Cultivating Children Upon Islamic – Not Western – Cultivation

The Noble Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him) stated:

It is known that obligations are not (mandated) upon the child who hasn’t reached puberty–not the prayer or other than it until he (or she) reaches puberty. The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stated:

The pen is lifted from three (people).  The one sleeping until he awakes. The child until he has a wet dream (i.e reaches puberty). And from the insane person until he comes to his senses.

However the child is commanded with making it. Therefore his guardian commands him with the prayer when he reaches the age of seven and he has with him (the ability to) distinguish (between matters) and he knows what is said to him and that which he is commanded with. Therefore he is to be commanded with the prayer, not because it is obligatory upon him, he is only commanded with it as an exercise for him. Meaning as a means of getting him accustomed to the prayer until he becomes trained upon making it and he knows its importance. And as a result he grows up upon that so when he reaches puberty he is accustomed to the prayer. Continue reading →

أهمية تربية الأولاد بتربية الإسلام وعدم تربية الأولاد بتربية الغرب

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

:قال العلامة الشيخ صالح الفوزان حفظه الله

:من المعلوم أن الصبي الذي لم يبلغ ليس عليه واجبات، لا صلاة ولا غيرها حتى يبلغ، قال صلى الله عليه و سلم ))

.رفع القلم عن ثلاثة عن النائم حتى يستيقظ وعن الصبي حتى يحتلم وعن المجنون حتى يعقل

ولكن الصبي يؤمر بها، فيأمره وليّه بالصلاة إذا بلغ سبع سنين يكون عنده تمييز ومعرفة فيما يقال له وما يؤمر به، فيؤمر بالصلاة لا على أنها واجبة عليه، وإنما يؤمر بها تمريناً له أي: تعويداً له بالصلاة حتى يتمرّن عليها ويعرف أهميتها، فينشأ على ذلك، فإذا بلغ فإذا هو قد تمرن على الصلاة و تعلم طهارتها وتعلم كيف يؤدّيها فهذا فيه تربية له على الصلاة وهذا يدل على أهمية الصلاة وأنها أول ما يؤمر به الأطفال، فهي في حقّه نافلة، وأما أمره بها من قبل الولي فهذا أمر واجب على الولي فيجب على وليّه أن يأمره بها لأن النبيّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أمر الوليّ بذلك فقال

.مروا أولادكم بالصلاة وهم أبناء سبع سنين واضربوهم عليها وهم أبناء عشر وفرّقوا بينهم في المضاجع

Defining Ḥizbiyyah

Shaykhul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy upon him) mentioned regarding Ḥizbiyyah:

As for the leader of the Ḥizb, he is the head of the group which has become a Ḥizb. If they are united upon that which Allāh has commanded with, as well as His Messenger without any addition or subtraction, then they are believers. For them is that which is for them and upon them is that which is upon them. And if they have indeed added to that or subtracted (from it) – like having Taʿaṣṣub (fanaticism) for whoever enters into their Ḥizb (group/party) based upon the truth and falsehood and turning away from the one who has not entered into their Ḥizb whether he is upon the truth or falsehood – then this is from the separation (into groups and parties) which Allāh and His Messenger have condemned.

The Ruling on Suicide Bombings in Non-Muslim Lands

Question Posed to The Noble Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhalī (may Allāh have mercy upon him):

Q. May Allāh reward you with goodness. There are some people who say: “Indeed the bombings in the lands of the non-Muslims is correct in light of their slaughtering the Muslims in Palestine and other regions.” So what is the origin of this matter? Continue reading →

The Path is Two Paths

The Noble Shaykh ‘Ubayd al-Jābirī (may Allāh preserve him) stated:

The path is two paths:

1. The First: The Straight Path. This is what Allāh sent down in His Book and what the authentic Sunnah came along with (based upon the actions, speech, and approvals of) the Prophet sallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam. This is the clarification of the upright religion which is truly from Allāh. [Note: There is only ONE straight path; there are no subcategories].  Continue reading →

The Leaders of Misguidance

On the authority of ‘Abdullāh Ibn Abbās (may Allāh be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allāh (ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam) stated:

The curse of Allāh is upon the one who misleads a blind from the (right) path. (Imām al-Bukhāri’s al-Adab al-Mufrad, #892)

Shaykh ‘Abdur Razzāq ibn ‘Abdil-Muḥsin al-Badr (may Allāh preserve the both of them) stated: Continue reading →

Shaykh Bāzmūl Warns the Parents of Children Sickened By the Khawārij

The Noble Shaykh Aḥmad Bāzmūl (may Allāh preserve him) stated:  

I direct a warning to the guardians from the fathers, mothers, and other than them, that they pay attention and watch over their children in order that they don’t fall into speaking ill about the scholars and the Muslim rulers, due to which they may fall into the affairs of innovation and evil desires. That which is important, oh guardian, is that you know who are the companions of your child. Are they from the righteous gatherings or are they from the evil gathering? Continue reading →

Does Salafiyyah Entail Refuting Mistakes? – Shaykh Ahmad ibn Yahyaa an-Najmi

The Noble Shaykh Ahmad ibn Yahyaa an-Najmi (may Allah have mercy upon him) was asked:

Some of those who claim that they are Salafis say, “We are Salafis, however, we don’t speak about the one who has made a mistake nor do we disparage anyone.  (Is this correct?)”

Answer:

Say to them: Salafiyyah would not be sound without no one being disparaged.  There is Continue reading →
