Khutbah: Bring Yourself to Account Before You are Taken to Account"

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

Special Lecture at Masjid al-Furqān (TROID) discussing: 
(1) The importance of memorizing knowledge
(2) Astonishing stories from the Salaf and scholars
(3) The correct method of memorization
(4)The tools and means that strengthen retention

Memorization of Knowledge - Muḥammad Shākir al-Afghānī

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.
