Enter into Islam Wholeheartedly — Abū Ukkāshah ‘Abdul Hakeem

• O you who believe! Enter perfectly in Islam and follow not the footsteps of Shaitan. Verily! He is to you a plain enemy. [Sūrah al-Baqarah, 208]

— Imām as-Si’dī about entering Islām fully and not obeying lowly desires. 

• All the Prophets and Messengers called to the worship of Allaah and staying away from worshipping besides Him.

 
• O you who believe! Answer Allah and (His) Messenger when he calls you to that which will give you life [Sūrah al-Anfāl, 24]

— Benefits mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim about this ayah. 

• Shaykh al-Fawzān on the musāra’ah, constant war, between a person and Shaytaan; ends only when the both feet of a person in Paradise.

• Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Sūrah āl-Imrān, 19]

— Benefits mentioned by Ibn Kathīr about this ayah. 

• The two types of Ummah — ar-Risaalah and al-Ijaabah.

• The story of the Jewish boy on his  deathbed and tears of the Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم.

• Ibn al-Qayyim on the 4 Pillars of disbelief — Kibr, Ghibtah, Ghadab and Shahwah. 

• Ibrāhīm and Ya’qūb عليهما السلام advising their children to enter the religion wholeheartedly. 

• When Ibrāhīm was commanded to sacrifice his son Ismā’īl عليهما السلام. Details of the submission of Ibrāhīm compared to the much lesser submission we have to make.

• How quick the Companions were to submit; response of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه when the verse was revealed to abandon intoxicants.

• Intoxicants and the 10 cursed regarding them. Gambling and it’s dangers.

• Ā’ishah رضي الله عنها about how the Muhājirāt responded when the āyāt about Khimār/Hijāb were revealed.

Advices on how to enter Islām wholeheartedly:

• Being humble upon the truth when it comes to you. 

• If sincere advice comes from a person who is not sincere, then accept it. Example of Bilqīs, the queen of Sheeba. And Mūsā and Hārūn عليهما السلام and sorcerers.

• Having certainty in resurrection, accountability and reward. Example of man in Sūrah Kahf who did not believe his garden would perish or that the Hour would be established.

• Not to constantly look to this worldly life, nor to be amazed by it. Brief enjoyments of this world and what they consist of. 

• To fear the misguidance after guidance. Du’ā of Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when he would leave his home.

• To fear an evil end. What leads to an evil end, mentioned by Ibn Rajab.

• To understand the blessing of this religion. Narration of ‘Umar رضي الله عنه that Allaah ennobled us through Islaam. 

— Narration of Ibn al-Mubārak that dying upon the Sunnah is a miracle - and how this applies more in this time.

• To be different, distinct and oppose the Mushrikeen and open sinners who will be fuel for the hell fire. Narration about Muslims following the Jews and Christians.

• To turn to the Book of Allaah and stay away from the Quraan of the Shaytaan. Ibn al-Qayyim on the specific effects of music, how it cannot combine in a single heart with love of the Book of Allaah and how it is comparable to intoxicants.

• To never stop the fight with Shaytaan. Do not say “eventually” you will do good deeds because that day may not come. Ibn al-Qayyim on how if Shaytaan is able to misguide a person when they are at their strongest in terms of senses and faculties, so what about at point of death?

• To return back to our lord like a slave running back to obedience of his master, and not be the captive of our desires. 

• To make our tongue moist with the remembrance of Allaah and the limbs active in the obedience of Allaah.

Remain Steadfast upon Calling to the Truth - Nizār ibn Hāshim al-Sudānī

[Lesson Nine | 13/09/2025] Selected Benefits from Madārij Al-Sālikīn of Imām Ibn Al-Qayyim رحمه الله– By Shaykh Abu ‘Iyaad Amjad Rafīq حفظه الله. Monthly class at Masjid Salafi, Small Heath, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this lesson:

- Recap of the previous lesson.
- The four categories of people as it relates to the actualisation of ‘ibādah and isti’ānah:
- 1. Those who worship Allāh (‘ibādah) and seek His aid (isti’ānah) in doing so. 
- The most excellent and beneficial type of supplication to Allāh. 
- The greatest of gifts a person can be granted. 
- An observation by Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) regarding the thing that all of the reported supplications revolve around. 
- Ibn Taymiyyah’s (رحمه الله) reflection on what he found to be the most beneficial supplication. 
- 2. Those who turn away from worshipping Allāh and seeking His aid.
- The reason they ask of Allāh, if they were to do so. 
- Proof that Allāh gives to even the one most hated to Him. 
- The one who is made distant from Allāh. 
- Clarification that Allāh’s responding and giving or not responding and withholding has no connection to the honour or disgrace of a servant. 
- The importance of istikhārah. 
- “As for man, when his Lord tries him by giving him honour and bounties, then he says (in exultation): ‘My Lord has honoured me.’ But when He tries him by straitening his means of life, he says: ‘My Lord has humiliated me!’” [Sūrah al-Fajr 89:15-16]
- True honour, and the sign of true humiliation. 
- 3. Those who worship Allāh but do not seek His aid in establishing that worship. 
- The two groups of people within this category:
- 3.1. The Qadariyyah/Mu’tazilah
- How their deviant belief that man creates his own actions prevents them from seeking Allāh’s aid in worship. 
- 3.2. The Jabariyyah
- What is necessitated by their belief, and how it impairs their worship. 
- Practical examples that highlight how an incorrect belief can be detrimental to a person’s worship and nearness to Allāh. 
- The meaning of Tawakkul, and a similitude that captures the manner in which the servant should depend upon his Lord. 
- “And whosoever puts his trust in Allāh, then He will suffice him.” [Sūrah aṭ-Ṭalāq 65:3]
- 4. Those who seek Allāh’s aid (in order to achieve their worldly objectives) but do not worship Him. 
- Affairs given to both the righteous and sinful. 
- The most ignorant and distant people from knowing Allāh and His religion. 
- The two foundational principles required to actualise إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ. 
- The four categories of people in regard to these two foundations:
- 1. Those who combine ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah. 
- Affairs that are not from sincerity. 
- A beautiful similitude regarding how the people of ikhlāṣ and mutāba’ah view those around them. 
- Fuḍayl b. ‘Iyāḍ (رحمه الله) on the meaning of, “Who has created death and life, that He may test you which of you is best in deed.” [Sūrah al-Mulk 67:2]
- “So whoever hopes for the Meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as a partner in the worship of his Lord." [Sūrah al-Kahf 18:110]
