The Arabic classes have resumed. I will try to post on a more regular basis to facilitate a quicker completion, but you can continue watching at your own pace.
May Allāh accept the efforts and make it a source of strength and benefit for Islām and the Muslims.
Here's the long awaited revision session: ⤵️

If we are to look at the onset of this Ummah, we see that it became victorious on the basis of Tawḥīd, sincerity to Allāh, following the messenger of Allāh ﷺ, avoiding nonsense issues, bad habits, obs
The problem now is that there are some of the people who think that imitating the Kuffār is victory, and they think that returning to what the Prophet ﷺ and his companions were upon is backwardness, just like what the early ones said:
{وَإِذَا رَأَوۡهُمۡ قَالُوۤا۟ إِنَّ هَـٰۤؤُلَاۤءِ لَضَاۤلُّونَ}
“and when they see them, they say, those ones are misguided”
[Sūratul Muttafifīn 32]
It is therefore obligatory on us…
HOW TO FREE PALESTINE |by Sheikh Ṣāliḥ Al-‘Uthaymīn
“And it is not possible for them to reclaim it except with the name of Islām and based on what the Prophet ﷺ and his companions were upon, just as Almighty Allāh said:
{إِنَّ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ لِله یُورِثُهَا مَن یَشَاۤءُ مِنۡ عِبَادِهِۦۖ وَٱلۡعَـٰقِبَةُ لِلۡمُتَّقِینَ}
“To Allāh belongs the Land, He grants it to whomever he wishes among his slaves and the good end is for the pious ones”
[Sūratul A’rāf 128]
And no matter…
The so called 'Indian variant' is merely a distraction to draw away attention from the massacre of innocent Muslims taking place in Palestine & elsewhere...
The Arabs have summed this up perfectly in their saying:
الحمار إذا أوجعته رجلُه رُبطت أذنُه بحبل، فيشتغل بأذنه وينسى رجله التي تؤلمه.
“When the donkey is suffering pain in the leg, its ear gets tied with a string so it becomes preoccupied with that,…
Cursing the Muslim rulers for our perceived 'lack of intervention' in the current crisis is NOT from the way of the Salaf!
This ⤵️ is the way of the Salaf & a good way to aid Palestine:
Al-Fuḍayl ibn ʿIyyāḍh (D. 187H) raḥimahullāh said:
((لو أن لي دعوةً مستجابةً ما صيرتها إلا في الإمامِ))
“If I had one supplication that was going to be answered, I would dedicate it solely for the ruler.”
It was said to him, “O Abū ʿAlī, explain that to us.” He replied,
((متى ما صيرتها في نفسي لم تحزني ، ومتى صيرتها في الإمامِ فصلاحُ الإمامِ صلاحٌ…
RAMAḌHĀN MAY HAVE COME TO AN END, BUT THE FASTING CONTINUES...
Imām Muslim -raḥimahullāh- reported in his Ṣaḥīḥ (1164) from the ḥadīth of Abū Ayyūb Al-Ansarī -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhu- that the Prophet ﷺ said:
((‏من صام رمضان ثم أتبعه بست من شوال كان كصيام الدهر))
"Whoever fasts Ramaḍhān and then follows it with six days of Shawwāl will be (rewarded) as if he had fasted the entire year."
How does fasting 1 month + 6 days equate to fasting an entire year?
The scholars…
According to UK corona restrictions, YOU CANNOT hug family members or friends until May 17th, but YOU CAN take part in full-on contact sports such as rugby and wrestling. So, in compliance with this restriction, I advise my fellow brothers & sisters to stay out of trouble today by avoiding ‘Eid hugs and replacing that with soft rugby tackles & simulated takedowns - without lifting or dropping the opponent.
Al-ʿAllāmah Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān حفظه الله said:
❝As for the Munāfiq (hypocrite) and the Fāsiq (evil-doer), then they rejoice over the ending of Ramaḍān, to proceed towards their desires, pleasures and heedlessness, for they were in prison and in captivity in the month of Ramaḍān. So when it ends, they proceed towards their heedlessness and distractions, they roam freely and have fun in this life until death reaches them, except those whom Allāh -the Most Majestic…
You should begin by supplicating for yourself, then your parents, then the rest of the muslims; following the examples of:
Ibrāhim عليه السلام, who said:
﴿رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لِی وَلِوَ ٰلِدَیَّ وَلِلۡمُؤۡمِنِینَ یَوۡمَ یَقُومُ ٱلۡحِسَابُ﴾
“Our Lord! Forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when the judgment will come to pass.”
[Sūrah Ibrāhīm 41]
and Nūh عليه السلام, who said:
﴿رَّبِّ ٱغۡفِرۡ لِی…
Allāh ﷻ said:
﴿واسْألُوا اللهَ مِن فَضْلِهِ﴾
“Ask Allāh from His bounties.”
[Sūrah An-Nisā' 32]
Sufyān ibn ‘Uyaynah رحمه الله commented:
«لم يأمرْ بالمسألة إلّا ليُعطي».
He (ﷻ) only commanded to ask in order to bestow.
[Tafsīr Ath-Tha‘labi (10/ 282)]
Our Sheikh (i.e. Sheikh Yahya may Allāh preserve him) came forward tonight to lead the 3rd and 4th rak‘ahs of the taraaweeh prayer, and just as he stepped up, his father -fearing for his health- indicated to him that he should go back, because the Sheikh had been quite ill the previous nights. So upon his father's request, the Sheikh immediately stepped back and was replaced by Sheikh Hassan Al-Khawlani. Then, as…
Some of you might read the above quote and think: wait a minute, Fajr isn't part of Laylatul Qadr!
But in reality, this quote only illustrates the great fiqh (understanding) of this noble imām, and here's why:
Abdurraḥmān ibn ‘Abī ‘Amrah reported:
'Uthman ibn ‘Affān entered the masjid after evening prayer and sat alone. I also sat alone with him, so he said: “O, son of my brother, I heard the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) say: He who observed the 'Isha' prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed half of the night,…
The fruits of your da'wah may not come during your lifetime
Sheikh 'Uthaymeen rahimahullah said:
“Victory is not confined to one becoming victorious during their lifetime and seeing the fruits of their Da'wah. Rather, victory may come after a person's death; that's if Allah places acceptance in the hearts of His creation to that which he invited them to, and they take it on board and adhere to it. This is a victory for this caller - even if he has passed on. Hence the…
It was narrated from 'Ā'ishah -raḍhiyallāhu ‘anhā- that she said:
"O Messenger of Allāh, what should I say in my supplication if I reach Laylatul-Qadr?"
He said: "Say: 'Allāhumma innaka 'afuwwun tuḥibbul-'afwa, fa'fu 'anni
(O Allāh, You are Forgiving and love to forgive, so forgive me).'"
