<b>Chapter One: The Meaning of the Word “Salaf”</b><br />
<br />
<b>The Linguistic Meaning:</b><br />
<br />
Ibn Mandhoor said: “The words Salaf, Saleef and Salafah all refer to the unified group of the past.” [1]<br />
<br />
Abus-Sa’adaat Ibn-ul-Atheer said: “It is said that the Salaf amongst people are those who died previously, such as one’s forefathers and relatives. This is why the first generation, such as the Taabi’een, were called the Salaf as-Saalih (pious predecessors).” [2] <br />
<br />
‘Abdul-Kareem As-Sam’aanee said: “The word ‘Salafee’ with an ‘a’ after the S and L and ending with an F is an ascription to the Salaf and an attribution to their beliefs.” [3] <br />
<br />
After quoting these words from As-Sam’aanee, Abul-Hasan Ibnul-Atheer Al-Jazree said: “A group of people were known by this ascription.” [4] <br />
<br />
<b>The Religious Meaning:</b> <br />
<br />
Imaam As-Safaareenee said: “What is meant by the <i>madh-hab </i>(belief) of the Salaf is that which the Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, adhered to, as well as the distinguished ones who followed them upon goodness, their successors and the Imaams of the Religion – those who received testimony as to their leadership, were known for their great status in the Religion and whose words are taken by the people after the Salaf, apart from those who are accused of innovation or renowned for unacceptable ascriptions such as the Khawaarij, Rawaafid, Qadariyyah, Murji’ah, Jabariyyah, Jahmiyyah, Mu’atazilah, Karaamiyyah and those similar to them.” [5] <br />
<br />
The Permanent Committee (for Research and Verdicts) was asked: “What is Salafiyyah, and what is your opinion concerning it?” <br />
<br />
So they replied: “Salafiyyah is an ascription to the Salaf. The word ‘Salaf’ refers to the Companions of Allaah’s Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) and the Imaams of guidance from the first three generations of whom the Messenger of Allaah (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) testified for as to their superiority when he said: <b>‘The best of mankind is my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come a people who will bear witness before taking an oath, and take an oath before bearing witness.’</b> [Reported by Imaam Ahmad in his Musnad, Al-Bukharee and Muslim] <br />
<br />
The word Salafiyoon is the plural of Salafee, and it is an ascription to the Salaf. The meaning of the word Salaf has already been mentioned. Furthermore, it also refers to those who follow the methodology of the Salaf, which entails following the Book and the Sunnah, calling the people to them and acting upon them. So as a result of this, they become the adherents of the Sunnah and the unified body (Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah).” [6] <br />
<br />
Our teacher, Muhammad Amaan bin ‘Alee Al-Jaamee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “When we use the word ‘Salaf’ generally, from a religious standpoint, we mean by it: The Companions of Allaah’s Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) – i.e. those who were present during his lifetime and accepted the Religion from him directly…those who also fall under this term are the ones who followed them – those who inherited their knowledge before a long time had passed and those who fall under the testimony and praise of Allaah’s Messenger for them that they were the best of mankind, when he (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>‘The best of mankind is my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them.’ </b>This term (Salaf) also includes the successors of the Taabi’een.” [7] <br />
<br />
Our teacher, Saalih bin ‘Abdillaah Al-‘Abood, said: “What is intended by the term ‘Salafiyyah’ is: Following the way of the Pious Predecessors (Salaf as-Saalih) of this Muslim ummah, who are in fact Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah. This means uniting oneself and gathering others upon the following of the Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>), in hidden and in open, and following the way of the first and foremost from the Muhaajireen and Ansaar, who followed them in goodness.” [8] <br />
<br />
Shaikh Bakr bin ‘Abdillaah Abu Zaid said: “If it is said: the Salaf or the Salafees or their efforts, Salafiyyah, then these are all ascriptions to the Salaf as-Saalih (righteous predecessors), which includes all of the Companions, may Allaah be pleased with them, as well as those who followed them in goodness, excluding those who were driven by vain desires. Those who remained firm upon the methodology of the prophets (after them) were ascribed to their righteous predecessors because of that. And so they were called: Salaf, Salafees, and their ascription would be: Salafee. So based on this, the term Salaf means the righteous predecessors. When used generally, this term means: Everyone that strives to follow the Companions, even if they are in our time, and so on. This is what the scholars all agree on. So it is an ascription, which can be traced back to the Book and the Sunnah, and it is an ascription that cannot be separated for even a moment from the first generation (i.e. Salaf), rather it was from them and returns to them. As for the one who opposed them by using a different name or ascription, then no (he is not from them), even if he lived amongst them and was their contemporary. This is why the Companions were free from the Qadariyyah and the Murji’ah.” [9] <br />
<br />
He also said: “Be a Salafee upon earnestness, following the way of the pious predecessors , as well as those after them, who followed their footsteps in all aspects of the Religion, such as Tawheed, acts of worship and so on…” [10] <br />

<b>Question:</b> Why use the name Salafee? Is it a call towards a party or a group or a madh-hab (school of thought)? Or is it a new sect in Islaam?<br />
<br />
<b>Answer:</b> Indeed, the word Salaf is well known in the Arabic language as well as in the religious terminology. But what concerns us here, is its discussion from the religious standpoint. Thus, it has been authentically reported on the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, that during the sickness from which he died from, he said to Faatimah, radyAllaahu 'anhaa: <b>"So fear Allaah and have patience. And I am the best Salaf (predecessor) for you."</b> [Saheeh Muslim: no. 2450]<br />
<br />
Furthermore, the scholars have used this word "Salaf" many times, such that it would be too abundant to number and take into account. Sufficient for us, is one example, and it was that which they have used in their battle against innovations:<br />
<br />
<i>"And every good lies in following he who has preceded,<br />
while every evil lies in the innovating of he who came after."</i><br />
<br />
However, there are from those who claim to have knowledge, some people who reject this ascription, claiming that there is no basis for it! And so they say: "It is not permissible for a Muslim to say: 'I am a Salafee.'" So it is as if he is saying that it is not permissible for a Muslim to say: "I am following the Salaf As-Saalih (the Pious Predecessors) in what they were upon from beliefs, worship and methodology"! There is no doubt that such a rejection - if that is what he intended - necessitates that one free himself from the correct Islaam, which the righteous predecessors were upon, at the head of whom was the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. This is as is indicated in the mutawaatir hadeeth found in the two Saheehs and other than them, that he, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said:<br />
<br />
<b>"The best of mankind is my generation, then those that come after them, then those that come after them."</b><br />
<br />
So it is not permissible for a Muslim to absolve himself from this ascription to the righteous predecessors, whereas, if he were to absolve himself from any other ascription, none of the scholars would be able to ascribe him with disbelief or sinfulness.<br />
<br />
As for the one who rejects this name from himself, will you not see him ascribing himself to one of the madh-habs?! Regardless of whether this madh-hab is related to 'Aqeedah (Creed) or Fiqh (Jurisprudence)? So he is either Ash'aree or Matureedee. Or perhaps he is from the people of Hadeeth or Hanafee, or Shaafi'ee or Maalikee or Hanbalee or whatever else enters into the title of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah. But the one who ascribes himself to the Ash'aree madh-hab or to one of the four madh-habs is in fact ascribing himself to individuals that are not infallible, without a doubt, even if there were scholars among them who were correct (in their verdicts). I wish I knew - would these people reject the likes of these ascriptions to individuals who are not free from error?<br />
<br />
As for the one who ascribes himself to the Salaf As-Saalih (righteous predecessors), then he indeed ascribes himself to infallibility (<i>'ismah</i>), in the general sense. The Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, has mentioned that one of the signs of the Saved Sect is that they will hold tightly onto what the Messenger of Allaah, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, was upon and what his Companions were upon. So whosoever holds tightly onto them, then he is certainly upon the guidance from his Lord.<br />
<br />
And furthermore, it is an ascription that brings honor to the one that ascribes himself to it, and one that facilitates for him the way of the Saved Sect. And these matters do not apply to anyone that ascribes himself to any other ascription, since they are not free from one of two things. Either it is an ascription to a specific individual that is not infallible or it is an ascription to a group of people who follow the methodology of this individual who is not infallible. So there is no infallibility (in their ascriptions) either way. On the opposite of this, there is the infallibility of the companions of the Prophet, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, (as a whole). And it is that which we have been commanded to hold tightly onto, from his Sunnah and the Sunnah of his Companions after him.<br />
<br />
And we must persist and strongly emphasize that our understanding of Allaah's Book and the Sunnah of his Messenger, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, be in accordance with the methodology of his, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, Companions. This is so that we can be upon infallibility, as opposed to inclining away towards the right or the left, or deviating with an understanding that comes solely from ourselves, of which there is not found in the Book of Allaah or the Sunnah of His Messenger, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, that which provides evidence for it.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, why is it not sufficient for us to ascribe ourselves to (just) the Qur'aan and the Sunnah? The reason goes back to two matters, the first of which is related to the religious texts, and the second of which is due to the appearance of numerous Islaamic groups.<br />
<br />
With regard to the first reason, then we find in the religious texts, a command to obey something else in connection with the Qur'aan and the Sunnah, as is found in Allaah's saying:<br />
<br />
<b>"And obey Allaah and obey His Messenger and those in authority over you."</b><br />
<br />
So if there were someone in authority, who was given the oath of allegiance by the Muslims, it would be obligatory to obey him just as it would be obligatory to obey the Qur'aan and the Sunnah. This is in spite of him, as well as those around him, committing errors. So it would be obligatory to obey him in order to repel the harm of differences of opinions. And this is with the well-known condition: <b>"There is no obedience to the creation in disobeying the Creator."</b> [See <i>Silsilat-ul-Ahaadeeth As-Saheehah</i>: no. 179]<br />
<br />
And Allaah, may He be Exalted, says:<br />
<b>"And whosoever opposes the Messenger after the guidance has been clearly explained to him, and he follows a way other than the way of the believers, We will turn him to what he has chosen and burn him in Hell - what an evil destination."</b> [Surah An-Nisaa: 115]<br />
<br />
Indeed, Allaah, Mighty and Sublime, is free and far removed from all imperfections and defects. And there is no doubt or uncertainty that His mentioning of "the way of the believers" here, is only due to an immense and comprehensive wisdom and benefit. So it indicates that there is an important obligation - and it is that our following of the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, must be in accordance with what the first Muslims were upon. And they are the Companions of Allaah's Messenger, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, then those who came after them, then those who came after them. And this is what the da'wat-us-salafiyyah (The Salafee Call) invites and calls to. And it is that which is its main priority in the foundation of its call and the methodology of its educating process.<br />
<br />
Indeed, the Salafee Call truly unites the ummah, while any other call only causes division to the ummah. Allaah, Mighty and Sublime, says:<br />
<br />
<b>"O you who believe, fear Allaah, and be with the truthful."</b> [Surah At-Tawbah: 119]<br />
<br />
So anyone that makes a distinction between the Book and the Sunnah from one perspective and between the Salaf As-Saalih (Righteous Predecessors) from another perspective, then he can never be truthful.<br />
<br />
As for with regard to the second reason, then the groups and parties of today do not direct at all towards the following of "the Way of the Believers", which has been mentioned in the ayah. And there are some ahaadeeth, which further confirm and support that ayah, such as the hadeeth of the seventy-three sects. All of them will be in the Hellfire except one. The Messenger of Allaah, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, described them as: "The one which is upon the same thing that I and my companions are upon today." [See <i>As-Saheehah</i>: no. 203 & 1492]<br />
<br />
This hadeeth resembles that ayah which mentions the <b>"Way of the Believers"</b>. Also, there is the hadeeth of Al-'Irbaad Ibn Saariyah, radyAllaahu 'anhu, in which he, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said: <b>"So stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly-guided Khaleefahs after me."</b> [See <i>Irwaa-ul-Ghaleel</i>: no. 2455] So therefore, there are two Sunnahs: The Sunnah of the Messenger, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and the Sunnah of the righteous Khaleefahs.<br />
<br />
So there is no doubt that we - us who come in a later time - we must return back to the Qur'aan, the Sunnah and the Way of the Believers. And it is not permissible for us to say: "We can understand the Qur'aan and the Sunnah by themselves, without turning towards what the righteous predecessors were upon."<br />
<br />
There must be an ascription in this time that distinguishes and is detailed. So it is not sufficient for us to say, "I am a Muslim" only! Or "My madh-hab is Islaam"! For every sect says that! - the Raafidee, the Ibaadee, the Qadyianee, as well as other sectarians!! So what is it that distinguishes you from them?<br />
<br />
And if you were to say, "I am a Muslim who is upon the Qur'aan and the Sunnah", this would also not be sufficient. This is because, the members of these sects - of the Ash'arees and the Matureedees and the Hizbees - they all claim to follow these two sources also. So there is no doubt that the clear, plain, distinctive and decisive classification is to say, "I am a Muslim who is upon the Qur'aan and the Sunnah and upon the methodology of the Salaf As-Saalih (Pious Predecessors). And that can be said in short by saying, "I am a Salafee."<br />
<br />
So based on this, indeed the truth which is unavoidable, is that it is not enough to rely on the Qur'aan and the Sunnah without the methodology of the Salaf, for it explains these two with regard to understanding and concept, knowledge and action, and da'wah (calling) and Jihaad.<br />
<br />
And we know that they (the Sahaabah), may Allaah be pleased with them, did not used to fanatically cling onto one specific madh-hab or to one specific individual. So there was not found amongst them he who was Bakree (a follower of Abu Bakr), or 'Umaree (a follower of 'Umar), or 'Uthmaanee (a follower of 'Uthmaan) or 'Alawee (a follower of 'Alee). Rather, if it were more easy for one of them to ask Abu Bakr or 'Umar or Abu Hurairah, he would ask any of them. This is because they believed that it was not permissible to have total and unrestricted devotion in following, except to one individual. Indeed, he was the Messenger of Allaah sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, the one who did not speak from his own desire, rather it was only revelation revealed to him.<br />
<br />
And if we were to submit to these criticizers, for the sake of argument, that we would name ourselves "Muslims" only, without ascribing ourselves to the Salaf - in spite of it being an honorable and correct ascription. Would they abandon classifying themselves with the names of their parties or their madh-habs or their ways - based on the fact that they are not prescribed in the Religion nor are they correct?<br />
<br />
<i>"So this contrast between us is enough for you<br />
And every container will eventually let out what is in it."</i><br />
<br />
And Allaah is the Guide to the Right Path. And He, free is He from all defects, is the One in whom we seek assistance. [1]<br />

<span class="Footnotes"> [1] <b>Translator's Note:</b> It must be noted here that there is a difference between one ascribing himself to the Salaf and thus syaing he is Salafee and one taking that as part of his name, calling himself i.e. Abu Fulaan As-Salafee. This (latter example) is not what is intended here by the speech of our noble scholar, Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee, as can be seen in his example, since he did not used to attach the phrase "as-Salafee" at the end of his name. Neither was this the example set forth by the other major scholars of our time, such as Imaams Ibn Baaz, Ibn 'Uthaimeen and Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi'ee. In spite of this, they were salafee in their Creed and their Methodology and when asked as to their methodology, they never hesitated to say that they were salafee or upon the Salafee Manhaj, and Allaah knows best.<br />

<b>The Salafee Manhaj</b><br />
<br />
1. We worship Allaah by way of Tawheed. So we do not supplicate to anyone besides Allaah nor do we seek refuge in anyone besides Him in matters of bringing about good or repelling some harm. We perform worship by having hatred and enmity for the polytheists. However, we are obligated to call them to Tawheed first and clarify to them that there is no Islaam without Tawheed and that whoever calls unto other than Allaah has committed disbelief. So whoever persists after that, then at that point we are obligated to distance ourselves from him and hate him for the sake of Allaah.<br />
<br />
2. The Creed of the Salaf is established upon the principle that <b>"Allaah is described with what He has described himself with in His Book and upon the tongue of His Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>), without resorting to tahreef, tamtheel, tashbeeh, ta’teel or ta’weel."</b> [1]<br />
<br />
3. We affirm for Allaah the best of Names, which He has affirmed for Himself and which He has praised Himself with, whether they are mentioned in the Qur’aan or the Sunnah.<br />
<br />
4. We believe that there is no path towards achieving Allaah’s contentment, or a way towards Paradise, except through the Way of Allaah’s Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>). And whoever seeks a way towards gaining Allaah’s contentment through other than the Way of Allaah’s Messenger, then he has gone astray and been blinded from the truth. And he has lost in this world and the next.<br />
<br />
5. We believe that the Legislation of Allaah is what has been brought down through the two revelations: The Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>). This is what our Lord has indicated in his saying: <b>"Then we placed you on a Sharee'ah (Legislated System) based on Our Command, so follow it, and do not follow the desires of those who have no knowledge."</b> [Surah Al-Jaathiyah: 18]<br />
<br />
6. We believe that the Qur’aan is the Speech of Allaah, which was revealed and not created, and that the Sunnah is what explains and clarifies it. The Qur’aan is interpreted by the Sunnah and by the interpretations of the Sahaabah (Companions) and those who followed them in goodness. So the interpretation of the Qur’aan is by way of the narration, meaning by way of the Sahaabah, the Taabi’een and the Ahaadeeth concerning it. And the books that contain these interpretations are the ones we are obligated to acquire and read, such as the Tafseer of Ibn Jareer, the Tafseer of Ibn Katheer, the Tafseer of Al-Baghawee, the Tafseer <i>"Ad-Durr Al-Manthoor"</i> of As-Suyootee and so on.<br />
<br />
7. We are obligated to take the Sunnah according to the way of the Muhadditheen - in terms of their authenticity or weakness. So we take what is found to be authentic and leave off what is weak.<br />
<br />
8. We worship Allaah by obeying the rulers, as long as they are Muslims who seek judgement through Allaah’s Legislation and who establish the prescribed punishments, and as long as they establish the prayer. Obeying them is an obligation even if they commit oppression. And whoever says something contrary to this and makes it permissible to revolt against the Muslim leader, even if he may be oppressive, then he is an innovator and a deviant. And it is obligatory on the Muslim scholars to refute this statement of his and to expose his deviance.<br />
<br />
9. We hold that it is not permissible to spread the faults of the leaders, because doing this influences and brings about trials and afflictions (fitan), and causes them to spread.<br />
<br />
10. We are obligated to worship Allaah through the Sunnah, by following it and by loathing innovations and the innovators. This is based on the Prophet’s saying: <b>"Whoever does a deed, which is not in accordance to our affair (i.e. the Sunnah) is rejected."</b> And in another narration: <b>"Whoever introduces into our affair (Sunnah) that which isn’t part of it is rejected."</b><br />
<br />
This is a summary and some brief words on the Creed of the Salaf, which we are obligated to accept and follow if we truly want salvation and the truth. And we must renounce those opinions of men, which cannot be traced back to any source of evidence, since men are known by way of the truth and the truth is not known by way of men. Lastly, we must beg and implore Allaah to show us the truth as true and enable us to follow it, and to show us the falsehood as false and enable us to avoid it. Indeed Allaah is Responsible for that and Able to make it happen. And may the peace and blessings of Allaah be on Muhammad - the best, most dutiful, most pious and purest of creation - and on his family and his Companions.<br />

<div style="clear: none;"><br />
Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan was asked: “What is your advice to the male guardians of certain women that are lax when it comes to the issue of the Hijaab and who are engrossed in exposing their alluring bodily features to male-strangers in the markets and other places? What is the role of a woman’s male guardian in safeguarding her Religion?”<br />
<br />
So he replied: “Allaah says: <b>‘Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allaah has favored some of them (i.e. men) over others (women).’</b> [Surah An-Nisaa: 34] Allaah has enabled and entrusted men to take care of and be responsible for women. And He commanded the women to obey Him and forbade them from disobeying Him. This includes the Hijaab.The Hijaab is one of Allaah’s commandments. So therefore it is an obligation on her male-guardian to require her to wear it, regardless is he is her direct male-guardian such as her father, son, brother or someone who has guardianship over her, or if he is the general guardian, such as the Muslim ruler who may mandate the Muslim women to wear the Hijaab.<br />
<br />
So the Muslim ruler may oblige the women of his country to wear the Hijaab, in the general sense, while the male guardians in charge of households may oblige the women who live in their homes to wear the Hijaab (in the specific sense). They are responsible for these women. If the women knew that the general ruler in charge of her affairs as well as her specific male-guardian oblige her to obey Allaah and abandon disobeying Him, she would not put up any resistance in these matters. But when the male-guardians show laxity in these matters, the women become audacious. And there are callers to evil, lewdness, and hypocrisy behind them who encourage them to unveil and take off the Hijaab.<br />
<br />
So the matter today is dangerous. It is incumbent upon a woman’s male guardians – both the general and the specific ones – to assist and aid one another in obliging the women to abide by the Hijaab. It is also an obligation upon the male guardians, may Allaah grant them correctness, to silence the tongues of those who invite to evil and corruption – those who call to unveiling and to the removal of the Hijaab. This is what Allaah has entrusted them with.” [Ta’ammulaat fee Awaakhir Surat-il-Ahzaab: 47-48]<br />

As for the fruits of putting one’s trust in Allaah (i.e. <i>tawakkul</i>), then they are many. The greatest of them is that Allaah will suffice him in whatever he seeks after. <b>“And whoever puts his trust in Allaah, He will suffice him.”</b> [Surah At-Talaaq: 3]<br />
<br />
So whoever relegates his affairs to Allaah, relies on Him alone, and believes that no one can give him good or repel harm from him except Allaah, <b>“He will suffice him.”</b><br />
<br />
This means that Allaah will protect him from all harms since the recompense is based on the action a person does. So when someone puts his trust in Allaah in the correct manner, He rewards him by sufficing him and taking charge of his affairs. Allaah Himself takes charge of this individual’s affairs and does not relegate it to anyone else. This is the greatest fruit of <i>tawakkul</i> (reliance upon Allaah).<br />
<br />
Allaah says: <b>“O Prophet, Allaah is sufficient for you.”</b> [Surah Al-Anfaal: 64]<br />
<br />
And He says: <b>“And if they intend to deceive you, then verily Allaah is sufficient for you. It is He who supported you with His help and with the believers.”</b> [Surah Al-Anfaal: 62]<br />
<br />
So in summary: The greatest fruit of putting one’s trust in Allaah is that Allaah will suffice and take care of whoever relies in Him. This is why Allaah informs us of His Prophet Nooh when he told his people: <b>“If my staying with you and my reminding you of the verses of Allaah are hard on you, then I put my trust in Allaah. So devise your plot – you and your partners – and let not your plot be in doubt for you. Then pass your sentence on me and give me no respite.”</b> [Surah Yoonus: 71]<br />
<br />
And He quotes His Prophet Hood as saying: <b>“I am free from that which you ascribe as partners in worship apart from Him. So plot against me – all of you – and give me no respite. I put my trust in Allaah, my Lord and your Lord. There is not a creature that moves (i.e. lives) except that He has a grasp of its forelock. Verily, my Lord is on a Straight Path.”</b> [Surah Hood: 54-56]<br />
<br />
He quotes His Prophet Shu’aib as saying: <b>“And my guidance is only due to Allaah. In Him I trust and to Him I repent.”</b> [Surah Hood: 88]<br />
<br />
And He said to His Prophet Muhammad: <b>“Call your associates and then plot against me and give me no respite. Verily, my Protector is Allaah who has revealed the Book. He is the One who protects the righteous. And those whom you call upon besides Him cannot help you nor can they help themselves.”</b> [Surah Al-A’raaf: 195-197]<br />
<br />
Allaah informs us through the statements of these noble messengers that they challenged their people and their false deities to bring harm to them in some way. They did this because they had complete reliance on Allaah. And whoever puts his trust in Allaah, He will be sufficient for him.<br />
<br />
Another fruit of relying upon Allaah is that it brings about loves from Allaah, as He says: <b>“Verily, Allaah loves those who put their trust in Him.”</b> [Surah Aali ‘Imraan: 159]<br />
<br />
So if someone truthfully puts his trust in Allaah, Allaah will love him. And if Allaah loves this person, he will find success and happiness in this life and the next since he will be from among Allaah’s friends and allies.<br />
<br />
Also from the fruits of putting one’s trust in Allaah is that a person will proceed in doing beneficial things and not fear or dread anyone except Allaah. So for example, those who are engaged in Jihaad by way of fighting battles against disbelievers – they only do so because they put their trust in Allaah. So in turn, this reliance on Allaah instills courage and strength into them and as a result, all of the hardships and difficulties that face them become lessened. And they take delight in dying in the Way of Allaah and attaining martyrdom in His Cause. All of this is due to their reliance and trust in Allaah.<br />
<br />
Another fruit of putting one’s trust in Allaah is that it encourages one to go out and seek sustenance or to acquire knowledge or to do any of the other beneficial things. The one who puts his trust in Allaah perseveres and puts his heart into seeking after the useful and necessary means of life because he knows that Allaah is with those who rely on Him and that He will aid them. So he perseveres in seeking after all of the beneficial things of this life and the Hereafter and he is not from those who are lazy and weak.<br />
<br />
It is for this reason that the Companions were the bravest of people. They genuinely put their trust and reliance in Allaah to the point that they were able to conquer lands in the east and the west. They conquered lands through victory in battle and conquered hearts through calling them to Allaah. All of this was because they put their trust in Allaah and because they relied on Him. Allaah says: <b>“O you who believe, whoever amongst you apostates from his religion, Allaah will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him, humble towards the believers and stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Cause of Allaah and never fearing the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allaah which He bestows upon whom He wills. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knowing.”</b> [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 54]<br />
<br />
So they didn’t fear for the sake of Allaah the blame of the blamers since they relied on Him to the utmost degree and entrusted their affairs in Him absolutely. They did not turn to anyone else regardless if the people were content or discontent with it, so long as they continued to do what was pleasing to Allaah. It is stated in the hadeeth: <b>“Whoever seeks to please Allaah by (doing something that is) displeasing (to) the people, Allaah becomes pleased with him and makes the people pleased with him. And whoever seeks to please the people by (doing something that is) displeasing (to) Allaah, Allaah becomes displeased with him and makes the people displeased with him.”</b> [1]<br />
<br />
So relying upon Allaah, putting one’s trust in Him, and entrusting one’s affairs to Him is the foundation of Tawheed. It is the foundation of actions. And it is the foundation of goodness. This is why Allaah made it a condition of Faith, where He says: <b>“So in Allaah put your trust if you are truly believers.”</b> [Surah Al-Maa’idah: 23]<br />
<br />
There still remains one issue related to this topic, which we would like to discuss, and it is the issue of <i>tawkeel</i>, or delegating authority to someone else. If you entrust someone to obtain something for you, such as buying a product for you or renting something for you or litigating on your behalf, does this mean that you have put your trust in someone other than Allaah? No, this does not mean that. Choosing someone to represent you and act on your behalf is not <i>tawakkul</i>.<br />
<br />
<i>Tawakkul</i> means complete reliance and relegation of one’s affairs, which cannot be done except on Allaah.<br />
<br />
As for <i>tawkeel</i>, it is when you appoint someone else to obtain something permissible that you are looking for, which he has the ability to obtain. This is one of the allowable means. So hire a representative from the perspective of implementing the means and put your trust in Allaah when obtaining your objective from the perspective of worship. But do not put your trust (<i>tawakkul</i>) in this representative. Instead put your trust in Allaah.<br />
<br />
So therefore, commissioning someone else to handle some of your affairs does not violate your creed nor does it mean that you are putting your trust in someone other than Allaah. It is merely working hand in hand with someone towards achieving an objective. Allaah says:<b>“Assist one another in (matters of) piety and righteousness and do not assist one another in sin and transgression.”</b>[Surah Al-Maa’idah: 2]<br />
<br />
So a <i>wakeel</i> (representative) is only there to assist an individual by taking his place and serving as a means to get what he wants. In the same way that him doing something on his own constitutes a means, then likewise, his commissioning a representative to handle his affairs is also a means. And it does not fall under the realm of putting one’s trust in other than Allaah.<br />
<br />
In conclusion, I ask Allaah to make us and you from those who put their trust in Allaah in truth – those who implement the required means and rely upon their Lord, those who do not rely on anyone else nor entrust their affairs to anyone else. May Allaah send the peace and praises on our Prophet, Muhammad, his family and all of his Companions.<br />

<br />
We mentioned previously that good manners can either be present in someone naturally or they can be instilled into him (i.e. through learning). And we stated that inherent good manners are better than acquired good manners. We mentioned a proof for this which was the Messenger of Allaah’s (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) statement to Al-Ashaj bin ‘Abdil-Qais (<i>radyAllaahu ‘anhu</i>): <b>“Rather, Allaah has molded (i.e. created) you upon these two (noble characteristics) .”</b> [1]<br />
<br />
It is also because good manners that are innate do not disappear from a human being whereas good manners that are acquired may vanish from a person in many instances since it requires constant practice and effort as well as exercise and hard work. It also requires that one be reminded of it whenever there occurs something that affects a human being. This is why when a man once came to the Messenger of Allaah (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) and said to him: “O Messenger of Allaah, advise me”, he (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>“Do not get angry.”</b> The man then repeated his request several times, upon which the Prophet continued to reply: <b>“Do not get angry.”</b> [2]<br />
<br />
The Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) also said: <b>“The strong person is not the one who wrestles and overpowers his opponents. Rather the strong person is the one who controls himself in times of anger.”</b> [3]<br />
<br />
So a strong person is not someone who wrestles with people and overpowers them, He is someone <b>“who controls himself in times of anger.”</b> He takes hold of himself and restrains himself during instances when he becomes angry.<br />
<br />
A person controlling himself in times of anger is considered a characteristic of good manners. So if you become angry, do not let your anger penetrate, rather seek refuge in Allaah from the accursed Devil. And if you are standing, then sit down. If you are sitting, then lie down. And if your anger increases, then perform ablution (<i>wudoo</i>) until it goes away.<br />
<br />
A person may acquire and earn good manners by way of training (himself), working hard at it and through constant practice. So he may obtain good manners through one of the following methods:<br />
<br />
<b>First:</b> By contemplating on the Book of Allaah and the Sunnah of His Messenger: One should look up the texts that show the virtue of the particular noble characteristic that he wishes to characterize himself with. This is since when a believer sees some texts that praise a characteristic or action, he implements them. [4]<br />
<br />
The Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) indicated this when he said: <b>“The example of a good companion and an evil companion is like that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk either sells you (perfume), gives you free samples or you get a pleasing smell from him. As for the example of an evil companion – such as a blacksmith – he either burns your clothes or you get a nasty smell from him.”</b> [5]<br />
<br />
<b>Second: </b>He should accompany those who are known for having good manners whilst staying far away from those who possess bad manners and poor actions. This is such that he turns this companionship of his into an educational institute that assists him in (his goal of) obtaining good manners. The Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>“A man is upon the religion of his close friend, so let each of you look into whom he takes as a close friend.” </b>[6]<br />
<br />
<b>Third: </b>He should reflect on the consequences that come as a result of having bad manners. This is since a person with bad manners is despised. A person with bad manners is forsaken. A person with bad manners is always talked about in a bad way. So when one comes to realize that bad manners will lead him to all of this, he will then keep away from it.<br />
<br />
<b>Fourth: </b>He should always envision an image of the Prophet’s (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) manners and how he (<i>sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam</i>) would humble himself before the creation, being kind to them, forgiving to them and patient with their harm. So if a person visualizes the Prophet’s character and the fact that he was the best of mankind and the greatest of those who worshipped Allaah, he will then perceive a low image of himself and at this point the influence that arrogance has over him will be shattered and this will cause him to have good manners.<br />

So whoever purifies his soul through exercise, hard work and being in isolation – all of which the messengers did not come with – he is like a sick person that tries to cure himself based on his own opinion. Where is his opinion with respect to the expertise of a doctor?! The messengers are the doctors of the hearts – there is no way to purify and rectify the hearts except through their way, at their hands and by totally submitting and complying with them.

<div style="clear: none;"><br />
As for having good manners with the creation, then some of them have defined it as withholding abuse, extending kindness and having a cheerful countenance. This has been mentioned as a saying of Al-Hasan Al-Basree, may Allaah have mercy on him. [1]<br />
<br />
<b>First: The Meaning of Withholding Abuse:</b><br />
<br />
What is meant by withholding abuse is that a person refrains from harming others whether financially, spiritually or socially (i.e. by harming his reputation). So whoever does not withhold from harming the creation, he does not possess good manners. On the contrary, he is ill-mannered.<br />
<br />
The Messenger proclaimed the prohibition of harming a Muslim through any means of abuse. He did this during the greatest of gatherings in which he congregated with his ummah, saying: <b>"Indeed, your blood (i.e. lives), your wealth and your honor are sacred for you just like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this land of yours."</b> [2]<br />
<br />
If a man transgresses against people by taking their wealth or by committing fraud or by deceiving them or by hitting them and committing a crime against them or by reviling, backbiting or slandering them, such a person is not good-mannered towards people. This is since he has not refrained from harming others.<br />
<br />
And the sin of this becomes even greater every time his <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_2">bad manners</span> are directed towards someone who has a bigger right over you. So maltreatment of your parents, for example, is worse than you treating anyone else bad. Maltreatment of your relatives is worse than you treating strangers bad. And maltreatment of your neighbors is worse than treating those who are not your neighbors bad. This is why the Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>"By Allaah, he does not believe! By Allaah, he does not believe! By Allaah, he does not believe!"</b> They (i.e. the Companions) said: "Who O Messenger of Allaah?" He said: <b>"He whose neighbor is not safe from his calamities."</b> [3]<br />
<br />
<b>Second: The Meaning of Extending Kindness:</b><br />
<br />
The word <i>nadaa</i> (kindness) means generosity and courtesy, i.e. to extend one's generosity and courtesy to others. <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_3">Generosity</span> does not mean what some people think it to be, which is giving money only. Rather, generosity can also be by way of giving one's self, offering one's status (to assist), donating one's wealth and spreading one's knowledge.<br />
<br />
If we see an individual taking care of the people's needs by helping them, directing their affairs to those who are not able to reach them, spreading his knowledge amongst the people and donating his wealth to them, can we describe this man as having good manners? Yes, we can say he has good manners because he has extended kindness and generosity. This is why the Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said:<b>"Fear Allaah wherever you may be, and follow up an evil deed with a good deed, (for) it will wipe it out. And treat the people with good manners."</b> [4]<br />
<br />
What falls under treating the people with good manners is: If you are oppressed and maltreated by someone, you should pardon and forgive that person. Allaah has praised those who pardon others, as He says about the inhabitants of Paradise: <b>"Those who spend (in Allaah's Cause) during times of prosperity and adversity, who repress anger and who pardon people. Verily, Allaah loves the good-doers."</b> [Surah Aali 'Imraan: 134]<br />
<br />
And Allaah says: <b>"And to forego is closer to piety (Taqwaa)."</b> [Surah Al-Baqarah: 237]<br />
<br />
And He says: <b>"And let them pardon and forgive."</b> [Surah An-Noor: 22]<br />
<br />
And He says: <b>"So whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allaah."</b> [Surah Ash-Shooraa: 40]<br />
<br />
A person is in constant contact with people, so he will most definitely encounter some bad treatment from people. But his stance with regard to this bad treatment should be that of pardoning and overlooking. And he should know for certain that by pardoning, overlooking, and responding with good, the animosity that exists between him and his brother will transform to amicability, love and friendship. Allaah says:<b>"The good deed and the evil deed are not equal. Repel (the evil) with that which is better, then behold, the one between whom he and you there was enmity (will become) as though he were a close friend."</b> [Surah Fussilat: 34]<br />
<br />
Those of you who have knowledge of the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_4">Arabic language</span> should reflect on how the end-result is derived here via the abrupt mention of "<i>idhaa</i>" (which means "then behold" here). The abrupt mention of this word indicates that the result (at the end of the ayah) will come to pass immediately, and that is: <b>"…then behold, the one between whom he and you there was enmity (will become) as though he were a close friend."</b><br />
<br />
However, not everyone is granted this same result. This is why Allaah says: <b>"But none are granted it except those who are patient. And none are granted it except those who possess a great portion (of moral character)."</b> [Surah Fussilat: 35]<br />
<br />
Do we understand from this that pardoning a criminal is praiseworthy in the absolute sense and that it is something that we were ordered to do? Some people have come up with this understanding based on this verse. However, it should be known that pardoning should only be commended if forgiving is the best and most advisable option. However, if retribution is the best option then doing that is better. This is why Allaah says: <b>"The recompense for an evil is an evil the like thereof. But whoever forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is with Allaah. Verily, He likes not the wrongdoers."</b> [Surah Ash-Shooraa: 40] So here Allaah has linked forgiveness with reconciliation.<br />
<br />
So it is possible that forgiveness may not necessarily mean reconciliation. For example, it could be that this individual who committed a crime against you and was insolent towards you is an evil man who is known for being evil and corrupt, and so if you were to forgive him, he would persist in his evil and mischief. In this situation, it is better that this man is punished for his crime since there is reconciliation in this.<br />
<br />
Shaikh-ul-Islaam Ibn Taimiyyah said: "Reconciliation is obligatory whereas forgiveness is optional. So in the event that forgiveness will cause reconciliation to be bypassed, this means that we have given precedence to something optional over something obligatory. And the religious legislation did not come to institute this." And he has spoken truthfully, may Allaah have mercy on him.<br />
<br />
<b>An Important Note:</b><br />
<br />
I would like to take this opportunity to point out something that many people do today with the intention of being good and sympathetic. And it is that when a person gets into an accident and as a result another person dies, the guardians of the deceased come and revoke the blood-money that is owed by this offender that committed the accident. So is their canceling of the blood-money praiseworthy and considered as being from good manners or does this issue have more detail to it?<br />
<br />
There is more detail required on this issue. We must reflect and ponder on the condition of this offender who has caused this accident. Is he from among those people who are known to be careless and inconsiderate? Does he fall into the type of people that say: "I don't care if I run over somebody on the road because I already have his blood-money prepared inside my desk" and we seek refuge in Allaah!<br />
<br />
Or is he someone who has fallen into an accident even though he employed complete discretion and complete poise and balance, but in spite of this Allaah had already decreed all things to come to pass?<br />
<br />
If he falls under the second category of people, then forgiving him is better. However, even if he does fall under this second category of prudent and well-poised people, before we forgive him, we must look to see if the victim has any debt he owes.<br />
<br />
If the victim owes a debt, we cannot forgive the offender. And had we already pardoned the offender, the pardon would be dismissed. This is an issue that perhaps many people are unaware of. We say this because the heirs will assume entitlement of this blood-money from the victim that was killed in an accident, and their entitlement will not be satisfied until they pay back the deceased's debt if he owed someone money.<br />
<br />
This is why when Allaah mentions inheritance, He says: <b>"(The distribution in all cases is) after the payment of legacies he may have bequeathed or a debt (he owes)."</b> [Surah An-Nisaa: 11]<br />
<br />
The point is that forgiving people is part of good manners and it falls under the realm of extending kindness to others. This is since extending kindness can either be in the form of giving something or in the form of revoking something, and pardoning falls under revoking something.<br />
<br />
<b>Third: A Cheerful Countenance:</b><br />
<br />
Having a cheerful countenance means that your face is radiant and illuminated when you come in contact with other human beings. The opposite of this is to appear with a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_5">gloomy face</span>. This is why the Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>"Do not think little of any good deed, even if it is encountering your brother with a cheerful face."</b> [5]<br />
<br />
A poet put this understanding into a verse, saying:<br />
<br />
<i>"My son, indeed piety can be something so trivial,<br />
as a cheerful face and a soft-spoken tongue."</i><br />
<br />
So a cheerful face allows happiness to enter into people; it brings out love and amiability; and it causes the heart to expand – both yours and those you encounter.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, if you always appear upset, people will run away from you. They will not be happy sitting with you or talking to you. Perhaps you may even be afflicted with <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_6">psychological problems</span>. You may be suffering from a dangerous disease known as stress. If so, then being happy and having a cheerful face is from the most effective treatments one can use to combat this disease. This is why doctors advise those who are afflicted with this illness to keep away from those things that cause them to be instigated and angered since that will only cause their sickness to grow.<br />
<br />
So being happy and having a cheerful face causes this disease to be exterminated. And as a result of these two characteristics, a person will become loved by the people and dear to them.<br />
<br />
These are the three foundations that good manners when dealing with the creation revolve around.<br />
<br />
Also from the signs of good manners towards creation is: That a person observes good relations with those friends and relatives that he is contact with. He should not be bothered by them nor should he inconvenience them. On the contrary, he should cause happiness to go into their hearts according to the extent that he is able to, within the confines of Allaah's Legislation. This restriction is absolutely necessary since there are some people who cannot be made happy except with things that are disobedience to Allaah, and we seek refuge in Allaah! So we should not consent with him in this. However, causing happiness and joy to enter into those you keep ties with whether they are your family members, friends or relatives according to the limits of the Religion is part of having good manners. This is why the Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>"The best of you are those who are the best towards their family. And I am the best of you towards my family."</b> [6]<br />
<br />
Many people, unfortunately, display good manners in front of people yet they do not behave in the same manner towards their family. This is extremely wrong and the opposite of how things should be. How can you have good manners in front of strangers yet <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1234056058_7">bad manners</span> in front of your own family?<br />
<br />
Someone may say: Because I take care of them and support them! We respond by saying: This is not something that should cause you to display bad manners towards them. Your family members and relatives have the most right out of all people that you should be good-mannered towards them when accompanying and spending time with them. This is why when a man once asked the Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>): "O Messenger of Allaah, who has the most right amongst people of my good companionship", he (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) replied: <b>"Your mother."</b> The man said: "Then who?" He replied: <b>"Your mother."</b> The man said: "Then who?" He replied: <b>"Your mother."</b> The man said: "Then who?" He replied: <b>"Your father."</b> [7]<br />
<br />
In spite of this, some people behave contrary to this. So you will find him having a bad relationship with his mother while having a good relationship with his wife. So he gives having good ties with his wife precedence (over having good ties with his mother) whereas the status of his wife before him is like that of a captive. The Prophet (<i>sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam</i>) said: <b>"Take care of the women for indeed they are like captives before you."</b> [8]<br />
<br />
<b>In summary:</b> Keeping good relations with family, friends and relatives is all part of having good manners.<br />

[1] See <i>al-Adaab-ush-Shar'eeyah</i> (2/216); There are also other definitions for good manners such as the definition of Al-Waasitee, where he said: "It is when one does not argue due to his complete awareness of Allaah. It is also said it means the relinquishment of immoral characteristics and the adornment of virtuous characteristics. It is also said that it means offering the good while withholding the vile. Sahl was once asked about it so he replied: 'The lowest form of it is showing, tolerance, lack of retribution and mercy towards the wrongdoer, while asking Allaah to forgive him and showing sympathy towards him.'" [Refer to <i>Madaarij-us-Saalikeen</i> of Ibn Al-Qayyim (2/294), <i>Ihyaa 'Uloom-id-Deen</i> of Abu Haamid Al-Ghazaalee (3/53) and <i>al-Adaab-ush-Shar'eeyah</i> (2/216)]<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This is a translation of the book “Al-Fasl-ul-Mubeen fee Mas’alat-il-Hijrah wa Mufaaraqat-il-Mushrikeen” [A Conclusive Study on the Issue of Hijrah and Separating from the Polytheists] written by the well-known student of knowledge, Husayn bin ‘Awdah Al-‘Awaayishah. Many of the readers may already be aware of the author due to the large amount of his works that have been translated into the English language. However, this book differs from all of them due to the fact that it consists more of a research on the issue at hand and a relaying of the statements of the scholars from the past on this subject.<br />
<br />
This is explained well by the author in his introduction, when he says: “So due to Hijrah having the high position and status that it has, I decided to write what I could on it, seeking to voice myself through the words of our past scholars and Fuqahaa, by way of their books on Tafseer, Hadeeth and Fiqh. This was so that the conclusive opinion derived can be based on the upholders of knowledge and so that the resulting view can be from its people.”<br />
<br />
And he has spoken truthfully as the majority of his work consists of statements of the well-known scholars of the past on Hijrah, while some chapters have been added from the author’s own words to incite the readers and summarize what the scholars have stated.<br />
<br />
As an added benefit, thirteen appendixes have been placed at the end of the book containing the words of the present day scholars on Hijrah – those who have passed away and those still alive – so as to make this book as comprehensive on the subject as possible.<br />
<br />
Indeed, this is the first time, according to our observation, that such a book of this magnitude – in that it compiles the statements of the Muslim scholars, past and present – has ever been presented on this subject in the English language.<br />
<br />
The main reason such a project was undertaken was due to the urgent need for a clarification on this tremendous act of worship since, as the Prophet has foretold us, Islaam has and continues to enter every household and area and people are accepting Islaam while in the Lands of the Disbelievers. So the questions constantly arise and the discussions grow long on the aspect of Hijrah – is it obligatory or recommended or neither of the two? And the issue has become such that the people have become divided into two sides – one that absolutely mandates it on the people, paying no attention to its guidelines, etiquettes or detailed matters, and another that completely disregards it and considers it as being something abrogated and no longer part of the Religion.<br />
<br />
However, the true way of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa’ah is that of the middle course, between the two extremities. And this is what is outlined in detail here, such that the scholars, past and present, have spoken elaborately on this subject, clarifying it from every angle. So you will find in their statements a clarification on the rules of Hijrah, the types of Hijrah, the categories of people with regards to it, the definitions of the “Land of Islaam” and the “Land of Shirk”, those exempted from Hijrah, the conditions for residing in the Lands of Disbelief, and much more. Adding to the benefit, as stated above, is the words of the scholars of recent and present times, which give the reader remarkable insight into the issues of Hijrah as they apply in modern times, for indeed, even though the basis and rules of Hijrah do not change, its manner and surrounding factors change throughout the course of time. And this is evident in their statements, so refer to them. One may ask why there is a need for so many statements from so many different scholars on the same topic. But one only needs to read their statements to realize the variety and diversity of points of benefit raised by them, all of which serve to support one another and assist the reader in getting a universal understanding of Hijrah and all of its facets.<br />
<br />
We ask Allaah to make this unique effort sincerely for His sake and to make it a means for clarifying the truth regarding this magnificent act of worship to the masses of English-speaking Muslims. Verily, He is the All-Hearer of supplications and the Responder to them.<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This is the first book in the "Classical Knowledge Series" - a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. This particular book is a translation of the famous classical work "<i>Kitaab-ul-'Ilm</i>", a collection of narrations about the virtues, merits, manners, and etiquettes of knowledge, written by Imaam Abu Khaithama An-Nasaa'ee (Died 234H). In this initial installment, the reader will have a glimpse into the statements and actions of our pious predecessors with regard to seeking, spreading and implementing knowledge. There are over 160 narrations in total, including statements of the Prophet, his Companions, the Taabi'een and the suceeding early generations. In addition to this, the great scholar of Hadeeth of recent times, Imaam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee, has reviewed the treatise and verified the narrations contained within it, distinguishing the authentic from the weak. So this treatise is of great benefit and deserving of being read and studied by every Muslim, whether in gatherings or individually.<br />
<br />
Lastly, due to the nature of verifying narrations, many terms related to the Science of Hadeeth were employed by Imaam Al-Albaanee throughout the footnotes in the treatise. Explanations of these terms and concepts can be found in the Glossary section at the back of the book.<br />
<br />
We ask Allaah to make this publication a guiding light to those who read it and an invaluable resource of reference for those who study it and use it for research.<br />
<br />
<b>Important Note:</b><br />
This book contains the Arabic text for all of its narrations including the vowelization of all letters so as to make it an easy to study reference-guide. It is the perfect book for people to study in gatherings and circles or for one to just read on his own and encourage himself to seek and spread knowledge. May Allaah accept this effort.<br />
<br />
<b>About the Author:</b><br />
He was a great Haafidh (i.e. scholar of Hadeeth), reliable in narration and firm in memory. He narrated hadeeth from many scholars, the likes of Sufyaan bin ‘Uyainah, Hushaym bin Basheer, Yahyaa bin Sa’eed Al-Qattaan, ‘Abdur-Rahmaan bin Mahdee and Wakee’. Similarly, many scholars narrated from him, such as Al-Bukhaaree and Muslim, the latter of whom reported so many hadeeth on his authority, that they number past a thousand. The scholars agree unanimously upon his reliability and trustworthiness.<br />
<br />
Ibn Hibbaan (<i>rahimahullaah</i>) said of him: “He was precise and accurate in narration. And he was one of the close companions of Ahmad and Yahyaa bin Ma’een.”<br />
<br />
Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee (<i>rahimahullaah</i>) said: “He was reliable, trustworthy, a Haafidh (scholar of Hadeeth) and precise (in narration).”<br />
<br />
He was born in the year 160H and died in the year 234H, may Allaah have mercy on him.Thuriayaahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762286406339043764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745333235372311148.post-91323789329157306772009-11-09T16:25:00.001-08:002009-11-09T16:25:12.399-08:00Knowledge Mandates Action<span class="news"></span><br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This is the second book in the "Classical Knowledge Series", which is a collection of selected scholarly works from the past that deal with the subject of religious knowledge. The first book in this blessed series was “The Book of Knowledge” written by Imaam Abu Khaithamah Zuhayr bin Harb An-Nasaa’ee (Died 234H), may Allaah have mercy on him.<br />
<br />
Since that book served as an introduction to knowledge, its virtues, merits and manners, it seemed proper that the second book be dedicated to the next level of knowledge, which is its result and outcome, and that is righteous deeds. And what better work to present on this subject than the classic and well-known treatise of the distinguished Imaam, Al-Khateeb Al-Baghdaadee, “<i>Iqtidaa-ul-‘Ilm al-‘Amal</i>” (Knowledge Mandates Action).<br />
<br />
In this treatise, the author gathers over 200 narrations from the Prophet, his Companions and the pious predecessors on the virtue and obligation of acting upon knowledge. Thus the work serves as an inspiration and encouragement to the readers, guiding them to transfer whatever knowledge they gain of Islaam into good deeds and righteous actions. You will find this book filled with beautiful admonitions and golden words of advice from our righteous predecessors, inciting us to acquire knowledge and to then put it into practice by way of acts of worship.<br />
<br />
In addition to this, the great scholar of Hadeeth of recent times, Imaam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee, has reviewed the treatise and verified the narrations contained within it, distinguishing the authentic from the weak. So this treatise is of great benefit and deserving of being read and studied by every Muslim, whether in gatherings or individually.<br />

About the Author:<br />
Imaam Al-Albaanee was one if not the greatest scholars at the head of this century. Although he passed away in 1419, he left behind him a legacy of Islamic awareness and a mountain of knowledge in the form of books, lectures, verifications and scholarly research.

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This book is a compilation of two treatises from Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, both on the subject of Fasting and Ramadaan. The first book, though small in size, contains numerous beneficial points. It is divided up into eight sections, which were designed to serve as lessons on distinct topics commonly talked about during the month of Ramadaan.<br />
<br />
The second book is a collection of questions and answers on fasting, which were recorded, transcribed and later published in Arabic with the approval of Imaam Ibn ‘Uthaimeen. It is helpful as well since it covers and provides answers to many everyday situations that one encounters while fasting.<br />
<br />
Both of these treatises can be found on the author’s website www.binothaimeen.org, along with many more of his valuable works. Additionally, the Arabic text for all Qur’aanic ayaat and Prophetic ahaadeeth have been included. Both treatises also contain referencing and verifications for the proofs and evidences found within them, thus making this book a valuable source of reading, studying and reference.<br />
<br />
About the Author:<br />
Imaam Ibn ‘Uthaimeen was one of the great scholars of this century. He was born in ‘Unayzah, Saudi Arabia in 1347H and passed away in 1421H after spending a lifetime filled with knowledge, good deeds, and calling to the correct way. He has authored numerous books, particularly on the subjects of Creed and Islamic Jurisprudence, fields in which he excelled at. We hope that this book can provide a glimpse into the magnificent extent of his knowledge and wisdom.Thuriayaahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762286406339043764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745333235372311148.post-28019185389159892832009-11-09T16:21:00.003-08:002009-11-09T16:21:51.952-08:00Raising Children in Light of the Qur'aan and Sunnah<span class="news"></span><br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
Before you is a translation of the book: “<i>Talkhees Ahkaam-ul-Udhiyah wadh-Dhakaat</i>” <b>[The Rules of Sacrificial Offerings and Slaughtering – Abridged]</b> which is a condensed version of a larger book written by Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen [D. 1421H].<br />
<br />
In his introduction, he states: “I had previously written a rather lengthy book on the rules of sacrificial offerings and slaughtering, which was published in 93 pages and contained discussions on some issues of difference. However, foreseeing that the book might be too long for the average reader, I felt that I should abridge that book and leave out unnecessary discussions while adding to it what needed to be added.”<br />
<br />
The author has divided his discussion into ten solid and informative chapters in which he covers the various rules and regulations of sacrificial offerings and slaughtering. So this treatise serves as a valuable guide for those intending to perform the sacrifice on the day of ‘Eid. It is hoped that it will serve as a source of benefit and guidance to English-speaking Muslims throughout the world.<br />
<br />
The book consists of the following chapters:<br />
<br />
Chapter One: The Definition and Ruling of a Sacrificial Offering<br />
<br />
Chapter Two: The Conditions of a Sacrificial Offering<br />
<br />
Chapter Three: The Preferable and Detestable Types of Sacrificial Offerings<br />
<br />
Chapter Four: Who does the Sacrificial Offering Cover?<br />
<br />
Chapter Five: Designating a Sacrificial Offering and Its Regulations<br />
<br />
Chapter Six: What should be Eaten and Distributed from the Sacrificial Offering?<br />
<br />
Chapter Seven: Things a Person who Intends to Sacrifice should Avoid<br />
<br />
Chapter Eight: The Conditions of Slaughtering<br />
<br />
Chapter Nine: The Etiquettes of Slaughtering<br />
<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
In this brief treatise, the author sets out to clarify Islam’s true position towards Jesus, which is the middle course between two extremes. At one extreme there are those who believe that Jesus is God, the Son of God or part of a divine trinity while on the other extreme there are others who slander him and deny his message.<br />
<br />
The correct belief regarding Jesus as confirmed in the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad’s teachings is that he was no more than a prophet and messenger of God sent with the same message as all the prophets before him such as Moses, Abraham and Noah. That message was to worship God alone and avoid false deities. This is the one true unwavering message of the Creator to His creation throughout the course of time, and it is the same message that Jesus brought to his people and which Muhammad brought to his people after him.<br />
<br />
We hope that this short treatise will serve as an invitation to Christians to reflect on the beauty and simplicity of Islam, which has taken a moderate stance towards Jesus, assigning him a lofty role as one of the foremost messengers of God.<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This is the third book in the <b>“Classical Knowledge Series”</b> which is a collection of works written by the scholars of the past on the virtues, etiquettes and aspects of knowledge. This particular book written by the great scholar, Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab, is one of the well known works authored on the subject.<br />
<br />
In spite of its small size, the treatise brings to light many amazing and intricate points of benefit with regard to knowledge and discerning between which of its types are beneficial and non-beneficial. Indeed, the Prophet praised some forms of knowledge while condemning others. And at times he would ask Allaah to grant him beneficial knowledge while at other times he would seek refuge in Him from non-beneficial knowledge.<br />
<br />
It is for this reason that the author took on the task of clarifying the various types, characteristics, signs and consequences of both beneficial knowledge and non-beneficial knowledge in this short treatise, as well as affirming the superiority of the knowledge of the predecessors (Salaf) over the knowledge of those who succeeded them (Khalaf).<br />
<br />
Altogether, this is a splendid and remarkable book – loaded with reminders and admonitions and designed to assist and guide any sincere Muslim in his quest for seeking knowledge.<br />
<br />
Three publications of the book were used for this present translation. The main publication that was relied on was the <i>Dar-ul-Imaam Ahmad</i>, Egypt 2005 Edition with verification of narrations based on the works of Imaam Muhammad Naasir-ud-Deen Al-Albaanee. It is important to note that all section headings were added by that publisher – not by the author or translator – in order to assist the reader.<br />
<br />
Verification and referencing of narrations not covered by the <i>Dar-ul-Imaam Ahmad</i> edition were taken from the <i>Dar-ul-Bashaa’ir-ul-Islaamiyyah</i> edition from the footnotes of Muhammad bin Naasir Al-‘Ajamee and noted with an [A] for [Al-‘Ajamee] at the end of the footnote to distinguish this source from the previous one.<br />
<br />
Furthermore, all biographical accounts of the Salaf (excluding the Sahaabah) found in this book were taken from the footnotes of the Dar-ul-Hadeeth, Egypt 1989 edition with the notes of Muhammad ‘Abdul-Hakeem Al-Qaadee. No indications were made to distinguish his words as it is evident the biographical accounts are his notes.<br />
<br />
Therefore, this work is a combination of the above sources and employs footnotes from all three of these works so as to make this English publication as beneficial and resourceful as possible.<br />
<br />
Finally, the last part of the book contains another treatise from Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab called <i>Dhamm Qaswat-il-Qalb</i> or <b>“A Condemnation of the Hardening of the Heart.”</b> This small treatise was added as a supplement since the author touches upon this subject in the last part of his treatise <i>Fadlu ‘Ilm-is-Salaf ‘alaa ‘Ilm-il-Khalaf</i> (<b>The Superiority of the Knowledge of the Predecessors over the Knowledge of the Successors</b>).<br />
<br />
The source used for the translation of this short treatise was the one found in the <i>Maktabah Awlaad-ush-Shaikh Lit-Turaath</i> edition which is a compilation of several of Imaam Ibn Rajab’s treatises in two volumes with notes and verifications by Naasir An-Najjaar. It is a complete translation of the treatise with the exception of some poetic lines written by the author.<br />
<br />
We hope that this publication serves as a benefit for the Muslims and an encouragement and inspiration for them to seek knowledge and abide by its proper etiquettes.<br />

Al-Haafidh Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbalee was one of the great scholars of the 8th century. He is well known today for the legacy of monumental works that he left behind him such as his explanation of Saheeh Al-Bukhaaree, his explanation of An-Nawawee’s Forty Hadeeth and scores of other treatises, including this one which reveals his pure Creed, upright methodology and sound knowledge.Thuriayaahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13762286406339043764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3745333235372311148.post-44453254739857639902009-11-09T16:17:00.001-08:002009-11-09T16:17:14.097-08:00Advice to the Muslim Woman<div class="article"><b class="headline">Advice to the Muslim Woman</b><br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
This book is a complete translation of a transcribed lecture from Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan entitled:<b>“<i>Naseehah Lil-Mar’at-il-Muslimah</i>”</b> (Advice to the Muslim Woman). The source used for this translation was the book Muhaadaraat fil-‘Aqeedah wad-Da’wah, a large compilation of over 25 transcribed lectures from Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan on issues of Creed and Methodology (vol. 3, pg. 281-299, Markaz Fajr, 2003 Edition)<br />
<br />
In this particular lecture, Shaikh Saalih Al-Fawzaan covers many important topics related to women, such as veiling, being in privacy with male-strangers, traveling without a mahram and other things that are critical for a Muslim woman to understand and implement.<br />
<br />
This treatise will be included as the fourth essay in the forthcoming second publication of the veiling book published by Al-Ibaanah Book Publishing, which will be entitled “Four Essays on the Obligation of Veiling” by the Will of Allaah. May Allaah facilitate its publication.<br />
<br />
<b>Excerpts from the Book:</b><br />
"Both a man and a woman must cover their private parts with ample coverings, since this preserves morals. As for shamelessness and nudity, these are things that lead to the corruption of morality, the loss of honor, and the spreading of lewdness. But when the private parts are concealed with the covering that Allaah has instructed the men and women to abide by, this protects the private parts from fornication and homosexuality and it protects the private parts from the unlawful things that Allaah has prohibited."<br />
<br />
"Allaah ordered that the women be asked from behind a Hijaab. What is meant by the word Hijaab is: Anything that covers a woman whether a garment, a wall, a door or any other object that can be used to screen a woman from a man when he is talking to her or asking her about something or handing her something. All of these should be done from behind a Hijaab, i.e. from behind a screen or covering. So he should not make any contact with her while she is unscreened or lacking covering and exposed. Rather, she must be behind a screen that covers her, regardless if it is her garment, her door, a wall or so on. This is since this is <b>'purer for your hearts and their hearts'</b> from temptation. If women screen themselves by way of a Hijaab and the gaze of men does not fall upon them, the hearts of both the men and women will be saved from temptation and enticement. This is clearly visible in the Muslim societies that strictly adhere to the Hijaab."<br />
<br />
"As for what we hear about today from some ignoramuses that a husband’s brother, paternal uncle or other male relative can greet his wife, shake her hand, be alone with her and enter into her presence – this is baseless. It is not permissible for a non-mahram to enter into the presence of a woman (without Hijaab), nor to shake her hand, nor to be alone in privacy with her unless there is someone else in the house through which the privacy will be removed. But as for him entering into a house that has no one in it but her, and he is not one of her mahaarim, then this is the forbidden type of privacy and it is dangerous."<br />
<br />
If a woman has a need to speak to a man that is not one of her mahaarim, she may speak to him, but with a casual tone that has no softness or gentleness in it and not in a joking or laughing manner. Rather, her speech must be ordinary and in accordance with what necessity dictates – i.e. a question and an answer – as per the need only. She must not speak in a tone that appears friendly, laughing or teasing, or in a mellow or beautified voice, thus stirring the desires of the one who has a disease in his heart. This is based on Allaah’s saying: <b>'But rather speak in an honorable manner.'</b> [Surah Al-Ahzaab: 32]"<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
<br />
This is a translation of a short essay <b>“Makaanatu ‘Eesaa fil-Islaam”</b> (The Status of Jesus in Islaam) written by Dr. Rabee’ bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee, a Muslim religious scholar from Saudi Arabia. The source used for this translation was the on-line version of the book, which can be found on www.rabee.net.<br />
<br />
Since the book, for the most part, is geared towards non-Muslim readers, particularly Christians, names of prophets and other righteous believers of the past are presented here in their standard English version, even though, they are pronounced differently in Arabic by Muslims. This was done to make it easier for the non-Muslim audience, who are not accustomed to the Arabic versions of these names, to read the treatise.<br />
<br />
Also, in many instances, the word “Allaah” was translated as God, in order to assist non-Muslim readers understand the subject at hand more clearly. However, the proper name of God, Allaah, was left as is in other parts where deemed appropriate.<br />
<br />
It is hoped that this treatise may serve as a means to invite and call the Christian community to develop an understanding of how Jesus is viewed in the eyes of the Muslims and what we believe concerning him, as revealed to us by Allaah in the Qur’aan and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad.<br />
<br />
<b>Quotes from the Book:</b><br />
<br />
“The story of Mary begins with this great connection of mentioning those whom God chose over mankind, which included the family of ‘Imraan, who were the parents of Mary. This is done in order to make it clear that Mary came from a righteous and noble family, and that she was part of the offspring of chosen prophets, and that her mother was a pious woman. An example of her piety and righteousness was that she vowed to offer what was in her womb to the services of God. She was hoping that it would be a boy, but instead she gave birth to a girl. So she returned this matter back to God, seeking His pardon and asking Him to protect her daughter and her offspring from the outcast Devil. So her Lord answered her supplication and warmly accepted Mary, causing her to be raised in a good manner and placing a righteous and merciful prophet, Zachariah, in charge of caring for her. This shows that the mother of Jesus had a tremendous upbringing.”<br />
<br />
“God is not in need of begetting a son. Attributing a child to Him is from the greatest forms of disbelief and misguidance, since it constitutes the highest level of insult and deficiency being ascribed to His Honor, Greatness and Lordship. This is since everything apart from God (the Creator) can only be one of His creations, and all of His creations submit themselves to His Honor and Grandness and are mandated to worship Him, whereas God is divine and free of begetting a child. This is why Allaah says to those who ascribe a child to Him, and His speech is the truth: <b>‘You have indeed brought forth something very terrible (i.e. an evil statement) – due to which the heavens are ready to tear apart, the earth split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. It is that they ascribe a child to the Most Merciful (i.e. God). However, it is not befitting for the (Majesty of the) Most Merciful that he should beget a child. There is none in the heavens and the earth except that he comes unto the Most Merciful as a servant. Verily, He knows each one of them, and has counted them a full counting. And each one of them will come to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone (and without any helpers).’</b>”<br />
<br />
“<b>6.</b> In Chapter 21 of the Gospel of Matthew, verse 46, it states: <b>‘But when they tried to arrest him, they feared the multitudes, since they held him to be a prophet.’</b>There is proof in this verse that the masses of people who believed in God and in Jesus were monotheists with pure and sincere faith, and that they believed that Jesus was a messenger and a prophet. This proves that their prophet, Jesus, had taught them this and cultivated them to believe in that. So they did not used to believe that he was God or the son of God, since he would not teach the people these things.”<br />
<br />
“Has not the time come for the Christians, after hearing all of this, to hasten and rush to Islaam, especially the intellectual, educated and free thinking ones amongst them? We call them again to stand up before God in pairs and individually, then to reflect on this tremendous matter – of which there is no matter greater than it – with firm determination and impartiality and earnestly seeking to attain the truth and the reality, for it is indeed a crucial matter, which can either lead one to Paradise, the size of which spans the heavens and the earth, or to the Hellfire, whose fuel will be men and stones and which is prepared for those who disbelieve to reside therein forever. This is a matter that all of the messengers agreed on and which is contained in their revealed books, including Jesus, the servant and messenger of God. At this point, it is appropriate for us to honestly tell you: <b>‘O People of the Scripture! Come to a word that is just between us and you – that we worship none but God alone and that we associate no partners with Him, and that none of us shall take others as lords besides God.’ Then if they turn away, say: ‘Bear witness that we are Muslims.’</b>”<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
Before you is a complete translation of the treatise <b><i>“Al-Mabaadee al-Mufeedah fit-Tawheedi wal-Fiqhi wal-‘Aqeedah”</i></b><i></i> [Basic Principles on the Subjects of Tawheed, Fiqh and ‘Aqeedah] written by Shaikh Yahyaa bin ‘Alee Al-Hajooree, one of the major students of the late Shaikh Muqbil bin Haadee Al-Waadi’ee and his successor in teaching at the institute in Damaaj, Yemen.<br />
<br />
This treatise was chosen since it presents basic Islamic principles on fundamental beliefs and practices of the Muslims in an easy-to-follow format. The book is set up in point-by-point and question and answer format, thus making it a very useful and beneficial introductory tool.<br />
<br />
In his introduction, the author states that he wrote these points for teaching his children and also as a guide for teaching other young Muslims. It s with this same intention, that this treatise was selected in that it is hoped that this effort can (1) help beginning Muslims to understand the basic concepts of the Islamic Faith; (2) assist Muslim parents in teaching their children the fundamentals of the Religion; and (3) serve as a reference source for Muslims with advanced understanding in gathering evidences and principles.<br />
<br />
May Allaah accept this humble effort and enable the above objectives to be fulfilled.<br />
<br />
<b>Excerpts from the Book: </b><br />
“This ayah and hadeeth and those similar to them serve as a foundation in instructing the children, with profound words, on the subjects of the Oneness of Allaah and teaching about worshipping Him, guarding His boundaries, relying upon Him, and that He is always observing us, as well as the belief in Divine Decree (Qadar) – the good of it and the bad of it. This is the correct religious way of cultivation through which it is hoped that the one who abides by it will become one of the best of Allaah’s righteous servants. All of this has led me to write these brief and simple words for my young children – may Allaah rectify them and bring about rectification through them – on the basic fundamentals of Tawheed, ‘Aqeedah and Fiqh along with their supporting evidences from the Qur’aan and the Sunnah. I hope that Allaah will benefit them as well as all of the Muslim children through this book, and with Allaah lies the success.”<br />
<br />
“If someone asks you: ‘Who was the first and last messenger sent by Allaah?’ Say: The first messenger was Nooh and the last of them was the best amongst the prophets – our prophet Muhammad. The appearance of Prophet Muhammad was the first of the minor signs of the coming of the Last Hour. We are obligated to believe in all of the prophets. The proof for this is the hadeeth of Abu Hurairah in which he reported that the Prophet said about the gathering of people on the Day of Judgement: <b>’They will come to Nooh and say: ‘O Nooh! You are the first of the messengers sent to the people of earth, and Allaah called you ‘a grateful servant.’’</b> [Agreed Upon]”<br />
<br />
“If someone asks you: ‘What is the reality of elections?’ Say: It is from the democratic systems that seek to wipe away Allaah’s true Laws. It is also an imitation of the disbelievers, and it is not permissible to imitate them. There are many dangers that can be found in elections and not one single benefit or advantage for the Muslims. From the most significant of its dangers is that it makes an equal balance between the truth and falsehood as well as the truthful one and the false one, all in accordance to what the majority holds. It also neglects loyalty and disloyalty (for the sake of Allaah). It also tears apart the unity of the Muslims and instead places enmity, hatred, partisanship and fanaticism between them, not to mention fraud, deception, trickery, dishonesty, wastage of time and wealth, the elimination of women’s chastity, and an unstable trust in the Islamic sciences and its people.”<br />
<br />
'Prayer must be conducted with ease and relaxation. The proof for this is the hadeeth of Abu Hurairah in which the Prophet said to the man who prayed badly: <b>’When you get up to pray, say Allaahu Akbar, then recite what is easy for you from the Qur’aan. Then bow until you are at rest while bowing. Then rise (from bowing) while you are firm in your standing. Then prostrate until you feel at ease in your prostration. Then do this in all of your prayers.’</b>[Agreed Upon]”<br />

<b>About the Book:</b><br />
Before you is a complete translation of the great classical treatise “<i>Thalaathat-ul-Usool</i>” [<b>The Three Fundamental Principles</b>] of Imaam Muhammad bin ‘Abdil-Wahhaab. The source used for this translation was a booklet with the title “The Creed of the Saved Sect” printed by Maktab-ul-Islamee in 1993 [5th Edition] with checking by Zuhair Shawaish. This book is not to be confused with “al-Usool-uth-Thalaatha” which is another work written by Imaam Ibn ‘Abdul-Wahhaab.<br />
<br />
This treatise needs no introduction, as it is one of the Islamic works that is most studied and taught throughout the world. In fact, many of the scholars recommend the students of knowledge to begin their path of learning by studying and mastering this booklet. The reason for this is because it was written by the author in a simple manner and comprising of the basic fundamentals of this Religion in brief. The material contained in the treatise was designed to be easily memorized and understood.<br />
<br />
It is our intent, by producing this treatise, to provide the English audience with the source of this tremendous work so that they may study it in gatherings and use it as a reference. There are several explanations available for “The Three Fundamental Principles” that were written in recent times, such as that of Imaam Muhammad bin Saalih Al-‘Uthaimeen, Shaikh Zayd Al-Madkhalee and Shaikh Saalih Aali Shaikh.<br />
<br />
<b>Quotes from the Book:</b><br />
“Know, may Allaah have mercy on you, that we are obligated to learn four matters: <b>First:</b>Knowledge, which means: awareness of Allaah, awareness of His Prophet, and awareness of the Religion of Islaam, based on evidences. <b>Second:</b> Acting on this. <b>Third:</b> Calling to it. <b>Fourth:</b>Patience with the harm that befalls due to it. The proof for this is Allaah’s saying: <b>‘In the Name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. By the time! Verily mankind is at loss – except for those who believe and perform righteous deeds, and advise one another towards the truth and advise one another towards patience.’</b> [Surah Al-‘Asr] Ash-Shaafi’ee, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: ‘Had Allaah not sent down a proof to His creation other than this surah (chapter), it would have been sufficient for them.’”<br />
<br />
“Know, may Allaah grant you the ability to obey Him, that Al-Haneefiyyah, the Religion of Ibraaheem, is that you worship Allaah alone, making the religion sincerely (i.e. solely) for Him. This is what Allaah ordered all of mankind to do, and this is the purpose for which He created them, as Allaah says: <b>‘And I did not create the Jinn and mankind except to worship Me.’</b> [Surah Adh-Dhaariyaat: 56] The meaning of <b>‘to worship Me’</b> is “to single Me out (in worship).” The greatest thing that Allaah commanded is Tawheed, which means: Singling Allaah out in worship. And the greatest thing that Allaah warned against is Shirk, which is: Supplicating to others along with Him.”<br />
<br />
“Knowledge of your Prophet, Muhammad: He is Muhammad, the son of ‘Abdullaah, the son of ‘Abdul-Mutallib bin Haashim. Haashim was from the (the tribe of) Quraysh and Quraysh was from the Arabs. And the Arabs are from the offspring of (Prophet) Isma’eel, son of (Prophet) Ibraaheem. May Allaah send the best of His peace and blessings on him and on our Prophet (Muhammad). He lived for sixty-three years, forty of which was prior to his prophethood and twenty-three of which he spent as a prophet, messenger. He became a prophet due to (Allaah’s saying): <b>‘Read’</b> [Surah ‘Alaq: 1] and a messenger due to: <b>‘O you wrapped in garments.’</b> [Surah Al-Muddathir: 1] His homeland was Makkah, and he (later) migrated to Madeenah. Allaah sent him to warn against Shirk (polytheism) and to call to Tawheed (pure monotheism). The proof for this is Allaah’s saying: <b>‘O you wrapped in garments. Rise and warn! And magnify your Lord (Allaah). And purify your garments. And abandon ar-rujz (idols). And do not give away something in order to have more. And be patient for the sake of your Lord.’</b> [Surah Al-Muddathir: 1-7]”<br />
