of that month. The month, he must observe of that month which in Arabic is:
ﻓَ َﻤ ْﻦ َﺷ ِﻬ َﺪ ِﻣ ْﻨ ُﻜ ُﻢ اﻟ ﱠ
ﺸ ْﻬ َﺮ
ال ﻟﻠﻌﮭد اﻻزھرﯾﮫ
Al ( )الThe month in the verse means the month that you know, the month that you know
that we are talking about, the month of Ramadhaan. You know what month it is. That’s
what it means and in Arabic grammar that Al ( )الthe , is called Al ilil 'ahdi thi thihrihi ( ال
)اﻻزﻫﺮﻳﻪ ﻟﻠﻌﻬﺪ.
ُﺼ ْﻤﻪ
ُ َﻓَـﻠْﻴ
Means, that’s an order and an order means you must accept, and you must follow, and
adhere.
From the Sunnah the proof is for example, from the many Ahaadith on the pillars of Islam.
That proves is Waajib or the Bedouin who came to the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam and asked him about the obligations of Islam and the the Messenger sallallahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam told him, fasting Ramadhaan is one of them. There is, in addition to that there is a
Hadith to show the great reward for fasting.
We spoke about that last year, in the series of last year, so there is no need to go over it. Or
there is another Hadith:
Page | 15
واﻟﺼﻴﺎم ﺟﻨﺔ
Fasting is a shield. I remember that I spoke on that. These are Ahaadith also in addition to
Hadith, to show that it’s Waajib. These are Ahaadith to show the great reward for fasting.
One can retrain and narrow down the passages of Shaytaan by controlling his food. When
one doesn't retrain his eating and drinking, the body reclines to desires. That’s why the
scholars said, “Whoever eats excessively, drinks excessively, sleeps excessively and will lose
plenty.” So that is how Ramadhaan is a Waajib in the Qur’an, Sunnah and Ijmaa’.
The first stage of fasting is, the obligatory fasting, is fasting ‘Ashoora. The second stage is
some said that is obligatory to fast three days every single month, but that’s a weak opinion.
The second stage in reality was when Ramadhaan became obligatory by choice, meaning
you either fast or you feed a poor person, is your choice. You can choose either way.
The wisdom behind giving the choice like that in that early stage, was to make it easier for
people to accept the obligation of fasting Ramadhaan.
The third stage or level, was when Ramadhaan became obligatory to fast on every single
person with no choice, there is no choice in it except those who are exempted and we will
study those who are exempted.
There is an issue in Usool Al Fiqh that I want to go over that pertains to this. Here we
mentioned three stages of fasting, ‘Ashoora, then Ramadhaan by choice, and Ramadhaan
without a choice, you have to fast it. So the Fardh of fasting Ramadhaan abrogated
‘Ashoora. When ‘Ashoora was abrogated by the fasting of Ramadhaan, that type of
abrogation in Usool Al Fiqh is considered abrogation from something that is easy to
something more difficult. Why I mentioned it? Some ‘Ulamaa denies this type of abrogation.
They said this doesn't even exist, but this is a prime example that it does exist. Allah
subhaanahu wa ta’aala abrogated ‘Ashoora and replaced it with fasting Ramadhaan, which
one is more difficult? Fasting Ramadhaan. ‘Ashore was once a year, one day a year and of
course if you want to tag on a day before or after it. That is ‘Ashoora. Now it been
Page | 16
abrogated by fasting not one day a year but twenty-nine or thirty days a year. The month,
the entire month. It went from something easy to something difficult. That is the first type
of abrogation.
The second type of abrogation in matters like this is something in similar matters, it’s not
more difficult nor is it something easier. I believe the best example would be changing the
Qiblah, changing the direction of the Qiblah. From Baitul Maqdis to Makkah. The effort in
me facing Baitul Maqdis or me facing Makkah is the same. So that’s an example why matters
were abrogated by something equivalent or similar to it.
The third form of abrogation is the opposite of the first one, abrogation from a difficult
matter to something much more easier or something easier. A good example of that is
standing firm in the face of the enemy in the battlefield. Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala
abrogated it to something easier, you have to stand in front of ten people.

Ramadan becomes obligatory when its moon is witnessed.
That’s the statement. The author wanted to point out to two things here. The first thing the
author wanted to point out here is Ramadhaan is Waajib or obligatory. The second thing
that it’s starts or it’s triggered by sighting of the moon, that’s how it starts. So let’s take the
first point that he wanted to teach us.
That Ramadhaan is Waajib or obligatory or a must; it’s a Waajib. Even though all Waajib are
obligatory, you have to do them, some of them are at different levels. Some Waajibs are at
the level of Rukn like a pillar, a Waajib that is a pillar. Some Waajib are at a slightly lesser
level. Those are usually Waajib that ‘Ulamaa may have disputed or may not be considered a
Page | 17
Rukn which is a pillar, even though they’re still a Waajib. So in Salah matters that are Rukn,
they’re Waajib, then there is other matter that are regular Waajib, both are Waajib. But one
was a Rukn, Waajib has a higher status than a regular Waajib. If you miss a Rukn a pillar that
is considered a Waajib, it’s more severe than missing a regular Waajib. Even though both
are Waajib.
So if the ‘Ulamaa say it’s Rukn of the Deen, it’s a pillar of the Deen. Note Rukn of the
“Deen”, it’s very difficult to find that ‘Ulamaa disputed that. If it is a Rukn of Ibaadah, a pillar
of Ibaadah it’s Waajib. Like it’s a Rukn of Salah, it’s maybe disputed like for example suratul
Fatiha in the Salah, it maybe disputed. Some of them are disputed and some of them are
not, like Rukoo’ and sujood are not disputed, the Fatiha is disputed. The point is that there
are many Waajib and they are all Waajib, you must do that. However the status of them is
slightly different at times. So now we know that fasting is Waajib.
The first category is Waajib due to a specified time, the example is Ramadhaan. And that’s
what the author means and he is referring to. A specific comes it becomes Waajib,
Ramadhaan comes it Waajib. This you will usually find under Kitaab As-Siyaam like what we
Page | 18
are studying today. That’s where you’ll find it in the books of Fiqh and they’ll tag possibly a
few issues about Sunnah Siyaam with it. That’s the first category.
The second Waajib category is the category for a reason like for a Kaffaarah (expiation), not
everyone fast two month for accidental killing. It depends on the reason for it to become
Waajib. Unlike the previous category where it depends on the timing, this one depends on
the reason. If the reason happens, you have to do it. Not everyone goes through the
circumstance, it may be Waajib for some and others. This is the Waajib fasting for a reason.
Where will I find this in the books of Fiqh? You will find this category of Waajib fasting under
not Kitaab As-Siyaam that we are studying, but under another Kitaab called al-Kafarat, The
chapter on expiation.
The third type of Waajib fasting is the one you make obligatory on yourself in which the
Shari’ah did not obligatory on you, and that’s what we call Al-Nadr or a Vow. O Allah I shall
fast one month if you give me a good spouse or O Allah I’ll fast a month if you let me pass
this exam. The Shar’i didn’t impose it on you, you imposed it on yourself. That’s actually
where we stopped off in our Tawheed class and we didn’t continue. This you’ll find it where
in the book of Fiqh? In the chapter of Vows of Al-Nadr.
This is something you should take good note on because it shows you not only the category
of fasting, but where to refer to them in the books of Fiqh.
CLASS THREE
This is our third Alhamdulillah on the explanation or elucidation of Zaad al-Mustaqni’,
yesterday we began with the first sentence. The first one was merely an introduction and
then yesterday we began with the first sentence.

Ramadhaan becomes obligatory when the moon is witness. Or more precisely worded when
its moon is witness, the moon of Ramadhaan. The author we said wanted to point out two
matters with this statement. The first one that Ramadhaan is obligatory, its Waajib and we
finished and completed that yesterday. The second point that the author wanted to teach
us in that statement is that Ramadhaan starts or is triggered by the sighting of the moon.
And that’s what we want to explain today.
A fourth explanation and that was an explanation by Mujaahid. Mujaahid said that
Ramadhaan is the name of Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala, that’s why he refused to call
Ramadhaan, Ramadhaan. He said, if you want to mention the month of Ramadhaan you
have to say The month of Ramadhaan. Then he went on to say that it is a special and a
unique month because it’s the honoured month that is mentioned in the Qur’an, there is no
other month of the month that we have that is mentioned in the Qur’an outside of
Ramadhaan. Now what Mujaahid said leads us to the next point.
Page | 20
The author said, fasting Ramadhaan is obligatory. He didn’t say fasting “The Month of
Ramadhaan" is obligatory. Has he been among the opinion that it is Haraam to say
Ramadhaan, he would have said “The Month of Ramadan” he didn’t use that, he used
Ramadan without the month.
The second opinion is that, it’s disliked to say Ramadhaan and some of it, the second
opinion actually split; some say it’s disliked and some say it’s Haraam. You can’t say
Ramadhaan, you just have to say The Month of Ramadhaan. And there is a split among this
group, some of them say it’s disliked and some of them it’s Haraam. And among those who
adopts this opinion like we said is Mujaahid and those who say it’s disliked was Ibn
Taymiyyah Rahimahullah, he was among those who follow this opinion. And Ibn Qudaamah
Rahimahullah partially adopted this opinion, he said if you speaking to people and your
speech indicates you mean The Month of Ramadhaan, then there’s no need to say The
Month. You can go straight forward and say Ramadhaan. if there is no indication in your talk
or in your writhing that you mean the month of Ramadhaan, then you should say The
Month of Ramadhaan, you should add The Month of Ramadhaan.
So according to Ibn Qudaamah, if I am giving a talk today and we are talking about fasting
and Ramadan, of course every time I mention Ramadhaan you know is the month of
Page | 21
Ramadhaan. So he said in a scenario like this I don’t have to keep saying The Month of
Ramadan, but if it is a sporadic talk it’s not related to Ramadhaan and I want to say
something about Ramadan where the other person won’t know that it’s the month of
Ramadhaan, he said I should add The Month of Ramadan to it. They used, their proof is the
Hadith: Don’t say Ramadhaan as it is the name of Allah, say what Allah said - The Month of
Ramadhaan. What that Hadith means what Allah said, say what Allah said:
Now that would be clear decisive proof, that Hadith that I just mentioned had it been
authentic. The only problem is weak and it’s not strong enough to be any kind of proof for
this for this opinion. The correct opinion is that saying Ramadhaan or The Month of
Ramadhaan is the same, because the Hadith used by them is weak, that’s the first point.
Second is the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in an authentic Hadith said
ﺑﺮؤﻳﺔ ِﻫﻼﻟِﻪ

By sighting the moon of Ramadhaan it becomes Waajib, Ramadhaan becomes Waajib.
Meaning he said by sighting it’s moon, the moon of what? The moon of Ramadhaan. To
indicate that Ramadhaan that Ramadhaan started. The author is trying to, like we said, draw
our attention with this statement to two points. The point that we covered yesterday, that
Ramadhaan is Waajib, and we finished that yesterday. Is that Ramadhaan is Waajib and we
finished that yesterday. The point today is that he is trying to show that Ramadhaan starts
by sighting the moon. The proof for sighting the moon id from the Qur’an, the Sunnah and
Ijmaa’.

is a resident, he is not travelling then he must observe fasting.
ﻮﻣﻮ
ُﺼ ُ َإِ َذا َرأَﻳْـﺘُ ُﻤﻮﻩُ ﻓ
Among the numerous Ahaadith that he indicated about the sighting of the moon. He said, if
you see Ramadhaan then fast. if you see it, meaning the moon of Ramadhaan. That
indicates that Ramadhaan started.
In Arabic and in the Ahaadith that we have, you going to see that they refer to the moon by
two terms, either Hilaal ( )ﻫﻼلor Qamar ()ﻗﻤﺮ. Both of the refer to them refer to the
moon. Hilaal in Arabic is the crescent, the new moon, the baby moon. In Arabic the term
Hilaal refers to moon when it’s three days or less old, that’s what Al Johari Rahimahullah
said and that’s what a larger group of the ‘Ulamaa adopt it. That if it is three days or less old
we call it Hilaal (crescent). After the third days, the fourth, fifth, sixth we call it Qamar which
is moon. There is a difference of opinions on this matter and the usage of these terms but
what I mentioned and what I stated was popular, widely accepted opinion, because it’s
widely accepted opinion not only by the linguistic ‘Ulamaa but also by the Fuqahaa'.
Now the author is saying Ramadhaan becomes Waajib upon the sighting of the Hilaal, the
new moon of Ramadhaan. We have a issue here upon the sighting, can you use binoculars
or telescopes or equipment similar to that to sight the moon? From the author’s statement
it’s sort of left broad it’s sighting, so if one uses binoculars or telescopes or similar means,
then it is permissible. However you cannot impose such means. You can’t impose the usage
of such equipment. Why is it permissible? Because it falls under the general term sighting,
because you’re using your eyes, its sighting.
Page | 23
Now what’s clear and what we don’t go by is calculations. It’s possible that they can
calculate the day the Hilaal starts, the new Hilaal starts. However the Shard’ was clear and
specified saying, that’s what we should stick to. It didn’t say calculate, Islam based it clearly
on sighting.
The issue is that this is a Ibaadah and our Sharee’ah did not tell us to use that means. In fact
it told us what precisely what means to use, we have to stick to it. This is a matter of
worship, we go strictly by that which was specified to us. our eloquent Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam who was given the miracles of Jawami’ al-Kalim, the miracle of stating
summarised sentences that contains comprehensive meaning, he said go by sighting. He
could have he was given the miracle of Jawami’ al-Kalim,he could have worded it in a way
that encompasses calculations, but he didn’t.
Some contemporary ‘Ulamaa that the proof for using calculation is in a Hadith. What Hadith
is this? They say, ok we can use calculations and there’s a part of a Hadith that says we can.
The Hadith goes like this;
“Do not fast until you see it(the moon), and do not stop your fasting until you see it(moon)
and you cannot see it due to cloudiness then work it out.”
That’s English translations of it. Their proof is that last statement right there: work it out.
The Hadith in Arabic goes like this:
ِ ِ
ُﻮﻣﻮا َﺣﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَـ َﺮْوﻩُ َوﻻَ ﺗُـ ْﻔﻄ ُﺮوا َﺣﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَـ َﺮْوﻩُ ﻓَِﺈ ْن ﻏُ ﱠﻢ َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ ُﻜ ْﻢ ﻓَﺎﻗْﺪ ُروا ﻟَﻪ
ُﺼ ُ َﻻَ ﺗ
They said Faqduru Lah (ﻟﻪ )ﻓﺎﻗﺪرواmeans calculate. Faqduru Lah which is translated in
English, I don’t know if any better translation than that, it not an accurate translation but it’s
close enough. They said Faqduru Lah means calculate, which in English translated as work it
out. However, Faqduru Lah in some narrations is left as Faqduru Lah, work it out and that’s
it, period that’s the end of the Hadith. Yet there is other narrations and numerous other
Page | 24
narrations that examples what Faqduru Lah means. It doesn’t mean to go by calculations, it
means to finish the month as thirty days, it means to finish Sha’baan as thirty days.
ِ ِ
َ ﻓَِﺈ ْن ﻏُ ﱠﻢ َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ ُﻜ ْﻢ ﻓَﺎﻗْﺪ ُروا ﺛَﻼَﺛ
ﻴﻦ
Work it out here in this Hadith, in this narration, it says work it out meaning count Sha’baan
as thirty. So it clearly defined what it means. In another narration:
ِ ﻓَِﺈ ْن ﻏُ ﱠﻢ َﻋﻠَ ْﻴ ُﻜ ْﻢ اﻟ ﱠ
َ ﺸ ْﻬ ُﺮ ﻓَـ ُﻌ ﱡﺪوا ﺛََﻼﺛ
ﻴﻦ
If it is cloudy then count it as thirty. So there’s other narrations that clearly define Faqduru
Lah, meaning finish the month of Sha’baan to its full, which is thirty days.
In fact Ibn Abbaas, Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Hajar and al-Baji narrated or stated that there’s an
Ijmaa’ that it is not permissible to declare Ramadhaan based on calculations. Because the
Hadith is clear, that we must base it on sighting. Calculation is much different like for
example using telescopes or equipment that makes the sighting easier Although you can’t
impose the usage of such equipment like we stated, you really can’t say it is Haraam. Why?
Because it falls under sighting. Some of the contemporary ‘Ulamaa that I studied with
Rahmatullahi ‘Alayhim, the sort of disliked it, some said it’s permissible. However is totally
different calculation, it falls under the name sighting. The equipment falls under sighting,
because it may help you sight the moon better. Whereas calculations it’s something totally
different; it’s called calculation. Worst case scenario, the usage of those equipment of
telescopes or whatever other similar equipment they have to sight the moon, it maybe
disliked. While Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn Abbaas, al-Baji and Ibn Hajar said it’s not permissible to
go by calculation and they said that’s by Ijmaa’ by consensus.

When you don’t see the moon on a clear night, you don’t see the moon, you happen not to
see the moon and he said it on a “clear night”, you don’t fast the following day. What this
statement says is that, if the moon is not seen on a clear night:
ﺻ ْﺤ ٍﻮ
َ ﻣﻊ
And he specified clear night, then the next day you are not allowed to fast. The next day is
not Ramadhaan and you’re not allowed to fast.
Keep in mind in Fiqh when I say, the night of the thirtieth it means it starts at Maghrib, our
day start at Maghrib. The twenty-ninth of Sha’baan after Maghrib turns to be the night of
the thirtieth. The first day of Ramadhaan starts at Maghrib the night before. That’s why we
start Taraweeh the night before, that’s why we don’t perform Taraweeh on the last night of
Ramadhaan. Because after Maghrib the last day of Ramadhaan, at Maghrib that’s when ‘Eid
starts. When it hits Maghrib, that Maghrib belongs to the following day. That’s why we start
our day, that why we start our Taraweeh before the first day of Ramadhaan.
Now that night right there, that’s the night we go out to seek and pursuit the moon. If the
sky is clear he says and you don’t see the moon, then the following day is the thirtieth of
Sha’baan and it is not the first day of Ramadhaan. You can’t and you shouldn’t fast it, so it’s
not Ramadhaan and you can’t fast it. The author said, if we don’t the Hilaal we wake up to a
non-fasting day. The author in that statement saying you wake up to a non-fasting day was
trying to deter from fasting the day, the thirtieth day of Sha’baan, because it’s what we call
the day of doubt. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam deterred from fasting, the day
of doubt, is either the day before Ramadhaan or two days before Ramadhaan. Either one or
two days before Ramadhaan. Now that leads us to the next point.
Page | 26
IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO FAST A DAY OR TWO BEFORE
RAMADHAAN?
Which are referred to as the days of doubt or the day of doubt. There’s opinions on that, the
first opinion is the Madhab of the Hanabilah and that it’s disliked, it’s Makrooh. It’s Makrooh
to fast the day or two before Ramadhaan. Why? What’s their proof? They took the proof,
which I’m going to mention in a second, they took the proof that deters from fasting a day
or two before Ramadhaan, the days of doubt to be Makrooh. To be disliked and not at the
level of Haraam, they took it to be Makrooh. That’s the first opinion.
The second opinion is by Asma Bint Abu Bakr and ‘Aishah radhiallahu 'anhuma said that you
can fast the day of doubt. The ‘Ulamaa got them and found them an excuse saying that they
must not have known about the Hadith that deter from fasting the day of doubt. They had
not heard of the Hadith or they did not know about.
The third opinion is that is Haraam to fast the day of doubt, not Makrooh but it’s Haraam.
What’s their proof on that? The first proof on that is a Hadith:
“None of you should fast a day or two before the beginning of the month. None of you
should fast the day or two before the beginning of the month of Ramadhaan.”
ﻣﻦ ﺻﺎم اﻟﻴﻮم اﻟﺬي ﻳﺸﻚ ﻓﻴﻪ ﻓﻘﺪ ﻋﺼﻰ أﺑﺎ اﻟﻘﺎﺳﻢ
In Sunan Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi, Ammaar says: Whoever observes fasting the day of
doubt has in fact disobeyed Abul Qaasim which is the Kunyah of the Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. That’s what the ‘Ulamaa said we take it to the level of Haraam. Because
first of all, it’s deterred by the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and then there’s a
strong firm statement by a Sahaabi. Such strong terms that they wouldn’t use it in a matter
that is disliked or Makrooh. It’s worded so strongly that is a matter severe and Haraam,
otherwise ‘Ammar would not have worded it like that.
Why are we not supposed to fast a day or two before Ramadhaan, the days of doubt?
What’s the wisdom behind that? Many ‘Ulamaa talked about it and some of them has
Page | 27
opinions on it, and one of those is a gate to close extremism in ‘Ibaadah. Because that may
lead if you fast a day or two as doubt, that may lead to people getting extreme in their
‘Ibaadah. That’s one opinion.
Other ‘Ulamaa said is to deter from imitating the people of the book, so Muslims would not
imitate the people of the book. How? Because the people of the book were at one time
obligated to fast certain days, what they did is they tagged on days of doubt to those regular
days that they were suppose to fast. So Islam came and said, don’t fast the days of doubt in
order not to be similar to the people of the book.
A third opinion is that some ‘Ulamaa said is to eliminate Waswaas by fasting the days of
doubt, just like we said earlier it may open the door to extremism in ‘Ibaadah. It’s opens the
door to the Waswasa of the Shaytaan, the whims of the Shaytaan. By prohibiting us from
fasting it close a very big gate of the Shaytaanic Waswaas.
Now having said that, there is an exception to fasting the days of doubt. That proteins to
fasting the a day or two before Ramadhaan, there’s an exception to that. In both Sahih Al
Bukhari and Muslim, the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
None of you should fast a day or two before the beginning of the month of Ramadhaan,
unless, and here is our point in this issue there is an exception, unless it’s a day on which
one is in the habit of fasting.
ٍ
ُﺼ ْﻤﻪ

Meaning the exception is, someone who has a voluntary fasting that happens to coincide
with that day, right before Ramadhaan, then go ahead and fast. For example, someone fast
every Mondays and Thursdays and the day before Ramadan turns out to be a Monday. He
always fasts Mondays and Thursdays, the day before Ramadhaan turns out to be Monday,
his intention of fasting is habitual of fasting Mondays and Thursdays. He’s not intended to
fast as the day of doubt, it just coincided that it is on that day, then he can go ahead and
fast.
For example, someone decided to fast all of Sha’baan, he wanted to fast the whole month.
Then he can continue fasting even to include the days of doubt.
Another example, someone has several days to make up for illness or travel or if she is a
woman she was on her menstrual cycle, she has days to make up. She left them to the very
end, and those day of doubt she has to use them or he has to use them to make up his days
of fasting. Because you suppose to make them up before the beginning of the next
Ramadhaan, then they can go ahead and fast. So those are exception.

The author here says:
ﺻ ْﺤ ٍﻮ
َ ﻣﻊ
There is a keyword in the statement of the author here. It appears from the statement the
author is saying, if it is a clear night, not a cloudy night. He said it’s clear Ma’a Sahwih means
it’s clear, and you can’t see the moon then you don’t fast the next day and it’s not
Ramadhaan next day. We complete the next day the thirtieth of Sha’baan and the following
day will be Ramadhaan. The word he said clear sky implies that if it not a clear sky there is
some other rule applies, and then some other rule will be taken to consideration. Which is
exactly what he meant and what ash-Shawakani Rahimahullah indicated as well. We’ll clear
up and mention and that issue tomorrow Bi'ithnillah Ta’aala.
CLASS FOUR
This is out fourth class on the explanation on the chapter on Siyaam, from the book Zaad al-
Mustaqni’. So far we left off yesterday, we discussed and we said there’s two means or
methods to know the start and the end of Ramadhaan. Not only Ramadhaan, it’s actually
our Islamic months. The first one is by sighting the moon, if you see the moon then the next
day is Ramadan or the new month. If not whether is clear or cloudy, we finish the month off
and we can’t see the moon, we finish the month off to thirty days then the following day is
the beginning of the new month. That’s all the methods that we follow that are backed by
proof and how Ramadhaan begins and ends.
However, we left off yesterday saying that, it’s appears that the author of this book is trying
to hint or make a distinction between when the sky is clear and when it’s cloudy. Why?
Where did we get that from? Where’s the hint at? The statement that we left of yesterday
said:
“If you go and sight the moon on a clear sky, a clear sky and you don’t see it, then you don't
fast the following day nor is it Ramadhaan.”
ٍ ﺻ ْﺤ
Which is a good statement, but he said Ma’a Sahwih (ﻮ َ )ﻣﻊ, he specified if the sky is
clear at night, you don’t see the moon you don’t fast the next day. That’s considered the
thirtieth day of Sha’baan, then the following day after that is the first day of Ramadhaan. It’s
clear, it’s to the point and it’s backed by proof.
Page | 29
Now our next sentence that we want to do today, is where there’s a problem.
ِ
ِ ِ ﺎﻫﺮ اﻟْﻤ ْﺬ َﻫ
ُﺻ ْﻮُﻣﻪ

ُ ﺐ ﻳَﺠ َ ُ َﺎل ُدوﻧﻪ ﻏَ ْﻴ ٌﻢ اَ ْو ﻗَـﺘَـ ٌﺮ ﻓﻈ
َ َوا ْن َﺣ
The author is saying, if you can’t see the moon on a cloudy night or there’s a sandstorm or
other reason, then the next day you must fast. He mentions in his statement, he said
Ghaymun (ﻢ
ٌ )ﻏَْﻴwhich means if it is cloudy and then he mentions Qatarrun ( )ﻗَـﺘَـ ٌﺮwhich is
something like a sandstorm.
Did we see the moon? The first means of how we learn the month begins, we didn’t see the
moon. Did we finish off Sha’baan thirty days? No. So why are we fasting then? It appears
like the author developed a third way of how Ramadhaan begins, and we said there’s only
two ways. This statement by the author is not accurate, even though a statement, scholarly
statement and a lot of ‘Ulamaa adopted it. But it is not accurate, and it’s not backed by
proof. In fact the proof goes against this statement. There are several opinions on this
matter, first two are the major and most important ones and the ones we need to know. Let
me repeat the issue before I discuss. Because if you don’t know the issue root, the underline
issue that we’re talking about, you’re not going to understand the opinions.
The twenty-ninth day of Sha’baan after Maghrib it’s the thirtieth night of Sha’baan, we
explained that. That’s the night we go out to look for the moon. We go out, it’s cloudy, it’s
foggy, there’s a sandstorm, there’s a barrier between us the moon somehow. The author
said since the sky is not clear, then we must fast the next day, even if we don’t sight the
moon. We didn’t sight the moon, we didn’t complete the month of thirty day, he said
because it’s not a clear sky, we have to fast the next day. Which is in reality the thirtieth day
of Sha’baan.
Now let’s go through the opinions. The First opinion, the overwhelming majority of the
‘Ulamaa. I say the overwhelming majority that means it’s beyond even the four Imams, it’s
more than that. Among them in this opinion is Abu Haneefah, Maalik, Shaafi’ee and one of
two opinions by the Hanbali Madhab. This is the correct opinion: If we don’t see the moon
on the twenty-ninth day which is the thirtieth night of Sha’baan, we don’t fast the following
day. We go and try sight the moon on the thirtieth night of Sha’baan, whether is cloudy,
whether is foggy, whether is rainy, whether there’s a sandstorm, whether is clear if we don’t
see the moon we don’t fast the next day that’s the end of it. The next day will be thirtieth
day of Sha’baan because we didn’t see the moon. Regardless the sky is clear or not and then
after the thirtieth day, it will be the first day of Ramadan after that. And Like I said, it
doesn’t matter whether the sky is clear or not clear we try seeing the moon. If we don’t see
it, then the following day is the thirtieth day of Sha’baan.
Page | 30
Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimahullah adopted this opinion and he said this is the opinion of the
Hanbali Madhab, he attributed that to the Hanbali Madhab. Even though like I told you that
some claim that this book is the authority on the Hanbali Madhab. Ibn Taymiyyah said in this
issue is that we don’t distinguish between a clear or unclear sky, and then he said there is
no foundation that Imam Ahmad distinguishes between a clear or unclear sky. I remember
maybe two decays or so ago I had a report that I had to do and I researched this matter, in
the mother books of the Hanbali Madhab. I really couldn’t find a clear statement by Imam
Ahmad himself saying that is Waajib to fast the thirtieth day of Sha’baan when it’s a cloudy
night.
Now what’s their opinions? Yes it’s the majority opinion. Keep in mind we don’t go by
majority opinion, just because it’s the majority opinion. In this matter they happened to be
correct, they happened to have strong proof. There’s many opinions in Fiqh where the
majority of the ‘Ulamaa take the wrong opinion and the minority are on the correct opinion.
However over here like we said the majority opinion is what the ‘Ulamaa stated and
mentioned.
What’s their proof? The first proof is what we took yesterday. These people are saying that
you are fasting the day of doubt and the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
So the second proof is the Hadith in Bukhari by ‘Ammar Ibn Yasir when he said, whoever fast
the day of doubt has disobeyed Abul Qaasim the Kunyah of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam, that’s the second proof. The third proof is in Bukhari and it says : If it is cloudy,
look at that, if it is cloudy and you can’t see the moon then complete the month thirty days.
Look how clear that Hadith is, this is solid, Bukhari, and it’s clear and it can’t be put in
anymore clear words in regards to this issue. Not only is it a day of doubt, like the first two
proofs that we mentioned, but it is actually going against this clear Hadith where the
Page | 31
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said if it is cloudy, complete the month of Sha’baan
for thirty days. Did the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam say, if it is cloudy go fast the
next day as the day of doubt? No, he said if it is cloudy complete the month thirty days,
clear.
Now the fourth proof is the majority of the ‘Ulamaa said the Hadith:
The fifth proof, the rule in Usool is that you don’t go from that which you are sure about in
Yaqeen to that which you are in doubt in. What are we sure about and what are we in doubt
in? We know for sure that we are in Sha’baan, we are for sure we are in Sha’baan. There’s
doubt, there’s a possibility tomorrow maybe Ramadhaan because the sky is cloudy. You
don’t leave that which you are sure in, which is the month of Sha’baan to that which you are
in doubt in. After we finish the thirtieth day then we are for sure done with Sha’baan and
Ramadhaan starts. That’s the first opinion, with their five proofs.
The second opinion is what the author adopted here and notice the first opinion is a Hanbali
Madhab opinion. And the second opinion is the Hanbali Madhab opinion, in fact like we said
this is considered by some an authority book on the Hanbali Madhab. This is like a final book
on the Hanbali Madhab in which the opinions are the adopted opinions on the Hanbali
Madhab. So those who blind follow the Hanbali Madhab, which one are you going to take?
There’s two opposite contradicting opinions within the Hanbali Madhab. If you are a blind
follower which one of the two opinions you take?
Now this is the opinion selected by the author. He is saying, if you don’t see the moon on
the twenty-ninth day which is the thirtieth night of Sha’baan, he said if it is cloudy, the cloud
prevents us from seeing the moon and it turns out to be cloudy, then we fast the next day.
They included in that not if it just cloudy in his statement in the book, he also stated if it is a
sandstorm. But also the Madhab, some of the scholars of the Madhab also stated if it is
foggy or someone supposedly in a cave and he can’t see the moon or someone is in prison
and he can’t see the moon, someone happens to be blindfolded they all fall under category.
They said what you do is you fast the thirtieth day of Sha’baan which in reality amounts like
we said to nothing more than fasting the day of doubt. If it turns out to be a day of
Page | 32
Ramadan they said then that’s good, you are in good shape. And if turns out not to be a day
of Ramadhaan then you got reward. That’s exactly what the day of doubt is.
What’s their proof? They didn’t come out and say we are going to fast the day of doubt.
They didn’t say that, but in reality their opinion means that. They also have proof because
these are ‘Ulamaa. Their proof over here is number one, if you can’t see the moon then
work it out, in Arabi is:
ِ
ُﻓَﺎﻗْﺪ ُروا ﻟَﻪ
And that was an issue and a different opinion that we already took. They went to the
linguistic definition of Faqduru Lah. Faqduru they looked it up linguistically, they said
Faqduru means limit or tighten or shorten. They said, the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam said if you don’t see the moon Faqduru Lah – shorten. So because it’s unclear, the sky
is cloudy, we will shorten. We will go to the linguistic definition and we will shorten
Sha’baan to be twenty-nine days. How do we respond to that? The response to that is very
simple. Even if we assume the linguistic definition is good, we will give you that. We will say
Faqduru Lah means to shorten or limit. We don’t need to resort to linguistic definitions
when the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam defined it in many other different
narrations. There are many Hadith that we went over already where the Messenger taught
us what Faqduru Lah means. It means to complete Sha’baan thirty days. There’s many other
Hadith where the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained that. That’s the first
proof.
The second that they use is actually a stronger proof. They said in Musnad Ahmad and
Sunan Abu Dawud, Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma on days when the sky would be cloudy, if
it is the thirtieth night of Sha’baan and it is cloudy, he would fast the following day. So their
opinion is supported by the action of Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma. Now to the response
to the action of Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma is, that the action of Ibn Umar radhiallahu
'anhuma goes against the Hadith he himself narrated. What’s that Hadith? The Hadith that I
mentioned you, the third one which is the third proof for the first opinion. If it is cloudy and
you can’t see the moon, then finish off Sha’baan as thirty days. The narrator of that Hadith
is on the authority of Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma, however Ibn Umar radhiallahu
'anhuma adopted the opinion to fast the day of, which will be defined as the day of doubt,
when it’s cloudy.
Take this rule, when there’s a conflict and you’ll see that a lot in Fiqh, when there’s a conflict
between a narrator’s action like here and his narration that he narrated, we go by what he
narrated. The precedence is to what he narrated, we go by what he narrated. In fact the
Sahaabah through their actions supported the narration of Ibn Umar, they didn’t support
the act of Ibn Umar. Through their method, they supported what Ibn Umar narrated. Ibn
Page | 33
Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma did it as a precaution. The ‘Ulamaa of the first opinion said, he is
not to be followed in a matter like this where there is clear proof against what he did. In fact
the proof is narrated by he himself. Just like Ibn Umar radhiallahu 'anhuma used to do
precaution in wash the inside of his eyes, which eventually resulted in the lost of his
eyesight toward the end of his life. The ‘Ulamaa don’t follow him on that, they don’t follow
him and do as a precaution and wash their inside of their eyes when the make Wudhu. So
he is not followed on this matter. In a matter like this, the ‘Ulamaa of the first opinion said,
we follow what he narrated not what he did. And if anyone claims to fast the day of doubt
when it’s cloudy, as a precaution they claim to fast the day of doubt on a cloudy night due to
precaution. Then the answer to that is, precaution in a matter like that is to leave that kind
of precaution. Precaution in a matter like that is to leave that sort of precaution.
We took two opinions, now the third opinion is also a weak opinion. They said it is
permissible or Sunnah to fast but it is not Fardh. The author in this book said is Fardh. The
third opinion said, no we will say it is not Fardh but rather is permissible or Sunnah.
The fourth opinion is they said is dislike but it is not Haraam. It is disliked but it is not
Haraam to fast it. That’s the, and we discussed already whether it’s dislike or Haraam to fast
the day of doubt.
Some said we go according to what the Imam Khaleefah state. Actually that’s in reality a
solution to many of our problems and problems like this. If there was a Khaleefah and he
declared and choice a certain opinion in matter like this, it is within his discretion and the
Ummah should obey him in matters like this. Now that’s the fifth opinion.
Some said we go back and check, we’ll go back two years and check. If the last two years
were thirty days and we fasted the last years thirty days and the year thirty days, we will
declare this year twenty-nine days. That’s some rational but that’s six opinions and the most
important ones is the first and the second because each one has proof.
SUMMARY
The correct opinion is that, it is Haraam, it is prohibited to fast the day before Ramadhaan
because you claim is cloudy and you are not sure the moon is there or not. You can’t fast
Page | 34
that day, that’s considered the day of doubt. We mentioned five proofs for the first opinion
and in the second opinion we responded to their proofs. We’ve stated there are strong
proof, the strongest proof is the action of Ibn Umar and we said we go by what Ibn Umar
narrated and not by what he did in a matter like this. In simple and clear terms the signs of
Ramadhaan start by sighting the moon, if we don’t see the moon we complete Sha’baan
thirty days regardless of whether the sky is cloudy or not. That right there is the summary of
what we took.

He is saying, it appeared from the Madhab that it is Waajib to fast if it is cloudy even if we
don’t sight the moon. The author himself here worded that end, that conclusion on this
matter in a very unusual way. He said:
ِ َﻇ
ِ ﺎﻫ ُﺮ اﻟ َْﻤ ْﺬ َﻫ
ﺐ
It’s apparent or seems apparent from the Madhab that you have to fast that. And it’s a
statement that he rarely uses; Dhahirul Madhab. The ‘Ulamaa said he worded it like this
because this as we said a summarised Matn, short, brief, and he can’t elaborate, this is not a
book to elaborate. So he wanted to indicate and hint that there’s a strong dissent on this
matter within the Madhab. So the author is basically in a way admitting to a dissent within
the own Madhab on this issue. Many tried to find excuses for the author and those who
follow this opinion, on making it obligatory to fast a day which in reality is defined as the day
of doubt when the sky is not clear. They tried to find excuses by saying, he didn’t mean or
they didn’t mean is Waajib that you must do. They just meant it’s recommended or it’s
permitted or it’s better, but they didn’t mean it’s Waajib. And the reason they tried to find
excuses, is because this is somewhat dangerous for ‘Ulamaa to declare a day of fasting to be
Waajib, when the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in reality considered it Haraam.
Page | 35
I have spent a little bit of time on this and elaborated on this because it’s good to see how
the ‘Ulamaa think and how they dispute. How they go back and forth with their proof. It’s
also a detailed matter on fasting, the day of doubt. When it’s cloudy that issue right there it
may be simple, it may seem clear actually when we look and analyse the proof but believe it
or not actually books written on this matter. Abu Ya'la wrote on it and ‘Abdil-Haadi did, Ibn
al-Jawzi in fact wrote about it too. So it’s important issue and it gets you to understand how
Fiqh is.
The scenarios like for example, I am leaving the Masjid or I am walking outside in the
daytime after Dhuhr or Asr and I see them, it’s possible. Does that twenty-ninth day that I
seen the moon on become the official day of Ramadhaan?
Do we say since I seen it during the day it was there the night before, yet we didn’t see it.
So in reality today marks the first day of Ramadhaan. That’s the scenario. So what do we
do? We abstain from food and water for the rest of the day in respect to Ramadhaan but
then we have to make it up after Ramadhaan, since we didn’t have the intention. That’s the
first scenario. Is that the correct way?
Do we say that moon that I seen belongs to the next day? The author is saying, that moon
that you’ve seen during the day means the following day is the first day of Ramadhaan.
You’ve seen the moon during the day, if it is night time we already the answer to that, but
we are saying if you seen it during the day. If you seen it during the day, the following day is
Ramadhaan. That moon even though you saw during the day, it’s to declare the following
day of the first day of Ramadhaan. If you see the moon on the twenty-ninth day of Sha’baan
Page | 36
during the day and we say the moon was there night before, that means you are on the
twenty-ninth day Sha’baan. You are saying that moon was there the night before, that
makes that month of Sha’baan twenty-eight days and we don’t have twenty-eight days in
our calendar. We only have twenty-nine and thirty days. That’s what the author was trying
to refute by his statement.
The overwhelming majority of the ‘Ulamaa and among them is the four Imams is that they
adopt the opinion that the author here selected. Whether you see the moon during the day
or after Maghrib of that night, then it’s to declare the following day the first day of
Ramadhaan. That’s the point that you have to understand. That’s the opinion of the four
Imams.
The second point is the overwhelming of the ‘Ulamaa with the slight depute. with the other
one it doesn’t have any dispute that I know but this one, the second point here has a slight
dispute. They said it doesn’t matter if it’s seen before noon or afternoon with the slight
dispute in that issue. So The bottom line is sighting the moon during the daylight hours of
the twenty-ninth day of Sha’baan, whether it’s noon or after noon or anytime during the
day or after Maghrib, means the following day after that is the first day of Ramadhaan.
There’s an important issue though, what if we seen it during the day after Dhuhr, after Asr.
Then after Maghrib we go and pursue it and look and see it, it vanishes, it’s not there? We
for some reason can’t see it no longer after Maghrib, we’ve seen it during the day but after
Maghrib, all night long we could no longer see it. The rule is we can’t continue to see it after
Maghrib, then it is as if we didn’t see it at all during the day. Meaning basically, that sighting
you’ve seen the day is cancelled. Why? Because we were directed to pursue and watch and
look at the moon after Maghrib. We were supposed to look at it and see it after Maghrib,
we didn’t see it after Maghrib. So that means a sighting that we go by, it’s not a Shar'ee
sighting that we go by. Because the considered sighting is the one that is after Maghrib. So if
we seen during the day and then after Maghrib we can no longer see it then that is as if we
didn’t see it during the day. The next day would be considered the thirtieth day of Sha’baan.
The author here should have worded the statement more carefully by saying, if we see
during the day and it’s still there after Maghrib, then it’s belongs to the next day. The next
day meaning, is the first day of Ramadhaan. H e should have added some kind of statement
saying, while its still seen after Maghreb because that’s a very important condition that the
‘Ulamaa mentioned.

CLASS FIVE
This is our fifth class on the explanation of Zaad al-Mustaqni’ and we spoke yesterday about
the moon sighting. And that if it is cloudy night or a clear night, it doesn’t really affect the
sighting. Meaning we go by sighting whether is cloudy or not, it doesn’t have no effect. If we
don’t see it on a clear or unclear sky, on a night where the sky is clear or unclear it doesn’t
matter. If we see it, the following day is Ramadhaan. If we don’t see it, then Sha’baan will
continue for thirty days, then the day after that is Ramadhaan. That in reality summarises
most of what we took yesterday. But a student of knowledge takes it in-depth and wants to
understand and think and see how the ‘Ulamaa think.

If the people of a town see the moon, everyone is obligated to fast. If a people of a country,
of a town see the moon everyone is obligated to fast. What he means is if a country officially
declares Ramadhaan by sighting the entire globe must follow along.
ﱠﺎس ُﻛﻠﱠ ُﻬ ُﻢ اﻟ ﱠ
ﺼ ْﻮ ُم َ ﻟَ ِﺰَم اﻟﻨ
If one country, that’s the meaning go what he is saying, declares the sighting; the official
sighting, everyone has to fast. That’s of course a very general statement and he didn't mean
to include when he said, everyone has to fast. He didn’t mean to include that a woman on
her menstrual cycle or seven year old boy or insane person must fast. What he meant is if a
country declares that it’s the beginning of Ramadan is official and they did it the proper way,
the world must follow along and declare Ramadhaan based on the sighting of that one
country. What’s not disputed here is that if a country sights the moon and it’s confirmed,
that entire country or vicinity must fast by Ijmaa’, there’s no dispute right there. There is not
dispute on that matter. You don’t need to say, oh I see the moon myself, you don’t
personally need to see the moon yourself. Because Allah said:
Page | 38
So whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadan i.e. is
present at his home), he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month. (Surat al-Baqarah: 185)
Whoever of you is present at his home and witnesses the month, he must fast. Look at that:
َﺷ ِﻬ َﺪ ِﻣﻨ ُﻜ ُﻢ اﻟ ﱠ
ﺸ ْﻬ َﺮ
Witnesses the month. Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala didn’t say you need to personally
witness the moon. He said if you witness the month, which is a difference. You fast if you
witness the month, meaning if a country declares it, if your vicinity declares it and they are
doing it the proper way you go along. You have no excuse to say, oh I didn’t personally see
the moon. There’s an Ijmaa’ of ‘Ulamaa that it is Waajib to fast Ramadhaan by the people
who reside in a country after it has been confirmed by credible witnesses in a credible way.
That’s clear there. There is also a near Ijmaa’ that close vicinities, nearby countries should
follow along with that country that has declared the sighting.
The first opinion is what the author adopts, the author adopted the opinion that if one
country confirmed the sighting of the moon, all other countries follow along in every part of
the globe with no exception. As long of course they hear about it, if they didn’t hear about it
that’s a different story. But if they hear about it, they should follow along.
The proof for that is in Sahih Muslim they said. What’s your proof? They said:
Page | 39
stating to fast Ramadhaan based on sighting is regardless of any boundaries or any
countries. As soon as one country officially declares it, then every other country follows
along. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam didn’t specify a continent or a country or a
certain areas, it was broad for everyone. That’s the first proof.
َوﻻ ﺗُـ ْﻔ ِﻄ ُﺮوا َﺣﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَـ َﺮْو ُﻩ، ﻮﻣﻮا َﺣﺘﱠﻰ ﺗَـ َﺮْو ُﻩ
ُﺼ ُ َﻻ ﺗ
Don’t fast until you see it, and don't break your fast until you see it; of course about the
moon. Again over here they are using the same rational, they say this is a statement that is
broad from the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and it is to the entire Ummah,
regardless of any boundaries or any countries. That’s the second proof.
Their third proof is to keep the Ummah united - unity. That method they said preserves
unity among the Muslim Ummah. Even though unity is not a goal within in itself. Especially
on the account of the truth, what we mean. If unity opposes the truth we don’t go by unity,
we go by what the truth is. In matters like this the ‘Ulamaa take unity into consideration,
especially when the issue at hand is backed by some proof. This opinion and it’s the official
Hanbali opinion and it’s the one the author adopted states, if one country sees the moon,
the entire globe follows along. And we mentioned their proof. They said the general
statement of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to sight the moon were for the entire
Ummah. That, according to them is even if there is distances between the countries.
Meaning not just Makkah and Madinah that are next to each other; meaning if it is in
Makkah and they declare it, then people in Andalus or in Africa if they get the news of that,
they should go and follow along. That’s the first opinion.
The second opinion is what Ibn Taymiyyah adopted and notice Ibn Taymiyyah is an Imam of
the Hanbali Madhab. The first opinion is a Hanbali Madhab and this is also opinion of Ibn
Taymiyyah who’s a Hanbali. Ibn Taymiyyah and the second opinion is that, when a country
sights the moon, it’s sufficient for that country. They don’t need to follow each other. So for
every country is its own sighting, every country has its own sighting. Meaning if they have in
Sham their own sighting and in Andalus they don’t have to follow along. Every country has
its own separate sighting. Of course, this second opinion is the opposite of the first opinion.
What’s your proof?
Number one:
The verse in the Qur’an Allah said, you must fast if you witness the month. We didn’t the
moon they said, our country did not sight the moon. Your country sighted the moon, our
country didn’t sight it. So we did not witness the month. That’s their first proof.
They also used their third proof Qiyaas (analogy). They said people throughout the globe, all
over the world they start their predawn and end their fast at sunset at different times. For
example, when it is Maghrib in one country and they’re breaking their fast, they’re maybe
preparing to fast in another country. So the analogy (Qiyaas) is because we accept the fact
that the world has different timing, when they start and when they end their fast. We
should accept the fact that within the world, there’s a difference in sighting of the moon.
Just like every country starts differently their predawn and their sunset, they also have the
right to Ramadhaan and end Ramadhaan and end Ramadhaan at different times.
Now, their fourth proof and it is actually their strongest proof. In ‘Ikrimah Rahimahullah
adopted this opinion because of this proof. He said, this is a Hadith:
Kuraib said, Um Fadl sent me to Mu’awiyah to do some errand for her in As-Sham. So he left
Madinah and headed to Ash-Sham. Kuraib said, when I got to Ash-Sham and completed
everything she asked me to do, I completed her errands. Then the new crescent of was
sighted while I was in Ash-Sham. He said, I saw and the people saw the new crescent on the
night of Friday. They’ve seen the new moon on the night of Friday. Then I came back to
Madinah, he ended what he had to do and he came back to Madinah. When he reached
Madinah Abdullah Ibn Abbaas asked them about the sighting of moon where he was at in
Ash-Sham.
He (Abdullah) said, did you see it? He (Kuraib) said, I’ve seen it on the night of Friday. Ibn
Abbaas said, you saw it on the night of Friday? He (Kuraib) said, yes I’ve seen it on the night
of Friday. They started the fast on Friday because you seen it on the night of Friday, then the
following day is the first day of Ramadhaan. Ibn Abbaas said, but we saw it on the night of
Saturday, meaning we didn’t see it on the night of Friday, we saw it on the night of
Page | 41
Saturday. Ibn Abbaas said, we’ll continue fasting until we have completed thirty days or we
see it. Kuraib then asked the follow up question to Ibn Abbaas, will you not be content or
happy or take the sighting of Mu’awiyah radhiallahu 'anhu and his companions? They’ve
seen it in Ash-Sham on the night of Friday, a day before Madinah . So the moon was there
Friday but you guys didn’t fast on Friday, there’s only one moon. Kuraib said to Ibn Abbaas,
shouldn’t we go by their sighting as well? Ibn Abbaas said no, Ibn Abbaas said no. Then, look
note and note how I am saying this, then Ibn Abbaas made a statement and he said, this is
what the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam enjoined upon us.
Kuraib was in Ash-Sham, they started their fast in As-Sham on Friday because they seen the
moon the night before. Ibn Abbaas was in Madinah, they started on Saturday because
they’ve seen the moon the night before. Ibn Abbaas said to Kuraib, we are not going to the
sighting of Mu’awiyah radhiallahu 'anhu. Ibn Abbaas can easily get up, give a speech and
say, we started late we missed a day. People of Ash-Sham has seen it for us, so we going to
go according to them. We were wrong we must follow Ash-Sham because they’ve seen it
before us. The moon is a moon, it’s only one moon, they’ve seen it the day before us so we
made a mistake. And After Ramadhaan everybody make up that one day that we made an
error on.
Ibn Abbaas said, No we are not going according to their sighting. Then he commented and
said, this is what the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam enjoined upon us. The point of
the Hadith is Ibn Abbaas is a Sahaabi and Ibn Abbaas did not go by the sighting of another
country which is Ash-Sham. That’s clear, that right there, that fact is clear. Ibn Abbaas
himself his Ijtihaad was that, Ash-Sham has their own sighting, we down here in Madinah
we have our own sighting.
Now the response to this proof is; first of all, it’s clear Ibn Abbaas adopts that every country
has their own sighting from the wording of the Hadith, that’s his Ijtihaad. The second thing
is, the key statement at the end he said “this is what the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam ordered or enjoined upon us”. When one reads it and he is overlooking the Hadith,
he assumes that the statement of Ibn Abbaas, “this is what the Messenger enjoined upon
us”, when you read that you assumes or you think that he means every country has its own
sighting. But what ash-Shawkani Rahimahullah and I find it very strong, ash-Shawkani and
others stated that, is that statement by Ibn Abbaas was referring to the statement of the
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, “Don’t fast until you see the moon, and don’t your
fast until you see the moon.” That’s what it was referring to. Ash-Shawkani said, Ibn Abbaas
didn’t mean by his statement “this is what the Messenger enjoined upon us”, he didn’t
mean that every country has its own sighting. He wasn’t saying that, that’s what the
Messenger enjoined upon us, that’s not what he was talking about. He meant that the
Messenger enjoined upon us that we don’t fast until we see the moon, and we don’t break
the fast until we see the moon. You understand the difference? And what the final
statement of Ibn Abbaas was referring to?
Page | 42
What it’s boils down to is, has the statement of Ibn Abbaas “this is what the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered or enjoined upon us” has it been referring to the
different sightings, has he said the Messenger enjoined upon us and he meant by that
statement that the Messenger enjoined upon us different sighting for different countries,
that would have pretty much ended the dispute in this matter. The different sightings for
different countries was a Ijtihaad by Ibn Abbaas radhiallahu ‘anhuma, that’s his personal
Ijtihaad. “This is what the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered or enjoined upon
us” means we go by sighting and we end by sighting. It meant something totally different.
Now there is a third opinion on this matter; if the Khaleefah orders something we go
according to what the Khaleefah ordered. That’s a correct opinion, in many like I said, in
many of these matters because the Khaleefah has a lot of discretion and a authority and the
Muslims should adhere to him in these matters. Also, not only is it the power of the
Khaleefah, there is also a Hadith indicates that:
The fourth opinion is that whoever gets the news anywhere and as you know back then the
news moved very slowly. Whoever gets the news anywhere, that a country has declared and
confirmed the sighting, everyone should follow along with that country as long as they get
the news about that. This is actually similar to the first opinion, in fact is actually in reality a
part of the first opinion but some ‘Ulamaa have it as an independent opinion.
CONCLUSION
The conclusion on this matter, matters like this are merely disputed, it’s a close dispute.
Both opinions, of the opinion of unification of sighting according to the first opinion and the
opposing opinion that each country has its own sighting as Ibn Abbaas radhiallahu ‘anhuma
stated; both of these opinions have giants of ‘Ilm that backs them. Not any ordinary people
but I am saying giants of ‘Ilm. In fact some of them have Sahaabah that backed them.
However personally I lean more towards the first opinion and that’s really ideal situation
and it’s backed by proof. When country declares the sighting, the ideal scenario is that the
world follows along. Why? Because that Hadith that points to fasting based on fasting are
general, there are broad, like we said and we mentioned the proof. When the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
Page | 43
ﻮﻣﻮا ﻟِ ُﺮْؤﻳَﺘِ ِﻪ
ُﺻ ُ
Fast to the sighting of them moon.
These are general statement to everyone, for everybody in every country. So once it’s
declared and confirmed in the proper way, then everyone follows along. Because these
statements are broad. The order to fast based on sighting down have boundaries restricting
them, that’s the issue here. That’s like the order to perform prayers, Allah in the Qur’an
said:
All these orders, perform your prayers, give your Zakah, don’t deal in usury or interest, don’t
go near adultery or fornication, all these orders - they apply to everyone everywhere. Do
you ever see anyone saying these orders apply to some people some places? This applies to
everyone everywhere in every country. And likewise, the Messenger’s order about sighting
should apply to everyone everywhere. They’re general, they’re broad we should keep them
as that.
Ibn Abbaas had his personal Ijtihaad, radhiallahu ‘anhuma. As I broke it down to you, he had
his opinion that every country had its own sighting. But ash-Shawkani Rahimahullah
responded to that and he said, the general proof of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam ordering everyone to fast indicates it’s for everyone and everywhere. This is the
Page | 44
wording of ash-Shawkani, once the moon is sighted in one place or one part of the world,
everyone must follow along and fast. If Masr declares it, the Arabian Peninsula and the rest
of the world should fast. If Makkah declares it, the rest of the world should fast. If in
Andalus they happened to confirm it the rest of the world follows along. Why? Because the
Hadith are general. The general Ahaadith and the fact that Ibn Abbaas radhiallahu ‘anhuma
statement was his opinion, it was his Ijtihaad not the statement of the Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam . With this we have concluded Alhamdulillah the first paragraph of your
Kitaab as-Siyaam. Tomorrow Inshaa Allah we beginning of the second paragraph.

‘Adlin, means in Arabic means credible, trustworthy.

Mukkalaf, means say over the age of puberty, even if it is a female he said. At the end of his
statement, the author said, even if it is a female. Once a person comes forth with these
qualities we observe the month of Ramadhaan, Ramadhaan starts. So long as it is an honest
trustworthy credible person, he comes forth and announces that he seen the moon or she
seen the moon, the Hilaal, then the start of Ramadhaan begins.
Page | 45
DO WE GO BY ONE PERSON’S SIGHTING EVEN IF HE WAS
WITH A GROUP WHO DID NOT SEE IT?
Let’s discuss some the issue that pertains to this matter. Let’s assume first of all that there
was a group, they went to the outskirt for the purpose of sighting the moon or just a
gathering or a picnic. They were in an area where they seen the moon. One of the people
there seen the moon, yet the others didn’t. Do we go by one person sighting, even though
he was with a group who didn’t see it? By the way going out to the outskirt to sight is an
abandoned Sunnah, so if you can do that in the future, it’s good to do that.
The answer to that is; yes we go by what one person said according to the Hanbali Madhab
and the majority opinion, even if the rest didn’t see it. Those who didn’t see it, they are not
ruling out that it wasn’t there, they just happened that they didn’t see it. Not seeing is not
ruling out there was a moon. They just happened not to see it. The one who was
trustworthy and happened to see it we take his word on that matter because the condition
applies to him; he is trustworthy, he is credible, he is Mukalaf, he is ‘Adlin, we take his word.
One who confirms the sighting in such matters, he is given president over those who didn’t
see it.
The second weaker opinion is that if one is in a group and he didn’t see it we don’t take his
testimony because it not likely that one out of the group who seen it and the others missed
it.
The correct opinion and strong opinion is that of the majority and included in them is the
Hanbali Madhab is that, and it what the author adopted is that; if we see, if one person see
the moon out of the group; he is just, credible the condition are there, we go by what he
said.
Page | 46
Islam; number one he has to be sane, number two over the age of puberty. That’s taken
from the Hadith the pen has been lifted from three.
Then next issue, the author said; is Mukallaf then he said ‘Adlin (ﻋ ْﺪ ٍل
َ ), it mean in English;
trustworthy, credible, just person. That’s what ‘Adlin means.
The Shar’ee Fiqh meaning for us and what’s essential for us, there is many definition, but
the comprehensive one and adopted by the majority of the ‘Ulamaa is it is very
comprehensive is; he is the one who does the ordains, refrains from the major sins and does
not persisted on minor sins. What do we mean by doing the ordains? Doing the ordains is
life a Fardh, like Salah. Doing the Salah, refraining from sins, is like fornication, murder,
adultery, but it is not only that, as some may assume. Spreading gossip among the two
Muslim, major sin. Backbiting is a major sin. If one is caught backbiting once and it
confirmed that he didn’t repent, that is a major sin and we don’t take the testimony until he
repents and fulfils the conditions of repentance.
Imam Ahmad has a higher status than this definition. He didn’t except the testimony of one
who was known not to perform his Witr Salah. He rejected someone testimony if he leaves
an essential Ibaadah. Essential Ibaadah like Witr is not obligatory but Imam Ahmad held
people at a higher standard. If you don’t do that I don’t except your testimony.
So do we take Imam Ahmad’s high scrutiny of who he except or testimony in matters like
this? The ‘Ulamaa of the Hanbali Madhab said no, because Imam Ahmad had a higher
standard in who is except their testimony, in financial matter. He rejected their testimony in
financial matters if they didn’t do Witr because it requires a higher scrutiny. Because in
Page | 47
financial dealings they incentive to lie whether for yourself or someone else. You may get a
gain out of it. There is a big incentive to lie. If you are testifying about yourself or to yourself,
you may gain something. If you testifying for someone different, you may also gain some
wealth out of it. In the sighting of the moon that is not the same, unless sometimes there
appear to be an incentive for one to gain by reporting the sighting of the moon then will
resort to the standard of Imam Ahmad. That would be like countries who even today they
may gave at times the reward for sighting the moon. That makes it an incentive for one to
lie. Unlike where someone will go and report and he doesn’t expect or get anything. So
there is an incentive we will resort to the definition or the method of Imam Ahmad went by.
Some ‘Ulamaa said; if we go by the original definition I mention, one who does the ordains,
and refrain from the major sins, he does not persist on minor sins, he said if we really, really,
go by that? There is no one who fits that category because everyone is a sinner. If we use
the scrutiny of Imam Ahmad, that’s even impossible. Why? Because everyone has a slip of a
tongue or he may have said something about someone backbit, Ilaa man rahimallah, that is
a major sin. And that diminishes credibility, then we can’t take his testimony.
Therefore the ‘Ulamaa said; an Imam or a Khaleefah or of course now in Islamic centres a
Shaykh, if you go to him with the sighting. They said; they can analysis the overall person the
credibility in circumstances surrounding that person to come with a decision as to whose
testimony is accepted and whether they will take his sighting. Because they said, Allah said:
ﺿ ْﻮ َن ِﻣ َﻦ اﻟ ﱡﺸ َﻬ َﺪ ِاء
َ ﺎن ِﻣ ﱠﻤ ْﻦ ﺗَـ ْﺮ

And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for
witnesses. (Surat al-Baqarah: 282)
Those who you accept or agree to as a witness. Meaning the definition I just mentioned is
just an overall general guideline or the judge or the Khaleefah or a Shaykh or someone in
their position has some discretion in whose testimony they accept.
Page | 48
matter. After they repented, they become credible and trustworthy. That’s as long as they
followed the rule of repentance.
Other Ulamaa defended the author here and said; when he is a credible person and
trustworthy, is included in that that he has to have strong eyesight. Because he is credible
trustworthy, he would never testify to that which he didn’t see. Therefore it’s included
under the term ‘Adlil (just, credible , and trustworthy).
The argument was then rebutted by saying; he may be credible, trustworthy, but his weak
eyesight may cause him to suspect or to see that which he didn’t see. And that has nothing
to do with the credible issue. So it must be an additional factor that the author should’ve
stated. Some contemporary ‘Ulamaa went to the extent, of contemporary that I studied
with, they said; they would reject the testimony of who wears glass. That may go to an
extreme because glass or contacts compensate for the loss of sight, Allahu A'lam, that may
be a little extreme.
Now what’s the proof that you need to have strong eyesight for matter like this. Is in the
story of Musa alayhi salaam. When Musa alayhi salaam went to the man of Madyan who
later became his father in law. One of the daughters of that man said:

Strong and trustworthy. She said those two factors, for the task that they needed him for;
trustworthy and strong.
Likewise the second factor we need for moon sighting is; trustworthy, yes. In addition to
trustworthy you need strong eyesight. Likewise additional proof ‘Ifreet the jinn who brought
the palace of the queen from Saba’ said:
The task that he sent out for needs two characteristics; he needs to be trustworthy and he
needs to be strong at the same time. So trustworthiness is not enough, because one must
have strong eyesight. Some said the author included it in being trustworthy, some said no
the author should have mentioned it separate.
According to this book and the Hanbali Madhab as well and the opinion of Imam Ahmad and
the selected opinions of Imam Ash-Shafi’ee and Ibn al-Mundhir and Tirmidhi and the people
of Kufaah and Nawawi and the saying of Umar and Ali and Ibn Umar, Ibn Mubarak and many
others, the opinion they’d adopted is; one. One person. Their proof for that is the Hadith in
Abu Dawud and others and is authenticated by Ibn Hibban, al-Haakimi, Ibn Hazm and
others; where Ibn Umar radiya Allahu anhuma said, the people went out to pursuit the
moon so I informed the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. That I have seen it. He said
the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam order that everyone fast. Based on the sighting of
Ibn Umar that everyone fast. This Hadith is not Sahih Muslim. Some disputed on its
authenticity but it is authentic. In fact a lot of the ‘Ulamaa compared the men of the chain
to that which is Sahih Muslim.
The second proof is the one in Sunan Abu Dawud on the authority of Ibn Abbaas radhiallahu
anhuma that a Bedouin came to the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and I told the
Messenger I sighted moon. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said do you testify la
ilaaha illallah, he said; yes I do. He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said; do you testify that the
Page | 50
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is the messenger of Allah, he said; yes. He said Bilal go
up and call that Ramadhaan has begun.
This Hadith of the Bedouin some ‘Ulamaa like Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hibban consider it
authentic, while others consider it weak or Mursal. I believe been weak and Mursal is the
stronger opinion. So it is somewhat weak. But the first one the one on Ibn Umar is not. But
these Hadith specified that one person was sufficient for Ramadhaan. The Messenger took
the word of Ibn Umar by himself to announce and declare Ramadhaan. That’s the first
opinion, that’s correct opinion.
The second opinion is by ‘Uqma radiya Allah ‘anhu, Maalik, al-Awza`i, al-Layth, and others
they said that and others, you need two for the start of Ramadhaan. Their proof is:
The rule is the Usool rule is; if there is a conflict among a specific Hadith and a general one,
we try to combine. If combining is not possible then we give president based on an
additional factor. Now what’s the additional factor in this situation that we in? the
additional factor that we’re in is that the is one Hadith Ibn Umar specific and one that is
Page | 51
general which is if two people come forward. The specific Hadith of the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in this issue is; excepting the testimony of Ibn Umar radiya Allahu
anhuma alone. Keep in mind that is not only general verses specific. The Hadith, the second
group you used, is not even clear on accepting two as a requirement. It just merely said “if”
two come forward. Those are the two opinions on how many are requested to declare
Ramadhaan, in the beginning of Ramadhan, and we said the correct opinion is one.
There is a unique third opinion. Some books of Fiqh don’t stated but it is unique. Abu
Haneefah said; during cloudy days we go by what the Hanabilah said; one is enough. If it’s a
clearly day we need more than one. It sounds inconsistent if you take it face value like that,
what on earth is Abu Haneefah Rahimahullah saying? But Abu Haneefah Rahimahullah said;
because if it is cloudy then it obvious not many are going to see it, so if one comes forth,
that’s you know, understandable and that is sufficient. On the other hand when it is a clear
day, there are many that are going to see it. So basically what he is trying to say is; I can’t
imagine one person seeing the moon on a clear day, therefore we need more than one.
While on a cloudy day, yes, because it’s cloudy. If one person comes, we’ll accept it.
َوﻟَ ْﻮ اُﻧْـﺜَﻰ
Even if it is a female. In attached to that or tagged along with that is a slave. Meaning don’t
get the impression that the author is saying, is only male. If a female reports the sighting of
the moon with the condition we stated, then we take her testimony. The issue, is that really
true? Can a woman or a slave testify to the reporting of the moon sighting. There is a
dispute and the dispute is; based on; does one informing of the sighting of the moon, fall
under, the Shahaadah or Iqbaar? A woman or a slave reporting of a matter, that is called
Iqbaar, that is something called reporting, which is not at the level of testimony. If a woman
or a slave for example, teachers a Hadith, is called reporting, that is called narrating. We
except it even if it is one, that is called Iqbaar, that is called reporting, that is called relating
information, that is called passing on information. That not testimony, we have examples
where a woman in the chains of Hadith, reporting a Hadith. No one ever said bring me a
Hadith two women for this chain.
Is sighting the moon Iqbaar? If it is then a woman and a slave can report it and we don’t
need any more than that. Now if it is considered testimony, which called in Arabi
Page | 52
Shahaadah, then a woman or a slave alone are not accepted. The scrutiny is higher, a
woman and a slave are not accepted.
Ibn Hazm, Imam Ahmad, Ash-Shafi’i in one or two opinions , they considered this Iqbaar,
reporting, testimony, relating information, so a woman and a slave and a male are at the
same in this matter. Just like if they were to relate or convey a Hadith.
Another matter pertaining to this is since this is Iqbaar, not Shahaadah, it’s reported,
conveying information not testimony, there is no need for the ruler to announce it. You can
fast based on by a credible person reporting, because it’s not testimony. Testimony must be
brought before a ruler or a judge to decide. Now however, these days due to the ignorance
in the moon sighting and its conditions, it should be presented to ‘Ulamaa to make sure the
conditions of the sighting were met. That is to avoid the Fitan and ignorance in this issue.
The point is though, since it’s considered Iqbaar relaying information, not testimony as we
said, it does not need the ruling of a ruler or a judge for one to except. You can go by the
sighting of one who sighted it if they are credible and over the age of puberty and sane.
َﻋ ْﺪ ٍل ُﻣ َﻜﻠَﻒ
A young boy is not Mukallaf – he is not obligated to do commands of Islam. He is under the
age. He is not obligated to do the commands of Islam. So the stronger of two opinions, is
rejecting the testimony of someone who’s under the age of puberty.

Ramadhaan. He said if we accept one for the start of Ramadhaan, then we should accept
one at the end of Ramadhaan. He used analogy, Qiyaas. The response to Abu Dhur
Rahimahulllah is that the proof on this matter is clear, there is no need for Ijtihaad. Qiyaas,
analogy is good when we don’t have proof. But on this matter we have proof. Tirmithi said
there is no dispute that the end of Ramadhaan and every other month other than the
beginning of Ramadan we need two to testify.
By the way, side issue, Abu Dhur Rahimahullah is not a simple scholar many have not heard
of him, but he is an ‘Aalim and he is actually at the status of Imam Maalik Rahimahullah in
‘Ilm. He is at the status and knowledge of Imam Maalik. However it was said; that is was the
faults of his students of his student that his knowledge didn’t spread because they didn’t
really preserve his knowledge and spread it and convey it and gather it. That is why
sometimes, the failure of ‘Ulamaa is from themselves, a lot of the times. Some get for
example get fed up with dealing with people and how people treat and they say; you what?
Why do I have to deal with this. Let me get a peaceful life, close my door and go on my own.
And sometimes it’s the students who are the failures. Failures in how? In preserving
knowledge. Failures for example in spreading their knowledge and gathering their
knowledge and helping the ‘Ulamaa. Like now for example, some are so stingy they
wouldn’t even retweet for an ‘Aalim that they study with, and they claim day and night, this
is an ‘Aalim that we study with. Spread his knowledge if you really , really believe that
person is a trustworthy ‘Aalim, spread his knowledge. You get Ajr for that, you preserve the
knowledge and Inshaa Allah it will stay the knowledge until judgment in one way or another,
stay until judgment day we get continue to get reward. Abu Dhur Rahimahullah was among
the unfortunate is the student’s failures who didn’t preserve knowledge, his knowledge and
help him. And that is why they said wasn’t as famous as Imam Maalik, even though they
were at the same status.
Back to the Ramadhaan issue, the only reason the ‘Ulamaa, exempted this situation of
having two to testify in the beginning of Ramadhaan is because there is a specific Hadith on
that. So they said; in the beginning of Ramadhaan what we need is one, while at the end of
Ramadhaan every other month, we need two.
CLASS SEVEN
We stopped off at the statement by the author and he said:
Page | 54
He combined between two issues, pay close attention. He said in this statement; there two
issues. And you got to go over this again and again, take good notice, pay attention and go
over them so we can understand.
If we fast based on the sighting of one man in the beginning of Ramadhaan and then at the
end of Ramadhaan we are on the thirtieth day and we don’t sight Ramadan. That is the first
issue.
The second issue, if we fast in the beginning of Ramadan based on the day of doubt,
remember we talked about that issue? According to the wrong opinion of this author that if
it’s cloudy we fast that day. He adopts that we should fast that day that amounts to in
reality the day of doubt if it’s cloudy, when we go for sighting. What we do at the end of
Ramadhaan, when there is no confirmative sighting, now we are at the end of Ramadhaan,
the is no confirmed sighting at the end of Ramadan and it’s those two scenarios that
Ramadan started with then what he is saying; if we are at the thirtieth day of Ramadan,
there is no sighting and Ramadan started off by the sighting of one person or started off on
the day of doubt, then he says; we continue on and fast thirty-one days.
First of all, let’s take it in detail. If two testified to the start of Ramadhaan and now we are
on the thirtieth day of the month, at the end of Ramadhaan, the next day is Eid and that is
agreed by the ‘Ulamaa. That is not even an issue, if Ramadhaan started with the testimony
of two. However the author makes a problem, and pay close attention to this; he is saying
over here, if one person testified and confirmed the sighting at the beginning of
Ramadhaan, he said the official Hanbali Madhab is that we fast the thirty-first day of
Ramadhaan, continue and fast the thirty-first day of Ramadhaan, and then the ‘Eid is after
that. Why? They based the decision of the end of Ramadhaan and how we end Ramadhaan
based on how Ramadhaan was initially confirmed. They based the decision of the end of
Ramadhaan on how Ramadan was initially confirmed. When there was no sighting at the
end of Ramadhaan, they went to how Ramadhaan was confirmed in the beginning. They
said must end by two witnesses.
Page | 55
Here at the of Ramadhaan is the thirtieth day, they said we should go on to fast thirty-one.
We don’t have any witnesses to testify. Why? They said if we end Ramadhaan at thirtieth,
we basically and reality are going based on the testimony of one man, that man, who is that
man? The man who testified in the start of Ramadhaan. We need two witnesses to end
Ramadhaan, they said if we say that this Ramadhaan completes at thirtieth day then, only
one testify to that. In reality we are taking the word of one man to the end of Ramadhaan.
The man who in reality testified to the start of Ramadhaan. We need two we don’t have
two, so what we’ll do is continue and we’ll fast thirty-one days. Basically they tied the end of
Ramadhaan to the sighting in the beginning. They said; we going to go for thirty-one days.
Why? Because we don’t have no sighting, we don’t have two witnesses and we can’t go by
thirty days because that means we take the testimony of one. Who is that one? The one
initially told us Ramadhaan started. That’s the opinion in the Hanbali Madhab.
Another opinion in the Hanbali Madhab the opinion of Imam Ahmad and this is the correct
one and it’s the opinion Ash-Shaafi’ee’i and Abu Haneefah. If it’s at thirty days, Ramadhaan
reaches thirty days we don’t have anyone sighting, we don’t have two witnesses then we
finish thirty days the next day is the ‘Eid. Which is the obvious simple answer. Simple easy
answer. We don’t go by that thirty-one day opinion. We don’t relate and tie that to
Ramadhaan to how Ramadhaan started, as the first opinion claims to do. There is no
relationship between the two. Why? We started Ramadhaan on the testimony of one in
according to the Sunnah of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. We did that, it’s over
and done with. Now we are at the end of Ramadhaan, there is a totally new procedure here.
The new procedure is how we end Ramadhaan it has nothing to do with the beginning of
Ramadhaan. We go seek the moon on the thirtieth night of Ramadhaan. If we don’t see it
we complete Ramadhaan thirty days, that’s the way we do it, it has nothing to do with how
Ramadhaan was confirmed in the beginning. This is clearly the correct, simple, easy
opinion.
The first opinion they in a way trying to tie the end of the Ramadhaan to the beginning.
They said, ok it’s the end of Ramadhaan we don’t have two witness if we say we’ll go by
thirty days that means we in reality took the word of that man in the beginning, the one
who confirmed the sighting. That is wrong and weak rational and many ‘Ulamaa responded
to that.
Page | 56
mentioned, where they said the beginning of Ramadhaan started with one man. Over here
they are saying; if Ramadhaan started because of fasting the day of doubt where the sky
wasn’t clear. Remember that’s the issue we discussed in which the author adopted the
wrong opinion of fasting when the sky is not clear, which we said is Haraam and that in
reality amounts to the day of doubt. Now he is basing in the end of Ramadhaan on that.
Let’s assume Ramadhaan started by fasting that day of doubt. What do we do? He said; we
fast thirty-one days just like the previous scenario. Why? He said because we were unsure.
They may be correct that they need to fast thirty-one days since the start of Ramadhaan
based on doubt and we said that’s the improper and even Haraam way to start. But this is
not a scenario we even deal with, this one, this statement of the author. It’s not even a
scenario we even deal with. Why? They should not have started Ramadhaan like we said
earlier based on fasting that day of doubt because they said; if it is unclear sky we are going
to start our fast. They shouldn’t even do that to start off with. The method used to start
Ramadhaan that they used was wrong. Now at the end of Ramadhaan like the previous
scenario, it doesn’t connect and tie to the beginning of Ramadhaan. You started Ramadhaan
wrong that’s the whole issue there. Now it’s the end of Ramadhaan, either we sight the
moon or complete thirty days without anything to do with the start of Ramadhaan. And
keep in mind like we said, this is not even a scenario that we shouldn’t we even be dealing
with because we said early on that the scenario of fasting the day when it’s cloudy, based on
doubt it’s a wrong opinion.
Let’s break that down. Someone sights the moon, he is alone. Somewhere in the world he is
alone he sight the moon, he must fast. Because we said for the beginning of Ramadan all
you need is one. He himself, one, he witness Ramadan, all you need is one, you start. That’s
the first one.
Or the author is saying, if one person sights the moon he goes to the Khaleefah, he goes to
the judge, he goes to the Shaykh, and they refused his testimony. Maybe he has credibility
Page | 57
issue, maybe the Shaykh or the judge rejected him for his eyesight or for any other reasons.
His rejected, he must begin to fast Ramadan on his own. For him Ramadhaan began.
So in summary, if a Muslim sees the moon on his own, he must fast. Whether it maybe he is
some part of the globe alone by himself, he’s travelling all by himself or the Shaykh, the
judge, the Khaleefah rejected his testimony and either scenario he sighted the moon, he
fast.
Now let me repeat that statement like the author said it and you’ll understand very well.
Here how the author said it. If sees the moon for the start of Ramadhaan alone or his
testimony is rejected or if a person sees the moon for the end of Ramadan, he fast in both
scenario. That is exactly how the author worded.
Now let’s go and back track a little bit the statement in a little bit more detailed. I sight the
moon alone or I sight the moon and the leader says; you’re rejected we are not going to
take your testimony. The author said; I should fast, my Ramadan begins even the rest of the
Ummah didn’t start. That is for the beginning. This is the opinion of the majority of ‘Ulamaa
and among them is Imam Ahmad, Maalik, Ash-Shafi’ee, Ahlur-Ray and Ibn al-Mundhir and
others, he must fast on his own even the Ummah didn’t fast. He sighted the moon and all it
takes is one to sight the moon and he himself is one, that’s it.
Page | 58
Whoever witness the month must fast. They may have no one confirmed to testify or
witness to it, you yourself once you seen it, you witnessed the month. They haven’t
witnessed it but you witness it. So this verse applies to you, you must start your
Ramadhaan.
Also proof:
The third proof on this matter is that, to that person that person, to that individual,
Ramadan been confirmed by his own sighting. He witness Ramadhaan based on his own
sighting. To the others since the testimony was rejected or he’s alone, it’s still Sha’baan and
that is how we go by.
The second opinion and it’s an opinion attributed to Imam Ahmad Hanbal, is what Ibn
Taymiyyah adopts, al-Hassan al-Basri, Ibn Sireer and others adopts. But it’s not the official
Hanbali Madhab. The official Hanbali Madhab is the first opinion I mentioned. This opinion
the said; the person should reject his own testimony; he should start Ramadhaan on his
own. Their proof for that the Ummah needs to start Ramadhaan as an Ummah.
ﻮﻣﻮ َن
ُﺼ ُ َﺻ ْﻮُﻣ ُﻜ ْﻢ ﻳَـ ْﻮَم ﺗ
َ
You fast the day people fast, the Hadith says. You slaughter the day people slaughter. The
Hadith means the Ummah as a whole fast together. If the conditions are met, that’s true,
the Ummah fast as an Ummah. The problem is this person sighted the moon on his own or
he was rejected, so Ramadhaan been confirmed to this person individually. The Hadith:
ﻮﻣﻮ َن
ُﺼ ُ َﺻ ْﻮُﻣ ُﻜ ْﻢ ﻳَـ ْﻮَم ﺗ
َ
Meaning it implies the Ummah should fast together. Yes that’s in general circumstance,
however here there is an exceptional situation where the individual has confirmed the
beginning of Ramadhaan based on his own sighting.
Page | 59
The ‘Ulamaa of the second opinion told the ‘Ulamaa of the first opinion, you’re telling this
man, to fast on his own? Are you saying that if he sights the moon for Dhul Hijjah on his
own. If you sight, if this man sights the moon for Dhul Hijjah, the start of Dhul Hijjah on his
own. Yet the Ummah fast another day, does he go, since it Dhul Hijjah, does he go in al-
Arafaat by himself and then the next day the Hujaaj go, and then Minah on the different day
of the Ummah or he goes to stone the Shaytaan on different day of the Ummah? The Hujaaj
are doing one thing and he is doing another thing because he seen the moon on his own.
The first go and responded back and they say; no, you got it wrong. The month we allow the
testimony of one, is only the start of Ramadhaan. The end of Ramadhaan, every other
month including Dhul Hijjah need the testimony of two, so your rational is unfounded.
Ibn Taymiyyah who’s part of the people who took the second opinion used to adopt the
special opinion, that many disagreed with and the crescent the Hilaal is not really
considered a Shar’ee Hilaal unless it becomes widespread known and popular among the
people. He considered that as an additional restriction. Many of the ‘Ulamaa disagreed with
him on that rational.
As to the Hadith that implies fasting the Ummah or the group, the fasting is the fasting of
the group, the second opinion, that is an overall general situation. That’s how it usually is,
but there’s exceptions because if one confirms the sighting on his own he witness Ramadan
on his own. But the overall situation is that the Ummah of course fasts as a whole.
ِ
َ اَ ْو َراَى ﻫ َﻼ َل َﺷ ﱠﻮ ٍال
ﺻ َﺎم
This individual sees the crescent of the end of Ramadhaan, which is the Hilaal that belongs
to Shawwaal, he sees it on his own. Someone sees the moon that starts off the month of
Shawwaal, which is the month after Ramadhaan, that means Ramadhaan is over. Doesn’t he
go and fast on his own? No, we already said that. Why?
The majority opinion; Hanafiyyah, Malikiyyah, Haanabilah, and of course the author of this
book adopted; if you see the Hilaal the crescent for the end of Ramadhaan alone, you don’t
declare your own ‘Eid, nor do you break your fast, you have to fast the next day. Why?
Because he’s one man, the rule of the end of Ramadhaan we need two.
Page | 60
Now a second opinion, Malikiyyah, Shafi’iyyah, Ibn ‘Aaqil and Ibn Hazam said he breaks his
fast, but he doesn’t do so publicly so to avoid the Fitnah or the accusation. Why? Why does
he do in secrecy? Because for example a woman on her menstrual cycle or a traveller who is
excused, they’re exempted from fasting. But they shouldn’t be walking around eating out of
respect to the month of Ramadhaan, out of respect to Muslims, and more importantly to
avoid of being accused. In fact some narrated Ijmaa’ that if one is allowed to break his fast,
if someone allowed to break his fast during the month of Ramadhaan for an excuse, it
should be don’t in secrecy.
The correct opinion of those two opinions is that; he does not break his fast if he sees the
moon for the end of Ramadhaan. Why? They said he could be mistaken, that’s OK. But the
more important reason is because we know by proof that to end Ramadhaan or every other
month be it beginning and end it requires two witnesses. Someone will say you’re in
consistent, you say in the previous statement of the author that if one individual sights the
moon of Ramadhaan and his Imam rejects him, he fast on his own. Which is correct. Then
you’re trying to tell me at the end of Ramadhaan he sights the moon for the end of
Ramadhaan, he should not break his fast? He should not declare ‘Eid on his own? Or at least
break his fast? You’re being inconsistent they’re say. Notice how delicate Fiqh is.
We need by proof one to confirm the start of Ramadhaan. If he seen the crescent, the moon
for Ramadhaan he was rejected he must fast, because all it takes is one. We have the proof
on that, we’re people who follow proof. To him it became obligated to fast. Whereas the
end of Ramadhaan we’re not being in consistent because the proof tells us that for the end
of Ramadhaan and every other month other than the beginning of Ramadhaan, you need
two for the beginning and end. And he is one alone so he doesn’t break his fast.
Page | 61
fast, because the testimony of each other. As well as anyone else who knows these two
people knows they’re are credible.
Another scenario, they go to the imam and judge two of them. They inform the judge that
they’ve seen the moon. While walking out words spreads that two people seen the moon.
Do we go by their testimony if their testimony gets rejected by the judge? The answer to
that is it depends on why the judge rejected their testimony. If he rejected their testimony
because the statues of their credibility is unknown, then the judge didn’t really rule on that,
just doesn’t know if their trustworthy. Those who hear and know those two people and
know their credible, can they follow each other’s testimony. And those who know them can
break their fast based on these guys testimony. The judge didn’t rule because he doesn’t
know their statues. That’s the first scenario.
If the judge rejected them because they are Faasiq, is confirmed to the judge one of them or
both of them, then you cannot use the testimony because the Imam ruled based on what he
has of knowledge of these people.
What do they do? Simple, you do Ijtihaad. Ijtihaad the best way you can. That’s like facing
the Qiblah, you are in a place where you don’t know where Qiblah is. You must face the
Qiblah to make your Salah. But you are not good at directions, east, west and north, you’re
not good at it. You don’t have the App on your phone, you can’t ask. You do Ijtihaad the
best way you can and you make your Salah. The same is for the start and end of Ramadhaan
for one who’s in prison and lost communication with the world and he can’t ask or seek or
pursuit that matter.
Take a scenario based on that, if he found out during Ramadan is Ramadan and he guessed
and his Ijtihaad his good, he’s good. That’s the first scenario. The second one is he found out
that what he fasted turned out to be after Ramadhaan, that’s good because is like the
statues of someone who made up Ramadhaan. There is no problem with that. He fasted
August and Ramadan turned out to be in June. Is as if he made up Ramadhaan, that’s good,
his Ijtihaad is good, he did the best he could.
The third scenario he fasted a month, then suddenly he gets a letter from his family telling
him in two days Ramadhaan is going to start. Or the guard or chaplain or someone tells him
in a few days Ramadhaan is going to start. He already fasted the month. What does he do?
What he did, he did in the wrong timing, he gets Ajr but Ramadhaan he must fast again.
That’s like for example making Asr, someone made Asr, they go visit friends and friends say,
Yalla lets go to the Masjid and make Asr. He says; what you are guys talking about, I made
Asr about an hour ago. May phone was wrong, the timing of my phone was wrong or maybe
he was listening to the Qur’an radio station in Makkah, they called the Athaan, and he
thought it was his App on his phone, it was that Athaan but it was really the Athaan for
another Salah in Makkah and he prayed Asr an our ago. Does he say; ok you guys go to the
Masjid I already made it? No, got to do it again.
Page | 63
These types of scenarios they can go on and on. Let’s take another one, final one. If one for
example if one fasted thirty days and he found out fifteen of those turned out to be of
Sha’baan, the month before Ramadan and fifteen was part of Ramadan. The fifteen before
Ramadan he needs to make them up. He did them before the proper time. That’s like one
who prayed Asr before its time. Or similar to that if he fasted thirty days and he finds out
days he fasted where days of Eid of Dhul Hijjah or the ‘Eid of Ramadhaan, the tree days of
Dhul Hijjah or the ‘Eid of Ramadhaan, some of the days that he was fasting thinking that
Ramadhaan turned out to be ‘Eid, the Eid of Dhul Hijjaah, which is three days or the ‘Eid of
Ramadhaan. What does he do? He must make up those days its Haraam to fast those days.
There are some scenarios that may come in handy in future or give you broaden lightening
your mind as to how the ‘Ulamaa think and actually these scenarios can go on and on and
we don’t want to go beyond our time.
HOMEWORK
What I advice however is you take this and the notes you taking, go over them again and
again. You have to do homework on your own, to be a Fiqhy you have to do homework on
your own. Go over this again and again and you may want to listen to the audio again,
possibly that’s even as good as going over your notes. Listen to the audio several times.
Then you are going to realise that what we saying is going to sink in. Why? For two reasons;
the start of this book is somewhat difficult, I am trying to break it down as easy as I can and I
ask Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala to aid me in that but the start of this booklet is slightly
difficult. You know these issues are slightly difficult and also you’re in a beginning of a new
knowledge this is Fiqh. Like in Tawheed the beginning some were having difficulty in
understanding but as time goes on, after ten classes, then twenty classes, Alhamdulillah I
think we went beyond thirty if I am not mistaken. People find it easier, the same with this.
After a while you are going to learn how the ‘Ulamaa think and how they go back and forth
in their proof and its going to become much easier, so it’s difficult that the substance of
what we study in the first part of this book this matter of this book is much practical for you
as an individual.
The sighting and that you know someone will say that’s not practical but that’s part of Fiqh
and we have to go by the curriculum, but it’s slightly difficult. It’s slightly difficult and that
the substance of what we study is difficult. Also it’s difficult in that most of you are in the
process of starting the learning of Fiqh which is part of new knowledge. So you got to take
your and gradually break in to understanding the Fiqh. That’s why I advise you to go over
your notes several times, go over the audio. You get Ajr for that, you sitting at home you
want to understand this Fiqh, and you want to understand this ‘Ilm. That is an Ibaadah. You

You don’t just go to a Halaqah. You know, in universities, what you study in universities they
tell you, you have to do five hours equivalent or so on of homework in your house to sink in
and register. It’s more than that with this Ilm. You just go and say; Wallahi I attended a
Halaqah and that’s it, you put your books at home and you don’t open it until next day or
until the following class. No you got to go over it and over it. You wouldn’t find no ‘Aalim,
that used to go to a Halaqah and like many perceive or assume, he put his books away and
the next day he wipes the dusts off them and go take the books to the next Halaqah. No in
between that there’s a lot of study going. Just like I told you don’t spend your time
memorizing but most definitely, if it is a Hadith try to memorize it if you can. But like I said
the wordings of this book is difficult and focus more on trying to understand that. That’s my
advice to you.
CLASS EIGHT
We left off at the author’s statement:
Page | 65
He said: Wa Yalzamu (ْﺰ ُم
َ ) َوﻳَـﻠ. Yalzamu ( )ﻳَـﻠ َْﺰُمis a word that the author used instead of Yajibu
(ﺐ ِ
ُ )ﻳَﺠmeaning is obligatory. It can be used interchangeably to say that it must, it
proscribed, it’s obligatory, is a Fardh. But why did he use Wa Yalzamu instead of Fardh or
Waajib? Really the reason he did that was to change the terms in his writing as an artistic
way of keeping the reader attached and interested and thinking while he goes through his
book and this is widespread among the Fuqahaa’. Sometime they use Wa Yalzamu instead
of Yajibu, but you’ll know that when he says Yalzamu, he is saying Yajibu. You know that also
through the context of the sentence that he’s stating.
He said fasting is waajib or Yalzamu, fasting is Waajib, is fard, is obligatory. Is all fasting
waajib or is he talking some type of specific fasting? He’s talking actually about a certain
type of fasting, which is the Waajib type naming speaking; Ramadhaan. He didn’t specify
that, but he means; Ramadhaan. How do we know that? Because we said in Arabi and I
went through it through it I believe in the Tawheed classes and also on these classes. AL ( (ال
اﻟﻌﻬﺪ اﻟﻈﻬﻠﻰ
We took what Al’ahd Alzihli means. Al’ahd Alzihli in Arabic grammar means that it refers to
that which you know. Meaning the fasting that is obviously on your mind, the fasting that is
understood by common sense for one who is reading this. Meaning Al’ahd Alzihli that is
automatically understood by the listener what I am trying to say, so there is no need to
specify it. What fasting is he talking about that we really understand when we read it? He is
talking about the fasting of Ramadhaan. So ‘Al’ in as-Sawmu is Al’ahd Aldhihli.
ﺼ ْﻮ ُم ﻟِ ُﻜ ﱢﻞ ُﻣ ْﺴﻠِ ٍﻢ
َوﻳَـﻠ َْﺰُم اﻟ ﱠ
What is prescribed? He said; fasting Ramadhaan on every Muslim is prescribed. That is a
very general and broad statement.
Page | 66
books, you’ll see that Islam is a condition for Salah. He is not trying to exempt a Kaafir from
Salah, is telling you from a Fuqahaa' prospective that in order for you to for fulfill the Salah
or the Siyaam who have to be able a Muslim, is a condition. In order for the fast to be
accepted it, it must be from a Muslim, that is what they’re trying to tell you. I am going to
elaborate on this point a little bit later on Inshaa Allah.
So the issue, we have an issue here; for some example, we have some issues here, if one
embraces Islam on the day of ‘Eid does he need to make up that entire Ramadhaan? He
comes on the ‘Eid declares his Shahaadah in front of everyone. No, he doesn’t make up his
Ramadhaan. The day he took his Shahaadah was like the day he was born, free of his sins.
He is on a fresh slate and a fresh beginning. That day it’ll be with a clean slate with Allah
subhaanahu wa ta'aala he doesn’t have to make up any of the Ramadan that passed. It is
considered by Ijmaa’, by consensuses that when a non-Muslim embraces Islam, takes his
Shahaadah he does not make up the fasting of the previous Ramadhaan.
What’s the proof on that? The is Ijmaa’ and there is plenty there proof.

Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven.
(Surat al-Anfaal: 38)
There is a Hadith when the tribe of Wafd-Thaqif, they came to the Masjid of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and embraced Islam with the Messenger sallallahu
alayhi wa sallam. They camped in the Masjid, they stayed in the Masjid the Hadith says; they
fasted the remainder of that Ramadhaan, meaning they didn’t fast what they missed in the
early, in the first portion of Ramadhaan when they we not Muslim. After they became
Muslim, they fasted the remainder part of that Ramadhaan. They started their fast after
they became Muslim and the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not direct them to
make up past Ramadhaan. If it was obligatory on him, he would have said after Ramadhaan
is done, the day that missed of this Ramadhaan, make them up. But he didn’t say that,
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
Page | 67
If one became Muslim on the second day of Ramadhaan for example; he starts fasting right
after for the remainder of that month, whether twenty-seven or twenty-eight more days.
There is no dispute, is Ijmaa’ an original Kaafir who embraces Islam, takes his Shahaadah, he
doesn’t make up any of the previous Ramadhaan or days of Ramadhaan that he missed out
on before his Shahaadah. His fasting during Kufr invalidates the fast. It not acceptable and
his Islam is forgiveness for any Ramadhaan or days of Ramadhaan that he missed out on,
along with of course all his previous sins. He is like a new born free and clear from his sins
like a new born, a new start. Now that’s the original Kaafir.
IF HE IS A MURTAD
The next issue we have here is, what if he is a Murtad? Murtad means an apostate, one who
was Muslim and then left Islam. Some rulings that pertain to Murtad are different overall if
you look at them there is many rulings that protein to a Murtad that are different than a
original Kaafir even though both are considered Kaafir. Both apostate and an original Kaafir
fall under the term Kaafir, but there’s some slight difference. A Murtad is much worse than
original Kaafir.
Now there is a Murtad who came back to Islam, he was an apostate for some time and then
he decided to come back to Islam, wal 'iyaadu billah that he left Islam and many who
become Atheist and then the decide to come back to Islam. While, we said, an original
Kaafir doesn’t have to make up past Ramadhaan after he embraces Islam by Ijmaa’, no
dispute. A Murtad an apostate is slightly different in this issue and that is disputed, whether
he needs to make up previous Ramadhaan that he missed while he was Murtad or not. So
the only difference this man is slightly disputed for a Murtad. However the overall and
majority says that an apostate does not need to make up the fast that he missed out on
while he was a Kaafir, a non-Muslim.
Imam Ahmad in his one of two opinions said he needs to make up. The correct opinion of
those two opinions is that apostates are like an original Kaafir. The same Hukm applies to
him, the same rulings applies to him. They don’t have to make up missed Ramadhaan. Why?
Same verse applies to him, they fall under the same categories, same term.

﴾٣٨ : ﴿اﻷﻧﻔﺎل...ﻒ
Say to those who have disbelieved, if they cease (from disbelief) their past will be forgiven.
(Surat al-Anfaal: 38)
That Kufr, the term Kaafir in that verse is broad, and it encompasses both original Kaafir who
is a Kaafir and an apostate who falls under the term Kaafir as well. So there is no room or
no need to distinguish between the two in this matter. Had we have specific proof on that,
then yes we would distinguish between the two in this matter, but there is no specific proof
Page | 68
on that issue. A Murtad or an apostate is a branch of Kufr, just like an original Kaafir is
another branch of Kufr. Is merely a different branches to Kufr. So once a Kaafir embrace his
Islam or an apostate returns, he does not need to make up any missed Ramadhaan, Allah
will forgive their past Inshaa Allah.
Another issue or rather a scenario. We said a Kaafir does not make up past Ramadhaan and
we said and an apostate follows along with that and the correct of two opinions on that
matter. The day they embrace Islam Allah forgives all.
What if a Kaafir, a non-Muslim takes his Shahaadah at Dhuhr time in one of the days of
Ramadhaan? We said he doesn’t make up past Ramadhaan or past days while he wasn’t
Muslim, he doesn’t have to do that. No matter how many days or years if he became
Muslim when he was sixty years old he doesn’t have to do single day or years from the past
ones. But now he is one his second day of Ramadan he comes to the Masjid at Dhuhr time
or Asr time and he says; I want to declare my Shahaadah. Previous days they first day of that
Ramadhaan he doesn’t have to make it up, previous Ramadhaan he doesn’t have to make
up. That particular day that he became Muslim does he need to make it up on not?
This is a very, very close dispute among the ‘Ulamaa. The overwhelming majority the
Jamhoor, he on that day for sure he abstains from anything that voids fast. From the point
that he became Muslim. Like he does no longer after he become Muslim, he doesn’t eat,
drink or have intercourse with his wife for the rest of that day. But since he became Muslim
on that day, they said; is safer for him to make up that day after Ramadhaan. That’s
probably the best opinion, there is no proof either way on that so the Jamhoor rational is
probably closes to being right.
Now there is an issue, the author said; Ramadhaan is Waajib on a Muslim. Is the author here
trying to imply or when you read this in Fiqh books, all over. Are they trying to imply that
Ramadhaan is not Waajib on a Kaafir? This goes back to a major issue in Usool. That major
issue is; are detailed obligations of Islam prescribed upon a Kaafir? Tawheed is directed and
prescribed on a Kaafir. But what about the details of Islam like; hajj, fasting, not dealing in
usury or not committing Zina? Do the orders of Allah like fasting encompass a Kaafir? Or is it
just major Tawheed that they’re directed with?
Page | 69
The correct opinion on this matter is that; the word of Allah, the speech of Allah, the
commands of Allah is directed to Kuffaar (non Muslims) in both the principle (which is the
Tawheed) and also in the detailed orders of Islam. Some of the ‘Ulamaa I’ve read, narrated
an Ijmaa’ on this issue, but there is a dispute. How can there be a dispute when there is an
Ijmaa’? The ‘Ulamaa justified that, early on there was an Ijmaa’ and that’s should be
sufficient. But a dispute developed later on over time. The fact that there is an Ijmaa’ should
not have left any room for any dispute after that. Tawheed is directed to a Kaafir no doubt,
no one disputes that. But for example, let’s take for example fasting, is he obligated to fast
as a Kaafir? Is the command of Allah, the speech of Allah ordering to fast include a Kaafir?
Yes, the author’s statement fasting is waajib upon a Muslim, does not mean fasting is not
waajib on a kaafir, that’s not what he is saying. It means fasting is Waajib on a Muslim which
means it’s not accepted from a Kaafir in his status of Kufr, whether he is an original Kaafir or
an apostate. The order of fasting in other commands are directed to a Kaafir as well, and he
is obligated to fast. But to do so, first he needs to fulfill the condition of embracing Islam.
Therefore for he’s not saying that fasting is not obligatory on him, he is saying fasting is not
accepted. So when the Fuqahaa’ say that they saying that fasting is not accepted while there
on the status of Kufr. Fulfill that condition before you fast.
Allah said:
...َوَﻣﺎ َﻣﻨَـ َﻌ ُﻬ ْﻢ أَن ﺗُـ ْﻘﺒَ َﻞ ِﻣ ْﻨـ ُﻬ ْﻢ ﻧَـ َﻔ َﻘﺎﺗُـ ُﻬ ْﻢ إِﱠﻻ أَﻧﱠـ ُﻬ ْﻢ َﻛ َﻔ ُﺮوا ﺑِﺎﻟﻠﱠ ِـﻪ َوﺑَِﺮ ُﺳﻮﻟِ ِﻪ
﴾٥٤ : ﴿اﻟﺘﻮﺑﺔ
And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they
disbelieved in Allah and in His Messenger (Muhammad sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). (Surat
at-Tawbah: 54)
Nothing prevents their contribution, their charity from being accepted from them except
that they disbelieved in Allah and His messenger. They disbelieving in Allah and the
Messenger deprived their charity of being accepted. Charity is not accepted due to their
Kufr. Likewise fasting is not accepted due to their Kufr. Join Islam, become Muslim so that it
will be accepted. The author is trying enlighten us that fasting of a non-Muslim who abstains
from predawn to sunset while he is a Kaafir is rejected, that’s what the author is trying to
say. He didn’t fulfill the first rule of fasting, the first condition of fasting, which is Islam. Just
like abstaining from food from predawn to sunset is a condition, a condition of fasting in
Islam. And Islam is a condition pertains to that person. Just like purification is a condition for
your Salah to be accepted, Islam is a precondition for fasting to be accepted.
Page | 70
The order of Allah to fasting is directed to a non-Muslim and a Muslim. The author’s
statement only and merely means that before he needs to fulfill the first condition of being
a Muslim in order for that fast to be accepted. And why I point out this, is because this you’ll
find it all throughout the Fiqh books, they’re going to tell you, your Salah; the first condition
for your Salah for example is a Muslim, Hajj as Muslim, they are not trying to exempt a non-
Muslim from the command. There just trying to say that, that’s the condition.
What’s the proof that details of Islam are directed to a non-Muslim and they’re obligated to
follow them? Among that is the broad general speech:
He said mankind meaning Muslims and non Muslims, which include U’budoo (ْﺪوا
ُ ُ )ا ْﻋﺒwhich
is Tawheed and it includes other aspect of worship. So he is tell everybody, Muslims and
non-Muslims embrace Tawheed, which is the main Ibaadah and then included in that is
other types of worships. So he was directing his speech to everybody.
In fact when the Kuffaar are asked in Jahannam; why are you in Jahannam?
Page | 71
The first thing they say is:
ِ ُ َﻟَﻢ ﻧ
َ ﺼﻠﱢ
ﻴﻦ َ ﻚ ﻣ َﻦ اﻟ ُْﻤ ْ
We were not among those who used to offer Salah. Look at what they say.
And we didn’t not feed the poor, we did not give charity, we didn’t give the Miskeen their
rights.
﴾٤٥:ﻴﻦ ﴿اﻟﻤﺪﺛﺮ ِِ
َ ﻮض َﻣ َﻊ اﻟْ َﺨﺎﺋﻀ

“And we used to talk falsehood (all that which Allah hated) with vain talkers.” (Surat al-
Muddathir: 45)
Look at these matters that they saying caused them entry to Hellfire, wal ‘iyaadu billah.
ﻴﻦ ِِ
َ ﻮض َﻣ َﻊ اﻟْ َﺨﺎﺋﻀ
ُ ﻧَ ُﺨ
Means falsehood – everything that Allah disliked and prohibited and included in that is vain
talk as well.
The reasons they’re saying that they’re in Jahannam is leaving Salah, talking falsehood and
not giving charity. The main reasons that they’re in Jahannam is due to their Kufr. That’s
why they’re really in Jahannam. But the torment is worsened on top of the punishment of
Kufr, why? For leaving the details of Islam out as well. They clearly stated four reasons from
the details of Islam. They didn’t make their Salah, they didn’t give the poor their rights, their
charity, they spoke evil and falsehood and that which Allah dislikes and they disbelieved in
the Day of Judgment.
So in addition they’re saying; in addition to their Kufr they’re being punished for these
matters which are matters that are not Tawheed and Shirk. If they were not being punished
for these details then it would be feral to mention them. They mentioned those details
Page | 72
because those are details of Islam that they are being punished for. Therefore they are
being punished for details of Islam that they didn’t do and the principle of Islam which is
Tawheed. Because the Tawheed in the details of Islam are both commanded upon them.
The original and main reason for their punishment is due to their Shirk, no doubt. But it gets
multiplied on top of that for the details of Islam that they did not do.
These are among the proofs that ‘Ulamaa used that the non-Muslims are commanded by
the details of Islam.
The torment will be doubled to him Day of Judgment and he will be in hell disgraced. Allah
says; they get tormented for three sins, for their shirk which is the principle, and then he
mentioned killing, unjustly killing someone. Another one they’ll be tormented for is illegal
sexual relationship, and the second two are secondary matters of Islam. The first one of
course is the principle, so that means they’ll be punished for matters are secondary matters
of Islam, just like they’ll be will be punished for the original Kufr.

The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein in
disgrace. (Surat al-Furqaan: 69)
His sin is multiplied over on top of the shirk. Why? For secondary matters that he was
commanded with; Zina and killing.

Had the speech of the details of Islam not been directed to non-Muslims it would be, the
verse would go like; woe to the Mushrikeen - period, or woe to the Mushrikeen for their
shirk, but here it says;
How does this tie to our study? Did we get off track? No we didn’t. It’s important and it’s
important to know in Fiqh books because the author said:

punished for that. A Kaafir is included in the order of fasting like the other orders of Islam,
but the statement of the author and the Fuqahaa’ when they use it in such context, it does
not mean to exclude a Kaafir. It means he is exempted.
When they say Ramadhaan is Waajib, or the Salah is Waajib on a Muslim or Hajj is Waajib on
a Muslim. That’s the first condition that you are going to find in those matters. When they
say that it doesn’t mean a non-Muslim is exempted from those obligations or that those
orders do not encompass him. The Fuqahaa’ in such a statements mean; fulfill your
condition of Islam so that the order that you were commanded with will be accepted, the
order of Siyaam.
CLASS NINE
MUKALLAF
The first condition we took yesterday was Muslim, today the second condition is Mukallaf.
This exempts one, who is insane and children who are under the age of puberty from the
obligation of fasting. A minor under the age of puberty is fully exempted by the
overwhelming majority of Ulamaa. In fact it’s near Ijmaa’(consensus) that he is exempted
until he reaches the age of puberty.
رﻓﻊ اﻟﻘﻠﻢ ﻋﻦ ﺛﻼﺛﺔ وذﻛﺮ ﻣﻨﻬﻢ ﻋﻦ اﻟﺼﺒﻲ ﺣﺘﻰ ﻳﺤﺘﻠﻢ وﻓﻲ رﻳﻮاي ﺣﺘﻲ
ﻳﻘﺒﺮ وﻓﻲ روى ﺣﺘﻲ ﻳﺘﻠﻖ
The pen has been lifted from three, one of them is insane until he becomes back to senses
and a sleeper until he wakes up and a minor until he reaches the age of puberty.
That Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud is in authority on this matter. The signs of puberty are
three, three for a male and four for a female. One is they both share is reaching the age of
fifteen or number two; the growing of pubic hair. Number three; a wet dream. And a female
has an addition sign which is the start of her menstrual cycle.
Page | 75
Now keep in mind, the rule that a minor is not accountable for fasting does not mean is not
accepted or rewarded if he does it. It’s not Waajib on him, he is not held accountable for it.
But he may get reward just as a parent may get reward if they teach him and if he doesn’t.
there is a difference between today’s condition on fasting and the one we took yesterday.
We took Islam which the opposite is Kufr. One who is a Kaafir is different in that fasting is
not accepted from him. Here is not Waajib on him, he is not held accountable for fasting.
But if he does it he may get reward, while as a Kaafir does not get reward.
Another important point to know about minors is that children under the age of puberty are
considered two categories; one of two categories is matters of Usool; Minors who are able
to distinguish and minors who not able to distinguish. What’s the age or the line where
minors are referred to or classified as those who are able to distinguish and those who not
able to distinguish. In Arabic is called; Mumayyiz Wa Ghayra Mumayyiz. It is disputed among
the ‘Ulamaa.
Some ‘Ulamaa says, the first two opinions is that they should be quizzed and tested. That’s
how we know if they are Mumayizeen or not, because children mature at different ages,
and is better to quiz them and ask the then to go by age. Some said if you ask them the
difference between a donkey and a mule. If they know the difference and they specify that
particular question, they are considered Mumayizeen, if they don’t know the difference
they are not considered Mumayizeen. A third opinion said that we go by the age of seven
for Tameez because is in the Hadith where the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
ordered the parents to order the children to perform Salah at the age of seven. That’s
probably strong because is taken from a Hadith.
Now having said that, what’s based on that matter? Whether a child or minor is Mumayyiz
he can distinguish or he can’t distinguish, what’s based on that for our purpose here today?
If a child is under the age of seven under what constitute Tameez meaning he is under the
age where he distinguishes, then his Salah is classified from a Fiqh prospective as vain, there
is not a reward in it. Don’t get me wrong, you encourage your children to make Salah, but
we’re talking from Fiqh prospective, do they get reward and ajar?
My father tells me when I was crawling I used to drag up prayer carpet next to him, pile it up
next to him and join him in his Salah, may Allah grant him a long life full of deeds and then
Firdaws. My father took us to Madinah when we were at the age of seven when he went to
study, we were around the age of seven. And I remember for a fact that we fasted at least
two years prior to that, full Ramadhaan. So it’s encouraged for a parent to teach their kids
but there is no reward for children under the age of Tameez as the Fuqahaa’ said.
Page | 76
Now over the age of Tameez, the Salah and fasting he gets rewards for it. Why? Because for
an Ibaadah to be an Ibaadah you must have knowledge of that Ibaadah, and knowledge
follows intentions. So you have to have knowledge and intention. You need knowledge and
intention. Does one who crawls have the intention and knowledge so that it may constitute
an Ibaadah? Someone under the age of Tameez he can’t comprehend that. While someone
over the age of Tameez, although he may not a full comprehensive knowledge of the Salah
like an adult, he will have the general understanding of the basic and essentials of Salah and
he will definitely know the intention. That’s the difference.
Another issue, whether one is under the age of Tameez or over they’re not held, as long as
they’re minor, they’re no held accountable until they reach the age of puberty. That’s by the
overwhelming majority of the ‘Ulamaa, including a large group of the Hanabilah. There is
another opinion by the Hanabilah that he’s held accountable. They said if a person a minor
reaches the age of Tameez even though he’s under the age of puberty. Meaning to them is
age seven, he is able to fast then he must fast. That’s a weak opinion. Their proof on that,
his comparing fasting at the age of seven to Salah at the age of seven, they did Qiyaas. And
the responds to that is; first of all look into the Hadith of the order of the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is for the parent, ordering the parents to order the kids. It was
for parent to order the kids at the age of seven.
The second issue is; the Messenger said orders them to do Salah at the age of seven and hit
them at the age of ten. Doing analogy of Siyaam and Salah is disputed because fasting is
much more difficult than Salah. In order to do Qiyaas it has to be very similar. So fasting is
much more difficult than Salah so he Qiyaas on it and also is different in that Salah, when
one leaves Salah he is a Kaafir. While leaving Siyaam, as long as one not deny he is not a
Kaafir. And the clearest most direct proof on this matter is the Hadith; The pen has been
lifted from three; and one of them is a minor until he reaches the age of puberty. that
Hadith doesn’t leave for that Hanbali opinion that a minor over the age of Tameez which is
seven is obligated to fast. he has his preferable to teach them, to raise them from as early as
you can on Salah and Siyaam, as young as possible.
The Sahaabah used to raise their children on that, and used to when their children would
get hungry to get them to forget that they would either take them to the Masjid and buy
them toys to get their minds of food. As my father tells me, he said; teaching the children at
that young age is like tying a knot that will never get loose. The point is one should be
flexible with them, especially in fasting because is more difficult than Salah. One fact is that
is not Waajib on them and that is the incorrect opinion in the Hanbali Madhab.
Page | 77
ONE MUST BE SANE
Now, moving on to the next condition of fasting which is; being sane. That’s the next
condition. Is that in your book? Is not in your book, you won’t see that in your book. Where
did we get that from? We said that Mukallaf means that one is over the age puberty and we
just finished that. And number two is that he’s sane. So a Majnoon, someone who’s insane,
mentally ill is like a child and that they’re both not held accountable. One who’s insane,
regardless of whether that is temporarily insanity or permanent one, he is exempted from
the accountability of fasting. For one temporarily insane is only during the time that he is
insane in them.
There are many forms of insanity, the exemption is for those who are insane and it includes
a variety of types of insanity. For example; Alzheimer's is one, those in a coma are
considered like those insane, those who lost their mind within their life, those who were
born like that, and those are variety of insanity that they exempted. One insane is like a
minor, is that they are not obligated to fast.
Now there is an issue, in one of two opinions by Imam Ahmad that’s unusual he state that;
an insane person makes up his fast. When we say one of two opinions means that he has
two opinions on this matter. The followers of his Madhab try to explain this, in responds or
explain this issue. And try to do in two ways, some of them said this is a weak opinion that
could not and should not be attributed to Imam Ahmad. Why did they say that? They said
it’s clearly goes against the Hadith:
Other followers, another one, other followers of the Hanbali Madhab said, no. making up
the fast for the insane according to Imam Ahmad was meant for those who are in a
temporarily insanity. There’s permanent insanity and then there is temporary insanity,
comes and goes, sometimes for a few weeks or months, for years, sometimes within the
day. They’d be insane part of the day and sane at part of the day. They said what Imam
Page | 78
Ahmad meant is that; if a person goes for an hour of the day and he’s cured within that day,
that’s what Imam Ahmad Rahimahullah meant. They tried justifying the opinion of Imam
Ahmad Rahimahullah by saying; he means temporarily insanity, meaning if he’s cured within
that particular day.
This issue is actually very similar to one who is in a coma, one who is in a coma and he
wakes up in between two Salah. If someone insane returns to his normal statues or one
who’s in coma wakes up between two Salah, during the coma or insanity they’re not held
accountable. Now if he wakes up after Dhuhr, does he have to have to make that Dhuhr? Is
he held accountable for that Dhuhr? Or he says; ok next Salah I’ll start, I’ll start on that next
Salah. If he wakes up or his mind returned to him between the Salah before the ending of
the timing for the Salah which an average person can make Wudhu and Salah, that’s when
he must start and that’s when his first Salah begins and he’s held accountable to it.
Let me give you an example to clear that up; if he wakes up one minute before Dhuhr is over
or three minute before Dhuhr is over meaning he wakes up three minute for Asr because
that’s when is over. He’s not required to make Dhuhr, he’s not held accountable for that,
because one to three minute is not enough for an average person to make Wudhu and
Salah. If he wakes up or his mind returns to him ten to fifteen minute before Asr, then he
has to make Dhuhr, because an average person is able to make Wudhu and Salah within ten
to fifteen minutes.
So far we took, the condition of Islam which was yesterday, today we took Mukallaf which
means over the age of puberty and it means sane.

When I command you do the best of your ability and capacity. if one is not able to fast we
say is not Waajib on him. He’s not able to fast, is not Waajib on him. What falls under this is;
one who’s traveling, some who you know are travelling, some who are ill, and some who are
old or some who have incurable disease. There’s a difference between one who’s ill, if he
has for example; a cold or a flu or his leg is broken and he need pain medication, that falls
under;
Whoever ill or his on a journey the same number of days which he did not fast, he did not
observe his fast, he has to make them up. If he breaks his fast.
One who’s permanently unable to fast or he’s very old or with a permanent disease or
illness, he does Fidyah, expiation for every single day. We will talk about those issues in
much more detail that the author has statement pertaining to those matters that we’ll go
over. That’s why I’m going to discuss them now in detail.
We mentioned now so far yesterday; Muslim, today we said Mukallaf. A) Above the age of
puberty. B) sane, then the third one is; Qaadirin which is ability. There’s the fourth one,
which the author didn’t mention here, because he actually included it in his other
statements, which is being a residents not a traveller. One who’s travelling has the option
to break his fast by the Ijmaa’ of Ulamaa’, it is clear in the verse:
Page | 80
Whoever is ill or his on a journey the same number of days that he did not observe his
fasting, he has to make them up. Some ‘Ulamaa went to the extent, to the radical extend of
saying; one is not permitted to fast on a journey because that resembles fasting before the
proper timing. And fasting before the proper timing is not accepted. Like someone saying; I
want to do Ramadhaan two month ago, you can’t do that. They took the verse to mean fast
is delayed; the timing of his fast is delayed until he returns. That’s actually an extreme and
wrong weak opinion.
The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam fasted during his journeys and so did some of the
Sahaabah and those who fasted flaw those who didn’t. And those who did not fast, did not
flaw those who fasted.
In Sahih al-Bukhari: Amr-ul Asalami asked the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; I’m
going to travel during Ramadhaan. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said; if you
wish to fast, fast. if you wish to break your fast then break it.
The point for now, we have a lot more details to discuss on that issue Inshaa Allah, but for
now for this to coincide with what we are covering now is; that one who’s travelling is not
obligated to fast, it’s his chose. However, he must make it up and just like an ill person has
to make it up unless is an incurable illness.
Islam, Takleef which is sanity and over the age of puberty, ability, a residents he not be
travelling and a woman who’s not on her menstrual cycle or post needle bleeding. There are
details, again I’m going to repeat there are details on some of those issues that I didn’t
mention because the author has future statements on them. So it’s best to coincide with the
explanations, we’ll do it then.
CLASS TEN
Previously we took how Ramadhaan starts and ends. Then we took the condition of one
who fasts which is the matters we took like; Muslim, Mukallaf able, and a resident and a
woman who is on her menstrual cycle or post-natal bleeding.
Page | 81
IF IT IS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS RAMADHAAN DURING THE DAY
Now the author comes with a new statement:
If you’re among those who fasting is obligated upon. Who are those who’s fasting is
obligated upon? We took that in the previous two classes. Very well organised and
structured. Although it may not appear so, but in reality when you study the substances of
Fiqh its very well organised and structured. Our ‘Ulamaa took a lot of time to write this.
The statement saying over here we are trying to discuss is; if you sleep not knowing is
Ramadhaan. You went to sleep you don’t know if the next day is Ramadhaan. You forgot,
you didn’t know, you didn’t pray Ishaa at the Masjid. You go the Masjid the next day for
Dhuhr, Asr and one of your friends tells you is Ramadhaan today. From that point on the
Page | 82
author is saying; you must abstain from food, water, intercourse and everything that voids
your fast. It doesn’t matter what part of the day. I you went to the Masjid at Fajr and after
Fajr your friend told you; you know today is Ramadhaan? You abstain there. If it was after
Dhuhr, if it was after Asr you abstains for the remainder of the day from all that voids and
nullifies a fast. Here he says; if the proof is been established that Ramadhaan began, you do
Imsaak, which means you abstains from eating drinking and intercourse.
The first opinion we have is; from the moment that it’s been confirmed to you that this day
is Ramadhaan, you abstain from eating, drinking, intercourse and that which voids a fast.
This is the opinion of the overwhelming majority of ‘Ulamaa, Ibn Taymiyyah strongly
advocated for this opinion. In fact some ‘Ulamaa consider this opinion an Ijmaa’. Ijmaa’ is
consensus means its agreed upon. Ibn `Abd al-Barr Rahimahullah said the only person I
know who disagreed with this opinion is ‘Adhaa Rahimahullah. So if it’s not an Ijmaa’, is so
close to an Ijmaa’. That’s the first opinion, and it is actually the correct opinion.
The second opinion is what ‘Adhaa Rahimahullah said and it was one of two opinions by
Imam Ahmad. They said one is not obligated to abstain for the remainder of the day when
he finds out if it is Ramadhaan. I could not any Fiqh books that has this opinion of the
mother Fiqh books who stated this opinion by other than ‘Adhaa Rahimahullah and of
course one of two opinions by Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal. Knowing everything, nearly
everything is disputed in Fiqh and this is if not an Ijmaa like I said but very close to an Ijmaa’.
اﻣﺮ اﻟﻨﺒﻲ ﺻﻠﻰ اﷲ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ وﺻﻠﻢ: ﻋﻦ ﺳﻠﻤﺔ ﺑﻦ اﻻﻛﻮع رﺿﻲ اﷲ ﻋﻨﻪ ﻗﺎل

Salamah Ibn al-Akwa' said; the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered a man from a
tribe from Bani Aslam; make an announcement. The announcement was what the
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam specifically told him to say;
Page | 83
This is a message for those who did not know that day was 'Ashoora. He told his messenger
go announce that whoever has already eaten should fast from this day on, fast from this
point on.
Why are we comparing 'Ashoora to Ramadhaan in this Fiqh issue? Because if you remember
all this is tied to each other. If you remember in the start of the class maybe I think is the
second class, we said that ‘Ashoora was Waajib. ‘Ashoora was the replacement of
Ramadhaan, 'Ashoora was Fardh, Waajib back the like Ramadhaan is today. It was
abrogated by Ramadhaan. However the rule that those who didn’t know, it was ‘Ashoora
that day when the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made the announcement, told his
messenger to make the announcement. Applies to those who didn’t know? Is a Ramadhaan
day by analogy and Qiyaas. You are in the same statues as those who found out that
‘Ashoora, back in the days when it was Waajib. You don’t say; you know what I have to
make this day up, so I’m just going to continue eating and drinking for the rest of the day.
You do what the messenger of the Messenger Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said;
you abstain, you fast from eating and drink and all that which void fast. You fast for the
remainder of the day when you found out that today is the day of Ramadhaan. That’s pretty
much a very clear issue.
ُﻀﺎء
َ َواﻟْ َﻘ
You abstain and you make it up.
Now the first opinion and that’s the opinion of the Hanabilah, Shafi’yyah and it is what the
author of this book choose when he said:
Page | 84
ُﻀﺎء
َ َواﻟْ َﻘ
And it is the opinion of the vast majority of the ‘Ulamaa. They say that one must make that
day up after Ramadhaan. He abstains and he makes that day up. Why? Simply put, it’s a day
of Ramadhaan that person in reality didn’t fast. As a rule you must have intention before
Fajr, we spoke on that. You must have intention before Fajr. This person didn’t have that
intention. The fact that he abstain and fasted the rest of the day does not mean he does not
make up that day after Ramadhaan.
They went on to say that; fasting has a physical aspect to it or characteristic, which means to
abstain from that which voids the fast. It has a second characteristic which is; to have the
intention before Fajr. That makes a lot of sense it seems like its strong, but look at the
second opinion.
The second opinion is they said is Waajib to make it up. The second opinion is by Ibn
Taymiyyah, Maalikiyyah and small group of ‘Ulamaa is a minority opinion. That whoever
abstains from the remainder of the day and he didn’t know it was Ramadhaan, he doesn’t
have to make up that day.
What’s their proof? Their proof is in the Hadith of ‘Ashoora that I mention earlier. When the
Messenger ordered sallallahu alayhi wa sallam his messenger to make an announcement
to abstain from eating, drinking and that which voids the fast for the remainder of the day.
He didn’t tell his messenger and also tell them make up that day.
The second proof; those who didn’t know they ate for a portion of the day not knowing it
was Ramadhaan, it was by error and mistake. They ate, they possibly had intercourse with
their spouses, this was before it was confirmed to them that it was the day of Ramadhaan,
they didn’t violate the month. They were merely ignorant that Ramadhaan has started, so
they fall under what is exempted of forgetfulness and error.
So they said this falls under what’s exempted of error and forgetfulness.
A third proof that he used is Qiyaas (analogy). They compared this scenario to someone who
mistakenly thought it was sun down at Maghrib but it wasn’t. He broke his fast and thought
it was sun down but it wasn’t. we’ve mentioned a Hadith on this before and was the Hadith
in Bukhari where they said; we broke our fast during the lifetime of the Messenger sallallahu
Page | 85
alayhi wa sallam on a cloudy day and then the sun appeared. They broke their fast because
it was very cloudy. It got dark they thought it was Maghrib, they thought it was sun down.
Its turns out it was a cloud passing by. The sun resurface after the cloud went away. They
broke their fast think it was sundown during the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam life.
Then they found out it was still not Maghrib. They were not ordered by the messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam to make up that day. They said someone who after the day of
Ramadhaan starts, he does not know is Ramadhaan, then he finds he abstain when he finds
out for the rest of the day. He fast for the rest of the day, is just like that scenario, he
doesn’t have to make it up.
A fourth proof is they say, which is really in response, they say; this person didn’t have the
Niyyah the night before. That’s true, because he didn’t know it was Ramadan. Ibn
Taymiyyah responded to this, he said; this person did not have the Niyyah (the intention)
because he didn’t know it was Ramadhaan. What that person is ignorant of is not under his
control, therefore they’re exempted. Ibn Taymiyyah said; if someone knows the next day is
Ramadhaan and he delayed his Niyyah until after Fajr knowing that the next day is
Ramadhaan, is not going to be accepted. But these people they didn’t know the next day is
Ramadhaan. You can see even though this second opinion is a minority opinion, they’re
really is very strong in there proves.
A third opinion by Imam Ahmad and notice the Hanbali Madhab has three opinions on the
situation, three conflicting opinions on this situation. Third opinion is that; they don’t have
to abstain nor make it up. The correct opinion in between the first and the second opinion,
the correct opinion is something one of my Shuyookh Rahmatullah 'Alayh taught me, when
he said that opinion, those opinions, he said; my heart leans to the second opinion.
However is safer to make that day up. His heart leans to the second opinion that you really
don’t have to make it up, he said; but it’s safer to make it up. He said I would go as far as
saying is Waajib to make it up like the first opinion. So it’s really somewhere between the
first and second opinion. I actually believe that and I encourage and if someone were to ask
me, I would say; make up that day.

Page | 86
The author goes on to say; and likewise a woman on her menstrual cycle or a woman in her
post-natal bleeding and a traveller who returned home while he has broken his fast. What’s
all this mean? He said; and likewise. If a person found out that it was Ramadhaan during the
day, we already said; he abstains for the rest of the day, he fast for the rest of the day. We
said it’s a near Ijmaa’ on that. He is saying now; and likewise if a woman is on her menstrual
cycle becomes pure during the day, she must abstain for the rest of the day, she must fast
for the rest of the day. If a woman on her post-natal bleeding becomes pure during that day,
she has to abstain for the rest of the day, of that Ramadhaan day. If a traveller, he travelled
he went out he decided to break his fast because he was exempted he was on his journey,
he returned home before the sunset, the fasting hours of the day, he has to abstain for the
rest of the day when he returns home.
First of all the author didn’t include these three categories; woman on her menstrual cycle,
woman on her post-natal bleeding, and a traveller, he didn’t include these in the first
sentence. He separated them from the previous sentence from those who found out during
the day of Ramadhaan that today is the day of Ramadhaan, he separated those two
sentences likewise:
ِ
ُض َوﻧُـ َﻔ َﺴﺎء
ٌ َوَﻛ َﺬا َﺣﺎء
Why didn’t he include them altogether in one sentence? He could have, it could have been
more eloquent to do so. He separated them with the word Wakadhaa (ﺬا
َ )وَﻛ. The answer to
َ
that is these matters are greatly disputed. There is a trend and many of the Fiqh books
where they usually mention issues where they have Ijmaa’ (consensus) on them first or
close to an Ijmaa’. Like an overwhelming majority of Ulamaa’ supporting that opinion or a
near Ijmaa’. Then they follow that with issues that may be widely disputed by saying;
likewise Wakadhaa, the tag them on with Wakadhaa.
The man or woman who found out during the day that its Ramadhaan must abstain, fast for
the rest of the day, that’s near Ijmaa’. We stated Ibn Abdil Barr the only one I know of who
disagreed with this was ‘Aadhah. That’s as close to an Ijmaa’ as you can get. But then a
woman on her menstrual cycle who becomes pure and clean that day or a traveller or a
woman on her post-natal bleeding date, these three issues that the author mentions here
after he mentions Wakadhaa - and likewise, they’re widely disputed unlike the first matter.
So the author separated them from the first matter by the sentence Wakadhaa – and
likewise. He separated those three conditions from one who finds out during the day that
it’s Ramadhaan by saying Wakadhaa because these three issues are widely disputed.
Page | 87
Now let’s talk about these three categories issues; a woman on her menstrual cycle, a
woman after her post-natal bleeding and a traveller who returns home. A woman on her
menstrual cycle or post-natal bleeding becomes pure at Dhuhr. Dhuhr she’s finished, the
bleeding is done and she takes a shower and she is clean. She has to make up that day and
all the days that she missed while she was on her days on her menstrual cycle or post-natal
bleeding. There is no questions that they have to make up the missed days.
Whoever is ill and on a journey they same number of days which they didn’t observe in
Siyaam, he must make up. That’s for a traveller.
And as for a woman who’s Haaidh or Nufasa’a, by Ijmaa’ in the Hadith in Sahih Muslim:
ﻀ ِﺎء اﻟ ﱠ
ﺼﻼَ ِة ِ ُﻛ ﱠﻦ ﻧـﺆﻣﺮ ﺑَِﻘﻀ ِﺎء اﻟ ﱠ
َ ﺼ ْﻮم َوﻻَ ﻧُـ ْﺆَﻣ ُﺮ ﺑَِﻘ َ َُ ُْ
‘Aishah said; we were commanded to not make up the prayer but we were commanded to
make up the fasting.
Now the first opinion according to Abu Haneefah and one of two opinions by Imam Ahmad
chosen by the author of this book and the Madhab of the Maalikiyyah, is a woman on her
menstrual cycle or post-natal bleeding day when she becomes pure of that. She has to fast
for the remainder of that day and on of that day, since she could not do an entire Waajib
which is fast the entire day. She can do a partial Waajib by fasting the remainder of the day
when she is pure. They also said; the woman or a traveller who’s exempted from fasting
that day for an excuse, the excuses is no longer there, so they must abstain. That’s their
rational behind it.
Page | 88
THE SECOND OPINION
The second opinion is one of two opinions by Imam Maalik and one of two opinions by
Imam Ahmad. And it’s the opinion of Imam Ash-Shafi’ee; that a woman does not need to
fast or abstain for the remainder of that day when she becomes pure. As longs as of course
what we mentioned before she doesn’t do it publicly. This opinion said first of all; they were
permitted to eat in the start of the day so they can eat and continue eating for the rest of
the day. Also they said there is no benefit in them abstaining for the rest of the day, fast rest
of the day.
Someone who didn’t know who didn’t know it was Ramadan and they found out and he
fasted some ‘Ulamaa say when he fast the rest of the day he doesn’t need to make it up, we
said its safer to make it up. Here a woman on her menstrual cycle or post-natal bleeding or a
traveller who returned home, there’s no dispute that says; they don’t make it up. It’s by
Ijmaa’ that they must make it up. So they ‘Ulamaa here are saying; there’s no benefit in
them fasting the rest of the day. The fact that she needs to make up that day regardless and
the fact that the traveller who returned home needs to make up that day regardless, makes
fasting for the remainder of the day feral and useless.
A third, a strong proof is what is narrated in Abi Shaybah that Ibn Mas’ood radhiallahu 'anhu
said:
This is the correct opinion, a woman who’s on her menstrual cycle or post-natal bleeding
becomes pure during that day at Dhuhr, Asr or right before Maghrib, she does not have to
abstain or fast for the rest of the day. A traveller who returns during the fasting hours to his
home and family, he decided on his journey to break his fast. Now that his home he doesn’t
have to abstain for the rest of the day. Of course we stated before that this should be done
in secrecy and in respect to Ramadhaan and to Muslims and also to avoid of being accused.
So for example a scenario that I can give you; if a husband returns from a journey, a journey
he broke is fast on. He decided to break his fast because he is excused. A wife at home that
day became Taahirah (pure) from her menstrual cycle, they can have sexual intercourse that
day of Ramadhaan. It Halaal there is no Kaffaarah. I read a rule some Fuqahaa’ stated which
I very much like on this matter and they said; whoever breaks their fast for any legitimate
reason, then that reason has happens to go away during the hours of fasting, they don’t
have to abstain for the remainder of that day after the reason that they were allowed to
break their fast for goes away. Whoever breaks his fast for any legitimate Islamic, Fiqh
Page | 89
reason, then that reason happens to go away during the day then they don’t have to abstain
the rest of day, they don’t have to fast for the rest of the day.
Another scenario, the reason is whoever breaks his fast for legitimate reason then that
reason goes away during that day, they don’t have to abstain for the rest of the day, the rule
that I gave you.
Another scenario more practical and that the author I’m not sure why he didn’t mention it,
a person who’s ill he broke his fast because he’s ill, he is exempted. After Asr he is as healthy
as can be, the fever or whatever he had went away. He doesn’t have to abstain for the rest
of the day. Why? We told; whoever break his fast for a legitimate reason then that reason
goes away during the day. Now he’s cured he doesn’t have to abstain. And we mentioned to
you the statement that Ibn Mas’ood radhiallahu 'anhu stated in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah.
So that the on this matter.
CLASS ELEVEN
Page | 90
Ebola or like that is aids, the last stages of aids for example. Those kind of diseases, the first
issue is the author is saying, it’s not disputed whatsoever that when they are not able to
fast, they don’t have to. Remember the conditions that we took, this all ties into each other
, we said Muslim, second one is Mukallaf - sane over the age of puberty, third one we said is
Qaadirin - ability. He can’t fast, he is not able to fast. He doesn’t expect to be cured, the old
man doesn’t expect to go back to his youth. So they don't have to fast, they are enable to
fast.
Allah said:
The same proof that we used that when we talked about Qaadirin - ability, is the same proof
we used today.
So the author goes on to say; let’s break it down a little bit more:
ٍ اَ ْو َﻣ َﺮ
ض ﻻَ ﻳُـ ْﺮ َﺟﻰ ﺑُـ ْﺮُؤ ُﻩ
Or an incurable illness. Some type of incurable disease, whatever it maybe. The author
specified those two conditions here because they’re different than one who is ill with a
curable illness. That’s going to be our next topic after this Inshaa Allah. What’s the ruling on
those? The author said:
Page | 91
day. We said there is no dispute among the ‘Ulamaa that you can break your fast in such
conditions, that’s by Ijmaa’. The dispute is whether they must feed a poor person for each
day that they missed.
The first opinion is that of Imam Ahmad, Abu Haneefah, ash-Shaafi’ee in one of two
opinions Rahimahullah Jamee'an. They said the old or woman who are too weak to fast
because of their age or someone with an incurable illness they break their fast but they
must feed a poor person for every single day that they missed.
What’s your proof? They said it’s the statement by Ibn Abbaas that has a narration in Sahih
Bukhari and other narrations in Sunan al-Daraqutni and Abu Dawud and other of Sunan,
they worded it a little bit slightly different but they mean the same thing. Where ‘Aadha
said, that he heard Ibn Abbaas radhiallahu 'anhuma reciting the verse
We took this before, so if you keep reviewing what you have, you will understand this very
clearly. Those who can fast they have a choice either fast or feed a poor person, in Surat al-
Baqarah. Ibn Abbaas said this verse is not abrogated but it is meant for an old man or old
woman who has no strength to fast, they should feed one poor person for each day instead
of fasting. Ibn Abbaas his point is very strong, not only because of the understanding he had
of it but also because he is a Sahaabi who specialises in Tafseer. A man who the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam made Du’aa for him. He had a deep understanding of this verse.
The verse is the verse that we mentioned in the start of our classes. It’s the one that
pertains to the second level of fasting. We said the first level of fasting was 'Ashoora then it
was abrogated. It was abrogated by the second level of fasting which was Ramadhaan by
choice. You have the choice, you either fast or pay a poor person a meal per day that you
missed. Then the deep understanding from that of Ibn Abbaas was in the early days, people
has the right to choose between fasting and feeding a poor person. Now that ruling has
been abrogated by the fact that everyone must fast, that’s the final stage. However he is
saying that verse in that early stage considered feeding a poor person a replacement to
Page | 92
fasting. It was a replacement and it’s equal to fasting. He said now this person is too old
does not expect to be a youth again, so the replacement to fasting in his condition is feeding
a poor person, one per day that he missed.
There are many narrations to Ibn Abbaas' statement radhiallahu 'anhuma. One narration
was that when ‘Ikrimah asked Ibn Abbaas if an old man can’t fast, what should he do? Ibn
Abbaas said, he breaks his fast, he doesn’t have to fast and he feeds a poor person for every
single day. A Madd he feeds a poor person a Madd per day, and we will talk about what a
Madd is.
Another proof on that is in al-Daraqutni, where he narrated that Anas radhiallahu 'anhu
became weak toward the end of his life. He made a meal and invited thirty people to
compensate for the Ramadhaan that he missed.
The second opinion on this, Maalik, Ash-Shaafi’ee and his second opinion because
previously we said he had two opinions. Ash-Shaafi’ee in his second opinion said that an
older person or one with an incurable disease my break their fast, as we said that’s not
disputed, but they said they don’t even have to compensate by feeding a poor person for
every day that they missed. Why Maalik? Maalik Rahimahullah says, if a person get sick in
the middle of Ramadhaan, look at this scenario, if a person get sick in the middle of
Ramadan on the fifteenth, sixteenth day of Ramadhaan whatever, and his illness continues
for another fifteen day after Ramadhaan until he dies. He said we all agree in a scenario like
that, that one does not have to pay a poor person for a day nor does his family need to take
out his inheritance for that nor is he held accountable to that, we all agree on that he said.
We don’t request that he pays a poor person per day.
Those are the two opinions, you see the proofs and rationale for each. In this matter it’s
really the first opinion that would be much stronger because it’s the understanding of more
than one Sahaabi. The argument and the way Ibn Abbaas drew that rational was very strong
and very deep. The bottom line is they must feed a poor person each day that they break
their fast.
Page | 93
and he fed them. So understanding of the Sahaabah on a matter like that is given president
in such matters.
And it’s mentioned in a Hadith by the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which is
authentic:
اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺑﺎرك ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ، اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺑﺎرك ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺪﻳﻨﺘﻨﺎ، اﻟﻠﻬﻢ ﺑﺎرك ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ ﻣﻜﺘﻨﺎ
و ﺑﺎرك ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ ﻣﺪﻧﺎ، و ﺑﺎرك ﻟﻨﺎ ﻓﻲ ﺻﺎﻋﻨﺎ، ﺷﺎﻣﻨﺎ
As-Saa’ is four Madd. A Madd is a handful like that, and that’s equal to two point four or
two point five kilograms. By the way a Saa’ of rice is a measurement you are obligated to
give at the end of Ramadhaan for Zakat al-Fitr. So you know a Saa’ is four of this (both hands
together). It is 2.4 kilograms or five point two nine or so pounds. A Madd is one fourth of
that, this is a Madd (both hands together), a Saa’ is four of this.
How much does a person who terminally ill or permanently ill to fast give?
Page | 94
four kilos that’s approximately one point two kilos that you give of dates or rice or raisins
something of that nature. How do we know these calculations, did we make them up?
The first opinion on that is that it’s something that we know by ‘Urf ()ﻋﺮف. ‘Urf is
something that is common amongst people, what’s widespread amongst people. It what
people commonly know it’s sufficient for average person’s meal. This means when you go
by ‘Urf, it changes, it may change over time. Some people over time may it more or less, so
it changes. However it’s really a higher status than what is referred to as ‘Urf. Because Ibn
Abbaas radhiallahu 'anhuma specifically mentioned this measurement one of his narrations.
He said in the narrations in al-Daraqutni:
It’s a Shaykh, it’s an older man or older woman who are unable to fast, they should feed for
every day a half a Saa’. Two of these (both hands together) - two Madds. There is another
narration also a Hadith pertaining to feeding a poor person, not about Ramadhaan but
about matters in Hajj but we use it.
Ka'b bin 'Ujra said, he was ill during Hajj, they carried him to the Messenger sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam because lice falling of head on his face. In Hajj you can’t shave, if you shave you
got to pay a person, you got to compensate. He said he was too ill with lice that the
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, I have never thought that your ailment has
reached to this extent. He need to shave his hair for the problem he had with lice during
Hajj, it was a very bad one. Whoever does that has to paid Fidyah (compensate). The
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam asked him; can you afford a sheep? He said negative, I
can’t do that, I can’t afford a sheep. That’s what you got to do if you shave your hair in the
Ihraam, during your Hajj. He said then fast three day or feed six person each with a half of
Saa’ of food. Each with half a Saa’, that’s our point right there.
You see what he said? He said feed six people each with a half a Saa’ of food, so he
specified. The Hadith specified the quantity a person must feed when he must feed a poor
person for something that he did in Hajj. Whether it’s a Hajj illness or Ramadhaan illness
that’s not the issue here. The point that we have and we take from that Hadith is that the
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam specified an amount that is to be given to a poor
person when you are supposed to give them.
Page | 95
That’s the foundation of proof of a half of Saa’, two of these (both hand together) for the
poor. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said half a Saa’. But if someone wants to give
wheat, we said he gives one fourth of a Saa’. Where did that one fourth come from? They
said it’s because wheat is in high demand and it is much more expensive back then.
Therefore it should be a little bit, in order to be far, it got to be less than that. So regular
food like dates, rice is a half a Saa’, the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stated that,
Ibn Abbaas and his narrations confirmed that. If it is wheat, due to its higher price and
demand, then they did the educated guess Ijtihaad that it’s one fourth of a Saa’. Keep in
mind that Kaffaarah and the details that we mentioned, because this comes up in many
other issues of Fiqh. If we continue to study Fiqh, it will come up many other issues in Fiqh.
Let’s move on.
The first one is the weaker of the two opinions which is Ibn Taymiyyah Rahimahullah said,
you can make up the fast of another person. You can fast, you can voluntary fast while they
are alive, it permissible because he compared it to paying another person’s debt. He
basically said the same way you can pay another person’s debt, you can also fast instead of
him. That’s not really that accurate.
The second opinion which is the overwhelming majority of the ‘Ulamaa and it’s really the
correct opinion. They say that fasting is a physical worship where Islam did not allow
delegation like Salah, Islam did not delegate Salah, I can’t make Salah for another person.
An-Nawawi Zakariyya al-Ansari said, it’s by Ijmaa’ that one can’t make up the fast of
another person who is alive. You can’t delegate in ‘Ibaadah of fasting. You can’t delegate in
‘Ibaadah. The origin is that you can’t delegate, meaning a person can’t do on behalf of
another unless there is proof. You can’t do any ‘Ibaadah on behalf of another person unless
there is proof. Delegation in ‘Ibaadah is an exception that need a specific proof.
At-Tirmidhi Rahimahullah said, Charity, Hajj, ‘Umrah, Salah you can do it on behalf of
another person, you can delegate someone to do it on your behalf, with some restriction
Page | 96
and rules to it. That’s very accurate. Keep in mind if someone were to read this at-Tirmidhi’s
opinion you might go and say, look at-Tirmidhi said you can do Salah on behalf of another
person. He said Salah, but he didn’t mean independent Salah on behalf of another person.
He means Salah that is part of ‘Umrah and Hajj, other than that you can’t because when
you Tawaaf seven times you have go make Salah. If you are doing Hajj or ‘Umrah on behalf
of someone else then that Salah is on the behalf of someone else. But not an independent
Salah. So when one person is alive, you cannot fast on their behalf. Even if they’re
terminally ill or because of an old age and their weakness.
CLASS TWELVE
We left off yesterday talking about those who are weak and at an older age and they can’t
fast or those with an incurable terminal illness.
َو َﺳ ﱡﻦ
Means it’s Sunnah, it’s Sunnah to break the fast of one who is ill or sick. Does that mean any
illness?
ﻀ ﱡﺮُﻩ
ُ َﻳ
If fasting harms him. We will explain the levels of harm. If it harms him, the author said it is
not only permissible but it is actually Sunnah. He has the right to do it and on top of that the
author adopts the opinion that it is Sunnah. Sunnah here means that he gets reward for
breaking his fast if he is ill in that fasting may harm him. It’s by Ijmaa’, by consensus no
‘Ulamaa disagree overall, that when one is ill he has the right to break his fast.

But if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other
days. (Surat al-Baqarah: 184)
If any of you are ill or on a journey then they should make up the number of days that they
missed after Ramadhaan.
If one fears if fasting will cause his illness to worsen or it may slow the recovery or progress,
then it’s Sunnah to break that fast. This is what the author was talking about. This is the
category that he meant it is Sunnah to break your fast. Actually this is the opinion of a great
vast majority of the ‘Ulamaa.
Is when fasting may cause someone to reach the level of danger, something like death or
close to death or extreme hardship. Now in this one is not only Sunnah to break your fast
but it is Waajib upon you to break your fast. It’s the mercy of The Most Merciful Allah
subhaanahu wa ta’aala that he obligated fasting and he also obligated that one breaks his
fast if the fasting puts his illness at danger. Someone with a Kidney failure, diabetic, if he
puts his life in danger thinking he is doing good he has in reality sinned. May gets sins
because of it
Page | 98
﴾٢٩ : ﴿اﻟﻨﺴﺎء... َوﻻَ ﺗَـ ْﻘﺘُـﻠُﻮاْ أَﻧ ُﻔ َﺴ ُﻜ ْﻢ...
And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). (Surat an-Nisaa’: 29)
Don’t kill yourselves. The verse don’t kill yourself applies to circumstance and situations like
this. In a Hadith in Sunan Abu Dawud, Amr Ibn Al -'Aas said I was in the battle on the journey
of The Battle of Dhat al-Salaasil and I had a sexual dream in one of the nights. He said I was
afraid to wash myself with water because it was cold, it was freezing. So he said I performed
Tayammum, instead of washing and taking a shower with water, he did Tayammum with
dirt. Not only he made Salaatul Fajr but he led Salaatul Fajr. So the Companions when they
reach Madinah they went to the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. They said Amr Ibn Al
-'Aas had a sexual dream and he didn’t take a shower, rather he did Tayammum. The
Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, Amr you led your Companions while you where
impure (the major impurity)?
Amr Ibn Al -'Aas explained to the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam what had happened,
and he was afraid that it might cause extreme hardships to him. Then he told the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and I heard Allah say:
Don’t kill yourself, verily Allah is Merciful with you. This is Amr explaining to the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam began to laugh and
didn’t say anything. When the Messenger laughs, he didn’t say anything that implies
approval, that’s approval. Had he been silent that would have been approval. When he
laughed, that’s additional confirmation of the approval. Not only did he approve what he
did, but he approved his usage of the verse, Don’t kill yourself in circumstances like that.
Using Tayammum of dirt instead of water when he fears that it may cause him some kind of
harm.
The third type of illness is that which does not affect a person. Like a little pain you got in
your finger, a toothache, a little head, a cough or some mild form of allergy. If it is
something that has no affect with fast, it does not affect your fast the ‘Ulamaa disputed if
one can break his fast in this type or not.
Page | 99
The majority of the Fuqahaa' say, the illness in the verse that exempts one from fasting is
not any type of illness. It’s an illness that has to be in category one or category two that we
mentioned. Something like this category is Haraam to break your fast for.
Number two opinions, some of the Salaf disagreed. They said one can break his fast even if
it is a small pain on the tip of your finger or a little toothache.
Their proof is that, the main proof that they use is; when Allah subhaanahu wa ta’aala said:
﴾١٨٤ : ﴿اﻟﺒﻘﺮة
But if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other
days. (Surat al-Baqarah: 184)
They said it is not specified that it has to extreme illness. So any type of illness is sufficient.
Al-Adharidi said, I entered up Muhammad Ibn Sirin when he was eating in Ramadhaan. It
appears from the story that it did look like Ibn Sirin was ill, otherwise he wouldn’t have
asked him. Al-Adharidi asked Ibn Sirin, why are you eating in Ramadhaan? Muhammad Ibn
Sirin Rahimahullah said, because I hurt my finger. Al-Qurtubi the ‘Aalim, the Mufassir, the
Fiqhih. Al-Qurtubi commenting on this and says; this is the best opinion on this matter in
this situation. A little tiny pain in his finger. Now Ibn Jurayj also said I asked ‘Aadha, what
illnesses can I break my fast for? ‘Aadha said, any type of illness. This was actually the
opinion of Bukhari Rahimahullah. He said I was ill in Nisabur and Ishaaq Ibn Rahway came in.
He (Ishaq Ibn Rahway) asked, did you break you fast? Bukahri said, yes. He said that’s good
because I thought you wouldn’t take the Rukhsah meaning I didn’t think you wouldn’t take
the permission of Allah excusing you and allowing you to break your fast.
Another proof is they said the traveller and ill are combined in the Ayah. Just like one can
break is fast for any type of travel, they can break their fast for any type of illness.
Page | 100
﴾١٨٥ : ﴿اﻟﺒﻘﺮة...ﻳُ ِﺮﻳ ُﺪ اﻟﻠﱠﻪُ ﺑِ ُﻜ ُﻢ اﻟْﻴُ ْﺴ َﺮ َوَﻻ ﻳُ ِﺮﻳ ُﺪ ﺑِ ُﻜ ُﻢ اﻟ ُْﻌ ْﺴ َﺮ...
Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you. (Surat al-
Baqarah: 185)
The other ‘Ulamaa responded to this. They said just like we don’t consider a short travel a
reason for you to break your fast, a minor illness is also not a reason to break your fast. A
short journey from a Fiqh perspective is not considered a journey, they said. And likewise a
minor illness an illness from a Fiqh perspective.
So as you see there is two opinions on this matter, an illness which is considered minor
illness. However is probably safer and closer to the truth not to adopt the opinion that any
illness constitutes an exemption from fasting. Yes, the verse is broad and it’s mentioned just
illness but that illness is tied to a reason, which is making it easy for you. If it is not making it
easier for you then it probably more correct to say it is Haraam to break your fast. The
excuse for the ill should only be what falls under the first two categories. If one fears that
fasting will make his illness worst or slow the recovery or progress then that’s Sunnah. If it
causes extreme hardship something like death or near death or very extreme hardships
then it’s Waajib upon you and you must break your fast.
Normal day to day illness will not affect your fast and therefore one should not break his
fast. In fact the correct opinion that I believe is Haraam. However one must know that, that
opinion, the opinion of the little pain in your finger or your tooth is adopted by giants of the
‘Ulamaa and the Salaf and that’s why it should be respected. Like we said Ibn Sirin, Bukhari
and others.
One matter worthy of noting is that Ibn Hazm adopted the opinion and he said, that if one is
ill, under category one or two, it’s Haraam for him to fast and his fasting is rejected,
because Allah said;
So he considered first of all Haraam, it’s sinful but also it’s not valid, because a sick person
according to him should not be fasting in Ramadhaan.
That’s of course an extreme opinion, some said also the timing of the fast for one who is ill
is not even in Ramadhaan, if you are sick and you are in Ramadhaan, you are not supposed
to be fasting because that’s not the timing.
Page | 101
Allah said:
Make up from other days. That’s like me praying before the time, I get up before Asr ten,
fifteen minutes and I make the Asr. They said the timing of one who is ill is not during
Ramadhaan, he fast after Ramadhaan if he’s ill.
Some matter they are obvious, you can judge for yourself. You know your illness yourself.
Sometimes it’s a doctor who can advice you and tell you because sometimes you may not
even feel it and they can tell you there is something wrong. It can even be the ‘Ulamaa said
a Kaafir doctor.
A PERSON ON A JOURNEY
Then he mentions after this:
ِ ِ
ْ َوﻟ ُﻤ َﺴﺎﻓ ٍﺮ ﻳَـ ْﻘ
ﺼ ُﺮ
After the person who is ill, he said a person on a journey.
﴾١٨٤ : ﴿اﻟﺒﻘﺮة
But if any of you is ill or on a journey, the same number (should be made up) from other
days. (Surat al-Baqarah: 184)
The proof is in the same verse. He said it’s Sunnah to break the fast for one who’s travelling,
the distance that he is permitted to shorten his prayer. Notice he said for a traveler who
travels the distance of one who is allowed to shorten his prayer.
Page | 102
The term Safar ( )ﺳﻔﺮin Arabic means linguistically, one who clears away from his city. One
who leave his vicinity or city and clears away from it he is called a Musaafir. Just like a
Mufassir comes from the same root word. A Mufassir clears the meaning of the Qur’an for
us and a Musaafir clears away from his town or vicinity. That’s the linguistic, figurative
meaning of Safar.
The author said you can break your fast if the distance of your journey is the distance of one
who is allowed and permitted to shorten his Salah.
If we know that distance, that’s the type of journey one is allowed to break his fasting. This
is a greatly disputed issue and it is not the core of our fasting and it would take more than
double this Halaqah to explain the opinions with proves. Some specified a wide range of
distances like eighty-three kilometers, a little bit less or a little bit more and they went by
the distance. Some went by days and they said three days, a little bit less than that, some
said more than that. Some when by the distances of night and day, this was large group of
‘Ulamaa because the Hadith:
Ibn Taymiyyah adopted the opinion that, the correct opinion on this is based on ‘Urf. If one
leaves his area, vicinity and what’s commonly widespread and known as travel, then that’s
travel. I love that opinion and that’s what I go by. Many who I studied with also like that
opinion, but when they’ll be asked they would go by eighty or eighty-five kilometers to be
safe.
Now keep in mind, breaking fast is your right even if there’s no hardship. Even if there’s no
Mashaqah, that’s not a condition. So if you are travelling First Class on a journey and there’s
no hardship, you can still break your fast if it is considered travel.
There’s numerous Ahaadith that the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the
Sahaabah fasted in their journey. And there’s other Ahaadith where the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and the Sahaabah broke their fast while they were travelling.
Now let go through the details of it.
Page | 103
The first one is if you are on a journey and if you were to fast on that journey would cause
severe hardship or death, this is similar to what we took just moments ago in the second
category of someone who fast while he is ill and it causes severe hardship or death. It would
be Haraam because the Hadith of Amr Ibn Al -'Aas radhiallahu ‘anhu and the understanding
of the verse:
In fact the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam when he left to Makkah during the year of
conquest, it was in Ramadhaan, he was fasting. And he and the people fasted until they
reached a town on their way there. From the mercy of the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam is that he must have seen the Sahaabah were in a hardship and yet they didn’t want
to break their fast. So he went and asked for a cup of water and then he elevated it so
people could see and then he began to drink. He was informed later on some refused or
continued to fast, they continued their fast. So the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
said- those who continued to fast: those are the disobedience ones, those are the
disobedience ones.
The first opinion according to this book and it is the opinion of the Hanbali Madhab and it is
also the opinion of Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbaas, Sa'eed Ibn Al-Musayyib, ash-Shabi, al-Awza’i that
it is better not to fast. The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam seen people gathered
around the a man. So he asked them what was happening. They said it’s a man who
exhausted because of his fasting.
The Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, it’s not righteousness to fast when
travelling:
Page | 104
ﺴ َﻔﺮ
ﻴﺎم ﻓﻲ اﻟ ﱠ
ُ ﺼ ﻟﻴﺲ ِﻣﻦ اﻟﺒِ ﱢﺮ اﻟ ﱢ
This Hadith applies to the previous scenario when fasting is exhausting to that point, where
he must have passed out.
However, this group took what the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said:
ﺴ َﻔﺮ
ﻴﺎم ﻓﻲ اﻟ ﱠ
ُ ﺼ ﻟﻴﺲ ِﻣﻦ اﻟﺒِ ﱢﺮ اﻟ ﱢ
It is not righteousness for one fast while he is travelling.
Imaam Ahmad Rahimahullah said Ibn Umar and Abu Hurairah the opinion that if one were
to fast while he is travelling, then he needs to make it up. That’s another way of saying that
his Siyaam while travelling is invalid. It is said that Ibn Umar also adopted that opinion. Ibn
Hazm Rahimahullah said al-Zuhri narrated that Abdur-Rahman Ibn ‘Awf radhiallahu ‘anhu
said, one who fast while he is travelling on a journey it’s like one who break his while he is
at home. You know are sinful it is for some to be sitting at home and break his fast, while he
has no excuse. Abdur-Rahman Ibn Awf said he gets the same amount of sin for one who
travels and fast.
It is by the majority of the ‘Ulamaa. They said it is permissible to fast while you are travelling
unless of course it falls under the category of being exhaustive or causes extreme hardship
or death. Ibn Abdul Barr responded to the previous opinion, like that of which Abdur-
Rahman Ibn Awf said and others said, we will considered it prohibited or invalid to fast while
you are travelling; Ibn Abdul Barr said is this opinion been abandoned by the ‘Ulamaa. That
it is Haraam or in valid to fast while you are travelling and it has been by the Hadith in
Bukhari and Muslim. Where a man asked the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam; shall I
fast while travelling?
He said sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, if you would like to fast, fast. And if you would like to
break your fast, break it.
ﺖ ﻓَﺄَﻓْ ِﻄ ْﺮ
َ َوإِ ْن ِﺷ ْﺌ، ﺼ ْﻢ َ إِ ْن ِﺷ ْﺌ
ُ َﺖ ﻓ
That’s the answer to this matter. That’s the correct opinion. If you wish then fast, and if you
wish then don’t fast. That’s the opinion on this matter. In another narration in Sunan al-
Nisa'i that man who asked was Amr Al-Aslami, he said O Messenger of Allah if I am able, if I
Page | 105
am able to fast while I am travelling, can I fast? He said, if you wish then fast and if you wish
don’t fast.
More so in Bukhari and Muslim Anas Ibn Maalik said we travelled with the Messenger
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam during the month of Ramadhaan. Those who observe the fast
found not fault with the breaker of the fast and those who broke their fast found no fault
with the one who observe the fast.
So the first opinion is that is Haraam to fast even if it is not difficult. The second opinion is a
matter of preference.
The third opinion is that by Abu Haneefah, Maalik, Ash-Shaafi’ee, Anas, Uthman Ibn Abi al-
‘As, ‘Umar Ibn 'Abdul Aziz, Mujahid, Qutaadah and others. They said it is better to fast while
you are on your journey.
The correct opinion on this what Qutaadah Rahimahullah said. He said the best choice for
one traveling, it’s what’s easier for him because Allah said:
The hardship and it is not that difficult then it is a matter of preference. Some who likes to
fast to get it over with in Ramadhaan. They don’t feel good about delaying Ramadhaan or
making up days, they’d rather fast it in Ramadhaan, then the can do it in Ramadhaan while
they are traveling. Some don’t like to miss days of Ramadhaan because they’re a blessing
and if they travel they don’t want to take off days of Ramadhaan day. They’re blessed days,
they’re cherished days, so they like to do it in Ramadhaan. They don’t want to the make up
day. Some it may be easier for them to fast in Ramadhaan because everyone is fasting in
whatever Muslim country that you go to. Wherever you have relative they’re all fasting. So
it is easier to do it in Ramadhaan. When the Messenger sallallahu alayhi wa sallam ordered
them, it was because of a hardships.
What it boils down to is as long as one doesn’t cause him some harm, then it is a matter of
preference. Ibn Abdul Barr Rahimahullah said and he responded to those who consider it
invalid or Haraam, he said that’s been an opinion that has been abandon by the Fuqahaa’
for the Hadith in Bukhari and Muslim where the Messenger gave Al Aslami the choice
between fasting or not when he said he is able to fast if he travels.

IMPORTANT MATTERS CONCERNING RAMADAN
Notes typed by AT 8
Edited by muminah_29
Abu Huraira (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah the Exalted and Majestic
said: 'Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except As-Siyam (the fasting) which is (exclusively)
for Me, and I will reward him for it.' Fasting is a shield. When anyone of you is observing fast, he
should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles
him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hand the soul of
Muhammad is, the breath of one observing Saum is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.
The one who fasts, experiences two joys: he feels pleasure when he breaks the fast. He is joyful
by virtue of his fast when he meets his Rubb."
The first part of the month of Ramadaan is mercy, the middle of it is forgiveness and the end of it
is freedom from the Fire." [This hadeeth is Munkar (rejected).]
Al-'Uqaylee said: "It has no basis of it to be from the hadeeth narrated by az-Zuhree"
I say: Ibn 'Adee said: "Sallaam (ibn Sulayman ibn Sawwar) is in my view rejected in Hadeeth and
Maslamah in not known." And this is also said by adh-Dhahabi.
Abu Haatim said about Maslamah that he is matrook in Hadeeth (i.e. his ahadeeth are abandoned)
as mentioned in the translation of "al-Meezan" and it comes at the end of the hadeeth number
1580.
Shaikh is quoting the above Hadith because it has gained considerable amount of fame in
households even though it is Munkar
There is one man who is not accountable in the chain of the Hadith
However, you will hear Scholars quoting it on TV for the benefit of the Ummah
WHY IS IT THAT ALLAH CHOSE THE MONTH OF RAMADAN FOR US
TO FAST IN
Allah chose the month of Ramadan for us to fast in, because of the answer given in the following
Ayah:
The month of Ramadān in which was revealed the Qur'ān, a guidance for mankind and clear
proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights
(the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadān i.e. is present at his home), he must
observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days
which one did not observe Saum (fasts) must be made up] from other days.
(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
It is a book without a single literal or grammatical mistake, even though the Prophet (SAWS) was
unable to read or write
We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered.
(Al-An'am 6:38)
Every subject that you want to learn about is present and explained in the Quran
The Quran is the FURQAAN (Criterion) for you to judge between right from wrong and good from
evil.
Therefore, we must be extremely thankful and grateful to ALLAH, who has bestowed upon us this
MERCY
Ibn Kathir in his TAFSEER said: Indeed Allah has revealed the most sacred book in the best
language (ARABIC) via HIS closest angel (JIBREEL) to HIS favourite Prophet (Muhammad SAWS )
in the holiest month (RAMADAN), in the most sacred City (MAKKAH)
ARABIC is the SUNNAH OF ALLAH
Verily, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'ān in order that you may understand.
(Yusuf 12:2)
The reason ALLAH chose to reveal the Quran in the Arabic language is because it is a language
free from ambiguities.
IF Allah revealed the Quran in a Pigeon (Many Ambiguities) Language, then people could mess
around with the word of ALLAH
Imam Shafi'i (rh) said: "Every Muslim is obligated to learn the Arabic tongue to the utmost of his
power in order [to be able] to profess through it that "There is no Ilah but Allah and Muhammad is
His Messenger" and to utter what is mandated upon him, the takbir, and what is commanded, the
tasbih, and the tashahhud and others."
[Al-Risala al-Shafi'i (pg. 47)]
Ibn Taymiyyah said: “As for becoming accustomed to talking to one another in a language other
than Arabic, which is the symbol of Islam and the language of the Qur’aan, so that this becomes a
habit in the land, with one’s family and household members, with one’s friends, in the
marketplace, when addressing government representatives or authority figures or when speaking
to people of knowledge, undoubtedly this is makrooh (disliked), because it involves being like the
non-Arabs, which is makrooh, as stated previously.
Hence when the early Muslims went to live in Syria and Egypt, where the people spoke Byzantine
Greek, and in Iraq and Khurasaan, where the people spoke Farsi, and the Maghrib (North Africa)
where the people spoke Berber, they taught the people of those countries to speak Arabic, so that
Arabic became the prevalent language in those lands, and all the people, Muslim and kaafir alike,
spoke Arabic. Such was also the case in Khurasaan in the past, then they became lax with regard
to the language and got used to speaking Farsi until it became prevalent and Arabic was forgotten
by most of them. Undoubtedly this is makrooh.
The best way is to become accustomed to speaking Arabic so that the young people will learn it in
their homes and schools, so that the symbol of Islam and its people will prevail. This will make it
easier for the people of Islam to understand the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and the words of the Salaf,
unlike a person who gets used to speaking one language, then wants to learn another, and finds it
difficult.
AuthenticTauheed5: Know that being used to using a language has a clear and strong effect on
one’s thinking, behaviour and religious commitment. It also has an effect on making one resemble
the early generations of this Ummah, the Sahaabah and Taabi’een. Being like them improves
one’s thinking, religious commitment and behaviour.
Moreover, the Arabic language itself is part of Islam, and knowing Arabic is an obligatory duty. If it
is a duty to understand the Qur’aan and Sunnah, and they cannot be understood without knowing
Arabic, then the means that is needed to fulfil the duty is also obligatory.
There are things which are obligatory on all individuals (fard ‘ayn), and others which are
obligatory on the community or ummah (fard kifaayah, i.e., if some people fulfil them the rest are
relieved of the obligation).
This is the meaning of the report narrated by Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah who said: ‘Eesa ibn
Yoonus told us from Thawr from ‘Umar ibn Yazeed that ‘Umar wrote to Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari (may
Allaah be pleased with him) and said: ‘learn the Sunnah and learn Arabic; learn the Qur’aan in
Arabic for it is Arabic.’
According to another hadeeth narrated from ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him), he said:
‘Learn Arabic for it is part of your religion, and learn how the estate of the deceased should be
divided (faraa’id) for these are part of your religion.’
This command of ‘Umar, to learn Arabic and Sharee’ah, combines the things that are needed, for
religion involves understanding words and actions. Understanding Arabic is the way to
understand the words of Islam, and understanding the Sunnah is the way to understand the
actions of Islam…”
[Iqtida' as-Sirat al-Mustaqeem (1/526-528)]
Every word in Arabic is classified as either Masculine or Feminine, therefore it is nearly
impossible to change meanings from their place or cause confusion.
The Spaniards changed their own language and followed the rules of Arabic when the Muslims
conquered them.
And this (the Qur'ān) is a blessed Book which We have sent down, confirming (the revelations)
which came before it, so that you may warn the Mother of Towns (i.e. Makkah) and all those
around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in (the Qur'ān), and they are constant in
guarding their Salāt (prayers).
(Al-An'am 6:92)
And (remember) when Ibrāhim (Abraham) said, "My Lord, make this city (Makkah) a place of
security and provide its people with fruits, such of them as believe in Allāh and the Last Day." He
(Allāh) answered: "As for him who disbelieves, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I
shall compel him to the torment of the Fire, and worst indeed is that destination!"
(Al-Baqarah 2:126)
The Dua of Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.) made Makkah a city of safety and security and abundant with
food
ALLAH is asking us a crucial question in the following Ayah
Have they not seen that We have made (Makkah) a sanctuary secure, and that men are being
snatched away from all around them? Then do they believe in Bātil (falsehood - polytheism, idols
and all deities other than Allāh), and deny (become ingrate for) the Graces of Allāh?
(Al-'Ankabut 29:67)
ALLAH has made Makkah a city of safety and security while men are being snatched and killed
from every other part of the world
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There may be a fasting person
who gets nothing more from his fast than hunger and thirst, and there may be a person who prays
qiyaam and all he gets from his qiyaam is a sleepless night.”
[Musnad Ahmad (2/373) No. 8843, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/591) No. 1690, Sunan al-Darime (2/390) No.
2720, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (3/242) No. 1997]
Since we do not want to be part of that category it is important for us to know how to gain
spiritually from fasting in Ramadan
In order for us to gain spiritually in Ramadan we need to approach RAMADAN from a SPIRITUAL
angle and not a CULTURAL angle
Hafsah (RA) reported the Prophet (SAW) as saying, “He, who has not formed an intention (to fast)
before dawn, has not fasted”.
[Sunan Tirmidhi (3/108) No. 730, Sunan Abu Dawud (2/329) No. 2454, Sunan al-Nasa'i (4/196) No.
2331, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/598) No. 1700, Sunan al-Darime (2/12) No. 1698, Musnad Ahmad (6/287)
No. 26500]
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: “Whoever thinks in his heart that he will fast tomorrow has
formed the intention.”
Anyone who does not make his Niyyah before the Azan of Fajr has no fast for that day; therefore
you need to make your Niyyah, even if it is the night before
We must learn how to make our intention of fasting in ARABIC
Nawaytu an asoom gadan min shahr Ramadan
You have to make 30 intentions’ for the 30 days of RAMADAN
We must also learn how to make our DUA to break our fast in ARABIC at the time of MAGHRIB
allahumma laka sumtu wa alay rizqika aftartu
Mu'adh bin Zuhrah narrated the Prophet (SAW) used to say when he broke his fast: "Allahumma
laka sumtu wa 'ala rizqika aftartu (O Allah, for You have I fasted and by Your provision I have
broken my fast)."
[Sunan Abu Dawud (2/306) No. 2358, al-Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (4/403) No. 8134]
The above mentioned DUA in Arabic and transliterated in English is how you break your fast.
To gain spiritually from RAMADAN, not only does your HEART need to fast, but YOUR TWO EYES
HAVE TO FAST from abstaining from looking at bad things
Your EARS HAVE TO FAST from avoiding listening to bad things
Your TONGUE has to fast from telling lies, backbiting and other bad things
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever does not give up forged speech and
evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his
fasting.)
[Sahih Bukhari (3/26) No. 1903]
Your HANDS have to fast from stealing and killing innocent people (NOTE: You are allowed to do
JIHAD in Ramadan)
Your PRIVATE PARTS have to fast, you are not allowed to go to bed with your wife until after
Maghrib
If you are able to restrain your Private Parts form your wife who is Halal for you, it becomes easy
to restrain your private parts from a woman who is Haraam for you
The Haraam woman could be a girlfriend or a mistress
Your TWO FEET have to fast, from going to bad places
Ubaid, the freed slave of the Prophet (SAW), reported “Two women were once fasting during the
lifetime of Allah’s Messenger and they almost died of thirst. This was mentioned to the Prophet
(SAW) but he turned away from (allowing) them (to break the fast). Then they were mentioned to
him again, so he called for them and ordered them to vomit, i.e. throw up, what was in their
stomachs. So they both vomited and filled up a bowl with puss, blood and pieces of flesh. Then
the Prophet (SAW) said: ‘These two fasted by refraining from what Allah made lawful for them. but
they broke their fast by doing what Allah made unlawful for them. One of them sat with the other
and they began to eat from the flesh of people.’”
The Dhaahiriyyah madhab uses the above mentioned Hadith as their HUJJAH
However, the Majority of the Scholars are of the Opinion that if you backbite and slander while
fasting, you gain the Wrath and Curse of ALLAH for your backbiting and slandering
Therefore, the fasting Muslim has to avoid anything that would break or even impair his/her
fasting and in order to gain BARAKAH for your fasting.
Fasting is an act of worship that aims at purifying the soul, reviving the conscience, strengthening
faith and making a Muslim more pious. Allah, Exalted be He, says, (O you who believe, fasting is
prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may ward off evil.)
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)
By the time ALLAH has deleted your Barakah for backbiting, you might end up without any
Barakah.
It all depends on the amount of backbiting you did.
Valid fasting is that which purifies one's soul and imbues goodness and righteousness into one's
heart, so that one may ward off evil, as conveyed in the words of Allah, Exalted be He, Who says:
(O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you, even as it was prescribed for those before you,
that you may ward off (evil).)
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)
Thus, whoever fasts in Ramadan is obliged to refrain from saying or doing anything that is
contradictory to the elevated manners expected from a fasting Muslim so as not to lose Allah's
reward for fasting and gain nothing but hunger, thirst, and deprivation, as explained in the Hadith,
"Fasting is a kind of protection. So, when anyone of you gets up in the morning in the state of
fasting, he should neither use obscene language nor do any act of ignorance. And if anyone
insults him or quarrels with him, he should say, ‘I am fasting, I am fasting.'"
Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is reported to have said, "Many a one who
fasts obtains nothing from his fasting but hunger and thirst, and many a one who prays during the
night obtains nothing from his night prayers but wakefulness."
(Reported by Al Nasa'i, Ibn Majah, and Al-Hakim, and is said to be authentic on the condition of Al-
Bukhari)
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is also reported to have said, "Whoever does not
give up false speech (telling lies and the like) and acting upon it, Allah is not in need of his leaving
his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting).”
Ibn Al-`Arabi maintains: This Hadith indicates that whoever does not abandon such evil deeds will
not be rewarded for his fasting, i.e. false speech (telling lies and the like) and acting upon it are
blameworthy to an extent that exceeds all limits. Ibn Hazm is of the opinion that committing such
sins invalidates one's fasting, in the same way that the act of eating and drinking deliberately do.
This was held by some of the Prophet’s Companions and followers.
`Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Fasting is not only to quit food and
drink, but also to refrain from telling lies, falsehood, and idle talk." `Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be
pleased with him) was reported as having the same point of view. Jabir `Abdullah Al-Ansari also
said: “When you fast, your eyes, ears, and tongue should abstain from falsehood and sins. You
should avoid hurting your servant. Refrain from anything demoralizing, and portray a picture of
tranquility while fasting for the day, your behavior on the day you are fasting should be better
than other days.”
Taliq ibn Qais reported that Abu Dharr said: “When you are fasting you should be on your guard
(against wrong actions) as much as you can.” Then Taliq observed, he used to stay home and not
to go out except for performing prayer. Abu Hurairah and his friends also used to stay in the
mosque while fasting saying, "Let us keep our fasting pure." It is narrated on the authority of
Maimun ibn Mahran that quitting food and drink is the easiest task required for valid fast.
To put it briefly, when one commits sins while fasting, one is to be rewarded for fasting, and
punished for the sins he committed, according to the following verse,
So, one is held accountable for each of his deeds separately, as is explained in another verse,
Let us reflect on the following Hadith concerning Allah’s reckoning His servants on the Day of
Judgment in order to find the proper answer for this and the two preceding questions. At-Tirmidhi
and Ahmad narrate on the authority of `A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that one of the
Prophet’s Companions came and when he sat down in front of Allah's Messenger (peace and
blessings be upon him) he said: "Messenger of Allah, I have slaves who lie to me, deceive me and
disobey me, and I revile and beat them. What do you think is my ruling as regards them?" Allah’s
Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) replied:
"On the Day of Resurrection account will be taken of the extent of their deceit, disobedience and
lying to you, and of the punishment you inflicted on them. If your punishment is less severe than
deserved for their offences, it will be something extra to your credit. If it is exactly right (if it
exactly makes up for their offences), it will count neither for you nor against you (you will neither
be punished nor rewarded for it). But if your punishment was more severe than deserved for their
offences, requital will be taken from you on their behalf for the excess."
The man went aside and began to shout and weep, so Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be
upon him) asked him if he did not recite the words of Allah, Exalted be He,
(We shall place the just scales for the Day of Resurrection and no soul will be wronged in any
respect, and even if there is only the weight of a grain of mustard-seed We shall bring it, and We
are sufficient to take account.)
(Al-Anbiya' 21:47)
Hence, the man returned: "O Messenger of Allah, nothing is better for myself and these men (i.e.,
his slaves) than to leave them. I call you to bear witness that they are all free.
Allah Almighty knows best.
Therefore the fasting person has to avoid anything that breaks or even compromises their fasting.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect
their private parts (from illegal sexual acts, etc.) and not to show off their adornment except only
that which is apparent (like palms of hands or one eye or both eyes for necessity to see the way,
or outer dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over
Juyubihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms, etc.) and not to reveal their adornment
except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husband's sons,
their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (i.e. their
sisters in Islām), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who
lack vigour, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex. And let them not stamp
their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allāh to forgive you
all, O believers, that you may be successful.
(An-Nur 24:31)
So the muslim woman who keeps fast but does not wear her hijaab will be rewarded for fasting
and she will be punished for not wearing the Hijaab.
The two acts are separate and you cannot make them singular.
Her fast is accepted and No Scholar has said her fast is rejected
One cannot give a blanket ruling to the effect that all diabetic people must skip fasting and only
need to offer fidyah (compensation). This is because each diabetic person is different from the
other in the way he or she reacts to fasting. If we find one diabetic person is adversely affected by
fasting, we also find another, in spite of being a diabetic, not at all troubled by fasting. This being
the case, one should never assume that all diabetic people are generally exempt from fasting.
AuthenticTauheed5: If a diabetic person has been advised by a reliable physician not to fast, or, if
after monitoring his/her sugar level, it has been established that he/she is adversely affected by
fasting, then he/she is exempt from fasting and should give fidyah instead.
If, on the other hand, it was found that he/she is not adversely affected by fasting, then he/she
must fast, and offering fidyah is not an option in his/her case.
In other words, exemption from fasting is granted only to those who are adversely affected by
fasting. Allah Almighty knows best.
The Scholars of Islam say, if the fasting causes his disease to become aggravated and become
worse then it is Haraam for that person to fast.
If the person is not being aggravated while fasting then, he should fast and fulfill his duty.
And do not kill yourselves (nor kill one another). Surely, Allāh is Most Merciful to you.
(An-Nisa 4:29)
A Person who is unable to fast must give $200US instead as compensation for the entire month of
Ramadan and fasting is not compulsory on them. (The amount varies from country to country)
If the man is poor and cannot afford the $200, then nothing is compulsory on him, neither the fast
nor the FIDDYA (compensation)
Allāh intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you
(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
And strive hard in Allāh's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that
His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islāmic Monotheism
to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islām), and has not laid upon you in religion any
hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islāmic Monotheism).
(Al-Hajj 22:78)
Muslim women taking tablets so that they can fast the whole month of
Ramadan without having them to avoid fasting by postponing their
menstruation - Is this Haraam, Halal or Makrooh?
The Scholars of Islam have studied this FIQH question and have come to the conclusion that IN
CASE A TRUSTWORHTY DOCTOR TESTIFIES THAT THEY WILL NOT HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS
BY TAKING THE MEDICATION, THEN THEIR ACTION IS HALAL, SINCE THEY ARE DOING IT FOR
PIETY AND NOT OUT OF VANITY
A MUSLIM PATIENT WHO TAKES OXYGEN FROM A TANK TO HELP
HIS BREATHING DIFFICULTY WHILE FASTING - DOES HIS ACTION
BREAK HIS FAST?
The Scholars say, why are you FASTING if you are in such a pathetic state.
Before answering your question, we would like first to state that Islam is the religion of easiness.
It imposes no hardship on its followers. Referring to this, Allah Almighty says,
Allah intends for you ease, and He does not want to make things difficult for you….”
(Al-Baqarah 185)
In his response to the question, Dr. Muhammad M. M. Abu Laylah, Professor of the Islamic Studies
& Comparative Religions at Al-Azhar University, states the following:
Such use of oxygen to help your mother breathe does not break her fasting. In case harm is
inflicted on her by fasting, she is permitted to break her fasting and she can offer fidyah by
feeding a poor person for every single day of fast she has missed, and she does not need to make
up for the fast she has missed if her sickness remains with her forever.
However, the ANSWER is that taking oxygen into your system mechanically, does not break your
fast because Oxygen is not considered food or drink.
It is not recommended to donate blood while fasting unless there is an absolute necessity to do
so.
Drawing lots of blood may make a person weak and thus he may be forced to break his fast. So
indulging in such an activity is not at all recommended as we are advised to keep our fasts intact
as best as possible.
Moreover, there are scholars who are of the opinion that drawing lots of blood would invalidate
one’s fast. This is the view of Imam Ahmad. However, Imam Ash-Shafi`i and others are of the view
that drawing of blood by itself does not break the fast, but one is not encouraged to do so as it
may render a person weak.
The ruling, however, is different when faced with an emergency. Such is the case when one must
donate blood to save a person’s life; in this case one must do so without any hesitation; it is
better for him to break his fast if he has to than continuing his fast.
Another exception: If a person is exceptionally strong and is certain that donating blood would
not render him weak at all, then there is no harm for him in donating blood, according to the view
of Imam Ash-Shafi`i and others.
In conclusion: Each person should consider his own state of health before embarking on this
action.
Allah Almighty knows best.
According to Imam Shaf'ii your fast is still valid. According to the Hanbali madhab if alot of blood
is removed from your body, your fast is broken.
Donating blood does not break your fast because cupping does not break your fast.
But if you have to donate blood as an act of emergency the wise thing to do is to break your fast
for that day and make it up another day
The Prophet peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever does not shun foul words and
acting accordingly, there is no need for him to deprive himself of food and drink.” He also said,
“Fasting is a shield (against sins or vices); so if one of you is fasting, let him not engage in
wrangling or foul deeds and idle talk. If anyone scolds or ridicules him, let him not retaliate; rather
he should simply say, I am fasting, I am fasting.”
Listening to music and watching movies, etc. while one is fasting may fall under the categories of
either sins or idle deeds or behavior. According to `A’ishah, the beloved wife of the Prophet
(peace and blessings be upon him), as well as great Imams such as Awza`i and a number of
scholars of the pious generations, activities such as backbiting, engaging in gossip and idle chats
will render one’s fast null and void.
Therefore, in their view, those who are guilty of such behavior must make up their fasts. Although
the majority of scholars do not share the same view as far as breaking the fast is concerned,
nevertheless, they also concur that such activities do take away true rewards and blessings of
fasting.
It is, therefore, imperative that we abstain from such behavior altogether. May Allah help us
preserve the sanctity of Ramadan. May He help us to use the great spiritual season to break
ourselves free of such habits.
Listening to Music and watching movies while fasting does not break your fast but it takes away
from the Barakah of your fasting.
Aisha (r.a.) however was of the view that indulging in such activities breaks your fast. The Majority
of Scholars however, have the above mentioned opinion
The Scholars said that those who abstained from all their Haraam activities during Ramadan and
then went back to their Haraam ways do not worship ALLAH but instead they worship RAMADAN
This is because the people went back to their Haraam activities when Ramadan is over
Therefore you need to ask yourself, who do you really worship, ALLAH or RAMADAN
(Al-An'am 6:112)
Ramadan is the month of mercy, the month of forgiveness and the month of salvation. Like a very
generous guest, it brings with it all sorts of goodness and happiness; a guest that brings with it the
perfumes of Paradise; a guest that gives away at least seventy cents for every cent bartered; a guest that
elevates the status of the believer and leads him/her closer to Allah; a guest that invites the believer to
Paradise, away from Shaitaan (Devil) and Hell Fire. Ramadan is the month of the Qur’an, the month of
charity, the month of solidarity and mutual help, the month of endurance and all blessings.
Salman Al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him), a Companion of Muhammad (May Allah's blessings
and peace be upon him), narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (May Allah's blessings and peace be upon
him) addressed us on the last day of Sha’ban (the lunar month preceding Ramadan) and said: “People, a
great blessed month has come upon you, a month containing Laylat al-Qadr which is better than a
thousand months. Allah has made fasting during it an obligation, and steadfastly observing its nights in
worship a voluntary act. Whoever undertakes an act of obedience to Allah during this month with a
righteous deed, it is as if he has performed an obligatory act at other times; and whoever performs an
obligatory act during it is as one who performed seventy obligations at other times. It is the month of
patience, and the reward for patience is Paradise It is the month of goodwill, during which provisions are
multiplied. Whoever feeds a fasting person will be compensated with forgiveness of sins and salvation of
his soul from Hell. He will also receive a reward equal to that of the person he feeds, without causing him
any reduction (in his
good deeds)."
The Companions said: "Not all of us can find something to feed a fasting person." The Prophet (May
Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) said: "Allah gives this reward to whoever feeds a fasting person
even with just a taste of milk or dates, or a drink of water. Whoever quenches the thirst of a fasting
person, Allah the Almighty makes him drink from my pond such that he will never feel thirsty again until he
enters Paradise.
It is a month whose beginning is mercy, whose middle is forgiveness and whose end is emancipation
from Hell. Therefore display four characteristics to a greater extent; with two of which you will please your
Lord, and two you cannot dispense with. The two with which you will please your Lord are to testify that
there is no one deserving of worship except Allah, and to seek His forgiveness; whereas the two which
you cannot dispense with are that you beseech Allah to place you in Paradise and that you seek refuge
with Him from Hell."
Abu Umaamah (may Allah be pleased with him), a companion of Muhammad (May Allah's blessings and
peace be upon him) said: "I said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an action by which I may enter
Paradise. He said: Take to Fasting, there is nothing like it."
"Allah, the Almighty and Master of Honor, says: "All actions of a person are for himself, except the case of
his fasting which is exclusively for Me and I shall pay (recompense) for him for the same." The fast is a
shield [against vice and the fire of Hell]. Therefore, when anyone of you is fasting s/he should abstain
from loose talk and avoid verbosity and noisy exchange of words." - Muhammad (May Allah's blessings
and peace be upon him)
Also, Sahl ibn Sa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (May Allah's blessings and
peace be upon him) said: "Indeed there is a gate of Paradise called ar-Rayyaan. On the day of
Resurrection those who fast will enter through it; no one enters it except for them, and when they have
entered, it is closed so that no one enters it, so when the last of them enters it, it is closed, and whoever
enters it drinks, and whoever drinks never becomes thirsty."
[Ibn Khuzaimah].
"Fasting is a shield with which a servant protects himself from the Fire [of Hell]." -Muhammad (May Allah's
blessings and peace be upon him)
[Ahmad]
"On the Day of Judgment, Fasting will say: O My Lord I prevented him from food and desires so accept
my intercession for him." - Muhammad (May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him)
"He who fasts Ramadan due to Iman (faith), hoping for reward (from Allah), will have his past sins
forgiven.” Muhammad (May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him)
"There are in the month of Ramadan in every day and night those to whom Allah grants freedom from the
Fire, and there is for every Muslim a supplication which he can make and will be granted." - Muhammad
(May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him)
[Al-Bazzaar, Ahmad]
Amr ibn Murrah al-Juhaanee (may Allah be pleased with him), a Companion, said: "A man came to the
Prophet May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him and said: O Messenger of Allah, what if I testify
that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah, and I observe
the five daily prayers, and I pay the zakat, and I fast and stand in prayer in Ramadan, then amongst
whom shall I be? He said: Amongst the true followers of the prophets and the martyrs."
[Ibn Hibbaan]
"Anyone who offers meal for the breaking of the fast of another person earns the same merit as the one
who was observing the fast without diminishing in any way the recompense of the fasting person." -
Muhammad (May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him)
[Tirmizi]
THE 21 MERITS OF RAMADHAN
Notes by AT8
Edited By Fatimah_38
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for
those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)
- TAQWA means to place between yourself and the WRATH of ALLAH a BARRIER, by doing what is
FARD and abstaining from what is HARAAM
On the authority of Suhail, bin Abi Saleh from his father: ‘A man once asked Abu Hurayra (RA),
‘What is al-taqwa?” He replied, “Have you ever taken a path filled with thorns?” The man replied,
“I have.” Abu Hurayra asked him, “What did you do?” He replied, “When I saw a thorn I would
dodge it or pass over it or behind it.” Abu Hurayra said, “That is al-taqwa.”’
- The whole purpose of fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is for you to accomplish that TAQWA
MERIT # 1
- RAMADAN KEEPS YOU IN TOUCH WITH THE HOLY QURAN
- This is because you aim to finish reciting the whole Quran in the month of Ramadan
- The Quran was revealed in the Month of RAMADAN
- Even the IMAM in the Masjid completes the QURAN during RAMADAN in his TARAWEEH recitation
- Taraweeh was done individually, as an individual effort before Umar (r.a.) united the Muslims
under one Imam (Ubayy Ibn K'ab) to pray Taraweeh
'Abdur Rahman bin 'Abdul Qari said, "I went out in the company of 'Umar bin Al-Khattab one
night in Ramadan to the mosque and found the people praying in different groups. A man praying
alone or a man praying with a little group behind him. So, 'Umar said, 'In my opinion I would
better collect these (people) under the leadership of one Qari (Reciter) (i.e. let them pray in
congregation!)'. So, he made up his mind to congregate them behind Ubai bin Ka'b. Then on
another night, I went again in his company and the people were praying behind their reciter. On
that, 'Umar remarked, 'What an excellent Bid'a (i.e. innovation in religion) this is; but the prayer
which they do not perform, but sleep at its time is better than the one they are offering.' He
meant the prayer in the last part of the night. (In those days) people used to pray in the early part
of the night."
- This was one of the greatest achievements of Umar (r.a.) during his caliphate, to unite all the
people under one Imam in the Masjid
- Umar told them to do 20 Rakat for Taraweeh.
Ibn Taymiyyah said (when refuting the view of those who quoted ‘Umar’s words “What a good
innovation this is” as meaning that innovation (bid’ah) is permissible): "With regard to qiyaam in
Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) introduced this to his ummah, and he led them in prayer
for a number of nights, because at his time they used to pray in congregation and individually.
But he did not persist in leading them in one congregation, lest that be made obligatory for them.
When the Prophet (SAW) died, shariah was established (and would not change after that). When
‘Umar (RA) became caliph, he united them behind one imam, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, who united the
people in one congregation on the orders of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA). ‘Umar (RA) was one of the
Rightly-Guided Caliphs, of whom the Prophet (SAW) said: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and
the way of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs after me; cling tightly to it.” So what he did was Sunnah but
he said, “What a good innovation this is,” because it was an innovation in the linguistic sense, as
they were doing something that they had not done during the life of the Messenger of Allah
(SAW), i.e., gathering to do this, but it is Sunnah in the shar’i sense.”
- Somebody shouted out Bid'aa and Umar replied this Bid'aa is a Blessing on the Ummah.
- Taraeweeh is not FARD, and therefore the PROPHET (SAWS) would not lead the people in the
Taraweeh prayer, fearing the people would consider it FARD
'A'isha reported that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) prayed one night in the
mosque and people also prayed along with him. He then prayed on the following night and there
were many persons. Then on the third or fourth night, (many people) gathered there, but the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not come out to them (for leading the Tarawih
prayer). When it was morning, he said: I saw what you were doing, but I desisted to come to you
(and lead the prayer) for I feared that this prayer might become obligatory for you. (He the
narrator) said: It was the month of Ramadan.
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said, when speaking about the matter of
one who prays ten rak’ahs with the imam, then sits down and waits for Witr and does not
complete the Taraaweeh prayers with the imam:
It grieves us deeply that we find in the Muslim ummah a group which differs concerning matters
in which differences of opinion are acceptable, and they take these differences as a means to
cause division. Differences within the ummah existed at the time of the Sahaabah, yet they
remained united. The youth in particular and to all those who are committed to Islam must
remain united, because they have enemies who are laying in wait.
Let us listen to what Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
Here we say that we should not go to extremes or be negligent. Some people go to extremes in
adhering to the number mentioned in the Sunnah, and say that it is not permissible to do more
than the number mentioned in the Sunnah, and they aggressively denounce those who do more
than that, saying that they are sinners.
This is undoubtedly wrong. How can they be sinners, when the Prophet SAWS (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him), upon being asked about night prayers, said that they are to be
done two by two, and he did not specify any particular number? Of course, the one who asked
him about the night prayer did not know the number, because if he did not know how to do it, it
is even more likely that he did not know the number. And he was not one of those who served
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) so that we might say that he knew what
happened inside his house. Since the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told
him how to do it but did not say how many times, it may be understood that the matter is broad
in scope, and that a person may pray one hundred rak’ahs then pray Witr with one rak’ah.
With regard to the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Pray as
you have seen me praying”, this does not apply in absolute terms even for these people. Hence,
they do not say that a person should pray Witr with five rak’ahs sometimes and with seven
rak’ahs sometimes and with nine rak’ahs sometimes. If we understand it in absolute terms, then
we would have to pray Witr with five rak’ahs sometimes and with seven rak’ahs sometimes and
with nine rak’ahs sometimes. But what is meant by the hadeeth is pray as you have seen me
praying with regard to how to pray not how many rak’ahs, unless there is a text to state what the
number is.
Whatever the case, a person should not be strict with people with regard to a matter that is
broad in scope. We have even seen some brothers who are strict on this matter accusing the
imams who pray more than eleven rak’ahs of following bid’ah, and they leave the mosque, thus
missing out on the reward of which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “Whoever stands with the imam until he finishes (the prayer), the reward of
qiyaam al-layl will be recorded for him.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 806; classed as saheeh by al-
Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 646). Some of them even sit down after completing ten rak’ahs,
thus breaking up the rows of worshippers by sitting there, and sometimes they start talking and
disturb the people who are praying.
We have no doubt that their intentions are good and they are doing their best to come to the
right conclusion, but that does not mean that they are correct.
The other group does the opposite. They sternly denounce those who pray only eleven rak’ahs
and say that they have gone against scholarly consensus. Allaah says (interpretation of the
meaning):
“And whoever contradicts and opposes the Messenger (Muhammad) after the right path has
been shown clearly to him, and follows other than the believers’ way, We shall keep him in the
path he has chosen, and burn him in Hell — what an evil destination!”
[al-Nisa’ 4:115]
All the generations who came before you only knew the number as twenty-three rak’ahs, and
they denounce anyone who says anything different.
- Taraweeh is one of the matters in Islam in which different opinions are acceptable. Taraweeh is
flexible. Ex. Imam Malik would do 36 Rakat
Ibn Qudaamah said: The favoured view according to Abu ‘Abd-Allaah (i.e., Imam Ahmad, may
Allaah have mercy on him), is that it is twenty rak’ahs. This was the view of al-Thawri, Abu
Hanfeefah and al-Shaafa’i. Maalik said it is thirty-six.
[Al-Mughni, (1/457)]
- There are Masjids that perform 20 Rakat and there are Masjids in which only 8 Rakat are
performed. Neither criticizes the other.
- In Darul Harb, they make a big issue about the number of Rakat; the people who do 20 accuse the
people who do 8 Rakat of being Lazy.
- This is not the correct opinion. The correct opinion is that Taraweeh is flexible and you cannot hold
it against any Muslim if he decides to pray less or more.
Narrated Abu Salama ibn Abdur Rahman that he asked Aisha (Allah be pleased with her), "How
was the prayer of Allah's Apostle (Peace be upon him) in Ramadan?" She replied, "He did not
pray more than eleven raka'at in Ramadan or in any other month. He used to pray four raka'at -
let alone their beauty and length - and then he would pray four - let alone their beauty and length
- and then he would pray three rak'aat (witr)." She added, "I asked, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you
sleep before praying the witr?' He replied, 'O Aisha, My eyes sleep but my heart does not sleep.'"
(Bukhari, 3/230)
- Therefore if you feel like praying 100 Rakat for your Taraweeh, you are allowed to do so and then
pray 1 Rakat of Witr.
- The Saudi Salafis beat the people over their heads, saying they cannot pray more than 11 RAKAT.
- They take the Hadith of the Messenger (SAWS) of "PRAY AS YOU SEE ME PRAY" out of context.
- We cannot understand it in absolute terms.
- The meaning of PRAY AS YOU SEE ME PRAY refers to the details of the prayer and not the number
of Rakat, because the Prophet (SAWS) prayed different number of Rakat of Taraweeh.
- There are people who leave the Masjid when they finish praying 8 or 11 Rakat. They end up
missing the reward of completing the Taraweeh with the Imam.
- These people leave the Salah and then sit down and start having conversations, disturbing the
people who are still praying.
- Only ignorant people make an issue about Taraweeh and use this issue as a means to divide the
community.
- The WICKED SCHOLARS use FIQH issues to divide the community to keep their grip on power and
solidify it.
These are the views of the four imams concerning the number of rak’ahs of Taraaweeh prayer. All
of them said something more than eleven rak’ahs. Perhaps the reasons why they said something
more than eleven rak’ahs include the following:
1- They thought that the hadeeth of ‘Aa’ishah did not mean that this was the specific number.
- Therefore the 1st Merit of Ramadan is to recite the whole Quran in it.
- Did you know that Shi'ites do not pray Taraweeh?
- Also it is impossible to find a Shiite who has memorized the Quran completely.
- Whereas the Sunnis prepare themselves for Taraweeh every day in Ramadan, and therefore have
millions of HAAFIZ of QURAN
- This is because Taraweeh is an encouragement for you to become a Haafiz to lead the people in
prayer
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW), said: "The fast and the Qur'an
are two intercessors for the servant of Allah on the Day of Resurrection. The fast will say: 'O Lord,
I prevented him from his food and desires during the day. Let me intercede for him.' The Qur'an
will say: 'I prevented him from sleeping at night. Let me intercede for him.' And their intercession
will be accepted."
[Musnad Ahmad (2/174) No. 6626, Mustadrak al-Haakim (1/740) No. 2036, Shu'ab al-Eman al-
Bayhaqi (3/378) No. 1839]
- Did you know the Quran will intercede for you on the Day of Judgement?
- Did you kow the RAMDAN wil intercede for you on the Day of Judgment?
- Both the Quran and your Fasting in Ramadan will beg ALLAH to give your PARADISE
- Do not ask the question, how the Quran will speak when the Quran has no tongue.
- A STONE would give SALAAM to the PROPHET (SAWS). STONES DON’T HAVE TONGUES.
Jabir bin Samura (radi allahu 'anhu) reported Allah's Messenger (sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam) as
saying, "I know the stone in Makkah which used to pay me Salutations before my advent as a
Prophet and I know that even now."
- When you want ALLAH to speak to you, YOU READ THE QURAN
- When you want to speak to ALLAH, YOU RECITE YOUR SALAH
- Therefore you keep in touch with ALLAH during RAMADAN
An-Nadr bin Shaiban said: "I said to Abu Salamah bin 'Abdur-Rahman: 'Tell me of something that
you heard from your father, that he heard from the Messenger of Allah, with no one in between
your father and Messenge of Allah concerning the month of Ramadan. He said: 'Yes; my father
said: The Messenger of Allah said:
Allah, may He be blessed and exalted, enjoined the fast of Ramadan upon you, and I have made it
Sunnah for you to spend its nights in prayer. Whoever fasts it and spends its nights in prayer out
of faith and in the hope of reward, he will emerge from his sins as on the day his mother bore
him."'
[Sunan al-Nasa'i (4/158) No. 2210, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/355) No. 1328, Musnad Ahmad (1/191)
No. 1660] (Daeef)
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith
and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."
MERIT # 3
- RAMADAN IS A MEANS BY WHICH YOU HAVE YOUR SINS FORGIVEN
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan out
of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be
forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping
for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan out of faith
and seeking reward, his previous sins will be forgiven."
Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, ''There is not a servant
who fasts a day in the way of Allah, except that Allah removes his face from the Fire by the
distance of seventy years because of that.''
[Al-Bukhari (2840) and Muslim (1153)]
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “The five daily prayers, Friday prayer to
the following Friday prayer, and Ramadan to the following Ramadan are expiations for sins as
long as one abstains from major sins."
[Sahih Muslim (1/209) No. 233 and Musnad Ahmad (2/400) No. 9186]
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Whoever establishes prayers during
the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for
showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven."
MERIT # 4
- RAMADAN IS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO BECOME HEALTHY
On the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “Take part in
battles, and you will receive booty. Fast, and you will be healthy. Travel and you will find your
sustenance.”
- We live in a time when obesity has become rife, and when you fast in Ramadan you reduce weight
and lighten your stomach.
On the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Fast and you will
be healthy".
ﺗﺼﺤﻮا ﺻﻮﻣﻮا
- When you fast you start fighting against Obesity. Your stomach shrinks during Ramadan and
therefore you eat less and lose weight.
Mu’adh bin Rifa’ah narrated from his father, that he said: ‘Abu Bakr as-Siddiq stood on the pulpit
and wept and said, the Messenger of Allah (SAW) stood on the pulpit in the first year (of hijrah)
and wept and said: “Ask Allah for pardon and health, for none is given anything better than
health, after faith.”’
[Sunan al-Tirmidhi (5/557) No. 3558, Musnad Ahmad (1/7) No. 34]
Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, “There are two blessings that of
which many people are careless: health and leisure.”

would be better for you. He also said: Overeating does not go with good health.”

On the authority of Mujahid that Umar Ibn al-Khattab said: “O people! Beware of obesity caused
by food because it makes you lazy from Salah, it makes your body weak and unhealthy, and truly
Allah dislikes the obese man. Rather, you should observe modesty (and intent) with regards to
your provisions and food, as that is closer to piety, far from excessiveness and strengthens one in
worshipping Allah. And a slave will not fall into destruction until his desires become dearer to him
than his religion.”
[Al-Ju' Ibn Abi al-Dunya (pg. 72) No. 81 and al-Tibb al-Nabawi Abu Naeem (1/243-244) No. 127]

On the authority of al-Hassan that Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA) saw a man with a big belly and said,
“What is this?!” The man replied, “This is Barakah (a blessing) from Allah.” Umar said. “No, it is a
punishment from Allah!”
[Hadeeth Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Ansari (pg. 52) No. 42, Mu'jam al-Shuyookh al-Subki (pg.
531-532)]
- To have your health is the most important asset you can have. Even Haroun Al Rashid was willing
to give up his Caliphate and Power in return for good health.
Ibn Umar (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, “The believer eats in one intestine, while
the disbeliever eats in seven intestines.’
Miqdam ibn Ma’dikarib (RA) reported that he heard Allah’s Messenger say, “A man does not fill a
vessel worse than his belly. Enough for the son of Adam are a few morsels to keep his back
straight. But, if it is unavoidable then let him apportion one third for his food, one-third for his
drink and one-third for his breath.”
[Sunan Tirmidhi (4/590) No. 2380, Sunan Ibn Majah (4/448) No. 3349, Musnad Ahmad (4/132) No.
17225]
- A Kaafir and a Munaafiq eat with 7 intestines because they worship their belly and their private
parts and are in love with the Dunya
MERIT # 5
- RAMADAN TEACHES YOU SABR (PATIENCE)
- This is because when you feel the pangs of hunger, you do not break your fast, not even one
minute before the time to break it.
On the authority of Abu Malik al-Harith bin al-Harith al-Asharee (RA) who said: The Messenger of
Allah (SAW) said, "Purity is half of iman (faith). ‘al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah)’ fills the
scales, and ‘subhan-Allah (how far is Allah from every imperfection) and ‘al-hamdulillah (praise
be to Allah)’ fill that which is between heaven and earth. And the salah (prayer) is a light, and
charity is a proof, and patience is illumination, and the Qur’an is a proof either for you or against
you. Every person starts his day as a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or causing its ruin."
And seek help in patience and As-Salāt (the prayer) and truly it is extremely heavy and hard
except for Al-Khāshi'ûn [i.e. the true believers in Allāh - those who obey Allāh with full
submission, fear much from His Punishment, and believe in His Promise (Paradise, etc.) and in His
Warnings (Hell, etc.)].
(Al-Baqarah 2:45)
Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allāh ordered, by
following the true Faith of Islāmic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds).
(Ash-Shams 91:9)
MERIT # 6
- RAMADAN TEACHES YOU UNITY
The month of Ramadān in which was revealed the Qur'ān, a guidance for mankind and clear
proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever of you sights
(the crescent on the first night of) the month (of Ramadān i.e. is present at his home), he must
observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is ill or on a journey, the same number [of days
which one did not observe Saum (fasts)
(Al-Baqarah 2:185)
And obey Allāh and His Messenger, and do not dispute (with one another) lest you lose courage
and your strength depart, and be patient. Surely, Allāh is with those who are As-Sābirin (the
patient ones, etc.).
(Al-Anfal 8:46)
- Ramadan teaches you unity because you fast in the same month altogether with the rest of
MUSLIMS, all over the world
MERIT # 7
- RAMADAN ENHANCES THE ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD AND THE ISLAMIC SISTERHOOD
- When you are fasting in Ramadan, you allow people to your house to break the fast together
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri (RA) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say,
“Do not keep company with anyone but a believer and do not let anyone eat your food but one
who is pious.”
[Sunan Tirmidhi (4/600) No. 2395, Sunan Abu Dawood (4/259) No. 4832, Musnad Ahmad (3/38)
No. 11355]
- You are not allowed to invite Hypocrites who are not fasting to your house
- The Prophet (SAWS) said you should only allow righteous people to eat your food
- Do not have your wife slaving away in the kitchen, cooking food for people who are not even
fasting.
- If you use your hard-earned money to feed fasting people, you get the Barakah of their fast,
without them losing their fast
- Therefore by inviting Muslims to your home to eat your food and break their fast with you, you are
enhancing the ISLAMIC brotherhood and sisterhood
Zayd ibn Khalid Juhanni reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “If anyone gives to a person
who is fasting something with which to break his fast then for him is an equivalent reward
without the least being diminished from the reward of the fasting person”.
[Sunan Tirmidhi (3/171) No. 807, Musnad Ahmad (4/114) No. 17074, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/632) No.
1746]
MERIT # 8
- RAMADAN TEACHES YOU GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
- This is because when you feel the pangs of hunger you do not lock yourself up in a room and eat
secretly.
- You are aware that even though you can hide from the eyes of Men, you cannot hide from ALLAH
On the authority of Muadh bin Jabal (RA) who said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, tell me of an
act which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away from the Hellfire." He (SAW) said,
"You have asked me about a great matter, yet it is easy for him for whom Allah makes it easy:
worship Allah, without associating any partners with Him; establish the prayer; pay the zakat ;
fast in Ramadhan; and make the pilgrimage to the House." Then he (SAW) said, "Shall I not guide
you towards the means of goodness? Fasting is a shield; charity wipes away sin as water
extinguishes fire; and the praying of a man in the depths of the night." Then he (SAW) recited:
"[Those] who forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope, and they spend (charity in
Allah’s cause) out of what We have bestowed on them.
No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do." [as-
Sajdah, 16-17] Then he (SAW) said, "Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar and
its peak?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He (SAW) said, "The head of the matter is Islam, its
pillar is the prayer and its peak is jihad." Then he (SAW) said, "Shall I not tell you of the
foundation of all of that?" I said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." So he took hold of his tongue and
said, "Restrain this." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, will we be taken to account for what we say with
it?" He (SAW) said, "May your mother be bereaved of you, O Muadh! Is there anything that
throws people into the Hellfire upon their faces — or: on their noses — except the harvests of
their tongues?"
[Sunan Tirmidhi (5/11) No. 2616, Sunan Ibn Majah (5/116) No. 3973, Musnad Ahmad (5/231) No.
22069]
- If a Muslim woman should catch her husband eating in Ramadan, she should divorce him with
FASKH (annulment) because he has no Taqwa
- This person is not marriage material, because if he is willing to cheat ALLAH he will be ready to
cheat on his wife
MERIT # 9
- RAMADAN SEPARATES THE BELIEVERS FROM THE MUNAAFIQEEN
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for
those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)
- When you fast in Ramadan you are saying: O ALLAH I read YOUR commandment in the QURAN
and here I am obeying it.
- THE BELIEVER HEARS AND OBEYS
- The Hypocrites do not fast in Ramadan
MERIT # 10
- RAMADAN TEACHES YOU ADAPTIBILITY AND FLEXIBILITY
- You learn to take your meals at different times of the day without a problem
- Now you do not eat at 8am, instead you eat until you hear the Azan for Fajr and rush to break your
fast when you hear the Azan for Maghrib
- The Fajr and Maghrib AZANS are very important in Ramadan
- You are not allowed to delay opening your fast.
- As soon as you hear the Muazzin say ALLAHUAKBAR ALLAHUAKBAR, you should rush to break your
fast.
Sahl ibn Sad reported that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, "The people will remain on the right
path as long as they hasten the breaking of the fast."
MERIT # 11
- RAMADAN GIVES YOU A SENSE OF BELONGING
- You are fasting because you are part of the UMMAH of MUHAMMAD
- When Jews and Christians fast they do not receive any Barakah.
- If they want Barakah for fasting they must first take their SHAHADAH
And nothing prevents their contributions from being accepted from them except that they
disbelieved in Allāh and in His Messenger (Muhammad SAW); and that they came not to As-Salāt
(the prayer) except in a lazy state; and that they offer not contributions but unwillingly.
(At-Tawbah 9:54)
- The SHAHADAH has two parts. You must testify that there is no GOD but ALLAH, and you must
testify that MUHAMMAD (SAWS) is His Messenger
And We shall turn to whatever deeds they (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) did, and We
shall make such deeds as scattered floating particles of dust.
(Al-Furqan 25:23)
- The good deeds of mankind will only be accepted if they take their Shahadah
As for those who disbelieve, their deeds are like a mirage in a desert. The thirsty one thinks it to
be water, until he comes up to it, he finds it to be nothing, but he finds Allāh with him, Who will
pay him his due (Hell). And Allāh is Swift in taking account.
(An-Nur 24:39)
And indeed it has been revealed to you (O Muhammad SAW), as it was to those (Allāh's
Messengers) before you: "If you join others in worship with Allāh, (then) surely (all) your deeds
will be in vain, and you will certainly be among the losers."
(Az-Zumar 39:65)
- Ex. Mother Teresa will not have her deeds accepted because she worshipped three Gods.
MERIT # 12
- RAMADAN IS THE MONTH OF GLORY AND A MEANS OF GAINING VICTORY OVER THE KUFFAAR
MERIT # 13
- RAMADAN MAKES YOU CHARITABLE BECAUSE YOU FEEL THE HUNGER FELT BY THE POOR
- There are many people who have never suffered hunger once in their lives and cannot understand
what poor people are going through
- Even if you are a millionaire you are deprived in Ramadan of food and drink and get a chance to
experience the pangs of hunger and become charitable
Anas narrated that: the Prophet was asked which fast was most virtuous after Ramadan? He said:
"Sha'ban in honor of Ramadan" He said: "Which charity is best?" He (SAW) said: "Charity in
Ramadan."
MERIT # 14
- RAMADAN MAKES YOU SAVE YOUR MONEY BECAUSE YOU DRINK LESS AND EAT LESS
MERIT # 15
- RAMADAN TEACHES YOU SELF RESTRAINT
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “There may be a fasting person
who gets nothing more from his fast than hunger and thirst, and there may be a person who
prays qiyaam and all he gets from his qiyaam is a sleepless night.”
[Musnad Ahmad (2/373) No. 8843, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/591) No. 1690, Sunan al-Darime (2/390)
No. 2720, Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (3/242) No. 1997]
- You have to abandon wicked speech and actions and are not allowed to backbite and slander.
- You are not allowed to look at woman lustfully.
Ubaid, the freed slave of the Prophet (SAW), reported “Two women were once fasting during the
lifetime of Allah’s Messenger and they almost died of thirst. This was mentioned to the Prophet
(SAW) but he turned away from (allowing) them (to break the fast). Then they were mentioned to
him again, so he called for them and ordered them to vomit, i.e. throw up, what was in their
stomachs. So they both vomited and filled up a bowl with puss, blood and pieces of flesh. Then
the Prophet (SAW) said: ‘These two fasted by refraining from what Allah made lawful for them.
but they broke their fast by doing what Allah made unlawful for them. One of them sat with the
other and they began to eat from the flesh of people.’”
- You must avoid all kinds of harmful interactions, eating, drinking, viewing, speaking, hearing, doing
etc.
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever does not give up forged speech
and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his
fasting.)
- When you fast your eyes are fasting, your hands are fasting, your feet are fasting, your tongue is
fasting and your private parts are fasting
- You can only sleep with your wife in Ramadan after Maghrib
O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for
those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious - see V.2:2).
(Al-Baqarah 2:183)
- If you cannot control your evil and corrupted desires you are beneath the level of the cattle
Or do you think that most of them hear or understand? They are only like cattle; nay, they are
even farther astray from the Path. (i.e. even worst than cattle).
(Al-Furqan 25:44)
- The whole purpose of Ramadan is to teach you self-restraint so you can control your evil and
corrupted desires
- Today the AIDS virus has become pandemic because KAAFIRs are unable to control their evil and
corrupted desires.
- The hotspots for Aids all over the world are Kaafir countries.
1. Swaziland
2. Botswana
3. Lesotho
4. South Africa
5. Namibia
6. Zimbabwe
7. Zambia
8. Mozambique
9. Malawi
10. Kenya
- Most of the men in these countries are uncircumcised and it’s very easy for them to catch Aids.
The uncircumcised man is like a DOG.
- A Muslim woman is not allowed to marry a man who is not circumcised.
- This is Hanbali Fiqh.
MERIT # 16
- RAMADAN CONTAINS THE NIGHT OF POWER
Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'ān) down in the night of Al-Qadr (Decree)
(Al-Qadr 97:1)
And what will make you know what the night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is?
(Al-Qadr 97:2)
Abu Huraira (RA) narrated the Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan out
of sincere Faith (i.e. belief) and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his past sins will be
forgiven, and whoever stood for the prayers in the night of Qadr out of sincere Faith and hoping
for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."
Abu Huraira narrated the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: "Whoever establishes prayers during
the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for
showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven."
The night of Al-Qadr (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allāh in that
night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months, i.e. 83 years and 4 months). (Al-Qadr
97:3)
- Therefore even though our life span is short compared to the previous generations, we will be able
to compete with them with regards to pious deeds, all because of Lailat al Qadr
- Lailat AL QADR, is a GIFT from ALLAH, exclusively to the UMMAH of MUHAMMAD (SAWS)
MERIT # 17
- UMRAH IN RAMADAN IS EQUAL TO HAJJ WITH THE PROPHET (SAWS)
“When the month of Ramadan arrives, go for ‘umrah, because 'umrah in Ramadan is like
accompanying me on Hajj.”
[Sahîh al-Bukhârî (1764)]
MERIT # 18
- FASTING IS A SHEILD AGAISNT THE TEMPTATION OF IBLIS
Abu Huraira (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah the Exalted and Majestic
said: 'Every act of the son of Adam is for him, except As-Siyam (the fasting) which is (exclusively)
for Me, and I will reward him for it.' Fasting is a shield. When anyone of you is observing fast, he
should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles
him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hand the soul of
Muhammad is, the breath of one observing Saum is sweeter to Allah than the fragrance of musk.
The one who fasts, experiences two joys: he feels pleasure when he breaks the fast. He is joyful
by virtue of his fast when he meets his Rubb."
Abu Huraira (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Fasting is a shield (or a screen or a
shelter). So, the person observing fasting should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should
not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should
tell him twice, 'I am fasting." The Prophet added, "By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell
coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of
musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), 'He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake.
The fast is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is
multiplied ten times.'"
MERIT # 19
- RAMADAN COMES AND PUTS ALL THE SHAYATEEN IN CHAINS
Narrated from Abu Hurayra (RA) that the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) said: “When Ramadan
comes, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained
up.”
MERIT # 20
- THERE IS A GATE IN PARADISE FOR THE FASTING PEOPLE CALLED RAYAAN
Sahl ibn Sa'd reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, "There is a gate in the Garden called ar-
Rayyan which those who fast will enter on the Day of Rising, and none but they will enter it." It
will be said, 'Where are the fasters?' They will stand up and none but they will enter it.
When they have entered it, it will be closed and no one else will enter it."
1) Baabus Salaah: Those who were punctual in observing their Salaah will be granted entry
through this door.
2) Baabul Jihad: Those who participated in Jihad will be granted entry through this door.
3) Baabus Sadaqah: Those who frequently gave Sadaqah will be admitted into Jannah through
this door.
4) Baabur Rayyaan: The people who constantly observed the fast will be granted entry through
this door.
5) Baabul Hajj: Those who observe the pilgrimage will be admitted through this door.
6) Baabul Kaazimeenal Ghaiz Wal ‘Aafina ‘Anin Naas: This door is reserved for those who
suppress their anger and pardon others.
7) Baabul Aiman: This door is reserved for the entry of such people who are saved from
reckoning and chastisement.
8) Baabuz Zikr: Those who excessively remembered Allah will be admitted through this door.
MERIT # 21
- RAMADAN IS OUR GUEST THAT COMES TO VISIT US ONCE A YEAR, EVERY YEAR, AND WE
SHOULD BE PREPARED TO RECEIVE IT
It was narrated that Abu Hurayra (RA) said: The Prophet (SAW) ascended the minbar and said:
“Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, you ascended the minbar and said,
‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadan
comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive
and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not
send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allah will cast him far away. Say
Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.”
[Sahih Ibn Hibban, (3/188) No. 907 and Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah (3/192) No. 1888]
- When this guest leaves we are all sad because our guest makes us become pious

WHAT IS A SIN?
x A sin is an act of disobedience to Allahﷻ.
x According to the Shariah, there are 5 impediments:
1. A child.
2. A madman.
3. Forgetfulness.
4. A mistake or ‘slip’ of the tongue.
5. Out of necessity or duress.
HADITH
Ali (RA) reported that Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: "The pen has been raised for three persons (meaning
they are not held accountable for what they do): one who is sleeping until he gets up, a child until he
reaches the age of puberty, and an insane person until he becomes sane." [Musnad Ahmad (1/154) No.

ANOTHER HADITH
Ibn 'Abbas (RA) the Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: "Verily Allah ﷻhas pardoned [or been lenient with] for
me my Ummah: their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and that which they have been forced to do under
duress." [Sunan Ibn Majah (3/200) No. 2045, al-Mu’jam al-Kabir al-Tabarani (11/133) No. 11274, al-
Sunan al-Kubra al-Bayhaqi (7/584) No. 15094, Sunan al-Daraqutni (5/300) No. 4351]
6 SACRED POSSESSIONS:
1. Your Wealth
2. Your life
3. Your Children
4. Your Lineage
5. Your Aql (Mind)
6. Your Deen (Religion)
x Any action done to protect these Sacred Possessions is considered duress.
x For example, if you are forced to say "Muhammad ﷺwas a false Prophet " to save your life, you
didn't commit any wrong.
x A Sahaba by name of Ammar Ibn Yassir (RA) did the same thing during the time of the
Prophetﷺ.
x Quraysh had killed both his parents and were about to kill him also.
x He left the fold of Islam with his tongue only to deceive them and save his life.
x Allah ﷻapproved and agreed with his action.

Whoever disbelieved in Allah after his belief, except him who is forced thereto and whose heart is at
rest with Faith but such as open their breasts to disbelief, on them is wrath from Allah, and theirs will
be a great torment.
(An-Nahl 16:106)
The Khawarij (Puritans) went astray because they are jahil (ignorant) in regards to tawheed
(monotheism). They paint every kufr with the same brush and don't distinguish between minor and
major.
These actions are minor Kufr and doesn't take the person out of the fold of Islam. The only sin that
can eject a person outside the fold of Islam is if the sin is classified as major kufr or major shirk.
Sometimes a person may commit a major shirk, but we withhold making takfir on the person
because he is jahil on the basis of giving the excuse of ignorance.
An example of this ignorance, is when politicians come to people asking for their votes. In exchange
that he, when elected, will bring electricity, internet, fix the roads, etc. So the person who voted didn't
think about Tawheed Hakimeeyah, but rather only about the benefits he will supposedly receive. This
person should be excused and takfir shouldn't be made so quickly because he doesn't understand the
reality of democracy. Most Muslims are ignorant of this fact because the Muftis and Maulanas do not
preach this fundamental to the masses.
HADITH
Ibn Mas'ud (RA) reported that the Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: "Insulting a Muslim is going off the path
(fusuq) and killing him is disbelief (kufr)." [al-Bukhari (48) and Muslim (64)]
HADITH
Narrated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab(RA): During the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺthere was a man called
'Abdullah(RA) whose nickname was Donkey, and he used to make Allah's Apostle ﷺlaugh. The
Prophet ﷺlashed him because of drinking (alcohol). And one-day he was brought to the Prophet ﷺon
the same charge and was lashed. On that, a man among the people said, "O Allahﷻ, curse him ! How
frequently he has been brought (to the Prophet ﷺon such a charge)!" The Prophet ﷺsaid, "Do not
curse him, for by Allahﷻ, I know for he loves Allah ﷻand His Apostleﷺ." [Sahih Bukhari, Vol 8, Book 81,
Hadith #771]
x Imam Shafi’i (RA) was walking and he saw the legs of a woman when the breeze blew her
dress. Then he began to forget the memorization of the Quran, even though he had a
photographic memory. Imam Shafi’i (RA) had a sheikh named Wak’ee and complained to him
about his situation. He advised him to give up sins.
x Imam Shafi’i (RA) was a doctor, poet and sheikh and explained his situation in 2 lines of
poetry:
وﻧﻮر ﷲ ﻻ ﯾﮭـﺪى ﻟﻌـﺎص..... ﻓﺄرﺷﺪﻧﻲ إﻟﻰ ﺗﺮك اﻟﻤﻌﺎﺻﯿﻮأﺧـﺒﺮﻧﻲ ﺑﺄن اﻟﻌـﻠﻢ ﻧــﻮر..... ﻧﻮر ﷲ ﻻ ﯾﮭﺪى ﻟﻌﺎﺻﺸﻜﻮت إﻟﻰ وﻛﯿﻊ ﺳﻮء ﺣﻔﻈﻲ
The light of Allah ﷻis not given to the disobedient: “I complained to Wakee’ of my poor memory.
Leaving sins is what he guided me to address. He informed me that knowledge is a light. And Allah’sﷻ
light is not gifted to those who transgress.” [Diwan ash-Shafi'i]

x Allah ﷻtested three Israeli's, a leper, a bald man and a blind man.
HADITH
Narrated By Abu Huraira(RA): that he heard Allah's Apostle ﷺsaying: "Allah ﷻwilled to test three
Israelis who were a Leper, a blind man and a bald-headed man. So, he sent them an angel who came to
the leper and said, 'What thing do you like most?' He replied, "Good color and good skin, for the
people have a strong aversion to me.' The angel touched him and his illness was cured, and he was
given a good color and beautiful skin. The angel asked him, 'What kind of property do you like best?'
He replied, 'Camels (or cows).' (The narrator is in doubt, for either the leper or the bald-headed man
demanded camels and the other demanded cows.) So he (i.e. the leper) was given a pregnant she-
camel, and the angel said (to him), 'May Allah ﷻbless you in it.' The angel then went to the bald-headed
man and said, 'What things do you like most?' He said, 'I like good hair and wish to be cured of this
disease, for the people feel repulsion for me.' The angel touched him and his illness was cured, and he
was given good hair. The angel asked (him), 'What kind of property do you like bests' He replied,
'Cows,' The angel gave him a pregnant cow and said, 'May Allah ﷻbless you in it.' The angel went to the
blind man and asked, 'What thing do you like best?' He said, '(I like) that Allah ﷻmay restore my
eyesight to me so that I may see the people.' The angel touched his eyes and Allah ﷻgave him back his
eyesight. The angel asked him, "What kind of property do you like best?' He replied, 'Sheep.' The angel
gave him a pregnant sheep. Afterwards, all the three pregnant animals gave birth to young ones, and
multiplied and brought forth so much that one of the (three) men had a herd of camels filling a valley,
and one had a herd of cows filling a valley, and one had a flock of sheep filling a valley. Then the angel,
disguised in the shape and appearance of a leper, went to the leper and said, I am a poor man, who has
lost all means of livelihood while on a journey. So none will satisfy my need except Allah ﷻand then
you. In the Name of Him ﷻWho has given you such nice color and beautiful skin, and so much property,
I ask you to give me a camel so that I may reach my destination. The man replied, 'I have many
obligations (so I cannot give you).' The angel said, 'I think I know you; were you not a leper to whom
the people had a strong aversion? Weren't you a poor man, and then Allah ﷻgave you (all this
property).' He replied, '(This is all wrong), I got this property through inheritance from my
forefathers' The angel said, 'If you are telling a lie, then let Allah ﷻmake you as you were before.' Then
the angel, disguised in the shape and appearance of a bald man, went to the bald man and said to him
the same as he told the first one, and he too answered the same as the first one did. The angel said, 'If
you are telling a lie, then let Allah ﷻmake you as you were before.' The angel, disguised in the shape of
a blind man, went to the blind man and said, 'I am a poor man and a traveler, whose means of
livelihood have been exhausted while on a journey. I have nobody to help me except Allahﷻ, and after
Himﷻ, you yourself. I ask you in the Name of Him ﷻWho has given you back your eyesight to give me a
sheep, so that with its help, I may complete my journey' The man said, 'No doubt, I was blind and
Allah ﷻgave me back my eyesight; I was poor and Allah ﷻmade me rich; so take anything you wish
from my property. By Allahﷻ, I will not stop you for taking anything (you need) of my property which
you may take for Allah's ﷻsake.' The angel replied, 'Keep your property with you. You (i.e 3 men) have
been tested and Allah ﷻis pleased with you and is angry with your two companions." [Sahih Bukhari,
Vol.4, Book 56, Hadith #670]

And establish the witness for Allah. That will be an admonition given to him who believes in Allah and

(At-Talaq 65:3)
x Furqan is the criterion to judge between the bad and good, right and wrong, pure and
impure.
x When you are sinful, you no longer see truth as truthful and false as falsehood.
x The Prophet ﷺused to make dua for protection against this regularly.
DUA
اﻟﻠﮭﻢ ارﻧﺎ اﻟﺤﻖ ﺣﻘﺎ ً وارزﻗﻨﺎ اﺗﺒﺎﻋﮫ وارﻧﺎ اﻟﺒﺎطﻞ ﺑﺎطﻼ وارزﻗﻨﺎ اﺟﺘﻨﺎﺑﮫ
Allahumma arinal haqqa haqqaw warzuqnat tiba’ah, wa arinal baatila baatilaw warzuqnaj tinaabah
O Allah !ﷻshow us the truth as true, and inspire us to follow it. Show us falsehood as falsehood, and
inspire us to abstain from it.
x The reason why the Prophet ﷺused to make this dua because everyone is not blessed with
furqan.
x For example, many people do not see homosexuality as abnormal.
x If you were to ask people in Western countries about homosexuality, perhaps 60% of the
people think it's OK.
x That is why sins make you lose your furqan.
x You need taqwa to have furqan.
Allah ﷻsaid in Surah Al-Anfal 8:29
َ ﯾَﺎ أَﯾﱡﮭَﺎ اﻟﱠ ِذﯾنَ آ َﻣﻧُوا إِن ﺗَﺗﱠﻘُوا ﷲَ ﯾَﺟْ َﻌل ﱠﻟ ُﻛ ْم ﻓُ ْر َﻗﺎﻧًﺎ َوﯾُ َﻛﻔّ ِْر ﻋَﻧ ُﻛ ْم

O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion [(to judge between
right and wrong), or (Makhraj, i.e. making a way for you to get out from every difficulty)], and will
expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty. (Al-Anfal 8:29)

Ibn Mas'ud (RA) said: "Whatever the Muslims see as good is good with Allahﷻ, Whatever the Muslims
see as bad, Allah ﷻsees as bad." [Mustadrak al-Haakim (3/83) No. 4465, classed as Sahih by Adh-
Dhahabee]
x This Hadith is proof that we (Muslims) are witnesses for Allah ﷻon earth because we have the
furqan, not the Kuffar.
x For example, George Best was a famous football player from Belfast, Ireland.
x He was addicted to alcohol and developed a bad liver.
x He received a new liver but still went back to drinking alcohol.
x The Quran is the greatest book on psychology but a person will not appreciate it until they are
taught it.
x This proves that sins are addictive.
x For example, homosexuals believe they are Muslim and have established a gay temple in
South Africa.
x Their leader is named Mohsin Hendricks.
x They call their place of worship a masjid but that's an oxymoron. They think their lifestyle and
sin is normal.
x The sin has been desensitized.

10. SINS MAKE YOU BECOME NEGLIGENT OF ALLAHﷻ, THE PROPHET & ﷺDEEN
HADITH
Abu Al-Ja'd (meaning Ad-Damri(RA)) narrated, and he was a Companion according to the claim of
Muhammad bin Amr(RA): the Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: 'Whoever neglects the Friday prayer three
times (in a row) without an excuse, then Allah ﷻsets a seal upon his heart.'" [Sunan Tirmidhi (2/373)
No. 500, Musnad Ahmad (3/424) No. 15537, Sunan Abu Dawud (1/277) No. 1052, Sunan al-Nasa'i
(3/88) No. 1369, Sunan Ibn Majah (2/213) No. 1125, Sunan al-Darime (1/444) No. 1571, Muwatta
Malik (1/180) No. 468]
FATWA
2 – Being deprived of provision. In Musnad Ahmad it is narrated that Thawbaan said: “The Allah’s
Messenger ﷺsaid: ‘A man is deprived of provision because of the sins that he commits.’”
(Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 4022).
3 – Sense of alienation that comes between a person and his Lord, and between him and other people.
One of the salaf (righteous predecessors) said: “If I disobey Allahﷻ, I see that in the attitude of my
riding beast and my wife.”
4 – Things become difficult for him, so that he does not turn his attention towards any matter but he
finds the way blocked or he finds it difficult. By the same token, for the one who fears Allahﷻ, things
are made easy for him.
5 – The sinner will find darkness in his heart, which he will feel just as he feels the darkness of night.
So this darkness affects his heart as the physical darkness affects his vision. For obedience is light and
disobedience is darkness. The stronger the darkness grows, the greater becomes his confusion, until
he falls into innovation, misguidance and other things that lead to doom, without even realizing, like a
blind man who goes out in the darkness of the night, walking alone. This darkness grows stronger
until it covers the eyes, then it grows stronger until it covers the face, which appears dark and is seen
by everyone. ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Abbas(RA) said: “Good deeds make the face light, give light to the heart,
and bring about ample provision, physical strength and love in people’s hearts. Bad deeds make the
face dark, give darkness to the heart, and bring about physical weakness, a lack of provision and
hatred in people’s hearts.”
6 – Deprivation of worship and obedience. If sin brought no punishment other than that it prevents a
person from doing an act of worship which is the opposite of sin, and cuts off access to other acts of
worship, that would be bad enough. So the sin cuts off a third way and a fourth way and so on, and
because of the sin he is cut off from many acts of worship, each of which would have been better for
him than this world and everything in it. So he is like a man who eats food that is bound to cause a
lengthy sickness, and thus he is deprived of many other foods that are better than that. And Allah ﷻis
the One Whose help we seek.
7 – Sin breeds sin until it dominates a person and he cannot escape from it.
8 – Sin weakens a person’s willpower. It gradually strengthens his will to commit sin and weakens his
will to repent until there is no will in his heart to repent at all… so he seeks forgiveness and expresses
repentance, but it is merely words on the lips, like the repentance of the liars, whose hearts are still
determined to commit sin and persist in it. This is one of the most serious diseases that are most
likely to lead to doom.
9 – He will become desensitized and will no longer find sin abhorrent, so it will become his habit, and
he will not be bothered if people see him committing the sin or talk about him. For the leaders of
immorality, this is the ultimate shamelessness in which they find great pleasure, such that they feel
proud of their sin and will speak of it to people who do not know that they have done it, saying, “O so
and so, I did such and such.” Such people cannot be helped and the path to repentance is blocked for
them in most cases. The Prophet ﷺsaid: “All of my ummah (followers) will be fine except for those who
commit sin openly, and that includes cases where Allah ﷻconceals a person’s sin, but the following
morning he exposes himself and says, ‘O So and so, I did such and such last night, so he shamelessly
exposes himself when all night his Lord had concealed his sin.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5949;
Muslim, 2744).
10 – When there are many sins they leave a mark on the heart of the person who commits them, so he
becomes one of the negligent. As one of the salaf said, concerning the aayah (verse)–“Nay! But on their
hearts is the Raan (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn” [al-Mutaffifeen 83:14 –
interpretation of the meaning] – this means sin after sin. How this starts is that the heart gets stained
by sin, and if the sin increases then the stain grows bigger until it becomes the raan (covering of sin
and evil deeds), then it increases until it becomes a seal, and the heart becomes covered and sealed. If
that happens after a person had been guided and had understood, then his heart is turned upside
down, and at that point the Shaytaan gains control over him and directs him as he wants. [Ibnul
Qayyim, al-Jawaab al-Kaafi (pg. 52-60)]
FATWA
Stay chaste and your women will be chaste, and save yourself from that which is unfit for a Muslim.
Verily, adultery is a debt, if you have taken this debt, know that its payment will be taken from the
people of your household. One who commits adultery, in return adultery will be committed with him,
even though it will be committed against the wall of your house. O man! If you are wise then you
should know it (Diwan Ash-Shafi'i)
x Some Muslims say they don't believe that ‘what goes around comes around’ but this is a lie
because sins is a debt that you owe.
x When you are sinful, Allah ﷻwill never help you in battles.
HADITH
When Umar bin al-Khattab (RA) dispatched the army of Saad bin Abi Waqqas (RA) to the Battle of al-
Qadisiyyah, he advised him: “Fear your sins more than you fear the enemy as your sins are more
dangerous to you than your enemy. We Muslims are only victorious over our enemy because their sins
outnumber ours, not for any other reason. If our sins were equal to those of our enemy, then they
would defeat us due to their superior numbers and resources.”
x Yassir Arafat fought to liberate the Palestinians but lost because he wasn't a real Muslim.
x Jamal Abdel-Nasser fought in the name of Arab socialism and Allah ﷻdidn't give him victory
against the Israelis in 1967. Allah ﷻmade it incumbent on Him to help the believers.
x This is one of the many promises of Allahﷻ.
x The kuffar keep secret files on politicians and important people so that they can threaten
their careers with a scandal.
x They know that sins destroy your honor.

x For example, a daughter knows her father is cheating on her mom. It will be hard for him to

authority.

HADITH
It was narrated that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar(RA) said: "The Allah’s Messenger ﷺturned to us and said: 'O
Muhajirin, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah ﷻlest you
live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it
openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among
them. They do not cheat in weights and measures but they will be stricken with famine, severe
calamity and the oppression of their rulers. They do not withhold the Zakah of the wealth, but rain
will be withheld from the sky, and were it not for the animals, no rain would fall on them. They do not
break the covenant with Allah ﷻand His Messengerﷺ, but Allah ﷻwill enable their enemies to
overpower them and take some of what is in their hands. Unless their leaders rule according to the
Book of Allah ﷻand seek all good from that which Allah ﷻhas revealed, Allah ﷻwill cause them to fight
one another.

17. SINS TURN YOU INTO A DAYOOTH
HADITH
Narrated By Abu Huraira(RA): The Prophet ﷺsaid: “Indeed, Allah ﷻhas Ghayrah, and the faithful
believer has Ghayrah, and the Ghayrah which Allah ﷻhas is provoked when a believer commits that
which Allah ﷻhas forbidden.” [al-Bukhari (4925) and Muslim (2761)]
ANOTHER HADITH
Abdullah ibn Umar (RA) reported that the Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: "Three people will not enter
paradise and Allah ﷻwill not look to them on the Day of Judgment: the one who is disobedient to his
parents, the woman who imitates men and the ad-Dayooth (cuckold, weak man who feels no jealousy
over his womenfolk)..." [Musnad Ahmad (2/134) No. 6180, Musnad al-Bazzar (12/270) No. 6051, al-
Sunnan al-Kubra al-Nasa'i (2/63) No. 2354, al-Mu’jam al-Awsat al-Tabarani (3/51) No. 2443]
x A Dayooth is one of three people that Allah ﷻwill not look at on the Day of Judgement.
x For example, the people of Noah (AS) were destroyed by the flood because they were the
first to commit shirk.
x The people of Salah (AS) killed the she-camel and were struck down by Allahﷻ.
x The people of Shuaib (AS) were destroyed because they used to cheat with the scales. were
also sinful
x The people of Lut (AS) were destroyed because they dabbled in homosexuality, loud farting,
highway robbery and cock fighting.
x When you leave a sinful city, you cannot look back.
x Natural disasters even occur in our times.
x For example, look a New Orleans. It's called the ‘Big Easy’. Also, it's the capital for black magic
in the USA. Allah ﷻdestroyed the city with hurricane Katrina in 2005.
x Even after Allah ﷻdestroyed the city, they still held the gay march called ‘The Mardi Gras’.
HADITH
Narrated Ibn Namir (RA) from Abdullah (RA) from Naafi‘(RA) from Safiyyah (RA) who said: The earth
shook at the time of ‘Umar (RA), and he addressed the people and said: “If it happens again, I shall
definitely abandon you and leave.” [Ibn Abi Shaybah in al-Musannaf (Vol.2, pg.221) No. 8335 and ibn
al-Jawzi in Al-Muntazam fi Tarikh al-Muluk wal-Umam (Vol.4, pg.295)]
QUESTION

The answer is NO.
HADITH
Anas (RA) says: “I went into the presence of Aishah (RA) whilst someone else was seated with her. The
person asked, ‘O Mother of the believers, relate to us regarding earthquakes (as to their cause)’ She
turned her face away. I (Anas) asked her, ‘Relate to us regarding earthquakes, O Mother of the
believers!’ She said, “O Anas, if I were to inform you thereof, you will live a sorrowful life and you will
die in this state of grief and you will be raised on the Day of Judgement whilst this fear is in your
heart.” I said, “O Mother, relate to me.” She then said, “When a woman removes her clothes in a house
other than her husbands (an indication towards adultery), she tears the veil between her and Allahﷻ.
When she applies perfume to please a male other than her husband, this will be a source of fire and a
blemish for her. When the people then begin to commit adultery, consume alcohol and use musical
instruments, Allah ﷻbecomes enraged above the heavens and orders the Earth to shake them. If they
repent and refrain, then it is good for them, otherwise Allah ﷻwill cause it to fall upon them.” I asked,
“Is this their punishment?” She said, “It is rather a mercy, means of blessings and admonishment for
the believers, and a punishment, display of anger and torment for the unbelievers.” [Mustadrak al-
Haakim (4/561) No. 8575 and Kitab Al-Fitan (2/619) No. 1729]

HADITH

summon one another to attack you as people gather around a table when invited to partake of its
meal” Someone asked, ‘will that be because of our small numbers at that time?’ He (the Prophet)ﷺ
replied: “No, you will be numerous at that time but you will be scum and rubbish like that carried
down by a torrent, and Allahﷻwill take fear from the breast of your enemies and cast “wahn” into your
hearts”. Someone asked ‘What is “wahn” O Allah’s Messenger ’?ﷺHe replied “Love for the world and
dislike of death.” [Sunan Abu Dawud (4/111) No. 4297, Musnad Ahmad (2/359) No. 8698]
ANOTHER HADITH

a punishment from Allah[ ”!ﷻHadeeth Muhammad bin Abdullah al-Ansari (pg. 52) No. 42, Mu'jam al-
Shuyookh al-Subki (pg. 531-532)]

HADITH

HADITH
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (RA) who said: The Allah’s Messenger ﷺsaid: "Allah ﷻis Good and
accepts only that which is good. And verily Allah ﷻhas commanded the believers to do that which He
has commanded the Messengers. So the Almighty ﷻhas said: "O (you) Messengers! Eat of the tayyibat
[all kinds of halal (legal) foods], and perform righteous deeds." [23:51] and the Almighty ﷻhas said: "O
you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We have provided you." [2:172]" Then he ﷺmentioned
[the case] of a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty, and who spreads out his
hands to the sky saying "O Lord! O Lord!," while his food is haram (unlawful), his drink is haram, his
clothing is haram, and he has been nourished with haram, so how can [his supplication] be answered?

You (O Muhammad SAW) will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day, making
friendship with those who oppose Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad SAW ), even though they
were their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their kindred (people).
For such He has written Faith in their hearts, and strengthened them with Ruh (proofs, light and true
guidance) from Himself. And We will admit them to Gardens (Paradise) under which rivers flow, to
dwell therein (forever). Allah is pleased with them, and they with Him. They are the Party of Allah.
Verily, it is the Party of Allah that will be the successful. (Al-Mujadilah 58:22)
24. SINS CAUSE YOU TO AGE RAPIDLY

x If you backbite, slander, borrow money and didn't pay back, fight, punch, or kill, you have to
pay back all these people.
x This person will have to pay back people with his pious deeds.
x This is the only currency accepted on that Day by Allahﷻ.
x Dollar Bills or British Pounds are not accepted, so guard your pious deeds by not committing
sins.
HADITH
On the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA), who said: The Allah’s Messenger ﷺnarrated to us: By
Allahﷻ, other than whom there is no god, verily one of you behaves like the people of Paradise until
there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which is written overtakes him and so he
behaves like the people of the Hell-fire and thus he enters it; and one of you behaves like the people of
Hell-fire until there is but an arm's length between him and it, and that which has been written
overtakes him and so he behaves like the people of Paradise and thus he enters it. [al-Bukhari (6594)
and Muslim (2643)]
ANOTHER HADITH
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: Allah’s Messenger said: "Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said:
"The bankrupt among us is one who has neither money with him nor any property." He said, "The real
bankrupt of my Ummah would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with Salat, Saum
and Sadaqah (charity), (but he will find himself bankrupt on that day as he will have exhausted the
good deeds) because he reviled others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully devoured the
wealth of others, shed the blood of others and beat others; so his good deedswould be credited to the
account of those (who suffered at his hand). If his good deeds fall short to clear the account, their sins
would be entered in his account and he would be thrown in the (Hell) Fire." [Sahih Muslim (4/1997)
No. 2581]
