Strange New Courses: An Isnad for the Athan!

Follow @AhleDhikr

Question: There is a course where the students will learn the Athan with a chain of narration going back to Bilal (may Allah be Pleased with him), have you heard of this before?

Shaykh Asim al-Quryuti (may Allah Preserve him): No, by Allah - Allah's Aid is Sought.

TN: this is a course which is being offered where people are told that they can learn to call the Athan just like the way Bilal (may Allah be Pleased with him) used to call it but the claims to have a chain of narration back to him are all lies. 

For a detailed response (in Arabic) please read the following article by Shaykh Abd al-Haqq Turkmani where the Shaykh exposes the chain to be full of unknown narrators: https://turkmani.com/articles/248

 

al-Jaami: He Studied Usool at-Thalatha then He Issues His Opinion on People!

Follow @AhleDhikr

 

You have only studied Usool at-Thalatha then you sit in the corner and issue rulings upon people, "Such and such person is a Taghoot", "Such and such person is a Jaahil", "Such and such person is an innovator", "The one who doesn't make Tabdee' is a Mubtadi' himself!" Fataawa that come out of the window and from the corners of the Masaajid and from houses from those who have still not studied anything whatsoever! Have mercy on the people. Rather, have mercy on yourselves. This is a mistake. 

-Shaykh Muhammad Amaan bin Ali al-Jaami (may Allah have Mercy on him), former teacher in the Prophet's Masjid in al-Madinah

لا يجوز للمسلم أن يكره الحياة وييأس فيما عند الله تعالى من فرجٍ وخير، والواجب عليه أن يصبر على ما يلاقيه من أقدار الله.

It is not permitted for a Muslim to hate life and to despair with what is with Allah (the Most High) from relief and goodness. It is obligatory upon him to be patient with what they meet from the Decrees of Allah.

Q: Laying Flowers at the Place of an Incident

Follow @AhleDhikr

 

Question: The customs of the non-Muslims here is that if a person dies at a place of an incident, they leave flowers at the location where he died. Is it for the Muslim to act upon the customs or is this imitating non-Muslims?

Shaykh Sa'd bin Nasir ash-Shathri (Allah Preserve him): Do not do it
