Innovation in Purification of the Soul in the Acts of Worship

The acts of worship are acts that the Qur’aan and Sunnah inform or command us to do. Therefore each and every act of worship should have a basis in the Qur’aan and Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW) and what extends from that. The first acts of Worship are the 5 pillars and then the rest. Something common with the people who use innovated form of purifying their souls get these adhkar or du’aas that their shaykh gives them, and they say that my Shaykh had a dream where the Prophet (SAW) appeared and gave him this adhkar or du’aa. In fact one group of them says that if you say this special du’aa then the Prophet (SAW) and Abu Bakr and Umar, and Uthman and Ali will attend the majlis. So in one instance they wrote in an English book not to say this in a car, because if you do this then there will not be enough room in the car for them to appear. They also tell their followers to wear special types of clothes and special types of food. They begin to take on the characteristics of a cult and slowly cut them off from the community or general muslim body. They tell the person, whom they call a mureed, that in order for you to be a proper devotee with the shaykh you must be like a dead person with that one who is washing. When a person is deceased they just lie there and when someone comes to them to wash their body they don’t complain because they can’t. They don’t complain about the water being too hot or cold, and when the washer raises his hands they raise it as well. They dead body just does what ever the washer does without any resistance. This is the manner they need to be with their shaykh in order to be a good mureed. Never commenting on what the shaykh does and just blindly follow them.

 

Some people might say that isn’t it true that throughout Islamic history very prominent scholars were identified as Sufis, or they entered into tasawwuf. Here we have to question what does this term mean? The term tasawwuf is a generic term and it means different things to different people. One cannot say that historically if a person or scholar was known as a sufi, you cannot assume that that person is practicing the same tasawwuf that is being practiced today, as mentioned above. One cannot make that assumption. I will put forth a challenge to the Sufis, that any Sufi order in the world today can bring us your books that you read in your private circle with your shaykh, and let us see if your books have those matters that have been outlined or not. I guarantee that there isn’t an order in the world that doesn’t have these matters contained within them. All the issues mentioned above of the issues in vleiefs and actions, like wahdat alwujood, and relying only on love, and ascribe divinty to the Prophet (SAW) or one or many of their awliyaa, and also the issue of the shaykh, that he can’t be questioned. In the issue mentioned last, they go to the extreme to even say that if the shaykh commits zina or theft it is okay because you will not understand the shaykhs actions. Yet the Prophet (SAW)’s seerah is clean and clear for all to see and he didn’t have a separate lifestyle in home and outside, and his wives, and family and companions confirm this.

 

Had Allah wanted us to join these tariqas and be these kinds of men, He would’ve mentioned it in the Qur’aan and Sunnah. I don’t want brothers to take everything I am saying and accept it, I would like them to be critical. I want them to take what I am saying or what anyone else says and put it against and the Qur’an and Sunnah and see if it is found in it or it agrees with it or not. I don’t want people to be deceived by names and titles and personalities because that is not the criteria, it is the bookof Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet (SAW). If it agrees we accept it and if it contradicts then we reject it. This doesn’t mean that the person whose words oppose it is wicked or evil, rather he could be ignorant or misguided and we should teach him in a nice manner.

Lyre Bird: One of Allah’s Most Interesting Creations!

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa rahamtullah,

SUBHANALLAH!!! I actually saw this video about a year ago, and thought about putting it on my blog but totally forgot. But this has got to be the most amazing and interesting of creatures, that Allah has put upon this earth. The first time I saw this I had just finished a course in Evolutionary Biology. I was actually with a group of friends studying for the MCAT. And my first reaction after watching the video was a verbal outburst that came to me without any thought, and I said “Let evolution try to explain that!”. And I thought about what i had said and tried a little bit to look for an evolutionary explanation, I haven’t found one yet. But I was able to see that other’s have brought this example as a point of weakness for certain aspects of the theory of evolution. I keep saying SubhanAllah over and over and over again watching this video. And after this I think David Attenborough is one of my favorite show hosts/shows! May Allah Guide this man to Islam! When you get a chance try to watch this other videos online, insha’Allah. SubhanAllah! Allah’s Creation is so expansive and perfect. I can’t even begin to fathom the magnanimity of the number of species of living things on earth there are estimates around 14 million species in the world, and only about 2 million of them have been named. And the estimates I have read are even higher as to how many of them we have discovered. I remember reading in a textbook that it is very likely that we have only discovered about 5% of the species on earth. Can you Imagine that?? Well what I feel when I watch this video can not be put in word entirely, so just watch it! I just lock my eyes and drop my jaw every time!!!

SubhanAllah!!! Alhamdulillah!!! Wa Allahu Akbar!!!

Yasir Qadhi: Practical Steps to Seek Islamic Knowledge in America (Audio)

UPDATE: The download link is at the bottom and The Q&A is up as well - Click Here!!

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullah,

This is in regards to this post from earlier in the week. I got my hands on the audio alhamdulillah. I thought this was an awesome lecture, and really benefited from the few ahadith Shaykh Yasir Qadhi quoted that I had never heard before. The other stuff he talked about was discussed many times before and I have heard it multiple times alhamdulillah. An example of this is at the lecture at MIST National in the Summer of ‘06 in Houston, TX entitled - Advice from an Older Brother.

One thing I noticed about this talk was that he heavily emphasized learning two fields in Islam that every Muslim should ahve a basic fundamental understanding of, namely, ‘Aqeedah (He said theology, I’m not too comfortable using the word yet) and Fiqh. And he recommended some books and audio lectures that everyone should read or listen to. They are:

‘Aqeedah
Books:
Fundamentals of Tawheed by Bilal Philips
Critical Study of Shirk by Yasir Qadhi

Audio:
The Two Shahadas
[alHuda Books Houston] [Muslim Audio] [ILMQuest]by Yasir Qadhi ($25 is cheapest at alHuda)
Critical Analysis of Shirk [Part 1 Part 2 Part 3] by Yasir Qadhi

Fiqh
Books:Fiqh Made Easy by Saalih alSadlaan
A Summary Of Islamic Jurisprudence by Shaykh Salih Al Fawzan

He also mentioned two books for the Seerah:

He highly recommended the book by Shaykh SafiurRahman Mubarakpuri entitled: The Sealed Nectar. And also the Seerah book by Martin Lings - “Muhammad (SAW): His Life Based on the Earliest Sources”, but mentioned that there are a few points of theology in the book that might be incorrect.

The available audio itself - Pros - I edited all the technical issues that we had and most of the disturbances. Also took out long pauses and breaks or questions about missed information from the call. Cons - No Q&A (read further) and no download for right now. I will post the Q&A later in the week insha’Allah, Make du’aa to Allah. There were about 14 amazing and really juicy (some of them) questions. I have it ready just need time to perfect it a bit more insha’Allah, and possibly post it here. And the download I am holding off on, it will take me a while to get all the files together into a high quality mp3 and also need to get approval from CZ MSA (The best MSA Zone in N. America), isnha’Allah. So just sit tight, and until then just listen to the audio insha’Allah!

Online Resources for Studying the Sciences of Hadith

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

Since we have the Chain of Command: Sciences of Hadith alMaghrib Institute Seminar coming to Houston the last two weekends of June, insha’Allah, I thought I start preparing for it, even though there is that chance I might not be in Houston during that time. I have noticed that if I don’t mentally prepare myself for an alMaghrib class it is hard for me to get the most benefit out of it. due to this I have skipped a few in the past year. Whereas the years before I didn’t skip out on a single one! So I first decided to track down all the online resources available. Most of the audio I have listened to already, what is left is the articles, and e-books, insha’Allah. So the following is the result of my search. If anyone knows of any other articles, posts, links that i should include in here please let me know, insha’Allah. jazakallahu khayran. was Salaam ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullah.

Purification of the Soul between Sunnah and Innovation: Ali atTamimi - Part 5

 

Purification of the Soul between Sunnah and Innovation
Part 5
Transcribed from a lecture by Muhammad AlShareef and Ali At Tamimi
The following is Part 5:Ali At Tamimi

Part 1: 5 Symptoms of the Weakness of Īmān
Part 2: 5 Reasons for the Weakness of Īmān
Part 3: 5 Solutions for the Weakness of Īmān
Part 4: Intro to Innovations in Purification of Soul
Part 5: Innovations in Purification of Soul in Beliefs
Part 6: Innovations in Purification of Soul in Acts of Worship

Innovation in Purification of the Soul in Aspects of Beliefs

First we will look into eemaan and the belief in Allah. When we look in the Qur’aan there is a certain reality about Allah that is mentioned which is explicit. The reality mentioned in the Qur’aan is so explicit that even disbelievers can recognize this. One of these realities is that Allah, the Creator, is distinct from his creatures or the creation.

لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ

“There is none like unto Him”

Surah ashShoorah (42) v. 11


و لم يكن له كفوا أحد

“And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him.”

Surah alIkhlaas (112) V. 4

Allah creates the creation that have the duty to obey Allah and fulfill the role or duty they were created to fulfill. For us human beings and the Jinn it is our duty to obey and worship Him. Yet you find under those people who have been influenced by these thoughts, they have this notion called Wahdat al Wujood, where they believe everything is Allah and there is no distinction between the Creator and creation. That is why a famous personality of theirs, a man by the name of alHallaj went through the streets of Baghdad saying “I am the Truth” meaning that he is Allah. So what did the ulemaa’ of Iraaq do? They gave him the opportunity to repent and his insisting upon that, they executed him and curified him. The city of Baghdad is divided by the Tigris thus there is the Eastern side and the Western side. And they put his body there to crucify on the Western side of the city so that the people on the Eastern side of the city can see the example set for people who espouse such beliefs. The people who followed alHallaj had this notion called Wahdatul Wujood or Oneness of Existence. Some others have this notion of Ittihaad and Hulool. The idea here is that you become or reach a certain spiritual state where you unite with Allah (azz wa ja’al). There is no difference between you and Allah (azz wa ja’al).

As far as we Muslims are concerned we believe that the reason we are created is to worship Allah (Azz wa ja’al), and this is found in the Verses “I have not created the men and the jinn except that they worship me” . They say that you reach this state or status of spiritual ranking called yaqeen or certitude that you are no longer required to worship Allah (Azz wa ja’al). One of them said that “Why should I stand up and perform my prayer, when the Ka’bah comes to me and goes around me.”

We have eemaan concerning the Prophet (SAW). Our belief is that He (SAW) is the messenger of Allah and he is honored with Allah’s revelation but still he is a man. As Allah says in the concluding ayaat of Surah alKahf –

قل إنما أنا بشر مثلكم

“Say “I am only a man like you!””

Surah alKahf (18) V. 110

Therefore we see that the Prophet (SAW) used to fall ill, he used to tire, sleep, statiate his hunger and he died (SAW). There are some who believe that the Prophet (SAW) was created from the light of Allah (SWT) and that is why some of them refer to him as the Shadowless Prophet. They say that he is not a human being rather he is light incarnated.

Regarding the righteous people , we believe that every Muslim has a degree of righteousness towards his faith. And as Allah has explained to us in the Qur’aan about the people who are righteous and he has also mentioned people referred to as awliyaa’. The word awliyaa’ comes from yali which means to be near to something. Awliyaa’ are those who are near to Allah (Azz wa ja’al), therefore every believer has a degree of nearness to Allah (Azz wa ja’al). That is why Allah when He describes the Awliyaa’, He says that they are those who have no fear from the hereafter nor do they have sadness from leaving this world. All believers have this faith and taqwa to a certain degree, thus all believer who have this faith and taqwaa are the awliyaa’. They aren’t a special class of people with superpowers. Some of them believe that the awliyaa have this system of power where at the top is the Gawth or the Qutub of the system, who is at the apex of the system. And he is to be prayed to and underneath him are 4 other awliyaa’ who represent the four corners of the earth. They haven’t proved their gepgraphy of the world, the earth being round and so forth. And under these four are seven and under the seven are forty and each village having one. And all of these awliyaa’ meet yearly at Ghaar al Hira, the Cave of Hira, and they have their meeting and talk about the affairs of the muslims. This is their superstitious belief of the awliyaa. One time at the Masjid an Nabwee we across some farmers from Sa’eed in Upper Egypt and these are simple people but as many of the rural people in the Islamic world they had beliefs and practices that oppose the Islamic Beliefs. And one of them made du’aa to the Prophet (SAW) asking for a need. And one of the Brothers with us started talking to this man and told him that you should always direct all your acts of worship towards Allah. And the man got really mad and he said that the world is divided into four parts, and each part has an Imam and since we are in the Hijaz where there is Makkah and Medina, we make du’aa to the Prophet (SAW), when we are in Egypt it is Badawi, and in Shaam it is Ibn ‘Arabi, and in Iraaq it is Abdul Qadir al Jeelaanee. So I asked him I am from America who is responsible for my part of the world and he didn’t know the answer, but the point is these are corruptions in beliefs. And another time a similar incident occurred where the brothers in Medina after our Halaqa at the Masjid anNabwee we were walking towards the grave of the Prophet (SAW) to send salaam upon Him (SAW) and we met a Turkish brother who inquired about us because we were wearing Arab clothes and speaking in English. We talked to the Brother and told him that we are students at the University and he asked about what they were learning, and he asked about this book I was carrying. I explained to him that it was a book of beliefs of a muslim that he should make du’aa to only Allah. And the man was shocked and said that he just came from the Grave of the Prophet (SAW) and asked him for forgiveness. So I said to them that these brothers with me used to be Christians and I asked them who did you used to pray to before you become muslim, and they said they prayed to Jesus, and I asked the man what is the difference between you and them. So these are examples of corruption in the belief.

Likewise concerning Paradise and Hell, we are taught in the Qur’aan and the du’aas of the Prophet (SAW) to seek Paradise and seek protection from the Fire of Hell. And once a Bedouin comes to the Prophet (SAW) and tells him that I can not say these big du’aas which you and Mu’aadh say. So the Prophet (SAW) asked him what he makes du’aa or and he tells the Prophet (SAW) that he asks for Jannah and protection from fire, and the Prophet (SAW) said to him that this is what all their du’aas are regarding.

We believe that Shaytaan is an unbeliever and Firawn as well. Some of them say that Firawn was a true believer because he said ”I am your Lord most High” . This is because they say that Firawn understood the concept of Wahdatul Wujood or the Oneness of Existence. They even went as far as to say that Firawn understood tawheed better than Moosa (AS).

Finland Commemorates Ahmed Deedat with a Stamp

asSalaam ‘alaykum wa Rahamtullah,

This might be some very old news but it was the first time I saw this. I got it from my uncle’s inbox. Masha’allah, Ahmed Deedat (May allah Have Mercy On his soul) was one of the most popular da’ees of his times in Comparitive religion. He stood out amongst other da’ees of his time due to his ability to quote and recall references nto only from the Qur’an and hadith literature but also the Bible. I believe he is the initiator of the da’wah or the manner of da’wah that Zakir Naik and others practice today.

And surprisingly Finland! Yes Finland out of all the European and Muslim and African (he was established in South Africa, it was Finland that decided to commemorate this man with a stamp. Well here it is:
