Seeking Knowledge for Actions -  Shaykh Abdulilah Lahmami

[1997] Words Of Wisdom To The West - By 'Allāmah 'Ubaīd Ibn 'Abdillah Ibn Sullaīmān Al-Jābirī رحمه الله - Translated by Abu Hakeem Bilāl ibn Aḥmad Davis.

This is a tremendous question and answers session with 'Allāmah 'Ubaīd Ibn 'Abdillah Ibn Sullaīmān Al-Jābirī رحمه الله dating back to the 1990's wherein he clarifies how Ahlus-Sunnah are to establish the correct Manhaj and 'Aqīdah. This was a foundational lecture in its time and remains so today. It is translated by Abu Hakeem Bilāl ibn Aḥmad Davis حفظه الله. A nice point where Shaikh Ubaid is informed that there are 300 or so Salafis in Birmingham (in 1997). Now in 2022, there are thousands Alḥamdulillah! May Allāh have mercy upon our Shaykh and grant him the highest level of Paradise.

- The importance of purifying the dīn from anything that is foreign to it.
- Allāh’s command to establish the dīn.
- Taking affairs to the ‘ulamā when disputation occurs.

Questions:
1. What are the signs that enable one to distinguish the Salafī from the one who is upon a methodology contrary to that? [00:06:43]
2. Yā Shaykh, after that which occurred in Britain between the Salafīs, there came to us clarification from the likes of yourself and from some of our ‘ulamā here in Saudi Arabia and in other than this country. But unfortunately, there are some individuals who do not like this and what it necessitates by way of them having to change their methodology and position. So what is your advice O Shaykh, to us and to them? [00:14:40]
3. What is the conclusive word in regards to naming oneself Salafī? Because many still do not see that one should do so. [00:26:46]
4. What is our position as it relates to examining the people about their manhaj, and what are the limits in that regard? [00:33:24]
5. How do we affirm the reality of the claim of a person who says he has returned to the manhaj of the Salaf after he was upon other than that? [00:41:42]
6. Yā Shaykh, there are some who call the youth to cooperating with and benefitting from misguided and astray individuals and organisations who call to Ḥizbiyyah. Is the one who warns from the likes of this individual to be considered as a person who divides the people? [00:45:36]
7. Shaykh, upon this point, there are those who say that there is a difference between these groups in the Arab lands and these groups in the likes of Britain, America and Europe. Is this categorisation correct? [00:49:08]
8. Shaykh, in our country there are some deviant groups who when we warn against their callers and their scholars, they want to debate with us and occasionally want to take it to violence. And indeed we are ready for that*, but what is our position as it relates to the Sharī’ah in this regard? [53:41] 
*The mention that we are ready for the violence they want to bring to us is extremely important in regards to how the Shaykh may answer the question.
9. Occasionally, when we have circles [of knowledge] some of the people may want the ḥaqq but have previously sat with these individuals and therefore ask about their Shaykhs and mention them by name. [They ask] for instance, should we sit with Shaykh such-and-such or Shaykh so-and-so? So how do we answer them? [01:06:10]
10. Yā Shaykh, when that which took place between the Salafīs in Britain took place, there were some individuals from the callers who were upon other than this manhaj or have erred in this regard. They did not agree with the clarification that came to us from the scholars and wished to stay upon that which they were upon. So when they took that way, a lot of youth followed them. And if the scholars were in agreement regarding an issue, except for one or two scholars, we found them seeking out those scholars who shared their opinion. So what is your advice yā Shaykh? [01:12:59]

التحذير من أخطاء تتعلق بالعقيدة 1| محاضرة لفضيلة الشيخ أحمد بازمول 40

A Muslim will be tested in this world, will he follow Allah and His Messenger or will he follow his desires? This lecture deals with the sources of Islamic knowledge, where we should obtain our religion from and how to recognise those we should avoid. One of the early scholars said: "Indeed this knowledge is your religion. So look to whom you take your religion from"

From the wisdom of Allaah, the all wise and all knowing, was that He created Adam and Eve and placed them in Jannah. Allaah tested and trialled Adam and Eve in Jannah because they were created with the life of this world, a life that is a test to see if one will follow the Messengers, carrying out the commandments, staying away from the prohibitions, etc. Whilst in this life, there will be test and trials for the slaves.

The narrations telling us that there will be much differing after the Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam are many in number. The saved sect are clearly defined for us. Those who are upon what the Prophet and his companions were upon. So we must follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet with the understanding of the companions.

We do not make eloquent speech the criterion in determining who to take knowledge from.

The Prophet Sallallaahu Alayhi Wa Sallam said:

"A man is upon the religion of his close companion, so look to whom you take as a close companion"

Muhammad ibn Sireen:

"Indeed this knowledge is your religion. So look to whom you take your religion from"

Benefits from “The book of knowledge by Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen”

We covered:

The importance of Taqwa

-	It is the advice given to the first and to the last “We have recommended to the people of the Scripture before you, and to you (O Muslims) that you (all) fear Allah, and keep your duty to Him, 4:131”
-	The prophet, may Allah raise his rank and status said: “Fear Allah wherever you are”
-	The Salaf used to advice with this often
-	The one who has Taqwa will be protected by Allah
-	Know the closeness of Allah to us (by his knowledge) and his ability over us “And We are nearer to him than his jugular vein (by Our Knowledge)” 50:15
-	Taqwa is mentioned in the Qur’an alongside piety – when they are mentioned together piety refers to fulfilling good deeds and Taqwa refers to staying away from evil. When Taqwa is mentioned on its own it refers to both

“O you who believe! If you obey and fear Allah, He will grant you Furqan a criterion, and will expiate for you your sins, and forgive you, and Allah is the Owner of the Great Bounty” 8:29

Three benefits from this verse for the one who has Taqwa:
1.	Allah will make knowledge easy for him. He will open up doors to knowledge for him, improve his memory and give him strong understanding. Allah gives the one with Taqwa, Firaasah, the ability to have deep understanding and to distinguish between the people
2.	Allah will expiate his sins, and this also comes from doing righteous deeds. Eg the “an umrah to an umrah is an expiation to the sins [that have been committed] in between”. Allah makes righteous deeds easy for him. 
3.	Allah will make tawbah, repentance, easy for him. This is from the blessings upon a servant. “Shaitan (Satan) wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants (alcoholic drinks) and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allah and from As-Salat (the prayer). So, will you not then abstain?” 5:91

Be continuous and consistent in studying. He should strive in learning and being patient. He should protect what the learnt (by reviewing). Knowledge is not gained with a body that is relaxed. He should stay away from anything that busies him from seeking knowledge. 

Ibn Abbaas was asked, how did you gain knowledge: “with a tongue that will ask, a heart that attentively understands and a body that does not rest”, in another narration he said“if I know of a hadith that another companion has, I will go to his door, and I will wait there and the wind will blow the dust onto me and when he comes out, he would say [to me] O cousin of the messenger, may Allah raise his rank and status, why did you come? Why did you not call me and I would come to you. He responded “I am more in right to come to you” [to seek knowledge]. He was humble in learning knowledge, and Allah raised him. The prophet said, whoever humbles himself to Allah, He will raise him”. 

Imaam Sa’di mentioned that the scholar of Arabic language, Imaam kasaai’ee told him he studied Arabic grammar but was unable to grasp it in the beginning. He said I saw an ant, carrying up a wall and each time it goes up, it dropped its food. It was striving to reach its objective. He then strove hard and attained the knowledge. 
A person should strive to memorise and revise what he has read. “Knowledge is prey and writing protects it. So protect your benefit by tying the rope [write and memorise it]”

"for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance, and bestows on them their piety" 47:17

One should stick to the scholars and benefit from them. Shaykh Rabee said that 1 hour with a scholar is better than many hours of research. Shaykh ibn Uthaymeen said the student of knowledge should gain knowledge from one shaykh to begin and then move on to the next scholar. The scholars from the Salaf would benefit from the scholars in their areas and then move on to other areas. 
Dr Abdulilah Lahmami advised the attendees that this if from the best books to study.
