• Performing Ḥajj on behalf of someone else, and the ḥadīth of Shubrumah: one must first have performed one's own Ḥajj

• An unperformed Ḥajj is to some degree like a debt that must be fulfilled

• Q&A: the rewards of ʿUmrah and Ḥajj, and the accepted Ḥajj whose only reward is Paradise

Thalāthat al-Uṣūl (The Three Fundamental Principles) by Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (raḥimahullāh), with the explanation of Shaykh Zayd ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• Recap: worship stands on two pillars, love of Allāh and humility before Him

• Iḥsān in ṣalāh: establishing it with khushūʿ, as the Prophet ﷺ said "Pray as you have seen me pray"

• Iḥsān in daʿwah is following the way of the prophets; rectification comes from calling to Allāh, and protests oppose it

• The false "freedoms" of conduct and of speech

• There is no unity with those who curse the Companions or deny Allāh's names and attributes

• Voluntary fasts, such as Mondays and Thursdays, as opportunities for good

• Questions and answers, including working in deliveries that contain alcohol

• The supplication when entering the toilet

Until You Return to Your Dīn, a lecture by Ustādh Abu Humayd Saalim Ahmad (hafidhahullāh)

• The Muslim is one who submits to the one true Lord who speaks to His creation through revelation

• The ḥadīth of ʿīnah transactions and humiliation falling upon the Ummah until it returns to its religion

• Following the nations before us and using trickery to get around what Allāh has forbidden

• The cure: returning to Tawḥīd, the pillars of īmān and the pillars of Islām

• Jihād requires a leader, as even the Children of Isrāʾīl knew after Mūsā

• Holding firm beliefs while living alongside people of other faiths without transgressing against them

ʿUmdatul Fiqh by Ibn Qudāmah al-Maqdisī (raḥimahullāh), with the explanation of Shaykh ʿAbdullāh al-Bassām and Shaykh ʿUbayd al-Jābirī (raḥimahumallāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• The categories of people who may receive zakāh

• The difference between the faqīr and the miskīn, and why the faqīr is in greater need

• The collector employed by the ruler is eligible because of his work

• Zakāh is not given to a disbeliever: it is taken from the rich of the Muslims and given to their poor

• Distributing zakāh locally or abroad, and organisations holding on to it

Thalāthat al-Uṣūl (The Three Fundamental Principles) by Shaykh al-Islām Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (raḥimahullāh), with the explanation of Shaykh Zayd ibn Hādī al-Madkhalī (raḥimahullāh), taught by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)

• The third level, Iḥsān, has one pillar: to worship Allāh as if you see Him, and though you do not see Him, He sees you

• Its meaning: what is good in the Sharīʿah and to the intellect; there is no real contradiction between sound intellect and the text

• Iḥsān of the servant with his Lord, and with his own soul by striving against it

• Its two levels: worshipping as though seeing Him, and worshipping knowing He is watching

• Love alongside Allāh is the basis of shirk (as-Saʿdī), unlike the love the Sharīʿah commands

• Affirming the names and attributes: "There is nothing like Him, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing" (ash-Shūrā 42:11)
