"Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) commanded us with seven things and forbade us from seven. He commanded us to visit the sick, to follow the funeral procession, to respond to the sneezer (by saying 'Yarhamuk Allah'), to fulfill oaths or the requests of those who swear by Allah, to support the oppressed, to respond to invitations, and to spread greetings of peace." This hadith is agreed upon for its authenticity.

These actions are among the means of achieving mutual loyalty for the sake of Allah and strengthening the bonds of love between Muslims.

So hasten, hasten to implement them in your daily life!.."

— Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan

Abdul Malik Al-Awan: I asked my father (Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan) about the claim that the language of the people of Paradise is Arabic.

He replied: "This has not been authentically reported from the Prophet (ﷺ) nor from any of the Companions. It is not permissible to assert something for which there is no authentic text or unanimous agreement. The hadith narrated by Al-Hakim as marfu' (attributed to the Prophet): 'Love the Arabs for three reasons,' mentioning the third: 'because the language of the people of Paradise is Arabic,' is a fabricated hadith."

"Everyone besides the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is not infallible and is not free from error. Thus, whoever notices a slip from their brother, whether in speech or writing, should correct it in the best manner, adhering to the etiquettes of Islam and the virtues of dignity and generosity.

Critiquing those who differ has five conditions, and whoever does not meet them is not qualified to refute others. The matter should be left to those who are deserving. The conditions are:

1. Knowledge.
2. Justice.
3. Fairness.
4. Compassion.
5. Sincerity."

— Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan

"The Prophet ﷺ endured much hardship in his effort to call people to Tawheed and renounce Shirk. He remained patient and steadfast until Allah completed His light, supported His servant, defeated His enemy, and people entered the religion of Allah in multitudes."

— Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan

[The Greatest Scholar of our time]


➖ Many scholars have referred to Shaykh Al-Islam Sulayman Al-Alwan as the greatest scholar of this era among the people of the earth.

🔸 Shaykh Al-Allamah Hamoud bin Uqlaa Ash-Shuaybi (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

"I have met many memorizers of hadith, but I have not found anyone who combines the memorization of hadith with its understanding except Shaykh Sulayman. I do not know anyone in the kingdom who would disagree with this statement of mine. Then I said to myself, it is an injustice if people remain unaware of a scholar like him."

"Abundant sending of blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ is a sign of love for him. The more the heart increases in love for the Prophet ﷺ, the more it strives to embody his character and emulate his actions. Allah, the Most High, says: 'And if you obey him, you will be guided.'.."

— Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan

A short biography of the Esteemed Shaykh and Muhaddith Khalid bin Ibrahim bin Saad Al-Fulayj

Shaykh Khalid was born in 1390 AH.

He studied under several notable scholars, including:

Shaykh Abdulaziz bin Baz (may Allah forgive him), whom he accompanied for eleven years.

Shaykh Abdullah bin Jibreen (may Allah preserve him), whom he accompanied for thirteen years.

Shaykh Abdulrahman Al-Barrak (may Allah preserve him).

Shaykh Abdullah Al-Saad (may Allah release him).


The Shaykh excelled in the sciences of Aqeedah (Islamic creed) and Hadith. He has received authorization (Ijazah) in most of the major books of Hadith. He possesses an extensive library that includes rare manuscripts and thousands of books.

As for his noble character and praiseworthy nature, one cannot overstate his humility, kindness, and purity of heart. Shaykh Khalid is well-known for his approachability and never turns away anyone in need.

He has delivered numerous lessons, lectures, and scholarly sessions. Among the texts he has explained are:

Lessons on Sahih Al-Bukhari.

Lessons on Sunan Al-Tirmidhi (almost completed).

Lessons on Sunan Al-Nasa’i.

An explanation of Sullam Al-Wusool by Hafidh Al-Hakami, completed in written notes.

Explanations of Al-Wasitiyyah, Al-Tahawiyyah, and Lum’at Al-I’tiqad.

An explanation of Nukhbat Al-Fikr in Mustalah (Hadith terminology), which was recorded.

An explanation of Zad Al-Mustaqni’.

An explanation of Ad-Daa’ wa Ad-Dawaa’ (The Disease and the Cure).

He has also explained many foundational texts, such as the works of Shaykh-ul-Islam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him).


Shaykh Khalid has also been actively involved in da’wah (Islamic propagation) and has organized numerous study programs. His weekly lessons take place in various cities and towns, such as:

1. Weekly lessons in Shaqraa and Murat.


2. He has conducted several study programs in Al-Quwai’iyah, Jubail, and Ar-Rain.


3. He has made several da’wah trips to the southern regions of Saudi Arabia, which, by Allah’s grace, were fruitful.



Those who have had close contact with the Shaykh have witnessed his strong scholarly abilities. At times, he delivers lessons extemporaneously, without prior preparation, yet he amazes his audience with his command of Hadith narrators, chains of transmission, and his ability to present differing scholarly opinions. This reflects the vastness of his knowledge and the depth of his study.

When Shaykh was asked about his study habits, he informed that during his years of learning, he used to study for an average of 17 hours a day.

Shaykh Khalid—may Allah grant him relief—has been known for his ability to guide and mentor young people. His door has always remained open to everyone, and his method has always been clear and sound.

Moreover, the detention of the Shaykh stirs emotions and ignites sentiments. Allah is the ultimate guardian and disposer of affairs.

We ask Allah to hasten the release of the Shaykh, so he may return to his family, children, and students without delay.

"Indeed, the correct view is that the Hour of Response (the time when supplications are accepted) is the last hour of Friday afternoon. This is based on the narration of Abdullah ibn Salam, who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: "It is the last hour of the day."

This was reported by Ibn Majah through the chain of transmission from Abu Al-Nadhr, from Abu Salama, from Abdullah ibn Salam, from the Prophet ﷺ. All the narrators in this chain are trustworthy..."

— Shaykh Sulayman al-Alwan

"There is a fact that every Muslim must understand: the enmity of disbelievers towards those who embrace Islam and believe is deeply rooted. They will not be satisfied until Islam and Muslims cease to exist. Allah Almighty says: 'And never will the Jews or the Christians be pleased with you until you follow their religion.'."
