Q: Some of the Du‘āt say: “I refuse to say that I am salafi out of fear that people will think I am a Hizbi.” Is this statement correct or do I have to explain what Salafiyyah is to the people?
A: A discussion took place between me and an Islamic writer who is with us upon the Qur’ān and Sunnah. I ask our brothers from the students of knowledge to memorise this discussion as it has an important benefit.
I told…
NOTE 1: We can clearly see from the above evidences that Islam recognises the virtue of those who rush to good; and the best of good deeds that one can possibly rush to is accepting Islam. So if you w
NOTE 2: it's possible for a revert to be better than those born into Islam, especially if the former is more fearful of Allah and more diligent in implementing the Deen than the latter.

Two days ago I came across a video of someone embracing Islam in one of the biggest masjids in London. After taking Shahadah, one of the teachers said to the new Muslim: “welcome to Islam, you are now the best person in this room.”
In this short post we will clarify why this statement is wrong.
FIRSTLY: It is true that when a non-Muslim embraces Islam all their previous sins are forgiven.

In this clip sh. Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli waffaqahullah says: “...likewise, it (seeking donations) should NOT be taken as a trademark for Jumu'ah, such that when the Imaam gives salam (after Jumu'ah prayer
Follow up question on the topic of requesting donations:
One may ask:
“There was a time where the Prophet ﷺ asked to give charity, Umar gave half of his wealth, Abubakar gave all of his wealth and told the Prophet ﷺ that he left his family to Allah and his Messenger. The Prophet didn’t put a limit. Similarly, another time the Prophet ﷺ asked to fund jihaad and the companions gave camels. Again the Prophet ﷺ didn’t put a limit...”
Response:
There's a difference between…
The Prophets and Messengers invited their people to worshipping Allah alone (Tawheed). They gave da'wah day and night, in public and in secret, and though many had families to support, they never requested donations from the people - not even in the name of da'wah.
Nûh عليه السلام said to his people:
{ وَیَـٰقَوۡمِ لَاۤ أَسۡـَٔلُكُمۡ عَلَیۡهِ مَالًاۖ إِنۡ أَجۡرِیَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ...}
“My people, I ask no…
“...The Da'wah has become a means for many people to earn a living. His concern is not giving Da'wah really, he is merely a layman who grows the beard, wears a turban and goes out (seeking donations), “we have a da'wah, we have a da'wah,” and at the end maybe they give him forty / fifty thousand Saudi riyals (in donations) and he goes and buys himself a farm...”

Our question is: Some of the callers sometimes ask the people money for the purpose of Da’wah. So what is the criteria in asking from people for the purpose of da’wah?

The reason for raising this discussion is to remind my fellow Muslims about the severity of begging/requesting donations, which unfortunately we see many Muslims taking lightly, especially in recent t
Let's not conflate between donating to poor students of knowledge directly and making public appeals for financial help without there being any Dharoorah:
‘Umar ibnul Khattab radhiyallahu anhu said: Allah's Messenger ﷺ would give me something but I would say to him, “I prefer you give it to someone poorer and more needy than l?” The Prophet ﷺ said to me, “Take it. If you are given something from this wealth,…
Here are some Points of benefit derived from the hadeeth:
1⃣. The base rule in Islam is that begging/asking for donations is haraam
Sheikhul Islam ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullah said:
((وقد تواترت الأحاديث عن النبي ﷺ بتحريم مسألة الناس إلا عند الضرورة))
“There are multitudes of hadiths relayed from the Prophet ﷺ prohibiting begging - except in the case of Dharoorah (dire necessity).”
[مجموع الفتاوى (8/538)]
BENEFIT: Sheikh Muqbil has collected many of these in his book…
Qabeesah ibn Al-Mukhaariq (May Allāh be pleased with him) reported:
“I undertook a financial responsibility, then I came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and asked him (for help) concerning that. He (ﷺ) said: 'Hold on, O Qabeesah! When we get some charity we will give you some.' Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'O Qabeesah, [REQUESTING] CHARITY IS NOT PERMISSIBLE EXCEPT FOR ONE OF THREE:

Do you think Sheikh 'Uthaymeen would allow people to wear brands like Puma and AirJordans without defacing the heads of these images?…

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Salih Al-'Uthaymeen rahimahullah is one of the most decorated scholars of our era. His works provide an invaluable source of knowledge for students and scholars alike. But while it is reassuring to see him being held in high regard and benefitted from, it is also distressing to see how some of his opinions are sometimes exploited.
It's important to note that whenever there's a difference of…
1. The Manhaj (methodology) of the Prophets as per the Qurʿān is to invoke mercy and forgiveness ONLY for the believing men & women
2. It is not permissible to invoke mercy and forgiveness upon a disbeliever, male or female, living or dead - according to the concensus (Ijmaa')
3. If one was to invoke mercy and forgiveness upon a disbeliever, it will be of no avail. Allah Almighty said:
