Points of benefit to be gained from this lecture:

- Numerous examples of the Names and Attributes in the noble Qur`aan and the authentic Sunnah, along with statements from the Imaam of the Salaf explaining how these texts are to be interpreted and understood.

- Imaam Ibnul-Qayyim (d.751H) demonstrates the importance of referring all of the affairs of our Religion back to the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and that if the clarification for all the affairs in our Religion were not found in these two sources, then it is impossible that Allaah and His Messenger would have commanded us to do so.

- Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (d.728H) uses the the Ash’ariyyah’s own logic in affirming some of the Attributes of Allaah and rejecting the majority of them through ta’teel (denial) and tahreef (distortion) - or what they term ta`weel (figurative interpretation).

- Uncovering how the Ashaa`irah use methaphorical meanings for the Attributes of Allaah, in a manner that was unknown to the Arabs in the time of the Messenger of Allaah - up until the writings of Greek philosophy were translated into Arabic and adapted by some innovators into the perfect and complete Religion of Islaam.

- Affirmation of the fundamental principle of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah about not delving into the modality, or ‘how’ the Attributes of Allaah are (i.e. takyeef).

- Clarification that the Ash’ariyyah of our time do not in reality have a conflict with the person of Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah or Imaam al-Albaanee, rather they seek to destroy the pure ‘aqeedah of Islaam itself - as it was understood by the Salaf of this Ummah and the early generations of Muslims.

Please note that this is merely the first part of the replies to this deviated polemic which has recently arisen and more detailed replies will follow inshaa` Allaah.  Please note that this series of lectures is being held at Masjid Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab in Camden NJ - and they will be made available on SunnahAudio.com as they are delivered - with the permission of Allaah.

Human Rights in Islam - The Grand Muftee of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia - Shaykh ‘Abdul-’Azeez Ibn ‘Abdullaah aalush-Shaykh - expounds upon human rights as guaranteed to mankind by Allaah in Islaam.  These include, the right to life, women’s rights, rights of the family and others.  He explains the grave dangers of oppressing people and killing unjustly.  In conclusion, he clarifies the state of those who claim to support human rights, but oppress others in the process - oppression and transgression in the name of human rights!

Issues Covered in this Article:

 On Human Rights in Islam:

“He produced from this human race Prophets and Messengers who were sent for the guidance and success of mankind in their worldly lives and in their Hereafter.  Indeed, Islām is concerned with the human being with a fully sanctioned concern.  So the prescribed laws (Sharī’ah) of Allāh have come to purify the servant (i.e. the human being) and they have come for his success in his worldly life and in his Hereafter.  So what are the acts of worship, except a refinement for the soul, purification for it and an education for it upon correct manners and higher ideals?”

Islam has Emancipated Mankind from the Worst Form of Slavery:

“So the greatest blessing from Allāh upon him is that Islām has liberated man from the slavery, the disgrace and the degradation of Shirk.”

On Equality in Islam:

“O people!  Indeed, your Lord is one and your father (i.e. Ādam) is one.  A non-Arab is no better than an Arab, nor is an Arab any better than a non-Arab.  And there is no excellence for a black person over a white one, nor is there any excellence for a white person over a black one, except due to taqwā (righteousness).  The Religion of Islām has preserved human rights in truth; it has preserved them in all aspects of life.”

The Right to Life in Islam:

“And from Islām’s concern for mankind is that it has made aggression unlawful upon him.  So Islām affirms his right to life and it affirms that life is a right for him.  No one is allowed to take a life, except for the One who granted it (i.e. Allāh), and He is capable of all things.”

On Women’s Rights in Islam:

“It has liberated her from those who seek to oppress her, whether they do it by depriving her of her rights, or by trying to deprive her of her Religion and sense of honour.  Islām has safeguarded her honour and protected her nobility.  So Islām respects the woman as a mother, a wife, a daughter and a sister.”

On Rights of the Family:

“So it gave the parents their rights, and the wife her rights and the husband his rights and to the children their rights.  And in Islām the neighbours have rights.  And Islām has concern for the neighbours, concern for the relatives and the close companions.”

True Human Rights are in Islam:

“The rights are not a favour granted by human beings.  Rather, they are from the favour of Allāh.  There are rights within Islām that mankind in general deserves, rights with regards to politics, economics, education and societal rights.  These rights have been affirmed by Islām and they do not change, because they have been issued by the Sharī’ah of Islām.”

“And if the Muslims were to ponder carefully upon the Book of Allāh and the Sunnah of His Prophet, they would surely see that the truth and justice is within these two – always and forever.”

By Shaykh Mashhoor Hasan Salmaan
A reply to the question: Do you advise a Muslim to follow one of the four madhaahib, using it as a source reference whenever there are conflicting opinions? Does following a madh-hab lead to success? And should a Muslim follow the opinion of other scholars as found in the books (of fiqh) that mentions the various opinions (of the different madhaahib)? 

Thus, whoever calls to following one imaam to the exclusion of the others, and obligates the ummah to follow that particular scholar - from amongst the four Imaams or those before or after them - then this person is misguided, sinful, and innovative. We are not Bakrees, ‘Umarees, ‘Uthmaanees, or ‘Alawees. We are Muslims who submit to the commands of Allaah Azza wa Jal. Hence we do not worship except Allaah, and we do not follow except the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam). We ascribe ourselves to Islaam. So the call that it is obligatory to follow only one scholar is misguidance and impermissible, and this is what took place amongst the latter generations of those who adhere to a madh-hab.

 

Answered by Shaykh Mashhoor Hasan Salmaan

Question (nos. 233): Should a person be obliged to take a medical checkup before marriage?

‘Life was simple and honesty was the premise in the first generation. It was never their policy to hide and not disclose faults. This is why when the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) asked to marry Umm Salamah, she said to the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم), “Yaa Rasullullaah I am a woman prone to jealousy, I have dependents (children), I am old, and I cannot give birth.” Thus, she clearly stated her faults. Hence the Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to her, “As for me, I am older than you. As for your jealousy, I will make du’aa to Allaah azza wa jal that He rids you of it, and as for the children, then (their care) is upon Allaah and His Messenger.”’

Lectures from the Recent Unity Conference in NJ:

Inshaa` Allaah, we will be presenting the lectures delivered at the recent Unity conference held at Masjidul-Bayaan, Asbury Park NJ.  The first lecture is presented by brother Aadam Lazarus, a recent graduate of the Islaamic University in al-Madeenah.

The Unity of Ahlus-Sunnah in their Position Against Ahlul-Bid’ah - Our brother, Aboo Ramlah Aadam Lazarus bases this reminder upon a lecture delivered by Shaykh Rabee’ Ibn Haadee entitled, “The Correct Position Against the People of Innovation.” The speaker first defines who are the people of Sunnah and who are the people of Bid’ah (innovation), then he speaks about some of the Salafee brothers who are negligent in dealing with the people of bid’ah and who are put off when topics of manhaj are discussed. Towards the end, the speaker brings more benefits from the speech of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee, such as the claim that refutation of the people of bid’ah must come from a Scholar only and other doubts.
