Press Release: Advice to the Youth of Ahlus Sunnah

Advice to the Youth of Ahlus Sunnah

By Sheikh Ibrahim Ar-Ruhayle (hafithahullah)

Translated by Abu Azzubayr Shadeed Muhammad (hafithahullah)

Al-hamdulilah, All praise belongs to Allah subhana wa ta'ala, this is our first publication, and it's now ready for sale.

Shiekh Ibrahim Ar Ruhaylee (May Allah preserve him) who is a professor at the Islamic University and teacher at the Prophets Masjid in Al Madinah, in this unique and concise piece of advice expounds on some of the obstacles that is facing the Da'wah tus Salafiyah today. He directs his advice to the youth from Ahlus Sunnah and the students of knowledge from them who, in their zealousness and enthusiasm for the religion, have fallen into many mistakes due to their lack of understanding some very intricate matters and important principals of the religion. Issues relating to boycotting, refutations, Tabd'ee (i.e.considering someone to be an innovator), Takfeer (i.e. to consider a Muslim to be a disbeliever), how to deal with those who oppose the Minhaj of Ahlus Sunnah and others. The shiekh brings current examples, all of which, the communities in the west bear witness to. This particular path has turned many people away from following the Minhaj of Ahlus Sunnah and has caused discord and separation in many communities. In conclusion, the shiekh leaves the reader with some precious jewels of encouragement directed towards those who were victims of these mistakes and removes the restricted and negative outlook that many may have about the Minhaj of Ahlus Sunnah and the Da'wah tus Salafiyah based upon the inappropriate actions of a few from amongst them. Many of the well known scholars have praised and thanked the shiekh for this effort and we ask Allah Azza wa Jal to place it in his scales of good on the Day where no wealth or children will be of any avail except those who come to Him with a pure heart.

Book Review: Various Shurooh (Explanations) of al-Aajuroomiyyah

In this book review I want to present some of the various Shurooh (Explanations of the Scholars) of the Arabic text "al-Aajuroomiyyah" written by al-Imaam Aboo 'Abdillah Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Daawud as-Sanhaajee (rahimahullah) known as Ibn Aajuroom who was born in 672 A.H. and died in 723 A.H. While there are many explanations of this text I will only focus on four that I have in my personal library.

شَرْحُ الآجْرُومِيَّة

(Front cover of Book)

The first Sharh is "Sharh-ul-Ajroomiyyah" given by ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Saalih al-'Uthaymeen (rahimahullah). This explanation was a live recorded lesson that the Shaykh gave and was transcribed into book form to benefit those who want to study the written text. In various Arabic bookstores in the Muslim world you can find the CD and MP3 version of this Sharh for sale. I saw a Word Document version of it available online but I cannot remember where. If I find the link to it I will post it on my E-Snips page inshaAllah.

(Inside of Book)

The copy I have is a four hundred and thirty eight page hardcover published by Daar-ul-Hareeree. The book begins with an introduction and brief biography of Ibn Aajuroom and Shaykh al-'Uthaymeen as well as the method the transcribers used to compile the book (may Allah reward them). After that the book goes into the Shaykh's explanation.

The Shaykh explains the text in a simple manner and then reviews each section with questions to test how much has been absorbed. Shaykh Uthaymeen's knowledge of Arabic grammar is vast as he explains the most detailed and intricate portions of the text in a manner that very few today can explain. He constantly uses verses of the Quraan and texts of the Ahadeeth as well as Arabic poetry to illustrate each grammar point.

The font in this book is great and makes for easy studying. I also liked the manner in which the book was sectioned after each Baab (Section). It also contains a nice reference page along with an index section.

التُّحْفَةُ السَّنِيَّةُ بِشَرْحِ المُقَدِّمَةِ الآجرُومِيَّة

(Front cover of Book)

The second book is “at-Tuhfah-us-Saneeyah bi-Sharh-il-Muqaddimat-il-Aajuroomiyyah” by the well known Egyptian Scholar of an-Nahw ash-Shaykh al-‘Alaamah Muhammad Muhyee-ud-Deen ‘Abdul-Hameed (rahimahullah). Allah willing I am going to translate a biography of him soon and post it on my main Blog. This is a written explanation of the text that includes Questions and Exercises after every lesson.

You can find the book in hardcover or paperback and is published by various printing companies in the Muslim world. I also have it available on my E-Snips page in an MS Word document.

(Inside of Book)

The author begins his introduction with humility and gratitude to Allah saying after the Basmalah: “All praise is for Allah and He is sufficient over everything and peace be upon His Servants whom He has chosen. This is an explanation to clarify the text, a clear manual, a ripe fruit, small enough to carry, filled with many questions and exercises, I intended to obtain nearness to Allah Most High in facilitating the understanding of the introductory text of al-Aajuroomiyyah for the beginning students of knowledge as it is the gateway into understanding the Arabic language and it was the language of our Sayeed and Mawlaa the Messenger of Allah, peace & blessings of Allah be upon him and upon his family and companions, and it is the language of the Mighty Book. I hope that I am deserving of Allah’s pleasure the Mighty & Majestic as He is the best that I strive for. Our Lord You we trust, to You we repent, to You is the final destination, Our Lord Forgive me and my parents and all of the believing men and women on the day when the reckoning will be established.”

الحُلُلُ الذَّهَبِيَّةُ عَلَى التُّحْفَة السَّنِيَّة

(Front cover of Book)

This precious work is study notes to ash-Shaykh al-‘Alaamah Muhammad Muhyee-ud-Deen ‘Abdul-Hameed’s “at-Tuhfat-us-Saneeyah” written by Muhammad as-Sagheer bin Qaaid Ahmad al-‘Abdalee al-Maqtaree and in which ash-Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullah) said in the introduction on page eight: “As for the student who becomes strong in the grammar of the Arabic language then the rest of the Islamic sciences will be easy for him with the permission of Allah, so the good deed that was carried out by the brother Muhammad bin Qaaid is a beneficial one, some of its topics have been read to me whereas I found it will benefit the beginner of Arabic and the advanced student of Arabic will find it indispensable.”

(Inside of Book)

This book comes in either hardcover or in a paperback cover. It is published by Daar-ul-Athaar, Sana’a Yemen and is 288 pages. The book begins with an introduction from Shaykh Muqbil and then the author’s two introductions which include the method he used to add notes to the text of “at-Tuhfah”. He also includes a very beneficial summary concerning what the People of Knowledge said concerning the study of Arabic grammar and an-Nahw. The rest of the text is “at-Tuhfah” but with notes to all of the sentences and words found within the book’s Questions and Exercises. There is also a Quran and Subject index for quick reference.

الكَوَاكِبُ الدُّرِّيَّة شَرْح عَلَى مُتَمِّمَةِ الآجرُومِيَّة

(Front cover of Book)

The last book is “al-Kawaakib-ud-Durriyyah” which is an explanation of “Mutammimat-ul-Aajuroomiyyah”. The Mutammimah is an expounded version of al-Aajuroomiyyah written by ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Muhammad ar-Ra’eenee known as al-Hattaab (rahimahullah) whose family was from Morocco and who was born in Makka in 902 A.H. and died in Tripoli in 954 A.H. It contains brief points on the text of al-Aajuroomiyyah with examples of the terminology. I have posted it on my E-Snips page for those interested in studying it.

(Inside of Book)

The Kawaakib is the explanation to al-Hattaab’s text and was written by the Faqih the Muhaddith ash-Shaykh Muhammad bin Ahmad bin –Abdil-Baaree al-Ahdal (rahimahullah) who was born in Yemen in the year 1241 A.H. and died in 1298 A.H. He also wrote beneficial notes to Ibn Hishaam’s Qatar-un-Nadaa known as “Haashiyyah ‘alaa al-Qatar fee an-Nahw”. He states the following as the reason for his explanation: “So when I saw the necessity to unravel the complexities of the grammatical points contained in the aforementioned book and its additional notes I busied myself with explaining it so as to benefit the beginner and as something indispensable for the advanced student…so I named it al-Kawaakib-ud-Durriyyah Sharh Mutammimat-il-Aajuroomiyyah.”

This two volume Sharh was published by Daar-ul-Kitaab al-‘Arabee and is condensed into one volume. The type is pretty small but the information is unrelenting. Grammatical point after grammatical point is explained with references to the Quraan, Ahadeeth and Arabic poetry. For those of you who toiled over Madeenah Book Three the Kawaakib is not for the weak at heart. May Allah grant us Tawfeeq in mastering the Arabic language.

Press Release: A Gift For The Intellects In Explanation Of The Three Fundamental Principles Of Islaam

"A Gift For The Intellects In Explanation Of The Three Fundamental Principles Of Islaam"

Authored byShaikhul-Islaam Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab (rahimahullah) (Died 1206 AH)

Explained by Shaikhul-’Allaamah‘Ubaid Al-Jaabiree (hafithahullah)

Quote from the Book:

{The author said: "Knowledge of the religion Islaam with the proofs." So this sentence is highlighting a principle that the scholars have derived from the Book and Sunnah; and that principle is: The base rule for all acts of worship is that they are impermissible unless there is a text to support them. Devoutness, worship and seeking to draw closer to Allaah have to be based upon clear authentic texts. Independent scholarly opinion has no place in affirming any act of worship; rather, the proof has to be from the Book, Sunnah or the unanimous agreement of the Salaf (Rightly Guided Predecessors) that Allaah ordered that particular act. It is reported upon 'Ali ibn Abu Taalib, may Allaah be pleased with him, that he said: "If the religion was based on the intellect, then the bottom of the leather sock would be more deserving to be wiped than the top [in ablution]." Moreover, all the scholars agree, whether it be the four Imaams or anyone else, that the religion is built upon proof. Imaam Maalik used to say at the end of his lessons: "All speech can be accepted or rejected, except for the speech of the inhabitant of that grave." And he was referring to the Prophet, peace and blessing of Allaah be upon. }

Book Review: 3 Beneficial Treatises that warn against as-Soofiyyah (Sufism)

Upon my move from Texas to Georgia, I was shocked at the amount of Muslims who have fallen into the innovations of the Sufis and the terrible influence that they have left on the people here. (Back home in Texas the Ikhwaan-ul-Muslimeen control many of the Masaajid and run the Administrations so I am more used to their politics, voting, demonstrations, etc. C'mon even the extreme Soofi Tableeghis in Texas demonstrate!)

Aside from the three Salafee Masaajid (Masjid ‘Ibaad-ur-Rahmaan in Marrietta, Masjid-at-Tawheed in Stone Mountain, and Masjid Abee Bakr as-Sadeeq in Decatur) every Masjid you walk into here has some level of Sufi influence to it, whether in the form of group Dhikr immediately after prayer or flyers announcing group celebrations of the Prophet’s (may the peace & blessings of Allah be upon him) Birthday or even hearing people praise their Sufi Shaykh and Tareeqah!

The Scholars and Students of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jama’aah have taken great means to clarify our Religion to us and to put every issue in its proper place. And from that means and clarity are lectures and written works that they have given and written in order to warn the Muslims from the People of Innovation.

I am reviewing three beneficial treatises that cover the very topic of Tasawwuf:

حَقِيْقَةُ الصُّو فِيَّةِ فِي ضَوْءِ الكِتَابِ وَ السُّنَّةِ

{The Realities of as-Soofiyyah in light of the Quraan and the Sunnah}

A transcribed lecture by Dr. Muhammad bin Rabee Haadee al-Madkhalee (hafithahullah) who is a teacher in the Islamic University of Madeenah, K.S.A brings together a very beneficial overview of as-Soofiyyah and the Sufi Ideology and how it contradicts the Book & the Sunnah.

(Inside of the Booklet)

The original Arabic pamphlet is forty-eight pages and was printed by Maktabah ‘Abdul-Musawwir Muhammad ‘Abdillah in ‘Ayn Shams, Cairo, Egypt.

This booklet has been translated into English and you can download the PDF version of it by Clicking Here.

حَقِيْقَةُ التَّصَوُّفِ وَ مَوْقِفُ الصُّوفِيَّةِ مِنْ أُصُولِ العِبَادَةِ وَ الدِّيْنِ

{The Realities of at-Tasawwuf and the position of the Sufi Ideology compared to the Usool (Fundamentals) of 'Ibaadah (Worship) and the Deen (Religion)}

This treatise was written by Dr. Saalih bin Fawzaan al-Fawzaan (hafithahullah), one of the Major Scholars of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a forty page treatise that brilliantly deals with the Sharee’ah understanding of ‘Ibaadah (Worship) and the Sufi Ideology of ‘Ibaadah.

(Inside of the Booklet)

The Shaykh gives an introduction along with six guidelines for worship to be considered correct based solely from the Quran and the Sunnah. He then brings the reality of Tasawwuf to the forefront and lists the position of this ideology in comparison to the Usool of ‘Ibaadah and Deen.

Our brother Aboo Maryam Isma’eel (hafithahullah) has translated a portion of the Introduction and first chapter on his site, you can read it by Clicking Here.

(Index of the Booklet)

إِعْصَارُ التَّوْحِيْدِ يَحْطِمُ وَثَنَ الصُّوفِيَّةِ

{The Cyclone of Tawheed destroys the Idolatry of Sufism}

Written by his Eminence, ash-Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin Baaz (rahimahullah) and printed by Daar-ul-Qaasim, this beautiful booklet actually outlines the various Sufi Tareeqah’s and what they believe in. My favorite chapter is where Shaykh Bin Baaz shows the direct relation between the Ideology of Sufism and that of the Shee’ah!

(Inside of the Booklet)

This booklet also contains a Fawtaa section from the Shaykh & Permanent Committee refuting Sufism by way of questions presented to them concerning innovated practices that the Muslims have presently fallen into.

I ask Allah that my dear friend Anwar Dupuis (hafithahullah) completes the translation of this noble work and I ask Allah to have mercy upon the noble Shaykh (rahimahullah) for writing this.

You can purchase all three of these treatises from the brothers of SalafiLibrary.com

Book Review: 40 Hadeeth to teach the Arabic Language

أَرْبَعُونَ حَدِيْثًا لِتَعْلِيْمِ اللُّغَةِ العَرَبِيَّةِ وَ التَّرْبِيَّةِ النَّبَوِيَّةِ

{40 Hadeeth to teach the Arabic Language and the Prophetic Methodology}

By: Dr. Fouad ‘Abdur-RaheemPublished by: UK Islamic AcademyPages: 356, hardback

First I would like to thank my dear brother Aboo Dhikr ‘Abdus-Shakoor (al-Hujjah Publications) and his wife Umm Kutubah (Umm Kutubah’s Salafee Books) (hafithahumaallah) for sending me a free copy of this extremely beneficial book, may Allah reward them for their generosity and may He increase them in Knowledge, Guidance and Sustenance.

Dr. Fouad ‘Abdur-Raheem (hafithahullah) put together the three Madeenah Books and the Musatweeyaat program (the 4 Levels taught to obtain the Arabic diploma) that is used to teach the Arabic language at the Islamic University of Madeenah, K.S.A. This book is based on that curriculum in its own hardcover binding.

(Pages from Level One)

It is broken into two levels; the first level consists of twenty short Ahadeeth along with an explanation of the words that occur in the prophetic narrations. These Ahadeeth are meant to be memorized and the language kept simple to facilitate a good understanding of what is studied.

(Pages from Level Two)

The second level consists of twenty detailed texts used to further knowledge of an-Nahw, Sarf and comprehension of the Ahadeeth used.

Brothers and sisters you HAVE to get this book, it is beautiful, I love it and I can’t put it down! May Allah reward Dr. Fouad for this tremendous work and grant him the highest place in the Jannah for his efforts.

Book Review: The Pillars of Islam & Iman (Spanish Version)

أَرْكَانُ الإسْلاَمِ وَ الإيْمَانِ

“Los Pilares del Islam y el Iman”

This is the Spanish translation of ash-Shaykh Jameel Zeeno’s (hafithahullah): Arkaan-ul-Islaam wal-Imaan wa Maa Yajibu An Ya’rifahu Kulla Muslimin ‘an Deenihi {The Pillars of Islaam and Imaan and what is obligatory for every Muslim to know about his Religion}.

It was published by Daar-us-Salaam Publications and translated by Brother Muhammad ‘Issa Garcia (hafithahullah) an Argentinean Salafee who graduated from Umm-ul-Quraa in Makkah, K.S.A from the Faculty of Da’waa.

The book is hardcover consisting of 254 pages and is translated in a simple Spanish style that is not too Castilian or too Latin America. I haven’t had the opportunity to read the entire book but from what I did dabble in, this translation is going to be considered a classical must have for every new Spanish speaking Muslim. I advise all of the Masaajid to stock up on this one.

Book Review: at-Tuhfah al-Bahiyyah (An Explanation of al-Aajuroomiyyah)

التُّحْفَةُ البَهِيَّةُ بِشَرْحِ المُقَدِّمَةِ الآجُرُومِيَّةِ

{The Illuminating Masterpiece in explaining the Introductory texts of al-Aajuroomiyyah}

By: Dr. ‘Abdul-Hameed Hindaawee
Published by: Daar-ul-Kutub al-‘Ilmiyyah
Pages: 144 in paperback form

This is a very beneficial explanation written in a modern style for those who are new to the text of al-Aajuroomiyyah or for those who need a more visual presentation of the basic rules of an-Nahw.

The author begins with a brief introduction and then using the style of ash-Shaykh Muhammad Muhyee-ud-Deen’s at-Tuhfah as-Saniyyah (the Precious Masterpiece), he explains the linguistic meaning of an-Nahw.

(Text of al-Aajuroomiyyah after introduction)

After this preparatory introduction he includes a magnificent bold font version of the complete text of al-Aajuroomiyyah. It is easy on the eye and makes for easier memorization. I have included the first page of the text above.

(Inside of book)

Completing this text version is a wonderful explanation of al-Aajuroomiyyah, expressed in a manner in which even the beginning student of Arabic who is gaining fluency in the language can understand. The author brilliantly uses tables and charts to reinforce review of each lesson in addition to Q&A that covers the explanation to see how much one has retained at the end of the lesson. What I really enjoy in this book is the author’s usage of text from the Quraan and Ahadeeth to illustrate the grammar rules.

(Index of Book)

The only complaint I had was that the font used for the Index was very small and hard for me to read, others may not have that problem. I have posted the index below so you be the judge.

I purchased this book from Fadak Books and while they do have some books that I do not recommend, some of the books of Ahl-us-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah are listed. The prices are reasonable as well.

Book Review: The Khawaarij & their Recurring Ideologies

By: Shaykh ‘Abdul-Muhsin Ibn Naasir Aali-‘Ubaykaan
Translated by: Abu as-Zubayr Harrison
Published by: Tarbiyyah Bookstore Publishing & Distribution
Pages: 240 in paperback form

This book actually consists of two separate treatises one entitled: The Khawaarij & their Recurring Ideologies and the other being: The Islaamic Views Concerning: Terrorism, Bombings, Hijackings, & Other Modern-Day Crimes written by Shaykh ‘Abdul-Muhsin Aali-‘Ubaykaan (hafithahullah) known to be from the People of Knowledge in Saudi Arabia and of those who staunchly oppose the ideology of the modern-day Khawaarij.

The book was translated by my brother and dear friend Aboo az-Zubayr Abdur-Rahmaan Harrison al-Amreekee (baaraka Allahu feehi), a former student of the Islamic University of Muhammad Ibn Saud in Riyaadh, KSA. I was asked by the Maktabah at-Tarbiyyah to translate Appendix III: The One Who Kills Himself is Not Considered a Martyr (A Refutation of the Statements of the Ruwaybidhah Ibn Laadin) which is a section of the book {ad-Daamighatu limaqaalaatil-Maariqti du’aatut-Takfeeri wat-Tafjeeri Raddun ‘alaar-Ruwaybidhati Bin Laadin wa marji’iyyatit-Takfeeri: The Irrefutable Argument concerning the heretic doctrine of the callers to at-Takfeer (declaring believing Muslims as disbelievers) and at-Tafjeer (bombings).} written by the noble Shaykh Muhammad Moosa ibn ‘Abdillah ‘Alee ‘Abdil-‘Azeez (hafithahullah) which makes up pages 221 to 229.

Book Review: al-Waajibaat-ul-Mutahattamaat-ul-Ma'rifah 'alaa Kulli Muslim wa Muslimah

الوَاجِبَةُ المُتَحَتَّمَاتُ المَعْرِفَة عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُسْلِمَةٍ

This is a very concise yet beneficial compilation of the various important points that every Muslim should know about thier Religion. It was compiled by ash-Shaykh Abdullah bin Ibraaheem bin Uthmaan al-Qar'aawee referencing all of the texts of Shaykh-ul-Islaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab (rahimahullah). I would translate the title as:

{The Neccessary Obligations of Knowledge that every Muslim Man and Female should know}

Now that is just a rough translation, I am sure others could render it better but as the title indicates this booklet focuses on every thing we should know concerning the fundamentals of our belief. It is thirty nine pages which includes the introduction by the compiler and an index.

I purchased my copy from a yemeni brother's Islamic bookstore in Dallas for like only $1.50. That was very cheap considering that most of the books that he had in the bookstore never sold because they were so expensive! I remember him having a deep hatred for Shaykh Muqbil (rahimahullah) and he used to make fun of the Shaykh, at any rate he had a whole bunch of booklets like this one on sale so I used to pull them off the shelf and go through each booklet, sometimes spending $30.00 dollars on thirty booklets of this type. You can really find some treasures by the Ulamaa in these bookstores, you just have to keep your eyes peeled.

I have included the index below to illustrate the contents of this enormous booklet. It may be small in size but it is without a doubt large in meaning! I have not run into anyone selling this book on thier site but if you ask the noble brothers at Salafi Library (hafithahumullah) about it, I am sure they can locate it for you.

The copy I own has print that is easy on my bad eyes, and while the vowel signs are not on all of the words, the Quranic verses are beautifully voweled. This book should be purchased and memorized once you get it.

Welcome to Aboo Imraan's Book Reviews Section!

Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh,

This section of my blog will contain reviews of books in Arabic, English and Spanish. I want to use this section primarily as a source for sharing information about the various Arabic books that the seekers of knowledge should be buying so that when they have mastered Arabic they can begin thier studies in the vast sea of literary works that the Scholars of Islaam have produced.

For those brothers and sisters who already read Arabic then I hope this section will still benefit you by keeping you abreast of the latest books that are available to study from.

With the rise of Latinos who are accepting Islaam, I will also be posting Spanish translations of authentic books that the Salafee Masaajid should be buying and giving to these new Muslims. May Allah guide them and us and keep all of us established on this Religion.

On a final note, in an effort to show support and unity of the various Salafee Book Publishers that are emerging here in the States and abroad I will showcase press releases of the latest books that have been translated and that are available for purchase.

I welcome all comments to these posts and I ask that all of you make Dua'a for me and my family, the one in need of Allah, your brother in Islaam,
Aboo Imraan Abdus-Saboor bin Tomas bin Victor bin Emeterio Maldonado al-Mekseekee
