Shaykh Rabīʿ ibn Hādī’ al-Madkhalī’s Advice to the Students of Knowledge - Abū Khadījah

[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]

9 Madārij As Salikīn By Abu Iyaad 13092025

[03/10/2025] Advice and Warning to Those Who Find it Difficult to Practice Their Religion - Sh Abu Idrees Muhammad Khān حفظه الله. Khuṭbah at Masjid Salafi, Small Heath, Birmingham, UK.

Some points discussed during this Khuṭbah:

- A heavy topic that should strengthen our resolve to be better Muslims. 

- Five instances when the people will regret and beg Allāh to be returned to the dunyā:

- 1. At the approach of death

- “And spend [in the way of Allāh] from what We have provided you before death approaches one of you and he says, ‘My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.’ But never will Allāh delay a soul when its time has come. And Allāh is Acquainted with what you do.” [Sūrah al-Munafiqūn 63:10-11]

- “Until, when death comes to one of them (those who join partners with Allāh), he says, ‘My Lord! Send me back, so that I may do good in that which I have left behind!’ No! It is but a word that he speaks, and behind them is barzakh (a barrier) until the Day when they will be resurrected.” [Sūrah al-Mu’minūn 23:99-100]

- 2. When they see the punishment on the Day of Judgement 

- “And warn (O Muḥammad ﷺ) mankind of the Day when the torment will come unto them; then the wrong-doers will say, ‘Our Lord! Respite us for a little while, we will answer Your Call and follow the Messengers!’ (It will be said), ‘Had you not sworn aforetime that you would not leave (the world for the Hereafter).’” [Sūrah Ibrāhīm 14:44]

- 3. When they are brought to the Fire 

- “If you could but see when they will be held over the (Hell) Fire! They will say, ‘Would that we were but sent back (to the world)! Then we would not deny the āyāt (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, revelations, etc.) of our Lord, and we would be of the believers!’” [Sūrah al-An’ām 6:27]

- “Then (again) you will surely see it (in front of you) with the eye of (absolute) certainty.” [Sūrah at-Takāthur 102:7]

- 4. When they are brought in front of Rabbul-‘Ālamīn

- “And if you only could see when the Mujrimūn (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, etc.) shall hang their heads before their Lord (saying), ‘Our Lord! We have now seen and heard, so send us back (to the world), we will do righteous good deeds. Verily! We now believe with certainty.’” [Sūrah as-Sajdah 32:12]

- “If you could but see when they will be held (brought and made to stand) in front of their Lord! He will say, ‘Is not this (Resurrection and the taking of the accounts) the truth?’ They will say, ‘Yes, by our Lord!’ He will then say, ‘So taste you the torment because you used to disbelieve.’” [Sūrah al-An’ām 6:30]

- 5. In the depths of the Hellfire

- “Therein they will cry, ‘Our Lord! Bring us out, we shall do righteous good deeds, not (the evil deeds) that we used to do.’ (Allāh will reply), ‘Did We not give you lives long enough, so that whosoever would receive admonition, could receive it? And the warner came to you. So taste you (the evil of your deeds). For the Ẓalimūn (polytheists and wrongdoers, etc.) there is no helper." [Sūrah Fāṭir 35:37]

- The meaning of يَصْطَرِخُون.

- Qatādah (رحمه الله) on the sole reason we will wish to return to the dunyā. 

- “Those will have lost who deny the meeting with Allāh, until when the Hour [of resurrection] comes upon them unexpectedly, they will say, ‘O, [how great is] our regret over what we neglected concerning it,’ while they bear their burdens on their backs. Unquestionably, evil is that which they bear. And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allāh, so will you not reason? [Sūrah al-An’ām 6:31-32]
