Ramaḍān Reminders 1447H: nightly reminders after Tarāwīḥ, taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Ramaḍān is an opportunity to stop, reflect and bring ourselves to account

• ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb: "Bring yourselves to account before you are brought to account"

• Don't be the one whose zeal fades after the first days; make the most of every day and night

• None of us knows if this will be our last Ramaḍān: "And worship your Lord until the certainty comes to you"

• Guidance to Islām and the Sunnah is from Allāh's favour; gratitude is shown by using His favours in obedience

• How will this Ramaḍān be better than the last?

The Precise Verdicts on Deviant Methodologies: questions and answers on the Salafī methodology and the deviant groups, by Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥyā an-Najmī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Question: the claim that warning against the ḥizbī groups splits the ranks

• Loving and hating for the sake of Allāh is part of the completion of tawḥīd

• The steps of the Shayṭān, and being busied with a lesser good

• Busying oneself with the authentic narrations leaves no need for the weak ones

• al-Awzāʿī: whoever hides his innovation from us, his companionship is not hidden from us

• Question: groups who arrange voluntary fasts together so that others feel compelled to join

• Making binding what Allāh did not make binding is among the most severe of these blameworthy matters

• The legislated rulings come from Allāh; ḥadīth qudsī and ḥadīth nabawī

• Gathering the youth with activities and group trips, rather than upon the truth

• Question: the analogy that life is a long journey, so the group needs an amīr; why the analogy fails

• Questions and answers: when a person counts as a traveller

ʿUmdatul Aḥkām by al-Ḥāfiẓ ʿAbd al-Ghanī al-Maqdisī (raḥimahullāh): the Book of Purification, with explanations taken from various scholars, taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Continuing the chapter of ghusl

• Ḥadīth of Umm Salamah: Umm Sulaym asks whether a woman must make ghusl after a wet dream

• "Allāh is not shy of the truth": shyness (ḥayāʾ) in the creation, and as an attribute of Allāh

• Ghusl is obligatory when the discharge is seen, not merely because of the dream

• Ḥadīth of ʿĀʾishah: washing and scraping the traces of janābah from the Prophet's ﷺ garment

• The strongest opinion that maniy is pure, and the virtue of ʿĀʾishah in serving the Prophet ﷺ

• The second part of the answer: anāshīd, and the poetry that was recited in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ

• Imām Aḥmad on chanting said to soften the heart: "It is bidʿah"; the goal does not justify the means

• Waraʿ and zuhd: leaving the doubtful, and leaving what does not benefit in the Hereafter

• Question: the correct path for one who wishes to seek knowledge

• Seek knowledge with its people, the scholars, as the Companions and the Salaf travelled for it

• Humility in the student; begin daʿwah with your own family

• Question: the spread of acting, plays and anāshīd among the youth and at summer camps, claimed to be a means of daʿwah

• The questions were put to the Shaykh over twenty years ago, yet the deviation has only grown more sophisticated, as with today's video culture

• Acting means taking on another's character, even that of a disbeliever or a sinner

• Islām and the Sunnah are not in need of falsehood to strengthen them; lying "for" the Prophet ﷺ is still lying

• Questions and answers: social media and YouTube are not the basis of seeking knowledge; image-making and video

• The groups that branched off from the Ikhwān: the Quṭbiyyūn, who defend Sayyid Quṭb in truth and falsehood

• "Shaykh Rabīʿ is not infallible": a true statement used to reject detailed criticism

• Jamāʿat at-Tablīgh: Muḥammad Ilyās, Deobandī, Ashʿarī and Ṣūfī

• There is no Islām without tawḥīd, so no one is "basically Muslim" without it

• Falsehood dressed up as moderation, and the deception it carries

• The closing lesson of the series

• The groups: the Ikhwān al-Muslimīn, the followers of Ḥasan al-Bannā

• Their negligence in tawḥīd al-ʿibādah; why "tawḥīd al-ḥākimiyyah" is not a further category

• Their silence over major shirk: calling upon others besides Allāh and circling the graves

• The Prophet ﷺ spent thirteen years in Makkah calling to tawḥīd, not seeking rule

• Their hatred of the Salafī call and its people

• Cooperation with the people of the Sunnah in one's land

• Second part of the question: the claim that the Committee of Senior Scholars holds the ideology of the Freemasons

• Freemasonry calls to dropping the Sharīʿah and following desires; the scholars call to tawḥīd, the call of the Prophets

• The accusation comes from the Surūrīs, the followers of Muḥammad Surūr, who declared the Saudi state disbelievers

• Those who make takfīr of the Muslim lands while living under the laws of the disbelievers

• These answers are decades old, yet the same doubts about the scholars and the rulers are repeated today

• Attacking the scholars is an indirect attack on the rulers, leaving ignorance to spread
