AL-MĪRĀTH | THE HERITAGE

🚨 (O Preachers and Callers) The callers to the innovation of celebrating the Prophet’s birthday have mobilized themselves and rallied around this innovation. So, show Allah goodness from yourselves by denouncing it and explaining that disagreement concerning it is not acceptable. Rather, it is darkness upon darkness: it begins with innovation, then progresses to major shirk, along with lustful sins such as reprehensible mixing [between men and women] and other such matters. Warn people, and warn them again and again, so that Allah may guide through your efforts whomever He wills. Warn even in communities that are generally safe from it—such as Saudi Arabia—as a means of prevention and protection, for prevention is better than cure. Your families in Saudi Arabia see the world rushing toward it, so do not assume that they are immune from being influenced by it or becoming lenient toward it. O preacher: Do not miss the opportunity tomorrow to warn against this innovation. O Muslims: Increase the circulation of the lessons, clips, books, and articles of the people of the Sunnah that denounce it. O Allah, grant all Muslims success in adhering to Tawhid and the Sunnah. O Allah, make them steadfast upon them, increase them in guidance, and save them from innovations such as the celebration of the Prophet’s birthday. ✍️ Dr. Abdul 'Azīz bn Rays Ar-Rays Tr.

1. The Claim of “Good Innovation” (Bidʿah Hasanah) Some people argue that celebrating the Mawlid is a “good innovation.” This claim is invalid because matters of religion must be referred back to the Qur’an and Sunnah. The Prophet ﷺ clearly stated that every innovation is misguidance. If an act of worship was not legislated by Allah and His Messenger ﷺ, it is rejected. 2. The Claim That the Prophet ﷺ Attends the Gatherings It is a serious error to believe that the Prophet ﷺ leaves his grave and physically attends Mawlid gatherings. The Prophet ﷺ remains in the life of Barzakh until the Day of Resurrection, while his noble soul is in the highest ranks of Paradise. Allah says: “Then indeed, after that, you will surely die. Then indeed, on the Day of Resurrection, you will be resurrected.” (Al-Mu’minun 23:15–16) The Correct Way to Honor the Prophet ﷺ The Prophet ﷺ is honored by following the guidance that Allah legislated, not by introducing innovations. Innovated Practices (To Be Avoided) Organizing annual birthday celebrations. Gathering to perform exaggerated praises. Supplicating to the Prophet ﷺ for help. Legislated Practices (To Be Followed) Following his Sunnah and obeying his commands. Loving him and giving precedence to his guidance. Sending abundant blessings and peace upon him. Directing all worship and supplication to Allah alone. Sending Blessings Upon the Prophet ﷺ Allah says: “Indeed, Allah sends blessings upon the Prophet, and His angels do so as well. O you who believe, send blessings and peace upon him abundantly.” (Al-Ahzab 33:56) The Prophet ﷺ also said: “Whoever sends one blessing upon me, Allah will send ten blessings upon him.” This is legislated at all times and is especially emphasized: In the final Tashahhud of every prayer. After hearing the Adhan. Throughout the day and night of Friday. Whenever the Prophet ﷺ is mentioned. Conclusion It is obligatory upon every Muslim to beware of innovations and newly introduced practices in the religion. The path of safety lies in adhering to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ upon the understanding of the righteous predecessors. We ask Allah to grant us and all Muslims beneficial knowledge, steadfastness upon the truth, and protection from innovations and misguidance. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all of his Companions. Source: Majmūʿ Fatāwā wa Maqālāt Mutanawwiʿah of Shaykh Ibn Bāz (رحمه الله), Vol. 1, p. 183.

﷽ Summary of the Ruling on Celebrating the Prophet’s Birthday (Mawlid) and Other Anniversaries By His Eminence, Shaykh Imam ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz ibn ʿAbdillāh ibn Bāz (رحمه الله) All praise is due to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his Companions, and those who follow his guidance. The Question and the General Ruling Questions have frequently been raised regarding the ruling on celebrating the birthday of the Prophet ﷺ, standing during such celebrations, offering greetings to him on those occasions, and other related practices. The answer is clear: It is not permissible to celebrate the birthday of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, nor the birthday of anyone else. Such celebrations are from the newly introduced innovations (Bidʿah) in the religion. This is because neither the Prophet ﷺ, nor his Rightly Guided Caliphs, nor his Companions, nor the righteous followers from the best generations practised it. They were the most knowledgeable of the Sunnah, the most complete in their love for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the most diligent in following his legislation. Evidence from the Sunnah The prohibition of these celebrations is established by authentic narrations warning against introducing new matters into the religion: “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours (Islam) that which is not from it, it will be rejected.” (Agreed upon) And his statement ﷺ: “I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs after me. Hold fast to it and cling to it with your molar teeth. Beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance.” Likewise, in the Friday sermon, he ﷺ would say: “To proceed: Indeed, the best speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ. The worst of affairs are newly invented matters, and every innovation is misguidance.” (Narrated by Imam Muslim in his Ṣaḥīḥ) Evidence from the Qur’an Allah commanded obedience to His Messenger ﷺ and warned against opposing him: “And whatever the Messenger gives you, take it; and whatever he forbids you from, refrain from it.” (Al-Hashr 59:7) “So let those beware who oppose his command, lest a trial befall them or a painful punishment afflict them.” (An-Nur 24:63) “There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of Allah an excellent example for whoever hopes in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often.” (Al-Ahzab 33:21) “And the first forerunners among the Muhajirun and the Ansar and those who followed them in righteousness—Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him.” (At-Tawbah 9:100) And Allah, the Most High, said: “This day I have perfected for you your religion, completed My favor upon you, and approved for you Islam as your religion.” (Al-Ma’idah 5:3) The Dangers of Establishing the Mawlid Introducing such celebrations carries several serious dangers: 1. Implying the Religion Is Incomplete Celebrating the Mawlid suggests that Allah did not perfect this religion for the Ummah, or that the Messenger ﷺ failed to convey something that later generations supposedly discovered and introduced. 2. Opening the Door to Other Evils Many of these gatherings involve prohibited matters such as: Free mixing between men and women. The use of musical instruments and singing. Other unlawful practices. 3. Falling into Major Shirk The gravest danger is that many Mawlid gatherings lead to exaggeration regarding the Prophet ﷺ, including: Calling upon him instead of Allah. Seeking relief from him during hardships. Requesting his aid and assistance. Believing he possesses knowledge of the unseen. These are acts of worship that belong solely to Allah. The Prophet ﷺ warned against exaggeration concerning him, saying: “Do not exaggerate in praising me as the Christians exaggerated in praising the son of Mary. I am only a servant, so say: the servant of Allah and His Messenger.” (Narrated by Al-Bukhari) Refuting Common Misconceptions

HERITAGE OF OUR SCHOLARS ​ The Ṣaḥābah The Tābi'ūn and Atbā'ut-Tābi'īn The Four Imams Narrators of Ḥadīth Early scholars Scholars of the Subsequent Generations Contemporary Scholars Knowledge is the inheritance of the Prophets, and its blessing is in passing it on. https://t.me/theheritage019 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDBSYv3mFXy6xrDHh35 https://youtube.com/@theheritage019?si=vuE9n8GN5TVmlPl9

Why do we spread knowledge despite our own shortcomings? Al-Imām Ibn ʿUthaymīn (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Know—may Allah have mercy upon you—that if any one of you attends even a single gathering of knowledge, learns one issue from it, acts upon it, and then teaches it to his brothers, he will attain immense good. The reward for it, and the reward of everyone who acts upon it, will continue to be recorded for him until the Day of Resurrection. Do not think that the virtue of knowledge is attained only by someone who has acquired extensive scholarship. Rather, Allah, the Exalted, will reward every person according to their deeds, even if they are few. 'And they will not be wronged even as much as the speck on a date stone.'

﷽ 🔴 Reminder It is narrated in the two Ṣaḥīḥs that Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه said: «My beloved friend (the Messenger of Allah ﷺ) advised me to observe three practices: to fast three days of every month, to pray two rakʿahs of Duḥā, and to perform the Witr prayer before going to sleep.» It is also reported in Sunan Abī Dāwūd from Qatādah ibn Malḥān al-Qaysī رحمه الله: «The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command us to fast the White Days—the 13th, 14th, and 15th of each lunar month. He said: 'Fasting these days is like fasting for a lifetime.» The Ayyām al-Bīḍ (White Days) for this month begin tomorrow (Sunday) and end on Tuesday. Try your best to observe these fasts, and encourage others to do the same. Also remember that we are currently in the Sacred Month of Allah, al-Muḥarram, and the Prophet ﷺ said: «The best fasting after Ramadan is the fasting in the month of Allah, al-Muḥarram.» Do not let this great opportunity pass you by. بارك الله فيكم 🖊 Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 📌 Reminder: A Great Opportunity Tomorrow Tomorrow, by the permission of Allah, is 'Āshūrā', and it also falls on Thursday. Both fasting on the Day of 'Āshūrā' and fasting on Thursdays are from the Sunnah. Therefore, whoever fasts tomorrow intending both the fast of 'Āshūrā' and the Sunnah fast of Thursday may hope to attain the reward of both, by Allah's permission. ✅ The Prophet ﷺ said regarding 'Āshūrā': "I hope from Allah that it expiates the sins of the previous year." (Reported by Muslim) ✅ And he ﷺ used to fast on Thursdays, and when asked about it, he said: "That is a day on which deeds are presented to the Lord of the worlds, and I love that my deeds be presented while I am fasting." (Reported by An-Nasā'ī and others) So do not miss this blessed opportunity. Fast seeking Allah's reward, renew your intention, and encourage your family and friends to do the same. May Allah accept our fasting, forgive our sins, and grant us steadfastness upon His obedience. آمين 🖊 Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

A reminder to fast Tāsūʿāʾ (the 9th of Muḥarram) and ʿĀshūrāʾ (the 10th of Muḥarram). Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet ﷺ was asked about fasting on the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ, and he said: "Fasting the Day of ʿĀshūrāʾ, I hope from Allah that it will expiate the sins of the previous year." Abdullah bin 'Abbas reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If I live till the next (year), I would definitely observe the fast on the 9th(Muharram). Reported by Muslim This year's Tāsū'ā falls on Wednesday 24th of June, while 'Āshūrā falls on the next day. Try to fast, and remind others. بارك الله فيكم https://t.me/abdullprod
