F R E E D O M !

The catastrophe facing the Palestinian people is a defining global justice issue of our time.
It is not a conflict between two equal sides. It is an occupation by a powerful military state, armed and supported by the West, against an impoverished, stateless and displaced people.

For over 70 years, Israel has subjected Palestinians to systematic human rights abuses, severe discrimination, and deadly military force. A fourth generation of Palestinian children are being brought up in refugee camps, in chronic poverty, denied the right to return to their family homes. Over a million Palestinians suffer discrimination over access to public services, land and employment. Israel’s siege of Gaza has condemned its 1.9 million inhabitants to poverty and psychological violence. The construction of the apartheid wall, the military closure of the Jordan Valley, and the annexation of East Jerusalem are creating an irreversible reality of permanent occupation.

Governments around the world, including the UK government, have enabled Israel to carry out this oppression. Israel’s oppressive rule over the Palestinian people relies on the support of countries and companies which back Israel through diplomatic support, trade and investment. UK-based companies sell weapons and military technology to Israel, which it uses against the Palestinian people. While the UK government does nothing to hold Israel to account, Israel continues to deepen its repressive rule.

We support the Palestinian people’s struggle for justice and their call for people of conscience to join Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaigns to stop businesses and governments from lending support to oppression, and to pressure the Israeli government to respect Palestinians rights and comply with international law.

Imam Al-Shiraazi (رحمه الله) once said: Once, I stayed up the night with my father, while everyone around us remained asleep.
I said to him: Not a single person got up to even pray two rak'ahs?

He responded: It would have been better to sleep, my son, than to speak negatively of others.

Omar ibn Abd-Aziz (رحمه الله) once said: We lived in a time when we considered righteousness, not in fasting or prayer, but in withholding oneself from speaking poorly of others, for a person who spends his nights praying and days fasting will have his deeds go bankrupt on the Day of Resurrection if he doesn't protect his tongue.

Be merciful on the Earth, and you will be shown mercy from who is above the Heavens.

An Imam in Gaza who leads Taraweeh prayers said,
"There's a person who always attends taraweeh in the first row has Down Syndrome which is why his voice can be loud sometimes, and other times, he does rukoo' and sujood without the imam. And when I raise from rukoo' and say *Sami'Allaahu liman Hamidah* (Allah listens to whom praises Him), that person innocently cries out loud *Do you hear me Allah?* and when we do sujood, he innocently cries out loud *I love you Allah!*
I cannot hide my tears after salah. Someone asked me what's wrong, and I told him that that person with Down Syndrome worships Allah better than us; it is truly us who are down... He deals with Allah as if he sees Him! That is ihsaan. He doesn't just worship Allah; he LOVES Allah! May we worship Allah with better love, sincerity and of course, authenticity.

Aameen 🤲

We do lot of things to make our life comfortable. Nice house, luxurious car, mobile, Air condition etc,

But are we doing things that will make our grave life beautiful!

In this we are mostly indifferent to Allah (SWT)' s commandments. We propulsure our life according to our own way.

There is no doubt that we will die one day.

We must conscious about that and obey the rules of Allah properly. Other wise we will be published.

May Allah help us to obey His rules. AMEEN.❤️

The Prophet Muhammad SAW was fond of cats🐱🐾

Prophet Muhammad being the messenger of Allah (swt) and a role model for the mankind was very Compassionate person and he taught Muslims to love animals and show a compassionate behaviour towards them, Try not to disturb anyone sleeping even though if it is an animal.
And loved his cat muezza.🖤

Verily, there is heavenly reward for every act of kindness done to a living animal.🥀
-Prophet Muhammad SAW

The Prophet Muhammad SAW said: "A good deed done to an animal is like a good deed done to a human being, while an act of cruelty to an animal is as bad as cruelty to a human being."💕

The Messenger of Allah said: A woman was punished in hell because of a cat which she had confined until it dead.
She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of earth. 💕
-Bhukhari and Muslim

“Cats don’t invalidate the prayer Bcz they’re the one of the things that are useful in the house.”🥀
- Prophet Mohammad(Sm)
Narrated by Abu Hurairah; Ibn Majah:369.

Romance in Islam 💝💖

RasulAllah ﷺ said: “The best of you is the one who is best to his wife, and I am the best of you to my wives.” (Ibn Majah)
1. Lifting the morsel to her mouth,
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah's sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth."
|Sahih al-Bukhari 56|
2. Having fun and spending time with each other,
It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) raced with me and I beat him."
|Sahih Ibn Majahl
3. Laying in each other’s lap,
The Prophet (ﷺ) would recline in the lap of our beloved mother Sayyidah Aisha (RA) even in the state when she would be menstruating. The Prophet (ﷺ) would recite the Qur῾ān whilst reclining in his wife�s lap.
|Sahih Al-Bukhari|
4. Kissing
The Prophet (ﷺ) would kiss his wife regularly. Even when he (ﷺ) would be fasting.
It’s sunnah to kiss your wife before going to the masjid:
narrated that ‘A’ishah [RA] said that the Prophet ﷺ always kissed one of his wives then went out to pray,”
|Abu Dawood|
5. Combing the spouse�s hair,
Aisha (RA) would comb the hair of the Prophet (ﷺ) and wash his hair.
|Bukhrai, Tirmidhi|
6. Calling her by a beautiful name,
The Prophet ﷺ would call his wife �Humairā�� out of love. It means little reddish one, it refers to someone who is so fair that due to the sun they get a reddish tan
|Sahaih Al-Bukhari|
7. Eating from the same spot,
Narration by Aisha “RasulAllah ﷺ used to put his mouth on the place where I had drunk from, & he would drink from what was leftover by me, even if I was menstruating.”
He,ﷺ would also eat after her, & from the same place she had eaten from
8. Assisting her in the housework,
The Prophet (ﷺ) would clean and help at home. He would see to his needs himself rather than demanding his wife. He would clean and see to his clothing himself.
even Without being asked
9. Respecting your spouse and her loved ones,
One day, the Prophet’s companion, Amr ibn Al-As, said: “I came to the Prophet and said
Which people do you love most?”
He replied, “Aisha.”
I said: “From amongst the men?”
He replied, “Her father, (Abu Bakr).”
(Bukhari)
I believe that these Ahadees must be reminded at least once at every Wedding ceremony. We need to understand and propagate the fact that living as a lovely couple is not prohibited in Islam, Islam teaches us to love!
May Allah (SWT) grant us all righteous spouses who will be the coolness of our eyes and will wait for us at the gates of Jannah, aameen
Put your trust in Allah Insha'Allah 🙂

“He Who has made everything which He has created most good: He began the creation of man with (nothing more than) clay”

"الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَهُ وَبَدَأَ خَلْقَ الْإِنسَانِ مِن طِين"

[Qur’an-32:7]

Do good and be patient. Remember the reward from Allah? "O My servants who have believed. Fear your Lord. For those who do good in this world is good, and the earth of Allah is spacious. Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without limit." (Az Zumar (39):10

A drop of honey fell on the floor and a small ant came along and took a sip from it and then tried to leave, but the sweet taste of honey tempted her to go back for more...

She took a second sip and wanted to leave, but she felt that a mere sip from the edge of the honeydrop was not enough so this time she decided to dive into centre of the honeydrop to enjoy it more and more...

But once she entered it and began to enjoy it, she could not leave and became trapped in the honey until she died...

Some wisemen said: 'What is the life of this world (dunya) except a very large drop of honey - whoever suffices with taking a small sip from it is saved, and whoever drowns in the ocean of honey is destroyed.'

"Every soul will taste death, and you will only be given your [full] compensation on the Day of Resurrection. So he who is drawn away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise has attained [his desire]. And what is the life of this world except the enjoyment of delusion."
(Quran 3: 185)

QUESTION
I have a question. Why does Allah bring people into your life when you don't belong together? There are moments when you leave them, and then go back to them as well, or they come back to you, but in the end, it was never meant to happen. It's getting too difficult for me now to move on with something I couldn't imagine having. I so want to ask this question from Allah directly so that I get to know why does He send some people in our life, makes us live with them and then they leave you. I don't find any lesson except for the pain when they leave.

ANSWER
Allah brings people into our lives for a purpose, and He then takes them away when their purpose is done. Every experience you have with people you meet is meant to teach you something. When He removes them from your life, you must say “alhamdulillah” because there is most definitely a lesson you've learned that you can’t comprehend at this moment. You'll never really know for sure what roles people play in your life, but if you look back, you'll realize that they have either sparked the cogs of change or have taught you something valuable. Allah places people in our lives at specific times to suit a specific reason and removes them from our lives at specific times. Rather than thinking about why do they leave, think about "Why did they enter." That will make your life more meaningful.

The life of this world is transitory, it's a journey, and everyone you meet will leave you one day, and someone's leaving may drive you to think about the life - loss, and gain. Life is all about losing and gaining. Not every friendship or relationship is meant to be what you have imagined. We always imagine a happy ending, but we forget that sad endings also exists. And maybe - just maybe, to teach you to value the people around you who don't want to leave you.

And Allah knows best.

Abdullah ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the guardian of his family and he is responsible for them. A woman is the guardian of her husband’s home and his children and she is responsible for them. The servant of a man is a guardian of the property of his master and he is responsible for it. No doubt, every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.”

Now I bring you a Story, that really moves Hearts
The story is about a Man!
Who was poor, not only was he poor, he was a person who was very unattractive in fact, the Sahabas used to describe him as Hideous (Awful), If a person looks at him, just wants to look away.
So this man Allah created him this way, poor, no status in society, and Hideous, and even his name was Ugly!
His name was Julaybeeb (Ra)
RasulAllah Sallallahu alayhi wassalam saw Julaybeeb one day and he had grown older in age, He said to him:
How are you o Julaybeeb.
That was such the case of RasulAllah (saw).
How are you o Julaybeeb, and Julaybeeb said: Ya RasulAllah (saw) do you think the only women I will get is in Jannah,
Hoor-al-Ayn (Women of paradise) Insha’Allah?
RasulAllahu (saw) understood what he’s trying to say, that he is never going to be able to get married in this life.
Is he just gonna die and just hope to meet Hoor-al-Ayn.
RasulAllah (Saw) said: No, You are going to get a women from Dunyah Insha’Allah and also from the Akhira.
So RasulAllah (Saw) said, O Julaybeeb go to so and so house and ask, they have a Daughter.
He went and they rejected him, So RasulAllah (Saw) came to this man and said to him: “I want to ask for your Daughters hand.”
He said: Allahu Akbar RasulAllah (saw), what beautiful news this is that makes the eyes englighten the heart, SubhanAllah.
RasulAllah (saw) said, No, no it’s not for me.
He said, Who for then?
He (saw) said, for Julaybeeb (Ra), and Suddenly his smile turned into a frown, and he said let me ask her mother, so he went home and said, RasulAllah (saw) Has asked for our Daughter, She said Allahu Akbar! What great Honour! What brings comfort to the eyes and to the Heart.
He said, No no not for RasulAllah! She asked him for who for? He said, for Julaybeeb and then the mother said, SubhanAllah we had better man than him coming and asking for our daughter and rejected him, we had greater families asking for her, and we refused them and now, The lowest of the low in society and the most hideous, we have to give our daughter to him?
No no no please.
There Daughter was in the background inside listening,
So She came out said, What is this that I hear Mom and Dad?
RasulAllah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalam is on behalf of another man, Proposing that man to me, and you say No to RasulAllah?
WALLAHI (by Allah) I will not refuse the request of RasulAllah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalam and Julaybeeb is the only man I will marry!
Allahu Akbar!
When the news came to Julaybeeb, He was rejoiceful Masha’Allah and RasulAllah Sallallahu Alayhi Wassalam got the companions to look after him and donate so that he can get married.
Time passed and there was one of the battles, then Julaybeeb was among the people who went into that Battle.
RasulAllah (saw) was there and the battle handled was victorious to the Muslims and then he went out as he usually does and looks amongst the Sahabahs,
There were great Sahabahs who had died and He’s asking everybody’s asking, Where’s my uncle, where’s my brother, where’s my Son, where’s my so and so, but RasulAllah (saw) was asking one Question.
Where is my Julaybeeb? And everybody would say, we don’t know o RasulAllah (saw), Nobody cares about Julaybeeb, only RasulAllah (saw) cares about Julaybeeb.
Where is my Julaybeeb? Everyone is saying, I don’t know o RasulAllah (saw), and they will say o RasulAllah (saw) have you seen my Uncle? He said, No, but have you seen my Julaybeeb? They say, No no we don’t know anything about him.
So He went looking for Him, and a midst the Dead people He finally found Julaybeeb (Ra),
Dead on the ground, and around him as a circle, there was seven of the enemies dead around him.
And RasulAllah (saw) when he saw this image, He stared at him and His beloved eyes flowed with Tears.
He said.. He killed, seven of the enemies of Islam and then he was killed, Julaybeeb is of Me and I of Him, Julaybeeb is of Me, and He repeated it three times, Julaybeeb is of Me, He’s one of my Family and I am one of his Family.
Then Julaybeeb had no other bed except the bed of the Palms of RasulAllah (saw).
RasulAllah (saw) carried Him on His own forearms, and He was Crying then suddenly his crying turned into a Smile and He looked away.
He went, RasulAllah (saw) and buried Julaybeeb with His own Blessed hands, and They (Sahabahs) asked Him, O RasulAllah (saw) why were you crying and then you were smiling and looked away?
He said, I was Crying for the loss of my Dear family member Julaybeeb, no one cared about him but Me, and then Allah showed Me his place in Jannah, I saw His Soul in Jannah and there was one of His wives from the Hoor-al-Ayn running towards him (Julaybeeb), so I smiled that he finally got his wife which he wanted in Jannah and as she was running, the Heel of her leg showed, so I turned awaym I have no right to look at the wife of Julaybeeb.

Remember this boy who used to read the Quran in prison!

It is "Nafis Yaqoub", a young Thai man who entered illegally in Malaysia for the purpose of work, and one night he left his hiding place for fear of being arrested.

He went out to find food to buy, and on the way Nafis Yaqoub met a Malaysian policeman and asked for his identity, so he told him that he was not with him.

The policeman had to take him into custody and in custody he admitted that he was a Thai and came to Malaysia illegally, so they sent him to prison to get him to the deportations to return to his country.

Prison was very hot and there was no rug in the prison. Nafis had to take off his shirt and sat on it waiting for food. While he was waiting for food, he recite the Qur’an and his voice was very beautiful.

The policeman video him in prison and posted the video on the Internet, and became popular.

Hence, Nafis Yaqoub became famous and demanded that the police release him From prison he was appointed imam of a mosque in Malaysia, won several awards, and earned thousands of dollars donated to refugees in Burma, and today he is one of the famous imams in Malaysia.

Let’s think about it, Did God send us many religions to confuse us?
Of course not

If you do believe there is only one God, so there is must be only one message
It was the same message from the beginning “there is only one God to worship”
This is the most central principle of Islam, so what is Islam?

★ Islam is to submit to Allah in His Oneness (Monotheism) to be subservient to Him in obedience, and to shun associating any partners, rivals, and intercessors with Him. It is a religion of tolerance and ease.

This complies with some verses from the old scriptures as

-Luke 4:8 "Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only."

- Say: He is Allah, the one and only.” Al Quran 112:1) Islam

- Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” (The bible, Deuteronomy 6:4) Judaism, (The bible, Mark 12:29) Christianity.

- He is one only without a second.” Chandogya Upanishad 6:2:1) Hinduism

- There exists but one God, who is called the true the creator..... " sri guru granth sahib, vol 1, japuji verse 1 Sikhism

- He is one, he is without an origin or end.He has no father or mother , wife or son ....." (Dasatir) zoroastrianism (Parsism)

So Islam is not a new religion. It is in essence, the same message and guidance which Allah revealed to all Prophets Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ismail, David, Moses and Jesus peace be upon them all.

But the message which was revealed to Prophet Mohammed is Islam in its comprehensive, complete and final form.

How To Pray Tahajjud

✔️ First start off with reciting the Dua for Tahajjud before starting the salah.

✔️ Then Pray 2 rakats of Salah each (without iqamah) and it can be prayed till 8 rakat, how much of that you want to pray for example, 2 rakat or 4 rakat or 6 rakat or 8 rakat is upto you but more is always better.

✔️ After Tahajjud Salah is done, it is the sunnah to end with three rakat witr and if time is short (Fajr time is near) then end with one rakat of Witr Salah.

✔️ If you are going to pray Tahajjud then pray Witr prayer after Tahajjud Prayer, but if you have already prayed Witr after Isha Prayer then do not pray Witr Prayer again because there is only one Witr in a night.

✔️ Make Dua and ask for forgiveness and for Jannatul Ferdous and refuge against Hellfire.

✔️ It is best to pray Tahajjud Salah 1 to 1.5 hours (last one third of night) before Fajr starts.

✔️ We calculate time of Tahajjud by looking at the hours between Magrib and Fajr Salah.

✔️ If Magrib is at 9pm and Fajr is at 3am between them is six hours, divide those six hours by 3. So we have 2 hours 2 hours and 2 hours

So 9pm till 11pm is the first third of night
11pm till 1am is the second third of night
1am till Fajr is the last third of night

-- Allah Descends to the First Heaven Every Night

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When it is the last third of the night, our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, descends every night to the heaven
of the world and says, 'Is there anyone who invokes Me (demand anything from Me), that I may respond to his invocation; Is there anyone who asks Me for something that I may give (it to) him; Is there anyone who asks My forgiveness that I may forgive him?' "

Sahih al-Bukhari 6321

-- Dua Before Tahajjud

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، لَكَ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ـ أَوْ لاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

You might be married to the worst man ever, like Āsiah was married to Firaūn - but it didn't change her, and her loyalty and love towards Allāh.

You might be married to the best of men, like Prophet Lūt, and still not be saved from the punishment of Allāh.

You might not be married to any man, like Maryam (a.s), and Allāh can make your rank higher than any woman on Earth.

Know your priorities!

The only relationship where you will never have your heart broken is the relationship between you and Allāh.

The methodology of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jammah in brief. Very beneficial for both born Muslims and reverts.

Our Call to The Ummah by Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Hadi Al Wadi (Rahimaullah).

1. We believe in Allah and His Names and Attributes, as they were mentioned in the Book of Allah and in the Sunnah of Messenger of Allah (sallalahu alaihi wasallam), without tahreef (distortion), nor ta’weel (figurative interpretation), nor tamtheel (making a likeness), nor tashbeeh (resemblance), nor ta’teel (denial).

2. We love the Companions (May Allah be pleased with them) of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and we hate those who speak against them. We believe that to speak ill of them is to speak ill of the Religion, because they are the ones who conveyed it to us. And we love the Family of the Prophet (ﷺ) with love that is permitted by the sharee’ah. ‘Imraan Ibn Husayn (May Allah be pleased with him) said, “O people! Learn the knowledge of the religion from us, if you do not do so, then you will certainly be misguided.” (al-Kifaayah (page 15) of al-Khateeb al Baghdaadee)

3. We love the People of Hadeeth and all of the Salaf of the Ummah from Ahlus-Sunnah. Imam Shaatibee (Rahimahullah) said, “The Salaf-as-Saalih, the Companions, the taabi’een and their successors knew the Qur’aan, its sciences and its meanings the best.” (Al Muwaafiqaat, Volume 2, page 79, of ash-Shaatibee).

4. We despise Ilm Al kalaam (knowledge of theological rhetoric), and we view it to be from amongst the greatest reasons for the division in the Ummah.

5. We do not accept anything from the books of fiqh (jurisprudence), nor from the books of tafseer (explanation of the Quran), nor from the ancient stories, nor from the Seerah (biography) of the Prophet (ﷺ), except that which has confirmed from Allah or from His Messenger (ﷺ). We do not mean that we have rejected them, nor do we claim that we are not in need of them. Rather, we benefit from the discoveries of our Scholars and th jurists and other than them. However, we do not accept a ruling, except with an authentic proof.

6. We do not write in our books, nor do we cover in our lessons, nor do we give sermons with anything except the Qur’aan or the authentic and authoritative hadeeth. And we detest that emanates from many books and admonishers in terms of false stories and weak and fabricated ahaadeeth. ‘Abdullah Ibn Al Mubaarak (Rahimaullah) said, “The Sahih Hadith are sufficient and the weak ahaadeeth are not needed.” (Al Jami’ li-Aklaaqir-Raawee, Volume 2, page 159, of as-Suyooti).

7. We do not perform takfeer upon any Muslim due to any sin, except Shirk with Allah, or the abandonment of Prayer, or apostasy. We seek refuge in Allah for that.

8. We believe that the Quran is the Speech of Allah, it is not created.

9. We hold that our ‘obligation is to co-operate with the group that traverses the methodology of the Book and the Sunnah, and what thee Salah of the Ummah were upon: in terms of calling to Allah the Glorified, and being sincere in worship of Him, and warning from Shirk,, innovations, and disobedience, and to advise all of the groups that oppose this (from a fatwa by the Committee of Major Scholars dated: 11/16/1417. 18870). It was signed by al-‘Allamah ‘Abdul-Azeez Ibn Baaz, Shaykh Abdul Azeez ibn Abdullah aalush-Shaykh, Shaykh Abdullah Ibn Abdur-Rahmaan al-Ghudayyaan, Shaykh Bakr Ibn Abduullah Aboo Zayd, and Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fawzaan al-Fawzaan). So co-opeating upon righteousness and piety (taqwaa) and mutual advisisng necessitates warning against evil and not co-operating with the wicked (From the words of Shaykh Ibn Baaz in al-Furqaan magazine (issue number 14, page 15).

10. We do not deem it correct to revolt against the Muslim rulers as long as they are Muslims, nor do we feel that revolutions bring about reconciliation. Rather, they corrupt the community.

11. We hold that this multiplicity of present day parties is a reason for the division of the Muslim and their weakness. So therefore we set about ‘freeing the minds from the fetters of blind-following and the darkness of sectarianism and party sprit. ‘(Fiqh ul-Waaqi’ (page 49) of Shaykh Al Albani (Rahimaullah).

12. We restrict our understanding of the Book of Allah and of the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to the understanding of the Salah of the Ummah from the Scholars of hadeeth, not the blind-followers of their individuals. Rathe, we take the truth from wherever it comes. And we know that there are those who claim Salafiyyah, yet Salafiyyah is free from them, since they bring to the society that Allah has prohibited. We believe in ‘cultivating the young generation upon this Islaam, purified from all that we have mentioned, giving to them a correct Islamic education from the start without any influence from the disbelieving western educations.’ (Fiqhul-Waaqi (p.51) of al Albaanee).

13. We believe politics is a part of the Religion, and those who try to separate the Religion from politics are only attempting to destroy the Religion and to spread chaos.

14. We believe there will be no honour or victory for the Muslims until they return to the Book of Allah and to the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

15. We oppose those who divide the Religion into trivialities and important issues. And we know that this is a destructive da’wah.

16. We oppose those who put down the knowledge of the Sunnah, and say that this is not the time for it. Likewise, we oppose those who put down acting upon the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

17. 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.

18. We love the present day Scholars of the Sunnah and hope to benefit from them and regret the passing away of many of them. Imaam Maalik (rahimahullah) said, “The knowledge of hadeeth is your flesh and blood and you will be asked concerning it on the Day of Judgement, so look who you are taking it from.” (al-Muhaddithul-Faasil (page 416) and al-Kifaayah (p21) of al-Khateeb).

19. We do not accept a fatwa except from the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ).

These are glimpses into our ‘aqeedah and our da’wah. So if one has any objection to this, then we are prepared to accept advice if it is truthful, and to refute it if it is erroneous, and to avoid it if it is stubborn rejection. And Allah knows best.

This explanation of our call has been summarized from Tarjumah Abi Abdur-Rahmaan Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee (page 135-142) of Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Hadi Al Wadi (Rahimaullah) with minor additions from other sources.
