The Decisive Word On The Factors Of Victory And Establishment
Shaykh, Dr Muhammad bin Moosaa Aal Nasr
Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 25 | Size: 1 MB
Indeed the best speech is the speech of Allaah and the best guidance is that of Muhammad (sallallaahu alayhi wassallam) and the worst of affairs are the newly invented matters in the religion, for every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the hellfire. The Islamic Ummah has been tested for over half a century with successive defeats and most of the Ummah is heedless as to the reasons for such defeats and afflictions. Allaah says: “Say, “it is from yourselves (i.e. due to your sin).” {Aali-Imraan: 165} – And Allaah says: “And whatever strikes you of disaster – it is for what your hands have earned; but He pardons much.” {ash-Shooraa: 30}. If our Ummah, at an individual level and at a societal level, the rulers and the ruled, reflected on the Book of Allaah and acted by its rulings and divine laws it would have achieved the causes for victory over their enemies. This is so they know that the Sunnah of Allaah in His creation does not change or become substituted by the passing of the times and by the repetition of the times. This an Excellent work on what exactly will bring victory to the Muslim Ummah.
Remembrance and prayer the way of the prophet muhammad (saw) by muhammad al g...docsforu
HAYKH MUHAMMAD AL-GHAZALl (1335-1416 AH/
1917-1996 CE) was one of the pioneers of the contemporary
Islamic revival. Born in Egypt, he graduated from Al-Azhar
University in 1941 and embarked on a career of writing,
lecturing, and calling people to Allah. As the author of over
fifty books, Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ghazali was a leading
authority on Islam throughout his life. For many years he
served in the Department of Awqaf in Egypt before moving on
to teach at Umm al Qura University in Makkah. He was also
an academic advisor at both Qatar University and the Islamic
University of Amir Abdul Qadir in Algeria. In his lifetime,
Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ghazali lived the ideals of his faith,
and his character reflected the close relationship he had
established with Allah. On the 19th of Shawwal in 1416
(March 9,1996) he passed on to the mercy of Allah while on
a visit to the Holy Places, and was buried at al-Madinah.
YUSUF TALAL DELORENZO is an American who, after his
conversion to Islam while still an undergraduate, went on to
study Islamic jurisprudence in the traditional madrassah
system in Pakistan. Following completion of his studies, Yusuf
Talal began a career of teaching Islamic law which in 1980
brought Shaykh Muhammad Al-Ghazali to him for ten days as
his house guest in Sri Lanka where he was director of the
Naleemiyah Institute of Islamic Studies. At the Shaykh’s
suggestion, 1 usuf Talal undertook the translation of this book.
Today, Yusuf Talal DeLorenzo is an expert on Islamic finance
and serves on the Shariah boards of numerous Islamic funds
and financial institutions, including the Dow Jones Islamic
Market Index.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Young Men Be Productive
1. All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that
Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, may Allaah exalt his
mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Young Men Be Productive
All praise is due to Allaah, the Lord of the first and last, the Sustainer of the
heavens and earth. May Allaah exalt the mention of Prophet Muhammad, who
was sent as a mercy to all mankind, his family and companions.
Have you ever seen a man whose back has become hunched, his hair gray,
his steps heavy and his teeth lost? He has difficulty in praying, fasting, eating
and drinking He was once a young man like you. He lived the life of young men.
He walked, played and entertained himself as young men do. He thought that the
days of young age will be long and the strength of youth will last forever.
Today, after he has become old and weak, afflicted with many ailments, he
cries over his past. He cries over the time he wasted in vain play and worthless
actions. He cries over the strength which has departed him and wishes to regain
it so that he would utilize it in the obedience of Allaah. But it is too late. Every
new day calls upon the son of Aadam saying, ‘O son of Aadam! I am a new day,
and will be a witness to what you do, so take advantage of me, because once I
leave I will never come back until the day of Resurrection’.
This man continues to live a life of sorrow and regret. He does not have the
power to worship Allaah due to his weakness and age… he wants to pray, but
finds it difficult, he wishes to fast, but cannot. Sickness has exhausted him, pain
has overwhelmed him and that is why he cries in regret.
Beware of the Hope to Live Long
Dear young man! You may say, 'Why will I wait until I reach this level of
weakness? I will repent before that, perhaps at the age of forty or shortly after,
which is the age during which men enjoy the best of their health and strength.
By then, I will have enjoyed my youth and so, will worship Allaah after that;
Allaah is All-Forgiving and All-Merciful, He forgives His slave when he
repents, even if he has reached fifty or sixty years of age. As long as the soul of
the slave has not reached his throat, Allaah will forgive him.'
3. Dear brother! In order to show how feeble this plan is, I would like to ask
you a question: who has guaranteed you life until thirty or forty years of age?
Who can guarantee that you will live until tomorrow? In fact, who can guarantee
that you will stand up from where you are now? Do you not know that death
strikes suddenly, and that it attacks youth just as it hits the aged?
Did you not see how many young men have died? Did any of them get the
chance to repent, or were their deaths delayed until they repented? Did they
benefit in their graves from the time that they wasted in sinning? Did they reach
the age you want to reach before you repent? Why then do you take the risk and
hope to live long enough to repent?
Why do you delay repentance and remain heedless when you know that
death comes unexpectedly, “And turn to Allaah in repentance, all of you, O
believers, that you may succeed.” (An-Noor: 31). The False for hope to live a
long life is a form of heedlessness, and it is one of the major dilemmas, because
if it was not for this false hope, negligence would not have taken place initially,
and it is the reason people commit sins and delay repentance.
An Incompetent Youth
Dear youth! What guarantee do you have that when you do reach forty, you
will still enjoy your strength and ability to worship Allaah in the best manner, as
you claim? Is it not possible for a twenty or a thirty-year-old young man to be
afflicted with diseases, which can incapacitate him and confine him to bed for
the rest of his life?
Dear brother! Renew your repentance, perhaps this will save you from
punishment, and beware of sinning, because the one who challenges Allaah will
fall into destruction.
The Consequence of Delaying
Dear brother! There is another matter which you are unaware of, and that is
that delaying does not have a limit. A person may continue to delay repentance
until he reaches his grave. If he reaches thirty he would say, I will repent
tomorrow, and when he passes forty, he would still postpone his repentance.
4. www.islamweb.net
Every day which passes by makes him grow further away from Allaah, and
away from repentance and the way leading to it. Only the determined person
repents immediately and shuns sinning.
Dear youth! Beware of delaying and relying heavily and unduly on the
forgiveness of Allaah. Indeed Allaah is All-Forgiving, but He is also severe and
painful in punishment, “Indeed, the assault (i.e. vengeance) of your Lord is
severe.” (Al-Burooj: 12), and also “And thus is the seizure of your Lord when
He seizes the cities while they are committing wrong. Indeed, His seizure is
painful and severe.” (Hood: 102).
There are usually three reasons behind being relaxed and feeling secure from the
wrath of Allaah,
First, being overwhelmed by the immediate joys and pleasures of this world and
so a person is blinded by them.
Second, delaying repentance, for if people think, then they would be careful and
would not delay it.
Third, having hope in the mercy of Allaah and forgetting that Allaah is also
severe in punishment.
A Youth Who Grows Up in Obedience
Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “Seven people will be under the shade of
(the throne of) Allaah on the Day when there will be no shade but His, … a
man who grew up in the obedience of Allaah”.
Dear youth! Do you not want Allaah to protect you with His shade?
Do you not want to receive your record with your right hand and say with joy as
Allaah says which means, “So as for he who has given his record in his right
hand, he will say, 'Here, read my record! Indeed, I was certain that I would be
meeting my account.'” (Al-Haaqqah: 19-20)?
Do you not want to meet the Prophets and Messengers in Paradise?
5. Do you not want to enjoy the virgins of Paradise?
Do you not want to enjoy looking at the Face of Allaah as says which means,
“(Some) faces, that Day, will be radiant, looking at their Lord.” (Al-
Qiyaamah: 22-23)?
Do you not want to enjoy pleasure that will last forever?
If you want all that we mentioned, then get ready, think about your destiny and
where you are heading, and do not forget that life is short and fleeting.
A Prophetic Advice
Our Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, while advising a man, as
narrated by Ibn ’Abbaas, may Allaah be pleased with him, “Take advantage of
five things before five other things occur; your youth before you become old,
your health before you become sick, your wealth before you become poor, your
spare time before you become busy, and your life before death” (Al-Haakim &
Al-Bayhaqi).
The Way Islaam Deals with Desires
Dear brother! It is a mistake to think that Islaam absolutely forbids and
deprives us from fulfilling our desires and enjoying life, or that it prohibits fun.
This is not true. Islaam has allowed fun but it has set certain boundaries for
enjoyment to prevent man from becoming enslaved by his desires. Among the
many things which Islaam has allowed, and even encouraged within these
boundaries, are,
1. Marriage: Islaam has encouraged marriage and made it a means to control
desires and a way for love and compassion to develop between the husband
and wife, as Allaah says which means “And from His signs is that He
created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in
them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are
signs for a people who give thought.” (Ar-Room: 21). Due to the intensity of
sexual desire at youth, the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam gave them a
6. www.islamweb.net
special advice saying, “ O y o u t h s ! W h o e v e r a m o n g s t y o u h a s t h e
requirements of marriage, should marry; as it is more effective in lowering
the gaze and in curbing lust.” (Al-Bukhaari & Muslim).
There are many benefits to marrying,
It is a fulfillment of the command of Allaah and following the way of the
Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
It establishes love, harmony and compassion between spouses.
It prevents mixing between lineages.
It preserves chastity and controls desires.
It increases and strengthens the Muslim population.
It protects the community against corruption.
It protects against sexually transmitted diseases, which spread through illicit
sexual activities; such prohibited relations can also cause enmity, famine and
adversities.
2. Eating and drinking: Allaah permitted us to eat and drink anything which is
permissible provided that it is not ill-gotten, other than during the daytime in
the month of Ramadhaan and without extravagance. Allaah says what means,
quot;Eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allaah) likes
not those who waste by extravagance.quot; (Al-A'raaf: 31).
3. Joking and laughter: The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to
laugh and joke, but used only true statements to entertain. Islaam does not
allow lying or making fun of others for joy and entertainment. The Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, “Woe to the one who lies while talking,
in order to make people laugh; woe to him; woe to him.” (Ahmad & At-
Tirmithi).
7. 4. Traveling and visitations: This is another allowed matter, on the condition
that it does not include sinning, like mixing between men and women,
smoking, listening to music and immoral conversations, etc.
5. Sports and exercise: A strong believer is more beloved to Allaah than a weak
believer. ‘Umar, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, ‘Teach your children
swimming, archery and horseback riding’. Youth should have good
intentions when learning these things, like Jihaad for the sake of Allaah, self-
defense and protecting himself, his religion, honor and wealth.
Be productive
Dear youth! We have talked for long enough, so why don’t we start acting? I
admit that it is difficult at first, but remember the saying of the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, “There are two bounties which people do not
give their due thanks (do not utilize properly): health and spare time” (Al-
Bukhaari). It is as if you are being addressed by this, because you are in the age
of strength and health, and have a lot of time to utilize, so why don’t you take
advantage of this time by using it to do what brings you closer to Allaah and
benefits you in the Hereafter?
‘Abdullaah ibn Mas’ood, may Allaah be pleased with him, said, ‘I hate to
see man not utilizing his time in something useful for his life in this world or the
life in the Hereafter’.
Ibn Shaybaan, may Allaah have mercy on him, said, ‘He who preserves his
time and, does not waste it in what displeases Allaah; Allaah will preserve for
him his religion and worldly affairs’.
Finally
Dear youth! Remember the following:
Your life is a capital you posses, so do not waste it in unbeneficial things.
8. www.islamweb.net
Be selective in the company you keep and do not befriend evil people.
Guard your prayers, because they are your rescuers. And do not sleep through
the dawn prayer.
Perform Wudhoo’ e v e n w h e n y o u f i n d i t h a r d t o d o s o , a t t e n d t h e
congregational prayer and spend time in the mosque waiting for the next
prayer.
Rush to the mosque as soon as you hear the call for prayer.
Fast optional voluntary fasts, as they are a protection for you in your youth.
Get yourself used to spending in charity because relieves it you from many
hardships.
Rush to perform Hajj. And remember that performing one ‘Umrah after
another is an expiation of the minor sins between them.
Recite a portion from the Qur’aan daily.
Exaggerate in remembrance and supplication to Allaah, because Allaah loves
those who remember Him and supplicate to Him.
Read the biography of the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his
companions to take from their qualities.
Attend sessions of knowledge, because seeking knowledge is an obligation.
Be humble because arrogant people will not be admitted in Paradise.
Obey your parents, because rebellious people will not enter Paradise.
Avoid music and singing, because their love and the love of the Qur’aan can
never be combined in one heart. So choose for yourself.
Lower your gaze, as it is the action of the pious.
