وهذا هو الذي كان أئمة أهل السنة يوصون به من عدم غشيان المبتدعة في مجالسهم ولا مخالطتهم، بل هجرهم بالكلام، وهجرانهم بالأبدان، حتى تخمد بدعهم، وحتى لا ينتشر شرهم... ونلاحظ اليوم أنه في هذه المسألة ترك كثير هذا الأصل، فكثير من الناس يخالط المبتدعة ولا يهجرهم لحجج شتى: إما دنيوية، وإما دعوية، أو دينية، وهذا مما ينبغي التنبه له والتحذير منه؛ لأن هجران أهل البدع متعين، قلا تجوز مخالطتهم بدعوى أن ذلك للدعوة، ولا تجوز…

BENEFIT 63: Example of Heedlessness in Da'wah A daa'ee who ascribes to Salafiyyah said: “If I was invited by a Shī’ah masjid or a masjid that commits Shirk, Wallahi (I swear by Allah) I'm going to do sadjah Ash-Shukr (prostrate to Allāh in thanks) that He has now given me an opportunity to go to these people and maybe call to Allāh and the Messenger of Allāh's Sunnah and also what the Companions were upon. As long…

27. Lack of effort & sacrifice Highlight: After the help of Allah, Ahlus-Sunnah have no one to assist them save the sincere good-doers who willingly aid the Da'wah without placing any conditions. Ahlus-Sunnah are the most abstinent and the most chaste when it comes to people's wealth and possessions. If they have enough to get by they suffice with that, and if they don't have enough they exercise patience...So it…

14. Extremism (Ghuluww) Highlight: Essentially, those who go to extremes in affairs of the Deen falsely attribute this extremism to the Deen while the Deen is free from that, hence they end up speaking about Allah without knowledge which is a major sin. And in most cases they cannot keep up with their extremism, so they end up falling off. 15. Watering down (Tamayyu') Highlight: The mumayyi' is the one who…

BENEFIT 62: Obstacles in the path of the Salafi Da'wah The following points have been summarised from Sheikh Abu Amr's book: عوائق الدعوة السلفية wherein he mentions 28 obstacles along with their evidences. These obstacles are as follows: 1. Lack of or deficiency in sincerity Highlight: Whoever is truthful with Allah and works righteous deeds for the sake of Allah will attain success, whether today, tomorrow or…

Obstacles (in the path) of the Salafi Da'wah | by Sheikh Abu Amr Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah A book that should be read by every Salafi Daa'ee! If unable to read cover to cover, then at least be aware of these obstacles.

▪️The Mumayyi' is one who waters down the Truth. Shaykh Abu Amr Al-Hajoori hafidhahullah said: "The mumayyi' is the one who does not take matters with determination and firm resolve, rather they break away infront of him while his goal is to please this one and not to anger that one. As a result, his da'wah goes to waste and it becomes futile due to him resigning from speaking the truth, or committing sins, and…

Shaykh Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: "The people of innovation in reality are not upon ijtihaad, because the person of Ijtihaad is one who is free from following his desires; he does not want anything except what is indicated by the Qur'aan and Sunnah, whereas we know that the people of innovation do not want that." [Sharhu Nathmul Waraqaat, page 207- 208, print: al-Ansaar] Similarly, Shaykh Zaid Al-Madkhali…

Shaykh Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: "Categorising the religion into usool and furoo' is an innovation, as has been proven by Shaykhul Islaam…for this reason, we say the basis of categorising the religion into usool and furoo' is not correct, nor is it known from the Book, Sunnah and the statements of the Sahaabah and Taab'een. However, we say - according to those who see this (categorisation) - that the person who…

Shaykh al-Uthaymeen rahimahullah said: "This is an issue that some of the students of knowledge are heedless of, they say he is upon Ijtihaad and that he has a reward for his Ijtihaad, so we say yes! This is in relation to him (the scholar), as for you then if it becomes clear to you (that he was mistaken) then it is Waajib to oppose him." [Sharh on Sharhus Sunnah, page 147-148, print: ar-Rushd] Likewise, Imaam…

▪️Ijtihaad literally is to strive and exert one's effort to reach the truth. Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah said: "What's correct is that issues of Ijtihaad are issues where there is no proofs clearly obliging one to act upon that, such as a saheeh hadeeth which has nothing opposing it from its like, thus it becomes permissible to excercise Ijtihaad therein due to the proofs being similar (in type)…

BENEFIT 61: Selected benefits from Sheikh Jum'aan's lesson on Bukhari Bukhari said [Sahih al-Bukhari, hadith 3109]: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ قَدَحَ، النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم انْكَسَرَ، فَاتَّخَذَ مَكَانَ الشَّعْبِ سِلْسِلَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ‏.‏ قَالَ عَاصِمٌ رَأَيْتُ الْقَدَحَ وَشَرِبْتُ فِيهِ‏.‏"…

BENEFIT 60: Don't be insensitive The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever sees an afflicted person then says: ((الحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا)). 'All praise is due to Allāh who saved me from that which He has afflicted you with, and blessed me greatly over many of those whom He has created,' - he will not be struck by that…

BENEFIT 59: !أتصبرون؟؟ Sometimes the most difficult part in dealing with afflictions is not the affliction itself, rather the most difficult part is the emotional burden of having to cope with distasteful and insensitive remarks from some individuals. This is the real test! { وَجَعَلۡنَا بَعۡضَكُمۡ لِبَعۡضࣲ فِتۡنَةً أَتَصۡبِرُونَ} "We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience?" [Surah…

-> I must not become lax with my morning and evening Adhkaars!! It's very likely that afflictions occur on days when we miss our Adh-kaar. Abaan ibn Uthman said: “I heard Uthman ibn `Affan radhiyallahu anhu saying: ‘The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There is no worshiper who says, in the morning of every day, and the evening of every night: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ…

BENEFIT 58: Consoling one's heart in times of trial Shaytan wants us to be sad and depressed. In fact, he strives to cause us grief as Allah said: {لِیَحۡزُنَ ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا} "...in order that he may cause grief to the believers." [Surah Al-Mujādilah: 10] But why? What does he get out of it? Have you not seen how easy it is for us to utter statements which fall contrary to the Sharee’ah when we are sad…

As a man, when you step out of your home, you will come across two kinds of women. The 1st: A woman who has been afflicted with the same ailment as that of the wife of Al-’Azīz, chief minister of Egypt. So, you would find her having beautified and perfumed herself, as if she were saying to you: "هيت لك " (Come to me, O you !) [Sūrah Yūsuf - 23] The 2nd: A women who conceals her beauty and adorns proper clothing…
