And he has decreed that you worship non but him and to be kind to your parents

June 26, 2008 maqasid Leave a comment

After polytheism, the gravest sin is disobedience to the parents. A true Muslim cannot even imagine this evil act without being disgusted. Thankfulness, gentleness and gratitude are the three basic qualities that have made man to be a good person. One who does not plant these basic attitudes within themselves can fulfill neither his duties towards Allah nor the people: Hence, the Muslims who are obedient to Almighty Allah can never be disobedient or even careless to their parents.

A Principle Concerning Unity and Splitting – the reason for this and their resultant Effects – Shaykhul Islam Imam Ibn Taymiyyah

June 23, 2008 maqasid 1 comment

Allaah said, “those who were given the Scriptures did not differ except out of mutual jealousy and hatred (bagyan) after knowledge had come to them.” Informing that their differing arose after the coming of knowledge that made clear to them as to what they should steer clear of – for indeed Allaah does not let a people become misguided after He guided them except after telling them what they should steer clear of.

The book is called ‘al-A’lam al-’Aliyyah fi Manaqib Ibn Taymiyyah,’ and this is a very, very small glimpse from it… The book has been translated and can be read HERE.

Muhaddith al ‘asr Al-Albani’s Revolutionary Approach to Hadith

June 12, 2008 maqasid 6 comments

When on the first of October 1999 Shaykh Muhammad Nasir al-Din al-Albani passed away at the age of 85, he was mourned by virtually everyone in the world of Salafi Islam. To many, he represented its third main contemporary reference, after ‘Abd al-’Aziz bin Baz (who himself had died a few months before) and Muhammad bin ‘Uthaymin (who would pass away in January 2001), both leading figures of the Saudi religious establishment. Salafi newspapers, journals, and websites celebrated this Syrian son of an Albanian clock-maker—whose family left Albania in 1923, when he was nine years old, and re-established itself in Damascus—who had become known as the muhaddith al-’asr (traditionist of the era), that is, the greatest hadith scholar of his generation.
