The Danger Of Personal Drug Abuse, Addiction, And The Break Down Of Society ISBN: 9781639012824 Author: Shaykh Muḥammad Saʿīd Raslān Binding: Paperback Pages: 87 Size:8.3 X 5.8 X 0.28 inch Publication Year: 2022 Language: English Publisher: Maktabatul-Irshad Publications About This Book: Allah The Lord and Master of everything that exists commanded us only to consume what is lawful and refrain from open and secret unlawful acts. In addition, our noble religion extended the prohibition to any means possibly leading to illegal actions. By contrast, any means leading to a good deed is lawful. Thus, the means share the same ruling of their respective outcome. Any measure causing harm to man is prohibited from empowering humans to fulfill the very purpose Allah Almighty created him for. Cultivation of this earth is meaningfully established by actualizing Allah Almighty's monotheism and devoting our acts of worship to Him solely; this is the only way to cultivate this earth since the guidance of this message of Islam is the source for all manifestations of good in this life. Wherever this guidance is located, an abundance of good, bliss, and success becomes prevalent. On the other hand, darkness and oppression are the natural outcomes wherever the guidance of this message is absent. "The Qur'an, Sunnah, and the consensus of this 'Ummah forbid intoxicants."

Welcoming The Month Of Ramaḍan, The Virtues Of Fasting, & Tafsir Of The Verses On Fasting By Shaykh Aḥmad Bin Yaḥya An-Najmi ISBN: 9781640075870 From the book: Fasting linguistically means to refrain from doing something. Based upon this, the Angel Jibril (peace be upon him) said to Maryam-it is said it is from the speech of ʿĪsā, "And if you see any human being, say: 'Verily! I have vowed a fast unto the Most Beneficent (Allāh), so I shall not speak to any human being this day." [Sūrah Maryman 19:26] The meaning of the statement, 'fast' refers to refrain from talking. Hence, fasting linguistically means to refrain from doing something. Its Islāmic definition is to refrain from food, drink, and sexual desires from the time of the second Fajr (i.e., true Fajr) until the setting of the Sun. At the beginning of Islām, the person was allowed to break his fast. To eat, drink, and have relations with his spouse as long as he doesn't fall asleep. However, if he were to fall asleep then it is impermissible for him to eat, drink, and have relations with his spouse. This happened for some time to the Muslims. One man, in particular, Abū Salamah. This person would exhaust himself in the fields, and when he returned from working at dinner time, his wife found him asleep. She said to him, "you have failed! And you are not allowed to eat and drink" So he continued to fast until the next day. He worked the next day until he fainted around Dhuhr time.

Ways of staying firm upon the Religion By Shaykh 'Abdur-Razzāq Ibn 'Abdul-Muhsin al-'Abbād al-Badr ISBN: 9781944245191 Noble gathering, the talk in this gathering of ours is about "Ways and reasons to stay firm upon the religion." It is no doubt that studying the likes of this subject is very important. The Muslim is in dire need of studying the likes of this every now and then. This is because the ways and the reasons that take a person to the right and the left, hinder him from good, and turn him away from guidance are of many different types. The calamities that deter (a person) from guidance come from different ways. Therefore, the servant (of Allāh) - and this is the situation- is to give tremendous careful diligence to the ways of staying firm upon the truth and guidance. Especially since the heart of the son of Adam is afflicted with affairs, which are from doubts or desires, thus turning him away and deviating him from the straight path of Allāh (The Exalted & Blessed).

However, Allāh (The Exalted) preserved this ʾUmmah and the fundamental principles of the religion.

The value of time in the Muslim's life By Shaykh Abdur Razzaaq bin Abdul Muhsin Al-Badr ISBN: 9781943277285 A small excerpt from the book: Allah the Almighty subjected to you day and night and subjected to you all times. He created you when you were not worth mentioning, and He created you at theses times and gave you a particular period because earlier people and nations before us took their share of days and nights. He subjected day and night to them, one of them spent this time worshipping Allah and obeying his orders till his time passed and died, while the others spent their days and nights in performing evil deeds against Allah the Almighty when he comes to his Lord with his days and nights' deeds. Allah the Almighty confers upon his worshippers that he subjected days and nights to them, subjected to you days and nights in life that is your fate in this life and will come to an end. "For every matter there is a Decree of Allah." [Soorah ar-Ra'd 13:38] If the man's life ended, his days and nights would finish. And if his life ended, as I said, with a day does not outstrip the night. And his life ended with a night does not exceed the day. This is a great blessing subjected by Allah the Almighty; day, night, the forenoon, Al-Fajr, Al-Asr; these are blessings given by Allah the Almighty. And He created you among these blessings and ordered you to use it in coming closer to Allah the Almighty, So, Allah concluded this verse with saying: "Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who understand." Whoever use his mind and exploit his thinking and reflect on day and night, sun and moon and the sequence of these times, he will be given a concrete example and a moral lesson, and he will be warned of continuing in mistakes "Verily, in that are indeed signs." Allah the Almighty said: "Verily in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding. Those who remember Allah (always and in prayers) standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides, and think deeply about the creation of the heavens and the earth, (saying): Our Lord! You have not created (all) this without purpose, glory to You! (Exalted are You, above all, that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire﴿." [Soorah Ali Imran 3:190-191]

The Statement of At-Tawhid: La ILaha Illa-Allah (Its Virtues, Significance, Conditions, & Nullifiers) By Shaykh ʿAbdur-Razzāq Ibn ʿAbdul-Muhsin al- ʿAbbād al-Badr ISBN: 9781943844708 The most virtuous of words - the word of Tawhīd- Lā Ilaha Illā-Allāh- will not be accepted by mere utterance on the tongue. Rather, an implementation of its fundamental principles is necessary. For example, disproving polytheism and affirming the oneness of Allāh with a firm belief and adherence to all that it entails. This is the only way can anyone be considered a Muslim or be in the fold of the people of Tawhīd (Lā Ilaha Illā-Allāh). This great word signifies the falsehood of any deity besides Allāh. To affirm any deity other than Allāh is the most atrocious aggression and most evil deviation.

The Sinners' Condition In The Stage Of Reckoning By Shaykh Abdullah bin Uthmaan Adh-Dhaarami ISBN: 9781943280650 O believers, on the stage of the reckoning, there shall be sights that people cannot fathom and terrors that will cause the hearts to become dislodged from the chests. However we are in a state of heedlessness, O brothers. Tell me if you were to see a man from amongst the people whose stomach has been enlarged and it has within it illness from the diseases that are present within the Dunyaa, then how would this sight be? So what do you think regarding the one whose stomach is filled with fire burning the insides and scorching his intestines and the flame cannot be extinguished nor can its heat be cooled for a period of 50,000 years? He is not able to free himself from it nor rest from it for even one second. He will remain, for 50,000 years, in this state while screaming, crying, falling out, seeking deliverance and seeking refuge. However he will not find anyone who can have mercy upon him or anyone who will deliver him. These are those who eat the wealth of the orphan oppressively. None has the right to be worshiped except Allah! How great is our heedlessness from that which awaits us?! Indeed, it is sufficient as a punishment for one of us to see these people being punished. So how about if one were to be from amongst these people? However, many from amongst the people are forgetful about that day after that every individual shall be known by way of his deeds which he used to do, of good or evil. So that which was secret shall be exposed and the one who used to stand before his Lord committing major sins shall be exposed. On that day you shall see people from the amongst the Muslims-from those who you know and some of them from those who you lived amongst, and perhaps they are from your friends and relatives-you shall see them in a state other than the one upon which you know them. Their makeup has been altered, and way of their inequities will call them. These are sights that cannot be fathomed if they were to be revealed to the people. However, the people are headless regarding that day. So who is it that will protect the disobedient one from this, O Ummah of Muhammad? How severe is our heedlessness? And there in the midst of those terrors and horrifying dreadful sights amongst the ranks of the sinful Muslims you shall be surprised by a terrifying image; a group from amongst the Muslims standing forth who have been brought by the angels having along with them containers of molten lead within the hellfire. It shall be poured into their ears. Woe to them, if it had been molten lead that was heated by the fire of the Dunyaa, then it would have been a severe punishment and the one experiencing it would wish for a hastened death. How about when it is heated by the fire of hell, and the person is decreed to be punished by it for 50,000 years? The angels will make them lie down and pour this molten lead from the fire of hell into their ears. They will be crying, screaming and falling out. And they will not find anyone to have mercy upon them.

The Obligation Of Implementing The Sunnah & Deeming Whoever Rejects It Of Disbelief By Shaykh Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah ISBN: 9781642042726 From the book: Allāh (The Exalted) says in Sūrah An-Nūr, "And let those who oppose the Messenger's (Muḥammad (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace)) commandment (i.e., his Sunnah - legal ways, orders, acts of worship, statements) (among the sects) beware, let some Fitnah (disbelief, trials, afflictions, earthquakes, killing, overpowered by a tyrant) should befall them or a painful torment be inflicted on them." [Sūrah an-Nūr 24:63] and Allāh says in Sūrah Al-Hashr, "And whatsoever the Messenger (Muḥammad (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace)) gives you, take it; and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it)." [Sūrah al-Hashr 59:7] In this regard, many verses indicate the obligation of obeying the Prophet and adhering to his Sunnah. Also, previous evidence indicated the obligation of adhering to the Book of Allāh, sticking to it, and complying with his orders and abstaining from its prohibitions. These are two relevant fundamentals in which whoever denies one of them denies the other. This is considered an act of disbelief and misguidance which takes one outside the fold of Islām as agreed by all the scholars. The ahādīth of the Prophet (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) indicated the obligation of obeying the Messenger of Allāh (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace), following his Sunnah and refraining from disobeying him. All of this is relative to the people of his era as well as those to come. It is related by Al-Bukhārī and Muslim on the authority of Abū Hurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (May Allah raise his rank and grant him peace) said: "Whosoever obeys me, obeys Allāh; and he who disobeys me disobeys Allāh."

The Knowledge Seeker's Guide On The Disbelief Of The Rejecter Of Tawhid By Shaykh ul-Islam Muḥammad Abdul-Wahhab ISBN: 9781640088641 From the book: It is clear that not caring about learning religion is one of the causes of being the worst of creation. If this ignorant man asked about this, what about those who claimed that they follow the Prophets and know their message, and everything is accessible, but he does not care? And when he attends or listens, he will be as mentioned by Allāh: "Comes not to them an admonition (a chapter of the Qurʾān) from their Lord as a recent revelation but they listen to it while they play. With their hearts occupied (with evil things)." [Sūrah Al-Anbiyā' 21:2-3] Also, when the Prophet (May Allāh raise his rank and grant him peace) said: "Allāh has sent me," he replied: with what you have been sent? He said: so and so." Thus, it is clear that the essence of Allāh's Message and the Prophet's Dawah is the Oneness of Allāh (Tawhīd), no partners with Him, and destroying idols. It is clear that idols cannot be destroyed but by showing enmity against them and combating them. So, think about the essence of religion. He also understood Tawhīd and that it is a great notion. Therefore, he said: "Who has followed you in this?" he replied: "a freeman and a slave," he said: all the scholars, kings and laypeople were against his opinion, and no one followed his opinion." This indicates that the truth can be followed by the least amount of people, but falsehood may be followed by many. Fuḍayl Ibn Iyāḍ (May Allāh have mercy on him) said: "Do not be afraid of the truth for its little followers, and do not be fascinated with the falsehood for its numerous bad successors ."
