Allāh’s Messenger said:
“From that which I fear for you the most after me is your
stomachs (i.e. eating what is hāram), your private parts
(i.e. fornication) and the misguided desires (i.e. innovation and deviation).”
(Ahmad 19787, see Sahīhut-Targhīb wat-Tarhīb of Al-Albānī)
Translated by Abu Khadeejah SP
Al-Allaamah
Zaid Ibn Muhammad Al-Madkhali ( May Allah have mercy on him ) said :
“And
beware! Beware of falling into innovation and mixing [with] its people, and
beware of listening to their deceptive [statements] and arguments because it is
a disease. Indeed safety- absolute safety- is found in clinging to the Quran
and Sunnah based on the correct understanding- the [understanding] of the
Salafus Saaleh [the righteous predecessors], which cannot be attained except by
way of ernest effort and striving in seeking understanding of the religion, with
the righteous intention, wisdom [in the manner of] attaining and conveying
[it].”

العامي يعلَّم
العقيدة ويحذَّر من أهل البدع، العوام الآن.
أكثرهم أصبحوا جنداً
لأهل البدع فلابد من تحذيرهم.

‘The common folk should be taught ‘Aqeedah (creed) and warned
against the people of innovation. These days, most common folk have become
recruits for the people of innovation, so they must be warned.’

Biography of Ash-Shaykh
Al-Allāmah Rabī’ Ibn Hādī Al-Madkhalī and the Praise of the Scholars for him:
.....
Shaikh Abdullāh al-Ahmarī said: I asked our Shaikh Ibn Bāz
(rahimahullāh) over fourteen years ago, “O our Shaikh! Shaikh Rabī’
criticises so-and-so and so-and-so and he criticises the callers.” So
Shaikh Ibn Bāz responded:
“Fear Allāh! The man is
an Imām in the Sunnah!” [1]
[1] See An-Naqulāt
as-Salafiyyah fir-Radd ‘alat-Tā’ifatil-Haddādiyyah, (51).
.....
Then Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimīn
was asked: “There is a question concerning the books of Shaikh Rabī’? (i.e what
is your opinion concerning them?)” So the Shaikh (rahimahullāh) responded:
“It is apparently clear
that this question is not in need of my answer. And just as Imām Ahmad
was asked about Ishāq bin Rāhooyah (died 238AH) and he replied, ‘Someone like
me is asked about Ishāq?! Rather, Ishāq is to be asked about me.’ And
I spoke at the beginning of my speech about that which I know about Shaikh
Rabī’, may Allāh grant him success, and what I mentioned has never ceased to be
what I hold about him in my soul, up until this time. And his arrival here and
his words that have reached me, then no doubt, they are such that they will
increase a person in his love for him and in his supplication for him.” [4]

The ease of a
Believer is due to the ease he provides his brother and he wishes for his
brother what wishes for himself. This will come about if his heart is free from
any ills.

A SUPPLICATION WHICH ALLAAH ANSWERS
From Buraydah-radiyAllaahu ‘anhu- that Allaah’s Messenger ﷺ heard a man saying:
اللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ
أَنْتَ اللهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إلاَّ
أَنْتَ، الأحَدُ الصَّمَدُ، الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَلدْ
وَلَممْ يُوْلَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ
لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
Meaning: “O Allaah: I ask you by the fact that I bear witness that You are
Allaah, none has the right to be worshipped except You: The Unique One, the perfect Lord and Master upon Whom all the creation depends.
The One Who has no parent and no child, and
there is none like Him.”
So he said: < You have
asked Allaah by the name which is such
that if He is asked by it He gives, and if He is supplicated to by it He
responds.>1

On the authority of ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar who said, the Messenger صلى

with some (other) speech before the salām then do not respond to him.”

Rectify What
Is Between You And Allāh.
Scholars
used to offer admonitions and write to one another regarding three things: “Whoever
rectifies himself internally, Allāh will make him upright externally as well.
And whoever rectifies whatever is between himself and Allāh, then Allāh will
rectify whatever is between him and the people. And whoever rectifies the
matter of his hereafter, then Allāh will rectify his worldly life.”

Shaykh ‘Allāmah ‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Aqīl (رحمه الله) about Shaykh ‘Allāmah Rabī' al-Madkhalī
“I and a group of our Shaykh’s students (may Allāh
protect him) were in his large library reading Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim to him in the
year 1428 AH (2007). Then ‘Allāmah
‘Abdullāh Ibn ‘Aqīl arrived, gave salām to our Shaykh
and said to him: “Extend your head towards me so I may kiss it.” Shaykh Rabī’ then said: “I seek Allāh’s forgiveness! I seek
Allāh’s forgiveness!” Ibn ‘Aqīl (رَحِمَهُ الله) then sat down, and after asking our Shaykh about his health, he said:
“O seekers of knowledge, it is upon you all to learn from Shaykh Rabī’. It is upon you to
learn from this scholar. By Allāh if he was to
leave you (i.e. by passing away), you will surely
bite upon your fingers in regret (i.e. due to failure of benefitting from him).”

Shaykh Saalih
Ibn Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah) stated while mentioning the different
forms of disbelief:
“As for disbelief by way of
doubt, this is uncertainty. Hence, if a Muslim has doubt in his heart:
is that which the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) delivered true or not? Will there truly be a resurrection or
not? Is there really a paradise and hell-fire or not? This individual has
disbelieved due to his uncertainty even if he prays, fasts and does other forms
of good deeds. As long as he is not certain in his faith and he possesses
doubts and uncertainty concerning what was delivered by the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) or he says: It is possible that Islaam is the truth and
it is likewise possible that is not the truth. This type of individual has
apostated from Islaam.”5

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: “I have left amongst you that which, if you were to cling to it, you will never go astray: The Book of Allāh, and my Sunnah.” [Reported by al-Hākim – Saheeh] And he (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: “Hold on to my Sunnah, and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me.” [Sunan Abee Dawood (no. 4607)]
-----
A few excerpt:
... “And if you differ in
anything amongst yourselves, refer it to Allāh and His Messenger, if you
believe in Allāh and in the Last Day.” (4:59)
And the saying of the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه و سلم): “Those of you who live long after me shall witness great differing. So upon you is to follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Caliphs. Hold tightly to it and bite onto it with your molar teeth. And be warned of newly-invented matters in the Religion, as every newly-invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance.” [Sunan Abee Dawood (no. 4607)]
-----
Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) discussed the ‘Rope of Allāh’ and what it means. So he discusses what is meant by this unity and this holding onto the rope of Allāh. He stated, “It has been explained that the ‘Rope of Allāh’ is His Book, and His religion, it is Islām, it is Ikhlās, it is His commandments, it is the covenant of Allāh, it is obedience to Allāh, and it is the Jamā`ah”. Ibn `Abdil Barr (رحمه الله) in At-Tamheed, mentions, “The rope of Allāh is the Jamā`ah of the Sahābah (رضي الله عنهم).” Meaning, hold onto that which the Sahaabah (رضي الله عنهم) held onto.

GRATITUDE IS IN ABANDONING SINS.
Shu’ab Al-Eemaan lil Bayhaqee 4228
Translated by The Salafi Centre of Manchester

Imam Al-Awzai’s Letter of Warning against Heresy and Heretics
It is
reported that Imām Al-Awzā’ ī (d157H) wrote:
O Muslims,
fear Allāh and obey Him, and accept the advice
of the sincere advisers and the exhortation of the exhorters, and know that
this knowledge is religion, so be careful about what you do [in it] and from whom you
take [it] and who you follow and who you trust your religion to. For verily, the followers of
Bid’ah are all falsifiers and liars, neither are they careful nor do they fear and protect
[against wrongdoing], and nor are they to be trusted to not distort what you hear.
They say what they know not when criticizing and decrying or when affirming
their lies. But Allāh encompasses what they do. So be on guard against them, suspect them, reject them and
distance yourselves from them,
for this was what your earlier scholars and the righteous
latter ones did and instructed others to do.
Beware of rising against Allāh
and becoming instruments in the destruction of His religion and undoing its
handholds by respecting the innovators, for you know what
has come down to us about respecting them. And what stronger respect and
veneration can there be than taking your religion from them, following them, believing them, being close to
them and helping them in alluring those they allure and attracting those they
attract of the weak Muslims towards their ideas and the religion they practice?
This is enough to be considered a partnership and contribution to what they do.

Mūsā bin Talhah narrated that his
father said: I was with the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) and he passed
by some date-palm trees of Madinah, and he saw some people at the top of the
trees who were pollinating them. He said: “What are these people doing?” Talhah
(radiyallāhu ‘anhu) said: “They’re taking pollen from the male and putting it
in the female to fertilise it.”
The Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi
wasallam) said: “I do not think this will help in any way.” The news of that
reached them, so they stopped doing it and came down from the trees - and the trees did not bear any fruit that
year as a result.
When the news reached the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam), he said: “It was only a suggestion that I had. If it helps in any way, then do it. I am a human just like you, and views may be right or wrong. But if I tell you that Allah (the Mighty and Majestic ) said something, then I will never say anything untruthful about Allah.”(Reported in the Musnad of Imām Ahmad nos. 1399, 1400) See also Sahīh Muslim (no. 2361) who reported the incident and that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “You are more knowledgeable concerning your worldly affairs.”

Allah commands people in general to know that they they should worship Him because He created them and fear Him by carrying out His Commands and avoiding His Prohibitions. `Ibadah (worship of Allah) implies piousness, guidance, righteousness and Islam with which Allah sent the Messengers and sent down the Divine Books. It indicates that we should worship Allah Alone, seek Him Only with our obedience and acts of worship, carry out the acts of worship in accordance with what He (Glorified be He) legislated, not to worship anyone beside Him, be it a jinn, a human being, an idol, a star or anything else from among His Creatures.
Allah (Exalted be He) says in Surah-Al-Fatihah, You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we
ask for help (for each and everything).
And He (Glorified be He) says in other Surahs, And they were commanded not, but that they
should worship Allâh, and worship none but Him Alone (abstaining from ascribing
partners to Him) And, O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allâh) And,
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And,
So, call you (O Muhammad صلى
الله عليه وسلم
and the believers) upon (or invoke) Allâh making (your) worship pure for Him
(Alone) (by worshipping none but Him and by doing religious deeds sincerely for
Allâh’s sake only and not to show off and not to set up rivals with Him in
worship), however much the disbelievers (in the Oneness of Allâh) may hate
(it). All these and many other Ayahs
prove the necessity of seeking Allah Alone with worship and discarding all
other than Him .

“Will Allah punish me
Upon Prayer?!”
It is reported Sa’īd Ibn ul-Musayyib saw
a man praying more than just 2 raka’āt after the dawn of
Fajr (i.e. after Fajr time had started and so nothing other than the 2 Sunnah
of Fajr should be prayed and then Fajr itself), with many bowings (rukoo’) and
many prostrations (i.e. many raka’āt), so he forbade him.)
The man said, “O Abu
Mohammad! Will Allāh punish me upon praying?!”.
Ibn ul-Musayyib said,
“No, but He will punish you upon opposing the Sunnah”.
[reported by
al-Baihaqī with an authentic chain]
Shaikh al-Albanī رحمه الله تعالى
stated: “This is from the magnificent responses of Sa’īd Ibn ul-Musayyib رحمه الله تعالى.
And it is a powerful weapon against the innovators who approve and sanction
many innovations in the name of them being (forms of) “prayer” or “remembrance”;
then they even rebuke ahlus-Sunnah for
refuting them upon it; and they accuse ahlus Sunnah for refuting them upon it,
and they accuse ahlus Sunnah of rejecting “prayer” and “remembrance”!
Rather ahlus Sunnah rebuke their opposition
of the Sunnah in the prayer and remembrance”.
