Questions
[Q1]: O Shaykh, we do not have a Salafī masjid in Toronto, the Salafī brothers have gathered to purchase a masjid soon, in shāʾ Allāh, what is your advice to those who will be responsible for the masjid.
[Q2]: Is it permissible to call the Muslim youth to sports such as football, and then after playing sports, to call them to Salafiyyah?
[Q3]: There is a man here in Toronto and he has stated that he has called you and he asked you, “Is it permissible for me to teach in the masājid of ḥizbiyyah if they do not put any…
May Allāh treat you well, O Eminent Father; a questioner asks:
[Q]: What is the ruling on the one who delivers the Friday sermon reciting within the prayer, verses which appropriately fit the topic of the sermon and taking this as his regular practice in every Khuṭbah?
[A]: Do you mean that he recites thus in the Ṣalātul-Jumuʿah or at the end of the Khuṭbah? If what is meant is that he recites this in the Ṣalātul-Jumuʿah, then this has not been legislated nor has it been narrated (from the Prophet) (صلى الله عليه وسلم). That which has been narrated is that he should recite:
سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَ…
A lecture mentioning several points of clarity with regards to the daʿwah of ahl al-sunnah and the daʿwah of those who oppose the sunnah. This beneficial sitting outlines the definitive matters which differentiate ahl al-sunnah and ahl al-bidʿah.
Our noble brother, Abū ʿAbdullāh Ḥasan al-Ṣumālī introduces the topic by illustrating the way of the Imāms of the salaf with regards to clarifying the belief of ahl al-sunnah vs. ahl-bidʿah. A crushing blow to the mumayyi’een who claim that refutation is fitnah,
‘The differentiation of ahl-bidʿah and ahl al-sunnah is something that the ‘ulamāʾ hav…
The Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam) said, “Near the establishment of the Hour, there will be the days of al-Harj, and the religious knowledge will be taken away (vanish i.e. by the death of Religious scholars) and general ignorance will spread.” Abū Mūsá said, “al-Harj, in the Ethiopian language, means killing,” Ibn Masʿūd added: I heard Allāh’s Apostle saying; (It will be) from among the most wicked people who will be living at the time when the Hour will be established.” [1]
Explains the muhaddith of his time, Imām Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī (raḥimahullāh), “This does not me…
In regards to the matter of maḥabbah, Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah (d. 751H) is quoted in refutation and sharp contrast between the ʿaqīdah of Ahl al-Sunnah in opposition to the Jahmiyyah.1
Stated Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah in Madārij al-Sālikīn, ‘Allāh’s loving his beloved servant, his Prophets and Messengers, this muhabbah is an attribute of His. It is something additional to His Mercy, His treating them nobly and to His giving to them. All of these things are the effect and result of Allāh’s Love. So, because Allāh loves these people, then He grants them…
A stirring lecture on the serious matter of judgement on the day of standing. A call for us to take account of ourselves before we are taken account of! May Allāh save us!

As the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said in various narrations, innovations will become widespread. Many groups have added new things to the religion that Allāh, subḥānahu wa taʿala, did not legislate. In following the best generations of mankind, the Salaf, it is upon us to make clear the truth from the falsehood. Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymīyyah (d.728H) – raḥimahullāh – said, “Ordering with the Sunnah and prohibiting from the innovation is ordering the good and prohibiting from the evil. And it is the most virtuous of righteous actions.” Our brother Abū al-ʿAbbās Mūsá Richardson expounds on…
Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbd al-Muḥsin al-ʿAbbād:
Are Al-Qā’idah Mujāhidūn?
Some people say that the present-day organisation (known as) Al-Qā’idah are Khawārij and others say that they are Mujāhidūn (performing Jihād) what is the position of your eminence concerning this? Answer: Yes they are Mujāhidūn (struggling and fighting) in the path of the devil.
Previously I received e-mails where people were surprised with the Shaykh’s stance on the killing of ibn Laden. In reality, no one should be amazed as the Shaykh has only stated what has previously been mentioned by the Imāms of Ahl Us Sunnah from…
[Q]: What is the balanced position concerning the killing of Usāmah ibn Laden as there were those who are delighted with his killing and others who said that he was a Mujāhid and they judged him to have achieved martyrdom?
[A]: How is he a Mujāhid! Yes, he was a Mujāhid in the path of the devil. Usāmah ibn Laden brought a great deal of evil to the Muslims, and there is no doubt that his departure will bring them ease; the people will be more at ease due to his departure.
