Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Yahya An Ninowi
The relation between sins and hardships
Everything is connected; every living thing is connected with each other, the sun, the moon, everything living thing is connected to each other in co-existence
All our actions are linked to our places in the after life
We are returning to Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala and to the day of judgement
Everything we do affects our environment
When you say Astgraful Allah, the effects the movement of the clouds, this will cause rain. When we say this problems will become easy, if it was constricting then it will come wide
There was a man who cheated a Jewish man but the man didn’t want to go to the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) because he knew he would judge justly (peace and blessings upon him).
If we have problems then we must go back to Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala and the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)
We can’t expect to get away with disobedience
Ever time someone, cheat, lie it effects their lives
Someone must correct themselves first before correcting themselves.
More sins, more hardship, simple
We should have a new day resolution
One part of Taqwa is fearing Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala, learn the deen and apply it, there are those who know Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala
If we behave ourselves our live will be much more easy
Being yourself into account everyday
The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) prescribes medicine for the heart, we need to go to the doctor of hearts and the prescription.

Sheikh Ahmed Deedat
Jesus, Prophet of Islam
If they say that the Quran is false and the Muhammad (peace and blessings upon him) made it up. If that is true, then why does the Quran states that Mary the mother of Isa was chosen and purified over all the women
Why would an Arab place a non-Arab over all the women, of the world, especially one of the Jews, because they Jews looked down upon the Arabs and they still do look down on them. He didn’t do this, it was revealed to him.
Islam is the only none Christian faith that makes belief in him (Jesus Upon him peace) an article of faith.
Divinity is an ayyran idea from the Hindu’s, they believe in endless incarnations of God. This is not a Semitic idea, from the ancestors of Ibrahim (Upon him peace)
The logic behind idea is that only a man could understand man, does that mean the God know what he created? He knew what he created and he sent messengers, who are men, to guide us.

There is no punishment for a bad heart
but there is punishment for a bad body
which manifests sins.

Hikma 118
Beware, when the rights are not given to Allah Subhanu wa Ta'ala
When you become bored remember that there are many colours of Ibada
So change your colours
The reason we have different forms of worship is so we can perfect our prayer
Stick to whats easy and perfect it.

Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Al Yaqoubi
I remember in talk given by Sheikh Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim Al Yaqoubi, someone asked, "How do you know if Allah loves you?" If you love Allah, then he loves you.
He also said that a student of Abu Hanifa used to say that he knew when Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala would remember him. He was asked how did he know. He took it from the Quran were Allah (Subhanu wa Ta’ala) say in his eternal speech, "Remember me and I will remember you."
To get something you must show something, at least that’s the way I understand it.

Interview Cartoons
Freedom of speech was used in the west used this to criticise politicians and leaders.
We should be sensitive to he beliefs of other religions
It’s wrong to trample on the Danish flag.
The media tends to focus on extremist views
There’s a lot of good in this country, lowest corruption levels in the world
Anjam would be arrested if he was in the middle east because he was seen as an extremist
We should have a respectful opinions and dialogue with each other

Hikam Number 72
If there is continuity in spiritual work then that, inshallah Allah will accept the work at the end.
(Wherever he finds fruit.)
If he finds sweetness, he stops there and if he does it for the sweetness then it isn't solely for Allah Ta’ala, so the intention has to be or Allah Ta’ala.
Look inside yourself and examine your intention.

Sheikh Abu Jafr Al Hanbali
Dampening down the flames
How do you make sense of it, Should be repelled by it
We have seen explosions of violence and anger
In the past the Muslims have been on the back foot for 500-1000 years
When the retreat happened, we became defensive
Two responses, (the first way they responded and now how we respond)
So much wastage has occurred, paper, energy etc
We should look at the first three generations and use their reactions to be our reaction
We lost the moral ground in this argument, due to our overreaction
The Muslims did not kill Dante but he was actually killed by the Catholics
We have we seen so many die in these riots. This is the “Hatfield and McCoy Syndrome” where two families fought over a well for over four generations. They killed each other and then forgot what why they were so angry but kept fighting.
Those pictures were not him, (they can’t be him, How can a picture illustrate a man who used to light up a room, in the middle of the night.) We have descriptions of him in the Sahih Tirmindi, The pictures were not historically accurate buttons across his chest, when the clothes had open necks. There were 12 pictures, 11 from Denmark and one done by an Israeli to provoke Palestinians.
A man who used to see the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) walk by, he would throw hot ash at him.
Everyday his walls were soaked with urine and someone would defecate in his house.
He visited a man who used to urinate in his house and visited him and told him “I missed you today.” (peace and blessings upon him). He converted to Islam after this.
One his daughters were murdered while in Mecca and after the conquest of Mecca, he saw man and said to him “I forgive you.” (peace and blessings upon him)
Someone threw a rock at him and it cut him near his hairline and he didn’t retaliate
Could be possible that people have seen a bad image of Muslim, suicides, credit card cheats, heroin addicts, abortions, gangster type mentality, A Muslim attacked his mother because she refused to give him money for his crack habit. Is this because of Islam? (Or is it us?)
Someone asked me why I am was wearing a dress, he replied “A dress has a floral pattern on it.” Then he said, “Why are you wearing a long shirt on?”
“Because it’s a fruit of my faith.” (He was happy with that.) Maybe we need to grow a thicker skin. I was asked why I was wearing a towel on my head, “the towels in my house are too big to wear on my head, I wouldn’t be able to walk. “What’s that scarf on your head?” It’s the what all the prophets (upon them peace) would wear on and I like to wear it because it’s a fruit of my faith.”
We have to learn to be tough skinned, someone said to him “Bin laden” he replied “Abu Jafr.” (So it looked like one of them aid their name and the other replied.)
Who is discriminating whom? Is it us or is it them, we should not act in the same way.
I was lost in London and I found a Jewish man who had a big beard and asked him for directions and he helped. The friend said he didn’t want to ask the Jewish man. You don’t ask a man with a rocket launcher who is running at you, for directions.
Some new converts to Islam wanted to destroy Jewish books, The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) told them to give them back to their one who owns them.
In 1948 in Palestine, a Muslim saw a Jew he called him the Jew was disturbed. The Muslim beckoned him to follow him and he did, the Muslim took him into a house and locked the doors behind him and then gave him part of a parchment of the Torah he had saved.
We have difficulties that we need to address, double standards that we have to sort out.
Russian propaganda published a book that was sent to Muslims which was found to be a fake, it was about Zionism. (It stated that the Jews wanted to take over the world.)
Some people hate Islam because of what we have shown them of Islam
We should stop racist literature by using language that they don’t understand like “Shidi.”
We cannot become Islam-o-nazi’s! I will not allow it to happen!
The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said he was the first one made and the last one to be sent.
In Arab custom if they would see an army coming they would take off their clothes and go the sacred place and the people would listen. The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) went to that same place and warned the people. “If I warned you about an army over the hill, would you believe me?” They said yes but they denied his message.
Eleven places in the Quran that the people would meet their lord. 22.23
The first theological verses are from 78-114 in the Quran, understand the faith.
During the Ottomans caliphate of 800 years they only stones one person for adultery and 8 people had their hands cut off for stealing.
We need to work at the grass roots of our communities
The ends don’t justify the means the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said “They are wrong even when they are right.”
We need to understand each other religions and know we cannot agree on some issues
Paradise is mentioned more in the Quran than the Fire is
Work on three things
1. Get a thicker skin
2. Refuse to be oversensitive.
3. Be lenient
We shouldn’t punish the entire Danish population for what a small number of them have done. Pointless, is the ban on Danish products.
Some of the best qualities of the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)
1. Eloquence, frankness, bold, straight forwardness
2. Reliable
3. Character towards his family (he served his family while he was at home.) (peace and blessings upon him)

Hikama 105
I wonder about the lesson that the trail is teaching him
A great blessing is to know what test is from and its ease and Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala is the one who will make it easy.
Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala is more merciful than a mother to his child
Perhaps you dislike a thing that is good for you
Have belief that only Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala can help you
One atoms weight of good is the same as 1000 mountains of good work
If Allah Ta’ala loves a servant he will test him

Ramadan Radio
What is needed in this month is Sabr (patience) during trials and desires
Allah Ta’ala helps people who are patient
Continue doing good deeds that you have started in Ramadan and if they persist then s/he will get an opening
Everything with a soul will be resurrected
After the gathering will come the standing
Those who carved idols out of wood or stone will be hell with that person
Good works can be rewarded in the dunya and the afterlife
Person who does an act in the world
S/he can remain in heaven
Jihad is a means to protect the deen and only Muslims can protect the deen not a non-Muslim
Jihad is Ibada (an act of worship) and a non-Muslim cannot do an act of worship

Just enough religion to hate
We don’t haven’t done anything wrong and nobody can accuse us of anything
With every right, there is a responsibility
Mishala Morsal are laws made by man but not sacred law
Ibn Qaum Jawzi said that;
There are 4 types of Haram
Is easy to wipe out sins I.e. drinking
Harder one, between you and people
Between you and Allah
Saying what you don’t know
You can’t say what’s halal and haram
Our understanding needs to be open
People consult Sheikh Google?!?!
The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) said, “Enter into this religion, gently.”
A bedion urinated in the mosque (the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) explained to him the rights of the mosque.) “Know peoples level and what they will do and teach gently.” Understand the nature of the people.
We are losing our balance as a human nature
Rule of law is part and parcel of Islam
Tarhb in the Quran means to deter. (The modern word in Arabic for terrorist is Irabi which is from this root.)
We have every right to defend ourselves
Governing principle in Islam is justice
Jihad is in carried in order to prevent injustice
Allah Ta’ala is enough for you a protector if they incline to peace your should incline to peace
Ibn Tamiyyah said that “Christians only show the sword as proof and Islam conquered with proof.”
Islam came to conquer hearts and souls not bodies
Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) had a desire to guide people
Every person in the world is part of the Umma of the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him)
I’ll leave you with three things
Change your understanding of Jihad. “peak of the peak.”
1a. Jihad al naafs “The one who struggles against his passion.”
Musa (Upon him peace) dropped the tablets, if we get carried angry we will lose the sacred
Isa's (Upon him peace) way was to turn the other cheek
Ibn Jawzi al Qalbi said the best revelation is in the mercy
You cant say about Allah Ta’ala what you don’t know
Ali (May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him)wanted to find out what was in a letter sent to the Muskrin
We could be wrong in something
There are more Muslims living in Europe than in the Arab peninsula
Don’t call each other Kafir, Kufr is about belief
Abu Hammish said “It is easier for me to call 1000 non muslims , mulsim than call one muslim kafir.
Taqwa is to behave with Allah ta’ala inwardly and outwardly
Stop backbiting, don’t find fault in your brother, its as if you have faulted yourself
Don’t mock other groups
Allah ta’ala puts the Muslims into one group and the Kafir put us into smaller groups.
The prinples of Jihad are three
Justice (in the path of Allah)
Response to aggression
Don’t be agressors
The Abbassids had diplomatic ties with france, Harun Al Rashid sided with the French over the Ummayyads in spain.
Prohibit yourself first

Imam Zaid Shakir
Collateral Damage
Much of our lives are removed from Islam
Removed from the reality of Islam
What the future holds isn’t what is in the present
After 9/11 the conversation rate was five times as much
In Spain after the bombing they cried out for peace
We are given a false dilemma that is mutually exclusive
Either you affirm your British identity or your Muslim one
A confusing situation, to affirm something that means leaving the other
There is a 3rd option affirm both
We have been given Physic space to think
Totalarian regimes have caused millions to perish. I.e. Marxism
Idiots of the Islamic state who haven’t fully understood it, they lack the purity of vision and lack the resources
Think about the intellectual roots
Islam didn’t say we’d win everything
It’s easy to believe without a (test inflicting us) trail
Progressive revelation is a mega myth
We think that we are better than that; everyone thinks he is better than the other
We divorce ourselves from the value of Human rights
Egypt, Rome, Greece, Aztec all rose and fell
Islam rises and falls and it is Arab centric
It roose in Arabia then fell
It roose in Turkey then fell
It roose in Africa then fell
Rising in the West….
Allah Ta’ala brought all these people from different nations to be unifed by Islam in order to re-invigorate Islam we should not replicate our divisions. Islam can create community out of chaos, we relate to our own environment
“Thisstan or thatstan”
We have common cultural identity
We have to break down the barriers of racism in our own societies
Islam is about saving people not killing people
We can show people how to live
It takes a lot more courage to live
Have the courage to talk to your neighbours about Islam
Rise above the circumstances a moral vision needs to be put forward to save these people in a western de-humanizing system, which cultivates a climate of hate
Get involved at grass roots levels, involved in school boards at local levels
Relax if it’s decreed then it will happen if it doesn’t then we don’t need to
worry about it
Trust in Allah Ta’ala
We are living for the afterlife
We don’t have anyone but Allah Ta’ala to turn to

Rise above the circumstances a moral vision needs to be put forward to save these people in a western de-humanizing system, which cultivates a climate of hate
Get involved at grass roots levels, involved in school boards at local levels
Relax if it’s decreed then it will happen if it doesn’t then we don’t need to
worry about it
Trust in Allah Ta’ala
We are living for the afterlife
We don’t have anyone but Allah Ta’ala to turn to

Imam Zaid Shakir
Spiritual remedy for the Present Crisis Part Two
The Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) “Muslims are bricks in a wall they support each other.”
Don’t be distracted by women or a woman
Globalisation of sport
“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose it how you play the game.”
Jihad is not about winning or losing, and if you think it is then you don’t understand Islam,
In the Mahraka (battlefield) you cannot kill non-combatants
Who is fighting whom? There is no Shariah basis for these actions
We have to become closer to the Quran
Patiently persevere the problems, which inflict people
Don’t panic when things aren’t going our way, this place is a test.
“The one who understands the nature of this world. Aliments become easy for him.” Imam Ali Ibn Abu Talib (May Allah Ta’ala be pleased with him)
There was a man in solitary confinement, he had killed people on heroin and was a womaniser. He converted to Islam, came out of prison nine years later married an older sister, worked 12pm-8am at night, he would sleep 30 mins and work until 4pm (on a Muslim housing project) sleep for three hours and then went back to work.
Patience is promised, the greatest reward

Sheikh Nuh Ha min Keller/ Hafiz Gul Muhammad/ Sidi Hassan Rasool
Spiritual remedy for the Present Crisis Part one
Hafiz Gul Muhammad
A Sheikh came to a Magician and told him that Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala desires good for you, for what you have done. The magician couldn’t think of anything good he did the sheikh explained to him. A old lady knocked on his door, when he opened it she didn’t say anything, he asked her but she didn’t reply, this happened three times.
After she went away he heard the cries of her children when he approached her house. The old lady felt she couldn’t beg from people after asking and begging to Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala, so when the magician heard the cries of her children. He gave her food and clothes and when the sheikh explained this to him he became Muslim.
Sidi Hassan Rasool
The nourishment of the body ends up as nourishment of the soul
The nourishment of the soul can only enrich a person.
Sheikh Nuh Ha Min Keller
A Word of advice – Tell the truth
Corruption has appeared on land and sea because of what they have done and a bit of punishment is shown as a mercy to go back from sin
Body mind and sprit must be one
Inward must be sound for the outward to be sound
The sea change must change
When the trees get torn out of a forest what is left? Weeds.
The Masjid was the first thing build in Medina after the Hijra
Tawasul is a means to draw closer to Allah Subhanu wa Ta’ala
A sect appeared that make takfir over other groups, conquered Mecca in 1806 and the removed in 1812. Until 1920 the Wahabis killed 4,000 hujaj (Hajji's) from Yemen.
A generation of Satan
The CIA has an office in the University of Ibn Wahab
They provide the financial support for 4,000 madrasas for the Deobandis
Jason burke was made to feel welcome in Afghanistan until he met an Egyptian who hated his guts.
Jihad is “Ibada Maqula” it has a specific purpose it is supposed to make an improvement.
Nothing has improved for the Muslims with these events. In fact the conditions are worse for the Muslims, there is no improvement.
Egyptians came to Afghanistan to spread the Wahabi doctrine
People see endless punishment
Essence of fascism is the cooperation of big corporations and government
