Building and Maintaining Brotherhood, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Ismaeel Saalik (hafidhahullāh)

• The Prophet ﷺ focused on three important matters when he migrated to Madīnah

• First, building the masjid, because the greatest relationship between a slave and his Lord is built through the daily prayers

• Second, building the ties of brotherhood between the Muhājirūn and the Anṣār, not built on lineage, tribalism or status but on Islām (al-Anfāl 8:63)

• Third, repelling harm from the believers, with a treaty with the Jews of Madīnah

• The example of ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf and Saʿd, united by the Prophet ﷺ

• Any brotherhood is based upon the Sunnah, loving each other for the sake of Allāh, calling to good and warning from evil upon the manhaj of the Salaf

The True Meaning of Jihād, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Ismaeel Saalik (hafidhahullāh)

• The meaning of Jihād in Arabic and in the sharīʿah, with Ibn Taymiyyah's definition

• Ibn al-Qayyim's four types of Jihād: against oneself, against Shayṭān, against the people of kufr and shirk, and against the people of bidʿah and sins

• The greatest is Jihād an-Nafs: learning the religion, implementing it, calling to it and being patient upon it; the Prophet ﷺ carried it out in Makkah

• Shaykh Zayd: Jihād of textual evidences takes precedence over Jihād with weapons

• The Prophet ﷺ sent Muʿādh to Yemen to teach Tawḥīd first, not to fight with the sword

• The approach of the people of knowledge to each type of person: people of kufr and shirk, hypocrites, people of innovation, and people of major sins

• Allāh forgives major and minor sins for the one who repents sincerely (an-Nisāʾ 4:31, al-Furqān 25:70)
