Establishing a Masjid | Question posed to Sheikh Muhammad Ba Jammāl ḥafidahullāh
Question:
السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
Honourable Sheikh, we pray that you are in good health, well-being, and strong faith. We have some important questions and seek your guidance and advice.
As you know, Ahlus-Sunnah are in great need, with no aid but Allāh. In London, the cost of purchasing a building and establishing a masjid is extremely high. We are currently raising funds to buy a property to convert…
There is a clear distinction between these individuals and those who engage in good intercession. These groups have dedicated themselves entirely to fundraising, making it their profession. They estab
In contrast, a person who truly desires to do good may engage in intercession for a charitable cause. If such a person intervenes, it remains within the scope of permissible good intercession. However, these organisations have turned into professional solicitors, persistently appealing to merchants—whether generous or reluctant. They have become adept at profiling wealthy individuals and assessing their financial…
And whoever initiates a bad practice will bear its sin and the sin of those who follow it without reducing their burden in the slightest.'" [Muslim]
This incident demonstrates both good intercession and encouragement of charity. The Prophet ﷺ saw people in need and urged his companions to give charity. This was a form of good intercession, as he mediated on behalf of the needy and encouraged generosity.
However, Hizbi groups exploit such religious texts to collect vast amounts of money under false pretenses, claiming to support charitable causes such as…
BENEFIT 343: The difference between prohibited begging, good intercession, and encouragement of charity
Question:
During the blessed month of Ramaḍhān, we observe many Hizbees exploiting this sacred time for begging under the pretext of inviting to Islam and expanding masājid. They often mislead people by citing religious texts that encourage charity and good intercession. Could you clarify the differences between these three concepts: prohibited begging, good intercession, and encouragement of charity?

‏الرد على بعض شبه الإخوان المسلمون حول البيعة الحزبية
يقول السائل: أُشِكَلَ عَلَيَّ أمرٌ نرجو منكم حله وبيان الحق فيه:
1- وهو كيف يقال: إِنَّ البيعة السرية لدى الإخوان بدعة، وقد كان النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يأخذ البيعة على أصحابه، فهي على ذلك سنة متبعة، ولماذا تذمون السرية وما بدأت الدعوة الإسلامية في مكة إلا سرًّا.
2- يقول: لماذا يكون العمل للإسلام والدعوة السلفية بطريقة منتظمة متقنة تنظيما أو حركة حزبية.
3- يقول: الهدف هو نشر الدعوة وإن…
Importance of Reading Books on Rudood for Students of Knowledge
Scholars of the Ahlus-Sunnah strongly recommend reading books that refute false beliefs and misguided ideologies. These works contain invaluable knowledge, clarifications of evidentiary reasoning, and rebuttals to the misconceptions propagated by those who deviate from the truth—insights that are often unavailable in other books. Engaging with such literature:
> sharpens the intellect,
> strengthens one's…
"Whoever considers themselves a Shafi'ee must adopt the creed of Imam Ash-Shafi'ee. His creed was not just Salafi; rather, he was the Imam of Ahlus-Sunnah in his time. Sheikh Abdul Khaliq Al-’Imad has authored a book titled "The Opposition of the Shafi'iyyah to Ash-Shafi'i" for those who wish to benefit from it.
Preserve the Dignity of the Da'wah & Avoid Turning It into a means of Entertainment
Sheikh Salih Al-Fawzan (may Allāh preserve him) said:
«الدعوة إلى الله ليست ضحكًا ولا مزحاً ولا ترفيها، إنما الدعوة إلى الله صدق وجدٌ ومجالس ذكر، وآيات وأحاديث وذكر الجنة والنار، وأما استعمال التراهات والأضاحيك والسفاهات هذه لا تجوز في مجالس الذكر ولا تجوز في المساجد بصفة خاصة لا تليق بمجالس الذكر ولا يجوز أن تُنسب إلى الدعوة إلى الله عز وجل»
"Calling to Allāh is not about laughter, joking, or entertainment.…

The Virtue of Cautioning Others Against Mistakes
Question: May Allāh reward you with goodness. A questioner asks: Is it appropriate for a student of knowledge to track the mistakes of certain preachers, compile them, and release them in recordings—dedicating a separate recording to each preacher to highlight their mistakes and lapses? Is this considered a correct approach?

BENEFIT 342: A Rafidhi who invited others to Rafdh, yet they accepted his narrations?!
Adh-Dhahabi rahimahullah said:
"One may ask: How is it permissible to consider a deviant person trustworthy, when trustworthiness entails integrity and precision? How can someone who adheres to innovation be deemed just?
The response is that innovation is of two types:
The first is a minor innovation, such as moderate…

These terms may be unfamiliar to those who have not encountered them before. In this lecture, we clarify that these concepts are not new; rather, what is new is the lack of awareness or misunderstanding surrounding them.
SUMMARY:

Fear of Showing Off (Riyā') and the Deception of Shayṭān
Sheikh Fatḥ Al-Qadasi ḥafidhahullāh says:
Fear of riyā' is one of the gateways through which Shayṭān leads people away from righteousness. He instills in you the fear of riyā' to prevent you from performing good deeds, ultimately depriving you of many acts of worship.
If you are encouraged to give charity, you might refuse, saying, "I fear riyā'." If you are asked to join the congregation and stand in the first…

One of the key objectives is to enhance our Arabic reading skills, broaden our vocabulary. and deepen our understanding of how fitnah unfolds—so we can avoid repeating the same mistakes.
I’d like to share these beautiful lines of poetry from Sheikh Abu Amr’s introduction (Part 2 of the series).
