Manhaj
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
|
We do not have a personal thought except that [it is on the Way] of the Righteous Predecessors - may Allaah be pleased with them all - the followers of the 'Aqeedah of Al-Firqah An-Naajiah (i.e. the Saved Sect), and Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama'ah. We emphasise Tawheed and its implications, rights and strongest bonds, as well as confronting all types of Shirk; especially the contemporary [forms of] Shirk, with its Kufr manifestations.

Alliance and Disavowal
By Dr. Wasim Fathullah. "By Allah, if I fasted all day without eating, prayed all night without sleeping, spent all of my wealth in the Path of Allah, died the day I died, but had no love in my heart for those who obey Allah and no hatred in my heart for those who disobey Allah, none of this would benefit me in the least." - 'Abdullah bin 'Umar. The issue of alliance and disavowal (wala’ and bara’) is probably the most important issue of our times when it comes to faith, considering all of its branches, rulings, and implications. And since the Qur’an and authentic Sunnah are our helpers and sources of guidance, it is incumbent upon us to return to them in order to understand the likes of this great concept. I reflected over this great chapter, and I found that it contained the meaning, methodology, and style that fulfill the need of every Muslim today in fully understanding this mighty principle of faith. So, I depended on Allah, and I decided to reflect on and analyze its selected verses to try and derive the major and minor details regarding the issue of wala’ and bara’ therein, especially since it is from the Qur’an that was revealed in Madinah, which is mainly concerned with actively implementing the concepts of the Qur’an revealed in Makkah. |

In Pursuit of Allahs Pleasure
By Dr.Naaha Ibrahim, Asim Abdul Maajid & Essam-ud-Deen Darbaalah. In this book the authors outlined a complete methodology for Islamic work in this day. From Aqeedah to Dawah to Jihad to Khilafah and Taqwa to Sabr, they have explained how all of these parts come together for the sole objective of every Muslim to seek the pleasure of Allah. |
Millat Ibrahim
We present to the English reader, Millat Ibrahim, by the noble Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Maqdisi, May Allah preserve him. Herin, the author draws several parallels between the form of idolatry in the time of the Messenger of Allah salalhu alahi wassalam, and that which the apostate regimes have instituted from fabricated laws and methodologies of falsehood in the lands of the Muslims. |
Beware Of TakfirNote: This book was originally written as a refutation of our beloved brother Shaykh Faisal (May Allah release him) of which he has since repented. Shaykh Abu Hamza had decided not to release this work because shaykh Faisal was under intense pressure from the British government. However, recently there has been a huge prevalence in the number of people making Takfir, therefore we have decided to release this book as a warning against takfir. The release of this book is not to target Shaykh Faisal at all but to challenge the Takfiri mentality which alot of groups in the UK have now adopted. |
Democracy In IslamRecently, a debate between our religiously committed brothers has erupted on the Internet regarding the permissibility of participating in democratic elections in the West. An article entitled “To Vote or Not to Vote” and another entitled “Why Vote, and Who to Vote For?” in particular have raised several points, which we feel are necessary to address as well as certain others related to Democracy and participation in the electoral process in general. In this short address, we will attempt to offer some clarification on the issue with the hope of refuting some claims and correcting some errors of the authors of these articles as well as addressing some of the more common mistakes related to this topic overall. In approaching the topic of Muslims participating in democratic elections, certain introductory points must be made. It is our intention to be very brief in these points as to avoid dwelling upon them and we only mention them for later reference in discussing the core issue of dispute regarding the permissibility of participating in the democratic elections. |
HijrahMuhammad Sa'eed Al Qahtani As Islam is the religion of dignity and authority, it was impossible to think of any Muslim submitting himself to the disbelievers; indeed it is forbidden for a Muslim to go to live amongst them and acknowledge their authority over him, because his presence amongst them would make him feel weak and isolated, and, then he would become docile and apologetic before them. He would first be called upon to approve of them, and then to follow them. But Muslims should be filled with morale and confidence, they should be leaders, not followers. They should hold the reins of power; no power should be above them but that of Allah. Therefore Muslims were forbidden to remain in countries where Islam is of no account, except when they are able to freely practice their religion and to observe it without any impediment, and without any fear that their presence there could damage them in any way. If this is not the case, then they must migrate to a better place where the authority of Islam is of some account. If they refuse to do so, while they are able, then they would have no further claims on this religion. About this Allah has spoken in Surat an-Nisa: |
