What in the case of someone who was a yahoo boy who dupe people, and collect rival based loan from bank which he isn’t even capable of paying? He was a muslim but gets still fall into this sin. Now he wants to see forgiveness and amend his way. Will Allah still forgive sir one like this knowing that he can never repay the ribah based loan he borrowed as they’re too much and it’s hard to identity everyone he cheated.

Normally,should this person continue sinning and abandoning solah knowing that there’s no forgiveness for him?

Please make no use of my reply for I was driven by emotions and lack of knowledge thus I ended up being one sided i.e. I focused on the desperation part of your problem and left off the part involving others right. I free myself from the reply and I urge everybody to take it as incorrect and from Shaitan. I will have it deleted inshaAllah. Take

advice may Allah aid you through your journey of repentance.

AbulAbbas:
In reality you spoke out of your own words because you brought an hadeeth that is entirely different from this individual's case, and the individual would think it applies to him due to that. This is dangerous because this is the same thing the yahood (jews) do:

ومن الذين هادوا يحرفون الكلم عن مواضعه

They change words from their proper context. Bringing a scholars statement filled with proof would've been the correct thing to do.

If you want to aid an individual, aid him with the truth not emotions. Allaah will forgive him insha Allaah, but he'll still try to give people their rights, if he dies trying to do so, then insha Allaah, Allaah would pay the remaining for him.

Jazakumullah khairan sir, this is nothing but truth, I was certainly driven by emotions and lack of knowledge. Allah's forgiveness is sought, and I will take more caution next time.

The correct thing - Insha Allaah as mentioned by scholars of Islam, the likes of Ibn Baaz - is youll still return the money, and if you dont know them due to their number, then you can use the money as sadaqah for them. And if you tried your best to pay and couldnt finish paying until death visits you, then hopefully Allaah will pay it up for you on the day of judgement. Because there are statements from the Messenger of Allaah that point to this.

And Allaah knows best

Jazakumullah khairan sir, I'm only helping a man that is about to despair Allah's forgiveness and that is why I didn't speak out of my words or say I heard a scholar said this or that in which I may not be able to give references rather I brought paragraphs from a post and included the link to the full post. If what I did was wrong, I am so much open to corrections in order to avoid such next time.

Do not cease being repentant to Allah
By Abu Khadeejah
https://abukhadeejah.com/do-not-cease-being-repentant-to-allaah/

All Praise is due to Allāh, we praise Him, seek His aid and His Forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allāh from the evils of our souls and the evils of our actions. Whomsoever Allāh guides there is none to misguide and whomsoever Allāh misguides there is none to guide. I bear witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allāh, alone, without any partners and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.

To proceed,

“O you who believe, fear Allāh as He should be feared, and die not except as Muslims.” (3:102)

“O mankind! Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife [Hawwa (Eve)], and from them both He created many men and women and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever an All-Watcher over you.” (4:1)

“O you who believe! Keep your duty to Allāh and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allāh and His Messenger he has indeed achieved a great achievement (i.e. he will be saved from the Hell-fire and made to enter Paradise).”(33:70-71)

To proceed,

The truest speech is the Book of Allāh, and the best way is the way of Muhammad (ﷺ). The worst of affairs are the newly invented matters, every newly invented matter is an innovation, every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire. To proceed,

My brothers and sisters, there’s a hadeeth qudsi collected by Imaam at-Tirmidhi (rahimahullaah) in which Allaah’s Messenger (ﷺ) mentions from Allaah (subhana wa ta’ala) some tremendous words that give hope to the hearts and raise the spirits of a person as it relates to its connection with Allaah (subhana wa ta’ala). Allaah 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. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and were you then to face Me, ascribing no partner to Me, I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great as it.” In that there is courage for the hearts and it puts into the souls a desire to turn to Allah and never give up hope, for indeed the believer does not give up hope in Allaah.

The point is, upon us is to be constant in istighfar (seeking forgiveness). As long as you are seeking forgiveness from Allaah, sincerely saying Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah), allaahummaghfirli (O Allaah! Forgive me) and so on, Allaah does not punish. Allaah mentions in the Qur’aan “And Allaah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness.” (8:33) – that’s why our tongues should be moist with the remembrance of Allaah by praising and glorifying Him, and seeking His mercy, His forgiveness and His guidance. Were you to meet Allaah with an earth full of sins but you haven’t committed shirk at all, then Allaah would come to you with forgiveness as great as it (the earth). The Prophets and Messengers themselves were constant in seeking forgiveness. Imagine the individuals whose sins are already forgiven and their place in Jannah is assured for them yet seek forgiveness from Allaah (subhana wa ta’ala) constantly. Musa (alaihis’sallam) said to Allaah, “My Lord, indeed I have transgressed myself so forgive me.” Whereas the Prophet (ﷺ), Allaah commanded him to say “And seek forgiveness for your sins O Muhammad and for the believing men and women.”

Seeking forgiveness is something to which we don’t give the attention it deserves. Allaah has forbidden us from becoming from those individuals who despair of the mercy of Allaah and there is not a crime that Allaah will not forgive except one if you die upon it and Allaah says in the Qur’aan[b] “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.”[/b] (4:48) – so any crime lesser than Shirk, Allaah (subhaana wa ta’ala) will forgive as long as you seek forgiveness, turn to Him and you are penitent. Like the Prophet or early Salaf used to say “tawbah is regret” meaning that tawbah is to feel regret, feeling regretful of the things you did and every time you disobeyed Allaah. This regret leads to the path of tawbah and when it is said regret is tawbah, it means the greatest portion of turning to Allaah in repentance is regret, knowing that you did something wrong and then you turn to Allaah and Allaah says in the Qur’aan “Say: “O ‘Ibaadi (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.” (39:53)

Shaykh Abdul-‘Aziz ibn Baaz (rahimahullah) said: “The scholars have agreed that this noble ayah was revealed regarding the ones who repented.” So whosoever repented, with a sincere and truthful tawbah then Allaah will forgive all of his sins due to this ayah, likewise where Allaah mentions “O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)” (66:8] Your Lord is oft forgiving Most Merciful. So, turn to Him which requires you make dhikr of Him. How can you seek forgiveness and become repentant with regard to your shortcomings and your acts of disobedience except by making dhikr of Allaah (mentioning Him). The more you mention Him the closer you get to Him and the closer you get to Allaah the further He will take you away from that which will cause you destruction by sinning and transgression. Be constant in dhikr and seeking forgiveness and do not despair at the mercy of Allaah because our Lord is forgiving, merciful and He will continue to forgive you as long as you turn to Him upon tawheed.

Continued:
So Shaykh Abdul-aziz Ibn Baaz (rahimahullah) said: “When one ponders over the ayah “O you who believe! Turn to Allah with sincere repentance! It may be that your Lord will remit from you your sins, and admit you into Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise)” (66: 8] We see that the reward of sincere and truthful repentance is not simply the sin being wiped away rather there is an additional reward (Paradise).”

This tawbah includes:
First and foremost, leaving the sin. When you realise that you are guilty of doing an action knowing it to be haraam (forbidden), you must leave it, stop doing it.

Secondly: you should feel regret because you have disobeyed your Lord and committed a sin.

Thirdly: seek forgiveness from Allaah (subhaana wa ta’aala).

Fourthly: resolve never to return back to the sin.

Fifthly: if you have taken someone’s right (property or honour), you must return it or recompense it.

The difference between tawbah (repentance) and istighfar (seeking forgiveness):

Shaykh-ul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said (in meaning): Istighfaar is when a person commits a sin and says: O Allaah forgive me. In this he may not resolve to stop the sin but still asks Allaah for forgiveness, sincerely. In this situation, is the person forgiven? There is no doubt that there is no barrier between a person seeking Allaah’s forgiveness and Allaah forgiving him. But it does not necessitate that he has entered into the arena of repentance because repentance and forgiveness are two things. Forgiveness enters into repentance because one of the stages of repentance is seeking forgiveness. But repentance is higher and more complete.

And Allaah says: “And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful.” (24:31). Shaykh Abdul-aziz ibn Baaz says about this Aayah: “In this ayah, Allaah has connected success with tawbah.” So, the one that has repented is successful and happy, follows-up his tawbah with eemaan and righteousness, changing his life in order to not fall back on the sins he repented from.

Allaah says “And those who invoke not any other ilaah (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. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic Monotheism), and do righteous deeds, for those, Allah will change their sins into good deeds, and Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. ” (25:68-70)

So we call upon Allaah, by making dhikr of Him as Allaah mentions “Call upon Me, I will answer you” (40:60)

and “And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) 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).” (2:186)

When you call upon Allaah, He responds to your call. This is from the means that Allaah has given us of getting close to Allaah, earning His forgiveness attaining His mercy. Those who truly seek forgiveness, do not despair even if your sins were to reach the sky and you were to turn to Allaah, asking for His mercy, He would forgive you. Even if you sin again, turn to Him alone and never lose that connection with Allaah – Pray five times a day, worship Him. The Prophet (ﷺ) said about the salaah, “Do you think that if there was a river by the door of one of you, and he bathed in it five times each day that there would remain any filth on him?” They said: “No filth would stay on him.” He said: “That is the parable of the five prayers, Allah wipes out the sins with them.” (Narrated by Abu Hurairah, Jamee at-Tirmidhi Vol. 5, Book 42, Hadith 2868)

Salaah is a cleanser and protection for a Muslim. It is protection because when he prays he thinks how he will face his Lord when he’s committed a sin. Prayer forbids from Munkar, Fahshaa (lewd acts), sins and transgression because salaah is the connection between you and your Lord. If you break this connection then all of the connections of Islaam are lost. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is prayer; so whoever leaves it, he has committed Kufr.’” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 1, Book 5, Hadith 1079)

My brothers and sisters, Ramadhaan may have come to an end but your salaah and ibaadah doesn’t come to an end. It’s like saying ‘when such and such months ends, I’ll stop breathing’. You can’t stop your ibaadah now that Ramadhaan has ended – because ibaadah runs through the veins of the Muslim. If we are not making ibaadah, we don’t feel comfortable rather we feel agitated, depressed and sad because ibaadah awakens the souls. Turn to Allaah, do not become negligent and encourage your family and neighbours, most importantly be upright yourselves.

BaarakaAllaahu Feekum, We ask Allaah to grant us success to worship Him, and obey Him as He deserves – we ask Him to forgive us and show us His mercy and enter us in to the eternal Gardens of Paradise and protect us from His punishment. And all praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds.

So 'Allamah Albani and Shaykh Zayed Madkhalee (may Allah's mercy be with them) are olodo now... That is the haddadiyyah manhaj we are talking about, inside you they should be kuffar right, because to you and your Sheikhul Dalaala al-khaarij al-jaahil 'alee jabata they called to the kufr of eating with spoon.

Done!

Ahmak, the first khawaarij are intelligent when compared to Sheikhul Dalaala al-khaarij al-jaahil 'alee jabata because they made takfir of muslims due to sins but Sheikhul Dalaala al-khaarij al-jaahil 'alee jabata and his boys made takfir out eating with spoon which is neither sin nor bid'ah. That is why Sheikhul Dalaala al-khaarij al-jaahil 'alee jabata is an ignorant khaarij

Islam › Re: Confirmation That Judaism And Christianity Are Forms Of Disbelief - Ibn Uthaymin by Orthodoxy: 9:02am On Sep 18, 2024

AntiChristian:
Question: One of the preachers in one of the mosques in Europe claimed that it is not allowed to consider Jews and Christians disbelievers. You know – may Allaah preserve you – that most of the people who attend the mosques in Europe have very little knowledge. We fear that statements like this one will become widespread. Therefore, we request from you a complete and clear answer to this question.

Answer: I say: The statement that came from that man is misguidance. In fact, it can be blasphemy. This is because Allaah has declared that Jews and Christians are disbelievers (kuffaar) in His Book. Allaah has said,

“And the Jews say, ‘Ezra is the son of Allaah,’ and the Christians say, ‘The Messiah is the son of Allaah.’ This is a saying from their mouths. They imitate the saying of the disbelievers of old. Allaah’s curse be on them, how they are deluded away from the truth. They took their rabbis and their monks as lords besides Allaah and [they also took as Lord] the Messiah, son of Mary. But they were commanded only to worship none but One God. Praise and Glory be to Him, [far above is He] from having the partners they associate with Him.” [at-Taubah 9:30-31]

That shows that they are polytheists who associate partners with Allaah. In other verses, Allaah has made it clear that they are disbelievers:

“Surely in disbelief are they who say that Allaah is the Messiah, son of Mary.” [al-Maidah 5:17 and 72]

“Surely, disbelievers are those who said, ‘Allaah is the third of the three [in a Trinity].” [al-Maidah 5:73]

“Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, son of Mary.” [al-Maidah 5:87]

“Those who disbelieve among the People of the Book and the idolaters will abide in the Fire of Hell.” [al-Bayyinah 98:6]

Many verses and hadith express the same meaning. The one who rejects the idea that the Jews and the Christians who do not believe in Muhammad [peace be upon him] and deny him are disbelievers is, in fact, denying what Allaah has said. Denying what Allaah has said is blasphemy. If anyone has any doubt concerning them being disbelievers, then he himself is also a disbeliever.

Glory be to Allaah!

How could that man be pleased to say that it is not allowed to say that they are disbelievers when they themselves say that Allaah is one of a Trinity? Their Creator Himself has declared that they are disbelievers.

How could this man not be pleased to call them disbelievers when they actually say, “Jesus is the son of God” or “the hand of Allaah is tied,” and “Allaah is poor and we are rich”?

How could this man not be pleased to call them disbelievers and apply the word of disbelief (kufr) to them in general when they describe their Lord in such ways that are nothing but cursing and abusing Allaah?

I call upon that man to repent to Allaah and to read Allaah’s words, “They wish that you should compromise (in religion out of courtesy) with them, so that they (too) would compromise with you.” [al-Qalam (68):9]

He should make it clear to everyone that they are disbelievers and that they are the inhabitants of the Hell-fire. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,

“By the One in whose hand my soul is, no Jew or Christian of this community hears about me – that is from the community of people from the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him) until the Day of Judgment – and then does not follow me – or he said does not believe in what I brought – except that he is from the inhabitants of the Hell-fire.” [Saheeh Muslim]

The one who made such a statement must repent to his Lord because of this great falsehood he has stated. He must make a clear announcement that they are disbelievers and that they are inhabitants of the Hell-fire. He must also announce that it is obligatory upon them to follow the unlettered Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). he is the one that the Jews and the Christians know and they know him like they know their own sons. Allaah has stated,

“Those who follow the Messenger, the illiterate Prophet whom they find written about with them in the Torah and the Gospel, he commands what is right and forbids what is evil. He allows them the good things and forbids for them disdainful things. He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the fetters that were upon them. So those who believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful.” [al-Araf 7:157]

He is the one of whom Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon him) gave glad tidings. Jesus said, as His Lord states in the Quran,

“O Israel, I am the Messenger of Allaah for you confirming the Torah (which came) before me, and giving glad tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad [one of the names of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him]. But when he came to them with clear proofs, they said, ‘This is clear magic.’” [as-Saff 61:6]

When the one, Ahmad, who was promised came to them with clear signs, they said that it was nothing but magic. By this, we can refute those Christians who say that the one Jesus promised was named Ahmad and not Muhammad. We say to that that Allaah said, “When he came with clear proofs,” and none has come to you after Jesus except Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muhammad is Ahmad and Allaah inspired Jesus to call Muhammad Ahmad. This is because Ahmad is a name from the root meaning, “to praise,” and the name itself means, “One who praises Allaah more than others.” Therefore, [Muhammad (peace be upon him)] is the most praiseworthy of Allaah among all peoples…

I further say: If anyone claims that there is a religion on earth other than Islam that is acceptable to Allaah, then the person who made that claim is a disbeliever and there is no doubt about his disbelief. This is because Allaah has said in His Book, “Whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.” [ali-Imran 3:85]. Allaah has also said, “Truly, the religion in the sight of Allaah is Islam” [ali-Imran 3:19]. Another verse states, “This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion” [al-Maida 5:3]

Based on that – and I repeat it for a third time – the person who made that statement [mentioned in the question] must repent to Allaah, Most High. And he must also make it clear to all the people that those Jews and Christians are disbelievers. This is so because the proof has been established against them, they have received the message but they have refused to believe.

The Jews have been described as those who have earned Allaah’s wrath. That is because they knew the truth and chose to go against it. The Christians have been described as those who have gone astray. This is because they sought the truth but were misled from it. Now, all of them have knowledge of the truth and recognize it. However, they go against it. Therefore, they all deserve to have the wrath of Allaah upon them. I call all those Jews and Christians to believe in Allaah and all of His Messengers. I call upon them to follow the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This is what they have been ordered to do in their own books. Allaah states in the Quran,

“My Mercy embraces all things. That (Mercy) I shall ordain for those who are God-fearing and give zakat, and those who believe in Our revelations. Those who follow the Messenger, the illiterate Prophet whom they find written about with them in the Torah and the Gospel, he commands what is right and forbids what is evil. He allows them the good things and forbids for them disdainful things. He releases them from their heavy burdens and from the fetters that were upon them. So those who believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow the light which has been sent down with him, it is they who will be successful. Say (O Muhammad): O Mankind! Verily, I am sent to all of you as the Messenger of Allaah, to whom belongs the heavens and the earth. There is no true God but He. It is He who gives life and causes death. So believe in Allaah and His Messenger, the unlettered, who believes in Allaah and His Words. And follow him so that you may be guided.” [al-Araf 7:156-158].

[By having such faith, those converts from Judaism and Christianity] shall receive their reward twice. The Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said, “There are three people who will receive their rewards twice: A person from the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] who believed in his prophet and believed in Muhammad…” [al-Bukhari and Muslim].

I have also found in the law book al-Iqna`, in the section on apostasy, where the author has stated,

“One who does not consider as a disbeliever one who follows a religion other than Islam, such as the Christians, or who has doubt about their disbelief or who approves of their way himself is a disbeliever.”

And he quotes Ibn Taimiya as saying,

“[The following is] a disbeliever:

Whoever believes that churches are the houses of Allaah in which he He is worshipped or who thinks that what the Jews and Christians do are valid acts of worship of Allaah and obedience to Him and His Messenger, or loves or approves of what they do, or aids them in having such places and establishing their religion, and he does so thinking that is a way of getting closer to Allaah or worshipping Allaah.”

He also stated,

“If someone believes that visiting the Jews and the Christians in their places of worship is an act that brings him closer to Allaah, then he is an apostate.”

These statements support what was stated in the text of the answer. This is a matter concerning which there is no room for doubt. And help is sought only with Allaah.

Replacing 3 fingers with cutleries is Bidiah
Replacing the hands with tesuba or other counting methods is Bidiah too

And all bid'ah is kufr (to jabata and his boys), thus if you eat with spoon and you are provided with the above understanding of 'alee Al khaarij jabata and you refuse to stop using spoon you are out of Islam and will spend eternity in hell. Pure Takfiree logic.

Virtues Of The Scholars And The Importance Of Returning To Them

February 16, 2022 Reading Time: 10 mins read

The scholars are the light illuminating the world from the darkness of ignorance, their similitude on this earth is like that of the stars in the sky. The scholars are the ones giving sight, with the permission of Allah, to people who have been made blind by ignorance and misguided callers. They are the ones teaching and awakening us about Allah, and they are the ones explaining what is permissible and what is not permissible to the Ummah. Even though the scholars know that the deviants will strive to shatter their honour if they speak against their deviation, scholars sacrificed their personal honour, and firmly stand to establish the truth for the ummah and save them from the lies and distortions of the deviants.

Having scholars amongst us is a blessing, for a time will come when there will be no knowledge in the world again and the world would be filled with ignorants and they will issue verdicts that will mislead people. Allah سبحانه وتعالى mentioned the virtue of scholars and He said:

هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُون

Are those who know equal to those who know not?¹

Allah sent His prophets to the world to guide people to the straight path, and since there are no prophets amongst us anymore, scholars are those who inherited the knowledge from the prophets to call people to jannah and warn people against jahannam.

Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with AbudDarda’ in the mosque of Damascus.

A man came to him and said: AbudDarda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I have come for no other purpose.

He said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The scholars are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.”²

Scholars inherited the best of people, and that is a great virtue for them. Any Muslim who wants to hold on to what the prophets brought to us should stick to the scholars of sunnah, and anyone who wishes to be in jannah and wishes to be safe from jahannam should stick to the scholars of sunnah.

In a world where people now tag returning issues to senior scholars in the time of general fitan (trials and tribulations) upon evidences as blindfollowing, it is important that we explain the virtues of scholars and the importance of returning general issues affecting the society back to them.

Allah سبحانه وتعالى commanded us to ask the scholars the scholars when He said:

فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

So ask the people of the Reminder if you do not know.³

And in another verse, He سبحانه وتعالى commanded us to follow them, He said:

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْ

“O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ), and those of you (Muslims) who are in authority.”⁴

In his Tafsir, Ibn Kathīr رحمه الله said regarding the explanation of this verse that those in authority refers to the leaders and the scholars.⁵

Allah specifically stated that returning back to the prophet ﷺ and the scholars is a means of understanding issues affecting the general public. He said:

َإِذَا جَآءَهُمْ أَمْرٌ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْنِ أَوِ ٱلْخَوْفِ أَذَاعُوا۟ بِهِۦ ۖ وَلَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسْتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنْهُمْ ۗ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعْتُمُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

When there comes to them some matter touching (public) safety or fear, they make it known (among the people), if only they had referred it to the Messenger or to those charged with authority among them, the proper investigators would have understood it from them (directly). Had it not been for the Grace and Mercy of Allah upon you, you would have followed Shaytan, save a few of you.⁶

Senior scholars, due to their firmness in knowledge and vast experience in the field of Da’wah, are more befitting to treat general issues than other than them. When the prophet ﷺ predicted the fitnah of misguided and deviant scholars in the hadith of Hudhayfah bn Al Yamān radiyallahu anhu⁷, Hudhayfah bn Al-Yamān asked the Messenger ﷺ of the rectification from these fitnah, He ﷺ told him that “Adhere to the Jama’ah and their Imam”.

Muʿāwiyah bn Abī Sufyān said⁸:

“Indeed, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ stood among us and said: Beware! Those who came before you from the people of the book split up into seventy two sects, and this religion (Islām) will split into seventy three. Seventy two of them will be in the Fire and one of them will be in the Jannah, and it is the Jamāʿah.⁹

The word Jama’ah has been explained by the Salaf, and one of their explanation to the word is that it refers back to scholars upon the truth, and those who are with them. Imām At-Tirmidhī reported from Ibn ‘Umar that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Allah will not unite my Ummah upon misguidance. And the Hand of Allah is with the Jamā’ah , and whoever deviates from that, he deviates himself to the Fire.”¹⁰

Abu ‘Īsā At-Tirmidhī said: “And the meaning of Al- Jamā’ah in the view of the scholars is: The people of understanding and knowledge and hadīth (ahlul-fiqh wal-‘ilm wal-hadīth).”

Abu ‘Īsā At-Tirmidhī said: I heard Al-Jārūd Ibn Mu’ādh saying: I heard ‘Alī Ibn Al-Hasan saying: I asked Abdullāh Ibn Al-Mubārak: “Who are the Jamā’ah ?” He said: “Abu Bakr and ‘Umar.” It was said to him: “But Abu Bakr and ‘Umar are dead.” He said: “Then it is so-and-so and so-and-so.” So it was said: “But so-and-so and so-and-so are also dead.” So he said: “Then Abu Hamzah As-Sukkarī is the Jamā’ah .”

Abu ‘Īsā At-Tirmidhī said: “Abu Hamzah is Muhammad Ibn Maymūn. He was a righteous scholar. He said this regarding him in his lifetime.”

So the Jamā’ah about whom the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “The Hand of Allah is with the Jamā’ah,” [/b]are the scholars and whoever deviates from that Jamā’ah, “deviates himself to the Fire.” ¹²

When Is’hāq bn Rāhawayh was asked about the Jama’ah¹¹, he said it is Muhammad bn Aslam (At-Tūsiy), his companions and those who follow him; then it was mentioned to him that Abdullah bn Al Mubaarak said it was Abu Hamzah As Sukkari (as it was mentioned in the narration of At Tirmidhi above), Abu Is’hāq said: [b]“That is at that time and at our time, it is Muhammad bn Aslam and those who follow him.” Is’hāq bn Rāhawayh also said:

If you were to ask the ignoramuses about the Sawād al-Aʿẓam (the main body of muslims), they would say the majority of people, and they do not know that the Jamāʿah is a scholar who holds fast to the narrations of the Prophet ﷺ and his path. So, whoever is with him and follows him is [part of] the Jamāʿah.¹³

The above narrations from the Salaf has explained to us that scholars are referred to as the Jama’ah that should be held on to at the time of division among the ummah. And it should be noted that scholars in those context do not refer to just any common scholar, but the refer to senior scholars of those time.

عن ابن عباس قال : قال رسول الله – صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم – : ” البركة مع أكابركم

‘Abdullah bn ‘Abbas narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that: “Blessing is with your elder ones”¹⁴

Abdullah bn Mubaarak رحمه الله was also a scholar at his time, yet he referred people to Abu Hamzah As Sukkari. Is’hāq bn Rāhawayh was also a scholar at his own time, yet he referred people back to Muhammad bn Aslam At-Tūsiy. Another clear evidence for this was when the fitnah of the Qadariyyah happened in Basrah at the time of the companions and the tābi’een, scholars from the tāb’een; the likes of Yaḥya ibn Ya’mar and Humayd ibn Abdirrahman Al Himyaree were there in Basrah, yet they referred the issue back to the companions, who were the senior scholars of that period, and that can be captured in the below narration:

Yahyaa Ibn Yamar said: The first one to speak about [the denial] Al-Qadr in Basrah was Mabad Al-Juhanee. So Humaid Ibn Abdir-Rahmaan al-Himyaree and I set out for Hajj and Umrah and we said:

“If we meet any of the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger, we shall ask them about what these people are saying about Al-Qadar.” It so happened that we came across [the Companion of the Prophet] Abdullaah Ibn Umar whilst he was entering the Masjid, so my friend and I came alongside him, one on his right the other on his left. So I said: “O Abu Abdir-Rahmaan (i.e. Ibn Umar)! There are people who have appeared in our land that read the Qur’aan and seek knowledge.” – so I spoke about them – “and they claim there is no Qadar and that things are not pre-decreed.”

So Ibn Umar (radiyallaahu anhumaa) said:

فَإِذَا لَقِيتَ أُولَئِكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ أَنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنَّهُمْ بُرَآءُ مِنِّي وَالَّذِي يَحْلِفُ بِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِأَحَدِهِمْ مِثْلَ أُحُدٍ ذَهَبًا فَأَنْفَقَهُ مَا قَبِلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ

“If you meet those people, tell them I have nothing to do with them and they have nothing to do with me. By the One whom Abdullaah Ibn `Umar swears! If One of them had gold like the mountain of Uhud and he was to give it away in charity, Allaah would not accept it from him until and unless he believed in the Pre-Decree.”¹⁵

Same was the case with Zubayd bn Al-Hārith Al-Yāmī, when the deviant sect of Mur’jiah appeared in his time, even though he was a scholar at that time, yet he referred the issue to the senior scholars of that time; he referred back to Abu Wā’il Shaqeeq bn Salamah رحمه الله.

عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا وَائِلٍ عَنِ الْمُرْجِئَةِ،، فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ “‏ سِبَابُ الْمُسْلِمِ فُسُوقٌ، وَقِتَالُهُ كُفْرٌ ‏”‌‏.‏

Zubayd said: “I asked Abu Wā’il about the Mur’jiah and he said that ‘Abdullah narrated to me that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Reviling a Muslim is sinfulness and fighting against him is disbelief.”¹⁶

The honoured reader should not be deceived by innovators and misguided people who try to cut people away from the major scholars for them to establish themselves to people as scholars; they do this to be able to oppose the scholars in their rulings backed up with evidences and they deceive people with emotion and deception to follow the path of the devil.

The famous devilish statement of the Sufis “They are men and we are men” in referring the major scholars is to portray the scholars as common men like themselves. The Ikhwaanul Mufsideen and Khawarij would also depict the scholars as puppets of rulers and money, so as to direct the people to deviants like Sayyid Qutb. Safar and Salmān, the two leaders of misguidance in the last century would depict scholars as ignorants and claim that they know the current affairs that scholars do not know. The innovators of today, Al-Ma’ribee, Al-Halabi, Al-Hajūri and their followers would falsely allege those who follow the major scholars upon evidences as blind followers, just to make them feel guilty of following the correct path.

The followers of Muhammad bn Haadi, the Musa’fiqah, has also embarked on that way and have found a new way of presenting Ibn Haadi, the wicked oppressor to people as a victim and they try to excuse the major scholars who have refuted Ibn Haadi heavily by saying that those scholars do not know the reality of those whom they have oppressively tagged as Sa’afiqah. We beseech Allah to relieve us of their harms.

A true Salafi should be firm as a mountain, he should hold on the Qur’ān and Sunnah upon the path of the pious predecessors. A Salafi should be firm upon the truth, no matter how fierce the wind is, he should develop a thick skin without fearing the blame of the blamers, he should hold on to the major scholars and be part of those who the prophet ﷺ described below:

لاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَائِمَةً بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ أَوْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ ظَاهِرُونَ عَلَى النَّاسِ

“There shall not cease to remain a group (tā’ifah) from my Ummah steadfast upon the command of Allah. They are not harmed by those who abandon them nor by those who oppose them, until the command of Allah comes – and they shall by manifest over the people.”¹⁷

May Allah ease our affairs

This paragraph is from an article in which I will be making a post on inshaAllah in order to expose those who claim returning to the scholars of Sunnah is blind following and blameworthy.

The scholars are the light illuminating the world from the darkness of ignorance, their similitude on this earth is like that of the stars in the sky. The scholars are the ones giving sight, with the permission of Allah, to people who have been made blind by ignorance and misguided callers. They are the ones teaching and awakening us about Allah, and they are the ones explaining what is permissible and what is not permissible to the Ummah. Even though the scholars know that the deviants will strive to shatter their honour if they speak against their deviation, scholars sacrificed their personal honour, and firmly stand to establish the truth for the ummah and save them from the lies and distortions of the deviants.

Having scholars amongst us is a blessing, for a time will come when there will be no knowledge in the world again and the world would be filled with ignorants and they will issue verdicts that will mislead people. Allah سبحانه وتعالى mentioned the virtue of scholars and He said:

هَلْ يَسْتَوِى ٱلَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَٱلَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُون

Are those who know equal to those who know not?¹

Allah sent His prophets to the world to guide people to the straight path, and since there are no prophets amongst us anymore, scholars are those who inherited the knowledge from the prophets to call people to jannah and warn people against jahannam.

Beware of those who use their understanding to explain the religion, can any sane person show me from everything the ignorant posted above where the Prophet or any of the salaf call a person a sinner or kaafir for eating with other that three fingers? That's how to identify a takfiree.

So the scholars of our time are technically by you and olodo jabata promoting kufr to people.
A very simple way to cut people from the scholars.
His reply will be, "is it scholars the Prophet ask you to follow?"

Islam › The Celebration Of The Prophet’s Birthday by Orthodoxy(op): 12:12am On Sep 16, 2024*

Refuting Some Of The Doubts Of The Misguided Deceiver Who Permits The Celebration Of The Prophet’s Birthday

October 8, 2022 in Articles, Creed, Da'wah, Methodology, Salafiyyah Reading Time: 8 mins read

https://arrisaalahpubs.com/refuting-some-of-the-doubts-of-the-misguided-deceiver-who-permits-the-celebration-of-the-prophets-birthday/

Questioner Muḥammad from Morrocco. May Allāh grant him success and set his affairs aright.

As-Salām ʿalaykum wa raḥmatullāh wa barakātuh.

Our Shaykh, may Allāh preserve you, one of the supporters of the celebration of the Prophet’s Mawlid (birthday) said this:

“We do not say that the commemoration of the [Prophet’s] birthday is compulsory. Likewise, there is no evidence in what they mentioned on its prohibition. And Allāh—the Most High—said in Sūrah Yūnus, Verse 58:

﴾Say: “In the Bounty of Allāh, and in His Mercy; therein let them rejoice.” That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.[/b]﴿

And in it is a clear evidence on the legislation of expressing joy and happiness on the likes of this occasion, if we do not say it is obligatory, because His statement: ﴾let them rejoice﴿ is a command, and the apparent meaning of a command is obligation. So, the least of its cases is for it to point to recommendation or permissibility.

If it is said: ‘There is no mention of the Prophet in the verse.’

We say: Nay, His statement ﴾And in his mercy﴿ includes the Prophet, according to [His] the Most High’s statement in Sūrah Al-Anbiyāʾ, Verse 107:

﴾And We have sent you (O Muhammad ﷺ) not but as a mercy for the ‘Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists).﴿

And the intent is his [i.e., the Prophet’s] advent and the advent of his message and legislation. The verse has stipulated that he is a Raḥmah (mercy), and which Raḥmah is greater than the existence of an illiterate prophet amidst the Arabs? And which Raḥmah is greater than being guided by the light of his legislation?

Likewise, Allāh—the Most High—says:

﴾And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allāh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts.﴿ [Al-Ḥajj: 32]

And which symbol of the muslims is greater than Muḥammad and what he brought?

And the least honour is for us to revive his remembrance in our hearts, show his virtues to the people, acquaint the ignoramuses with his level and disgrace the disbelievers by proclaiming allegiance to him, not by [making use of] musical instruments, dancing, singing, or drinking alcohol as the critic [of the celebration] assumes. Rather, [it is] by mentioning the loftiness of his status and character, and showing something from his biography.

It is surprising about those that object to everything that is related to the Prophet Muḥammad ṣ. They prohibit visiting his grave, kill his children, erase his traces, and forbid celebrating his birth, biʿthah (sending as a Messenger), migration, etc.

Are they Muslims? Do they love the greatest Prophet ṣ? And do they even listen to what their mouths are saying? And see what they are doing? And realize where they are going?” End of his statement—word-for-word.

How can a deterrent refutation be made against this claimant? So that we can benefit from your knowledge. May Allāh increase you from His knowledge and may He reward you.

Answer:

Wa ʿalaykum as-Salām wa raḥmatullāh wa barakātuh.

In response to your question and the doubts of this claimer of knowledge, I say—and with Allāh is all success:

In the name of Allāh. All praise is due to Allāh. May blessings and peace be upon the Messenger of Allāh, his household, his companions, and whoever follows his guidance. To proceed:

Indeed, the deceits and lies of the people of desire and falsehood do not finish! Except with their being guided to the truth—and that is what we hope for from Allāh, the Most High—or with their ruin upon falsehood! Refuge is sought in Allāh, the Most High.

Indeed, love of the noble Prophet ﷺ and rejoicing over his biʿthah is not for one day, two days, or three days in a year alone! Rather it is at every time and moment from the moments of our life.

And indeed, real love for him and genuine joy over him ﷺ and his legislation is only by following his religion, reviving his sunnah, and by acting upon that and rejoicing over it at every time and moment, not during numbered days in the year alone!

And his love and joy over his ﷺ biʿthah is not by innovating what he forbade and warned against severely, such as his warning against what you do of worst, newly invented, and innovated affairs!

Love necessitates obedience, as Allāh, the Most High, said:

﴾Say (O Muhammad ﷺ 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 your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”﴿ [Āl ʿImrān: 31]

And He ﷺ said:

“All of my nation will enter paradise except whoever refuses.” They [i.e., the Companions] said: “O Messenger of Allāh, and who will refuse?” He said: “Whoever obeys me will enter paradise and whoever disobeys me has refused.” Reported by Imām Al-Bukhārī in his Ṣaḥīḥ.

So, which people have more love for him and are more joyous about him and his biʿthah—may the blessings of my Lord and His peace be upon him—we his actual followers or you that claim that [i.e., to be his lovers] for a single day in the whole year and are the opposers of his commands and perpetrators of his prohibitions?? May the blessings of my Lord and His peace be upon him.

As for their distortion of the meaning of the speech of Allāh, for that distortion to agree with their innovations, and for them to use it to support their falsehood by mentioning Qurʾānic verses that have no correlation with what they seek evidence for, then this is very much!

From that is what this deceiver brought regarding the statement of Allāh, the Most High:

﴾Say: “In the Bounty of Allāh, and in His Mercy; therein let them rejoice.” That is better than what (the wealth) they amass.﴿ [Yūnus: 58]

And His—the Most High’s— statement:

﴾And whosoever honours the Symbols of Allāh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts﴿ [Al-Ḥajj: 32]

And his distortion of the words from their rightful places! By incorporating the innovation of celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ in His—the Most High’s—statement
﴾In the Bounty of Allāh and in His Mercy﴿, in the first verse; and in His—the Most High’s— statement ﴾Symbols of Allāh﴿, in the second verse.

This is very strange! None of the noble Salaf—at the head of them, the companions of Muḥammad ﷺ—said it.

Do you have a better understanding of the meanings of the speech of Allāh—the Most High—than the companions of Muḥammad ﷺ; those that witnessed the revelation with him, and [that] Allāh guided them to the best meanings and interpretations [i.e., of the Qurʾān]?!

And do you love the prophet ﷺ, his Mawlid, and his biʿthah, more than the noble companions, may Allāh be pleased with them?

So, why didn’t they celebrate his Mawlid, his biʿthah, his night journey, his ascension [to heaven], or his migration? May Allāh’s blessings and peace be upon him and his household.

And why did they not use these great verses and their likes as evidence for what you claim of “the legislation of celebrating Mawlid—if you don’t say it is obligatory”?!

Do you understand the Book of Allāh—the Most High—more than they do?!

Or [do] the companions, may Allāh be pleased with them, the allies of Allāh, hate the noblest Prophet ﷺ—and that is impossible—while the ʿUbaydī Fāṭimid Shīʿahs, the enemies of Allāh that innovated this celebration for you, love him?

Or you love him ﷺ more than all the Companions?

Verily, the people of intellect, who are sincere to themselves and their religion will answer with the truth, follow it, and submit to it. And they will remove from their necks, the rope of blind-following without knowledge, guidance, or an illuminating book.

As for the people of desire, there’s nothing we can do about them.

So, I ask Allāh to guide them, give them sight, and heal them from their misguidance and deception, or that He seizes them with a seizure of the All-Mighty, All-Capable. Āmīn.

And is it from love, adoration, and veneration for the noblest Prophet ﷺ, and good manners with him to symbolise, “peace and blessings upon him” in this your writing with “ṣ (the Arabic letter, Ṣād ص)”! And you didn’t impose just completely writing “may peace and blessings be upon him” upon yourself, out of being mannered with him—may the blessings and peace of Allāh be upon him, his household and his companions altogether—as the Imāms of Ḥadīth and Sunnah cautioned on that, those that were proud of following the Book and the Sunnah, and were never proud of the innovation of celebrating his ﷺ mawlid.

So, this your love, rather, your factual ignorance has become apparent from what you write, allege, and claim!

And for you is an immense portion of the statement of Allāh, the Most High, in Sūrah Muḥammad ﷺ:

﴾Had We willed, We could have shown them to you, and you should have known them by their marks; but surely, you will know them by the tone of their speech! And Allāh knows [all] your deeds.﴿ [Muḥammad: 30]

O Allāh, whoever from this ummah is upon other than the truth, while he thinks he is upon the truth, return him to the truth so that he will be from the people upon the truth… Āmīn Āmīn.

And all praise is due to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds.

And Allāh, the Most High, knows best.

Written by:
[Shaykh] Abū Isḥāq Al-Hilālī Al-Marzūqī
May Allāh pardon him, by His Favour, Bounty and Generosity.

Islam › Warning Against Tourism And Excursion To Sites Of Shirk by Orthodoxy(op): 10:55am On Aug 26, 2024

Warning Against Tourism and Excursion to Sites of Shirk
August 21, 2024 in Articles, Creed, Da'wah, What's New Reading Time: 6 mins read

One of the ways by which Shaytan deceives some Muslims into associating partners with Allah is by tourism and respecting cultural sites.

It should be known that many cultural and tourist sites in Yoruba land are places of Shirk; places where the idol worshippers call upon false gods. Venerating those places in your heart is a Shirk in itself.

When the Prophet ﷺ returned to Makkah and became the authority, the first project he executed was the demolishing of all the idols that Quraysh worshipped besides Allah.

But people call themselves Muslims today, and they still believe in visiting Olumo Rock and Osun River as part of celebrating ‘Eid al-Adha. Allahu Akbar!

Where is our hatred for things that are worshipped besides Allah?! Do we not know that these Shirk sites are the most evil places on the earth?!

What if Allah wants to destroy the Mushrikūn and He destroys you among them?! Taking these rocks and rivers to be sacred is Shirk, stay away from it!

You can not be a Muslim until you have Imān bi Allah and Kufr bi Taghut (belief in Allah and disbelief in Idols).

The disbelief in idol entails that you hate Shirk and its people. And when you do not have this, you are not a Muslim yet.

فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

“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.” [Baqarah: 256]

It’s part of Jaahiliyyah to take honour in the Shirk of the forefathers. Islam has liberated us from the darkness of worshipping stones and rivers. Islam has taught us that stones and rivers are non-living things, they can not benefit us with anything, and they can not harm us with anything.

Muslims should not attend excursions to places of Shirk, they must not promote tourism to places of Shirk. They must hate Shirk and places of Shirk. Allaahul Musta’aan.

Allah said:

وَالَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا مَسْجِدًا ضِرَارًا وَكُفْرًا وَتَفْرِيقًا بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِرْصَادًا لِّمَنْ حَارَبَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ مِن قَبْلُ وَلَيَحْلِفُنَّ إِنْ أَرَدْنَا إِلَّا الْحُسْنَى وَاللَّهُ يَشْهَدُ إِنَّهُمْ لَكَذِبُونَ

"And as for those who put up a mosque by way of harming and disbelief, and to disunite the believers, and as an outpost for those who warned against Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad) aforetime, they will indeed swear that their intention".

لَا تَقُمْ فِيهِ أَبَدًا لَمَسْجِدٌ أَسْسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى مِنْ أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ أحَقُّ أَن تَقُومَ فِيهِ فِيهِ رِجَالٌ يُحِبُّونَ أَن يَتَطَهَّرُوا وَاللَّهُ يُحِبُّ الْمُطَهِّرِينَ

"Never stand you therein. Verily, the mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety is more worthy that you stand therein (to pray). In it are men who love to clean and to purify themselves. And Allah loves those who make themselves clean and pure (i.e. who clean their private parts with dust [i.e. to be considered as soap) and water from urine and stools, after answering the call of nature".

Look carefully at the two verses, Allah was talking about a mosque, and he warned the Prophet ﷺ never to stay or stand at that mosque because the mosque is based on Kufr (disblief).

If Allah warned the Prophet ﷺ not to stay in a mosque (which is supposed to be a place to worship) because it was built upon kufr, what do you say about a place that was basically built for associating partners with Allah?

That is from the Qur’an. Also from the Sunnah, it was authentically narrated in Sunan Abi Dawud 3313 that a man had vowed to slaughter a camel for Allah at a place called Buwanah, then he came to ask the Prophet ﷺ about it, then the Prophet ﷺ said:

هَلْ كَانَ فِيهَا وَتَنْ مِنْ أَوْثَانِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يُعْبَدُ

“Is there any idol from the idols of jahiliyyah being worshipped there?” The man said, “No”. Then the Prophet ﷺ said:

هَلْ كَانَ فِيهَا عِيدُ مِنْ أَعْيَادِهِمْ

“Is that place a place of their festival”, the man said: “No”.

Then the Prophet ﷺ told him to fulfill his vow. The scholars of Islam explained that had it been that the man answered affirmatively to any of these questions, the Prophet ﷺ would have forbade him from slaughtering the animal there.

Shaykh ‘Abdurrahman bn Hasan bn Muhammad bn Abdilwahab commented on that Hadith that: “It contains leaving off imitating the Kuffar.”

Because if the Kuffar would slaughter their animals there or have festivals there, a Muslim who goes there to slaughter his own animal for Allah would resemble them, and he has added to the number of the disbelievers.

A person said, “Visiting does not mean believing in their beliefs. These things are manifestations of the greatness of Allāh as well as His signs. Osun river does not mix (two bodies of water), yoruba people decided to cook up stories regarding this, I don’t believe in this story and this does not stop me from going there to ponder over this signs. Same as olumo rock, you get to see large rocks sitting on smaller ones, they are all parts of the signs of Allāh. Moreover, siting these places is not to honour these beliefs but to see the wonders of Allāh.”

This is strange because both Osun Oşogbo and Olumo rock are where Mushrikūn from different parts of the world worship the stones and the tree, how will a Muslim add to the number of those associating partners with Allah with the evidence that the trees and stones are signs of Allah? Where is your dissociation from the people of shirk? Where is your hatred for the places of Shirk and your dislike of being seen therein?

And as for the claim that “stones and rivers that have been taken as partners can not be demolished because they are innocent of the worship”, the refutation is as follows:

What the person claimed is that idols that can be demolished are the ones built by people, as for the “Allah’s creations”, they should be left.

Firstly, whether the idols are carved with hands or just a tree, river or stone that is worshipped, all of them were created by Allah. All of them are creations of Allah.

Secondly, the illusion that the person wanted to create was that the prophet only demolished the Idols and didn’t touch trees and stones. This is indeed not correct.

Al-Lat that the kuffar would worship was a stone, while Al-‘Uzza was a tree. When Islam entered into Makkah, the prophet commanded the Sahabah to demolish these places. Al-Mughīrah bn Shu’bah and Abu Sufyan demolished Al-Lat while Khalid bn Walid cut the trees of Al-‘Uzza.

By what the Prophet ﷺ commanded his companions to do, we see clearly that trees and stones should be destroyed if they are be taken as gods by the disbelievers.

Also, Umar رضي الله عنه ordered that the tree of Bay’ah Arridwān should be cut off when he realized that people would intend that place to observe Salah. If this tree can be cut down because who of people who intend to observe Salah to Allah under it, what about the trees that are taken as partners with Allah?! This is a refutation of the one who said, “Why should I hate the mountains and rock and rivers because some people decided to worship them?”

Lastly, we should stop talking regarding the deen of Allah without knowledge. We should know the danger of Shirk and stay away from it. If anyone dies upon Shirk, Allah will not forgive him and he will be in Jahannam forever.

Everyone should learn Tawheed thoroughly. Tawheed is not what you just learn in 10 minutes. You need to study books of Tawheed like Thalathatul Usül, Al-Qawa’id al-‘Arba, Kitāb at-Tawhid etc. Bārakallahu feekum.

Islam › The Thigh Is ‘awrah: So A Man Should Keep It Covered And Not Wear Shorts That .. by Orthodoxy(op): 10:41am On Aug 09, 2024

The thigh is ‘Awrah: So a man should keep it covered and not wear shorts that expose his thighs.
https://abukhadeejah.com/the-thigh-is-awrah-man-should-not-wear-shorts-that-expose-his-thighs/

Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Wahid
24 July 2024

Do not follow the fashions of the non-Muslims and sinners:
Imām At-Tirmidhī stated: Chapter: What has been narrated about the thigh being ‘Awrah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by Jarhad in the Masjid and his thigh was exposed, so he said: “Indeed the thigh is ‘Awrah.” (no. 2795, graded saheeh by Al-Albānī)

At-Tirmindhi also said: Chapter: What has been narrated about covering the ‘Awrah:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Cover your ‘Awrah except from your wife or your bondswoman.” Someone asked the Messenger (ﷺ): “O Prophet of Allah, what if one of us is alone?” He replied: “Allah has more right that you are shy in front of Him than the people.” (no. 2794, graded hasan by Al-Albānī)

Islam › Re: Political Demonstrations & Protests By Sheikh Ṣāliḥ Al-fawzān by Orthodoxy: 11:45pm On Aug 02, 2024

AbuTwins:
Question: Is staging political demonstrations a legitimate way to correct and resolve the problems of the Islamic nation?

Answer: Our religion is not one of chaos and anarchy. Our religion is one of discipline and order, calmness and serenity. Staging political demonstrations was never originally from the actions of Muslims as they never knew of such things before. Islam is a religion of calmness and mercy and discipline. Chaos, disorganization, and the inciting of tribulations are not from Islam. This is Islam, and the rights of all people are fulfilled and earned by seeking them in the manner Islam has legislated. Demonstrations mostly result in bloodshed and the destruction of property and wealth. Such things are not permissible.2

1. This Fatwá was taken from a book called “al-Fatāwá al-Shar’iyyah fī al-Qadhāyā al-‘Asriyyah,” a collection of various rulings by Muḥammad Ibn Fahd al-Ḥuṣayn.

2. Taken from the cassette: Fatāwá al-‘Ulamā’ fī Ḥukm al-Tafjīrāt wa al-Muẓāharāt wa al-Ightiyālāt.

But why would you attach image containing an unproperly covered woman and the image is even centered on her, this is wrong brother and I advise that you remove it. May Allah guide us.
