Therefore, follow those who are rightly guided. Also, follow those who have passed away without changing or altering the religion. "Among the believers are men who were true to what they pledged to Allah. Some of them have fulfilled their vow (referring to those who have already passed away), and some are still waiting, but (the condition for all of them is) they have never changed in the least." [33:23] For this…

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Hadi waffaqahullah says: My brothers, students of knowledge, you are sitting in a gathering of Islamic knowledge. More specifically, it is a gathering of Hadith, and even more specifically, it is a gathering about the principles of Hadith. You are people of Hadith and Athar, so do not occupy yourselves with tasweer. By Allah, it is from the major sins!!! If the Prophet ﷺ cursed the one who makes…

Shaykh Salih Aal Ash-Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) said: "The Prophet ﷺ was sent to all people. He said: 'No one from this Ummah who hears about me—whether Jew or Christian—and then does not believe in me, except that Allah will admit him to the Fire.' I heard Shaykh Muhammad Nasir ad-Din al-Albani explain this hadith in person. He said: 'The Prophet's words, "who hears about me," are similar to his statement:…

Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Iqtiḍāʾ aṣ-Ṣirāṭ al-Mustaqīm: "When a person fulfills some of his needs through practices that are not prescribed by Islam, his desire for the prescribed acts decreases, and he benefits from them less, in proportion to how much he has replaced them with other things. On the other hand, if he directs his eagerness and determination toward what is prescribed, his…

One of the best contemporary refutations of the Rafidha

This is a scholarly response to a claim used by some people to argue that building masjids over graves, or using graves as places of worship, is permissible. The claim discussed is: the Prophet’s ﷺ grave is located within the area of the Prophet’s Masjid, so this supposedly proves that having graves in masjid is allowed. Main points of the book: The author explains that Islamic teachings strongly warn against…

But there is another type of seeking intercession that is not like this at all. It has been narrated from some well-known figures who adhere to the Book and the Sunnah that they permitted seeking intercession through the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, only, and not through any other prophet, nor through any created beings, holding on to the hadith of the blind man. Among them are Al-Izz ibn Abdis-Salam…

Question: O noble father, may Allah preserve you, what is the ruling on praying behind some imams who commit acts of shirk, like asking Allah by the status of the Prophet and similar things? And may Allah reward you with good. Shaykh Al-Albani rahimahullah: We have spoken about this issue in some gatherings, and I do not know now, the time is close to nine o'clock, so the five minutes we have will be enough for us…

If this call includes a clear request, such as saying: “O Muhammad, give me such and such,” or “do such and such for me,” or an indirect request, like when someone is carrying a heavy rock or something difficult and says: “O Muhammad,” as a way of seeking help. This is considered a form of asking for assistance. Both of these are considered shirk (associating partners with Allah), because calling upon other than…

Question: The questioner says: “I prayed in a masjid where the words ‘O Allah, O Muhammad’ were written on its wall. Is my prayer valid?” Sheikh AbdulAziz Ar-Rayyis: The answer to this question is: Writing such a phrase is not permissible. It is not correct to say “O Muhammad!” If someone says “O Muhammad!” and, as part of the supplication, he is asking him for something, then this is major shirk (associating…

Question: Respected Shaykh — may Allah grant you success — the questioner says: There are some masjids where they put decorations, writing the name of Allah (“الله”) on the right side of the mihrab and the name “محمد” on the left side of the mihrab. What is the ruling on this? Sheikh Fawzan hafidhahullah: This is not permissible. It is making the Messenger ﷺ equal to Allah. Some people include يا: يا الله! يا…

These domes are an imitation of the Christians. Churches are the ones that use such domes. Sometimes these domes are also placed over the graves of righteous people whom they bury there. The Prophet ﷺ said: “May Allah curse the Jews and Christians; they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.” Today you see many masjids that millions are spent on, but they are filled with domes and decorations.…

يا الله يا محمد ‘O Allah, O Muhammad’ on walls Question: May Allah be good to you. A questioner says: In some masjids, it is common to see written on their prayer niches: يا الله! يا محمد! “O Allah, O Muhammad.” Is it permissible to pray in such masjids? Sheikh Rabee' rahimahullah: Unfortunately, we have seen this practice in Pakistan and Afghanistan. We have even seen it, by Allah, on the vehicles of people…

“How excellent was Mālik’s response to al-ʿUmarī, affirming Allāh’s prior decree concerning His servants. He did not prefer his own path of knowledge over al-ʿUmarī’s path of devotion and asceticism.” [Tārīkh al-Islām, 11/183] This is because Mālik’s response was that of a well-grounded Imām who knew exactly what he was saying. He understood Allāh's decrees among His creation, and he recognized the vital importance…

Alḥamdulillāh, to proceed: Indeed, the doors of evil through which Ṣhayṭān enters upon people—both the righteous and the wicked among them—are many. Among these is making comparisons between scholars and callers to Allāh. These comparisons cause the one making them to fall into backbiting, which is a major sin. They also lead to the disparagement and contempt of Allāh’s righteous servants, which is…
