BENEFIT 505: Ta’wīl in the Context of Āyāt Not Pertaining to Divine Attributes
The questioner says regarding the saying of Allāh, the Exalted: “So wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allāh” [2:115]: Why is the Ta'weel/interpretation of Face in this Āyah taken to mean facing the Qiblah, whereas in other Āyāt it is not interpreted this way? This is the claim of the innovators who distort the concept of the Face (of Allāh).
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
This Āyah is not understood to…
BENEFIT 504: Historical Criticism of Rulers Does Not Constitute Khurooj
Question: Is it permissible to speak about the rulers after their death, detailing the misguidance, oppression, and injustice they practiced? And does this contradict the belief of the Ahlus-Sunnah regarding the rulers?
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
Unjust speech is impermissible whether the person is alive or deceased. However, if the ruler was oppressive, such as Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf, then this is recorded and…
BENEFIT 503: The enemies of Islam study the religion in order to sow doubt and confusion among Muslims...this is nothing new!
Dr. ’AbdulAziz Ar-Rayyis waffaqahullah states:
"The killing of ʿUthmān occurred as a result of a Jewish conspiracy led by a Jew named ’Abdullāh ibn Saba', who pretended to be a Muslim. Thus, in the era of the Salaf — the time of the Companions — there were Jews who feigned Islam; therefore, be aware that in our own time there are many Jews who likewise pretend to be Muslims. Many of those who call themselves…
What should you do if someone brings you gossip (namīmah)?
Imām An-Nawawi raḥimahullāh states:
If someone brings you gossip and says, “So-and-so said this about you,” then you must do six things:
1⃣. Do not believe them, because a person who carries gossip is sinful, and his words are not trustworthy.
2⃣. Advise them and tell them to stop, and explain that what they are doing is wrong.
3⃣. Hate their action for…

Shaykh Al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allāh have mercy upon him) said:
‘I will take refuge on a mountain that will protect me from the water.’ -> [This is intellect]
‘There is no protector today from the decree of Allāh except for whom He has mercy.’ -> [This is revelation]
‘And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.’ -> [This is the result]
Thus, whoever gives precedence to his intellect over…

BENEFIT 501: Are there Salafi scholars and Du'aat in Kuwait?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
Kuwait is the best of the Gulf countries after the Land of Tawḥīd (Saudi Arabia). Many people there are influenced by the Salafi da‘wah, although a number of them are not free from certain manhaj issues. I ask Allāh to grant us and them guidance and steadfastness.

If we make the Qur'ān dependent upon such a theory and then that theory is proven false, this would imply that the Qur'ān itself became false in its indication, and this is extremely dangerous. Theref
I say: This was his statement (may Allāh have mercy on him) regarding scientific miracles. So what do you think of numerical miracles, which are pure falsehood—a form of nonsense and delirium, without any foundation in the Sharīʿah, the intellect, or reality?! Undoubtedly, whoever occupies himself with such matters has erred greatly, assumed knowledge of what he does not know, and fallen into manifest humiliation.…
BENEFIT 500: Busying Oneself with The Studies of Numerical & Scientific Miracles in The Qur'ān
Question: What is your advice to those who engage in what is called “numerical miracles” (Iʿjāz ʿAdadī), claiming to belong to Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jamāʿah, and asserting that they are defending the Qur'ān against those who attack it and allege deficiencies within it?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
Our advice to such a person is that he should devote himself to the study of the sciences of the Qur'ān and…
BENEFIT 499: Ruling on Economic Partnerships Between Muslim and Kuffār States
Question: What is the ruling on the economic partnership that Muhammad bin Salman concluded with U.S. President Trump?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:
There is no harm in it. Currently, such economic partnerships between a Muslim country and a Kāfir country are commonplace. May Allāh support the state of Tawhid with truth, grant it success in serving Islam and its people, and strengthen the religion…
Question: Regarding the war in Sudan, who is in the right: the Sudanese army under the leadership of Burhan, or the Rapid Support Forces under the leadership of Hemedti?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar’abi ḥafidhahullāh:

The Duty to Share the Message
One of the main things that should encourage a Muslim to invite others to Islam is to realise that the person in front of you — the driver, the house worker, the café employee, or the person sitting next to you on a plane — might never meet you again.
If you think about it, this person might die without knowing Islam and end up in the Fire. On the Day of Judgment, he might stand…
A False Victory Over the Rubble of Gaza
No sooner had the dust of battle begun to clear from Gaza than the Ikhwani media machine sprang into action at full throttle, manufacturing a false victory atop the city’s ruins and the torn bodies of its children. They cared little for the scale of the tragedy or the horror of the catastrophe; what occupied them was the safety of the leaders in the trenches and the…
An Appeal for Calm and Patience Amid the Unrest in Morocco
The brother asks: “Do you have any advice for our brothers in Morocco, where there are demonstrations, incitement, and acts of arson in the streets, to the extent that some essential affairs of the people have been disrupted?”
Sheikh Yahya ḥafidhahullāh:
These demonstrations are ḥarām. Much has already been said regarding their harms—the trials and turmoil they cause, the division among Muslims, the aggression,…
