"A person may never slander - which falls under the previous cause (the Apparent Existential Sins). But he may see it and not do Inkār of the Munkar. And that falls under this cause from two avenues... It's the right of a Muslim upon another to defend him if he's being slandered. You're not the one slandering - but you're abstaining from defending your brother. The second avenue is that leaving the defense of your brother is leaving forbidding the evil as well..."
Shaykh Ahmad Musā Jibrīl (حفظه الله تعالى و راعى)

Brothers and sisters must rise to the occasion to defend those slandered, especially their Shuyūkh. Da'wah is pure, but it has proven to be a playground for Juhāl, Husād, decievers, slanderers and gossipers. It's important to constantly check one's sincerity to ensure they don't fall into the latter categories or leave da'wah altogether when faced with the harm that comes with it. May Allah silence the tongues of all those who slander our Shuyūkh, brothers, and sisters in Islam.

Be wise in how you fulfill your obligation of defending your Muslim brothers and sisters, and may Allah make it a means of purification and elevation of ranks for all those who are slandered.

The importance of defending Shuyūkh and Muslims in general against backbiting & slander

Imām Al-Nawawi (رحمه الله) said:

“Note that the one who hears any backbiting about a Muslim should refute it and rebuke the one who says it. If he does not rebuke him in words he should rebuke him by his actions. If he cannot rebuke him by his actions or his words, then he should leave that gathering.

If he hears any backbiting about his Shaykh or anyone else who has a right over him or is one of the righteous and virtuous people, then he should pay even more attention to what we have said.

In the book of al-Tirmidhi we narrated from Abu’l-Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Whoever protects the honour of his brother, Allāh will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” [Al-Tirmidhi]”

Lecture 06 Outline

In defence of our beloved Shaykh (حفظه الله): there are apparently some loose tongued juhhaal who have attempted to slander him but in reality they harm none but themselves.

There are several examples of some who slandered him in the past and today they are openly murtaddeen.

So continue chewing poisonous flesh, soon we will witness the death of your hearts before the death of your bodies because:

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُدَٲفِعُ عَنِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ‌ۗ

"Truly, Allah defends those who believe."

🔹The People of Qur’aan hope for a trade that will never perish🔹

The people of Qur’aan who live with it by their hearts and souls, without desiring to attain by it the vanities of this temporary life – they hope for a trade and a gain that will never perish. Rather Allaah has bore witness to their righteousness. He (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) has said:

"Indeed, those who recite the Book of Allah and establish prayer and spend [in His cause] out of what We have provided them, secretly and publicly, [can] expect a transaction [i.e., profit] that will never perish. That He may give them in full their rewards and increase for them of His bounty. Indeed, He is Forgiving and Appreciative” [al-Faatir: 29-30]

Qataadah (رضي الله عنه) used to say whenever he read this verse: “This is the verse of the Qurraa’ (reciters).” [Tafseer al-Qurtubi (14/345)] – and that is because of what it confirms for them from great recompense and multiplied reward, and they do not take pleasure in just abundant reward, but rather Allaah increases them in honor and virtue.

Al-Qurtubi said: “This increase is intercession in the Hereafter.”

"This Imaan, protecting it, saving it, and preserving it is the duty of every person who recites the Shahadatayn. If it costs you your soul, then let your soul go. If it puts your life on the line, then let it stay on the line. If it increases your sickness till you reach the point of death, it's not a problem. We can starve! We can live in trenches! We can listen the abusive language against us! We can tolerate the taunts! But we will protect our Imaan. We will die, but we will never sell our Imaan. We'll put everything on the line, we'll sacrifice everything, but we will never sacrifice the Tawheed of our Rabb or the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ."

— Shaykh Hafidh 'Abdul Jabbar Shakir (حفظه الله)

May Allah pour upon him patience and make firm his footsteps.

Cut short some of your free time to serve the Deen of Allāh, perhaps Allāh will cut short some time from your standing on The Day of Judgement in return.

Knowledge Is Only Attained by Striving and Learning. It Requires Utmost Effort and Dedication.

By Allah, during the summer the people used to come to me in masses and beg me to teach them Arabic. After I’d agree, they’d appear for the first couple of weeks, then on the fourth week, the majority would disappear. Only a handful of students would remain attending the class. Those who were dedicated and sincere, they’d leave speaking fluent Arabic Fushaa in less than 3 months as well as memorising Al-Baqarah completely. What’s the point of this? The point is, knowledge cannot be attained without patience and dedication. It requires striving, sincerity and time, you cannot attain it overnight. There is no shortcut. Look at those who reached the peak of their fields, they began just as you did and they strove hard. There is no magic formula. It is only those who remain patient and sincerely strives who taste the fruits of their efforts at the end. As for the one who began and gave up, he attained nothing at all, and the little he learnt will slip away from him faster than the blink of an eye because he stopped learning and thought it was sufficient for him.

Arabic is not a hard language to learn at all. However, like anything, it requires patience and hard work.

- Shaykh Musa Jibril حفظه الله

“Do not get the perception that slander and backbiting is only by tongues and lips. It could be by a wink or a gesture, and it only gets worse on Twitter, Facebook and internet forums. Does that count? Yes that does count. Someone might say “but I was disguised by the screen and nobody knew”.

أَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ يَرَىٰ

Knows he not that Allāh does see [what he does]? [Sūrat al-‘Alaq: 14]”

— Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله

Beware of The Day where we will all stand before Allāh and answer for every word that left our lips. Allāh سبحانه وتعالى may forgive us for what’s between us and Him, but what’s between us and the believers will only be forgiven by those who we wronged. May Allāh allow us to either speak good beneficial words or remain silent.

Made by Umm Subhieh, a student of the Shaykh (حفظه الله تعالى و راعى), with the intent of providing all lecture attendees a visual guideline for the progression of Sharh Furū’ Al-Fiqh.

With six lectures in (Allāhumma bārek), it showcases the extensive depth of Furū’ Al-Fiqh, and we’ve only just begun! May Allah facilitate the completion of this series, and preserve our dear Shaykh.

Do not underestimate the power of du’ā!

The noble Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله one time said:

❝If a Jew or a Christian makes du’ā on a Muslim [when a Muslim slanders a Jew/Christian], Allāh Will answer that du’ā, so imagine a Muwāhid! I have the entire globe talking about me, what do you want me to do?❞

Words from a Muwāhid! His silence towards the cowards is what imām ash-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله one time said: ❝it doesn’t benefit the lion to answer the dogs.❞

May Allāh protect the Shaykh and keep him firm upon Tawhīd!

We don't ask Allah for trials, but once they're over, one can't help but miss the sweetness of 'Ibadah that was tasted in their duration. The best reward of being afflicted with difficulty is the unwavering Tawakkul that one develops through it and the Du'aas that escape from the depths of your soul in the dark abyss of the night.

When the dark waves of trials come crashing down on you, don't struggle against them and fight to reach the surface. Accept the decree of your Lord. Dive deeper and find the pearl of contentment and Yaqeen. The waves haven't been sent to destroy you, but rather to force you to dive deeper and find a valuable treasure worth more than the world and everything it contains.

Who is Shaykh Walīd As-Sināni?

A short biography of Shaykh Shaykh Walīd As-Sinānī, we ask Allāh Ta'āla to make it beneficial for the Muslims who look up to him and we ask Him to increase his Thabāt and to hasten his release.

Please remember our young brother Rayyān, the son of our brother and sister, in your Duā in the last third of the night. We ask Allah to cure our little lion, Rayyān, and to ease the pain and heartache of his family, as well as the pain of all the Muslims who are tested with the health of their young ones.
