Part 2 Al-‘Allāmah Rabee’ on the Methodology of Giving Da’wah By Abu Khadeejah

Shaykh Abū ʿIyāḍ Amjad Rafīq summarises key points from the works of al-ʿAllāmah Rabī b. Hādī al-Madkhalī (raḥimahullah) namely: The Methodology of the Prophets in Calling to Allāh. The three-part lecture series hones in on five key points that define the true callers to Islām: 

1. They adhere to the methodology of the prophets in da'wah
2. They call to adherence to the Book and the Sunnah connecting People to its evidences 
3. They follow the sunnah and adhering to the jamāʿah (in the correct sense) and they warn against splitting and differing
4. They enjoin the good and prohibiting the evil 
5. They refute the opposers to this way

Distinguishing Principles of the Salafī Daʿwah and Manhaj 1/3 - Abū ʿIyāḍ

When Knowledge is Taken Away... 

Less than a month after the passing of the great Imām Rabīʿ ibn Hādī رحمه الله, we revisit his powerful explanation of the Prophet’s ﷺ ḥadīth on how knowledge disappears, not by being forgotten, but by the death of the scholars.

This is a must-watch reflection on:
	•	The meaning of this life-changing narration
	•	Why the loss of a scholar shakes the Ummah
	•	Shaykh Rabīʿ’s lasting impact on the Salafī daʿwah

May Allāh have mercy on our Shaykh, forgive him, and grant him the highest rank in al-Firdaws.

More Notes available on www.learnaboutislam.co.uk

What is Salafiyyah?

It is the way Messenger of Allah and the companions and to call to it with wisdom and call to that which is best while striving oneself in acting upon what he calls others to.
It is the balanced middle way

“Thus We have made you, a balanced nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger be a witness over you.” 2:143

Shaykh Fawzan said the word Salafi does cause a split, between the Salafis who are upon the way of the Salaf (the Messenger of Allah, his companions and those who followed them) and the people of innovation and misguidance. This is a praiseworthy distinction. 
“And I followed the religion of my fathers Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Ya’qoob, it is not for us to associate anything as partner with Allah” (12:38). 

We ask Allah to make us from those upon the Madhab of the Salaf.
We do not just gather people, but we call them to the book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, in accordance to the undersanding of the Salaf and the sound creed.

“And the first to embrace Islam of the Muhajirun and the Ansar and also those who followed them exactly (in Faith). Allah is well-pleased with them as they are well-pleased with Him. He has prepared for them Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), to dwell therein forever. That is the supreme success.” 9:100
“ihsaan” in this verse means “itqaan” means being precise in following them and reference to those who follow them in knowledge and action. So it is upon you to learn the madhab of the salaf and so you can hold fast on to it.
