Az-Zuhree, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Holding on to the sunnah is salvation, and knowledge will be taken away very fast. So the preservation of the knowledge means the preservation of the Religion and dunyaa (worldly-life) and the loss of knowledge means loss of all of that."

[Narrated By Ad-Daarimi In His Sunan]

Az-Zuhree, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Allaah has not been worshipped with something better than learning the Religion."

Update for today:

No lecture this week. There will be a short reading from Ighaathatul-Lahfaan at around 18:30 إن شاء الله.

In regards to the sisters lesson today then apologies to those who attended early and found no teacher.

The teacher comes from East London and قدر الله وما شاء فعل there was a misjudgement in timing and she arrived later than expected.

By the permission of Allah, this shouldn't happen again.

We ask Allah to put barakah in all of our times and keep us punctual.

For those sisters who will attend the lessons (they won't be able to ask questions directly to the teacher on the day), and also for those brothers and sisters who won't attend but will be listening to the audios inshaallaah, if you have any questions related to the lessons, you can email them to masjidalmukhbiteen@gmail.com and inshaallaah they'll be replied to. Please post them in the format shown in the image so that it's easier for the teacher. بارك الله فيكم

A reminder that there will be lessons beginning tomorrow for both brothers and sisters at Masjid Al-Mukhbiteen. All lessons are free and are fully segregated. Tomorrow's lessons after Dhuhr Sunnah prayer are:

1) Subul-us-Salaam, Explanation Of Buloogh-ul-Maraam by Imaam As-San'aanee (Chapter Of Menstruation)

2) Rights Of The Spouses By Sheikh Jameel As-Silwee حفظه الله

Brothers and sisters are advised to attend if able so they may benefit themselves and their family members. The first lesson is not just important for sisters but also brothers as they may have to deal with these issues in their lives with their children etc. The second lesson is not only for those who are married but it's very important for those who are seeking marriage too as it's upon you to learn the rights of your spouse/potential spouse so that you are just and avoid oppressing them.

Forgiveness: The Mark Of A Muslim

Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah

May Allaah Have Mercy Upon Him

(Reflect on how he dealt with those who wronged him so greatly. May Allaah rectify us).

"In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Indeed Allaah – to Whom belongs all praise – has bestowed upon me immense grace, great favours and generous blessings which necessitates immense gratitude, being firm upon obedience to Him, and becoming accustomed to having beautiful patience in that which He ordered. Indeed, a servant is ordered to have sabr (patience) in times of ease more so than in times of hardship. Allaah – the Most High – said (interpretation of the meaning):

"But if We let him taste good (favour) after evil (poverty and harm) has touched him, he is sure to say: "Ills have departed from me." Surely, he is exultant, and boastful (ungrateful to Allaah). Except those who show patience and do righteous good deeds, those: theirs will be forgiveness and a great reward (Paradise)."

[Al-Qur'aan 11:10-11].

And you all know that Allaah – the Most Perfect – has blessed this affair (the first of Ibn Taymiyyah’s unjust imprisonment – a period of one and a half years, in the year 705H – which occurred due to some lies and false accusations against him) with such blessings which contain the means to aid His Religion, raise high His Word, aid His Army, and grant honour to His Awliyaa (pious and righteous servants). It is also the cause for strengthening Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah and causing humiliation to the people of innovations and sectarianism.

Likewise, it is also the cause for affirming that which has been affirmed by yourselves from the Sunnah (regarding the truth of this matter), and a cause for increasing this by opening up the avenues of guidance, victory and proofs: such that the truth becomes known to the people, who none but Allaah can enumerate. It is also a cause for the masses to begin to accept the way of the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah; as well as countless other favours. All of this must therefore be accompanied by immense gratitude to Allaah, as well as having patience – even if this patience is in times of ease.

And you all know that from the great principles which sum up the religion is: Uniting the hearts, unifying the word, and reconcilination between each other, as Allaah – the Most High – said (interpretation of the meanings):

“So fear and obey Allaah, and reconcile the matters of differences between yourselves.” [Al-Qur'aan 8:1].

"And hold fast, all of you together, to the Rope of Allaah (i.e. this Qur'aan), and be not divided among yourselves..." [Al-Qur'aan 3:103].

"And be not as those who divided and differed among themselves after the clear proofs had come to them. It is they for whom there is an awful torment."

[Al-Qur'aan 3:105].

And other examples like this from the texts (of Revelation), which order us with the jamaa’ah (unity upon the way of the Companions) and coming together, and prohibit splitting and differing. And the people who most exemplify this principle are Ahlul-Jamaa’ah (the people of the Jamaa’ah); just as the people who most exemplify leaving it are the people of sectarianism.

And that which sums up the Sunnah is: Obedience to the Messenger. This is why the Prophet, SalAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said (translated meaning):

“Indeed Allaah is pleased with three things: That you worship Allaah alone without associating any partner along with Him; that you holdfast all together to the Rope of Allaah and not to become split-up; and that you give sincere advice to whomsoever Allaah put in charge of your affairs.“

[Saheeh Muslim, 3/1340, and Ahmad, 2/367].

And in the Sunan collections from the Hadeeth of Zayd Ibn Thaabit and Ibn Mas’uud – who were both great fuqahaa (scholars of deep understanding) – who relate that the Prophet, SalAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said (translated meaning):

“May Allaah enliven whosoever hears my words, memorises them and then conveys them to others. Many a carrier of knowledge does not understand it, a

nd many a carrier of knowledge conveys it to one who has better understanding. There are three things which the heart of a believer has no malice about: Sincerity for Allaah in one’s action; sincere advice to those in authority and clinging to the Jamaa’ah.”

[Ahmad, 4/80, and Ibn Maajah, No. 230. Authenticated by Al-Albaanee in As-Saheehah, No.404].

And his saying: "has no malice” means not having any contempt for them. So the heart of a Muslim does not hate these characteristics. On the contrary, it loves them and is pleased with them.

So the first thing which I shall begin with regarding this principle is what is connected to myself. So you all know – may Allaah be pleased with you all – that I do not desire any harm at all – inwardly or outwardly – for anyone from the general masses of the Muslims, let alone our colleagues and companions. Nor do I harbour any ill-feeling towards anyone of them, nor do I blame them for anything at all.

Rather, to me they are deserving of nobility, love, honour and respect, over and over – each in accordance with their level. And a person cannot be except (one of three types):

1) Someone who sincerely strives to ascertain the truth; and is correct,

2) or one who sincerely strives to ascertain the truth; but errs,

3) or a sinful person.

As for the first, then he is rewarded and thanked. The second is rewarded for his ijtihaad (striving to ascertain the truth), and is forgiven and excused for his error. As for the third, then may Allaah forgive us, and him, and all the believers.

So we should not try to dwell upon the words of those who opposed this fundamental; by saying that so and so is deficient, or so and so did not act, or so and so was the cause of harm to the shaykh, or was the reason why all this occurred, or so and so used to speak about the plots of so and so; and other such similar statements which contain criticism of some of our colleagues and brothers. For indeed do not allow them to harm the brothers and colleagues in this manner, and there is no might, nor any power except with Allaah.

(This is in reference to some of their colleagues and brothers in Damascus, who weakened during this ordeal, and did not remain firm upon the correct methodology. So Ibn Taymiyyah is prohibiting any of his students and collegues from harming them in any way, and makes an excuse for them, and explains that he bears no ill-feeling or hatred in his heart towards any of them. Rather, he makes it clear that he has respect for them, and loves them for the sake of Allaah).

Rather, the likes of this criticism actually returns to the one who said it in the first place, unless he has good deeds by which Allaah will forgive him – if He wills – and indeed Allaah does forgive that which has preceded. And you also all know about the harsh treatment that was given to some of the brothers in Damascus, and that which occurs even now in Egypt.

This – in reality – is not due to a deficiency or shortcoming in the brothers, nor has it occurred because we have changed our views and hate them. Rather, such people, after receiving such harsh treatment increase in the status, love and respect that we have for them. For indeed the likes of these trials are beneficial to the believers, because Allaah corrects and improves them due to it.

Since the believer to another believer is like each of a pair of hands, each washes the other. However, it sometimes happens that dirt cannot be removed except with a certain amount of roughness, but that brings about cleanliness and softness, for which that roughness is praised…

You (also) all know that much of what has occurred in this matter were lies, false accusations, false suspicions, and the following of false desires, the likes of which cannot be described. So all those lies and false accusations that were directed against me, are actually a source of goodness and blessing for me. Allaah – the Most High – said (interpretation of the meaning):

“Indeed those who brought forward the lie are a small group amongst you. However, do not think that it is an e

vil for you. rather, it is good for you. And every person amongst them will be paid the sin of what they earned. And as for the one who took on the leading role in this, his will be a severe punishment.” [Al-Qur'aan 24:11].

So through such trials, Allaah manifests the light of truth and its clear proofs, which repel the falsehood and lies. So I do not desire to take revenge upon any of those who lied against me, or oppressed me, or showed enmity and hatred towards me. For indeed I forgive every Muslim, and I love only the good for them, and I desire for every Muslim the good that I desire for myself.

As for those who lied and did wrong, then I have excused and forgiven them. However, whatever is connected to violating the Rights of Allaah in this affair, then they should seek tawbah (repentance). So if they turn to Allaah in repentance, then Allaah will turn to them in forgiveness, otherwise the Judgement of Allaah will apply to them.

So if a person were to be thanked for his evil actions, then I thank all those who were the cause for this (trial) to happen to me – for it entails all the good of this world and the Hereafter. However, Allaah is thanked for His good blessings and favours by which no affair happens to a believer, except that there is good for him in it.

And the people of good intentions are thanked for their intentions, and the people of good actions are thanked for their actions. And as for those who did evil – then we ask Allaah that He turns to them in forgiveness. And you all know that this is from my nature and character.

Likewise, you all know that Abuu Bakr As-Siddeeq, may Allaah be pleased with him, concerning the matter of al-ifq (the lie against ‘Aaishah, his daughter, and wife of the Prophet, SalAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), about which Allaah revealed some Verses of the Qur’aan, swore that he would not give any more charity to Mistaah Ibn Athaathah; because Mistaah was one of those who participated in the lie. So Allaah revealed (interpretation of the meaning):

“And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, al-masaakeen (the poor), and those who left their homes for Allaah's Cause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allaah should forgive you? And Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

[Al-Qur'aan 24:22].

So when this Verse was revealed, Abuu Bakr, may Allaah be pleased with him, said: “Rather, by Allaah! I love that Allaah should forgive me.” So he continued to give to Mistaah the aid and charity that he used to give before. [Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, No. 4757].

So with forgiveness and kind treatment towards one another, and doing Jihaad (fighting and striving) in Allaah’s Path, then it is a must that (interpretation of the meanings):

"...Allaah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allaah, and never afraid of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allaah which He bestows on whom He wills. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures' needs, All-Knower.

Verily, your Wali (Protector or Helper) is Allaah, His Messenger, and the believers, - those who perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat), and give Zakat, and they bow down (submit themselves with obedience to Allaah in prayer).

And whosoever takes Allah, His Messenger, and those who have believed, as Protectors, then the party of Allah will be the victorious."

[Al-Qur'aan 5:54-56].

Was-salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh."

[Majmuu’ Al-Fataawa, 28/50-57. Slightly abridged].

An email we received and were requested to share with our beloved brothers and sisters as we hope it'll lead to more of you attending and benefiting yourselves and your families on the path to Paradise.

If this was mentioned about just the intro, inshaallaah they'll benefit even greater once the teacher gets deep into the book. May Allaah make us sincere and successful.

Zayd Ibn Arqam, may Allaah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet ﷺ used to say:

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا

O Allaah, grant my soul a sense of piety and purify it. You are the Best to purify it. You are its Guardian and Protector.

Saheeh Muslim, No. 2722
