You Bearded Ones Scare Children: A Bearded Man’s Quick-Witted Response to a Humorous Accusation Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

What Is The Authenticity Of Hadiths Which Relate To The One Visiting The Prophet’s Grave Receiving Intercession? 🎙️Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: كثرة ذكر الله عمل يحبه الله، وكلما زدت في ذكر الله عظم ثوابك، وهنيئًا لمن أكثر من ذكر الله حتى صار لسانه رطبًا من ذكر الله من تتابع الذكر. Frequent remembrance of Allah is an act beloved to Allah, and the more you increase in the remembrance of Allah, the greater your reward becomes. Glad tidings to the one who frequently remembers Allah until his tongue becomes moist with the remembrance of Allah due to continuous dhikr. فعن عبدالله بن بسر رضي الله عنه أن رجلاً قال: يا رسول الله إن شرائع الإسلام قد كثرت علي، فأخبرني بشيء أتشبث به. قال: “لا يزال لسانك رطبًا من ذكر الله.” It is narrated from ʿAbdullāh bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: “O Messenger of Allah, indeed the rulings of Islam have become numerous for me, so tell me something to hold fast to.” He said: “Let your tongue remain moist with the remembrance of Allah.” وعن مالك بن يخامر أن معاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه قال لهم: إن آخر كلام فارقت عليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أن قلت: أي الأعمال أحب إلى الله؟ قال: “أن تموت ولسانك رطب من ذكر الله.” And it is narrated from Mālik bin Yukhamir that Muʿādh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) said to them: “The last words I parted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ were when I said: ‘Which deed is most beloved to Allah?’ He said: ‘That you die while your tongue is moist with the remembrance of Allah.’” وعن عبدالله بن بسر رضي الله عنه قال: جاء أعرابيان إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال أحدهما: يا رسول الله! أي الناس خير؟ قال: “طوبى لمن طال عمره، وحسن عمله.” وقال الآخر: أي العمل خير؟ قال: “أن تفارق الدنيا ولسانك رطب من ذكر الله.” And it is narrated from ʿAbdullāh bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) that two Bedouins came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. One of them said: “O Messenger of Allah! Who are the best of people?” He said: “Glad tidings to the one whose life is long and whose deeds are good.” The other said: “Which deed is the best?” He said: “That you depart from this world while your tongue is moist with the remembrance of Allah.” https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

The Salaf and the Adhan: Elevating Prayer Above All Worldly Affairs Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: علماء أهل السنة بحار علم زاخرة، وأشجار خير مثمرة، وقمم جبال عالية، مارام أحد عبر الزمان انتقاصهم إلا كان منتقصا لنفسه ومسقطا لها، فكيف بكبارهم ممن شهد له الحاضر والباد، وأحيا الله بعلمهم البلاد ونفع به العباد، كالإمام الأصولي الفقيه المتفنن الذي ماتكلم في فن إلا أسر ألباب العالمين به، وعلَّم الجاهلين به الإمام محمد بن صالح بن عثيمين رحمه الله. The scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah are vast seas of knowledge, fruitful trees of goodness, and high mountain peaks. No one who attempts to belittle them throughout time has done anything except belittle themselves and degrade their own soul. So how about their great scholars, those whom both the present and past testify to, and through whose knowledge Allah revived the lands and benefited His servants, such as the jurist and scholar of principles, who never spoke in a field except that he captivated the hearts of the world with it and taught the ignorant, the Imam Muhammad bin Salih al-‘Uthaymīn, may Allah have mercy on him. وعلماء أهل السنة منتقصهم لا يخلو من ثلاثة أحوال And those who belittle the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah are not free from three situations: الأولى أنه يكذب عليهم ويفتري The first is that he lies about them and fabricates falsehoods. والثانية أنه يذمهم بما هو مدح في ميزان الشرع The second is that he criticises them for what is actually praiseworthy in the measure of the Shari’ah. والثالثة أنه جاهل بأقوالهم ويحكم على ما يسمع عنهم لا على أقوالهم وعلمهم The third is that he is ignorant of their statements and judges based on what he hears about them, not on their actual words and knowledge. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: الخوارج الذين يكفرون المسلمين بغير مكفر ويستحلون فيهم السيف ويرون الخروج على الحاكم المسلم بالسيف، أهل شر على أنفسهم وعلى المسلمين حتى في دول الغرب وأمريكا وغيرها، ويشوهون الإسلام بأفعالهم والإسلام من أفعالهم بريء، وإني أكرر دعوتي لكل من تلوث بهذا الفكر أو بشيء منه أن يراجع الحق ويتوب إلى الله منه. The Khawarij, who declare Muslims to be disbelievers without a valid reason for disbelief, deem their blood lawful, and believe in revolting against the Muslim ruler with the sword, are a people of evil upon themselves and upon the Muslims, even in Western countries, America, and elsewhere. They distort Islam through their actions, and Islam is free from their actions. I repeat my call to everyone who has been tainted by this ideology or any part of it to return to the truth and repent to Allah from it. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

Have You Transgressed Against Yourself and Repented? If So, Rejoice in These Two Glad Tidings! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

The Great Affliction of the Mobile Phone: Breaking Free from Its Distractions and Purifying the Heart Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: الأحداث لا تغير الأحكام وليحذر المسلمون من الذين يستغلون ما حدث في سوريا لتحريض الناس على حكامهم المسلمين ولزعزعة الأمن في البلدان المستقرة، من دعاة الثورات، والفرقة القافزة على الأحداث دائما المسماة بجماعة الإخوان المسلمين. The events do not change the rulings, and Muslims should beware of those who exploit what happened in Syria to incite people against their Muslim rulers and to destabilise security in stable countries. This includes the advocates of revolutions and the faction that always jumps on every event, known as the Muslim Brotherhood. المتقرر عند أهل السنة أن الحاكم المسلم الذي لم يظهر منه كفر بواح قام عليه البرهان ولم يحكم العلماء الربانيون بكفره لا يجوز الخروج عليه بالسنان ولا باللسان ولا يجوز تحريض الناس على الخروج عليه تصريحا أو تلميحا. It is established among the people of the Sunnah that the Muslim ruler, who has not shown clear disbelief and against whom the scholars have not ruled as disbelieving, should not be opposed with force or speech, nor is it permissible to incite people to rebel against him, whether explicitly or implicitly. وأما الحاكم الكافر الذي ظهر منه الكفر البواح وحكم العلماء الربانيون بكفره وكان على بلد إسلامي وكان عند المسلمين قدرة على تغييره وقدرة على ضبط الحكم بعده فيجب تغييره. As for the disbelieving ruler, who has shown clear disbelief and the scholars have ruled him as disbelieving, and if he is ruling an Islamic country, and the Muslims have the ability to change him and to maintain the governance after him, then it is obligatory to remove him. أما إذا لم يكن عند المسلمين قدرة على تغييره أو كان عندهم قدرة على تغييره لكن يغلب على ظنهم عدم ضبط الحكم بعده بل تكون هناك فوضى وفتن فيجب عليهم الصبر حتى يحدث الله أمرا فيه الفرج للمؤمنين. However, if the Muslims do not have the ability to change him, or they have the ability but believe that after him, there will be instability in governance, then they should exercise patience until Allah brings about a matter that will relieve the believers. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

The Prophetic Sunnah of Saying ‘I Love You’ to Your Muslim Brother: Learning Love and Noble Character from the Prophet ﷺ Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله: Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: كلما قرأت بعض ما يكتب في وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي من قبل بعض من يقال إنهم طلاب علم تذكرت قول الإمام مالك رحمه الله لفتى من قريش: “يا ابن أخي، تعلم الأدب قبل أن تتعلم العلم.” “Every time I read some of what is written on social media by some of those who are said to be students of knowledge, I remember the statement of Imām Mālik, may Allah have mercy on him, to a young man from Quraysh: ‘O son of my brother, learn manners before you learn knowledge.’” وأيقنت بصواب منهج السلف في عنايتهم بتعليم طلابهم الأدب قبل العلم وتربيتهم على تقوى الله ومراقبة الله والتجرد للحق. “I became more convinced of the correctness of the Salaf’s method in prioritising the teaching of manners to their students before teaching them knowledge, and their focus on cultivating piety and sincerity for the sake of Allah, and adhering to the truth.”

قال الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله: Shaykh Sulayman al-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: أهل السنة ليس عندهم تلون The people of the Sunnah do not have inconsistency. من قديم ونحن نقرر أصل أهل السنة أن الحاكم المسلم المتغلب بالسيف الذي استقر له الأمر يستقر له الحكم، وهذا مدون في كتبنا. Since long ago, we have affirmed the principle of Ahl al-Sunnah that a Muslim ruler who gains authority by force of the sword and establishes stability is considered the legitimate ruler. This is recorded in our books. قال الإمام أحمد رحمه الله: Imam Ahmad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “ومن غلب عليهم بالسيف حتّى صار خليفة وسمّي أمير المؤمنين، فلا يحلّ لأحد يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر أن يبيت ولا يراه إماماً، برّاً كان أو فاجراً.” “Whoever overpowers the people with the sword, becoming the caliph and is named the Commander of the Believers, it is not permissible for anyone who believes in Allah and the Last Day to sleep while not considering him as an imam, whether he is righteous or sinful.” وقال الحافظ ابن حجر رحمه الله: Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajar, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “وقد أجمع الفقهاء على وجوب طاعة السلطان المتغلب والجهاد معه، وأن طاعته خير من الخروج عليه لما في ذلك من حقن الدماء، وتسكين الدهماء.” “The jurists have unanimously agreed on the obligation to obey the overpowering ruler and to engage in jihad under his leadership. Obeying him is better than rebelling against him, as this preserves lives and calms the masses.” ويشترط في هذا أن يكون مسلما عاقلا ويسلم له أهل الحل والعقد. The condition for this is that he must be a Muslim of sound mind, and the people of authority must accept him. https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli

You Are Able to Benefit Muslims from Your Home: Sharing Clips of the Scholars That Transform Lives! Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله

الشيخ سليمان الرحيلي حفظه الله Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said: في الحديث (لا تختصوا ليلة الجمعة بقيام من بين الليالي) In the hadith: “Do not single out the night of Friday with night prayer over the other nights.” فكيف بتخصيص جمعة معينة من السنة بقيام معين لا شك أنه بدعة منكرة So how about specifying a particular Friday of the year for a specific night prayer? There is no doubt that this is an innovation (bid’ah) and something reprehensible. قال النووي “الصلاة المعروفة بصلاة الرغائب وهي ثنتا عشرة ركعة تصلى بين المغرب والعشاء ليلة أول جمعة في رجب وصلاة ليلة نصف شعبان مائة ركعة هاتان الصلاتان بدعتان ومنكران قبيحتان An-Nawawi said: “The prayer known as Salat al-Ragha’ib, which consists of twelve rak’ahs performed between Maghrib and Isha on the first Friday night of Rajab, and the prayer of the night of the middle of Sha’ban, consisting of one hundred rak’ahs—these two prayers are reprehensible and ugly innovations.” https://t.me/PearlsofRuhayli
