The Meaning, Virtue & Excellence Of Islam - Abu Inaayah Seif Ad Deen

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.

Enter Into Islam Wholeheartedly - Abu Ukkashah Abdul Hakeem - Manchester

The Status of the Sunnah in Islaam
• The terms/words sunnah, Salafi, etc. are all praiseworthy

• 2 types of sinners
• The Sinner who is aware the he is sinful
• This individual commits sins while knowing himself to be sinful, and is under the threat of punishment
• This is because he is opposing the command of Allah, and the Sunnah of the Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam)
• This individual may be led to success through Tawbah/Repentance
• The other is the sinner who leaves off the Sunnah due to doubts
• This individual is considered to be from the people of desires and they are worse than the first, as he will believe he is upon the truth and will not repent/make Tawbah


• You must question the deeds that you have put forth
• The Sunnah is of great value, like treasure is in a worldly sense, so one must protect it
• The Companions were the original protectors of the Sunnah, and they are all trustworthy
• People become higher in our view when they are praised by scholars and trustworthy people, so what about the Companions, who were praised by Allah in multiple places in the Qur’ān
• Those who question the character about the Companions are doing so in order to bring about doubts about the Sunnah
• Anas Ibn Mālik narrated little from the Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) out of fear of narrating that which is not from the Sunnah, and he was from the Mukthireen (Those who narrated the most)

• Narration: “Whoever lies about me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the fire.”
• The Companions didn’t just narrate whatever they heard, unlike many speakers today
• People have been afflicted by their desire for fame/leadership, so they speak without confirming that they are narrating from the Sunnah
• That which you narrate can be a means for someone’s guidance/salvation, so be sure of it!
• Study/Revision of the Hadith brings it to life


• The Messenger of Allah (sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam) said, “There will not cease to be a group of my Ummah uppermost upon the truth. They will not be harmed by those who forsake them, until Allah’s affair comes to pass and they are uppermost.” [Reported by Muslim]’

• The people of Hadith are the people who will be saved from the misguides and the fire, so upon you is to be amongst them, therefore study:
• The Book of Allah
• The Sunnah
• The lives of the companions
• The Tābi’een
• The Tābi Tābi’een
• The A’Imma (Scholars upon the Sunnah, the Muhaddithīn, Mufassirīn, etc.)
• Within all of this revelation and commentary of it, is a means for a person’s Istiqāma
