The Biography of Ibn Taymiyyah - Hasan as-Somali

We previously released a lecture titled: The Life and Lineage of Shaykh al Islam ibn Taymiyyah by Abu Uwais Abdullah Ali (rahimahullah Ta'ala) with a series of extracted benefit along with it. 

Go have a listen to it, barak Allahu feekum.  

Here are 2 more audios with the same theme. They are from the SoundCloud account of Germantown Masjid where Hasan as-Somali h(rahimahullah Ta'ala) ad started teaching the explanation of al-Aqeedah al-Wasitiyyah. Two amazingly insightful lectures that have once again been digitally remastered & are now being presented here.

On one occasion Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) politely declined an invitation by his father to go with his brother to play in the park.  Listen to the audio & find out why he did this and what he achieved while they were out.

I highly recommend that every single person download both of these lectures & listen to them.  You will be amazed at the life of Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah Ta'ala).

Lesson 1:
Lesson 2:
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]

The Modesty of the Hijab, an Advice to Women - Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah

Listen to another knowledge-based lecture by an Aalim of the Sunnah, who was recognised and recommended by the likes of Shaykh al-Albaanee, Shaykh Ibn Baaz (rahimahumullah Ta'ala), and others, as someone who the people should invite to their countries and take benefit from. 

He (rahimahullah Ta'ala) addresses the women with regard to this very important issue of what is the true meaning and implementation of the (legislated) hijab in the religion of al-Islam.  

One thing that I do with many of the lectures of the Shaykh (rahimahullah Ta'ala) after removing background noise is to slow their playback speed down by about 10%, by doing this helps to considerably improve the overall listening experience.
