In this video by Shaykh Yasir illustrates the biography of Abdullah Ibn Abbas RA. Lees meer
We are enamored by the information that we get about the blessing that Abdullah Ibn Abbas RA received from Prophet Muhammad SAW right at his birth - Haneeq- and the specialty was that it was done with the saliva of the Prophet SAW itself which was the ultimate barakah hat he could have received.
Abdullah Ibn Abbas RA is also said to have seen Jibreel AS twice though not in his original form. The privilege in question of seeing the angel in his true form was only granted to the Prophet ﷺ.
The Prophet ﷺ would often pray to Allah regarding Abdullah RA that, "O Lord, make him acquire a deep understanding of the religion of Islam and instruct him in the meaning and interpretation of things." He repeated this dua for him more often than not and with the barakah of his dua, Abdullah Ibn Abbas RA did become a beacon of light in the pursuit of knowledge.
Abdullah RA narrated the incident, "Once the Prophet ﷺ was on the point of performing wudu. I hurried to get water ready for him. He was pleased with what I was doing. As he was about to begin salah, he indicated that I should stand at his side. However, I stood behind him. When the salah was finished, he turned to me and said, 'What prevented you from being at my side, O 'Abdullah?' 'You are too illustrious and too great in my eyes for me to stand side by side with you,' I replied. Raising his hands to the heavens, the Prophet then prayed, 'O Lord, grant him wisdom.'
We also are acquainted with the dedication of Abdullah Ibn Abbas RA when he is sent by his father to learn salaah Tahajjud from the Prophet ﷺ in his house at night. For a detailed account, please do listen intently so that we are deeply humbled and grateful as to how this enthusiasm and zeal of Abdullah Ibn Abbas has benefited us immensely.

Christian Muslim Dialogue Pt.1
29 januari 2017 · 1 uur 56 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi discuss the differences between Islam and Christianity regarding theology and beliefs and the things that makes us wonderful as religions of Islam and Christianity. Also, how our communities will get along amicably is also the foundation of this discussion. Lees meer
Firstly, the misconceptions regarding Interfaith families is addressed suitably. There are many other things beside theology that form the crux of one’s faith. The key is fruitful dialogue with passionate disagreement that can resolve long standing issues.We can remove the fear, distrust, hatred and suspicion in our hearts to begin building bridges between the two religions.
The speaker addresses a big issue amongst Christians - the biggest knowlege of Islam comes from channels for the Christians and it is important to understand what Islam is and what is its foundation. Shaykh Yasir makes us understand that it is important to bond with a Muslim and visit mosques to fully fathom the true basis of Islam.
The originality of the Qur'an and the scriptures of the Christians are the next topic on which light is shed. The element of human nature is completely absent in the Qur'an as it is the Words of Allah to us. But that is not the case of the scriptures of Christians. Only the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ has been preserved in various books called Hadiths. Also, Islamic history has also been recorded by humans. But the Qur'an is only the Words of Allah sent down via Angel Jibreel AS to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to be communicated to mankind.

Injustice And Transgression Of Rulers
9 januari 2017 · 43 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi delves into the most pertinent topic affecting us in recent times which is the injustice and transgression meted out to the innocent people by the leaders or rulers and what should be our modus operandi to dissolve the sufferings of the oppressed. Lees meer
Injustice or Dhulm will never go unchecked and Allah will take into account the injustice that was meted out in this world and justice will be served. The Sunnah is full of warning against Dhulm and almost 120 verses mention Dhulm in the Qur'an simultaneously citing the punishment for the oppressors and transgressors.
The greatest Dhulm done by mankind is associating partners with Allah or indulging in Shirk.
Indulging in transgression will be met with the darknesses of anger, punishment and being deprived of Jannah.
May Allah have mercy on the Ummah and may all the sufferings in this world cease to exist.

In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges more details on the military genius that was Khalid Ibn Al Waleed RA, also known as Sword of Allah (Saifullah) and his contribution in the major battles. Lees meer
Another controversy relating to Khalid RA that is highlighted that happened after the death of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during the time of Abu Bakr As Siddiq RA. This is in connection with the killing of Maalik ibn Nuwayrah and the subsequent marriage to his wife, Layla .

The next topic that is touched base on is the Battle of Yarmouk that took place under the leadership of Khalid Ibn Al Waleed RA although Abu Ubaidah RA was the chieftain. Khalid RA had been demoted from his leadership domain after the death of Abu Bakr RA and the succession of Umar Ibn Al Khattab RA. This battle was magnanimous in its stature and showcased the military prowess of Khalid RA to its maximum potential and it resulted in the attainment of more than 30% of the land under the Byzantine empire.
On his deathbed, Khalid Al-Walid’s old friend visited him which is when Khalid began to show his battle scars to him. Khalid then questioned his friend, “All of these scars of wounds and yet I am not dead from the battlefield. Why could I not have died in battle?” Khalid’s friend then replied, “When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ named you Saifullah, Sword of Allah, he predetermined that you would not fall in battle. If you had been killed by an unbeliever it would have meant that Allah’s sword had been broken by an enemy of Allah; and that could never be.”
Listen intently as we witness the greatness of this exemplary warrior, Khalid Ibn Al Waleed RA.

3 december 2016 · 1 uur 15 min
This video takes us on an enlightening journey highlighting the biography, lineage and family of Khalid ibn al-Waleed ibn al-Mughirah of Banu Makhzum tribe . Lees meer
Al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah who was the father of Khalid ibn al-Waleed, was a renowned poet and amongst the richest people in Makkah. He is also credited with the name - Waheed because of his magnanimous act of paying the expenses for the replacement of the Ka'ba every alternate year.
In spite of all these positive traits, he had no respect and regard for the religion of Islam and always remained arrogant. He had also challenged the decision of sending the Quran to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in spite of he being the most influential member of the Quraysh. Allah had then revealed verses from Surah Zukhruf [31:32] that answered his allegation - And they said: “Why is not this Quran sent down to some great man [in terms of dignity and wealth] of the two towns (Mecca and Taif)?” Is it they who would portion out the Mercy of your Lord [regarding the Divine appointment of Muhammad to prophethood]? It is We Who portion out [between them] their livelihood in this world [let alone the exalted rank of prophethood] and We raised some of them above others in ranks so that some may employ others in their work. But the Mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.
More such details are divulged in various parts of the video regarding the father of Khalid Ibn Waleed.
We also gather valuable information of the skills of Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed RA and how he was blessed to have been given elite training in matters of war. He had fought major battles alongside the Prophet ﷺ except Battle of Badr (reasons disclosed in this video). The Battle of the Trench was the last of Khalid's battles.

Giving Thanks And Being Grateful To Allah
29 november 2016 · 35 min
Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi implores us to fully comprehend the concept and benefits of being grateful to Allah at all times. Lees meer
Allah has reminded us to be conscious of Allah at all times as the blessings of Allah can never be fully enumerated. One of the purposes of our existence is the purpose of being forever grateful to Allah SWT.
The concepts of Shukr and Kufr are explicitly explained for us to fully comprehend. Shukr is at the top of the pyramid of Iman. The greatest ingratitude is to turn away from Allah and that is the greatest Kufr. Hence, Shukr and Kufr are antonyms of each other.
How do we do Shukr? There are a number of pillars in this :
Maintaining humility. Shukr necessitates humility.
To act upon the blessings in a manner befitting to please Allah.
To mention the blessings of Allah via humility and the right audience to share your blessings.Rewards:
The Pleasure of Allah will be upon us.
Allah will lift the punishment from us.
Allah gives you more if you are thankful to Allah. -
Lives Of The Sahaba 43 - Saeed Ibn Zayd
17 november 2016 · 1 uur 5 min
In this video, Shaykh Yasir divulges numerous details about the life and times of Saeed Ibn Zayd RA. Lees meer
Saeed ibn Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nufayl RA was the son of an excellent individual named Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nufayl. He was the nephew of Al Khattab, the father of Umar RA.The reason for the respect that is binding upon him is his absolute detest for idolatry and his inability to fathom the reason for the irrelevant customs and traditions that were being followed by the Quraysh.
Once, while leaning against the Kabah, it is reported that Zaid Ibn Amr shouted:"O people of Quraysh! It is God Who has created the sheep. He it is Who has sent down rain from the skies of which they drink and He has caused fodder to grow from the earth with which they are fed. Then even so you slaughter them in names other than His. Indeed, I see that you are an ignorant folk."
Saeed ibn Zaid RA, hence, without an iota of doubt, had the roots of his father deeply embedded into him and it came as no surprise when he accepted Islam wholeheartedly.
Said ibn Zayd RA was relentless in his love and devotion for Islam and participated in all major battles, conquests and campaigns barring battle of Badr. Details on this can be gathered when we listen to Shaykh Yasir revealing them at great length in this talk above.
An excellent saying by the great sahaba is that he says, "Let me report you something that I heard from the Prophet: The Messenger of Allah said, 'If a person seizes a land that does not belong to him, that land will be wrapped around his neck on the Day of Judgment even if he is under the seventh floor of the earth. A person who dies for his property is regarded as a martyr.'
For more such beautiful Hadith, do listen to the above talk intently and come out enlightened immensely.

Muslims In Trumps America
11 november 2016 · 48 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves on the 7 points of reflection on the election of Trump: Lees meer
Humility - Our knowledge is so limited that nobody saw it coming and hence, we should exhibit humility.don't be so arrogant of what we know, as only Allah is the All Knowing.
Shock - We felt numb when the news came to the fore. We have to believe that Allah knows what we don't know. Only Allah knows what the future holds.
Hindsight - Looking back, we should analyse the mistakes that we committed.
Hypocrisy - pointing at Muslims on our values regarding women when they are clearly hypocritical in this regard.
Fear - The fear of Islamophobia is rampant on our minds ever since Trump has come into power. But we have to turn to Allah with strong Iman and Aqeedah in our hearts.
Action - We should now understand the importance of community activism more than ever.
Hope - we need to re instill undying faith in Allah that nothing will happen to us except that which Allah has willed for us. -
Reclaiming Jihad From The Radicals
7 november 2016 · 1 uur
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi address the elephant in the room which is the difficulty in navigating challenges and struggles on a daily basis for the Muslim Ummah. The reason for this is the radicals which include extremist groups who have been angered by the transgressions of the political superpowers who have jeopardized our religion and its pureness and have made the word Jihad a word marred with doubts, terror and destruction. Lees meer
Jihad in Islam translates to the types of struggles we discover and overcome to attain proximity to Allah. When the circumstances dictate necessity, a 'jihad' is physical, and at any given time, one must indulge in a spiritual 'jihad' against one's lower self.
Hence, to overcome this xenophobia and Islamophobia, we need to have renewed commitment and faith to uphold our religion and to commit ourselves to the Call of Allah, the teachings of the Prophet ﷺ, the Qur'an and similar aspects.

Lives Of The Sahaba 42 - Abu Ubaidah Amer Ibn Al-Jarrah
4 november 2016 · 1 uur 14 min
In this video, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges explicit details on the life and times of Abu Ubaidah ibn al-Jarrah or commonly called Abū ‘Ubaydah ‘Āmir ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn al-Jarāḥ. Lees meer
This great Sahaba who is amongst the Ashara Mubashara was an embodiment of humility, integrity, honesty and modesty. But this was in sharp contrast to his personality on the battlefield where he displayed immense strength, valour and bravery.
An interesting anecdote is shared by the Shaykh that illustrates this very aspect during the battle of Uhud. Abu Ubaidah RA had to part with his two front teeth which came as a result of the piercing of the Prophet ﷺ blessed head due to his own helmet. Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah was unable to stand and witness this misery and hence, after seeking permission from the Prophet ﷺ to be allowed to do the honour of relieving him of his pain.
The life of Abu Ubaidah saw him in the wake of an intense test of his commitment for Islam at the battle of Badr . it was almost incomprehensible as to how this could ever be achieved if not for the utter love for Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW. Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah was face to face with his own father who was making every possible attempt to attack the Prophet ﷺ which shocked him no end. Nevertheless, he kept his faith strong and annihilated his father without any remorse or regret only for the sake of the Prophet ﷺ.
When Abu Ubaidah was in Jabyia he became severely ill due to plague and was almost on his deathbed, he advised his army the following - “Let me give you some advice, which will cause you to be on the path of goodness always. "Establish Prayer, fast in the month of Ramadan, give charity, perform the Hajj and Umrah, remain united and support one another, be sincere to your commanders and do not conceal anything from them. Don't let the world destroy you for, even if man were to live a thousand years, he would still end up with this state that you see me in. Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah."

He was a military genius which is clearly demonstrated in his leadership acumen in conquering the Sassanid Empire with a display of immense skill and prowess. His command in The Battle of Qadisiyyah and in the conquest of Persian empire displayed a force to reckon with.
Allah has revealed a verse highlighting the firm resolve of Saad RA in the wake of his mother’s rage towards her son for having accepted Islam. It is hence revealed: "But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not ." [Surat Luqman: 15]
When the Prophet ﷺ saw Sa'd RA giving a firm fight in the Battle of Uhud, he praised him, "Throw O Sa'd! May my mother and father be sacrificed for you!" . The Messenger of Allah SAW made Dua for him …

Domestic Violence And How To Deal With It
25 oktober 2016 · 37 min
Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi addresses the topic of domestic violence which is prevalent and rampant in all sects of society. He delves on matters related to the position of the Qur'an and Sunnah when it comes to prohibition of violence against women, the types of abuse (physical, emotional) women have to deal with and what should be one’s stance in the wake of being the subject of domestic violence. Lees meer
Islam in no way supports this un-Islamic and toxic practice and if anyone resorts to this demeaning act, it is only because of defects in his behaviour and not because of religion.
A'ishah RA said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ never struck a servant of his with his hand, nor did he ever hit a woman. He never hit anything with his hand, except for when he was fighting Jihad in the cause of Allah.”
Treat your wives with kindness. The Shariah does not condone the abuse of wives. In light of the ideal man who is the Prophet ﷺ, we should imbibe and inculcate the Hadiths given to us and stand firm on the teachings of Qur'an and Sunnah.
The final Khutbah made by the Prophet ﷺ addresses women :
“O People, it is true that you have certain rights with regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives only under Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with any one of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.”

Modern Challenges

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi takes on the topic of conflicting challenges faced by the modern generation and the generation of our parents or the previous generations. Lees meer
Being Muslims, we should adopt the approach of understanding our society around us and not just focus our energy on building our own community. Of course, it is a necessity but it should be done in a balanced way such that we lay equal emphasis on our role in the framework of the huge nation that we are a part of.
Who is voicing the concerns or the troubles faced by the Muslim ummah? The past supporters of Islam did provide us with quintessential support to the best of their ability. But today,where are the influential Muslim voices? The youth of our Islam religion should step up and realise their role in the upliftment of Islam and confront their fears while reminding themselves of their large part to play as a part of the population of this nation.
The flourishing of Islam is also because of our previous generation and we should be always proud of that culture and the efforts that went into the realisation of their dreams.

Abu Ubaidah Aamir bin Abdullah bin Al-JarrahThe Prophet ﷺ said about Talha:“He, who desires to see a martyr walking on the ground, let him look at Talha bin Ubaidullah.” [Mishkat, Ibn Hisham]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once wore two coats of armor and tried to get up on a boulder, but was unable to. so Talha squatted under him, lifting the Prophet such that he could sit on the boulder. Allah was so pleased with Talha’s help and the Prophet informed Talha that Paradise was now obligatory on him. He came to be known as “Talha the Generous” and “Talha the Good” for his generosity.

Happiness in Marriage

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges on details pertaining to the blessings of marriage and the key factors that help in its sustainability. Lees meer
Each spouse finds Sakeenah through the other spouse. Each completes the other. In Surah 30, Verse 21 of Surah ar-Rum, Allah tells us that he regards the creation of spouses - the husband and wife - as a sign of His greatness. Not only has Allah created these individuals, but He himself has placed love and mercy between them so that they can live a life of tranquility, peace and harmony.
Both husband and wife need mutual respect and love, care and understanding. The husband has the right to attain respect from his wife in exchange for love and adoration towards the wife. We should submit to Allah and be just and balanced in all our relationships.
The Prophet ﷺ was the role model for husbands on how to treat wives and not once in his life did he subject his wives to domestic abuse or violence. A Hadith by him reasserts this very fact where he says that the one who abuses his wife is not among the best Muslims.

As we dive into the final video on Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi packs in various Hadith and sayings of this great Khalifa of Islam and also details are shared on the death of Ali RA. Lees meer
Although Ali enjoyed the staunch support of his people,Alī RA authority was weakened during the last two years of his Khilafat. A number of prominent Muslims even met in Adrūh with the thought of deposing both Alī and Muʿāwiyah and appointing Abdullāh as the next Khalifa.
The Khārijites had made plans for the assassination of Alī, Muʿāwiyah, and ʿAmr ibn al-ʿAṣ. This decision was met with success as Ali RA was struck in the back of the head with a poisoned sword while praying in the Masjid of Kufa. He died two days later and was buried in Al-Najaf.
We are also made to understand various Hadiths with regards to Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA:
Narrated by Abu Hazim:
A man came to Sahl bin Sad and said, "This is so-and-so," meaning the Governor of Medina, "He is calling 'Ali bad names near the pulpit." Sahl asked, "What is he saying?" He (i.e. the man) replied, "He calls him (i.e. 'Ali) Abu Turab." Sahl laughed and said, "By Allah, none but the Prophet called him by this name and no name was dearer to 'Ali than this." So I asked Sahl to tell me more, saying, "O Abu 'Abbas! How (was this name given to 'Ali)?" Sahl said, "'Ali went to Fatima and then came out and slept in the Mosque. The Prophet asked Fatima, "Where is your cousin?" She said, "In the Mosque." The Prophet went to him and found that his (i.e. Ali's) covering sheet had slipped of his back and dust had soiled his back. The Prophet started wiping the dust off his back and said twice, "Get up! O Abu Turab (i.e. O. man with the dust)."
Narrated by Ubaida:
Ali said (to the people of 'Iraq), "Judge as you used to judge, for I hate differences (and I do my best ) till the people unite as one group, or I die as my companions have died." And narrated Sad that the Prophet said to 'Ali, "Will you not be pleased from this that yo…

In this video, Shaykh Dr. Yasir Qadhi unravels details about the Kharijite group, their interactions & tensions with Ali Ibn Abi Talib RA and the statements made by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding this particular group of people. Lees meer
The Messenger of Allah said: They kill the Muslims and spare the idolaters. If I live to see them I will kill them like the killing of (the people of ‘Aad). [Bukhari and Muslim]
Ibn Taymiyyah writes:
The Kharijite sect was the first to declare Muslims to be unbelievers because of their sins. They charged as unbelievers whoever disagreed with their innovations and they made lawful the spilling of blood and the taking of wealth. This is the condition of the people of innovation, that they invent some religious innovation and then they excommunicate whoever disagrees with them concerning it. Rather, the people of the Sunnah and the community follow the Book and the Sunnah and they obey Allah and His Messenger and follow the truth. They have mercy upon the creation.
Source: Majmū’ al-Fatāwá 1/278
The Khawarij revolted against the authority of Ali RA after he agreed to arbitration with Muawiyah I, to decide the succession to the Khilafat following the Battle of Siffin. The Khawarij opposed arbitration as a means to choose a new ruler on the grounds that "judgement belongs to Allah alone". They considered arbitration a means for people to make decision while the victorious was determined by Allah. A Khariji later assassinated Ali RA.

The Battle of Siffin took place between Ali RA, the fourth of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and Muawiyah bin Abu Sufyan RA, the governor of Damascus, who opposed the caliphate of Ali RA. The Battle took place in Siffin- east of ar-Raqqa in the basin of Euphrates.
The warring parties camped themselves at Siffin for more than 100 days alternating between negotiations due to lack of interest in fighting.Then due to failure of compliance between the armies, a war was waged for three days between the Iraqis under Ashtar's command and the Qurrā', in Ali's RA army.Ali RA boasted of an army of 80,000 men, including 70 Companions who participated in the Battle of Badr, 70 Companions who took oath at Hudaibiya, and 400 prominent Ansars and Muhajirin while Muawiyah had a fleet of 120,000 Syrians.
This battle finally culminated in the legendary appearance of Muʿāwiyah’s troops with copies of the Qurān on their weapons as an indication to let God’s word decide the conflict. ʿAlī agreed to bring the matter to arbitration on the basis of the Qurʾān and delegated Abū Mūsā al-Ashʿarī as his representative, while Muʿāwiyah sent ʿAmr ibn al-ʿĀṣ.

The Battle of the Camel or Battle of Jamal took place at Basra, Iraq between allies to Ali RA -Ali and Harith ibn Rab'i and the allies to Aisha RA - Talha ibn Ubaydullah, Zubayr ibn al-Awwam
And Marwan ibn al-Hakam. The bone of contention arose from the fact that Aisha RA opposed Ali's status as Khalifa on the basis that he had not tried to find out the culprit behind the assassination of Uthman Ibn Affan RA.
The battle procures its name from the camel ridden by Aisha RA. Ali RA blamed Aisha RA due to the aftermath of the warfare and asked her brother - Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr to take her to Basra where she stayed for a few days before heading to Medina.

Based on Shaykh al Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi elaborates explicitly about the ten factors that save Muslims from Jahannam or Hell Fire. Lees meer
These are as follows:
Tawbah - If one feels guilty he needs to make Tawbah. Allah created us so that we can make Tawbah and appeal to His Mercy. The one who makes Tawbah is as if he has never committed the sin.
Istighfaar - This is a verbal manifestation of the Tawbah. Allah keeps forgiving those who keep asking Him for forgiveness.
Good Deeds - Good deeds expiate evil deeds.
Du’a and Istighfaar of other believers.
Calamities, trials, tribulations, grief and anguish - If we exhibit Sabr in the wake of trials and tribulations, we earn forgiveness in the Hereafter.
Punishment of the Grave - The punishment of the grave will act as Kaffara for us and we will be saved eventually.
Punishments of the Day of Judgment - For some Muslims, the suffering of the Day Of Judgment will be an expiation.
Good deeds gifted to the deceased by the living
The intercession of the Prophet ﷺ - Whoever gets it will go to Jannah. The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever makes the Du’a after Adhan is bound to get his attention.
Allah’s Mercy on the Day of Judgment. -

Standing Firm On Our Principles
9 augustus 2016 · 28 min
Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves deeply into the concept of standing firm on the principles of Islam - primarily, equality. Lees meer
When the elite of the Quraysh requested for a change in the clause of Islam which was to get rid of Bilal RA, Ibn Masud RA, Suhaib Ibn Roomi RA and other non Arabs from the sitting in which the elites would be housed, they cited a possible chance of accepting of Islam by the elites like Mutim Ibn Adi.
A discussion ensued in Dar Al Arqam. Should a compromise be put into place for this principle clause? What was the outcome at this gathering? Listen intently to discover the happenings there.
The pomp and arrogance of the elites could not win over the heart of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the piety of the ordinary people. The Prophet ﷺ openly declared that His Lord, Allah SWT has said that he will be amongst the wrongdoers if he obliges to this clause thus, outright rejecting the elites.

Medina Bombing Incident

Shaykh Dr Yasir Qadhi acquaints us with his state of mind regarding the horrific bombing incident near Masjid an Nabawi in Medina in the month of Ramadan and on the last of the odd nights. He is in a state of shock as to how someone could indulge in a demeaning act of such lowness and words fail him.He is appalled at the state of mind of the bomber who had the audacity to attempt to harm the city of Madinah which is the city of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Lees meer
Madinah is the city that Allah chose for the Prophet ﷺ to do Hijra, to plant the tree of Islam, the forbearer of the Revelations of Allah and much more. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Madinah is sacred between the two mounts of Ayr and Thawr. Whoever causes any deviation or helps any deviation shall incur the curse of Allah, and the curse of the angels, and the curse of all of mankind! Not a single obligatory or nafl good deed shall be accepted of him."
The Shaykh begs Allah to protect the people of Madinah and to protect the Ummah from such misdeeds and straying away from the pure religion of Islam. He asks of Allah to guide everyone to the ultimate truth of Islam and stay clear of deviation and remain steadfast in this quest of not straying ever. Aameen.

The name occurs 3 times in the Qur'an and comes from the word Wahaba, which means to give (as gift) to somebody else something you own and without wanting anything back in return. Al-Wahhab gives and continuously gives what is His to us from His Generosity.
Since Allah is Al Wahhab, He gives without asking. What happens when we actually ask Allah? Shaykh Yasir Qadhi answers.
A Halal Dua is responded in 3 ways:
What we ask is given to us.
What we ask, Allah stalls it since it was not beneficial at the time or to save us from a disaster.
Allah grants us an even better gift on Yawm Al Qiyamah.Thus, the Name of Allah Al Wahhab should be invoked to achieve the greatest and highest of everything because it will release spiritual and family blessings.

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi delves on the Name of Allah which is Al Afuww. This means that Allah overlooks and neglects a sin committed by us as if it never took place and overlooks it as if it never happened. Lees meer
Al Afuww is mentioned 5 times in the Qur'an. Allah being Al Afuww necessitates our deepest gratitude and thanks to Allah.
The best example of exhibition of Afuww is seen in the story of the slander of Aisha RA. Abu Bakr RA, her father had a relative by the name of Mistah bin Uthatha who was being helped by Abu Bakr RA in terms of monetary relief. But he was the prime candidate involved in this demeaning act against his daughter. When Abu Bakr RA heard of this, he was dejected and resorted to cutting off all ties with him in every way.
But Allah SWT revealed verses of Surah Nur relieving her from the accusation and in verse 22 of Surah Noor Allah revealed: ‘And let not those among you who are blessed with graces and wealth swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kinsmen, Al-Masakin (the poor), and those who left their homes for Allah’s Cause. Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allah should forgive you? And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.’
