Lesson 2 - Sareeh al-Sunnah | Shaykh Uways at-Taweel

Shaykh Abū ʿIyāḍ Amjad Rafīq summarises key points from the works of al-ʿAllāmah Rabī b. Hādī al-Madkhalī (raḥimahullah) namely: The Methodology of the Prophets in Calling to Allāh. The three-part lecture series hones in on five key points that define the true callers to Islām: 

1. They adhere to the methodology of the prophets in da'wah
2. They call to adherence to the Book and the Sunnah connecting People to its evidences 
3. They follow the sunnah and adhering to the jamāʿah (in the correct sense) and they warn against splitting and differing
4. They enjoin the good and prohibiting the evil 
5. They refute the opposers to this way

Distinguishing Principles of the Salafī Daʿwah and Manhaj 3/3 - Abū ʿIyāḍ

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.

Lesson 2 Explanation of the Four Fundamental Principles by Ustaadh Abu Sara Haroon

- The importance of the people of knowledge clarifying this newly invented matter that has been attributed to Islām. 
- The history of celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ.
- The intention one should have when reasoning with those who celebrate the mawlid.
- Points of benefit taken from a debate between Shaykh al-Albānī (رحمه الله) and an individual regarding the mawlid. 
- Is celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ a good thing or a bad thing?
- Was the Messenger ﷺ and his Companions (رضى الله عنهم) ignorant of this good you claim to know?
- Textual proof to show that this is impossible. 
- Statements from Imām Mālik and Imām ash-Shawkānī (رحمهما الله) on the implications of attributing an innovation to the dīn and deeming it to be good. 
- The obligation of taking the understanding of the dīn from the Companions of the Messenger ﷺ. 
- The importance of protecting the pure Sunnah from those who want to pollute it with innovations. 
- Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله) on the manner in which an innovation first appears, and the consequences of not extinguishing it at its inception.
- Doubts/arguments brought by those who celebrate the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ and how to answer them: 
- 1. Celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ is not an innovation but is a sunnah ḥasanah/bid’ah ḥasanah. 
- What they cite as proof. 
- The story behind the usage of the terms sunnah ḥasanah/bid’ah ḥasanah. 
- The impossibility of there being any contradiction in the statements of the Messenger ﷺ. 
- The meaning of sunnah ḥasanah. 
- The correct understanding of the statement attributed to ‘Abdullāh b. Mas’ūd (رضى الله عنه), “What the Muslims see to be good, that is good with Allāh.”
- 2. If the mawlid is an innovation, then why is it accepted and celebrated by so many people across the world?
- Clarification that numbers are never a proof.
- “And if you obey most of those on earth, they will mislead you far away from Allāh's Path.” [Sūrah al-An’ām 6:116]
- 3. All we do in our gatherings is remember the Messenger ﷺ, make dhikr of Allāh, study the Sīrah and recite the Qur’ān. Are these things prohibited/incorrect?
- The problem of singling out one day to carry out these actions. 
- Loving and remembering the Messenger ﷺ throughout the year.
- 4. The dream regarding the lightening of Abū Lahab’s punishment due to him being happy with the birth of the Messenger ﷺ. 
- Clarification that there is nothing authentically documented regarding this narration/dream. 
- The only dreams taken as proof. 
- Distinguishing between a natural occurrence and taking something as an act of worship.
- 5. The Christians respect ‘Īsā (عليه السلام) and celebrate his birthday, and our Messenger is better than him so it is more deserving that we celebrate his birthday ﷺ. 
- The Christians are not to be followed in their kufr and misguidance. 
- 6. Blessings necessitate that we are thankful to Allāh. 
- Their misapplication of this principle.
- Their incorrect use of the ḥadīth regarding the reason for fasting the Day of ‘Āshūrā. 
- The correct way to thank Allāh for sending the Messenger ﷺ. 
7. The Messenger ﷺ would fast on Mondays because it was the day he was born. 
- Clarification that the Messenger ﷺ would fast on Mondays and Thursdays throughout the year. 
- The Messenger ﷺ and his Companions never took it as a day of celebration or instructed us to do so. 
- 8. Rejoicing and being happy with the birth of the Messenger ﷺ is required, with a clear proof from the Qur’ān. 
- Their incorrect tafsīr of the verse, “Say, ‘In the bounty of Allāh and in His mercy - in that let them rejoice’” [Sūrah Yūnus 10:58]. 
- The correct explanation of this verse. 
- How to counter the arguments/claims of Ahlul-Bid’ah. 
- Three things that are necessitated when a person celebrates the birthday of the Messenger ﷺ. 
- An example of the shirk present in the Burdah of al-Būṣayrī.
