Innalhamdulillah Few Quotes from the companions & Tabee'een: Abdullaah ibn Abbaas (RA) said, "do not sit with the people of innovation, for verily their sittings are a sickness for the hearts" [ash-Sharee'ah pg 65 of al-Aajurree (d.360)] Sufyaan ath-Thawree, "innovations are more beloved to Satan than sin. Since a sin mat be repented from but an innovation is not repented from" [sharh Usul I'tiqaad of al-Laalikaa'ee (d.414) no.238] Imaam al-Awzaa'ee said, "patiently restrict yourselves to the sunnah, stop where the people stopped, say what they said, avoid what they avoided. Take to the path of the salaf, for indeed what was sufficient for them was sufficient for you." [ash-Sharee'ah pg. 58] Imaam Maalik said, "how evil are the People of Innovation, we do not give them salaam" [al-Ibaanah of ibn Battah (d.387) no.441] The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending, supporting, Uniting with them or taking from them saying: "Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allaah, His Angels and the whole of mankind." Reported by Bukhaaree (12/41) and Muslim (9/140 .....Thus Our da’wah and our ’aqeedah is more beloved to us than our own selves, our wealth and our offspring. So we are not prepared to part with it for gold, nor silver. We say this so that no one may have hope in buying out our da’wah, nor should he think that it is possible for him to purchase it from us for deenaar or dirham. Since the politicians already know this about us, so they have despaired of buying it from us with granted positions or wealth. Shaikh, the Allamah, Muqbil ibn Hadee Al Waa'di'ee (Rahimahullah).

Innalhamdulillah... Modesty: wallahi that was soooo Beautiful, you wrote with Hikmah(wisdom), MAy Allah reward you.....May Allah make you among those who have earned his mercy.

Question: Oh Noble Shaykh How is Victory attained? A: the key to a return of the glory of Islaam is: implementation of beneficial knowledge and establishing righteous and correct actions, and this is a very great affair which the Muslims cannot reach, except through the manhaj (methodology) of tasfiyah (purification and correction) and tarbiyah (education and cultivation). These being two very great obligations. By the first of these, the following is intended: Firstly: Purifying the Islaamic ’aqeedah from that which is alien to it, such as shirk (associating partners to in those things that are particular to Him), ta’teel (rejection Attributes), ta’weel (twisting the meanings of Allaah’s Attributes), refusing authentic ahaadeeth, because they are connected to matters of ’aqeedah, and their like. Secondly: Purifying the Islaamic fiqh from the erroneous judgements made, which are contrary to the Book and the Sunnah, freeing the minds from the fetters of blind-following and the darkness of sectarianism and party-spirit. Thirdly: Purifying the books of tafseer, fiqh raqaa’iq (matters concerning the heart) and other than that, from ahaadeeth which are weak and fabricated, or the the unsupported narrations from the people of the Book, and the reprehensible narrations. As regards the second obligation, then by it I mean: cultivating the young generation upon this Islaam, purified all that we have mentioned, giving to them a correct Islaamic education from the start - without any influence from the disbelieving western education. There is no doubt, that bringing these two obligations about requires huge efforts and sincere co-operation between all Muslims - individuals and groups - from all those who are truly concerned with establishing the desired Islaamic society, each one working in his own field and specialty.” TO BE CONTINUE......

Innalhamdulillah..... In the Name of Allaah, and may Allaah's peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah. This tape, a continuous series of fataawaa (rulings) of Shaykh Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee, was recorded by Abu Laylaa al-Athharee on the 7th of Sha'baan in the year 1413, corresponding to the 31st of January 1993. Shaykh Naasir has addressed a series of questions sent by the youth from the United Arab Emirates; important questions which it is hoped will benefit the ummah. the Question and Anwers are as followed!

:confused:

Innalhamdulillah.... I was expecting this and may be worse from you since they teach you mocking of other Muslims Hmmm...Is that true? then how would you explain the following! Originally posted By Sahal: as i say b4 go your poison to other places, you're SICK they're really disease among us and we should disclose their tricks..... The peoiple are neither blind nor sick like you When you learn your manhaj as oppose to the other 72 sects heading to the fire....then maybe we can have a reasonable debate....Until Then May Allah Open your Heart to the Haqq

Innalhamdulillah... Count me in! Inshallah

Innalhamdulillah... Truth seeker....i think you mean Qawm not Kaum I looked up this word...and Qawm means People....As the Messengers of Allah use to say to their people...Ya qawmi....ya Qawmi.... I looked up the Arabic/english dictionary and People is stranslated as Qawm, and Nas as Mankind, and Ummah as Nation. this is from the Oxford English/arabic dictionary and my Quran is stranslated by by Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din Al-Hilali & Muhammad Muhsin Khan Same brother who stranslated Sahih Bukhari& Sahih Muslim, both of them were former directors of the University of AlMadinah, KSA So Stop with your Hizbu Tahreer Shubuhat(doubts) QacQac Man your name is soooooooo funny..loooooooool Akhee...who do the Scholars follow..if not the Prophet? 'Abdullah b. 'Amr b. al-'As reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Verily, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people but he takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, so that when He leaves no learned person, people turn to ignorant ones as their leaders; then they are asked to deliver religious verdicts and they deliver them without knowledge, they go astray, and lead others astray.(Sahih Muslim Book 034, Number 6462) YOu must worship Allah with Ilm(knowledge) not with Ignorance... Thus knowledge of the Deen lies with the Scholars....So we love them...we clinch to them...and we shun the ignorant ones who wish to lead others astray! Knowledge is a Weapon Wa salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baarakatu

Innalhamdulillah.... So, it's permissable according to your beloved Mashaykh without any evidence from KITAAB & SUNNAH and yet you're accusing others by following others without evidence from KITAAB & SUNNAH. WHERE IN THE SUNNAH & KITAB DOES IT SAY TO CALL YOURSELF SUNNI... Baarakalllahu Feek, akhee Fear allah man.....who said you follow others without evidences....you said your a Shafi'ee in exclusion to the other imams...Do you see me calling myself albanee, or Bin Baazee..ect?!?! akhee, Do we have to go over this a 100 times...for example the phrase Ahlul Sunnah walJamCa....you will not find a Hadith or Ayat that says these exact words, but rather you will find that the Messenger of allah said, Follow my Sunnah and stick to the Jamaca, So the companions and the scholars who came after coined the term Ahlul Sunnah WalJamaCat....aite....or Sunni its not in the quran and Hadith...Yet you use it The rest of your post was just drama...So Bro I dont think you know your Manhaj as appose to the other groups and sects...If you astrive to follow the Salaf, then dont be shy to ascribe to them...nor criticize those who call and adher to their Path.... Just like you are content sayin "Im a Sunni" Well im A SALAFI END OF STORY May Allah guide me and increase me in Patience....

Innalhamdulillah May Allah Increase me in Sabr(patience) ameen Ya Rabb…... Akhee how can we move on if i dont know your manhaj. Definitions: A muslim: One who takes the Shahada(testamony of faith) Sunni: One who follows the Sunnah of the prophet (saas) According to these two definitions every group and sect can claim to be a muslim and sunni!!! Just like yourself, Sahal Secondly, I told you I'm Muslim but you insisted to say what's your manhaj, if you mean the sects i'm not from any of the sects that you mentioned no your sect (Salafiyah Qaddiimah, Jadiidah etc), I am Muslim, Sunni. my believe is the believe of Sunni muslim i.e SIX PILLARS OF IIMAAN and how the Uluma (Salaf & Khalaf) interperted. I don’t think you understand….Inshallah ill make my points very very very very very simple, " There will not cease to be a group from my Ummah manifest and upon the truth not being harmed by those who forsake them neither by those who oppose them" and he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said, "And this Ummah will split into seventy-three sects, all of them in the Hellfire but one". So You say you’re a muslim, you say you’re a sunni…. So brother, what is the different between you and those 72 sects who say they are muslims and say they follow the sunnah yet they are heading to the fire …. HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR NOT ONE OF THEM… therefore what is IS YOUR MANHAJ (methodology) as oppose to theirs? May Allah increase me in Patience.... Also, it is evident from the above Hadith that that there will be One group in this Ummah manifest and upon the truth not being harmed by those who forsake them neither by those who oppose, So Sahal who is this ONE group, the key word here is One, not many, but One? is this group the Ash'areies, Mu'tazilah, Salafiyah.Durus..SHia.Khawarij...Hizb tahreer...etc ??? unlike you and your group, I'm very lean toward Muslims i love them all and i belong to them, i'm not arrogant i never claimed that i'm better than them although i know some of them are on a wrong way, but i always try to tell them the easiest and the best way not in ARROGANCE way as your group do. You Love and Lean toward those who Curses Aisha,Umar, Abu bakr(ra), you Love and lean towards those who says Angel Jribil make a mistake and should have revealed the quran to Ali(ra), and that Ali is far greater then all the prophets of Allah you Love and lean towards those who who call other muslims disbelievers and make the blood of the muslims lawful(ie Khawaraji) who are the dogs of the hell fire, as mentioned in an authentic narration? ’Abdullaah Ibn Abee Awfaa said: Messenger of Allaah has informed us that the Khawarij are the ‘dogs of the Hellfire” Ahmad (4/3272-372), it was authenticated by Shaykh al-Albaanee in Dhilaalul-Jannah (no. 508). Ibn Abbaas (d. 68H) said: "Indeed the most detestable of things to Allaah are the innovations." Reported by al-Bayhaqee in as-Sunan al-Kubraa (4/316) Do you love those who introduce Innovation in the religion of Islam? Those who earn the Wrath of Allah, the curse of the Angels and that of Mankind? The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also warned against the People of Innovation, from befriending, supporting or taking from them saying: " Whoever innovates or accommodates an innovator then upon him is the curse of Allaah, His Angels and the whole of mankind ." Reported by Bukhaaree (12/41) and Muslim (9/140) love them all and i belong to them, are these the people you love and belong to? i know some of them are on a wrong away akhee May Allah reward you...And May Allah Increase me in patience.... if they are on the wrong away, then what distinguishes them from you? How are you on the right way and they are on the wrong away… If you are a muslim and they are muslims and you claim to follow the sunnah and they claim to follow the sunnah! unlike your group, my focus is not the differences between the Muslims rather, I would like to see a united Muslim in one State one Amir one Aim one love each other and i'm working to that even though i'm doing very little. Akhee,im sure your desire is genuine, but akhee how can you desire that wish the Prophet(saw) said will not happened, ”My Ummah will split…...into 73 sects” Shall we Unite on Innovation...and Earn the Curse of Allah, the Angels and that of Mankind??? Is this Unity??? as I said before the differences are NEWS and the UNITY is the ORDER that we've to achieve it. therefore i'm not focusing the News but i'm focusing the ORDER and the target. Sorry akhee I don’t understand any of this, the sentence structure is incomprehensible. Most of your posts are similar to this! Inshallah you’ll take more care with your prose. May Allah increase me in Patience I asked the Evidence of KITAAB and SUNNAH and all what you said is Sheikh Albani said ..., Sheikh Bin Baz said ..., etc. you didn't mention single Ayah or Hadith. Akhee im deeply saddens me that you feel i have not responded to your questions, I am not a scholar of the Kitab and the Sunnah, This is why Allah said" If you do not Know Ask those who know" Therefore, i took the proper steps and asked those who are expert in Quran&Sunnah, they gave their rulings..we accept this from them, because we acknowledge their CIlm and status in this Ummah,This is our manhaj(methodology)....it may not be yours. but bro...May Allah reward you..its up to u to take it or leave it! Sahal,Inshallah you'll refrain from gearing the Discussion to Unity...or other stuff...inshallah you'll adhere to the rules of the discusion, you should answer my questions, Which still remains: what is your manhaj(methodolgy)as opposed to the 72 different Sects who are heading to the fire? and if you do not know....its best you say so!!!

Innalhamdulillah... http://www.troid.org/articles/hadeeth/explanationofhadeeth/obligationofobeying.pdf And certainly We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruit. But give glad tidings to those who have sabr (patience); those who, when afflicted with a calamity, say: Indeed to Allaah we belong, and to Him we shall return. They are those for whom are the salawaat (blessings and forgiveness) from their Lord, and His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.” [sooratul-Baqarah 2:155] “And We shall test you by way of evil and good, and to Us you will return.” [sooratul-Anbiyaa‘ 21:35] And We tested them with good blessing and evil calamities, in order that they may return to the obedience of Allaah.” [sooratul-A’raaf 7:168] The Prophet (saw) has commanded of patience toward tyranny of the Rulers and abandoning of fighting against them and revolting against them, that this is of the most beneficial and rectifying of affairs in both this life and the one to come, that whoever opposes deliberately, or due to an error, then no rectification is attained by his actions, rather more corruption. Ibn Taymiyah (Manhaj As Sunnah) Imam al Barbahaaree (d. 329H) said, "Whoever rebels against a Muslim ruler is one of the Khawaarij, has caused dissent within the Muslims, has contradicted the narrations and has died the death of the days of ignorance." (Sharhus-Sunnah [p.42]) Imaam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (d.241H) – rahimahullaah – said: “Verily I supplicate for the ruler, for his correctness, success and support – night and day – and I see this as being obligatory upon me.’’ Refer to as-Sunnah (no. 14) of Aboo Bakr al-Khallaal. It is authentically reported from the Messenger of Allah Muhammad (salallaahu'alayheewasallam) in the Ahaadeeth of 'Iyaad Ibn Ghunum who said, "The Messenger of Allaah Muhammad (salallaahu'alayheewasallam) said, "Whoever desires to advise the one with authority then he should not do so openly, rather he should take him by the hand and take him into seclusion (and then advise him). And if he accepts (the advice) from him then (he has achieved his objective) and if not, then he has fulfilled that which was a duty upon him." (Reported by Ahmad (3/403) and Ibn Abee 'Aasim (2/521) with a Saheeh isnaad.) When changing the evil of the rulers, then this should be done by the scholars and not openly as is mentioned by a clear Ahaadeeth of the Prophet (salallaahu'alayheewasallam), "When you wish to correct the sultan then take him by the hand in secret and advise him." [ Aqeedah at Tahawiyah ] And it is also related by Ibn Sa'ad in Tabaqaatul Kubraa (7/163-165) A group of Muslims came to al Hasan al Basree [/b [b]](student of the companions) (d. 110H) seeking a verdict to rebel against al Hajjaaj [3]. So they said, " O Abu Sa'eed! What do you say about fighting this oppressor who has unlawfully spilt blood and unlawfully taken wealth and did this and that ?" So al Hasan said, " I hold that he should not be fought. If this is the punishment from Allah (Ta'aala), then you will not be able to remove it with your swords. If this is a trial from Allah (Ta'aala), then be patient until Allah's Judgement comes, and He is the best of Judges ." So they left Al Hasan, disagreed with him and rebelled against al Hajjaaj - so al Hajjaaj killed them all. Hajjaaj wasath Thaqafee, and is well known. Adh Dhahabee said in Siyar A'lamin Nubalaa (4/343) at the end of his biography, " We revile him and do not love him, rather we hate him for Allah (Ta'aala). He had some good deeds, but they are drowned in the ocean of his sins, and his affair is for Allah!" About them al Hasan used to say, " If the people had patience, when they were being tested by their unjust ruler, it will not be long before Allah (Ta'aala) will give them a way out. However, they always rush for their swords, so they are left to their swords. By Allah! Not even for a single day did they bring about any good." Sa’eed Ibn Jumhaan said: ‘I came to ’Abdullaah Ibn Abee Awfaa and his eyes were covered, so I greeted him. He said to me: Who are you? So I said: I am Sa’eed Ibn Jumhaan He said: So what was done with your father (muslim Ruler )? I said: The Azaariqah (followers of Naafi’ Ibnul-Azraq al-Khaarijee) killed him . He said: May Allaah curse the Azaariqah! May Allaah curse the Azaariqah! The Messenger of Allaah has informed us that they are the ‘dogs of the Hellfire.’ He said: So I said: The Azaariqah alone, or all of the Khawaarij? He said: Yes, all of the Khawaarij. He said: So I said: Verily the ruler is oppressing the people and affecting them . He said: So give him your hand, and connect your hand to his firmly. Then he said: “Woe to you O Ibn Jumhaan! Stick to the Suwaadul-A’dtham, stick to the Suwaadul-A’dtham ! If the ruler will listen to you, then go to his house and inform him of what you know. So he may accept from you, but if not, then leave him ; since you do not know more than him.’’’ This incident was reported by Ahmad (4/3272-372), it was authenticated by Shaykh al-Albaanee in Dhilaalul-Jannah (no. 508). Hudhaifah (ra) reports that the Messenger of Allaah (saw) said " There will come leaders who will not follow my guidance and will not follow my sunnah. There will be amongst them men who will have the hearts of devil and bodies of humans. " He (Hudhaifah asked) "What shall I do, o Messenger of Allaah if I reach that?" He replied, " you should hear and obey the ruler even if he flogs your backs and takes your wealth, then still hear and obey ." Reported by Muslim (Eng. trans Vol 3/1029/34554) Shaykh Abdul Azeez Ibn Baaz , (hafidhahullaah) was asked, "Is it from the Manhaj (methodology) of the Salaf to criticise the Rulers from the mimbar (the pulpit)? And what is the Manhaj of the Salaf with respect to advising the Rulers? "He responded: "It is not from the Manhaj of the Salaf to publicise the faults of the Rulers and to mention such things from the pulpit because that leads to confusion/disorder and the absence of hearing and obeying the ruler in what is good. It also results in (the people) becoming engrossed (with these matters, arguing and debating) which causes harm and produces no benefit. Walilahmd....Salamu alaykum

Innalhamdulillah... I thought i would be kind enough to address all of your points. therefore you can't claim that Salafiyah is just Nickname. Na'am akhee i never claimed it was JUST a nickname....i was referring to placing it at the end of your name, like this.... "Farax-as Salafi" which is known as a Kunyah, or saying "im a salafi" Its, permissable according to our belove Mashaykh, and for each action a muslim does, either he is rewarded for it or its a sin....there is no in between. And if it is permissable, then inshallah we anticipate a reward. Secondly nothing wrong means MUBAAX or PERMISSABLE but it would be better if they add with condition ... etc, as others say or themselves my say but it is not mentioned here i.e nothing wrong to call yourself Salafi etc. as long as this would not lead TACASUB, hatred and differences between muslims. Hatred and differences between who, those who are on the Salafi manhaj and those who oppose it? Hatred between who? As for the latter, its natural that their is Differences between the salafi manhaj and those who oppose it, because if there wasnt any differences then there would be no 73 difference sects to begin with. akhee we can not move forward until i know what your manhaj is?

Innalhamdulillah..... Brother Sahal, im a fraid you failed to answer my questions, not only that i asked you, what is the difference between you and those Muslims who we differ in 'Aqeeda, and you when on a Synopsis of UNity. Unity is not the issue here, what i would like to known is what is the difference between you and A Shia'e,Durus,Qaraadiyah, Habashi,Ash'ari...etc...because they are all muslims and they are all proud of it, just like yourself? Yet they all have different beliefs concerning Allah and his religion! as for ascribing the name Salafiyah...We are not fortune enough to have the messenger of Allah(saw) with us or the revealation send down to us live, however we have his inheritors, its clear Alhamdulillah...from our beloved Mayshakh....and we will not change our views contrary to theirs. If you are Sincere in your Claim akhee u WOULD accept it from them. Walilhamd don't you know that the SAHABA (R.A) were had differencies about many things and the same were valid all our SALAFU SALIH who you're claiming to be on thier path. BROTHER BAARAKALLAHU FEEK , the Sahab had difference of option(Ikhtilaf)on certain issues, which even the scholars do, and they each have proves for their opinions....however the Sahab nor the scholars NEVER EVER had differenceS of opinion on 'Aqeeda. and this is what we differ with the other groups and sects. THeir beliefs('Aqeeda) System. the Rest of the post is about Unity....i will address that, but not until you tell me what you MANHAJ IS? Manhaj(methodology) is this: a word which indicates your aqidah and your thought and your starting point in your lives and which relates to the affairs of your religion by which your worship Allaah. in Short, you a muslim who follows the quran and sunnah, but according to who's understanding???? it is not Blind following(taqleed) a shaykh, or Ijtihad(virdicts given by a scholar when their is no evidence from kitab & Sunnah) alas,what is your manhaj?

Innalhamdulillah.... SisSade, yes its true, its best sisters pray at home, but they can also pray at the masjid if they like....i was only suggesting her to head to the masjid at dawn because the devouted muslim show up for fajr salah at the masjid. And who is better then the one who strives to Please his lord? Shabeele, i couldnt agree more!

Innalhamdulillah... To answer your question: First of all I am Muslim and Islam is the only thing i'm proud of it, nothing else. your a muslim? Isnt a Qadari a muslim, isnt a shia'ee a muslim, khawarij,Durus,Calawi,Sufee,Mu'tazilah,Murji... etc...Do they not all call themselves Muslims, and are they not proud of it? Yet they all have different beliefs system. So what is the difference between you and them? in relation to the Manhaj, as i said before it's depend on the person's level of knowldege HOw does your manhaj depend on your level of knowledge...When a manhaj is the avenue one understands the kitab and Sunnah? Sahal how do u understand the kitab and sunnah? as i am very simple muslim who has no deep knowldege of Shari'a I follow Kitab and Sunnah and if there is difference between the Uluma on interpretation of Ayah or Hadith I follow the one I see it's near to the right and most cases i follow Shaafi'i madhab or the majority of Uluma with full respect of other interpretations. If your a simple person who does not have the deep knowledge, then how can you determined what "Is near to Right?" for example: a Scholar says, Allah does not have eyes, but it is a metaphor and another scholar says, Allah has eyes, and they are real eyes....which one do u take? just by reading their fatwah...and each one has their own prove. and if you follow Shaafi'ee most of the time, wouldnt that be Taqleed(blind following). one man cant be your manhaj, can it?? Imam Shafi'ee said:"Imam Ahmed, you are more knowledgeable about Hadeeth than I, so when a hadeeth is saheeh, inform me of it, whether it is from Kufah, Basrah or Syria, so that I may take the view of the hadeeth, as long as it is saheeh." Related by Ibn Abi Haatim in Aadaab ash-Shaafi'i (pp. 94-5), cases i follow Shaafi'i madhab or the majority of Uluma with full respect of other interpretations. you say you follow Imam Shaafi'ee madhab...why is that? what does Imam Shaafi'ee have that Abu haaneefah did not? why choose him over Imam Malik who was the grandson of a Sahabi, who also was the teacher of Imam Shaafi'ee,? So should every muslim take a scholar as their madhab...imagine every Muslim taking their own imam as their madhab(much like the sufies)...where in the quran or Sunnah does it say to follow one man... if i reach the student level which, is unlikely, i would compare and contrast the four madhab and other Salaf's interpretation and present Uluma's interpretation and follow where the evidence is stronger. So would that be your manhaj, comparing & contrasting the fatwah' of scholars? My question: following your answer; Could other groups call themselves the names that they like such as Tabliigh, Ikhwan, Taxriir, Muhaajiroun, Qaadiriyah etc.? These groups and sects are among the 73 different sects ...their 'Aqeeda(belief) is not that of the Salaf us Saleh, but rather their beliefs are founded by their founders...all these Sects and groups you mentioned differ in 'Aqeeda(belief), their 'Aqeeda is build on innovation(bid'ah). We all know the saying" All innovation is misguides, and all misguides is in the fire." Thus the one who ascribes himselves to these groups, has ascribed falsehood unto himself. Inshallah you will have the same courtesy, and respond to my questions... my question still remains....what is your Manhaj???

Innalhamdulillah although you didn't give me any evidence from KITAAB and SUNNAH and compared Salman Al-Faris and Salafis which, in my view, are not in a same context since Faris is a country same as bukhari, Naysaaburi, Casqalaani etc. and salafi is a concept not a plce. Akhi, May Allah reward you, as for your question concerning if we can make Salafiyah as part of our “kunyah” Nickname or call ourselves salafies…, this question was posed to the contemporary scholars such as Albani and others, they say there is nothing wrong with it as long it is the truth. Your will find that the Companions did something similar: Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Al-Baraa ibn Malik al-Ansari Habib ibn Zayd al-Ansari Umayr ibn Sad al-Ansari Also The scholars Shaykh Fawzee al-Atharee , al atharee means Salafee Imaam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali ( who was the student of Imam Ahmed, who took his mandhab as his kunyah) Albani: Shaikh al-Albaani: "When it is said to you, ‘What is your madhhab’, what is your reply?" Questioner: "A Muslim". Shaikh al-Albaani: "This is not sufficient!". Questioner: "In that case I am a Muslim upon the Book and the Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf us-Saalih". Shaikh al- Albaani: "When a person asks you about your madhhab, is this what you will say to him?" Questioner: "Yes" Shaikh al- Albaani: "What is your view that we shorten this phrase in the language, since the best words are those that are few but indicated the desired intent, so we say, ‘Salafi’?" Allaamah, ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Ibn Baz – the [former] mufti of Saudi Arabia was asked: What do you say about the one who calls himself ‘ Salafi’ or ‘Athari’ ? Is this is a tazkiyah (purification) of his own self? So he replied – may Allaah have mercy upon him – "When he is being truthful [in his claim] that he is Salafi or Athari then there is not harm in that, [this is] similar to what the Salaf used to say, ‘So and so is a Salafi’, ‘So and so is Athari’ . This is a tazkiyah (commendation) which is necessary, a tazkiyah that is obligatory." (Cassette: Haqq ul-Muslim 16/1/1413 Ta’if) Shaikh Salih al-Fawzan was asked "Is the one who gives himself the title of ‘as-Salafi’ considered to have set up a ‘hizb(sect)’?". To which he replied, "There is no harm in labelling oneself with Salafiyyah when it is in truth. thus we take our deen from the scholars…Walilhamd...Jazakallahu Khair.

Innalhamdulillah... Ok Sahal inshallah i'll open a thread called Q&A Baarakallahu feek

Innalhamdulillah As to that you dont understand my posts, simple question, does society influence a way a person behaves? Akhee let say the Society is evil, does this mean its ok to Sin….For Example if one lives in a kafir land…and everyone is aware that the kufar land is constructed on Shirk and kufr, does this mean the muslims who dwell there, ought to commit kufr and shirk. We all possess the capacity to distinguish the Haram from the Halal, hence you will be held accountable for your actions no matter what society u live in….The Islamic State was established at the time of the rightly guided Khalifah…however this did not prevent people from going astray….In the end they lost the Khalifaship. “Allâh will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allâh)(13:11) Sheikh ul Islam Ibn Taymiah states in his book Siyastul Sharia: "There is no tawheed nor obedience except when there is an imam" What do you mean? Obedience to Who??? What do you mean by this??? if there is no tawheed then there can only be shirk!So without an imam everyone is a kafir, since there is no tawheed without an imam?!? do you know what the Shaykh Means??? Akhee Like i said earlier i tend to not understand what you get at :confused: ...you’ve constructed false principals for yourself, which is neither nourished by the Kitab nor Sunnah, but rather based on mere Self interpretations. I close with these gorgeous words by Our beloved Brother, NUR. Truth Seeker "I dont have to tell them, Allah SWT did in Quran: " Wa maa asaabakum min musiibatin fi bimaa kasabat aydiikum, wa yacfuu can kathiir" " Any calamity, disaster, attack etc befell on you, is what you have rightfully earned due to your actions, or the lack of, yet Allah has forgiven you for the most part" Also Allah SWT says :" Allah does not change the (bad condition) of a people, unless they change that (which earned them) in themselves" Brother, change begins from within. But alhamdulillah.... I believe Shaykh Albani ‘s Article was self explanatory…I can now move to the next topic

Innalhamdulillah... Akhi Salafiyah is a manjah..Alhamdulillah...its the way we understand the kitab and the sunnah.... as for naming ourself after our manhaj there is nothing wrong with that, people name themselves after their country...tribe...ect.its from the sunnah. ex. Salman alfarsee, and others calling yourself a salafi...means this A muslim who follows the kitab and sunnah with the understanding of the salaf us saaleh, therefore with this definition, i am still obeying Allah as i'm refering to myself as a Muslim who follows the salaf =salafi Student of Ibn taymiyah: Imam ath-Thahabi said: "It is authentically related from ad-Daraqutni (a scholar from approximately 1,000 years ago) that he said: There is nothing more despised by me than 'ilmul-kalaam (innovated speech and rhetoric). I (adh-Thahabee) say: The man never entered into ’ilmul-kalaam, nor did he enter into argumentation (i.e. philosophy), he did not delve into that. Rather, he was Salafee "Siyar A'laamun-Nubalaa' (16/457) of Ath-Thahabi as for my question: what is your manhaj?

Innalhamdulillah... Its seems to me that Sisters desire an angel for a husband...however each one of us has shortcomings... but the best of us are those who repent to Allah. Hibo... here is a tip...wake up each morning before Fajr Salaad...and head to the masjid....and inshalalh you will find the right person. wa salamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa baarakatu

Innalhamdulillah... Mutalikum bro... Philosophers were despised by the Companions(rA))....and the scholars of Islam admonished the people of ‘ilmul Kaalam (innovated speech), which you have displayed so elegantly here. Philosophers are more astray then they like to believe. They embellish their falsehood with beautiful language and lead others astray….May Allah give them what they deserve.

Innalhamdulillah... Postman well said akhee...Baarakallahu feek

Innalhamdulillah.. Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) said, “The Tawheed with which the Messengers came with comprises of affirming that Divinity and worship belong to Allaah alone, such that a person witnesses that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, and that none is worshipped except Him, nor depended upon other than Him, nor are alliances or enemies made except for Him, nor is an action done except for Him. This affirmation also covers those Names and Attributes which Allaah affirms for Himself

Innalhamdulillah... Shaykh Saalih Ibn Sa’d as-Suhaymee says: ‘‘Shirk (associating others with Allaah) is the greatest sin by which Allaah the Mighty and Majestic is disobeyed, and its danger is severe, and it is more hidden than the crawling of an ant. So due to that, it becomes stipulated upon every Muslim to have knowledge of Shirk until he becomes safe from it, and to be upon a clear path concerning its affair, and to fortify himself from falling into it. Shirk nullifies all good deeds, as Allaah the Exalted said: ‘‘ And if they associate others with Allaah, whatever they have done is nullified.’’ [sooratul-An’aam 6:88] And Allaah the Exalted said: ‘‘ And it was already revealed to you and to those before you, that if you should associate anything with Allaah, your work would surely become worthless, and you would surely be amongst the losers.’’ [sooratuz-Zumar 39:65] Shirk is the greatest injustice and Tawheed is the best form of justice. So what can be a greater denial than this meaning, so it is the greatest of major sins; to the extent that it is said when Shirk itself negates something, it becomes the greatest of major sins absolutely. And Allaah has prohibited Paradise upon everyone who commits Shirk, and He has made his blood, wealth, and family permissible for the people of Tawheed, and that they may take them as slaves for themselves since they abandon His ’uboodiyyah (worship). Allaah the Exalted has refused to accept any actions from the mushrik (one who commits Shirk), nor is there any intercession for him, neither is his final supplication answered, nor is it accepted sue to his hope. Because the mushrik is the most ignorant person concerning Allaah, since he makes something from His creation one to be called upon. And that is the utmost limit of ignorance concerning Him, as is the utmost limit of injustice to Him. And if the mushrik only knew the reality, he would not commit transgression upon his Lord, and the transgression is only upon himself.’’

Innalhamdulillah... Dalmar Hassan Q.: Sahal brother we agree more than we disagree, just ruminate on the word manhaj, then we can have a proper disscussion, which I am open to any time. Sahal if you wish we can have a public discusion...we will lay down the rules...and get start as soon as your ready...alhamdullah i believe this is the only way to stop your kaalam.
