A Brief Glimpse into the Life of Ibn Taymiyyah – Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis

This is a lecture that was delivered by Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) Masjid Daar us Sunnah and posted on their official website, from where it has been downloaded.

They wrote: "He was the Shaykh, the Imām, the ʿAllāmah, the Hāfidh, the Nāqiḍ (Skilled Critic), the Faqīh, the Mujtahid, the Mufassir, the Proficient, the signpost of the ascetics, the outstanding phenomenon of the era, Taqī al-Dīn Abū al-ʿAbbās Aḥmad bin al-Fatī Shihāb al-Dīn ʿAbd al-Ḥalīm [Ibn Taymiyyah]… And he was amongst the oceans of knowledge, from the limited intellectuals, the ascetics, the unique individuals, the great braves, the most generous nobles. He was praised by both the one who agreed with him and the one who differed with him and he became famous by his works, and perhaps they number three-hundred volumes… He held certain rulings which were unique to him and on account of which his honour was attacked. But these are obscured by the (vast) ocean of his knowledge, and Allāh, the Most High, will pardon him and will be pleased with him. I have not seen the likes of him, and the speech of every person from this ummah can be accepted or rejected, so what was he [except one from this ummah]? – read more here

Here is that edited lecture:
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]

Q&A Session - Shaykh Abdul-Khaliq Madi

Recently a conference took place as Markaz us-Sunnah, Alperton.  The guest speaker was Shaykh Dr. Abdul-Khaliq Madi (hafidhahullah Ta'ala). Over 3 days the Shaykh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) taught:  The Beneficial Means to a Happy Life by Shaykh Abdur-Rahman al-Sa'di.  Also, during this conference there was an almost 3 hours long questions and answer session of which the following is a breakdown.

All of the classes were translated by Abu Ukkashah Abdul-Hakeem (hafidhahullah Ta'ala).

The question have been slightly paraphrased for ease of understanding:

Question 1: It is the case that I find myself to be from those that they fall into sins upon occasions and repent, and I often advise my soul, and I tell my soul, do not fall into sin! To the extent that I advise myself, do not sin and do not disobey Allah, because Allah (subhanahu wa Ta’ala) He sees you. There is the case I found within myself, some kind of determination, sadly, to persist upon that sin and I end up returning to it.  What advice can be given in such a situation and condition?

Question 2: We are a congregation of youth that go to a government school, and we don’t find the ability and time to pray Salatul-Jumu’ah outside the school because we are unable to leave.  Is it allowed for us and what is his advice if we were to establish Jumu’ah, both the Khutbah and the Salah inside the school?
Question 3: It is the case I suffer from an illness that doesn’t allow me to focus, and I find it the case that every time I try to read the Qur’an or I enter into Salah, I find it very difficult to concentrate and I find that I lack patience in that regard. what advice do you have for me?

Question 4: So there several questions from several different brothers concerning the fact that their family are actually Rafidah, from the extreme of the Shi’a, and the ask that is it allowed for me in that circumstance if I was to enter the home to give salam to my family and eat from the meat, even if it's the case that they purchased from a Sunni, or from Ahlus-Sunnah?

Question 5: It's the case that my father passed away over a year ago and it's our belief that he died due to medical negligence. Alhamdulillah and Qadr Allahu ma Shaa Faal, All praise belongs to Allah, indeed it was the will of Allah.  He does as He pleases! 

The hospital tried to give us all of their information in which indicated actually there was some kind of negligence that had taken place, but it is the case, sadly that for us to raise the issue with the courts, it is the case that we have to go for some kind of process in which we would engage in interest. So, is it permissible in that regard if we wanted to try and pursue this within the courts if we were to use this process that would sadly require us and to force us to engage in interest.

Is it permissible for us if that's not the case to use other means of somehow making a complaint against the hospital, may Allah reward you with good?
Question 6: Is it permissible for a person to have a limb amputated like a hand or foot, if it's the case that the doctors have advised with that?

Question 7: The question comes in two parts. The first part is, what is the ruling for a husband that struggles a lot to pray Fajr in Jama’ah and his wife has tried a lot, almost everything to wake him up for Salah, but he doesn't! Very rarely does he go to Jama’ah, and his excuse is that he's always tired and he's stressed, and he has lots of debt problems and his family on the south of and all of this doesn't help him.  I’ve tried giving him naseehah, cold water, threatening with asking for divorce, but it's not working, and he says that he's tried but doesn't really know why he’s struggled so much with Fajr and why he doesn't pray. As his wife I feel I hate staying with him.

The second part is that he also smokes, and I've told him that it is Haram to smoke and it's like killing and he says that this is my weakness, and I cannot give up smoking the one go! What is your advice to me and my husband as he might be hearing this lecture now and note that we have a son together, and I fear that he might have bad influence on him?
Question 8: So what advice would you give to young student of knowledge who finds themselves wasting time on the phone and on social media?

Question 9: What should one do If their father does Sihr?  I don't have much evidence other than that he would collect our nails and put Taweer on our walls.

Question 10: Indeed, I've heard some people saying that migration from the UK is only Mustahab, it is something which is recommended, is that correct?

Question 11: The sister wanted advice how she can stay patient and not lose hope with her children that suffer from, and have been afflicted with autism and she struggles with child has been affected with what advice would you give?

Question 12: What advice would you give to a person who has been afflicted by Sihr, by magic and is the reading of Suratul-Fatihah on a cup of water, for example, something which is of benefit and likewise is the use of Qist al-Hindi or Bahari is and black seed, is that likewise a type of means of, in shaa Allah, a type of cure for a person who's been afflicted by Sihr, along with reading the Qur’an, in shaa Allah!  and if it's the case that we know the person who has done the magic can we go to them and can we confront them, what should we do?

Question 13: What advice could you give for somebody that's just lost a child who was only a few weeks old?

Question 14: Is it permissible for the sister to wear a khimar, a scarf that comes from the head and covers typically the chest that which is beyond it. And sometimes it's less and sometimes it is more than that. With an abaya instead of wearing the jilbab, i.e., over the abaya?

Question 15: The shaykh (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) was asked for encouragement in terms of the parents to attend the lessons inside of the masjid because perhaps they come with some kind of excuse as to why they don't attend them?
