Be mindful of your duty to your Mother

Hiba~as-Salafiyyah's avatarThis Knowledge Is a Matter of Deen الدعوة السلفية

Upon the authority of Ataa Ibn Yasaar who narrates from Ibn Abaas – Radhiyallahu ‘anhumaa – that a man approached him and said: “Indeed I proposed to a woman but she refused to marry me, then someone else proposed to her and she desired to marry him, so i became jealous and I killed her. Is there any taubah (repentance) for me? He (Ibn Abaas) said to him:”Is your mother alive? the man said ‘No’ so he said “Make taubah to Allah Azza wa Jall and draw near to him as much as you are able (So the narrator said) so i went and asked Ibn ‘Abaas “Why did you ask him if his mother was alive?” so he responded “Because indeed I do not know of an action that draws one closer to Allah than being dutiful to one’s Mother” |

I am a Sunni and I am not a Salafi.’ Shaykh Dr. Salih as-Suhaymee

Hiba~as-Salafiyyah's avatarThis Knowledge Is a Matter of Deen الدعوة السلفية

By Shaykh Dr. Salih as-Suhaymee

Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

The question: When this person begins Ruqiyah (reciting Qur’aan upon a person as a form of treatment)  he says: ‘I am a Sunni and I am not a Salafi.’

The Shaykh Answered:

‘As for the saying: ‘I am a Sunni and I am not a Salafi.’ Then this statement is contradictory!

The Sunni O you Miskeen (impoverished person) is the Salafi, and the Salafi is the Sunni. Whoever distinguishes between the two then he has distinguished between two things which resemble each other; so the Salaf are the Ahl-ul-Sunnah and the Salafeeyoon are the followers of the Sunnah, and whoever absolves himself from that then he is not a Sunni nor a Salafi!

Just because some of the people claim Salafeeyah and they do not actually exemplify it, then this does not allow you to free yourself from Salafeeyah, rather it…

Importance of Marrying a Righteous Person ~ Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-’Uthaymeen

Hiba~as-Salafiyyah's avatarThis Knowledge Is a Matter of Deen الدعوة السلفية

Taken from: Majmoo’ah As’ilah Tuhim Al-Usrah Al-Muslimah” 95-96

English Translation taken from the book: The Structure of the Muslim Family (Appendix 6)

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Al-’Uthaymeen said:

“My counsel to the men who desire to get married is to select the type of woman that the Messenger advised to marry when he sallalahu ‘alayhe wasallam said:

‘Marry the fertile, affectionate women.’ And he sallalahu ‘alayhe wasallam said:

‘A woman is married for four reasons: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty, and for her religion. So marry the one who is good in her religion.’

Also, the woman should choose to marry someone who is religious and has a good character due to the saying of the Prophet sallalahu ‘alayhe wasallam:

‘If someone comes to you seeking marriage and you are happy with their religion and character, then marry him.’

Question: Is it permissible to kill a rat with a sticky substance so to leave it until it dies?

Question: Is it permissible to kill a rat with a sticky substance so to leave it until it dies?

Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy upon him) said,

“If you want to kill a rat, and killing it is desirable, then do well in the method of killing. Kill it by that which the soul passes immediately, and do not harm it. And from harming it is what some people do whereas they place something sticky for it (a rat), so it will get stuck on it then leave it (a rat) to die of hunger and thirst, and this is NOT PERMISSIBLE. So if you placed this sticky substance, then it is a must that inspection and observation are repeated, so if you find anything stuck on it, then you kill it.
As for leaving this sticky material two days or three and a rat falls in it and dies of thirst and hunger, then it is feared upon you that you will enter the Hell-fire for that because the Prophet (praise and peace be upon him) said, “A woman entered the
Hell-Fire because of a cat which she had imprisoned until it died, she didn’t feed it nor did she set it free to eat from the vermin of the earth.”

* Origin of the Shaikh’s speech: Explanation of Riyaadu-Saaliheen (4/ 596)

And for Allah that is not hard or difficult (i.e. very easy for Allah).

Surah Ibrahim, Verse 19:
أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِالْحَقِّ إِن يَشَأْ يُذْهِبْكُمْ وَيَأْتِ بِخَلْقٍ جَدِيدٍ

Do you not see that Allah has created the heavens and the earth with truth? If He will, He can remove you and bring (in your place) a new creation!

Surah Ibrahim, Verse 20:
وَمَا ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِعَزِيزٍ

And for Allah that is not hard or difficult (i.e. very easy for Allah).

(English – Mohsin Khan)

Surah Al-Isra, Verse 36-38

Surah Al-Isra, Verse 36:
وَلَا تَقْفُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا

And follow not (O man i.e., say not, or do not or witness not, etc.) that of which you have no knowledge (e.g. one’s saying: “I have seen,” while in fact he has not seen, or “I have heard,” while he has not heard). Verily! The hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allah).

Surah Al-Isra, Verse 37:
وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا إِنَّكَ لَن تَخْرِقَ الْأَرْضَ وَلَن تَبْلُغَ الْجِبَالَ طُولًا

And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth, nor can you attain a stature like the mountains in height.

Surah Al-Isra, Verse 38:
كُلُّ ذَٰلِكَ كَانَ سَيِّئُهُ عِندَ رَبِّكَ مَكْرُوهًا

All the bad aspects of these (the above mentioned things) are hateful to your Lord.

(English – Mohsin Khan)

Excerpts From The Advice Of Shaykh Muhammad Bin Abdulwahaab Al-Aqeel For The Students Of Knowledge

ذا تكلم طالب العلم فيما لا يحسنه , أو ترك الأخذ عن المشايخ وتكبر عليهم , وتكلم بقضايا تجتمع هيئة كبار العلماء من أجل البث فيها , يتكلم بها هكذا من أم رأسه دون تروٍّ ولا أناة ولا حلم , ودون نقل عن العلماء المتقدمين والمتأخرين , هذا هو التعالم نعود بالله من ذلك .

If the student of knowledge begins to speak about matters of which he excels not in, or abandons taking knowledge from the mashaayikh (the scholars), and becomes arrogant in turning to them, and speaks about affairs which the committee of the major scholars would (probably) come together upon to propagate a ruling for. (And) while he just speaks about it like that, from his head without any form of consideration or patience or forbearance, he doesn’t quote any past or later scholars, then this is pretending to have knowledge, while we seek refuge with Allah from that.

فينبغي لطالب العلم أن يعرف قدر نفسه ويتق الله عز وجل …كذلك الأدب في الألفاظ عندما يقول : قال شيخ الإسلام , وقال ابن القيم , وقال الشيخ فلان .. فلا ينبغي أن يقول عنده : قلت , أو الذي أرجحه , أو الذي أراه , أو هذا عندي , كما قيل :

So, it is appropriate that the student of knowledge knows his level and fears Allah. Likewise, he should possess manners in his wordings, when he says Shaykhul Islam said and Ibnul Qayyim said and Shaykh so-and-so said. It is not appropriate for him to then say ‘I hold’ or that ‘which I consider a stronger opinion’ or that ‘which I see’ or this is ‘my view’, as been said (by a poet):

يقولون هذا عندنا غير جائز *** فمن أنتم حتى يكون لكم عندُ

‘They say our view is ‘this is not permissible’ *** So who are you to have a view’

نسأل الله عز وجل أن يصلح قلوبنا وأن يرزقنا التواضع لله وممن نتعلم منه .

We ask Allah azza wajall to recifty our hearts and that He grants us humbleness for Him and for those who we are learning knowledge from

“I am a disbeliever in Salafiyyah.” | Shaykh Abdulmuhsin al-Abbad

Question: What is your opinion, Oh virtuous Shaikh, about the one who says: that he is a disbeliever in Salafiyyah?

Answer: “This is ignorance and trespassing the truth. If he intends that using this term is not necessary and that it is not necessary for a person to say: I am Salafi, then the affair is easy. If he intends by it that he is a disbeliever in the methodology of the Salaf, their path and the truth which they were upon, then this disbelief in the Book and Sunnah and what the Salaf of this nation were upon”.

“..Know that there is not in the clear intellect nor anything in the sound texts, that which requires opposing the path of Salafiyyah at all…”

It is not permissible to hide sincere advice from any of the Muslims, whether pious or impious, in matters of the Religion. Whoever hides that has acted deceitfully towards the Muslims. Whoever acts deceitfully to the Muslims has done so towards the Religion. Whoever acts deceitfully towards the Religion has behaved treacherously towards Allah, His Messenger and the Believers.×

× Footnote: Tameem ad-Daaree narrates: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The religion is sincerity.” Upon this we asked, ‘To whom?’ He replied, “To Allah, His book, His Messenger and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common folk.”
