KSA 'Does Not Fund or Support ISIS Murderers'

Ignorant journalists are a dime a dozen these days where telling lies (whether in ignorance or deliberately) in the course of writing about national security, geopolitics, extremism andterrorism has become an easy art to develop. The offspring of Shaykh Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab, such as Abd al-Lateef bin Abd al-Rahmaan bin Hasan refuted and stood up against the Kharijite movements which appeared during their time from amongst the Persians or Arab tribes and made clear their departure from the foundations of Islam and its Shariah, exposed their ignorance and exonerated Shaykh Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhaab from these matters. More information on this to follow inshaa'Allaah. In the 20th century, the writings of Sufi, Ash'ari, Maturidi thinkers such as Sayyid Qutb, Abu A'la Mawdudi andTaqi al-Din al-Nabahani gave rise to the extremist ideology of the Kharijite terrorists and this influence spread to other Muslim lands. Again, this has been oppressively ascribed to Ibn Abd al-Wahhaab and also Ibn Taymiyyah. There are many cheap "Walmart" journalists out there who believe its not necessary to read credible, unbiased and factual academic publications first so as to avoid spouting lies and misinforming millions.

The Fitrah of Children: Signs and Proofs

The prophet (Saws) said that every child is born on the Fitra (Buchari and Muslim). Interesting questions are if we can see signs of the Fitrah in Children and what these signs are. This article aims to answer these questions.

Did Mawdoodee Retract From His View About Dajjaal After 30 Mutawaatir Ahadeeth Were Presented To Him?

In Tarjumaan-ul-Quraan (Another book of Maudoodee) some individual has questioned that " It is well known regarding Dajjaal that he is imprisoned somewhere" then what kind of place is it (where he is hidden)? Today every nook and corner of the world has been captured by the humankind. Then why is not been possible to locate Dajjal? In reply to this question you answered (In the book Tarjuman-ul-Quraan) that Dajjaal, etc. are myths and fairy tales for which there is no status in the Shar'eeah. But as far as I know there are atleast 30 narrations (of hadeeth) that address the issue of Dajjaal. These (Ahaadeeth) can be testified (to be Saheeh) through Bukaaree, Muslim, Aboo Daawood, Thirmidhee, Sharh Sunnah, Baihaqee. Then what is the ISNAAD upon which you have based your response?...Read how Mawdoodee went on to make Ta'weel and regarded Dajjaal to be just a Fitnah. Secondly, he shamelessly went on to make baseless allegations upon the Messenger of Allaah Sallallahu alaihi wa sallam.

Encouraging What is Right: Lessons From Sooratul 'Asr - Shaikh 'Abdul Azeez Bin Baaz (Translator: Abu Khaliyl Jadd Sylvester)

The believing men and the believing women are friends of each other, commanding good and forbidding evil, establishing the prayer and giving the zakaah, obeying Allaah and His Messenger. These it is whom Allaah will have mercy on. Indeed, Allaah is Mighty, Wise." (At-Tawbah 71)

A Glimpse into the Khawaarij By Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan

In our time, perhaps the one who believes that we must hear and obey the leaders in matters that are not sinful, are labeled as government agents or kiss-ups or gullible simpletons! So you will see them attacking the leaders and exposing their faults to the public from the mimbars and in their gatherings. And Allaah’s Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "Whoever desires to advise the sultaan (authority) about a matter, then he must not expose it in public, but rather he should take him by his hand and go in privacy with him. So if he accepts (the advice) then that is (reward) for him, and if he doesn’t (accept) then he has conveyed what will be held against him." Reported by Ahmad (3/404) from the narration of ‘Iyyaad bin Ghanam (radyAllaahu ‘anhu) Ibn Abee ‘Aasim also reported it in his book As-Sunnah (2/522)...

Are The Sayings of the Salaf a Hujah? By Shaykh Muqbil ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee

...So if there wasn’t any benefit [in the Athaar of the Salaf] the ‘Ulemaa’ would not have authored books on Athaar nor would they have included them in their books; [‘ulemaa’] such as Ibn Jareer in his Tafseer, Ibn abee Shaybah in his Musanaf, ‘AbduRazzaq in his Musanaf, Al Bayhaqee in his Sunnan and a lot of other books, in the Sunnan and other than them. They mentioned the sayings of the Salaf in them, so it should not be said that they [Athaar] do not have any significance/value. Rather we benefit from their understanding and it is imperative that we understand the book on Allaah and the Sunnah of his Messenger- ØµÙ„Ù‰ Ø§Ù„Ù„Ù‡ Ø¹Ù„ÙŠÙ‡ ÙˆØ³Ù„Ù…- based upon their understanding...

The Saying of Ramadan Mubarak or 'Eed Mubaarak

...Thus it is similar to the phrase "Ramdhaan Mubaarak" or 'Eed Mubaarak" or the likes, those statements which have no negative meaning within themselves and are considered from the normal speech of the people...So the statement of Shaykh Saalih Al-Fawzaan and others from the scholars, that there is no harm in it, then this must be understood in the right context: There is no harm in someone saying this phrase to greet his brother on the 'Eed. However, as for a person claiming that it is "Sunnah" meaning the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam), which is the first meaning people understand when they hear that something is Sunnah, then this is making something part of the Deen and it requires evidence, and the Shaykh was not speaking about this when he said, "laa ba's"...

Sadaqatul-Fitr Explained in Detail

The significant role played by Zakaah in the circulation of wealth within the Islamic society is also played by the Sadaqah al-Fitr. However, in the case of Sadaqah al-Fitr, each individual is required to calculate how much charity is due from himself and his dependents and go into the community in order to find those who deserve such charity. Thus, Sadaqah al-Fitr plays a very important role in the development of the bonds of community. The rich are obliged to come in direct contact with the poor, and the poor are put in contact with the extremely poor. This contact between the various levels of society helps to build real bonds of brotherhood and love within the Islamic community and trains those who have, to be generous to those who do not have...

A Reply to Those Who Deny Punishment in the Grave By Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen

A man questioned Imaam ash-Shaafi’ee concerning a matter. He responded, ‘‘The Messenger of Allaah decreed such and such.’’ The questioner said to ash-Shaafi’ee, ‘What do you say?’ He said, ‘Praise be to Allaah, do you see me attending the church? Do you see the belt of the Christians around my waist? I say to you: The Messenger of Allaah decreed such and such and you respond: what do you say?’’ Ash-Shaafi’ee rahimahullaah mentioned: ‘‘When I narrate an authentic tradition from the messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) and do not accept it, I would have testified to you that my intelligence has disappeared.’’ Hence, he did not differentiate between the khabarul-waahid and the khabarul-mutawaatir. Further more, he did not distinguish between narrations concerning to ’aqeedah and those pertaining to a matter of action. Indeed the determining factor was founded upon the authenticity of the tradition.

Maududi is the Imaam of Bid'ah By Shaikh Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi'ee

Is Abul-A'alaa al-Mawdoodee considered to be from the Imaams of the Muslims? ...What is clear is that Mawdoodee has some tashayyu' (Shiitism/Shiaism) in him and that he is to be considered as being from the Imaams of Innovation. May Allaah reward one of our brothers with good – for he has authored a book called: "Hurricanes in the Face of the Sunnah" (Zawaabi' fee Wajhis-Sunnah). In this book, he clarifies and exposes the true condition of Abul-A'alaa Al-Mawdoodee and those like him who wage war against the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and who weaken authentic ahaadeeth in the two Saheeh Collections (of Bukhaaree and Muslim) to suit their desires.
