The blind-following-of-madhhabs
Shaykh Muhammad Sultan al-Khajnadee
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 65 | Size: 1 MB
Anyone who comes across the discussions of the followers of the madhhabs will not doubt that the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs is one of the causes of decline of the Muslims and their backwardness. It has transformed their minds so that they do not think except with the minds of other people. The Imaams and their first students – rahimahumullaah – did not blindly stick to their own opinions like these followers who have forgotten a large portion of the advice given by the Imaams. Thus Shaytaan has caused enmity and hatred between them so that they relit a fire which Allaah had extinguished and in reality, they turned away from the sayings of the Mujtahid Imaams and clung onto the hypothetical answers given by late-comers who did not leave anything of the madhhabs except their names. Many scholars throughout the ages have understood this fact and so they have written about it and done well. But the work of ‘Allaamah al-Ma’soomee – rahimahullaah – Hadiyyat us-Sultaan ilaa Muslimee Bilaad il-Yaabaan is, despite its small size, perhaps one of the most beneficial books written on the subject. This is this due to its excellent style and strength of proofs, to the point that it is a fatal blow to the misfortune of blind-following of madhhabs. This is a concise version of this book, edited by Shaykh Saleem al- Hilaalee. This book was translated into English by Daawood ibn Ronald Burbank. We ask Allaah, the Blessed and Most High, to make this work beneficial to the Muslims. Those who do not give precedence to anything before Allaah and His Messenger, so that they may unsheathe the sword of knowledge, which is: ‘Allaah says… His Messenger says…’ And ride upon the back of truth, which is acquiring knowledge along with its proof. Thus expelling from Islaam the alterations of those going beyond bounds, the false claims of the deceptive, the misinterpretations of the ignorant and the bigotry of the blind- followers: those who pick and choose from the Qur’aan and divide up their Deen into sects and become separate groups.

This document provides a summary of Imam Razi's viewpoint on objections to oaths in the Quran. Imam Razi responds that:
1) God had already established fundamental beliefs like tawheed (unity of God) and the afterlife through prior arguments, so the oaths serve to reaffirm these beliefs as was customary for Arabs.
2) In Sura 37, God first swears by things to prove God's oneness, then provides the argument that the harmonious universe points to one God. So the oath and argument together establish tawheed.
3) For some oaths, God knew the opponents' views were so absurd that they could be negated without extensive argument

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

The virtue of_honesty_with_the_messenger_of_allah
1. The virtue of Honesty with the Messenger of Allah
By: Ashia Mohammad Al-Sharif
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
All praise and thanks be to Allah, the Lord of Al-‘Alamin, and prayer and peace be
upon the best Messenger and Prophet of Allah Muhammad and be upon his family
and his companions...
Trust is a good characteristic and it is the contrary to treason, the Islamic Religion
ordered us to be honest. The honest person is the beloved one to Allah and people,
Allah said: "Truly, we did offer al-Amanh (the truth or moral responsibility or
honesty and all the duties which Allah has ordained) to the heavens and the earth,
and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it (i.e. afraid of
Allah `s Torment). But man bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant
(of its results). (Chapter of Al –Ahzab, verse: 72) And Allah said: "Verily! Allah
commands that you should render back the trusts to those to whom they are due."
(Chapter of An – Nisa, verse: 58) Allah obliged us to adopt trust and He surnamed
our Prophet who is our model in keeping and acquiring trust as the faithful.” Trust"
means that we prohibit our senses from the forbidden things and not to transgress
the rights of others by preserving trust such as money and the likes. We ought to
remember that one who has no trust has no faith and both of trust and kinship will
stand on the two sides of the Sirat (that is the Bridge set over hell-fire) right and
left, because their great position, to take their rights.
The command to discharge trusts:
Allah has ordered us to discharge trust, has condemned betrayal and warned of it in
many verses and said: “Verily, Allah commands that you should render back the
trusts to those to whom they are due." (Chapter of An- Nisa, verse: 58) Ibn Katheer
said: “It is general in all trusts obligated the human to fulfill, it includes two types:
Allah`s rights such prayer, fasting, and the like, and people’s rights such as deposits
and the like.” Although trust is a heavy burden, it is not impossible, the righteous
servants of Allah characterized by it as Allah described them saying: "Those who
are faithfully true to their amanat (all the duties which Allah has ordained, honesty,
moral responsibility and trusts) and to their covenants." (Chapter of Al-
1
2. Mu’menoon, verse: 8) Take into consideration this literal and moral harmony
between faith and trust, in the Prophet`s (blessing and peace be upon him) saying:
" One who has no trust has no faith and one who has no covenant has no religion". 1
Beside, Allah the Almighty said: “O you who believe! Betray not Allah and His
Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things entrusted to you and all the
duties which Allah has ordained for you." (Chapter of Al-Anfal, verse: 27).
The Prophet’s teaching about discharging trust: "Discharge the trust to one who has
trusted you, do not betray one who has betrayed you." 2
And the Prophet said in
condemning betrayal: "There are three signs of a hypocrite: when he speaks, he
lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays his
trust." 3
Types of amana "trust"
1- The greatest trust, that is adhering to the religion, informing about this
religion is also a trust, the Messengers are Allah`s trustee to His revelation,
the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) said: "Do not you trust me? I
am Allah`s trustee, the Divine Inspiration is revealed to me morning and
evening." In addition, the Muslim scholars and preachers who have come
after them are also guardians in preaching this religion.
2- Every blessing that Allah has granted us is a trust that we should keep and
use it according to His Will, sight is a trust, hearing is a trust, hand is a trust,
leg is a trust, tongue is a trust and money is also a trust, we should spend it in
what satisfies Allah.
3- Honor is a trust that we should preserve and not lose, we should save
ourselves from immorality in addition to everyone we are responsible for
them.
4- Children are a trust, protecting them is a trust, taking care of them is a trust
and raising them is a trust.

Reported by Ahmad and its chain of narrators is fair.

Reported by Abu Dawud and Al-Hakim who graded it as fair.

Reported by Al-Bukhari in his sound collection, chapter of what was written about a person’s will, no. 11756.

3. 5- The work entrusted to us is a trust, undoing it perfect is a betrayal, Abu –
Huriara (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (blessing and
peace be upon him) said: “If trust was missed, you would wait the Hour.’ He
said: ’How does it miss?’ He said: ’If the work was entrusted to non
qualified people, you would wait the Hour!’" 4
6- Keeping secrets is a trust and spreading it is a betrayal, Abu Sa’id Al –
Khudari narrated: The Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed, the most evil of
people in front of Allah on the Day of Resurrection is a man who is intimate
with his wife and then spreads her secret."5
7- Trust means the deposit, and this we should keep and return as it was.6
Some Prophetic traditions relate to the virtue of trust
Ibn Mas’ud narrated: "Testimony of faith (to bear witness that there is no god
except Allah and Mohamed is His Messenger) expiates any sin except trust, man
will be brought on the Day of Judgment, if he was killed in Allah`s Cause, it is
said: discharge your trust, he would say: ‘How can I as the worldly life finish?’
Then the trust will be represented for him at the bottom of hell forever and will be
asked to bring it."
Beloved brothers and sisters, trust is not alien to the souls, but it is a nature (fitra)
that the human has had a natural deposition for knowing it. Sometimes he agrees to
it, other times, he doesn’t, and every one of them will be rewarded. Hudhaifa ibn
Al- Yaman reported: "The Messenger of Allah (blessing and peace be upon him)
foretold to us two prophetic traditions. I have seen one (being fulfilled), and I am
waiting for the other. He (blessing and peace be upon him) told us, Amana (the
trust) descended in the innermost (root) of the hearts of men (that was innately in
their hearts, by Fitrah, or pure human nature). Then the Qur’an was revealed and
they learned from the Qur’an and they learned from the Sunnah. Then the Prophet
(blessing and peace be upon him) told us about the removal of the amanah. He

heart leaving the impression of a faint mark. He would again sleep, and amanah
would be taken away from his heart leaving an impression of a blister, as if you
rolled down an ember on your foot and it was vesicle. He would see a swelling
having nothing in it. The people would enter into transactions with one another and
hardly a person would be left who would return (things) entrusted to him (and there
would look like an honest person) till it would be said: 'In such and such tribe there
is a trustworthy man.'”
How Allah loves the one who has trust, who renders back it to himself, his family,
his work and everything, really no one deserves it except the trustee. The Prophet
(blessing and peace be upon him) said: "Whoever hopes that Allah and His
Messenger love him, let him say the truth when he speaks and discharges his trust
entrusted to him."
Trust is the standard of the serious successful work when combined with the strong,
the trustworthy. "Verily, the best men for you to hire is the strong, the trustworthy."
It is the trust that the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) did bid farewell to
his companions and army saying: "I entrust your religion and your actions and your
seal deeds to Allah." It is the trust that increase the position of Abu ‘Obaida ibn Al-
Jarah , the prophet said: "Verily, there is a trustworthy person for every nation,
Obaida Ibn Al-Jarah is the trustworthy person of this nation." The trust includes
question, discussion and reward, the man has bore it, so he should entrust it, the
Prophet said: "All of you are shepherds and each of you is responsible for his flock.
A man is the shepherd of the people in the house and he is responsible. A woman is
the shepherd of the house of her husband and she is responsible. Each of you is a
shepherd and each is responsible for his flock."
Samples of the Prophet’s (blessing and peace be upon him) trust:

5. Allah (Glory be to Him) undertook the Prophet`s (blessing and peace be upon him)
education and politeness, so he has been the best people in character, politeness and
mind. He was also known by his integrity, truth, and honesty among the people of
Mecca, so they gave him the title of the truthful and honest person.
1- He never ate a date which may drop of charity: Abu Hurira (may Allah be
pleased with him) narrated: "The Prophet Muhammad said: ’By God, when I
turn on my bed and I find a date on it – or in my house - then I pick it up to
eat, I am afraid of it being a charity or part of charity so I leave it.’" 7
2- Discharging the trusts at migration: Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her)
reported that at the time of immigration, the Prophet (blessing and peace be
upon him) appointed: ‘Ali as his deputy in Mecca to render trusts back to the
people of Mecca. They used to leave their deposits with the Prophet
(blessing and peace be upon him) because they know that he had the best
morals. As they surnamed him the honest trustworthy person, they left with
him what they were afraid of losing it with him. So, the Prophet (blessing
and blessing and peace be upon him) migrated and Ali ibn Abi Talib stayed
three days in Mecca to render trusts back. When he finished rendering trusts
back to people, he joined Allah’s Messenger (blessing and peace be upon
him) in his migration.8
This is one of the best images about the Prophet’s
(blessing and peace be upon him) trust where disbelievers of Mecca used to
show hostility against him, hurt him, and plotted to kill him while going to
Mecca. In spite of that, he rendered trusts back and appointed his cousin Ali
Ibn Abi Talib. Had the disbelievers of Quraish not known that the he was a
trustworthy person, they wouldn’t have left their trusts with him. They were
sure about his trust and high morals that nobody else ever had. Allah the
Almighty said:" And by mercy of Allah, you deal with gently. And had you
been severe and harsh-hearted, they would have broken away from you; so
pass over (their faults), and ask (Allah`s) forgiveness for them; and consult
them in the affairs. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in
Allah, certainly, Allah loves those who put their trust (in him). (Chapter of

6. Al –‘Imran, verse: 159) So the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him)
knew that he would gain people’s hearts by his noble morals and so he
treated them well. Thus many Companions followed this Divine guidance.
3- Returning the Ka‘ba`s key to ‘Othman Ibn Talha, Ibn Juraij said: "Allah`s
saying ‘Verily, Allah commands that you should render back to those to
whom they are due.’" Chapter of An-Nisa, verse: 58 was revealed to the
Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) because of Othman Ibn Talha, that
the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) took the Ka‘ba`s key on the
day of conquering the Ka’ba, he took it home, then he went out reciting this
verse and called Othman to render back the key. 9
4- Once the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) came to a Jewish to buy
two garments and pay in installments, the Jewish seized this opportunity, and
he said I knew what he wants, he wanted to waste my money, thus the
Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) said: "He lied, he knew that I am
one of the most pious to Allah and the most careful people to render back
their trusts." 10
5- His informing all what Allah commanded him from informing the message,
advising Muslims and spreading this great religion for all people to the
extent that he was known by this title "the Informer about the Message and
renderer of the trusts back”. Really, he rendered back the trust entrusted to
him and guided us to the straightway, may Allah reward him the best reward
got for any Prophet about his nation.
6- The Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) was characterized by honesty
and truth so he was known as the honest and trustworthy, the story of the
black stone during building the Holy Ka’ba shows that, the Prophet`s
(blessing and peace be upon him) Companions disputed that who deserves
the honor of raising the black stone and putting it in its place, they were
about to fight each at other until they agreed that they would take the
judgment of the first person who would come into the Scared Mosque and it
was the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him ), when they saw him ,they

Reported by At-Termidhi and Al-Albani graded it as sound.

7. said: ’We are satisfied by this honest, this is Muhammad’, the Prophet
(blessing and peace be upon him) said: "Give me a cloak." Then he put the
stone by his noble hand on it then he said: "Every clan holds a side of the
cloak then all you raise it together.” And they did do so until they took it to
its place, then the Prophet raised it. Ibn Hisham said: "Quraish named the
Prophet "the honest" before the title was revealed by Allah."
7- The Prophet`s (blessing and peace be upon him) enemies witnessed the
Prophet`s (blessing and peace be upon him) honesty before his friends and
Companions, before Abi Sufian –the leader of Mecca – embraced Islam, he
was speaking to Hercules, king of Byzantine, he could not deny the
Prophet`s (blessing and peace be upon him) honesty, however he was careful
to dispraise him, when Hercules asked him about what the Prophet (blessing
and peace be upon him) calls for, he answered: "He calls for prayer, truth,
abstinence, keeping the promise and rendering back the trusts."
8- As for his friends and companions no one of them differs over in his honest
for example, what Khadija (may Allah be pleased with her) said during the
commencement of the Divine Inspiration: "By God, you render back the
trust, treat your relatives kindly, and tell the truth. .." And what Jafer Ibn Abi
Talib said to Negus, king of Abyssinia, when he asked him about Islam, he
was giving the answer: "Until Allah convoyed a Messenger of us we know
his lineage, telling the truth, honesty, and his chastity ..." Especially the
Prophet was the model for the honesty, why not when we know that Allah
entrusted to him His seal Message and was the best one who rendered back
the trust. Allah said: "This day, I have perfected your religion for you,
completed My Favor upon you, and have chosen for Islam as your religion."
(Chapter of Al-Ma’ida, verse: 3)
The Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) told his companions examples for
trust for those who came before us, this clears that trust is a noble manner, what the
Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) mentioned was for reminding:
1-The Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) said:
"A man bought a piece of land from another man, and the buyer found an
earthenware jar filled with gold in the land. The buyer said to the seller: 'Take your
7
8. gold, as I have bought only the land from you, but I have not bought the gold from
you.' The (former) owner of the land said: ’I have sold you the land with
everything in it.' So both of them took their case before a man asked: 'Do you
have children?' One of them said: ‘I have a boy.' The other said: ‘I have a girl.' The
man said: 'Marry the girl to the boy and spend the money on both of them and
give the rest of it in charity.' "
2- The Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him ) said: "A man from Bani Israel
asked someone from Bani Israel to give him a loan of one thousand Dinars and the
later gave it to him. The debtor went on a voyage (when the time for the payment
of the debt became due) but he did not find a boat, so he took a piece of wood
and bored it and put 1000 Dinar in it and threw it into the sea. The creditor went
out and took the piece of wood to his family to be used as fire-wood. And when he
saw the wood, he found his money.”
As for our previous predecessors, the trust has taken root in their hearts. With it
they were paying homage and were dealing so. There are many examples to
demonstrate their trust - we do not have time to mention all of them. 11
Unfortunately, we rarely find a trust person, to the extent that it is said that there is
a trust person in any place, this is a sign of the Day of Judgment. Abu Hurira (may
Allah be pleased with him) narrated: "The Prophet (blessing and peace be upon
him) said if the trust was lost, you would wait the Hour. How? If the matter
entrusted to non qualified persons, you would wait the Hour”.12
How a beautiful
thing that the man is honest in his dealing with his Lord, family and with all people,
and the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him) is his model following his
manners, O Allah gather us with the group of the trust people , help us to render
back the trust , O Allah prepare for this nation trust people who bear the burden of
victory, make them the winners, O Allah we ask You to grant us noble manners and
make us with the Prophet (blessing and peace be upon him ) on the Day of
Judgment, O Allah You are The Powerful … Amen, we ask for Allah`s
Forgiveness, and we repent to Him, You are The Ever-Accepting Repentance and
the Most Merciful, peace be upon the Messengers and all praises and thanks be to
