3 Skills a Student of Knowledge Must Develop - Abu 'Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

The three skills that must be developed bought here by Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) were found mentioned in the audio from his reading of the explanation of 'Aqidah at-Tahawiyyah by Shaykh Saalih ibn 'Abdul-'Aziz Aala Ash-Shaykh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) that can be download from this link. An extremely beneficial series of lectures. 

Here is that very beneficial advice:
Summary of the Advice

First Skill: Taking clear notes with good handwriting such that you are able to read what you have written when you are going to revise them and memorize them.

Second Skill: Summarising the notes that you take such that once you have taken the notes, you read them later and summarize them so that you are able to know the basic points and important benefits.

Third Skill: Revising whatever you have noted down from the class you have attended such that you memorize the important points.

“Knowledge disappears if you do not attend to it”

EDIT: What I mean by the word “Student of Knowledge” in the heading is; anyone who studies the religion upon the hands of the scholars or upon the hands of those who are recommended by the scholars. So, basically, the one who has just begun to attend the English lectures, and the advanced student who is attending to the advanced lessons of the scholars and are involved in giving da’wah are all included in this statement. These three skills which are mentioned may also be applied in acquiring worldly knowledge too. Wallah A’lam.

He's Interested in Your Daughter for Marriage, Forget the Meeting! - Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid

The following question is one of many that have been extracted from a lecture that I found on the YouTube channel of Umm Uthmaan al-Majariyyah (may Allah have mercy upon her).

In this particular piece of audio, Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) was asked the following:

"I have a daughter who is 16 and we have had a marriage proposal for her from a Salafi brother. I know my daughter can see and meet this individual according to the Sunnah with her walee (guardian) present. My question is, what part does the mother play in such a meeting, and is she also present?"


Here is his response, get yourself ready for it!

Shaded by Allah's Shade - Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali

Summer is here, temperatures are extremely high and rising even higher, becoming more-and-more unbearable day-by-day. 

Then, should we not reflect on the fact that there is a day coming (very soon) on which the sun will be brought close. On a day, when there will be no shade except for those provided with Allāh's Shade.

The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) has indeed described for us this successful group in the following narration, may Allah make us from them.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Seven (people) will be shaded by Allah by His Shade on the Day of Resurrection when there will be no shade except His Shade. (They will be), a just ruler, a young man who has been brought up in the worship of Allah, a man who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes are then flooded with tears, a man whose heart is attached to mosques (offers his compulsory congregational prayers in the mosque), two men who love each other for Allah's Sake, a man who is called by a charming lady of noble birth to commit illegal sexual intercourse with her, and he says, 'I am afraid of Allah,' and (finally), a man who gives in charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand has given." [Sahih al-Bukhari, 6806]

This is a khutbah delivered by Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali (rahimahullah Ta'ala) based around the following hadeeth:

The audio has been cleaned up to reduce a lot of the background noise, walhamdulillah, and is now being presented here for us to benefit from.

Advice Regarding the Excessive Use of Mobile Phones & Twitter - Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari

On the 19th of July, 2016, during the Fourth Dawrah Ilmiyyah that took place in the Maldives, Shaykh Abdullah al-Bukhari (hafihdahullah ta'ala) was asked a question about the excessive use of mobile phones and Twitter.  The advice, in the original audio, was translated into the local language.  

What I have done is to extract the Arabic, edit it to improve its quality by removing a considerable amount of the background noise and now post is below, so that others can benefit from it too.

May Allah bless our Shaykh and all those involved in organising such beneficial events, Aameen.
