Salafi Audio UNLIMITED

A few months ago Masjid ash-Shura, from Norfolk, Virginia came as an umrah group.  

By the grace of Allah and the permission of its organisers, such as our brother Raha Batts (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) who translated this lecture, a few of the brothers living in and around Makkah were allowed to attend the two lectures that were being delivered on Jumu'ah the 1st of Rajab 1440, for the umrah group.

Here I present to you that recording I made that evening with the consent of our brother and was later posted on their SoundCloud account.  

Of the two lectures being delivered that evening (the second being by our Shaykh Mustafa Mubram (hafidhahullah Ta'ala), I sought permission from our brother Raha to be allowed to post some of extracted fawa'id from the first lecture that was delivered by Shaykh Ahmad az-Zahrani (hafidhahullah Ta'ala), on my website.   The Shaykh has been highly praised by our Shaykh, the Allaamah Rabee' ibn Haadee 'Umayr al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

As you will notice that I have left the title as I had labelled it after the kalimah was delivered.

In it, the Shaykh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) brings 6 key principles, as you will see, that are timely reminders in the religion of al-Islam for how we should behave during times of fitan (pl. of `fitnah (trials, tests & tribulations)) such as the time we (Ahlus-Sunnah) are going through right now.

1 - Conveying the Salams of Shaykh Rabee'

2 - Hold Fast to the Book & the Sunnah

3 - Hold Fast to that which the Senior Scholars are Upon

4 - It is Upon you to Seek Knowledge

5 - Adorn Yourselves with a Virtuous Character

This is a 25 minute benefit that highlights the bad companionship, which is an enemy of the youth.  From a series delivered by Abu Muhammad al-Maghribee (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) titled: Advice for Our Youth.

An essential initial listen for both youth and adults.  The question you may be asking yourself is, how is this connected to coffee?  You will have to listen, in order to find out, barak Allahu feekum!

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]

Here is a khutbah that was delivered at Germantown Masjid over 6 years ago, on the 9th of October 2015 by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

It was posted on their official SoundCloud account about 2 years ago.

Listening to songs is prohibited (harām) due to the saying of Allah:

وَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَن يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَن سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَيَتَّخِذَهَا هُزُوًا ۚ أُولَٰئِكَ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ مُّهِينٌ – 31:6

“And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead others from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.” (Luqmān: 6) The “amusement of speech’ is singing as was explained by a group of the Sahābah such as Ibn Mas’ūd (radiyallāhu ‘anhu).

There is a hadeeth reported in Saheeh Al-Bukhāri (no. 5590) that the Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: “There will be a people at the end of time who will make permissible fornication, silk (for men), wine and musical instruments ―Allah will cause the earth to swallow them up.” The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) put musical instruments alongside fornication, wearing of silk for men and the drinking of wine (alcohol) ―all of these things are harām. So this proves that music is harām ―that includes musical instruments and singing. (See Al-Jāmi’ fī Fiqhil-‘Allāmah Ibn Bāz, p. 1203)

Allah stated: “And of the people is he who buys the amusement of speech to mislead others from the way of Allah without knowledge and who takes it in ridicule. Those will have a humiliating punishment.” (Luqmān: 6) Ibn ‘Abbās said: “It refers to singing.” (Tafsīr At-Tabari) Hasan Al-Basrī: said: “The verse was revealed concerning flutes and singing.” (Tafsīr Ibn Kathīr) Ibn Mas’ūd said: “By Allah besides whom there is none worthy of worship, it refers to singing.” And he repeated it three times. And the same was reported from Ibn ‘Umar. (See Ighāthatul-Luhfān of Ibn Al-Qayyim)

Shaikh Al-Albānī explained that the hadeeths forbidding musical instruments are clearcut without ambiguity, except for the simple drum that is played by women at weddings or on ‘Eid. The Four Imāms: Abu Hanīfah, Mālik, Shāfi’i and Ahmad are in agreement upon this forbiddance. (See As-Saheehah 1/145) [www.abukhadeejah.com]

With that introduction, go and listen to this extremely beneficial audio, barak Allahu feekum!

Here is a beautiful reminder by Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).  

I originally intended to extract a benefit that I had heard in this audio. As I was listening, the benefit became longer and longer.  

Finally, I just decided to post the entire audio.  Having put it through the digital remastering process, it is now being presented here for you to benefit from, walhamdulillah

Here is a khutbah that was delivered by Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).  A reminder of a reality that is coming when we will all stand naked and uncircumcised in front of our Creator to face the ultimate accountability for our actions.  It is a day that all of us will dread and none will be able to escape.  May Allah protect us all, Aameen.

Here is a nice benefit from Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) where he mentions the importance of giving time to your spouse when you are at home and not being preoccupied with other things.   He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) specifically mentioned the issue of the mobile phone.

For now, listen to this benefit and reflect over it, barak Allahu feekum.

This audio by Abul-Hasan Malik (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) has been taken from the YouTube account of Cardiff Dawah.  

The main point of this reminder is that whenever someone has been refuted the response that they give is that the one doing the refuting is jealous of the one being refuted.   Diverting the attention away from the affairs that have been refuted. 

A beautiful reminder for us all!

A time-honoured classic lecture by Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).  In some posts, it has been labelled as Poisonous Indoctrination. That deals with issues of realities that we often do not want to face.  Is it not time to face up to our responsibilities?

It has been digitally edited before being posted here,

The only reason for extracting this particular benefit by Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn (haffidhahullah Ta'ala) is as a primer to get you to listen to the complete lecture which is titled: Who's to Blame
