Author: Shaykhul-Islaam ‘Abdul-Wahhaab, exp. by Shaykh Fawzaan
Paperback: 160 Pages (expanded 2nd edition)
Published: October, 2004, April, 2008

The classic work of the great scholar of Najd, Shaykh al-Islaam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhaab (may Allaah have Mercy on him), Nawaaqidh al-Islaam, “The Things that Nullify One’s Islaam,” is explained by the virtuous shaykh, Saalih al-Fawzaan (may Allaah preserve him), passage by passage, in a way that will help the Muslims grasp a clear understanding of the nature of the things that nullify one’s Islaam and its manifestations.

Stated Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan in his introduction:

” Knowledge of them is very important for the Muslim, so that he can stay away from them and be warned about them. And also if the Muslim is not aware of them, then it is feared that he may somehow fall into one of them. It is an issue of great significance and extreme importance, since they are the very things that nullify one’s Islaam and invalidate it. So then knowledge of the reasons for apostasy is very important ”

Included are 33 questions on the topic, answered by Shaykh Saalih himself, a number of passages from his other works in the footnotes and in separate appendixes, along with the complete text of the original “Things that Nullify One’s Islaam” in Arabic. This publication is expected to have a great impact on the Muslims’ understanding of their Religion, in shaa’ Allaah, and cause many to take heed about vital affairs that have often been ignored or given little regard.

I’m a Registered Summer Course Student, How Do I Access the Room?
Check your email (the one you signed up to the courses with) for the private URL to access the courses with. The URL will be emailed out to all registered students before Tue. 24^th of June 2008 insha’Allah. There will be a test-run on Wed. June 25th @ 7PM-9PM EST for those who want to sign in and test out the room. This opportunity is being provided to make sure you are able to login and answer any questions you may have.

I Like PalTalk, Why Not Use It?
PalTalk does not allow you to view the video stream (without purchasing an upgraded account) and is a free product of very low quality. After consultation with PalTalk representatives, they advised us that the best solution would be their other new product HearMe which is a professional solution that is much more feature-rich and we will all benefit from avoiding PalTalks banners, advertisements and interference from harassing users who stop by to make trouble etc. It is a much better solution.

Can I Use My PalTalk Username on Hearme?
Yes and No. Even though HearMe and PalTalk are related, you will need to create an account on Hearme. Please create exactly the same account as the PalTalk username you provided in your registration to avoid complications. You will be able to create your account when we send out the private URL for the courses.

We hope that Shaikh Wasi’Ullah will see through the lies and fabrications of the blind followers of this group. And those who have an atom’s weight of justice from the youthful defenders of this Jam’iyyah should hasten to repent, rectify and inform Shaikh Wasi’ullah of all of this so that the Shaikh understands the reality of this organisation.

Forum Discussion: http://www.troid.org/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=294&func=showcat&catid=15

By Shaykh Muhammad al-Anjaree

An introductory advice concerning sticking to the correct manhaj. Shaykh Muhammad explains some of the core foundations of the Islamic methodology. A tele-link with Shaykh Muhammad al-Anjaree from the Apr. ‘07 Seminar ‘Islam in our Times’ in Toronto, Canada. A good lecture for the person who is new to the Sunnah or new to issues of Manhaj and would like to understand some basic principles.

From the benefits discussed:

• Understanding Islam based upon the Qur’an, Sunnah and the understanding of the salafus-saalih
• Answering the claim: we follow the Qur’an, the Sunnah and ‘Ijmaa (what’s agreed upon)
• Answering the claim: we need to form a new jama’ah (group) or organised movement in order to establish an Islamic state
• The Fitnah (problem) of the common Muslims (or common speakers) making takfeer (declaring Muslims to be apostates)
• The importance of the Muslim youth clinging to the major scholars of Islaam towards understanding their deen and taking their positions View this Item

By Shaykh Mashhoor Hasan Salmaan

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.”’

By Shaykh Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi’ee

Thus, it is mandatory to expose falsehood and defend the da’wah whilst you are busy propagating the call –and all praise belongs to Allaah. However, we do not want ourselves to become preoccupied with refuting this person and that person as this is what they desire for us to do. We occupy ourselves with calling to Allaah and in the course of the sermons (khutab) or talks we refute those who are intent on hindering people from good.

Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen on Working with the Islaamic Parties

The noble Scholar, Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen is asked if it is from wisdom to work with the parties that ascribe themselves to Islaam in order to confront the Secularists and Communists, or is it from wisdom to not work with such Islaamic parties and completely abandon political work. Though the answer was given years ago, we find it highly appropriate in light of the recent calls to participate in the electoral process and to co-operate with the people of innovation!

Truly, the aims mentioned in the question above to Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-’Uthaymeen are the same ones that Yasir Qadhi and his followers seek to achieve with their pledge of unity upon falsehood.

Yasir Qadhi wrote that from the aims of the recent pledge for unity upon falsehood is, “…and at a community level they should come together in order to counter any and all negative and false images of Islam.”

He also wrote, “Therefore there needs to be a more pragmatic and realistic attempt at cooperation, one that retains our traditionalisms and respects our historical traditions, yet at the same time takes into account the context of our current political and social situation.”

The fellow pledgee, Tawfique Chowdhury, hurried to chime in, “As far as I am concerned, I am convinced that the state of dawah that we are in, with our religion being insulted at every second article and our Prophet at every second cartoon editorial, the very future existence of muslims minorities at question and our own muslim countries being erroded day by day through the silent work of missionaries - it then falls upon the able, to unite in a manner and upon a platform that is possible to unite on, to present a more cohensive front to the intellectual, political and media onslaught on our way of life and our values and ideals.”

So they wish to confront the political and media onslaught against Islaam by uniting with the people of innovation and getting involved in political work - thus leaving off the manhaj of the Salafus-Saalih - the manhaj of at-tasfiyah wat-tarbiyah (purification and education). Rather, they seek to compromise and water-down the manhaj in order accomodate their friends from the people of innovation.

Previously, we had presented the words of Imaam al-Albaanee who said the same as Imaam Ibnul-’Uthaymeen about this superficial unity:

http://www.sunnahpublishing.net/audio/unityasharee.wma

Shaykh al-Albaanee on Unity with the Ash’arees, Soofees and Maatureedees.

The noble muhaddith, Imaam Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee rahimahullaah clarifies the futility of those who want to unite Salafees along with Soofees, Ash’arees and Maatureedees, with the argument that if we overlook our major differences, we will then be able to face the enemies of Islaam and the Muslims. As the Shaykh explains, such people want us to abolish the Sharee’ah of Allaah for the sake of this superficial and ill-conceived unity.

However, the advices from the Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah, such as al-Albaanee and Ibnul-’Uthaymeen, do not hold any weight with Yasir and his ilk, because he turns to others for guidance, “Others whom I respect and would turn to for guidance in matters related to the situation of Western Muslims are Sh. Jafar Idris and Sh. Salah al-Sawi. I spoke with both of these Shaykhs about cooperating on a public level with certain famous individuals (who have also signed the pledge)…”

And Ja’far was way ahead of Yasir in uniting with the people of innovation in order to confront the western onslaught against Islaam…

Ja’far Idris said in a lecture entitled, “Unity Among Western Muslim Communities” delivered more than a decade ago, “I think it is very important for Muslims living in the West - let us just confine ourselves to the United States - it is very important for Muslims living in the West to be united, because, as I said, I think yesterday, whether we like it or not, we are all considered as Muslims. There is only one label, and sometimes even fundamentalist Muslims. And even those who don’t go to the mosque, since they are Muslims they will be called fundamentalists. And someone said all Muslims are by definition fundamentalists. So there is no way of running away from this, we are all Muslims, we are all fundamentalists, according to some people, and we will be treated as such, so it is better for us to be united. The ideal thing is for all the Muslims, all over the United States, to have one organization, one leadership. And that organization will include all Muslims, whether they are Salafis, or people who have some deviation from the Sunnah, because the Prophet sallallaahu `alaihi wa sallam said that this Ummah will be divided - you know the hadeeth of the Prophet - that they will be divided, but all those divisions are divisions of Muslims.”

As for Yasir’s other guide, the cowardly Qa’dee (inciter to revolution) known as Salaah as-Saawee - or Salaah al-Ghaawee (Salaah the misguided) as Shaykh Muqbil used to call him, then read below for an exposition of his covert Khaarijee manhaj:

http://www.sunnahpublishing.net/modules/Manhaj/sitters.pdf

Salaah as-Saawee and the Qa’diyyah: A Revolutionary Movement

The Khawaarijul-Qad’iyyah (inciters) are a revolutionary movement from ancient times, as well as the present. They are those who sit atop the pulpits and in other places and incite the people to revolt against their rulers without actually revolting themselves.
