BENEFIT 48: Reminding people to send Ṣalāh and Salām upon the Messenger of Allāh EVERY Jumu'ah via the phone, is there anything wrong with this?
Sheikh Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh said (paraphrasing):
If people are unaware of upcoming Islamic occasions, such as fasting ’Āshūra, the six days of Shawwāl, etc., there's nothing wrong in reminding them of that, whether that is by means of the phone or via other means. If for…
BENEFIT 47: Abū Ghādiyah (غادية)
Sheikh Jum’ān ḥafidhahullāh said:
There are three Companions who share this Kunya (Abū Ghādiyah):
1⃣. Abū Ghādiyah Al-Juhani [His actual name is Yasār ibn Sabu’ سَبُع]. He is the most well-known of the three because he reported the most ḥadīths. (*)
2⃣. Abū Ghādiyah Al-Muzani
3⃣. Abū Ghādiyah - he made Hijrah alongside his mother.
------------
(*) There occurred an issue…
The Uncle Tisca (Aweys Ali Noor) رحمه الله was known to be a person of goodness and righteousness. He loved Ahlus-Sunnah very much and aided their da’wah greatly.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
‎ «أيُّما مُسلم شَهِد له أربعة بخير، أدخله الله الجنة» فقلنا: وثلاثة؟ قال: «وثلاثة» فقلنا: واثنان؟ قال: «واثنان» ثم لم نَسْأَلْهُ عن الواحد
‘Allah admits to Paradise any Muslim whose goodness is testified to by four people.' We…
BENEFIT 46: True Generosity
Our teacher, Dāris ḥafidhahullāh mentioned in one of the classes:
«الكريم هو الذي يعطي العطاء من غير أن يسأل»
“The generous one is the one who gives voluntarily without being asked.”
On this note, I advise my fellow brothers and sisters, if you know that your fellow Muslim is in need while you have the ability to assist them, then do so and don't wait for them to come and ask…
BENEFIT 45: I have a debt, can you help me?
’Ali raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu narrated that: “A Mukātib (a slave who agrees to buy himself out of servitude) came to him and said: “I am not capable of my Kitābah (buying myself out of servitude) so aid me.” He said: “Should I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) taught me? If you had a debt upon you similar to the mountain of Ṣīr (in some books, Ṣabīr), Allāh…
I take this opportunity to caution you against some of the trouble-makers who spread slanders against Sheikh Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh.
From their slanders is their saying:
“Yahya Al-Hajuri reviles the Prophets and Messengers.”
After reflecting over the previous benefit (https://t.me/madrasatuna/2490) the falsity in this claim becomes clear to the mindful reader, seeing as Sheikh Yaḥyā is doing the exact opposite!
Moreover, there are further more details related to this issue (the infallibility of the Prophets and Messengers) which I recommend…
BENEFIT 44: Were Yūsuf عليه السلام's brothers Prophets too?
Sheikh Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh said (paraphrasing):
The Prophets are free from major sins, so it's not possible that they (Yūsuf's brothers) were Prophets because they perpetrated a number of major sins‼️
The Sheikh gave the following examples:
1⃣. Envy:
﴿إِذۡ قَالُوا۟ لَیُوسُفُ وَأَخُوهُ أَحَبُّ إِلَىٰۤ أَبِینَا مِنَّا وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌ﴾
“The brothers…
BENEFIT 43: The gender of Angels
Sheikh Yūsuf Al-Jazā'iri ḥafidhahullāh said (paraphrasing):
The correct view in this matter is that the angels are male, and this is supported by many evidences:
▪️ It is authentically reported from Abū Miljaz (Lāḥiq ibn Ḥumaid) raḥimahullāh (who was from the Tābi’ēn), that he said:
«إنهم ذكور وليسوا بإناث»
“They (the angels) are males and not females.” [Reported by Aṭ-Ṭabarī…
BENEFIT 42: Important principle related to ’ilm Al-Ghayb (knowledge of the unseen):
Sheikh ’Abdullāh Lamḥ Al-Akhawlāni ḥafidhahullāh said:
PRINCIPLE:
«الغيبيات التي لا تعلم إلا بالسمع إذا لم يرد فيها نص يحتج به: فليست مما كلفنا اعتقادها، والسؤال عنها غير مشروع»
“The affairs of the unseen that are not known except through evidences, if there are no texts relayed concerning them that may be used as evidence,…
BENEFIT 41: Tawriyah v.s Taqiyyah
The following is a paraphrased answer given by our Sheikh, Yaḥyā ḥafidhahullāh concerning Tawriyah (equivocation):
“Tawriyah should only be resorted to when necessary (#), or else it falls into the Taqiyyah employed by the Shī’ah (i.e. manifesting that which is contrary to one's inward beliefs).
Examples of Tawriyah:
1⃣. Ibrāhīm عليه السلام's statement to his wife Sārah: “If…
Abū Dharr raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu said: “My khalīl (intimate friend, i.e. Rasūlullāh) ﷺ commanded me with seven [matters]:
1⃣. He commanded me to love the poor and draw close to them
2⃣. He commanded me to look at those who are below me and not to look at those who are above me (in terms of worldly matters)
3⃣. He commanded me to maintain the ties of kinship even if it seeks to draw away
4⃣. He commanded me not to ask anyone for anything
5⃣. He commanded me to speak the truth even if it is bitter
6⃣. He commanded me not to fear the…
BENEFIT 40: There's nothing comparable to Aṣ-Ṣuḥbah (Companionship)
After today's ’Aṣr class I asked Sheikh Jum’ān ḥafidhahullāh: which Umm Ad-Dardā' was superior; the elder or the younger, bearing in mind that the elder one was a Ṣaḥābiyyah raḍhiyallāhu ’anhā, whereas the younger, although not a Ṣaḥābiyyah, left behind a greater portion of knowledge?
The Sheikh answered:
«الصحبةُ لا يعدلها شيءٌ»
“Nothing can…
BENEFIT 39: The most superior from the female Tābi’ēn
Sheikh Jum’ān ḥafidhahullāh said:
سيدات التابعيات ثلاثة:
The most superior of the female Tābi’ēn are three:
١. أم الدرداء الصغرى
1. Umm Ad-Dardā' Aṣ-Ṣughrā
٢. عمرة بنت عبدالرحمن
2. ’Amrah bint ’Abdirraḥmān
٣. حفصة بنت سيرين
3. Ḥafṣah bint Sīrīn
Abū Fāṭimah said: “O Messenger of Allāh, inform me of a deed that I may commit to/persist upon.” The Messenger of Allāh said to him:
((عليك بالهجرة؛ فإنه لا مثلَ لها))
“You should make Hijrah, for there is nothing like it.” [Graded Ṣaḥīḥ by Sheikh Albāni]
8⃣: The Muhājir has a right upon Allāh (due to His favour and generosity) to admit him to Jannah:
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Shaiṭān sits in the paths of the son of Ādam. He sits waiting for him on the path to Islām, and he says: Will you accept Islām, and leave your religion, and the…
On the authority of Sa’ēd ibn Jubair raḍhiyallāhu ’anhu, that a man from the tribe of Khuzā’ah was in Makkah and he fell ill therein; this man was Ḍhamrah ibn Al-’Ayṣ ibn Ḍhamrah ibn Zinbā’. He gave i
﴿...وَمَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُه على الله﴾
“Those who leave their homes and die while emigrating to Allāh and His Messenger—their reward has already been secured with Allāh...” [Sūrah An-Nisā': 100]
Ibn Baṭṭāl said:
«وفيه دليل أن مَن شرَع في عمل من عمل الطاعات، وصحَّت فيه نيَّته لله، وحال بينه وبين تمامه الموت؛ فإن الرجاء قوي أن…
BENEFIT 38: A warning and an encouragement for 'the regretful one' (i.e. the Muhājur who wants to turn back on his heels)
➢ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻𝗲'𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗷𝗿𝗮𝗵:

I want to draw your attention to point number three:
“Exiting a land that is overcome with Ḥarām, because seeking Ḥalāl (provision) is obligatory upon every Muslim.”
Sometimes when brothers are advised against certain jobs, they excuse themselves saying: “There's no Halāl jobs in this country (referring to UK).”
let's assume for argument's sake that this is actually true (although it's not), why then are these brothers so adamant in residing in such a country…
BENEFIT 37: Types of Hijrah (emigration)
Ibn Al-'Arabi (Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn ’Abdillāh) author of Aḥkām Al-Qur'ān said:
“Hijrah is of various types:
1⃣- Exiting from a non-Muslim land (Dār Al-Ḥarb) to a Muslim land (Dār Al-Islām). This was obligatory during the time of the Prophet ﷺ and will remain obligatory till the Day of Judgement...(Generally speaking) if one remains in non-Muslim lands he is sinful, but…
