BENEFIT: What is the ruling on saying "Life taught me," and does it fall under Shirk?
Sheikh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhayli hafidhahullah answered:
May Allah bless you, this is an important question. Perhaps, O brothers, O students of knowledge, I should alert students of knowledge and scholars to an important matter I have noticed in this time. Some people hunt for a specific sentence from the speech of some Muslim rulers, or from the speech of some scholars, or from some students of knowledge, and then they…
Sheikh Sālih As-Sindī hafidhahullah said:
This is a beautiful statement: "An innovation is not repelled by an innovation; rather, it is repelled by the Sunnah," whether this is in matters of knowledge (creed) or in matters of action (worship).
So, if the deniers, like the Jahmiyyah and the Mu'tazilah, come, they are not refuted by committing to false principles, or by committing to ambiguous terms that can carry…
BENEFIT: Can one exercise Ijtihād in Matters of Aqeedah?
Question
The Questioner says: What is the ruling on exercising independent reasoning (ijtihād) in matters of creed (‘Aqīdah)? And if someone exercises ijtihād and his statement inclines toward some of the deviant sects, is he considered from them, or is he still from Ahlus-Sunnah Wal Jamā‘ah?
Shaykh Muhammad Ba Jammal hafidahullah
Whoever is qualified for ijtihād may exercise ijtihād.
However, in matters of…
The Salafi manhaj is one that says to the one who is right, “You are correct,” and to the one who is wrong, “You are mistaken.” It says to the one upon falsehood, “You are upon falsehood,” to the misguided, “You are misguided,” and to the deviant, “You have deviated.”
It does not involve flattery or compromise, because it is the inheritance of the prophets—those who came with the truth and judged by it.
· Correcting the error by returning to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
· Stating the truth with courtesy and justice.
· Not treating matters of disbelief and faith lightly.
· While being cautious not to be unjust or transgress in wording.
The goal is to protect the honour of the Qur'an, the Mothers of the Believers, and the religion of Islam.
We ask Allah for steadfastness upon the Sunnah, respect for the Qur'an, and love…
Clarifying the Misunderstandings of the Mufti of Syria, Usamah Ar-Rifaa'i
One of the most dangerous forms of deviation in this era is: treating major nullifiers of faith lightly, and turning what is clear disbelief, apostasy, and attack on the Qur'an and religion into merely "a major sin."
Among this is what has been reported from Usama Ar-Rifaa'i, the Mufti of Syria, in his claim that accusing the Mother of the Believers, Aishah bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her), of…
BENEFIT: Be Careful of 'Aadil Aal-Hamdan's Tahqeeqaat
Question:
What is the ruling on reading some classical scholars’ books checked by Aadil Al-Hamdan?
Sheikh Najeeb Ash-Shar'abi
Aadil Aal-Hamdan Al-Ghamdi does not have strong expertise in hadith, and he is not fair or reliable in his checkings. Therefore, his work should not be depended on. Rather, one should be cautious of it—especially because it contains elements of extremism. And Allah is the One whose help is…
If men are permitted to marry multiple women, why aren’t women given the same right?
Islam places strong emphasis on preserving lineage, inheritance rights, and family structure. So a central reason given is the preservation of clear lineage. If a woman had multiple husbands, determining the biological father of a child would become uncertain.

UNITY upon the truth is an OBLIGATION:
{وَاعْتَصِمُوا بِحَبْلِ اللهِ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَفَرَّقُوا}
“Hold firmly to the rope of Allāh all together and do not become divided.” [Āl ʿImrān: 103]
DISUNITY, on the other hand, is FORBIDDEN—it leads to WEAKNESS and FAILURE:
{وَأَطِيعُوا اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ}
“Obey Allāh and His Messenger, and do not dispute with one…

What is Firaasah (spiritual insight)?
Ibn Al-Qayyim (رحمه الله) said:
((نُورٌ يَقْذِفُهُ اللهُ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدِهِ يُفَرِّقُ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ وَالْحَالِي وَالْعَاطِلِ وَالصَّادِقِ وَالْكَاذِبِ))
“It is a light which Allah places in the heart of His servant, by which he distinguishes between truth and falsehood, right and wrong, and the truthful and the untruthful.”
[Madarij As-Salikin 2/453]

BENEFIT: Causes for Steadfastness and the Repelling of Evils
Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said:
- One should adopt a regular portion of Dhikr (remembrance) during the day and at the time of sleep.
- One should be patient regarding the obstacles and distractions that confront him. Indeed, it will not be long before Allah strengthens him with a spirit from Himself and writes faith in his heart.
- One should be eager to complete the obligatory five daily…
The success of Daʿwah is not measured by numbers, followers, or subscribers.
It is measured by sincerity and correctness.
A person may gather thousands, even hundreds of thousands, yet be a cause of misguidance if he speaks without knowledge or mixes the truth with innovation.
And a person may reach only one individual, yet that single soul is guided by the permission of Allāh so he attains immense good.
Allāh,…
