"Concerning The Saved Sect !"

 

O you who seek salvation
Listen to the words of a sincere helper
In all your affairs hold fast
To the Revelation, not fanciful ravings
And aid Allah’s Book and the Sunnahs
Related from him who was sent with the Criterion
And strike with the sword of revelation every rejector (of the Attributes)
Like the strike of a Mujahid on every fingertip
For Allah’s sake without any cowardice
Be firm and patient underneath the banners of guidance
Whatever you do shall be for the pleasure of ar-Rahman
Let Allah’s Book and the established Sunnahs
Be your weapon, and keep a healthy soul
Who will accept the duel, let him come forward
Or who will take the lead into the battlefield
Split them with the saying of the Messenger, and fear not
From the scarcity of supporters,
For Allah will aid His religion and His book,
And Allah will suffice His slave with scarcity.
Do not fear from the plot of the enemy and their scheming,
For it is but with falsehood and lies that they fight. 

They make Takfeer on Major Sins.....???

Ahlus Sunnah do not make Takfeer on every sin and they do not do Takfeer on those who commit major sins, as long as they do not make permissible those sins which are definitely Haraam. And those who attribute Takfeer on the Muslimīn to the Mujāhideen fī sabīli llāh or say that they do Takfeer on everyone in general or that they do Takfeer on those who commit major sins, they are making up nothing but lies against them.

Its unknown that the Mujāhideen fī sabīli llāh make Takfeer on major sins or on any sins and what they say is what the people of Sunnah have said about Takfeer in shirk with Allāh and changing the Sharīʿah of Allah and supporting the Kuffaar over the Muslimeen and all Muslim Aimmah are united that whoever comes with a saying or action or belief that is contrary to the essence of our faith or alienates it and the proof stands against him, without any doubt, then he is a Kaafir. And those who consider this to be the mathhab of the Khawarij are mubtadi’yūn, the jahmiyyah and murjiah. And to those who complicate the simple matters of Islam regarding belief, disbelief and Istiḥlaal, this is nullified in the Book (Qurʼaan), the Sunnah and Ijmaaʿ. For the one who’s apostasy falls under the Shahādatayn, or one of them, his Islam is only confirmed if he (openly) reaffirms the Shahadah.

And (for the one) who’s apostasy is caused by denying an obligatory act (like Salaah), or by performing one of the Nullifiers of ones Islam, like shirk with Allah, or insulting the Prophet (saws) or replacing the Islamic Sharīʿah, or helping the Kuffaar against the Muslimeen, he will not enter back into Islām until he confesses that which he has disbelieved in and he repents to Allāh from that Nullifier and he (openly) reaffirms the Shahadatayn.

He can not be Muslim, even with the Shahadatayn, without repentance because he use to profess the Shahadatayn without disbelieving in it (the Kuffr he was doing). The ‘Ulamā are in agreement that lā ilāha ill Allāh does not benefit the one who says it if he does not stop contradicting it. 
 

Definition & Ruling of Gheebah !

Gheebah (backbiting, gossip) means that a person mentions the faults of his Muslim brother in his absence, which he would not like if he heard about it, when there is no need to mention them. 

When I say “mentions the faults of his brother”, this excludes cases when the other person says something to praise or commend him. 

When I say “Muslim brother”, this excludes the Kaafir, for there is no Gheebah in the case of a Kaafir. 

When I say, “in his absence”, this excludes things said in his presence, which is not called Gheebah according to the more correct of the two scholarly opinions. 

When I say, “which he would dislike if he heard about it”, this excludes things which he would not mind. 

When I say, “when there is no need to mention them”, this excludes cases when there is a Shar’i reason for doing that, such as warning against an innovator to make people aware of his bid’ah. 

It is essential to pay attention to the following in such cases: 

١.     Sincerity towards Allah and seeking His pleasure. 

From the heads of the Tawagheet...

 

My beloved brothers and sisters, every person who calls for a capitalist materialistic system that is in contradiction to Islam is a Taghout. Every person who slanders Islam and doesn’t see the Shari’ah as complete, mocks it, whether it was an article, a book, a TV show, on stage at the theater, in private or in public, joking or serious, this person is a Taghout and Kaafir.

Every person who publishes a book or spreads an article or co-operates at a media station in a slander campaign against Islam and the Messenger (saws) or the Ayaat of Allah, this person is a Taghout and a caller to misguidance. Every person who fights Islam, in any way whatsoever, every person who rebels against Allah, with his tongue, deeds or wealth, this person is a Taghout and a rebellious shaytaan, whether from the men or jinn, shayateen.

It becomes waajib on every single Muslim to hate it and declare Baraa from it. As well, he must declare his disbelief in it, show his enmity against it for the sake of Allah and fight against it if the capability is there.

The second head of the Tawagheet is the one who’s worshipped besides Allah and he is pleased with it. Whether he has been worshipped during his life or after it. We can classify some of the leaders of the Sufiyyah and their extremists as from this type that are being pleased of being worshipped besides Allah and quiet about it. What is even worse is when they call their followers and students to worship them, ask them in times of need, travel and make tawaf around their graves.

Black Seed (Nigella sativa) : A cure for every Disease!

Prophet (saws) said: “Use this Black Seed regularly, because it is a cure for every disease, except death.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim] 

What is the Black Seed?

Its botanical name is Nigella sativa. It is believed to be indigenous to the Mediterranean region but has been cultivated into other parts of the world including the Arabian peninsula, northern Africa and parts of Asia.

The Black seeds originate from the common fennel flower plant (Nigella sativa) of the buttercup (Ranunculaceae) family. It is sometimes mistakenly confused with the fennel herb plant (Foeniculum vulgare).

The plant has finely divided foliage and pale bluish purple or white flowers. The stalk of the plant reaches a height of twelve to eighteen inches as its fruit, the black seed, matures.

The Black Seed forms a fruit capsule which consists of many white trigonal seeds. Once the fruit capsule has matured, it opens up and the seeds contained within are exposed to the air, becoming black in color.

The Black seeds are small black grains with a rough surface and an oily white interior, similar to onion seeds. The seeds have little bouquet, though when rubbed, their aroma resembles oregano. They have a slightly bitter, peppery flavor and a crunchy texture.

The Black Seed is also known by other names, varying between places. Some call it black caraway, others call it black cumin, onion seeds or even coriander seeds. The plant has no relation to the common kitchen herb, cumin.

Muslim's use of the Black Seed:

Agreement with Mushrikoon due to...

 

Know, may Allah have mercy upon you, that if a person manifests agreement with the Mushrikoon in their Deen out of fear of them and mudaarah (being soft to avoid censure and harm) and softening towards them in order to repel their evil then he is a Kaafir like them. That is even if he hates their Deen and despises them and loves Islam and the Muslims. This is the case if nothing else but that occurs from him, so how about if he was in the abode of their power (i.e. their lands), called upon them (for assistance), entered into their obedience, manifested agreement with their false Deen, helped them in it with aid and wealth, allied with them, severed the Muwalaat between himself and the Muslims, and ended up with (joined) the soldiers of the shrines and shirk and its people, all of this occurring after he was previously from the soldiers of Ikhlaas and Tawheed and its people.

A Muslim has no doubt that this one is a Kaafir, from the severest of people in enmity to Allah and His Messenger (saws). No one is exempted from that save the compelled one and he is the one whom the Mushrikoon overcome and thus they say to him, “Commit Kuffr,” or, “Do this or we will do to you (harm) and kill you.” Or they take him and torture him until he agrees to them (in their demand) so in that case it is allowed for him to (show) agreement with the tongue whilst having contentment in the heart with Imaan.

The scholars have unanimously agreed that whoever speaks with Kuffr out of jest then he has disbelieved so how about the one who manifests Kuffr out of fear and being desirous of the world? I shall mention some evidence for this with the help and assistance of Allah.” – Then he mentioned twenty-one (21) proofs.

[Ad-Durrar as-Sanniyah 8/121, By ash-Shaykh Sulayman Ibnu ‘Abdullah Ali shaykh (rahimahUllah)]

Admonition and Reminder during times of Adversity...

"Many similar mishaps (troubles, problems) of life were faced by nations that have passed away before you, so travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who disbelieved." [3:137] 

Imaam Ibnul Qayyim said: "Indeed, there were nations like yourselves before you, so look to their evil end. You have to know that the reason behind their evil end was due to their disbelief in the revelations of Allah and disbelief in Allah’s Messengers. They were the forefathers and you are the descendants. The main affair that connects you to each other is your disbelief and the ruling on that disbelief is destruction." [I’laam Al-Muwaqqi-een: 1/181] 

Imaam Al-Uthaymeen said: "If it is said, 'What is the benefit in narrating to us the stories of the destroyed nations despite the fact that this Ummah will not be completely destroyed in a manner similar to the destruction of the previous nations before it?'"

The Answer: "Indeed, this has two benefits: The first benefit is a clarification of Allah’s blessings upon us that the occurrence of a complete destruction is removed from us, and that were it not for Allah’s Benevolence we would have been deserving of it.

Secondly: The likeness of the punishment they received may occur in the hereafter for the one who did what they did, if punishment was not received in the worldly life. And this may be understood from the statement of Allah: 'Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the population of towns while they are doing wrong. Verily, His Seizure is painful and severe. Indeed in that (there) is a sure lesson for those who fear the torment of the Hereafter.' So what is apparent from this Ayah is that what is similar to the punishment they received will happen in the Hereafter, and Allah knows best."

[Al-Muntaqaa Min Fawa'idil Fawa'id 123-124] 

Imaam Bin Baaz said: "Whoever exercises patience during times of affliction, thankful during times of ease, submissive to Allah when calamities occur, expresses disappointment about himself to Allah due to his sins and shortcomings, and seeks Allah’s Mercy and Forgiveness, then indeed he will succeed with all success and with a praiseworthy end.

Some great reminders during such times of fear...

Some Great Reminders In The Qur’an By Way of Which Tranquillity, Hope And Firmness Is Established In The Heart to Deal With Recent Events - The Fear That Gripped Many Due to a Virus !

Belief In Qadr!

A servant (i.e. a servant of Allah) is not afflicted by a calamity except that which Allah has written and decreed. Allah said:
"Say: Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector). And in Allah let the believers put their trust." [9:51]

Nothing afflicts the servant except that which Allah has written for him and this is why the servant is greatly in need – in this particular affair and every other affair – to renew his belief in Allah’s Divine Will and Decree.

Firm Belief That Only Allah Can Remove Harm!

The believer should know that removal of harm is only in the hand of Allah. Harm cannot be removed except by Allah, and none can repel calamity except him. Allah said:
"Is not He (better than your gods) Who responds to the distressed one, when he calls Him, and Who removes the evil, and makes you inheritors of the earth, generations after generations. Is there any true (god) besides Allah?" [27:62]

"Say (O Muhammad): “Call unto those besides Him whom you pretend (to be gods like angels, Isa (Jesus), ‘Uzair (Ezra), etc). They have neither the power to remove the adversity from you nor even to shift it from you to another person.” [17:56]

70 amazing characters of 70 Companions of Prophet (saws)

The Rightly Guided Caliphs (the four great Companions who ruled after the Prophet (saws)):

1 - Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq – He was the Prophet’s (saws) chosen companion for the Hijrah (migration to Madinah).

2 - Umar Ibn Al-Khattab – During his reign, Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Egypt all became part of the Muslim Empire.

3 - Uthman Ibn Affan – He was considered the most modest of the Sahabah and even the angels would feel shy around him.

4 - Ali Ibn Abi Talib – He grew up in the Prophet’s (saws) home and accepted Islam when he was ten years old. 

The Early Reverts (those who reverted before the Hijrah):

5 - Zaid Ibn Haritha – He chose to live with the Prophet (saws) over his own father. 

6 - Khadijah Bint Khuwailid – She was the Prophet’s (saws) first wife and the first believer too. 

7 - Fathima Bint Asad – She was the wife of Abu Talib and raised the Prophet (saws) after his grandfather passed away.

8 - Safiyya Bint Abdul Mutallib – She was the Prophet’s (saws) aunt and mother of Zubair Ibn Al-Awwam.

9 - Abu Ubaidah Ibn Al-Jarrah – He was known as the trustworthy man of this ummah and was chosen to lead the Muslim armies by Umar Ibn Al-Khattab.

10 - Abu Dharr Al-Ghifaari – He was not from Makkah but went to Makkah in search of the Prophet (saws) and became an early revert. 

A Coronavirus Lament by Guantánamo Prisoner...

By Andy Worthington, April 4, 2020

Last week, on my own website, I published an article looking at the threat posed to the prisoners at Guantánamo by the coronavirus, following up on the alarming news that a U.S. sailor had been diagnosed with the virus, and was in isolation. My article also included a cross-post of a related article written for Just Security by Scott Roehm, the Washington Director of the Center for Victims of Torture.

Roehm pointed out that a number of the prisoners have serious underlying health problems, including Guantánamo’s oldest prisoner, Saifullah Paracha, and Sharqawi Al-Hajj, who tried to commit suicide last year, both of whom we have written about.

Roehm also called for a number of appropriate responses from the Trump administration, beginning with letting the prisoners and their lawyers know what policies are in place to deal with the virus (if any), and also including a call for Congress to allow prisoners to be transferred to the U.S. mainland if they need urgent medical care.

Following up on the news about the sailor being infected, Guantánamo prisoner Asadullah Haroon Gul sent a message to the world via one of his lawyers, which was published by Pajhwok Afghan News.

Asadullah Haroon Gul, the pre-penultimate prisoner to arrive at Guantánamo, in June 2007, is more generally known as Haroon Gul, and was initially identified by the U.S. simply as Haroon al-Afghani (Haroon the Afghan, revealing upfront how little they knew about him).

His Guantánamo prisoner number — ISN 3148 — is a number from Bagram, not Guantánamo, showing how little the authorities thought about his significance, because, to be assigned a Guantánamo prisoner number means having an administrative review, a Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT), to confirm that the prisoner in question is an "enemy combatant," so that they can be put forward for a military commission trial.

Having a CSRT also would have meant that some information would have ended up being made publicly available about Gul, from his own statements, but instead he remained shrouded in mystery, with the only publicly available information about him coming from the Pentagon, who made some nebulous claims about him being involved with Hezb-e-Islami Gulbuddin (HIG), led by the warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, which had, at one point, been aligned with Al-Qaeda.

Nafs Must Be Restrained !

We Must Restrain The Tongue 

The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: When the son of Adam wakes up in the morning, all the limbs humble themselves before the tongue and say: ”Fear Allah for our sake, (for) we are with you; if you are upright, we will be upright; and if you are crooked, we will become crooked." [at-Trimidhi]

The Messenger (saws) also said: "Whoever can guarantee (the chastity of) what is between his two jaw bones and what is between his two legs (i.e. his mouth, his tongue and his private parts), I guarantee Paradise for him." [Al-Bukhari]

Imaam Abdul-Azeez Bin Baaz said: "This requires two affairs; [a] A lot of remembrance (of Allah); [b] keeping away from gatherings of heedlessness and doubts, and (keeping away from) that which will result in fornication and nonsense speech." [Al-Hulalul Ibreeziyyah Min At-Taliqaat Al-Baaziyyah Alaa Saheeh al-Bukhari. Vol 4. Page:244. Footnote:2] 

We Must Enjoin Good And Forbid Evil 

Allah said:

لَّا خَيۡرَ فِى ڪَثِيرٍ۬ مِّن نَّجۡوَٮٰهُمۡ إِلَّا مَنۡ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوۡ مَعۡرُوفٍ أَوۡ إِصۡلَـٰحِۭ بَيۡنَ ٱلنَّاسِ‌ۚ وَمَن يَفۡعَلۡ ذَٲلِكَ ٱبۡتِغَآءَ مَرۡضَاتِ ٱللَّهِ فَسَوۡفَ نُؤۡتِيهِ أَجۡرًا عَظِيمً۬ا

"There is no good in most of their secret talks save (in) him who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allah’s Cause), or Ma’roof (Islamic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allah has ordained), or conciliation between mankind." [4:114]

Meaning: There is no good in most of their private conversations; therefore, if there is no good in it, then there will be no benefit in it, such as excessive permissible speech, speech that is evil and completely harmful and all types of unlawful speech. Then Allah made an exception, saying: إِلَّا مَنۡ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ – Save (in) him who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allah’s Cause) - Meaning: through wealth, knowledge or any means of benefit. And included in this are the lesser acts of worship, such as Tasbeeh (the utterance of SubhanAllah) and Tahmeed (the utterance of Alhamdulil-laah) and what is similar, as the Prophet (saws) said: "Indeed, every Tasbeeh (utterance of SubhanAllah) is sadaqah, and every Takbeer (utterance of Allahu Akbar) is Sadaqah, and every Tahleel (utterance of Laa-ilaaha-ilal-lah) is Sadaqah, and Enjoining Good is Sadaqah, and Forbidding Evil is Sadaqah, and even when one of you has sexual intercourse (with his wife), there is Sadaqah in that.’’ [Muslim]

Origins and spread of Shirk in the Ummah

Allah guided mankind through Muhammad (saws) and through what he brought of clear manifest evidences and guidance - a guidance that could not be described by those who were proficient in giving descriptions and surpassed the knowledge of those with great perception. So, through this guidance that was given to the Messenger of Allah (saws), Allah opened the eyes of the blind ones, the ears of the deaf ones and the hearts of the heedless ones. Allah united them upon one religion - the religion of Islamic monotheism; Ibraheem’s (as) religion of pure monotheism - after they had been in complete disunity, enmity towards one another, upon destructive and corrupt creeds. Allah united their hearts and they became true brothers in Islam by way of this great blessing. And thereafter everything that was worshiped besides Allah such as graves, trees, stones, graven images, idols etc, ceased to exist and all worship was carried out for Allah (alone).

The people followed the true Religion of Islamic monotheism; they worshipped Allah alone and established worship sincerely for Allah, except those whom Allah willed that they were to remain as people of polytheism, hypocrisy and followers of the altered and distorted previous scriptures. The darkness of shirk was dispelled and the banner of Tawheed was raised in the lands amongst the Arabs and non-Arabs. 

Allah took away the soul of His Messenger (saws) whilst Islam was established and in authority-superseding all other ways of life and creeds. Then the rightly guided khulafah of the Messenger continued upon this path until the two powerful and great nations at the time-Rome and Persia-ended up in humiliation, degradation and in a state of fear after they had been in a state of security, and thus Caesar was restricted and besieged, and khosrau was subdued and destroyed.

So when the enemies of Islam saw that they were unable to do away with this religion, they implanted their disbelieving agents within Islam, who pretended to be Muslims in order to foment confusion, trials and tribulations; and in order to spread shirk by exaggerating the status of the pious people and exalting their graves with (beliefs and practices) that were not ordained by Allah.
