Muwahhideen Publications is pleased to facilitate a LIVE telelink lecture with Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Ghalib al-'Umari (May Allaah preserve him) from the mashaayikh of Madinah and a student and companion of many prominent senior scholars, including Shaykhanna 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree and Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Hadi al-Madkhalee (hafidhahumullaah). This lecture event will take place on Sunday 24th February 2013 and 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,
This lecture event will be translated LIVE into English by our brother Hisham Abouzeid, InshaaAllaah.
Allaah says in His Noble Book,
“And strive hard in Allaah's Cause as you ought to strive (with sincerity and with all your efforts that His Name should be superior). He has chosen you (to convey His Message of Islaamic Monotheism to mankind by inviting them to His religion, Islaam), and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship, it is the religion of your father Ibrahim (Abraham) (Islaamic Monotheism). It is He (Allaah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur'aan), that the Messenger (Muhammad sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! So perform As-Salaat (Iqamat-as-Salaat), give Zakaat and hold fast to Allaah [i.e. have confidence in Allaah, and depend upon Him in all your affairs] He is your Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.), what an Exc ellent Maula (Patron, Lord, etc.) and what an Excellent Helper!” [Soorah Al-Hajj :78]
According to Ibn Kathir (rahimahullaah), “And strive hard in Allaah's cause as you ought to strive” means, with your wealth and your tongues and your bodies.
Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrated:
Somebody asked, "O Allaah's Apostle! Who is the best among the people?" Allaah's Apostle replied "A believer who strives his utmost in Allaah's Cause with his life and property." They asked, "Who is next?" He replied, "A believer who stays in one of the mountain paths worshipping Allaah and leaving the people secure from his mischief."
In this struggle, it is imperative that we first strive against our own souls before we can become victorious in any another struggle. As the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
"The Mujaahid is the one who struggles against his own soul in Allaah's obedience." [Tirmidhee who said it was Hasan Saheeh and Al-Albaanee said: 'Its isnaad is good']
“It is vital that a person launches a war against his soul. One which is not haphazard or aimless but rather a firm and determined one in which he uses the weapons of faith (eemaan), sincerity to Allaah (ikhlaas), patience (sabr) and supplication (du'a). He uses them until he is able to overcome this mischievous enemy which is concealed between the two sides of his body [the soul, which commands the evil]. As a result he tames and pacifies it and makes it obedient, humble and submissive to the command of Allaah.”
For this reason we find that Ibn al-Qayyim (rahimahullaah) says: 'Since the jihaad against the enemies of Allaah outwardly (i.e. physically) is a branch of the jihaad of the servant against his own soul for the sake of Allaah...'[“I Want to Fight My Soul So What is The Way?” from SalafiPublications.com]
Our Shaykh Muhammad Ghalib al-‘Umari (hafidhahullaah) will explain to us what it means to truly strive in Allaah’s Cause and by the Permission of Allaah we will all be encouraged to act upon what the Shaykh presents to us from the Book of Allaah, the Sunnah of His Messenger and the statements of Ahlul ‘Ilm.
We ask Allaah to make us from those who yield obediently to Him and sincerely strive in His Cause and that He (Subhaanah) takes our souls at the time when He is most pleased with us.
