Islamic Revival

A translation from the archives: Allah (swt) said: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ وَإِيتَاءِ ذِي الْقُرْبَى وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الْفَحْشَاءِ وَالْمُنْكَرِ وَالْبَغْيِ يَ عِظُكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُونَ Verily, Allah enjoins Al-Adl and Al-Ihsaan (perfection in good conduct) and giving (help) to relatives and He forbids Al-Fahshaa' (open evil deeds like Zinaa) and Al-Munkar (evil that Islaam has forbidden), and Al-Baghy (i.e. All kinds of oppression), He admonishes you do that you may take heed (An-Nahl 90). And it has been verified as Saheeh that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: ‘Verily Allah loves the high Akhlaaq and hates the low/inferior(characteristics)’. And he (saw) said: ‘Verily I have been sent to (only) perfect the noble (virtues of) Akhlaaq’. These texts guide to the Akhlaaq being from the Ahkaam (legal rulings) of Islaam. The Aayah guides to specific Ahkaam of Akhlaaq (morals) and these are that Allah has commanded justice, per

A translation of a Q&A from the archives: Question and answer: 1) Allah has demanded that the Muslim proceed in all of his actions in accordance to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’i without any exception for any action. Built upon that, all of the actions of the Muslim are obligatory to proceed in accordance to the Ahkaam Ash-Shar’i without there being any difference between that which is from the Tareeqah and that which is from the Asaaleeb (styles). This is because the speech of Allah (swt): وَمَا آَتَاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا And whatever the Messenger has brought to you take it and whatever he has forbidden you from abstain from it (Al-Hashr 7). Is general and encompasses every action and because the statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw): ‘Every action that is not upon our Amr (affair/matter) is rejected’ is general and encompasses every action. However from the actions of the human include those in which: ‘The Hukm has come ‘A

The following is the translation of a Question and Answer from the archives: Al-Bid’ah is every action that the Shar’a did not bring i.e. it is every action that is in opposition to the Shar’a. It falls under the statement of the Messenger of Allah (saw): “Every (an y) matter which our matter is not upon is rejected” and therefore everything that is contrary to the Shar’a is Bid’ah. However there are actions for which the Shar’a came with a general Daleel (evidence) and therefore what falls under it is not called a Bid’ah. This is like studying Chemistry which is included under the evidences of knowledge, or it is like travelling for pleasure, making the Mahr (dawry) ten chickens, making a Minaret for the Masjid, the man uncovering his head in public, and lighting the Masjid by electricity or chandeliers. All of this is not called Bid’ah and even if the Shar’a did not bring these matters or if they did not exist at the time of the Messenger of Allah (saw). This is becau
