Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

  Adapted and translated from ‘Abaqaat Volume 3 – under publication ‘Allamah Khalid Mahmud rahimahullah Since the political revolution in Iran and the transfer of power from a family to the people, and because most of the new members of the government were religious, this has been considered a religious revolution in some circles. Khomeini's personality, the status of the religious leader of Qom, and the inclusion of the Wilayat al-Faqih in the country's constitution added more colour to the religious picture of this revolution. Now that Khomeini passed away on June 3 (1989). Some people truly believed that a preacher of the Islamic Revolution had passed away. No one can escape death; whoever wears the garment of creation will have to drink the cup of death one day or another. A person should not be happy even at the death of an opponent because this is the door through which friends must also pass. The one who is born to die and the one who is built to fall, the one who comes...

  Question: Nowadays, a question is raised with great fervour, that Shias are infidels, but is it correct to call all the Shias infidels? And this question is raised because some of our great scholars had put restrictions and clauses in their fatwas... that if a Shia holds this belief or this belief... etc. Answer: Remember, fatwas are given because of belief and ideology, so the focus of the fatwa is not on the word Shia, but on belief and ideology. Therefore, a person whose belief is kufr (blasphemous) is an infidel, whether he is called a Shia or something else. For example, a person who believes in the distortion of the Qur’an or denies the chastity of Sayyidah A’isha Siddiqa radiyallahu ‘anha or believes in the belief in Imamate (which is the denial of the finality of the Prophethood), is unanimously a disbeliever, no matter who he is. Since the above-mentioned blasphemous beliefs are present in the foundational books of the Shia and the Shias acknowledge them, all the scholar...

  Over the last few weeks, the Shia lovers, Shia sympathisers, and the unity crowd have been peddling deceptive propaganda and lies about the Shia disbelievers. The claim they make is: whatever is found in the Shia books is all old stuff, and the new and young Shia do not believe all these things anymore. Let us study this claim and see how much weight it really holds. Firstly, have these claims come from the highest Shia authorities in Iran, Iraq, and elsewhere? Or are these claims being peddled by local Shia lovers and Shia defenders for some ulterior motive, to guard something sinister? Secondly,  can the so-called new and young Shias urgently explain what is so new about themselves? Have they abandoned the 'Aqeedah of their forefathers? Then why do they still call themselves Shias or Twelvers? Thirdly, in what exactly are the so-called new and young Shias different from the old ones? If they have changed their 'Aqeedah for the better, i.e., they have embraced Islam, then t...

  The Saba'is, i.e., followers of 'Abdullah bin Saba are responsible for the horrible incident in Karbala.  The first strong proof to show this is the testimony of the Ahl-ul-Bayt who were present there. Or, those who were not present there, but because they are Ahl-ul-Bayt. Alternatively, they were living at the time when the incident happened, and they were fully aware of the background and finer details of the incident.  The second proof is the confession of the Saba'is of that time. There are many confessions from them available to study. See Badr-ul-Layali. However, regret upon regret, there are some amongst the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah that narrate the story of Karbala - they do not accept and believe the testimony of the Ahl-ul-Bayt, nor do they feel that the evidence of the Khayr-ul-Quroon is worthy of any attention. They pay no attention to the confession of the criminals themselves, all the while wearing the noose of following the elegiac Rafidi Abu Mikhnaf L...

  Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Superpowers by Moulana Afzal Ismail  Published by: Muslims at Work Publications, South Africa First Edition: Jumad al-Akhirah 1447 | December 2025 For generations, Afghanistan has been the land where empires invade - and fall. From colonial ambitions and Cold War invasions to modern warfare, the world's mightiest forces have entered its mountains with confidence and departed in defeat. Afghanistan - The Graveyard of Superpowers traces this remarkable pattern through history, analysing the British invasions, the Soviet occupation, the American-led war and the rise of the Taliban. It explores the imani, strategic and cultural forces that shaped Afghan resilience, the media narratives that distorted realities and the lessons the Noble Qur'an offers for understanding conflict. This book reveals why Afghanistan remains unconquered - and why its enemies fear its mujahideen.     〰 〰 〰 〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰〰 This is a brilliant work by the hard worki...

  Before the Safavid Takeover Before the Safavid takeover of Iran, the country was a flourishing Sunni Muslim state. It produced a large number of the greatest scholars and luminaries in Islamic history. Shah Ismail Safavi  In 1501 CE, Shah Ismail Safavi declared Shiasm (Twelver) as the state religion. Some of his courtiers told him that the large Sunni Muslim population that lived around them could rebel against him. Shah Ismail Safavi replied, "I have been deputed by Allah for this task. If anyone raises a voice against my decision, I will not leave him alive." Shah Ismail Safavi announced that the Khulafa' Ar-Rashidin, i.e., Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna 'Umar, Sayyiduna 'Uthman radiyallahu 'anhum, should be sworn at openly. Whoever heard the swearing was to say in reply, "swear more and more." Moreover, he said, "Whoever opposes this instruction will be beheaded." He changed the Adhan and gave prominence to self-flagellation, and mourni...

  A great Mujahid and a magnificent leader, Ismail Haniyeh rahimahullah was barbarically martyred in Iran in July 2024.  Iran outwardly makes a display of support for Hamas and the cause of Palestine. But is this really the case? From the outset, it must be clear that Iran, a majority Twelver Shia country, has nothing to do with Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, nor do the Shia believe it to be of any significance.  Ismail Haniyeh was living in Doha, and he would travel to other countries too. He went to Turkiye, Russia, Egypt etc. But when he went to Iran, it was a totally different puzzle.   When a noted leader is martyred, then every minute detail is flashed all over the media. Where was the person located? Who was he with? What had happened? How did he lose his life?  The media went into a frenzy when other world leaders were killed, but here? It was said that Ismail Haniyeh rahimahullah was martyred by a guided missile. It stands to reason that if a missile hits a bu...
