Naseeha adheem!

Your audience must be scholars to be listening to such lectures

Was there a time where consensus of the ummah, ie majority of the leading scholars of Islam were either Ash'ari, Ma'turidi or Ahle Hadith ?? I have been told this by a learned imam and he provided the evidences. as a leyman I made the mistake of not taking notes.

Just found this channel frm almoallim twitter, jazaakum llaahu khair

References to jihad, and killing of infidels who reject Islam and of apostates who leave Islam abound in the Qur’an. It contains about 164 verses that refer to jihad warfare against non-Muslims and distributing the spoils of war. 24% of Medinan Qur’an is devoted to jihad. “Fight against such of those to whom the Scriptures were given (Christians and Jews) as believe in neither god (the god of Islam) nor the last day, who do not forbid what god and his apostle (Muhammad) have forbidden, and do not embrace the true faith (Islam), until they pay tribute out of hand and are utterly subdued” (al-Tawbah 9: 29) “When the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem; but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” (al-Tawbah 9: 5, 12, 14, 19, 20, 29, 36, 38, 39, 41, 44, 45, 73, 81, 86, 88, 111, 123; al-Baqarah 2: 190, 193, 216, 244; Al-Imran 3: 169; an-Nisa’ 4: 47, 74, 76, 77, 84, 89, 95; al-Ma’idah 5: 33, 51; al-Anfal 8: 12-17, 39, 59-60, 65, 67, 74; al-Anbiya’ 21: 44; Muhammad 47: 4-6, 35; al-Fath 48: 16; al-Hujurat 49: 15; al-Mumtahanah 60: 1, 4, 11; as-Saff 61: 4; at-Tahrim 66: 9; etc). The Qur’an urges Muslims to kill, even those willing to surrender (al-Anfal 8: 67). There is no scripture of any other major religion that does that. The Qur'an is a manual of war. It claims that Islam is superior to all other religions (Al-Imran 3: 85; al-Tawbah 9: 33; al-Fath 48: 28; as-Saff 61: 9; etc). The jihad warfare commands for waging offensive, aggressive and unjust wars to Islamize all the non-Muslim populations are open-ended, perpetual, global, and generic in nature. That is what motivates Islamists to terrorize and kill non-Muslims following the example of Muhammad, the architect of Islam. It is shocking indeed to read such blood thirsty injunctions in the Qur’an, the holiest book of Islam. It grants Muslim jihadists a license to kill in the name of the Islamic god in the Islamic jihad. Extreme hatred and bloody violence against the non-believers are built into the religion of Islam. This amounts to offering the non-Muslims as human sacrifices to please the god of Islam, as pagan barbarians used to do in the ancient times of darkness. It is a historical fact that, with the exception of some Indonesian islands, no nation has ever willingly converted to Islam. On the other hand, no nation has ever unwillingly been converted to Christianity in the first three centuries of the Christian era. In addition, the Hadith collections of Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim include hundreds of references to jihad warfare. In fact, Sahih al-Bukhari dedicates an entire book 4.52 to Muhammad’s teachings on jihad. Sahih Muslim does likewise (Book 19). A sampling of the Islamic teaching on violence is provided herein from the Hadith of Sahih al-Bukhari which is second in authority only to the Qur’an in Sunni Islam. It contains about 199 references to jihad in the sense of armed warfare against non-Muslims. There is no strong Hadith that speaks of jihad as being an “inner struggle.” Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, said: “The example of a Mujahid in Allah's Cause-- and Allah knows better who really strives in His Cause----is like a person who fasts and prays continuously. Allah guarantees that He will admit the Mujahid in His Cause into Paradise if he is killed, otherwise He will return him to his home safely with rewards and war booty" (Bukhari 4.52.46, 44, 50; 1.2.35); “Nobody who dies and finds good from Allah (in the Hereafter) would wish to come back to this world even if he were given the whole world and whatever is in it, except the martyr who, on seeing the superiority of martyrdom, would like to come back to the world and get killed again (in Allah's Cause)” (Bukhari 4.52.53); “There is no migration (after the Conquest of Mecca), but Jihad and good intentions, and when you are called for Jihad, you should immediately respond to the call” (Bukhari 4.52.42, 196; 1.2.25; Muslim 20.4696; etc.). All the four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Maliki, Hanbali, Hanafi, and Shafi’i, agree on the importance of jihad. Prominent Islamic scholars of antiquity from each of the four major schools of jurisprudence in historical Islam clearly understood the Qur’anic injunctions of jihad to command holy war. This includes al-Tabari (838-923), al-Biadawi (d. 1286), Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406), Ibn Kathir (1301-1373), Ibn Taymiyya (1263-1328), al-Ghazzali (1058-1111) who was a peaceful Sufi, etc. Reliance of the Traveler (Undat al-Salik), the Shafi’i manual of Islamic law, devotes three sections o9, o10, o11 (eleven pages) to jihad. Making war on unbelievers is one of the responsibilities of the Muslim nation. The Islamic umma (nation) must exist in a state of perpetual war, interrupted only by temporary truces with the non-Muslim world that rejects Islam, in order to compel either conversion to Islam, or subjugation to its rulers. When the Islamist regime is militarily weak, it reaches out for truce and peace simply in order to buy time to build up its strength (Muhammad 47: 35). Those that reject the invitation to convert to Islam are required to pay the poll tax (jizya) in humiliation and subjugation in their homelands. Should they refuse, war is to be declared against them (Muslim 19.4294; etc). In addition, Shia Islam calls for the necessity of jihad. Islam lacks any doctrine of coexistence with non-Muslims in equality. In fact, peaceful coexistence as equals in a pluralistic society is not an option in Islam. Islam divides humanity into two classes: a superior class of Muslims (Al-‘Imran 3: 110; at-Tawbah 9: 33), and an inferior class of non-Muslims (infidels). There are more than four hundred verses in the Qur’an that describe the torment of hell that the god of Islam has prepared for the infidel. There are approximately seven hundred verses in more than fifty Qur’anic suras that have explicit negative references to the Jews (an-Nisa’ 4: 47; al-Ma’idah 5: 13; etc.). The Qur’an dehumanizes and demonizes the non-Muslim infidels and calls them “… the vilest of animals …” (al-Anfal 8: 55; al-A’raf 7: 179), and the vilest of all creatures (al-Bayyinah 98: 6; al-Mujadilah 58: 20). It claims that Jews were transformed into apes (al-Baqarah 2: 65 and al-A’raf 7: 166), and Jews and Christians into swine (al-Ma’idah 5: 59-60)? It likens Jews to asses (al-Jum’ah 62: 5). It tells Muslims that Jews are cursed because of their unbelief (al-Ma’idah 5: 78, 64), and they are the enemies of Muslims (al-Ma’idah 5: 82). Muhammad claimed that Muslims will eventually exterminate the Jews in a global holocaust. “Allah's Apostle said, The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him” (Bukhari 4.52.177; Muslim 41.6981-5). The Qur’an goes as far as commanding Muslims to eschew friendships with infidels, including Christians and Jews (Al-‘Imran 3: 28, 118; an-Nisa’ 4: 89, 101, 144; al-Ma’idah 5: 51, 82), even if they be their fathers, sons, brothers, or kin (al-Tawbah 9: 23; al-Mujadalah 58: 22; al-Mumtahanah 60: 4). Abu Obaida, son of Garah, who was praised by the prophet of Islam, killed his own father who refused Islam. Musaab, son of Omair, never listened for his mother’s cries for help and left her to die because she rejected Islam. Abu Bakr, the first guided caliph, told his father he would kill him if he refused Islam, and tried to slay his non-Muslim son. Omar ibn el-Khattab, the second guided caliph, slaughtered his non-Muslim relatives. Traditional orthodox Islam promises the jihadist that if he dies fighting for the god of Muhammad in Islamic jihad, he is guaranteed to be rewarded with the sinful Islamic paradise of sexual promiscuity and gluttony, and to avoid the horrifying torments of the grave and hell (as-Saff 61: 10-13; ad-Dukhan 44: 51-56; at-Tur 52: 17-29; ar-Rahman 55: 46-78; al-Tawbah 9: 111; Al-Imran 3: 157-8, 169; an-Nisa’ 4: 74; al-Fatir 35: 50; Muhammad 47: 6; etc). According to orthodox Islamic belief, martyrdom in Islamic jihad is the only sure way a Muslim could take to avoid the horrifying torments of the grave and hell, and to get into the Islamic paradise. Dying in jihad forgives all sins except debt (Muslim 20.4649, 4650). Muhammad forbade funeral prayers for martyrs, and Islamic law forbids such prayers as well (Bukhari 5.59.406; 2.23.427; Reliance of the Traveler #g4.20). In fact, when a Muslim dies in jihad, his corpse is not washed or dressed in clean clothes. It goes in his coffin just as he died. The stains of blood on it are a witness for him before the Islamic god. It is a sign of honor that would prompt the angels to treat him in a special distinguished way. On the other hand, should the jihadist survive and live, he gets a share from the spoils of war, which includes wealth and women (al-Anfal 8: 41, 60). In addition, he obtains forgiveness of his sins (as-Saff 61: 11-12), and the love of the Islamic god (an-Nisa’ 4: 95; al-Anfal 8: 16). And if he killed a non-Muslim, he is assured of the Islamic paradise (Muslim 20.4661). Muhammad said: “Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords” (Bukhari 4.52.73, 72, 46, 48, 53; 4.53.386). Muhammad promised these fictitious rewards, which are merely a desert mirage, in order to seduce and motivate illiterate Bedouins to fight and die to expand the Islamic Arabic Empire. Unable to give them a reason to live, he gave them a reason to die.

May Allah reward you, dont worry about the negative comments

What's the ustadhs name?

بارك الله فيك

44:00 "without purification" meaning " they came to pray obligatory prayers without having purified their hearts from sin with tawbah" (major sin and stacked up minor sin) as the prophet (sollaa Allahu `alayhi wa sallam) said outstanging tawbah owed to Allah means one's obligatory prayers and fasts are not accepted by Allah though they are still obligatory for the muslim to perform. There is much said about this and many authentic and sound narrations on this in kitaab ut-taqwah in Jaami` al-`Uloom wal-Hakm by ibn Rajab al-Hanbali. So, the prophet (sollaa Allahu `alayhi wa sallam) was distracted by the fact they had outstanding tawbah for something. This is a miracle of the prophet granted by Allah that he could be aware of some of the unseen of whatever Allah decreed to reveal to him for whatever purpose. And in this case, it is to teach us that to attend the obligatory prayers with outstanding tawbah should be something that deeply worries us about ourselves if this is what we are doing. The prophet was not sinful and so it couldn't have been about himself and so it was decreed to be regarding the outstanding tawbah of some of those praying behind him. And Allah knows best about all matters; was-salaamu `alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh...

I want to listen but 46 min is too long. Time is at a premium for most of us.

Get to the point!

Jizakallah khair

As-salam alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. Jazakallahu Khairan for sharing.

BarakAllah Feekum Masjid Grand Islamic Center for organizing these sessions. Allah reward you, the Shaykh multiple fold.

Two prophets must not contradict each other about God, Heaven, or how to reach Heaven, hence Jesus and Muhammed can not both be prophets. The Quran says both were prophets hence the Quran is wrong.

We waiting for the rest of the series

Assalamu alaykum - BarakAllah Feek, shaykh! Perhaps jumping the gun here, could you please provide information on the sunnah of Khutbah for the khateeb? Can the khateeb get down or set aside from the minbar during the khutbah?

مفيد جدا بارك الله فيك

JzK for this. As relating to BasmAllah serving as divider between two surahs next to each other, such opinion can be stated about it serving the same purpose between a Surah above Surah Fatiha because there is no Surah above it which is why it is the Opener among other names. How can Surah Fatiha be 7 seven ayah often recited except that BasmAllah is part of it? If the Surah is divided between Our Lord equally, with Maliki yaumi Deen, the 4 the Ayah being what belongs to Allah, we can't ignore BasmAllah giving Allah 3 and the following 3 belong to us as they are duas. We shall only get 6 not 7. The Ayah of the Quran and or the Hadith about the seven often repeated verses will be disregarded and that is not permissible. The reality is that from BasmAllah to Maliki yaumi Deen make sense to belong to Our Merciful Creator and Maliki yaumi Deen fits the middle point just like Ayah 143 in Surah Baqarah fits the middle which call the Ummah the middle course nation. I will like the Surah Fatiha to be addressed directly based on the fact that the Muhajjirun and Ansaru RA prevailed on Muhawiyya RA when he didn't say the BasmAllah so much that they told him his Salah is stolen/deficient that he made a whole Salah to correct the oversight. It speaks directly to what the beloved prophet SA said about BasmAllah when not recited and we can see that it is proven by being an Ayah in Surah Naml. Finally, how can it be part of the Book of Allah except that it is recited since nothing in the Book of Allah except that it is revelation as the prophet SA stated that Malaika Jibril SA said BasmAllah first and went on to reveal what he was ordered to deliver. BasmAllah is not just for decoration from every viewpoint and what is not abrogated is that BasmAllah because it is always what Jibril SA said first.

Ahsan Allahu ilaykum, this is an excellent series. Are the narrations you are quoting in these series all considered authentic according to you? If there was any in the chapter you did not consider authentic would you comment on the 'illah in the chain?

Al-Hafiz Ibn Kathir (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “On the night of the Isra’ , one and a half years before the Hijrah, Allah enjoined upon His Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) the five daily prayers, and explained that there were conditions and essential parts and other matters having to do with them, bit by bit.” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, 7/164)
