Question: What is the most important and valuable book for understanding the different sects?
Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah:
Sects have no limit. They continue to increase. No year passes without the following one being worse, and this includes disunity and the proliferation of sects. One may find an individual initially aligned with Ahlus-Sunnah, only to later diverge. For instance, someone might start as a Sunni,…
Abdurrahman hassan was originally from South London but became known to many when he started giving lectures in different masaajid.
In particular an ikhwaane masjid called Daarussalam in Southall. This masjid has many mukhalafaat, from them jameyah, ta'assub to ahlul bidah, free mixing. Their manhaj is not clear, they used to let anyone teach there and even some of the heads of ahlul bidah used to come there from the likes of Youssef estes, Abu Usaamah ad dhahabi and Aaidh al-qarni, and they even tried to get Zakir Naik to come down.
This is…
1⃣. Studied under Controversial Figures:
A- Abu Ishaaq Al-Huwayni (https://t.me/almanhajussalafi/1460), yet AbdulRahman Hassan regards him as a "Sheikh hafidahullāh (may Allāh preserve him)".
B- Salih Al-Maghamasi; Known for Sufi inclinations (t.me/Bashuaib/3895)
2⃣. Connections with Innovators and Hizbees:
- Cooperates and lectures alongside individuals labelled as innovators, such as Abu Usaamah…
Excerpt from Sheikh Yahya's Advice to the People of Syria
"You should have your own masjids—one, two, or three. By Allāh, even if the masjid is made of straw or mud, it would suffice. There is no need for large, massive, or luxurious buildings; rather, the masjid should be proportional [to the community's capability]. In Indonesia, as we have been informed, some masjids are made of straw, yet they serve as centres for Salafi Da'wah. Similarly, some are built from mud and…
Question: My father is a Christian and lives in a different country to me. We communicate through social media platforms. For the past four years, I have been inviting him to Islam, but he constantly involves me in fruitless arguments. Should I continue engaging in these debates, or should I avoid discussing religious matters with him and limit our conversation to asking about his well-being?

Stop using Nasheeds as background music and replace them with these beautiful poems (1) or statements from scholars.
You’d be surprised how many kids I hear quoting Sheikh Fawzān’s intro:
"هذا الدين الصحيح؛ قال الله، قال رسوله، قال الصحابة!"
And Sheikh Albani’s outro:
"وهم السلف الصالح الذين نحن نقتدي بهم!"

These motivational speakers are leading Muslims astray on a global scale. Staying silent is not an option if Allāh has given you the ability to counter their misguidance.
نتعاون فيما اتفقنا عليه،
ويعذر بعضنا بعضا فيما اختلفنا فيه
"We cooperate in matters where we agree and excuse one another in matters where we disagree."
This principle was popularised by figures such as Hasan Al-Banna, the founder of Al-Ikhwan Al-Mufsidoon, who used it to justify alliances with groups that promote innovations and deviant ideologies.
The principle is false for the following reasons:

BENEFIT 308: Some people argue that when you claim the means of da'wah are restricted (tawqīfiyyah), the use of microphones as a means of da'wah contradicts this principle. How should one respond to t
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazaa’iri hafidahullāh responds:
When scholars state that the means of da'wah are tawqīfiyyah (restricted to the evidences), they specifically refer to the instructional, educational, and directive means of conveying the message of Islam. These require evidence for their validity, as indicated by Allāh's statement:
{ وَدَاعِیًا إِلَى ٱللهِ بِإِذۡنِهِ}
"And [We sent you] as one who invites to Allah,…
🚫 Opponent: It’s simple. Brothers coming together to play football or any other halal sport in their spare time is nothing new. What is new, however, is organising and managing such activities under
✅ Supporter: Bārakallāhu feek.
🚫 Opponent: Wafeeka.
------------------
SUMMARY:
1. Associating football with Salafi masajid risks turning Salafi da’wah into a vehicle for entertainment or socialising, which can detract from its core objectives.
2. This approach resembles practices of groups like Ikhwan al-Muslimeen, who prioritise such activities over true da’wah.
3. Brotherhood can be fostered through…

1⃣. Offering sacrifice specifically in this month
Abu Hurairah raḍhiyallāhu anhu narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “No Far’. No ‘Ateerah.” [Bukhari & Muslim]
Both were types of sacrifices offered by the Mushriks to their false deities; Far’ being the first child of the cattle and ’Ateerah being the sacrifice offered specifically in the month of Rajab.
So those who slaughter in the month of Rajab specifically are…
Sheikh Muḥammad ibn 'Abdillāh Bā Jammāl wrote:
The dangers of Bid'ah are severe and numerous; from them is:
𝟙. Whoever introduces something new into the Religion or practices an innovation that was introduced by someone else, their actions is rendered futile and will be rejected.
𝟚. Bid'ah is misguidance, and misguidance leads to the Hellfire.
