IBN TAYMIYYAH ON GHAZZALI – WAS IBN TAYMIYYAH AFFECTED BY IMAM AL GHAZZALI – WAS AL GHAZZALI A MUBTADIYYAH?

March 18, 2012

But what does happen is that people start to have battles amongst each other, one side using Al-Ghazzali as proof while the other uses Ibn Taymiyyah.

They lived close to each other, and though one preceeded the other Ibn Taymiyyah definetly knew of Ghazzali.

But, what did Ibn Taymiyyah actually say about AL-Ghazzali, was he relevant to Ibn Taymiyyah. … More IBN TAYMIYYAH ON GHAZZALI – WAS IBN TAYMIYYAH AFFECTED BY IMAM AL GHAZZALI – WAS AL GHAZZALI A MUBTADIYYAH?

REFUTING ULAMA AND STUDENTS OF ILM – WHAT THE MADKHALIS AND THEIR LIKES GOT WRONG – THE SCHOLARS THEY CITE SPEAK AGAINST THEM?

February 6, 2012

They apply all of the rulings from the Qur’an and Sunnah to everyone else, but they leave themselves out of them.

They have a refutation for the refuter of refutations… if you have said it they have tried to refute it. They refute so much that their refutations have become self indications, of their own madness, of their own need to be known as people of knowledge.

Almost as if to say, Allah commanded you, but not us… The ayat applies to you, but not us… And the mill keeps spinning, because the donkeys keep walking around in circles. … More REFUTING ULAMA AND STUDENTS OF ILM – WHAT THE MADKHALIS AND THEIR LIKES GOT WRONG – THE SCHOLARS THEY CITE SPEAK AGAINST THEM?

KHUTBAH – خطبة – NIYYAH AND IKHLAS – ONE GOES WITH THE OTHER?

October 28, 2011

One of the first things a sincere Muslim must do is to have the correct intention. The intention is so important that Ibn Hajar in his Fath al-Bari Sharh Sahih al-Bukhari, and Imam Al-Nawawi in his Arab’ayeen used the hadith “Actions are judged by their intentions”, as the first hadith. The first thing a student of knowledge learns, is the hadith about intentions.

“Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended. … More KHUTBAH – خطبة – NIYYAH AND IKHLAS – ONE GOES WITH THE OTHER?

WHY WE GET TESTED AND TRIALED IN THE DUNYA – AL-JAWAB AL-KAFI – IBN AL QAYYIM AL JAWZIYYA – TRANSLATED

August 7, 2011

Among the punishments for sins is that blessings will be removed and vengeance will be warranted.

4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY

May 1, 2011

The topic of blind following (Taqleed) can not be written or spoken about enough, the Muslim world is in such a state these days, that a person who follows the sunnah is considered to be an outsider, anything that does not conform to the religion of someones dead grandfather (who went to hajj) is considered an attack on Islam.

How wonderful would it be if Imam Abu Hanifa, the imam whose Madhhab the Bosnian community claims to follow, could come back so that they could view him. The way he looked, the way he spoke, I am sure that the majority of the population would proclaim him a Wahhabi. Now imagine the sahaba… Alaahul Musta’an. … More 4 IMAMS PROHIBITING BLIND FOLLOWING – ABU HANIFA, IMAM MALIK, IMAM SHAFI’E AND IMAM AHMAD SAID – DO NOT FOLLOW US BLINDLY
