Salafi Audio UNLIMITED

We have only two options to choose from as our sources of guidance.  

Listen to what Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) says about our options—extracted from the audio titled: Salvation Lies in Clinging to the Sunnah which I hope to release soon. Then, think about where you are at!  What would be your situation if the Angel of Death came to you today?

Listen, understand, and implement that which you here.

Many groups claim that they are following the revelation sent down by Allah (subanahu wa Ta'ala) and the fact that their way is the only way to salvation.  Here the noble Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) highlights the dishonesty of some of those people who claim that they have the truth resulting in them misleading the people and not fulfilling their obligations of conveying the religion as it has been legislated.

In this lecture, the Shaykh (rahimahullah Ta'ala) mentioned what he witnesses from the fruits of the da'wah of Shaykh Jameel-ur-Rahman al-Afghanee  (rahimahullah Ta'ala), the leader of the Muhajideen during the Afghanistan/Russia war in Kunar, Afghanistan.

Listen to this very insightful lecture that brings us back to the basics of how this region is to be understood and implemented in his unique style. 

Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) delivered a lecture at the conference and it came to his attention that audio lectures were being distributed and sold in cassette form with the photographs of those people who had delivered the lecture. 

Whilst harshly reprimanding this practice he directly addressed those involved with the following words:

Note: The complete lecture is titled: The Islamic Ruling on Photography

Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

A man asked the Imām of Dār al-Hijrah (i.e. Madinah) Mālik Ibn Anas (رحمه الله): “From where should I take the Ihrām for pilgrimage?” Imām Mālik responded: “From wherever the Prophet (‎ﷺ‎‬) took the Ihrām.” The man repeated himself a few times until he said: “So what if I add to that [place of Ihrām an extra distance]?” Mālik said: “Don’t do that, for I fear for you fitnah.” The man said: “What is there in this of fitnah? It is only a matter of miles I am adding to the place of Ihrām?!” Mālik said: “Indeed Allāh, the Most-High, said: ‎’Let those beware, who oppose the command of the Messenger lest some fitnah befalls them or a painful punishment is inflicted upon them.’* [An-Noor: 63]“

*(( فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَن تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ ))

What I have done is slow the speed of this lecture down by 10%, this should make it considerably easier for the listeners to understand, in shaa Allah.

We will suffice with the fact, that a reminder truly benefits the believers.

When we hear about someone doing a "European Tour" we instantly associate this with musicians and pop stars.  When the people of Ahlus-Sunnah talk about a European Tour they refer to a person of Sunnah going out in the path of Allah (upon knowledge) to spread the deen of al-Islam.

Listen to the great Muhaddith of Pakistan, Abu Muhammad Badee Uddin Shah as-Sindi ar-Rashidee (rahimahullaah Ta'ala) talk about a European journey of discovery.

Know that Allah has commanded all of His servants with istiqamah and He commanded the Messenger (ﷺ) specifically. Allah, the Most-High, said:  

“Say (O Muhammad): “I am only a human being like you. It is inspired in me that your God is only one God, therefore be steadfast upon the Straight Path to Him, and seek forgiveness of Him. And woe to the idol-worshippers.” [Fussilat: 6]

He said to His Prophet (ﷺ): 

فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ وَمَن تَابَ مَعَكَ

“So stand (O Muhammad) firm and straight  as you are commanded – and those with you who turn in repentance unto Allah…” [Hūd: 112]

And He, the Most-High, promised the steadfast believers a great reward:

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ

“Verily, those who say: “Our Lord is only Allah,” and thereafter they stood firm and straight, on them shall be no fear [when their soul is being removed at the point of death], nor shall they grieve [for the loved ones they have left behind].”

أُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ الْجَنَّةِ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

“Those are the companions of Paradise, abiding eternally therein as reward for what they used to do.” [Al-Ahqāf: 13-14]

Allāh, the Most-High, also stated regarding the steadfast believers (al-mustaqeemeen):

“We have been your friends in the life of this world and are so in the Hereafter. Therein you shall have all that your inner-selves desire, and therein you shall have all that which you ask for.” [Fussilat: 30-31]

Istiqamah is a comprehensive term: It is to stand before Allah in all truthfulness in the fulfilment of one’s covenant – and it is related to what is uttered upon the tongues, what is carried out upon the limbs and what is concealed in the heart of intentions and sincerity – and also one’s outward state. So it is a comprehensive term. For this reason, we have the beautiful hadeeth:

عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَقِيلَ: أَبِي عَمْرَةَ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: “قُلْت: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! قُلْ لِي فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قَوْلًا لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ أَحَدًا غَيْرَك؛ قَالَ: قُلْ: آمَنْت بِاَللَّهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقِمْ

On the authority of Abu `Amr — and he is also called Abu `Amrah Sufyān bin Abdullah ath- Thaqafee (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:I said, “O Messenger of Allah! Tell me something about Islam which I can ask of no one except you.”

He (ﷺ) said: “Say I believe in Allah — and then be steadfast.” [Muslim, 38]

So istiqamah is to traverse upon the Sirat al-Mustaqeem, the Straight Path of guidance, without veering to the left or the right so that one does not go beyond the limits nor does he fall short: not being extreme and not being negligent. The Shaitān senses the heart of the servant and puts it to the test. So if he senses from it that it turns away from religion, or is lazy and lackadaisical when it comes to the obedience of Allāh, he encourages it further with laziness, ease and distance from the religion until the person disengages from the Religion – so he abandons the obligations and falls into the harām. The Shaitān will not stop until a person severs all his ties with the Religion leaving him utterly devastated and destroyed...[Source: /www.abukhadeejah.com]

Now listen to Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) address this very important matter.

We often discuss the issues of how the environment we live in affects us.  So, what is an Islamic environment that we desire and how is it to be achieved?  Listen to Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) give some highly beneficial advice with regard to this issue.

How is your attachment to Allah?  How is your attachment to the Book of Allah? How is our attachment to the Sunnah of His Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam)?

It is very important that we constantly take account of ourselves and reassess our attachment to our Creator in all its various forms.  

Here is a lecture by the noble Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) that addresses this issue.
