From Abū ‘Abdur-Raḥmān ‘Abdullāh b. ‘Umar b. al-Khaṭṭāb (رضى الله عنهما) who said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying, ‘Islām is built upon five (pillars): The testimony that none has the right to be worshipped (in truth) but Allāh and that Muḥammad is the Messenger of Allāh, establishing the (daily) prayer(s), giving the zakāh, pilgrimage to the house and fasting in Ramaḍān.’” [Related by al-Bukhārī and Muslim]

15 Forty Hadith of Nawawi By Abu Idrees

Al-Huda Conference 2025 | Shaykh Abu Khadeejah - Explanation of the Hadith "...keep to my sunnah..."

Question to Shaykh Anwar Wright:  In the city of Vancouver, Canada, there are a number of graduates from the Islamic universities in Saudi Arabia. In some cases, they have set up classes in centres and masjids not known for salafiyyah. Some of the youth who are new to salafiyyah have gathered around them. However, they have some questions about this. When they ask these individuals what scholars they take from, they will mention some of the kibar (major scholars). When it comes to teaching they will teach from popular books of aqidah (i.e. Kitāb al-Tawḥīd, Ṣifah Ṣalāt al-Nabī etc.). However, in some cases, if they are asked about Salafis who preceded them (in the daʿwah), like when asked about Salafi Publications they give obscure answers such as, “we do not know anything bad of them" or when asked about TROID (which has been present in Canada for 27 years), they say: “I’m not aware of them”. What is your advice to the young Salafi who is trying to ascertain who to take knowledge from in the West?
