Islamic Revival

Question: Assalaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu Our honourable Sheikh, I have a question regarding a phrase that was mentioned in the Book Islamic Personality (Shakhsiya), Volume One page 46 (Arabic version):  "Allah سبحانه وتعالى will enter those He wills from the Muslims into hellfire whose majors and sins outweigh their minors and rewards".  What is meant by their minors? Why was it mentioned next to the rewards if it means minor sins? For the knowledge I am not a member of the Hizb due to the absence of party work in our area. From Abu Abdullah Khalaf Answer: Wa Alaikumu Salaam Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakaatuhu The minors are the sins that have a lighter punishment, and the majors are sins that have severe punishments...for example: lying is prohibited... but if you tell your son: come, I will give something in my hand, when he comes and finds nothing in your hand to give, you would have lied, and it is a sin but with lighter implications; it is fr

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
