The importance of this subject:
The knowledge of usūl al-hadīth is a science that serves the radiant Prophetic traditions; with it one can distinguish the Prophetic narrations in terms of authenticity and fabrication, soundness and weakness.
Al-Imām ‘Abdullāh ibn al-Mubārak said, “The quality of the hadīth is not in the conciseness of the isnād, rather its quality lies in the soundness of its narrators.”
A Treasury of Guidance For the Muslim Striving to Learn his Religion: Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Saaleh al-‘Utheimeen: Statements of the Guiding Scholars Pocket Edition 4 by Abu Sukhailah Ibn-Abelahyi al-Amreekee
The stipulation from the Quran and Authentic Sunnah in-order for an individual’s Tawheed to be sound.
The matters that absolutely contradict a person’s Tawheed rendering it null and void.
The things that only affect its strength causing it to be weak and feeble.
In his usual, clear, investigative, analytic approach the eminent scholar, Shaykh Muhammed bin Saalih Al-Uthaymeen explained Kitaab at-Tawheed.
As-Siyaam (Fasting) in the language means: Refraining from a thing.
In the legislation it means refraining from food, drink, and the rest of the nullifiers; from the appearance of the second Fajr to the setting of the sun, in worship of Allaah, the mighty and majestic.
Allaah has obligated fasting upon his slaves within every religion.
Allaah, the exalted, has said: “O You who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you is it was prescribed for those before you. That you may become al- muttaqun (pious)”.
In this manner, the person should or rather must act moderately in acts of obedience. So you should not burden yourself with what you cannot bear because when the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard about the three individuals, one of whom said, “Indeed, I will not wed women,” and the second said, “I will observe fasting and never break it,” and the third said, “I will stand up in prayer at night and will not sleep”; he (alayhi salatu wa salaam) delivered a speech in which he said,“What is the matter with those who say such and such, indeed I pray at night and sleep, I observe fasting and break it, and I wed women? For whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not from me.”
This book was printed several times, and then I later decided to comment on it in a summarized manner and then emanate its narrations. I decided to add what I thought was needed to be added, and to delete whatever was unnecessary, which is very seldom. I ask Allâh to make our deeds sincerely for Him Alone and to make this work beneficial for the people. Verily He is the Most Generous, the Most Bounteous.
Based on the scholars’ continual advice to the Muslim youth, combined with the specific need that Muslims in the West have to understand and implement upright moral character, the importance of this book and the need for its translation into the English language becomes crystal clear. And what better guidebook than one based on the character of the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace), authored by an exemplary scholar like Shaykh Ibn al-‘Uthaymeen, known for his outstanding manners!
“Whoever recites Soorah Al Kahf on the day of Jumu’ah, will have a light that will shine from him from one Friday to the next” Declared authentic by Shaykh Al Albani.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: Whoever recites Soorah Al Kahf as it was revealed, he will have a light on the Day of Judgment, from his place to Mecca. And whoever recites ten verses from the end of it then when the Dajjal appears, he will not harm him. And whoever performs wudoo and says: ‘Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilaika (O Allah, You are free from every imperfection; praise be to You. I testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except You; I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance), it will be written for him in a parchment, and it will be placed in a seal, and it will not be broken until the Day of Judgment.
Two large deluxe volumes contain a detailed study/explanation on the topic of creed/aqeedah (belief in oneness of Allah). Each volume has golden color page edges.
So this is a concise explanation upon the book of Shaykhul-Islam Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab entitled, Removing the Doubts of the People of Shirk. In this book, the author mentions ten odd doubts from the people of Shirk and answers them with excellent answers, relying upon textual proof along with an easily comprehensible meaning and clear expression. I ask Allah (subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa) to reward him for that and to benefit the servants through it. Indeed, Allah is capable of all things.
Arrogance is of two types: Arrogance toward the truth and arrogance toward people. The Prophet (sallahu alayhi wassallam) clarified both in his statement, “Arrogance is to regret the truth and belittle the people”
The meaning behind the statement, “Reject the Truth” is to discard it, be averse to it, and to deny it, and the meaning behind the statement “Belittle the People” is to disparage and disdain them, and deem people to be of no worth, seeing oneself above them.
It was said to one man, ‘What do you think of the people?” He said, “I don’t view them in any way except as flies.” So it is said to him, “Indeed they don’t think of you in any was except the same.”
A short treatise from Shaikh Ibn ‘Uthaimeen (rahimahullaah) in which he discusses the role of the Imaam and the manner he should straighten the rows and lead the prayer. It also discusses the role of the worshipers and the manner in which they should stand behind the Imaam in the prayer and the importance of connecting the rows and keeping the lines straight.
Certainly, within every science it is important for a person to learn its fundamentals, so they may generously serve in understanding the science and extracting the principles of what the science has to offer based on those fundamentals. This way, a person’s knowledge will be built upon a strong foundation and firmly established roots. It is said that whoever is prevented from learning the fundamentals, he is prevented from arriving (at what benefits the science has to offer.)
In this book, al Allamah Muhammad b. Salih al-Uthaymin explains a number of vital issues related to the Prayer in a very simple and comprehensive fashion. Not only does the Shaykh clarify the description of the Prayer, but he also expounds on finer details such as the meaning of the legislated supplications and remembrance articulated in the Prayer, which is highly beneficial to every Muslim, especially the English reader. This treatise provides the reader with accurate information based on the Qur’an and the Sunnah, so that the Muslim can actualize the saying of the Prophet (Sallahu alayhi wassalam): “Pray as you have seen me pray”
