The meaning of ﷺ (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam)

ﷺ (Sallallaahu ‘Alayhi wa Sallam): The salaah and salaam of Allaah be upon His Prophet Muhammad. 

The salaah of Allah upon Prophet Muhammad is His Praise of the Prophet before the angels who are close to (but below) Allaah, the Most High, who istawaa (ascended) upon His ‘arsh (Throne), which is above the seven heavens, in a manner that suits His Majesty. The angels also praise the Prophet (ﷺ). The salaam is Allaah’s safeguarding of the Prophet (ﷺ) from deficiencies and any kind of evil, and the protection of the Message with which he was entrusted. When the Muslim says ﷺ (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), he invokes Allaah to grant His Praise and Security to the Prophet Muhammad and the protection of the Message of Islaam which was revealed to him (ﷺ).

Upon the Authority Of Abu Dharr – Radhiyallahu Anhu who said:

 I asked the Messenger of Allah – Sallallahu alaihi wa Salam:

“What will save a servant (of Allah) from the Fire?”

 He said:

“Imaan (Faith) in Allah”

 I said: “Oh Prophet of Allah” With Imaan there is action?

 He said: “That one gives (even if it is little) from that which Allah has bestowed upon you and that you give (even if it is little) from that which Allah has provided you”

I said: “Oh Prophet of Allah! what if he is poor and finds nothing to give?

He said: “He enjoins the good and forbids the evil”

 I said: “What if he is not able to enjoin the good and forbid the evil?”

 He said: “Then he gives aid to the one who has no skill (or trade by way of which he receives earnings)”

 I said: ” Oh Messenger of Allah! What if he (himself) has no trade?

He said: “He aids someone oppressed”

 I said: “Oh prophet of Allah! What if he is weak and unable to aid one oppressed?”

He said: “If you do not not wish to leave any good with your brother then one should avoid harming the people”

 I said: “Oh Messenger of Allah! If he does this will he be entered into Jannah?

He said: “There is no Believer who seeks to perform one of these affairs except that it will take him by the hand and enter him into Jannah”

People are Recognised by the truth | From the Principles of the Salafi Manhaj

 

Part 2

People are Recognised by the truth

From the Principles of the Salafi Manhaj

Translated by Abbas Abu Yahya

“People are recognised by the truth but the truth is not recognised through the people “

(الرجال يُعرفون بالحقّ ولا يُعرف الحقّ بالرجال)

Shaykh Ubayd Al-Jabri said: ‘The meaning of this principle is that a person is described and characterised as adhering to the Sunnah and that he is from the people of Sunnah and upon the truth, not stained with any stain of Bid’ah or Superstitions.

The sign which shows us this is what he followed of the truth in his statements and actions. This is the first part of this principle.

‘The truth is not recognised through the people’, means, it is not simply a person’s behaviour regarding just one statement or one action that indicates he is correct. Rather, judgement upon statements and actions according to the Salafis is with two scales :

A text of the Book and the Sunnah or a consensus of the Salaf.’

Sitting With The People Of Innovation Publicly In Front Of The People | Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān

The Questioner: May Allāh  reward you. The questioner says what is the ruling regarding sitting with the people of innovation publicly in front of the people from the likes of al-Ḥabīb ʿAlī al-Jifrī since I am well-known caller to Islām and it would be done for the purpose of calling to Allāh?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān: “Do not sit with the people of innovation publicly in front of the people or privately by yourself where there is only yourself and him. Stay away from the people of religious innovation and do not mix with them and sit with them and boycott them until they repent  from their religious innovation.Yes.”

Wise words from your brother are priceless…

“Wise words from your brother are better for you than wealth he gives you, for indeed wealth causes you to become excessive; but the words will guide you (to that which is good).”

The Best of This Ummah Are Those With The Most Women - Polygyny In Islam | by Abu al-Hasan Malik Adam al-Akhdar

The place of al-niyyah is the heart

 

Shaykh al-‘Uthaymīn (d. 1421AH):

The place of al-niyyah is the heart, and it has no place upon the tongue in all acts of worship. Hence, the one who verbally utters the niyyah when he intends to pray, observe the fast, perform the Ḥajj, the ablution, or other deeds, is deemed an innovator, and he is declaring in the religion of Allāh that which is not from it.

‘O Seeker of Evil, Refrain!’ – Shaykh Sālih Al-Fawzān حَفِظَهُ الله

PD on May 5, 20220

‘O SEEKER OF EVIL, REFRAIN!’

O you wants to misguide the people, entice and corrupt the people. O you wants to busy the people with (false) amusement, and musical entertainment and instruments. O you wants to busy the people with plays and performances, and false stories and speech. O you wants to busy the people with jokes and buffoonery and distractions. Refrain! Refrain! Be at loss! Begone! Enemy of Allāh! For  you are ruined! You are unjust! And you are ousted! So upon you is to know your limit! Do not busy and distract the Muslims. ‘O seeker of evil, refrain!’Refrain from evil! For if you don’t refrain then you shall be refrained (from) by the command of Allāh, Glorified be He, the Most-High. And you will be at loss and in ruin on the Day that regret does not benefit.

Upon the authority of Abu Hurairah – Radhiyallahu anhu – who said:

“We were walking with the Messenger of Allah – Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Was Salam – in a garden in Madina when he  said: “Oh Abaa Hurairah” so i responded “I am here at your service Oh Messenger of Allah! so he said: “Indeed those who indulge much (in the life of this world) they will have the least (on the day of Judgement) except one that who does like this and this with his wealth” and he gestured with his hand to the left and the right (i.e that he gives his wealth to the left and to the right) “and they indeed are few” then he said: “Oh Abaa Hurairah Should i not indicate to you a treasure from the treasures of Jannah?” so i said: “Certainly Oh Messenger of Allah!” he said:”You should say: “Laa Haula Wa Laa Quwwata ilaa Billah wa Laa Malja’a wa laa manjaa illaa ilaihi” (There is no ability to turn from disobedience nor power to carry out acts of obedience except with Allah. And there is no one protection from evil is sought from, nor one that grants salvation except Him.). Then he said “Oh Abaa Hurairah! Do you know what the right of Allah upon his servants is and his servants right upon Allah?” So i said: “Allah and his Messenger know best” He said: “The right of Allah upon his servant is that they worship him and do not ascribe partners with him, and the servants right upon Allah is that he will not punish one who does not acsribe partners with him”

Greetings of the Companions [a little known Sunnah] || SayingsoftheSalaf

 Greetings of the Companions [a little known Sunnah]

 Al-Sha’bī reports, “When the Companions of Muhammad – Allāh’s peace and blessings be upon him – used to meet, they would shake hands; and when returning from travels, they would hug one another.”

Shaykh Al-Albānī states in Al-Sahīhah Vol. 1 p300, “[This is] recorded by Al-Bayhaqī Vol. 7 p100 with a sahīh chain of transmission from Al-Sha’bī.”

Abū Madīnah Al-Dārimī – Allāh be pleased with him – reports, “When two of the Companions of Allāh’s Messenger – Allāh’s peace and blessings be upon him – would meet, they would not part until one would recite to the other “By time, verily man is in loss…” (Sūrah Al-‘Asr). Then, one of them would say salām to the other.”

Recorded by Al-Tabarānī in Al-Awsat, and others. Shaykh Al-Albānī graded its chain of transmission sahīh. See Al-Sahīhah, hadīth 2648.

Shaykh Al-Albānī states, “There are two points of benefit in this narration about the practice of our Salaf – Allāh be pleased with them all. The first is that they used to say salām when parting, which has been explicitly mentioned in some statements of the Prophet…The other, we learn from the regular practice of the Companions, is reciting Sūrah Al-‘Asr [when parting], for we believe that they were the farthest of people from introducing into the religion a worship by which they sought to bring themselves closer to Allāh, except with some sanction from Allāh’s Messenger – peace and blessings be upon him, either through a statement from him, or an action of his, or by his tacit approval…”

So be patient, O people of the Sunnah, may Allāh have mercy on you, for you are indeed the minority.

The great Imām al-Barbahārī  (died 329H, rahimahullaah) stated the position and consensus of the Muslims towards their rulers: “If you find a man making supplication against the ruler, know that he is a person of innovation (deviation). If you find a person making supplication for the ruler to be upright, know that he is a person of the Sunnah, if Allāh wills. We are ordered to make supplication for them (i.e. the rulers) to be upright. We have not been ordered to make supplication against them, even if they commit tyranny and oppression, since their tyranny and oppression reflect only upon themselves but their rectitude is good for themselves and the Muslims.” [29]
