The belief in al-Qadr is obligatory as Allaah stated in several verses of the Glorious Qur'aan:   

 "Verily, We have created all things with Qadr." [Soorah Al-Qamar: 49]

“Al-Qadr is sometimes mentioned with al-Qadaa’ in the same statement; if so then each has a distinct meaning. However, when they are mentioned separately, then either one comprises the other. So when they are stated together, then al-Qadr means that which Allaah has eternally pre-ordained (in due measure) pertaining to His creation. On the other hand, al-Qadaa' means that which Allaah has decreed for His creation from existence, annihilation, or change. In this sense, al-Qadr precedes al-Qadaa' when combined in the same sentence.”[‘Al-Qadaa wal Qadar in Brief’ from Abdurrahman.org]

As is the case with many aspects of ‘Aqeedah, there are sects that have deviated with respect to their belief in the Decree. From them are the Qadariyyah who go to extremes in affirming the actions of the servants, and they say that the servants are the ones who have originated the actions without them being pre-decreed upon them by Allaah. Then there is the Jabariyyah who go to extremes in affirming the Qadr and the Will (mashee'ah) and they deny the actions of the servants. And they say, 'The servant is compelled, he has no free will in his actions. And he is only moved like a feather is moved by the wind, or he is like the dead body in the hands of the washer who turns him, he has no free will.' 

Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah have taken a middle course between these two extremes, as is their habit in all affairs of the Religion. So they have affirmed that the servant has an action, a will and a choice. However, he does not exit with that from the Intention and Will of Allaah.[‘Belief of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah Regarding al Qadr’ from salafitalk.com]

Shaykh Hasan al-‘Alaywah (hafidhahullaah) will enlighten us on the correct belief concerning al-Qadaa wal Qadr according to the Qur’aanand Sunnah with the understanding of our Salaf-us-Saalih and by the Permission of Allaah remove any confusion we might have concerning this matter.

We ask Allaah to grant us beneficial knowledge and make us from those who are balanced; those who neither fall into negligence nor exceed the limits.

Allaah Subhana Wa Ta'alaa says:

Thus We have made you a Wasat nation, that you be witnesses over mankind and the Messenger (Muhammad) (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) be a witness over you. [Baqarah: 143]

Allaah Ta'alaa said:

He has chosen you, and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship: it is the religion of your father Ibraheem. It is He (Allaah) Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (the Qur'aan), that the Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) may be a witness over you and you be witnesses over mankind! (22:78)

Imaam Ahmad reported that Abu Sa`id narrated: Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

Nuh will be called on the Day of Resurrection and will be asked, `Have you conveyed (the Message)' He will say, `Yes.' His people will be summoned and asked, `Has Nuh conveyed (the Message) to you' They will say, `No warner came to us and no one (Prophet) was sent to us.' Nuh will be asked, `Who testifies for you' He will say, `Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) and his Ummah.'

This is why Allaah said:

(Thus We have made you a Wasat nation.)

The Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said; (The Wasat means the `Adl (just). You will be summoned to testify that Nuh has conveyed (his Message), and I will attest to your testimony.)

It is recorded in the two saheehs that Aa'ishah (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhaa) said that some of the Companions asked the wives of the Prophet(sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) about the acts of worship that he performed in private. One of them said, "I will not eat meat,'' another said, "I will not marry women,'' while the third said, "I will not sleep on the bed.'' When the Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) heard this statement, he said,

“What is the matter with some people who said such and such I fast and break the fast, sleep and wake to stand to pray, eat meat, and marry women. He who is not pleased with my sunnah is not of me.”

'Abdullaah Ibn Mas'ood (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) said,

“Follow and do not innovate, for indeed you have been sufficed.” [Reported authentically in Ad-Daarimee (no.211) At-Tabaraanee in Al-Kabeer (no. 8870), Al Bayhaqee (no. 204), Ibn Wadaah in Bid'ah Wan Nahee 'Anhaa (p. 10), and also from Qataadah on (p.11). Also related by Abee Khaythamah in Al Ilm (no. 54). Shaykh Al Albaanee has authenticated the narration in Bid'ah Wan Nahee 'Anhaa]

The sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) is the middle path, between negligence and extremism. It is upon us to follow his perfect example without introducing that which he never authorized.

Our Shaykh Nu'maan al-Watr (hafidhahullaah) will clarify exactly what it means to be upon the middle course and by the Permission ofAllaah cause us to understand the obligation of following that which our Noble Prophet (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) came with.

We ask Allaah to make us from those who are balanced; those who neither fall into negligence nor exceed the limits.

Abu Musaa (radhiyAllaahu ‘anhu) reported:

Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said,

“It is out of reverence to Allaah in respecting an aged Muslim, and the one who commits the Qur’aan to memory and does not exaggerate pronouncing its letters not forgets it after memorizing it, and to respect the just ruler.” [Abu Dawood]

“An aged Muslim here means one who lives a pious life till his old age. The word “Haamil-ul-Qur’aan” translated here as ‘the one who commits the Qur’aan to memory’, who have memorized the complete Qur’aan. That is to say he is not aggressive in putting it into practice and does not take shelter of far-fetched interpretations to justify his own intellectual and religious perversion. This Hadeeth stresses that a pious old man, a Haamil-ul-Qur'aan and a just head of a Muslim government should be respected. Since their respect has been ordained byAllaah, respecting them is in fact revering Allaah.” [Taken from the commentary of the hadeeth in Riyaadh-us-Saaliheen]

Our Noble Shaykh, Muhammad al-Imaam (hafidhahullaah) will expound on this beautiful hadeeth and unlock some of the benefits contained in it; and by the Permission of Allaah we will comprehend the matter and strive to act upon what we learn by honouring those who deserve it.

We ask Allaah, Al-Haqq to guide us to the truth and make us from those who are sincere and humble.

From Abee Sa'eed al-Khudree (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) who said:

“The women said to the Prophet (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam): ‘The men have overtaken you, so make for us a day from yourself.’ So he promised them a day in which to meet them. So he admonished them, and commanded them.” [to the end of the hadeeth] [Related in Saheehul Bukhaaree (1/102)]

In following the perfect example of our Noble Prophet Muhammad (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam), Shaykh Rashaad al-Hubaishi will offer an important piece of advice to our respected sisters in Islaam, specifically to those residing in these western lands of disbelief.

All are encouraged to benefit from the words of our Shaykh as all of us are in dire need of scholarly direction in these perilous times.

We ask Allaah, Al-Haqq to guide us to the truth and make us from those who when they are given, are thankful; when they are tested, are patient; and when they sin, seek forgiveness.

Live Lecture! Shaykh Muhammad al-Imaam: Ascribing to Allaah a Son

Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

Muwahhideen Publications is very pleased to announce a LIVE Tele-lecture with the Noble Shaykh Muhammad Ibn ‘Abdullaah al-Imaam (May Allaah Preserve him) who will lecture to us concerning the blasphemy of the christians in them ascribing to Allaah a son, on Tuesday 25^th December, 2012. The Shaykh supervises Markaz Dar-ul-Hadeeth in Ma'bar, Yemen and is one of the major scholars of our time, May Allaah preserve him. This lecture event will be broadcast LIVE in three Masaajid in Trinidad & Tobago and five Masaajid in the U.S. In Trinidad & Tobago: Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and in the US: Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, and Masjid NurAllaah, New York, and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan.

This session will be translated LIVE into English Inshaa’Allaah.

Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala says in His Noble Book,

 “And they say: “The Most Beneficent (Allaah) has begotten a son (or offspring or children). Indeed you have brought forth (said) a terrible evil thing. Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins. That they ascribe a son (or offspring or children) to the Most Beneficent (Allaah).” [Soorah Maryam: 88-91]

Explaining these powerful verses,

Ibn Jareer reported that Ibn `Abbaas said concerning Allaah's statement,

“Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, that they ascribe a son to the Most Gracious.”

"Verily, the heavens, the earth, the mountains and all creatures - except for humans and Jinns -are frightened by the associating of partners with Allaah. Creation will almost cease existing before the association of partners with Allaah, due to His Greatness."

Ad-Dahhak said, "This means to be split apart into pieces due to the fear of the magnificence of Allaah.''

 `Abdur-Rahmaan Ibn Zayd Ibn Aslam said, "This is due to its anger on behalf of Allaah, the Mighty and Sublime.''

This is a grave and sinister claim of the christians who lie against Allaah and His Messengers by saying Allaahhas taken ‘Eesa Ibn Maryam (‘alayhis salaam) as His son. Obscene is their statement and filthy their belief. Far above is Allaah from that which they attribute to Him. These statements are not befitting for the One Who has no co-equal in His creation; for all of creation return to Him as slaves.

And on this day, the day in which the kuffaar (non-Muslims) commemorate this blasphemy by celebrating, according to them, the birth of ‘Eesaa Ibn Maryam, our Shaykh Muhammad al-Imaam (hafidhahullaah) will explain to us the gravity of this heinous statement of theirs, the extent of its severity and admonish us concerning the correct belief of Muwahhideen (The People of Tawheed) on this topic.

We ask Allaah to correct our belief and guide us to the straight path; the path of those whom He has favoured and not the path of those who have earned His anger or of those who have gone astray.

Weekly Class! Explanation of Sufficiency in Creed (Starting Today!)

Bismillaah wa -Alhamdulillaah wa Salaatu wa Salaam 'alaa Rasulillaah 'amma ba'd

The Noble Shaykh 'Ali ibn Ahmad ar-Razihi (May Allaah Preserve Him), from the mashaayikh of Yemen, and a prominent student of Shaykh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wad'iee the revivor of Yemen (May Allaah have abundant mercy on him), will conduct a LIVE weekly class with Muwahhideen Publications in the explanation of the book, "Sufficiency in Creed" by Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisi. This class will begin on Sunday 23rd December, 2012 and continue every Sunday inshaaAllaah. The Shaykh is a teacher at Dar ul Hadeeth, Ma'bar, Yemen under the supervision of the honourable Shaykh Muhammad al-Imaam (May Allaah preserve him).

This session will also be broadcast in three Masaajid in Trinidad & Tobago and five Masaajid in the U.S. In Trinidad & Tobago: Masjid Ibn 'Abbaas, Tobago, Masjid ul Khaleefah and Masjid us Sunnah, and in the US: Masjid Al-Bukhaari, Florida, Masjid Uthaymeen, New Jersey, Masjid Nur-Allaah, New York, Masjid Ibn 'Abbas, Georgia, and Masjid Tawheed, Michigan

This lecture will be translated LIVE into English by Hisham Abouzeid, inshaaAllaah

The book to be studied is Lum'at-ul-'Itiqaad (Sufficiency in Creed) authored by Imaam Muwaffaq-ud-Deen Abu Muhammad 'Abdullaah ibn Ahmad Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisi (d.620 AH), May Allaah have mercy upon him, from the great scholars of the salaf us saalih (righteous predecessors) of this ummah (nation) from the 6th and 7th century. Ibn al-Jawzee (rahimahullaah) said about him, "Whoever sees him, then it is as if he has seen one of the companions." Also Imaam Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) said, "The saying of Shaykh ul Islaam Muwaffaq-ud-Deen Abu Muhammad 'Abdullaah ibn Ahmad al-Maqdisi, of whom all the groups of Islaam have agreed upon his acceptance, his excellence and his scholarship, except for the jahmiyyah or the mu'tilah..."

In this excellent book the Imaam gathered many of the core issues of 'aqeedah (creed; belief system) that is vital for the survival of any Muslim who wishes to tread the path of the salaf, from the correct belief regarding the names and attributes of Allaah, the proper belief in the Qadr (the decree), to the belief of Ahl Sunnah wal Jama'ah regarding the Sahabah (Companions), and much more.

Our teacher, Shaykh 'Ali ibn Ahmad ar-Razihi (hafidhahullaah) will explain this book for us in a manner that will make it palatable for all levels of Muslims to grasp and benefit inshaaAllaah
