It is also reported that he referred to Shaykh Muhammad as 'my khaleefah' (sucessor). Shaykh Ahmed an-Najmi(rahimahullaah) called him Al-Aalim al-Jaleel (great scholar). This event will be broadcast LIVE in Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, two masaajid in Trinidad, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and six masaajid in the U.S. Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masjid Nur Allaah, New York, Masjid as-Sahabah, Ohio and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.
This lecture event will be translated LIVE into English by Hisham Abouzeid InshaaAllaah.
Abu Hurayrah (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrated that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,
“There shall soon be a Fitnah (trial and tribulation): the one who sits in that time is better than the one who stands, and the one who stands is better than the one who walks, and the one who walks is better than the one who hastens to it. And the closer you get to it, the closer it would get to you. Therefore, whoever is able to seek refuge in a shelter, let him do it.” [Bukhari #3602, Muslim #6886]
According to Shaykh Ibn Baaz (rahimahullaah), “The temptations that are meant in this hadeeth are the ones that are vague and ambiguous, and the way of truth in them is unknown; rather it is mixed up. Such are the temptations which the believer is advised to abstain from and stay far away from it with whatever way necessary.”
Additionally, Hudhayfah Ibn al-Yamaan (radhiyAllaahu 'anhu) said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah(sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) say,
“Trials and Tribulations will be presented to the hearts just like as a reed mat is interwoven, stick by stick. Any heart which absorbs these trials will have a black mark put in it. However, any heart that rejects them will have a white mark put in it. The result is that hearts will be of (one of) two kinds: one white like a white stone, which will not be harmed by trials as long as the heavens and earth endure; and the other dark and rusty, like an over-turned vessel, not able to recognize the good, nor reject evil, but rather being absorbed with its desires.”
According to Imaam Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah), "The fitan (trials) which are presented to the hearts - and which are the cause of its weakness - are the trials relating to shahwah (false desire) and the trials relating toshubhah (doubt). So the first causes intentions and desires to be corrupted, whilst the second causes knowledge and beliefs to be corrupted.”
In this deranged time, fitan seems to be coming to the believer from all directions and in order to safeguard our hearts we must stick to the deen of Allaah and the sunnah of His Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) as much as we are able and not delve into matters in which we are not qualified to engage in.
Our Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdul Wahhab al-Wasaabee (hafidhahullaah) will present us with the many proofs from the book and the sunnah pertaining to this crucial topic as we are all in dire need of learning about the means by which we can escape these fitan and preserve our Deen.
We ask Allaah to keep our feet firm upon the Straight Path and we seek refuge in Him from ever deviating from it.
