Seven in the Shade of Allah by Ustadh Abu Ishaaq Nadeem - Jumu'ah Khutba 18/07/25

A Lecture concerning the life of the Great Shaikh Rabee Ibn Haadi al Madkhali - Part 2

Al 'Allaamah Shaikh Rabee - His Life and Legacy (Part 2)

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.
