Individual Lectures – Ustādh Abu Inaayah Seif ad-Deen

Upon You Is My Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Khulafāʾ, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Inaayah Seif ad-Deen (hafidhahullāh)

• Benefits from the ḥadīth of al-ʿIrbāḍ ibn Sāriyah, the farewell advice of the Messenger ﷺ, mainly from the explanation of Shaykh Rabīʿ, with points from Shaykh Aḥmad an-Najmī and Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Luḥaydān (raḥimahumallāh)

• The effect of the Prophet's admonition on the Companions, and their eagerness for his advice

• Why taqwā of Allāh is coupled with hearing and obeying the Muslim ruler

• A warning against differing: "the differing of my Ummah is a mercy" is not a ḥadīth

• Returning to the Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Khulafāʾ when differing appears, and the obstacles people put in the way

• Every statement is taken or left except that of the Messenger ﷺ; Shaykh Rabīʿ's advice to the youth: biting onto the Sunnah with the molar teeth

Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allāh will conceal his faults…, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Inaayah Seif ad-Deen (hafidhahullāh)

• Explanation of the ḥadīth: “Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allāh will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter”

• Our desperate need for Allāh's concealment in both the dunyā and the ākhirah, and the reality of the Day of Resurrection when all secrets will be exposed (86:9)

• The private questioning of the believer by Allāh and His forgiveness of concealed sins

• From the greatest means of gaining Allāh's concealment is concealing the faults of others; a severe warning against searching for and exposing people's faults

• The honour of a believer is more sacred to Allāh than the Kaʿbah; warning against slander, backbiting and accusing innocent believers, with lessons from the slander against ʿĀʾishah (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhā)

• The virtue of defending a Muslim's honour: whoever defends his brother's honour, Allāh will protect his face from the Fire

• Forgetting one's own faults while obsessing over others', and condemning exposing one's own sins publicly
