Gardens Of Knowledge

This is a talk from 2013 in Dammāj, when we were under siege. This talk was part of a conference that was organised whilst we were defending ourselves from the oppression of the Rāfidha. A great takeaway from this conference was that seeking knowledge continues regardless of the situation and that you have to make the time for it, even when on the front line defending yourself. Both the shaykh giving the lecture and the translator were killed during the attacks and we ask Allāh that He bestows His mercy upon them and that He honours them with shahādah. I feel as those it is a duty upon me that I share the khayr that our Shaykh Kamāl and our brother Abu Mu’āwiyah Mustafa put forward. Very fond memories of the two and till today I remember the last encounter I had with them both.

Striving in the virtuous days of Dhul Hijjah

Reminder: From sunset today, those who intend to offer the udhiyah should refrain from that which was covered in the above post.

In addition to that which our shaykh mentions, it is also legislated to carry out the takbīr from the beginning of the month due to the statement of Allāh ﷻ لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنَافِعَ لَهُمْ وَيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُومَاتٍ  That they may witness benefits for themselves and mention the name of Allah on known days… (22:28) The scholars of tafsīr explain the known days to be the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.

Questions regarding the takbīr by our Shaykh Abdullah Al-Iryānī حفظه الله

﷽ We have opened a group chat for anyone tuning into the lessons and would like to ask any questions, raise any points etc. To join the group chat follow the link 👇🏾 https://t.me/+t9iKDp0v4rliOThk

﷽ Reminder: As was announced last night, there will be no lesson tonight in shā Allāh. All late night lessons will be paused until the week after Eid in shā Allāh. Not to forget: The lesson with our brother Abū Ibrāhīm Fahad will be streamed on this channel tomorrow at 4pm in shā Allāh.

﷽ Friday 27/11/44 - 16/06/23 Reminder: With Dhul Hijjah starting either on Monday or Tuesday (depending on the sighting of the crescent), we would like to remind those who intend to do the udhiyah (offering sacrifice)to carry out the sunan of the fitrah before the month enters. This is because they will not be able to do so once the month enters until the day of Eid Al-Adhā once the udhiyah has been offered. The sunan of the fitrah being referenced here are: 1: Clipping nails 2: Removing hairs from the body (armpit hairs, pubic hairs and moustache) In addition to this, getting a haircut. This is due to the hadīth of Umm Salamah, the mother of the believers (may Allāh be pleased with her) that the messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‏ "‏ إِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْعَشْرُ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلاَ يَمَسَّ مِنْ شَعَرِهِ وَبَشَرِهِ شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏ “When any one of you intending to sacrifice the animal enters in the month (of Dhu'l-Hijja) he should not get his hair or nails touched (cut)”. (Muslim, 1977) And in a another narration reported by Muslim with a slightly different wording: ‏ "‏ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ هِلاَلَ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَأَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يُضَحِّيَ فَلْيُمْسِكْ عَنْ شَعْرِهِ وَأَظْفَارِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ May Allāh allow us to reach these blessed days, the best days in the dunyā and may He make us from those who He frees from the fire during that period.

Benefit: If you do end up reading that book, then know that from the names mentioned that are said to be the names of the prophet ﷺ only the ones in this pdf are. The others are descriptions of the prophet ﷺ

This is the book I was referring to at the end.
