Why Don't You Teach in Urdu? - Abu Idrees Muhammad

Urdu is a language that the da'wah has been void of for a long time. 

Abu Idrees Muhammad (hafidhahulalh Ta'ala) was asked during the: How to Live as a Muslim During Challenging Times conference in 2017, held by our brother at alBaseerah in Bradford, why don't the Salafee teachers teach in Urdu and Punjabi.

Listen to the answer that he (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) gave with a little Urdu input by Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).
NOTE: For authentic material in the Urdu language visit the website of our brothers at Maktabah Salafiyyah, Islamabad.

The Status of the Scholars and Students of Knowledge – Abdulilah Lahmami

This is a lecture that was posted on the Masjid Daar us-Sunnah website back in early 2017.  The following introduction has pretty-much been taken from that posting with some slight changes.

In these troubled times, only those blessed with true insight can recognize the severity of the trials and tribulations we are living through. We live in an era marked by boasting, self-admiration, and the pursuit of recognition. Many tongues have become eager to seek worldly gain through deeds that were meant for the Hereafter.

This profound and thought-provoking lecture by Abdulilah Lahmami (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) sheds light on the true status of the scholars and those who carry Islamic knowledge. It clarifies the noble responsibility placed upon the 'ulema and students of sacred learning, and reminds us that knowledge is not a means for fame, status, or argumentation, but a trust that must be upheld with sincerity and humility.

He (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) emphasizes that authentic knowledge cultivates reverence for Allah (Azza wa Jall), softens the heart, and increases one’s commitment to righteous conduct. It should lead to modesty, service to the community, and sincere concern for the guidance of others, not arrogance or self-promotion.

The lecture also serves as a reminder for those who seek knowledge, warning them against using dīn as a tool for personal benefit. True students of knowledge strive for purification of the soul alongside intellectual growth, understanding that action without sincerity is hollow, and learning without humility is dangerous.

This is a message for the thoughtful and sincere, and a warning for the heedless. It calls believers to examine their intentions, renew their sincerity, and return to the path of humility, integrity, and devotion.

May Allah (Azza wa Jall) grant us beneficial knowledge, pure intentions, and hearts that submit sincerely to Him. Aameen.
