As-sunnah As-sahihah

“If for the wife there is harm due to abandonment/lack of sexual intercourse then it is an adequate cause for separation (between the husband and wife) in all cases whether the husband does that intentionally or unintentionally whether he is able or unable, it is like maintenance (food, clothes and shelter) and (probably) even more important.”

-Whoever worships Allāh upon love only then he is a heretic, -Whoever worships Allāh upon fear only then he is a Khārijee, -Whoever worships Allāh upon hope only then he is a Murjī, -& Whoever worships Allāh upon love, fear and hope then he is a Muwaḥḥid believer !!

“If forbidding a prohibited matter (Taghyīr al-Munkar) would lead to something that is even more severely prohibited, then it should not be forbidden; and it is impermissible to do so. For this reason, it is not allowed to denounce an evil with something that is a greater evil. And for this reason, it is forbidden to revolt against the rulers with the sword under the pretext of enjoining good and forbidding evil, because what results from that; such as committing prohibited acts and abandoning obligations, is greater than the evil and sins committed by the rulers themselves. Likewise, if a group of people are upon an innovation or immorality, and forbidding them would lead to a greater harm or evil than what they are already upon, and it is not possible to prevent them nor to achieve an overriding benefit through the prohibition, then they are not to be forbidden.”

“No one should speak without knowledge. Rather, one must beware of those who speak about religious matters without understanding and those who address intellectual matters without insight. Some people, claiming to support religion with their deficient intellects and flawed reasoning, end up doing more harm; their actions have given atheists, the enemies of religion, a reason to criticize. Thus, they neither supported Islām nor defeated its enemies.”

❝The removal of the books from my possession is among the greatest of afflictions.❞

“As for your claim that the interpretation of (al-Qayyūm) is ‘the One who neither leaves His place nor moves,’ this interpretation will not be accepted from you unless it is supported by an authentic narration transmitted from the Rasūl of Allāh ﷺ, or from some of his Ṣaḥābah, or the Tābiʿīn. This is because al-Ḥayy al-Qayyūm does whatever He wills: He moves if He wills, descends if He wills, ascends if He wills; He grasps and lets go, rises and sits if He wills. The distinguishing sign between the living and the dead is movement: every living being moves without exception, and every dead being is unmoving without exception.”

Shaykh-ul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said to me once: يصنع أعدائي بي أنا جنتي وبستاني في صدري أين رحت فهي معي لا تفارقني أنا حبسي خلوة وقتلي شهادة وإخراجي من بلدي سياحة "What can my enemies do to me? My paradise and my garden are in my heart wherever I go. They are with me and never leave me. If I am imprisoned, it is seclusion for worship. If I am killed, it is martyrdom. If they expel me from my land, it is tourism."

Do we have anything that prevents us from victory? I say: We do not have anything that obliges us to victory. Many Muslim rulers are not satisfied to rule by the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger, and many Muslim rulers persecute the believers in Allah and His Messenger, and they find fault with them only for believing in Allah, the Mighty, the Praiseworthy. And many Muslim markets are drunk in wine and women are consumed therein. And many Muslim rulers have open allegiance to the enemies of Allah. So can Allah's victory be for these? Never, these may be more deserving of abandonment than the pure disbelievers; for the disbelievers are disbelievers, but these belong to Islam and they do not believe in Islam in truth, and for that they have cast the Book of Allah behind their backs except whom Allah wills.
