The Foreword

https://youtu.be/E3ya5QUEAOE?si=rDG0oW-fn5KFb_14

With the treason and betrayal of Palestine by Arab/Muslim regimes ongoing, and a possible resumption of the War on Gaza looming before or during Ramadan, a look back at Imam Al Bouti’s speech outside of the Umayyad Mosque for Gaza and Palestine during the 2008-2009 Gaza War.

A Moment of Reflection & Call to Action:

"I call upon the Muslim nation to become a reading nation. From the very first revelation we were commanded to read. Reading necessitates writing. Writing necessitates publishing. Publishing creates readers. Unfortunately, the Muslim nation is befallen with being a nation that doesn't read, 'now', that is. In the golden generations, people bought handwritten books with gold simply to be able to read a book. Now, we have printing presses that have made things easier, but we don't have a reading people. They'd much rather listen to something rather than read.

It pains me greatly that a useless book in the west will be printed in runs of half a million, and it will subsequently be distributed across the best markets within a couple of months, and people will [purchase] and read it. A tremendous book on Muslim thought will be printed in a run of 3000-5000 and will go undistributed for 5-10 years; sometimes no one will ever read it.

I ask, where is the Muslim reader? We find in western society, women read, men read, and they only occasionally turn the TV on. The Muslim nation watches TV, plays cards, plays stones, or they waste their time drinking coffee or smoking hookah. Is this a nation proactively practicing the way of life prescribed by their Lord? This is the state of affairs.

However, this state of affairs has started to change. Thus, we must remain patient and continue to call to this way, and we musn't despair."

- Shaykh Abd Al-Rahman Hassan Habannakah al-Maydani

The original Arabic audio of Shaykh Abd al Rahman Hassan Habannakah Al Maydani’s advice to the Muslim world about the importance of reading that was translated and transcribed above.

Alhamdulillah, in our Arkview Arabic tafseer class (reading صفوة التفاسير), we have covered most of سورة الفاتحة. Last week we looked at the words الحمد لله and we shall look at them again tonight, Insha'Allah, when looking at some of the بلاغة (rhetoric) of the surah.

And with Allah alone is every success!

Imam as-Sabuni praises Imam Al Bouti in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

He also praised Imam Al Bouti’s work “The Approach To Human Civilization in the Quran” which is translated into English by Sheikh Mahdi Lock (may Allah preserve him) and can be purchased at the links available here in Sheikh Mahdi’s blog.

May Allah have mercy upon them and reunite them in Jannah !

You’ve FAILED as a Parent If…

Listen as Shaykh Mahdi delivers a powerful wake-up call for parents and those aspiring to become parents

https://youtu.be/ECLLbbLaAJI?si=YVZLRKzdMh8rH6F-

The Miracle of Arabic

The Arabic language lights up the brain like no other language. What makes it so unique? While most languages rely only on the left side of the brain, Arabic activates the right side of the brain and the frontal lobe as well. This is because of Arabic’s grammar, structure, and writing style.

Learning Arabic stimulates activity in all areas of the brain. It also increases a person’s pattern recognition ability. This is because the root system makes it very efficient.
There are over 300 words for lion in Arabic. Each with specific details and descriptions of the lion.
It is a very precise language.

Ancient Indian, Chinese, and Greek scientific writings were all originally translated into Arabic.
It is a key to the knowledge of the ancients and a bridge between past and present.

This is also why the Qur’an is so eloquent, rich, and precise. Despite all the time that has passed, Arabic has preserved its roots better than any other language. There is practically no difference between the MSA/Fusha that is the standardized version today, and Classical Arabic during early Islamic and pre Islamic times.

#Mutashābihāt

The phrase ذي القربى appears connected to a word majrūr with the bāʾ in two places in the Qurān: Q 2:83 (وبالوالدين إحسانًا وذي القربى) and Q 4:36 (وبالوالدين إحسانًا وبذي القربى).

‎Both these wordings carry a similar meaning: “kindness to parents and relatives”

In the second instance, however, the letter bāʾ is repeated in the phrase, reading «وبذي القربى», unlike the first: «وذي القربى».

‎Ibn Jamāʿah رحمه الله said: the reason for this is that Q 2:83 is a recount of Allāh’s command to Banī Isrāʾīl, whereas Q 4:36 is a direct command.

Repeating the bāʾ adds emphasis, and this is more suitable for Q 4:36 telling us to obey the command of ṣilat al-arḥām, unlike Banū Isrāʾīl who were told the same but did not obey, as conveyed by the ending of Q 2:83: “...then you turned away in refusal, except a few of you.”

White Culture, Islam, and Muslims

In recent times, far too many Muslims living in the Anglosphere have been duped into blindly following liberal/Marxist narratives about race and culture. We end up falsely blaming all the evils of the world on “the White Man”, assuming all white folks are privileged or racist, culture-less, and a host of other inaccurate stereotypes. It is a sort of reverse Orientalism or “Occidentalism”. Copying what the extreme Afrocentrists do when they “blackwash” history in response to the Orientalist/Eurocentric whitewashing.

As followers of this channel will have noted, the crimes of Western colonialism, the wars in the Middle East, anti Muslim sentiment in the Anglosphere, are not the fault of the average working class white person. Indeed throughout the centuries, the average European peasant and the average American worker have all been oppressed.
Remember it is the upper echelon who is to blame for the crimes we have seen. The banksters, the old royal families, the oligarchs, the Zionist Talmudic rabbis, the Vatican, and the corporations.

Your anger should be directed at a Mr Orsini, or Mr Rothschild or Mr Rockefeller. Or at the East India Company, BlackRock, Lockheed Martin. Don’t direct your anger towards Joe Sixpack, John Doe, Jane Soccermom and Mr. Smith from Kettering. The masses of white folks across Europe and America are barely getting by, working 9-5, and they have been brainwashed by public schooling and the mainstream media. It is not their duty to know about Islam. Nor is it reasonable to expect them to know. They are focused on subsistence, just as most Muslims are.

As Muslims it is our duty to do dawah to these folks and educate them. White people have genuinely valid concerns about immigration, replacement, grooming gangs, violence, etc.
We must clean up our communities so we can be role models.
For example, even though most sex crimes in general are committed by whites, the grooming gangs that have been convicted are Pakistani and ostensibly Muslim, we cannot brush this under the carpet.

Since Hijrah is not a viable option for most Muslims in the West, it is imperative to actually understand white people instead of just dismissing them. Otherwise it will be impossible to raise future generations of Muslims here. Choose your words very wisely, as mentioned previously, blame the “elites” who deserve the blame. Don’t antagonize the common man by saying stupid slogans like “Death to Britain” or “Death to America”. You live in these countries. They are yours too.

With that being said, this is a very relevant discussion between Shaykh Mahdi Lock (a white English convert) and Shaykh Abu Ja’far Al Hanbali, from 2018. It is entitled “What Is White Culture?”

On the one hand people say things like “White people don’t have a culture!”
On the other hand when someone they know behaves a certain way, they’ll say “Stop, you’re acting like you’re white!”

So what is the deal? Who are “white” people? What is their culture and what are their contributions?

https://youtu.be/u2jDi8F9EXA

We hope this encourages more Muslims to stay away from the roadman/ghetto culture that has engulfed our communities in the West the same way the ghetto culture was foisted upon black folks in America.

Simply speaking proper English, reading Shakespeare or Dickens, and dressing well, are all considered “white” traits by ghetto folk. We have even heard madrasah going kids say that we have to speak in our own slang to avoid “sounding white”. Astaghfirullah!

Please let us avoid this pathetic racism of lower expectations that we have for ourselves. To thrive in the Anglosphere we must have ulama who speak proper English and can convey the meanings of the Qur’an and Sunnah correctly. May God protect us from the Zionist-Globohomo divide and conquer strategy. May God help us bring the light of Islam to the world. Ameen.

Two very brief articles from Sheikh Abu Jaafar Al Hanbali’s blog (may Allah preserve him and Sheikh Mahdi Lock and all of the scholars) from 2022 on the Gregorian (which he also simply calls in some of his lectures, the “kafir calendar”) New Year.

Also, an additional reminder and warning to fellow younger (25 and under, most Muslims above 25 do not do these things but if they do then this applies to them too) Muslims to not do stupid things like playing with firecrackers, every single year I always hear of someone doing something stupid with firecrackers/fireworks, getting seriously hurt and then regretting it later.

Sheikh Tawfiq Al Bouti released a video statement today confirming that he is indeed alive and well in Damascus, despite the recent lying of some very untrustworthy sources, Alhamdulilah:

https://fb.watch/wq5RlwhbzB/?

al-Imām al-Ḥaddād (d. 1132) said:

“According to us, the pillars of the religion and its principles are four: al-Bukhārī in ḥadīth, al-Baghawī in tafsīr, al-Minhāj in fiqh, and among the comprehensive works, Iḥyāʾ ʿUlūm al-Dīn.”

He adds, “These are the principles upon which are the basis. We have read many books, but have not found more comprehensive than them. Time is short, and the principles are the basis of the structure; they are the foundation. Our doctrine is not but the Book and the Sunnah.”

Israel is collapsing on its own volition. A free Palestine is never going to happen because the US rode in on its white horse to save the Palestinians, but rather because the Palestinians and the world made it happen in the face of US support for Israel.

This Saturday in Bolton Insha'Allah.


Copies of the book The Wonders of Waqf (and other titles) will be available for purchase.

Shaykh Dr. ‘Abd al-Fattāh al-Yāfi‘ī: The solution to problems and burdens:

1. Prayer: At least 2 units of Nafl (as in the Hadīth of Salāt al-Hāja)

2. Repentance: 100x, for example (in the Hadīth: He who persists on Istighfār, his burdens will be alleviated)

3. Salawāt: 100x, for example (in the Hadīth: Shall I devote to you all my supplications? He ﷺ said: Then you will be freed from your worries)

4. Qur’ān (in the Hadīth: O Allāh make the Qur’ān a remover for our burdens)

Additional point: Ibn ‘Atā’ says in his Hikam: Get to know Allāh while in good health, and He will know you when you are burdened

https://youtu.be/ni3ImKo4tKk?si=fOtKQ4_9p_anCpNX

The Prophet ﷺ once entered into his Masjid where he saw a man from the Ansār called Abu Umāmah

He ﷺ said: O Abu Umāmah, why is it you are sitting in the Masjid at this time when there is no prayer?

He said: Burdens that have affected me and debts, O Messenger of Allāh

He ﷺ said: Shall I not teach you words that if you were to say, Allāh would ease your burdens and pay your debts?

He said: Yes, O Messenger of Allāh

He ﷺ said: Say, when you wake up and go to sleep: O Allāh, I seek refuge in you from grief and from sadness, from weakness and from laziness, from miserliness and from cowardice, and from being overcome by debt and overpowered by men

Abu Umāmah said: So I did that, and Allāh eased my burdens, and paid my debts

Abu Dāwūd (1555), al-Mundhirī said: It is at least Hasan

Marriage: The Rights of the Husband and Wife

Marriage is the most sacred bond between a man and a woman; it is in every divine law that has been revealed. It has always been considered an act of worship. It has massive precedence over all other matters in this world, because it is through marriage that life on earth is perpetuated.

It is therefore vital that we understand our roles and responsibilities so that we can be truly happy and fulfilled in our marriages. Join us for this special 8-week online course and learn the qualities that are necessary in order to be happy and successful in marriage and in order to be a source of happiness for your spouse and children.

The books of noble Hadith have preserved for us much of the Prophet's ﷺ guidance and what he ﷺ said about men, women and their married life together. He has elucidated for us their rights and obligations on the basis of justice and laid out duties for each of them. All of these duties are so that the family structure can be sound, in which all the people therein feel close to one another. They love and cherish one another, they support one another and they assist one another in goodness, just like one body: if one organ or limb is in pain, the rest of the body rallies to help it.

This course will study 50 chosen prophetic hadith on marriage and the rights of the husband and wife, all of which are either Sahih or Hasan. The course aims to illuminate the path of marriage for everyone, be a means of reconciliation between people and bring benefit for the married and for those seeking to get married.

Join us for this blessed journey and bring benefit and blessings to yourself and your spouse and family.

Assalām ʿAlaykum wa Raḥmatullāhi wa Barakātuh,

Please join us for a study of the book As-Ṣarf al-ʿArabī: Aḥkāmun wa Maʿānin (‘Arabic Morphology: Rules and Meanings’) by Dr Muhammad Fāḍil as-Sāmurāʿī, the son of the world’s greatest living Arabic linguist, Dr Fāḍil as-Sāmurāʿī, may Allah preserve them both. This book goes above and beyond the rules of morphology and dives deep into the meanings, while providing an abundance of examples from the Noble Qurʾān along the way.

On the side, as part of our weekly homework and revision, we plan to read the short yet brilliant Sīrah book by Shaykh Muṣṭafā as-Sibāʿī, may Allah have mercy on him, entitled As-Sīrah an-Nabawiyyah: Durūs wa ʿIbar (The Prophetic Biography: Lessons and Precepts’). We intend to read a short section each week and add all the vowels, because an-naḥū is all about what vowels go at the ends of words while as-ṣarf is all about what vowels go everywhere else. If Allah so wills, this course will not only deepen our knowledge of morphology and syntax, but also increase us in love of Allah the Exalted and His Book and in love of His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. And with Allah alone is every success!

Time: Wednesdays, 7-9 PM EST, starting October 2, 2024 Duration: One year (35-40 weeks)

Ahmad Ibn ‘Asim al-Antākī (d. 239) said: “If you sit with the truthful ones, then sit with them in truth; for they are spies of the heart, they enter into your heart and leave without you realizing”

al-Junayd (d. 298) once was preaching, when a Christian dressed as a Muslim stood up and asked: “O Shaykh, what is the meaning of the Prophet's ﷺ words: (Beware of the believer's Firāsah, for he sees with Allāh's light)?” al-Junayd put down his head, then raised it, and told him: “Accept Islām, for your time to believe has come”. So the man accepted Islām
