Ahlu-Sunnah Al Islam

Imam Shafi (rh) would go to the grave of Imam Abu Hanifa and would seek barakh from it and would supplicate there if he ever had a need and it would be fulfilled (Manaqib Imam Al Adham Abu Hanfia) A man would go to the grave of The Prophet ﷺ and would ask him to teach if he ever sawy something wrong being done (Shub Al Iman by Bayhaqi 495,3). And Imam Bayhaqi (rh) did not raise any objection to this rather shared even more narrations like this in his book and was showing this as something good. Ibn Taymiyyah about Istighatha in His book against Al Bakri. Sahih Hadith that the Prophet ﷺ prays for his Ummah. Reference Imam Bazzar, Musnad Bazzar (Maktabatul Ulum Wal Hikam: Madinah, 2009), 5:308. Al-Haythamī said in Al-Majma’[9/24]: it was narrated by Al-Bazzār and his narrators are authentic. Al- Suyūṭī also authenticated it in al-Khaṣā’iṣ[2/281].  This is authentic aswell and if they can say O God Relieve...

Abu Shama al-Maqdisi, the teacher of al-Imam an-Nawawi, said that the Mawlid is the greatest of what was innovated!

Ibn Abidin (rh) says one should kiss the thumbs and place them on his eyes after saying ﷺ. After hearing his name in Adhan.

Fatima was the youngest of the daughters of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. She was born before the mission of the Prophet ﷺ when Quraysh were rebuilding the Kabbah, and some people differed about when she was born. Most of them agreed it was before the mission. She was named Fatima because Allah inspired His Messenger to name her that, and also the name of the woman who raised the Prophet ﷺ was also Fatimah. She was the most beloved to the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said: She is a part of me; what distresses her distresses me, and what harms her harms me.   She had three titles: Zahra, Batul (because God set her apart from other women in beauty, virtue, and honor, or due to her devotion to God), and Umm Abiha (because of her love for her father and the way she looked after him).  Scholars such as Al Subki, Ibn Hajar, and others said she was called Al Zahra because she never menstruated. She was a pure, immaculate human houri, who never menstruated nor bled during childbirth. If ...

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Qayyim (RA) said: "A large heart can contain great knowledge just as a large valley can hold a large amount of water; and a small heart can contain knowledge only in proportion to its capacity, just as a small valley holds a small amount of water. The valleys flow according to their size, and hearts receive guidance and knowledge according to their capacity. Just as when the floodwater mixes with the earth and passes over it, it carries with it chaff and foam, so too does guidance and knowledge, when mixed with the hearts, stir up the desires and doubts therein to uproot and remove them. This is like medicine which, when drunk, stirs up the humors (akhlaṭ) of the body, causing the drinker to feel discomfort for a while."

Al-Ṣarṣarī (RA) said also: “Seek reunion with the beloved if he turns away — perhaps, by your noble kindness, he may return. Remain loyal to love in one’s absence,* for the noble is the one who guards secrets when unseen. Do not joke excessively, and be a man of dignity —* much in silence, god-fearing, and refined. Do not envy, nor bear hatred, and purify —* your tongue from slander and backbiting. For if you rise to act upon this advice —* you will have settled in a lush meadow of piety.”

Shaykh Al Islam Ibn Qudamah (RA) said: Only those who attribute God’s attributes to the attributes of His creatures, in meaning, fall into similitude and anthropomorphism—and we neither believe that nor accept it. Rather, we know that God ﷻ: “There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” And that His attributes are not like those of created beings; whatever might occur to the heart or imagination, God ﷻ—in contrast—has no likeness, no peer, no equal, no counterpart: “There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.” As for our faith in the verses and the reports of the attributes, it is faith in the mere words whose authenticity is beyond doubt and whose truthfulness is unquestioned, and whose Speaker knows their meaning best (as we do not know). We believe in them according to the meaning that our Lord ﷻ intended, thereby combining the required affirmation of faith with the forbidden negation of anthropomorphism.

Importance of Adab (Manners): The early generations (al‑Salaf) indeed bestowed “adab” (refinement of character and scholarship) great care, striving diligently to pursue it and persevering earnestly in its acquisition. The salaf would say: "Knowledge without manners is like fire without wood, and manners without knowledge is like a soul without a body." Some Ahadith about the Importance of Adab: On the authority of Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The rights of a Muslim over another Muslim are six: When you meet him, greet him with peace; when he invites you, respond to his invitation; when he seeks your advice, give him sincere advice; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say to him: 'May Allah have mercy on you'; when he is ill, visit him; and when he dies, follow his funeral." [Reported by Bukhari, Muslim, Ahmad, Tirmidhi, and Abu Dawud] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed, the best among you are those who...

in this book (كتاب التبصرة لابن الجوزي page 494) volume 1 Imam Ibn Al Jawzi (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates the Hadith of the Middle Nation and it seems he is among those scholars who believe that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is a witness over our deeds, which are presented to him, and he supports this view, even though some new creed scholars deny it because of their misguidance and not because of ignorance.   Abu Salih, from Abu Sa'id who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: On the Day of Resurrection, a prophet will come with a man, and another prophet with two men, and more than that. Then their people will be called and asked: Did you receive this message? They will say: No. It will be said to them: Did your people receive it? They will say: Yes. It will be asked: Who bears witness for you? They will say: Muhammad and his followers. Muhammad and his followers will be called. It will be said to them: Did this messag...
