Islam was Spread by the Sword - Hasan as-Somali

How many times have you heard this from people:  "Islam was spread by the sword."  I have heard it way too many times.  

It is repeated so often that people start to believe it and then start taking an apologetic approach. Those of a defeatists kind of mentality among Muslims come forward to try and defend Islam, wanting to refute the notion of this so-called lie, denying that Islam was spread by the aid of the sword, eventually saying that jihad is not legislated within Islam, except in the case of defending oneself.  In their view in their understanding of Islam, taking the initiative in fighting does not exist. 

This goes against the statements of the scholars, let alone the fact that it goes against the Book of Allah and Sunnah. 

When Islam was called to by the Messenger, his call was accompanied by the sword, commanding his leaders to do likewise. Went it became apparent to the people that the Muslims were serious, it removed confusion from their minds related to the seriousness of their calling to this religion, which is the only one acceptable to Allah.

The following clip was originally posted on the website of Germantown Masjid.

Listen to this beautiful benefit by Ustadh Hasan as-Somali (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) that deals with this very matter.

It has been digitally remastered in order to remove excessive background noise, walhamdulillah.

Abu Khadeejah 'Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) delivered a khutbah at the Salafi Masjid in Birmingham titled: Christmas, Islamic Identity and Imitating the Unbelievers.

Let us understand the fact that, there are only two celebrations in the religion of Islam and there is no third, no matter what the people say or do.

Brothers Control Your Emotions - Shaykh Hamzah Abdur-Razaaq

Here is a khutbah that was delivered at Masjid Ibn Baaz, Philly, and posted on the South Philly Dawah Center SoundCloud account.  It was delivered by Ustadh Hamzah Abdur-Razzaq (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

Another excellent, timely reminder about our behavior that is prevalent in these testing times.  Men need to learn to control their emotions and not go off into the realms of impermissible behaviour within their homes and other than their homes,

Arabs Buried their Daughters due to a Protective Jealousy - Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn

One of the attributes that Allah gave to the Arabs in Jahiliyyah was a protective jealously over their women-folk.  In their implementation of this protective nature, they took it beyond all permissible bounds, which led them to bury their daughters alive.  There were two different ways in which they used to kill their daughters. 

Listen to this enlightening audio clip from Abu Suhailah 'Umar Quinn (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) as he goes on to describe this extremism.

Sharh Usool-us-Sunnah of Shaykh Rabee' - Abdulilah Lahmami

In this series of lessons, our brother and Abdulilah Lahmami (hafidhahullah Ta'aala) uses the explanation of Shaykh Rabee' al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullah Ta'aala)  to go through the book ‘Usool-us-Sunnah (Foundations of the Sunnah)’ written by the Imaam of Ahlus-Sunnah Ahmad Ibn-Hanbal (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

This book covers many topics such as following the ruler, the Islamic methods for a ruler to come into power, prescribed punishments in Islam, Jihaad, Eemaan, and much more!

I have taken the original lecture recordings and edited them to remove a lot of the background noise and with the permission of Markaz Muadh and Ustadh Abdulilah Lahmami (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) I am now uploading them here.

May Allah bless all those involved from our Ustadh to all the brothers at Markaz Muaadh who have aided in this noble matter, Aameen.
