Islam Will Never Change

[LESSON SEVEN] Explanation of The Three Fundamental Principles – By Abu Idrees Muhammad Khān حفظه الله. Lesson series at Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah, Aston, Birmingham, UK.

– Reflections from the Hadīth of the five things before five: “Take advantage of your youth before your old age, your health before your sickness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before you are preoccupied, your life before death.” [Ṣaḥiḥ Al-Jām’ī 1077]
– Whoever is neglectful in doing actions during their youth, good health, in riches, free time and during their life then he will not be able to do it in his old age, sickness, poverty, preoccupation and at time of death.
– Reflections from the Hadīth: There are two blessings that many people neglect - good health and free time


– Explanation: "Patiently encountering the harms along the way..."
– Shaykh Zayd Madhkhalī:
Beautiful explanation of the following three categories of patience:
1. Patience upon the obedience of Allah
2. Patience upon staying away from the disobedience of Allah
– Different types of punishment that preceded for the nations previously
3. Patience upon what Allah has decreed
– Principle: whether you understand the trial, you must remain patient upon the decree.
– Shaykh Fawzan:
Principle regarding sins: if you err then you must return back to the truth if you are the one that is wrong. If you are a person on truth and you did not err then you must exercise patience, seeking the reward of Allah and reflect upon the way of the Prophets and their patience, awaiting the aid of Allah.
– Shaykh Uthaymīn:
Statement from Ibnul Qayyim regarding: Striving against oneself and its levels:
1. Strive to learn guidance and the true religion
2. Strive to act upon the knowledge that you have gained.
Principle: if you can’t help yourself, you will not be able to help others. Rectifying yourself will aid others.
3. Strive to call to the way of Allah and teach those who aren’t aware of it.
4. Strive to remain patient with those around him.
– If a person acts upon these four levels then they will be Rabbaniyoon
– Shaykh Zayd al Madhkhali:
Beautiful Benefit regarding Surah Al-Asr explaining those who are the elite and the saved people.
