For the One Who Didn’t Have the Ability to Make Hajj This Year

Al-Haafith Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

Whoever doesn’t have the ability to stand in ‘Arafah, then let him stand at the prescribed limits of Allah which he knows. Whoever doesn’t have the ability to spend the night in Muzdalifah, then let him spend the night upon the obedience of Allah in order that he gets closer to Him and to be near to Him. Whoever doesn’t have the ability to slaughter his sacrificial animal in Minaa, then let him slaughter his desires in order that he reaches that which is desired. Whoever doesn’t have the ability to reach the sacred house because he is far away from it, then let him intend the Lord of the house, for indeed He is closer to him than the jugular vein.

Perform The Ruqyah Upon Yourself

Question Posed To Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allah preserve him):

May Allah treat you with good, Noble Shaykh. This questioner asks: “If there is someone who is stronger than me in faith, piety and knowledge, and I know that I am upon acts of disobedience to Allah and my faith is weak, can I request from this person to perform the ruqyah upon me, or is it better that I perform it upon myself?”

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

Perform the ruqyah upon yourself. Don’t seek the ruqyah (from someone else). Be independent from the people even if you are one who is disobedient (to Allah). Is it mandatory that you have to be a complete (believer), not having committed any acts of disobedience?! None of us – and there is no might of power except with Allah – are free from acts of disobedience. Continue reading →

Learning Fiqh Without The Correct ‘Aqeedah Is A Waste!

The ‘Allaamah Shaykh Rabee’ (may Allah preserve him) stated:

By Allah there’s no value for Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) or other than that it if we were to waste the ‘Aqeedah (Islamic Creed), the Tawheed and (then) fall into Shirk (association of partners) with Allah. There’s no benefit in any science at all! Even if we were to memorize the Qur’aan, the Hadeeth, the books of Fiqh, and yet at the same time we (fall) into the darkness of Shirk, (then) there’s no value for us; we will never (have derived) benefit from this knowledge (we acquired)!!!  Continue reading →

The Weak Hadeeth Should Not Be Used At All

Al-Imaam al-Albaani (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

That which I worship Allah with and call the people to is that the weak hadeeth is not to be used at all. It is not to be used in (justifying) the virtues (of actions), recommended acts, or other than that.  Continue reading →

A Point Of Benefit From Shaykh Muhammad Bazmool

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Umar Baazmool (may Allah preserve him) said the following to Hammaas (an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood):

If there is no religious enmity between you and the Jews, and the enmity that is present is only over the land, then why do you show enmity to the Salafees when they haven’t stolen any land from you?!

رسالة في الصميم إلى حماس الإخوانية

:الشيخ محمد بن عمر بازمول

إذا لم يكن بينكم وبين اليهود عداوة دينية ، إنما عداوة من أجل الأرض ، فلماذا تعادون السلفيين ، وهم لم يغتصبوا أرضاً لكم؟

A True Companion Aids His Brother

Shaykh Zayd al-Madkhali (may Allah have mercy upon him) stated:

The one who is truly a companion is the one who aids his brother according to that which he (the one reminding) is able to do, even if it is with the statement of good. He aids him by way of giving (his brother) the (beneficial) advice (even if that advice goes) against him. When he forgets anything, he reminds him in order that he (i.e. the one reminding) establishes the rights of companionship. (This is) especially in that which is connected to the matters of the religion. He reminds him, advises him and does good to him. All of that is from fulfilling the rights of companionship. As for the one who doesn’t remind you when you forget, and he doesn’t aid you when you are in need of him, (then) indeed he has not established the rights of companionship. That’s because he doesn’t know its status and the status of that which comes as a result of fulfilling (rights of companionship) with the companions (that he have).  Continue reading →
