We Don't Deserve Better By Umar Quinn

Loving for the Sake of Allah and Holding Firm to the Rope of Allah | By Abu Inayah Seif

[02/05/2025] Honesty is an Obligation and Lying is Ḥaram - By Abu Fuḍayl ‘Abdur Raqīb حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, Aston, Birmingham, UK.



Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

– Ṣidq (Truthfulness): The Characteristic of a Believer and Its Opposite — Lying.

– “O you who believe! Be conscious of Allāh, and be with those who are true in words and deeds.” (Sūrat al-Tawbah 9:119)

– Truthfulness emanates from the heart and manifests on the tongue and the limbs.

– “If they had been true to Allāh, that would have been better for them.”

– It is upon you to cling to the truth, for truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise.

– Beware and stay away from lying, as it leads to immoral and wicked behavior, and that leads to the Fire.

– Leave that which causes you to doubt for that which does not cause you to doubt.

– Truthfulness leads to tranquility.

– This characteristic is appreciated by everyone, while lying is hated by all.

– Reflect on the reward that Allāh has prepared for the truthful believers — both men and women.

– Indeed, your Lord has forbidden immorality — both what is apparent and what is hidden — along with sins and oppressive behavior without due right, and associating partners with Allāh for which He has given no authority.

– A statement of Ibn al-Qayyim regarding the most heinous of sins.

– The severity of lying against others and its consequences.

Advices Regarding the Issue of Plural Marriage--Raha Batts

[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]
