Importance of Makkah to Muslims Print PDF

Written by Nasrin | 22 September 2010

Q 10: How important is Makkah to the Muslim world?

A: Allah has made Makkah a place of resort for mankind and a place of safety and a holy sanctuary where pilgrims and scholars can gather to perform the rituals of Hajj and ‘Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) in an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility, hoping for Allah’s Reward and fearing His Punishment (Glorified be He). It is a place where Muslims get to know one another, and advise and consult one another over matters related to their religious and worldly life. It is also a place where the reward for performing Salah (Prayer) and righteous deeds is multiplied.

May Allah grant us success! May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions!

Words of Advice to the Muslims in the West
by Shaykh Abdul Azeez aal Shaykh حفظه الله
on Saturday, March 19, 2005


BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE LECTURER

Dear brothers and sisters in Islaam, it is indeed our great pleasure to have with us today one of our senior scholars, a scholar who spent his life seeking and teaching knowledge – an exemplary scholar, the khaleefah (successor) of Imaam ‘Abdul-‘Azeez ibn Baaz رحمه الله (May Allah have mercy upon him). Today’s lecturer is our honorable father, samaahatus-Shaykh al-waalidul-habeeb ‘Abdul-‘Azeez bin ‘Abdullaah Aal ash-Shaykh حفظه الله تعالى. He is the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, Chairman of the Council of Senior Scholars and Chairman of the Permanent Committee of Islamic Research and Fataawa.


SHAYKH’S INTRODUCTION

Shaykh ‘Abdul-‘Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh حفظه الله تعالى began the lecture by thanking Allaah سبحانه وتعالى the Lord of the Worlds, and asked Allaah سبحانه وتعالى to send salaah and salaam (peace and blessings) upon sayyidinaa wa habeebinaa (our beloved leader) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم, the sayyid (leader) of the first and the last (communities), and upon his family and Companions and all those who follow them in righteousness and goodness until the Day of Judgment. To proceed:

My noble brothers, my brothers in belief in the United States of America salaamu Allaahi ‘alaykum wa rahmatu wa barakaatu (May the Peace and Mercy of Allaah and His Blessings be upon you). My noble brothers, I am talking to you through the telephone which is a modern-age tool that Allaahسبحانه وتعالى has made as a means for us, as a tool of communication between us and our brothers, even if the lands are far apart; so Glorified be Allaah, the All-Wise the All-Knower.

My brothers I am speaking to you today from the city of Riyadh, the capital of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I ask Allaah سبحانه وتعالى that He grants us and you success, soundness and assists us to do good deeds and gives us righteousness and uprightness upon His Deen.


WHAT IS NEEDED TO UNIFY THE WORLD

Dear brothers and sisters in Islaam, indeed the ‘Aqeedah of al-Islaam is the greatest link which links Muslims together. We have come together upon the belief of Islaam. This is the only means that will bring about true unity. This belief, Islaam and eemaan is what will bring together nations, tribes and all people. It is the correct, strongest and only means that can and will bring the hearts together in love, possessing the ability of unifying the world.

Allaah spoke the truth when He said:
إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ
{The believers are nothing else than brothers.} [Al-Hujuraat 49:10]

And Allaah spoke the truth when He said:
وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانًا
{...and remember Allâh’s Favour on you, for you were enemies one to another but He joined your hearts together, so that, by His Grace, you became brethren (in Islâmic Faith)} [Aali-‘Imraan, 3:103]

Explanation of the hadeeth “Ad-Deen An-Nasihah”

  
by Shaykh Abdullaah al-Ghudyaan
on Saturday, June 4th, 2005



The Shaykh hafidhahullaah, he began by thanking Allaah and praising Him and sending the peace and the prayer upon His Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa ‘ala aalihi wa sallam. And then he said the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa ‘ala aalihi wa sallam, said "Ad-Deenu naseehah" i.e. the Deen is sincere advice. Deen is sincere advice. Deen is sincere advice. So we said "To who yaa Rasoolullah?" He said "To Allaah and His Book, and His Messenger, and the heads of the ummah, (the leaders of the nation) and its masses." [1]

So he, ‘alaihis salaatu was salaam, he says to us that naseehah (advice) is to Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’aala, and that is that the advice to Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’aala is that you have eemaan in Allaah and that you worship Allaah subhaanahu wa ta’aala without taking any partners or equals to Him i.e. He has no equals. You worship Him alone, and in tawheed ar-Rooboobiyah (in His Lordship). There is none equal or similar to Him in His Lordship, His Names and Attributes or His worship.

UIK Educational Seminar
 
 
by Shaykh Fahad al Fuhayd حفظه الله
on Saturday, September 16th, 2006



Introduction by the Shaykh

The Shaykh حفظه الله began with the basmalah and by praising Allaah سبحانه وتعالى and sending salaah and salaams upon our Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, his family and his Companions. After giving salaams, the Shaykh حفظه الله continued: I ask Allaah سبحانه وتعالى to preserve you wherever you may be. This is indeed a golden opportunity and a bounty from the bounties of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى that we have come here and that we may advise each other upon the truth and upon patience. Indeed I have some advices that I ask Allaah سبحانه وتعالى to benefit me as well as you.


Six Beneficial Advices
 
  
  1. Importance of seeking knowledge

    First of all is the importance of continuing to learn and seek knowledge from the `Ulamaa’ – the Scholars who are firmly grounded in knowledge. Allaah سبحانه وتعالى said in the Qur’aan:
    وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْماً
    {…and say: "O My Lord! Increase me in knowledge."} [TaaHaa 20:114]

    A person should not be deceived by that which he has learnt and think that he has achieved enough knowledge. Rather, a person should continue to learn and continue to be a seeker of knowledge. Therefore, it is not enough for a person to say “I have acquired so much” or ‘enough’ knowledge, rather this is not enough. Knowledge is very broad and there is need for us to be patient and to continue seeking knowledge. Whoever continues on the path of seeking knowledge until his death, he is on his way to Paradise as mentioned in the hadeeth: “Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allaah will make easy for him the path to the Jannah.”[1]

Prohibition of Differences and Ikhtilaafaat

by Shaykh 'Abdullaah Ibn Abdur-Rahmaan Al-Jarboo (حفظه الله تعالى)
on Saturday, August 22nd, 2004


The Shaykh 'Abdullaah Al-Jarboo (حفظه الله تعالى) is a learned scholar from Saudi Arabia, a professor at the Islaamic University in Madeenah Al-Munawwarah (الجامعة الإسلامية بالمدينة المنورة). Perhaps those of you who listen to ‘Ilm-Online have heard many of his lectures. May Allaah سبحانه وتعالى reward him tremendously for being with us today.


Introduction

The Shaykh ‘Abdullaah Al-Jarboo حفظه الله تعالى proceeded: In previous lessons we discussed that eemaan (الإيمان – faith) increases and decreases depending on each person. Mankind differs in the amount of eemaan which they possess. The level of one’s eemaan is determined by:
  • What is in one’s heart i.e. what is in one’s heart from knowledge (علم – ’ilm), belief (اعتقاد – al-I’tiqaad) and love (محبة – mahabbah). One person may have more love for Allaah سبحانه وتعالى and His messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم than another, so the degree of love will be stronger from one individual to another. Similarly the belief will be more correct in one individual as compared to another, and one individual may have a stronger volition than another to choose what is good. All of these qualities are from the actions of the heart.

  • One’s actions i.e. the actions of the individual in his commitment to performing good/righteous actions; e.g. when he does good actions such as prayer (الصلاة – salaah), fasting (الصوم – sawm) and pilgrimage (الحج – Hajj), and leaves off the bad ones.

  • One’s speech i.e. one must engage in good speech and busy one’s tongue with reciting the Qur’aan, remembering Allaah سبحانه وتعالى, saying good things (الكلام الحسن – alkalaamul hasan) and other than that from the acts of obedience. All these things as well as leaving off ill sayings will increase one’s eemaan.

Building and Maintaining the Houses of Allaah

By Shaykh Abdullaah Al-Jarboo حفظه الله

Delivered on Saturday 29th November 2008

 

INTRODUCTION

Dear brothers and sisters, we at al-Quraan was-Sunnah Society of New York, Masjid Ahlul-Quraan was-Sunnah, albaseerah.org welcome you all to our live lectures with the Scholars and Mashaa’ikh of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jamaa`ah. It pleases us very much to resume our intensive courses and special sessions by the Scholars which will take place on a regular basis. Please visit our website www.albaseerah.org for details and the schedule.

Dear brothers and sisters, those of us who don’t own a home are always exploring the opportunities to buy our own home; and those who are blessed with their own home spend a lot of money making sure that their homes are kept safe, clean, tidy and beautiful. But when it comes to the house of Allaah, a place where the believers come to worship the Creator of the heavens and the earth, it is expected that the believers would race against each other to build the houses of Allaah. We see that every single believer would do whatever it takes to construct and furnish the houses of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى.

 Dear brothers and sisters, we at Masjid Ahlul-Quraan was-Sunnah believe it is our duty to serve our community in the best manner possible. We have a strong desire to educate, cultivate and unite our community upon the Qur’aan and Sunnah. We want to take care of your needs and live up to your expectations. To accomplish this goal, it pleases me very much to inform you that inshaa’Allaah we will be moving to a better and bigger location. Alhamdulillaah, we are negotiating the contract for a new building and major renovation is going to take place soon inshaa’Allaah. But we are in need of Allaah’s help and tawfeeq, so please continue to make du`aa (supplication).

 Dear brothers and sisters, in addition to your du`aa we are also in need of your financial help. We have strong faith in you and we know that as always, you are going to do your best to play a major role in building this masjid, a House of Allaah عز وجل.

 Alhamdulillaah, Allaah has opened the doors of sadaqatun-jaariyah (on-going charity) for you so that you list yourself among those who will inherit a nice home in Jannah inshaa’Allaah, as the Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Whoever builds a masjid for Allaah ta`aalaa, seeking the Face of Allaah, Allaah will build for him a house in Jannah.”[1] So here is an opportunity for you so that Allaah can build a home for you in Jannah.

The path to traverse in order to understand the Qur’aan and memorize it

by Shaykh Abdullaah al-Ghudyaan,
on Saturday, January 5th, 2008


The Shaykh حفظه الله began in the Name of Allaah and by praising Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and sending the salaat and salaam upon our Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم, his family members and all his Companions رضي الله عنهم أجمعين.

This subject consists of clarifying the stages which one must traverse in order to gain a thorough understanding of the Book of Allaah سبحانه وتعالى. It also entails a discussion of the various books which an individual must utilize in order to aid his understanding the Book of Allaah, as well as the other sciences which will contribute to a better understanding.


FIRST STAGE – SELECT A TOPIC AND IDENTIFY THE AAYAAT DEALING WITH THAT TOPIC

One must specify a group of aayaat on a particular topic. For example, if you look at Suratul-Baqarah, you will find that it deals with many topics. It contains statements on: eemaan (belief), kufr (disbelief), nifaaq (hypocrisy), likewise ahlul Kitaab (the People of the Book), Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah), siyaam (fasting), talaaq (divorce), ribaa (interest), mudaayanaat (blood money and debts) and other subjects.

The individual must identify the aayaat which discuss one topic. This is the first phase. It is possible to seek help from some of the books of Tafseer and likewise some of the masaahif. There are some masaahif in which the topics are identified; and some books of Tafseer which specify the aayaat which discuss a particular subject e.g. Tafseer ibn Katheer which identifies the aayaat which speak about a single topic, and there are many books of Tafseer which do this.

Shaykh Ahmad حفظه الله after praising Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and sending the salaat and the salaam upon the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Assalaamu ‘Alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh. O my brothers and sisters in Islaam, indeed the most tremendous bounty which Allaah سبحانه و تعالى has given to his slave is that He guided them and gave them success in learning His Religion, and seeking knowledge of this Religion from those who inherit this knowledge from the Prophets and Messengers. This is tawfeeq from Allaah سبحانه و تعالى and likewise the fact that Allaah سبحانه و تعالى has brought about those people who will make this tareeq (طريق) – this path of seeking knowledge easy for you.
