Maktabah Al-Imām Al-Ghazālī

  A young 26-year old Mujahid from one of the provinces of Afghanistan explained what had motivated him to fight in Jihad. He said that he was a student before the American invasion. When the Americans invaded his land, his mother called him and said to him, “Son, you were in your cradle when your father became a martyr. Your father was martyred by the Soviets. When your father's body was lying on the ground, I went to pick up his gun - the gun with which he used to fight the Soviets. I have safely kept that gun until now. Today, the American forces have invaded our land.” She placed the gun in his hand, took hold of his collar and said, “Until the invaders are in our land and until you are alive, you will not put this gun down. If you do, I will grab you by your collar on the day of Qiyamah.” Lessons: 1. The West and even some modern Muslims regard such women as ignorant and uneducated. But, they are by no means uneducated and ignorant. They produced generations of mujahideen who ...

  The first step of deviation is to give preference to one's own views instead of accepting the teachings and principles of one's elders and pious predecessors. This is such a door that opens the door of deviation, then, the final stage is disrespect and insolence towards the Ambiya 'alayhim as-salaam, the blessed Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhum. Then, it goes ahead, leading to interpolating the Noble Qur'an, giving a new sequence to the Noble Qur'an, and drawing incorrect conclusions from the Ahadith.  Is this not all happening today? 

  On one occasion, Mawlana Abul Hasan 'Ali Nadwi rahimahullah said, "The issue has come on the tongues, so I shall say it. As long as we stayed in Iran, we did not experience enjoyment in Salaah. We did not feel any spiritual progress. As we departed from there, then in the plane it seemed as though a flood of spirituality had come over us." [Majalis Hasanah p.497]  

  And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Musa said to his people, "O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?" And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people. [Sūrah aṣ-Ṣ aff: 5]   1.     The Ban ī Isr ā ’ īl are mentioned in the Noble Qur’ān repeatedly in order for the Muslim Ummah to derive lessons and not fall into the same errors, disobedience, and deviation as them. 2.     Sayyidun ā Ya’q ū b ‘alayhi as-sal ā m was the son of Sayyidun ā Is ḥā q ‘alayhi as-sal ā m and the grandson of Sayyidun ā Ibr ā h ī m ‘alayhi as-sal ā m. 3.     The word Isr ā ’ ī l means ‘Abdull ā h, i.e., servant of All ā h. This was the title given to Sayyidun ā Ya’q ū b ‘alayhi as-sal ā m. 4.     Sayyidun ā Ya’q ū b ‘alayhi as-sal ā m had 12 sons; Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun (from L...

  And [He revealed] that the Masjids are for All ā h, so do not invoke with All ā h anyone. [Surah al-Jinn: 18] [They are] those who have been evicted from their homes without right – only because they say, "Our Rabb is All ā h." And were it not that All ā h checks the people, some by means of others, there would have been demolished monasteries, churches, synagogues, and mosques in which the name of All ā h is much mentioned [i.e., praised]. And All ā h will surely support those who support Him [i.e., His cause]. Indeed, All ā h is Powerful and Exalted in Might. [Surah al-Hajj: 40] The Mas ā jid of All ā h are only to be maintained by those who believe in All ā h and the Last Day and establish prayer and give zak ā h and do not fear except All ā h, for it is expected that those will be of the [rightly] guided. [Surah at-Taubah: 18] And never will the Jews and the Christians approve of you until you follow their religion. Say, "Indeed, the guidance of Allāh ...

  Ḥāfiẓ Ibn Ḥajar ‘Asqalānī rahimahullah  writes in Hadiyy as-Sārī p.459,  ‘Shī’iyyat is love for Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu  and taking him to be more virtuous than the rest of the Ṣaḥābah radiyallahu 'anhum . So, the person who takes Sayyidunā ‘Al ī  radiyallahu 'anhu to be more worthy of Khil ā fat than Sayyidun ā Ab ū Bakr radiyallahu 'anhu and Sayyidun ā ‘Umar radiyallahu 'anhu, he has exceeded the limits in Sh ī ’iyyat. Such a person is called a R ā fi ḍī , he is not called a Sh i’ī.   Then, together with giving preference to Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu in the matter of Khilāfat, he swears Shaykhayn and others, and shows his hatred for them, he becomes an extreme Rāfiḍī. If he believes in the return of Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu to the world (the belief of Raj'at, then it is something even worse than extremism in Rāfiḍiyyat.’ [The scholars must also be aware that narrators like Jabir Ju'fi and Abu Mikhnaf - Lu...

  Abū ‘Abdullāh Mughīrah bin Sa’īd Bajalī Kūfī was a great liar (kadh-dhāb), and a filthy Rāfiḍī. He believed that Sayyidunā ‘Alī radiyallahu 'anhu  had the power to resurrect the dead. This wretched man was the first accursed person to begin belittling and criticizing Sayyidunā Abū Bakr radiyallahu 'anhu  and Sayyidunā ‘Umar radiyallahu 'anhu. In the end, he claimed Nubuwwah. Due to this, he was burnt alive.  [See Fayd-ul-Mun'im, Sharh Muqaddamah Sahih Muslim p.97] These were the accursed people who laid the foundation of the Shia religion of hatred for the Sahabah and the Ahl-us-Sunnah wal Jama'ah. Their lies continue to be spread by their lovers and followers. There is no such a thing as uniting with the liars and filthy mouthed Rawafid and Shia who continue to curse the best of mankind after the Ambiya' 'alayhim as-salam.    May Allah Ta'ala protect the entire Muslim Ummah from the filth of speaking ill of the blessed Sahabah radiyallahu 'anhu...

  1.     Alḥamdulillāh for the bounty of Īmān and Islām. Alḥamdulillāh for the bounty of the Noble Qur’ān and the bounty of the Blessed Sunnah. Alḥamdulillāh for the bounty of being linked to the honourable Ṣaḥābah radiyallahu 'anhum , the blessed household of Rasūlullāh sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam , and the pious predecessors of the Ummah. 2.    The Jumu’ah platform is noble, blessed, and sacred. It must be used to spread the message of Islām, the meaning of the Noble Qur’ān, and give Muslims practical guidance on how to live their lives in accordance to the pleasure of Allāh Ta'ala . It is a trust, and must be treated as such. 3.    Of recent, there is a new trend of attributing modern mental issues to the blessed Ṣaḥābah  radiyallahu 'anhum  from the Jumu’ah platform and other public daises. This is highly disturbing and grossly disrespectful. In fact, it can easily be counted as insolence towards the blessed Ṣaḥābah  radiyall...
