Is Ali Halabi Really a Student of Shaykh Al-Albani?
Ubayd Jabiree (may Allah bless him)
Questioner: Oh Shaykh, We study the books written by Shaykh Al-Albani (may Allah have mercy him) . Sometimes there are some issues that cause us confusion. For those issues should we ask Shaykh Ali Hasan Abdul Hameed; as he was a student...
Shaykh Ubayd: He interrupts.. No! No! He isn’t a suitable person to go ask. This is because he isn’t one of Al-Albani’s students. When Shaykh Nasirud Deen Al-Albani was in Sham: Syria, He used to have students. However when he moved to Jordan he didn’t have any students. While residing in Jordan he didn’t teach. Some brothers used to sit with him only.
Questioner: Yeah, Oh Shaykh we heard that he remained with the Shaykh and benefitted from him for around twenty-five years.
Shaykh: No, He didn’t cling to Shaykh Al-Albani! This is a lie. This speech is incorrect. Rather, he occasionally used to visit the Shaykh like others.
Questioner: Oh, Shaykh who do you advise us to ask questions to?
Shaykh: By Allah, may Allah bless you. Ask those who are firm in their religion and trustworthy from the people of knowledge. Ask the people of knowledge who have knowledge and understanding.
Questioner: So, does this mean that we don’t return our affairs to Shaykh Ali?
Shaykh Ubaid: Wallahi, I don’t believe you should return your affairs to a man that has begun to act rash and commingle (with Ahul bid’ah)
Questioner: Allah’s help is sought! May Allah reward you Shaykh.

Description
The Lives of two great Companions of the Prophet, Mu'aadh bin Jabal and Abdullaah bin 'Umar
Biographies taken from the works of: Imaam adh-Dhahabee, Al-Haafidh Ibn Hajar, Ibn Al-Jawzee, Ibn Katheer, Imaam Ahmad bin Hanbal, Ibn Al-Atheer. May Allaah's Mercy be upon all of them.
The Prophet, may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him, said: "The best of people are my generation; then those that come after them, then those that come after them."
He (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) also stated:
"You shall not cease to be upon good for as long as there are amongst you those that sa w me and accompanied me. By Allaah; you shall not cease to be upon good for as long as there are amongst you those that sa w those that sa w me and accompany those that accompanied me. By Allaah; you shall not cease to be upon good for as long as there are amongst you those that sa w those that sa w those that sa w me and accompany those that accompanied those that accompanied me."
'Abdullaah bin Mas'ood (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said:
"Indeed Allaah, The Most High, looked to the hearts of the servants; and so He found the heart of Muhammad (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to be the best of the hearts of the servants. So He chose him for Himself and sent him with His message. Then He looked to the hearts of the servants after the heart of Muhammad; and so He found the hearts of his (may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) Companions to be the best of the hearts. So He made them as viziers of His Prophet; that they should fight for His religion."
=====================================
I think i bought it like over 2 years ago, almost all of my English Books i bought over 2 years ago, in last 2 years i bought only few English books. I read parts of it long ago, i wanted to read it again and finished it i believe last night or the night before. I was reviewing again last night.
There are so much to learn in this little book, two great examples to follow up in their actions and statements. Lives of salaf, as i read my tears really flowed down my eyes more than once.
I will share few quotes from the book with you all:
Mu'adh ibn Jabal:
Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam advised Mu'adth radi allahu anhu to say this dua at the end of every prayer: O Allah aid me upon remembrance of you, and in giving thanks to you and worshipping you in a fine manner"
Mu'adth narrated to one who said he loves him for the sake of Allah, saying Prophet sallallahu alayhe wasallam said Allah said: my love becomes obligatory for those who loves each others for My sake, and those who sit together for My sake, and those who visit each other for My sake, and those who who exert themselves for My sake."
and he advised a man saying this who was seeking advice from people passing by him: "know that there is no enrichment for you by way of your prosperity with regards the duniyah, whilst you are in property of the hereafter even more impoverished, so begin with your prosperity of the hereafter, for it will bypass you in your prosperity of the duniyah and keep it in steady order. then it will reside with you wherever you may reside."
Ibn Umar said to a man who asked him a question but he didn't respond instead kept quiet: "indeed but it is as though you people see that Allah, the Most High shall not ask us about that concerning which you ask us about, leave us, may Allah have mercy upon you - until we come to resolve concerning your question, and if then there is an answer for it, then so, or otherwise we shall teach you that we have no knowledge concerning it."
"a man will not be at a station with regards to knowledge until; he does not envy one who is above him, nor does he despise one who is below him and nor does he seek with the knowledge a price."
and with this i will suffice. may Allah grant our noble salaf-us-saleh, all of them from the first to last of them, jannat alfirdaus and give us tawpiq to follow them in their words and actions in righteousness. ameen.

Tawheed/Tauheed/Tauhid of Allah's Most Beautiful Names and Lofty Attributes : The Belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal' Jama'ah
Among the subjects that have not been adequately covered in the English language, perhaps the most important of them is the one covered in the pages of this book.
The author presents the belief of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah, which is the creed of the first few generations of Muslims and those who followed in their footsteps. Besides outlining the principles and foundations of this creed he also highlights some of the foreign ideas and deviant concepts that have crept into the hearts and minds. The style in which this book has been written relates more to a textbook than to a book for casual reading. The author has carefully structured the book, divided it into clearly headed sections and provided all the necessary definitions and explanations that will facilitate a clear understanding of this immensely important branch of knowledge.
=======================================
Alhamdulillah i finally finished it last night. i bought this book Long time ago, over 2 years i believe or more. I didn't know who the author was so i was hesitant to buy it but i really wished to buy a book on the Asma was sifat of Allah. There is another book on this topic by shaykh assadee but that is very brief unlike this one. after i saw albaseerah masjid selling it, i thought it must be a good book for them to sell so i bought it. then i thought the author was shaykh muhammad ibn abdul wahhab at-tamimi but it is not him, BUT it is a salafi shaykh from the prof. of Madinah Uni.
and MaashaaAllah, he started the book first with importance of learning this division of tawheed and then he went to mention relationship between this category of tawheed and other categories and then he explained the types of tahweed are mentioned by the scholars.
some divided tawheed into 2 categories, others, 3 and others 4, but those who divided into four made a MISTAKE because tawheed alhakamiyah is found in tawheed al-ulohiyah [worship].
and the division of tahweed into is valid, where tawheed ar-rubobiyah and asma was sifat was made into one category due they being knowledge based unlike tawheed al-ulohiyah [which refers to the actions].
and then he had a chapter only on terms "salaf us saleh and ahlus sunnah and ahlus sunnah ti waljama'ah" and maashaaAllah he did great in explaining them so precisely and organized manner, such that after you finished reading, you are clear about each terms and how they are used.
and then he went to explain the belief of ahlus sunnah in this division of tawheed and explain how the people of deviation deviated in this field and what corruption they did.
i will give you one example that shaykh gave, which is so amazing if you understand simple arabic verbal sentence.
in Arabic there is Verbal sentance that starts with a verb and it has 3 parts, verb, doer, and object - the doer is always marfu - with damma, and object is always mansub - with fatha, so in the Qur'an there is one aya where Allah said:
كلم اللهُ مسى
meaning: Allah spoke to Musa
so the people of deviation did what with this sentence was this:
كلم اللهَ مسى
meaning: Musa spoke to Allah
thus negating the fact that Allah speaks.
==========================
Lastly our belief in this division of tawheed is that:
we believe in all names and attributes of Allah that Allah has mentioned in His Book and that His Messenger mentioned in His Sunnah without tahreef, ta'til, takyim and tahtheel.
Alhamdulillah this book is found as PDF so you can see rest for yourself in the book:

Publisher's Note
All praises are due unto Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad, and upon his family, and all of his Companions. Thus to proceed:
This is an introduction concerning the Noble Qur'an. It is intended to present writings about the stories in the Noble Qur'an. In this writing we would like to discuss the Qur'an itself: Defining it, describing it, discussing its virtue, when it was revealed, and how it was revealed. Also we will discuss why it was revealed in separate parts, who compiled it, how it was compiled, and when was it compiled. Then we will discuss its distinguished characteristics, its many facets, its miracles, and other related discussions.
We have intended in this introductory study of the Qur'an to show the student its mistaken understandings, and to guide the Muslim youth towards the correct understanding of the Qur'an and its related aspects. It also has not evaded us that we should point out the wisdom of expounding upon the Qur'anic stories in the Qur'an. This is so that we can stop at the thresholds of the Qur'anic stories with an understanding of this book (the Qur'an) which holds these stories between its covers.
It is Allah, the Most High, Who I ask to make this matter easy for us, and that He make possible that this pen be from the pens of Islamic struggle that defend the religion of Islam, and spread every valuable aspect of the religion.
Allah is the One Who we seek help from, and He is behind our every good intention.

========================================================
This small book reached me last night, alhamdulillah, i was really waiting for this book, alhamdulillah, when finally the book reached me, i couldn't wait to start it, so started it last night as sleep left me for a long time, and then i read it on my way to college and back home in the train. alhamdulillah.
I have to say, this book although titled for children, it is really a very concise and very beneficial books for adults, when i saw its PDF sample pages, i was like i am no less than a child, i want it for myself. alhamdulillah.
the book goes over what the manager mentioned and also much more. the book gives pretty good detail history of compilation of qur'an and its names and also its virtues and merits of reading it and acting on it and also aspects that makes this Qur'an a miracle.
the book cited a statement of ibn taymiyah where he said: the one who doesn't read qur'an abandoned it, who reads and doesn't ponder over it, has abandoned it, and also who reads and ponders over it yet doesn't act by it, has abandoned it.
and one of the other thing i learned was the fact that: Qur'an was revealed TWO TIMES. One time it was revealed full from the preserved tablet to the lowest heaven, and then from there it was revealed to the prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam by Jibrail alayhe wasallam.
i never knew this part well, i once heard someone mentioned something like this but i never found this info. in any of my reading. subhan Allah.
also book goes over wisdom behind revealing qur'an in parts and also goes over which aya was revealed last and last.
maashaaAllah, there are so much important and yet very basic knowledge about Qur'an found in this book, very beneficial.
i really would recommend for everyone to read it, those who never read this book.
may Allah reward my two noble sisters through whom this book reached me. ameen.

Methodology of the Saved Sect

The subject matter of this book calls the Muslims to the Belief (aqeedah) of Tawheed, pure and completely free of Shirk, the manifestations of which have spread in most of the Islamic countries. Shirk is the reason for the destruction of the previous nations and the reason for the misery and suffering of the contemporary world, especially the Islamic world and what has befallen it from the trials and calamities. The chapters of this book also clarify the methodology and belief (aqeedah) of the Saved Sect and Victorious Group, mentioned in the narrations of the Prophet (pbuh), in order to illuminate this methodology to the Mankind and jinn, so that they may become from those who are Saved and Victorious, if Allah wills.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The above info. is from a site that sells the book.
Alhamdulillah finally finished this book. I really wanted to buy this for a LONG Time long time ago, it took me so long time to buy it, because each time i had money, i would buy other books and leave it alone. i don't remember finally from where i bought this book. I was very happy when i finally had the book. but i didn't get to read or start reading it until like a week or so ago.
Alhamdulillah, i finished it today.
I have to say, the book is so beneficial with so much clarification about the saved sect and many misconception about it and also many mistakes being pointed out. Alhamdulillah.
From one of the correction was about the Term: Wahabee.
Shaykh mentions his own experience and how he started learning the correct manhaj.
one of the main point by which shaykh clarifies is that: the term "wahabee" is an ascription to "Al-Wahab" - The Giver - who is Allah, it is one of the name of Allah. So Allah has blessed the wahabees with Tawheed [and guidance He has given them.] alhamdulillah.
and He says if those people who nick names people of sunnah by this name, if they were truthful, they would have said Muhammade after the name of Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab. Because then it would be after his name, but people call Wahhabe, which is not his name at all.
MaashaaAllah.
then there is another clarification that is about standing for others as glorification for them. There is one type of standing for others is permissible that is when guest comes, the head of the house stands up to receive them. [as Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam used to stand for his daughter fatimah and she used do for him]
and Shaykh mentioned many innovation and shirk that are widespread in the muslim countries, from them the great evils of Sufes who worships graves and promotes calling on other than Allah, and calls on dead and more.
it was very sad to read some of those duas that sufees makes up saying you will get this reward and that if you do such and such. may Allah guide us.
I totally recommend and suggest that we all study this book to become away of the correct creed and be warned of false creed and belief and many innovated worship which takes one out of the fold of Islam.
Save Your money and buy and benefit yourself and others inshaaAllah.

A Gift for the Intellects in Explanation of the Three Fundamental Principles of Islaam
| A Gift for the Intellects in Explanation of the Three Fundamental Principles of Islaam | by Nasrin for everyone |
| Category: | Books |
| Genre: | Religion & Spirituality |
| Author: | Shaykh 'Ubayd Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Jaabiree |
Explanation: Shaykh 'Ubayd Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Jaabiree
Paperback: 295 Pages
Published: Feb. 2007
The book before you is an explanation of a concise yet great work written by a noble Scholar of Islaam from the twelth century of Islaam, known as Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab. He compiled this work, called "The Three Fundamental Principles", in order to make clear to the people the core and fundamental principles upon which Islaam is established.
Shaikh Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab took these principles from the texts of Qur'aan and pure Prophetic Sunnah, as well as the Companions and those who succeeded them. This is why in all of the works of the Shaikh, whether small or large, you will find quote after quote from the Religious texts. Muhammad Ibn Abdul-Wahhaab is a much maligned and misrepresented Scholar. His adversaries, in his time and after expended much effort in spreading misinformation regarding his belief and methodology.
Some ascribe to him extremism; others ascribe to him deviation in belief and creed. All of this are falsehoods easily repelled by the legacy of authorship that he left behind, which clearly show that he was neither an extremist, nor a deviant, rather his works show that he was a true traditionalist in the Path of the Messenger of Allaah and his Companions.

Alhamdulillah, last night, i finally finished this book. i bought the book like 2 years now, i believe, i bought it from troid.org in my first big order from them. Alhamdulillah.
The book is very easy read maashaaAllah, the book looks big i think because of the font and arrangement of the book.
What i like about the book is the Content table of the book, maashaaAllah very comprehensive which helps you review the book very easily. Because after finishing the book, you can go back to the content table and look at all titles and recall what you learned.
Compared with Shaykh Uthaymeen explanation of this book, i would say this book is much more simple and it is brief in its explanation, however shaykh ubayd mentioned information that shaykh uthaymeen may have left out. But Shaykh uthaymeen explanation of this book is SO DETAILED and it has so much information that you need to read that book several times to have good summary of it in the head and Allah knows best.
There are some important matters that i learned and recalled:
First: the ruling of boycotting people of innovation and parties. i liked the way shaykh explained it and pointed out mistakes. The matter should be as such: one people of sunnah are dominant, then boycotting should be done effectively as there is less harm and if people of innovation and parties are dominant, then the matter of boycotting should be looked into, and it shouldn't be done when it will bring about great harm because people of hizbiyah has power to do much harm.
and i liked the point about reconciliation of two ayat on two topic that were revealed at last.
and of course there are much more into this book then i can mention:
the book is about 3 questions that will be asked in the grave, who is your lord, who is your prohet and what is your religion.
the 3 levels of deen: islam, eman and ihsan has been briefly explained and many beneficial points has been made in each.
and also in pillars of emaan.
i liked the summary points on explaining Qadr and its stages.
they are 4: that Allah knew everything, He recorded everything, and He willed and then He created.
and then it has another stages via which things are decreed:
shaykh said it is 3 levels:
1 - the life span decree [that everything is decreed for the person for his full life while in his mother's womb] from the preserve tablet - all matters are decreed for this person's life time.
2 - yearly decree - that is done in the night of qadr, all matters of the year are decreed from the preserve tablet,
3 - daily, from the preserve tablet all matters are decreed daily as to what will happen in a day.
It is a very beneficial book of aqeedah that one of us should have to expend our knowledge of our Creed. inshaaAllah.

========================================================
I found this book while i was searching through the site to find some good books for a sister, and when i came upon this book and saw it was by the dar-us-salam research division, i was so happy, because i trust their research division work very much, and i was even more happy to see the PDF sample pages of this book that had content of the book and few pages of the book. [I finished the book today after magrib, alhamdulillah]
The content table of the book caught my heart, really, it was such that i just said, it is the book of my dream, everything i thought of about raising children are found in this book. Alhamdulillah.
Sadly, the PDF sample pages file's link is broken now but check it later, they might be updating the site: http://store.dar-us-salam.com/Eng_Women/076.html
This book is amazing, it starts with first giving advice to pick a righteous spouse and then it steps that one should take to make sure the child that is gifted to them would be saved from the touch of shaytan, and then it tells you about the rights of the baby before he/she is born and then the rights after the baby is born, from naming to aqeeqa, to tahneek etc.
and then it goes into the raising of children and educating them as they grow up and what they should be taught and what they should be kept away. and then it gives like a guideline for parents and teachers as to how they should teach kids and what they should teach them and how they should be good example for them.
and then it teaches you, how you should be good toward your parents so your kids will be likewise to you.
and then there was two advices that one should to kids, that were from surah luqman from luqman's advice to his son and the hadith # 19 of 40 hadith where prophet sallallahu alayhe wasallam teaches some words to ibn abbas.
HADITH 19
On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said : One day I was behind the prophet and he said to me: "Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask of Allah; if you seek help, seek help of Allah. Know that if the Nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
narrated by Termithi, who said it is true and fine hadith
In a version other than that of Tirmithi it reads:
"..Be mindful of Allah, you will find Him before you. Get to know Allah in prosperity and He will know you in adversity. Know that what has passed you by was not going to befall you; and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by. And know that victory comes with patience, relief with affliction, and ease with hardship."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[031:013] And (remember) when Luqmân said to his son when he was advising him: "O my son! Join not in worship others with Allâh. Verily, joining others in worship with Allâh is a great Zûlm (wrong) indeed.
[031:014] And We have enjoined on man (to be dutiful and good) to his parents. His mother bore him in weakness and hardship upon weakness and hardship, and his weaning is in two years – give thanks to Me and to your parents. To Me is the final destination.
[031:015] But if they (both) strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not; but behave with them in the world kindly, and follow the path of him who turns to Me in repentance and in obedience. Then to Me will be your return, and I shall tell you what you used to do.
[031:016] "O my son! If it be (anything) equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and though it be in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth, Allâh will bring it forth. Verily, Allâh is Subtle (in bringing out that grain), Well-Acquainted (with its place).
[031:017] "O my son! Aqim-is-Salât (perform prayers), enjoin (on people) Al-Ma'rûf (Islâmic Monotheism and all that is good), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief in the Oneness of Allâh, polytheism of all kinds and all that is evil and bad), and bear with patience whatever befalls you. Verily, these are some of the important commandments (ordered by Allâh with no exemption).
[031:018] "And turn not your face away from men with pride, nor walk in insolence through the earth. Verily, Allâh likes not any arrogant boaster.
[031:019] "And be moderate (or show no insolence) in your walking, and lower your voice. Verily, the harshest of all voices is the braying of the asses."
-----------------------------------------------------------
some of the things that are to be taught to the children are:
- truthfulness
- tawheed & shirk
- warning against lying, cheating, ghiba, foul language
- respect for elders and scholars
- love for seeking knowledge
- respecting parents and being dutiful to them
-----------------------------------------------------------------
- teaching the boys their role from the young age so they grow up with strong personality and responsible
- teaching girls their role, so they grow up with modesty and shyness
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- separating the beds for children if possible, if not then give them separate sheet at least, it is better to have a room for girls and a room for boys
---------------------------------------------------------------------
This part is the most important matter to take care of in my opinion during the young age, which leads to many sins and corruptions. Many parents show no care and do not teach the kids about these matters at all.
page # 19:
Children at the age of ten to twenty grow physically faster than mentally. their desires respond to natural motivation without understanding the consequences of their spontaneous responses, nor are they able to control their desires unless Allah guards them.
it is for this reason, the Prophet sallallahu alayhe wa sallam instructed us to put them (boys and girls) in separate beds once they reached the age of ten. This calls for paying attention to the following points:
1. parents must make sure that none of their children should notice any form of conjugal contact between them lest they copy them.
2. separate male and female children according to the propeht's instructions.
3. children should never be allowed to watch provocative movies or shows. if one of them happens to see a thing of this nature, his parents should warn him against such a danger and remind him of Allah and His punishment for watching it.
4. parents should monitor their children' company and friends, and if they are a negative influence, they should keep them away from them, and should help them choose for them better friends.
This is a very serious matters, and many things take place and i even hard a case from a speaker in his lecture that he mentioned. and some parents allow kids to watch TV from the baby age as 1 or earlier such that by the time they are 4 or 5, maashaaAllah, they are so mature and adult and they talk with so much advance talk subhan Allah.
May Allah guide us and make us righteous parents and guardians and some parents fill their ears of babies with music. audhu billah.
--------------------------------------
Teaching good manners to the children from the very young age is very important as well.
The book ends with a very good summary and then it lists some ayat and ahadeeth related to raising kids and responsibility of this task.
Overall, this book is an excellent book, in 55 pages it contains for you wealth of knowledge that we should apply every single words from it. may Allah grant us tawpiq ameen.
May Allah grant us beneficial knowledge and righteous actions. Ameen

I have not taken delight in their praise nor have I hated their criticism
Maalik bin Dinaar: ‘Since I have known (the reality of) people, I have not taken delight in their praise nor have I hated their criticism.’ It was said to him, ‘Why is that?’ He said, ‘The one who praises from amongst them is excessive and the critic from amongst them exaggerates!" [Tarikh Dimishq (59/307)
I encouraged my soul to aspire for
A man said to al-Hasan al-Basree (rahimahullaah) : ‘The people sit around you so that they may find fault with you!’ So he said, ‘Indeed, I encouraged my soul to aspire for Paradise so it aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from Hellfire and so it aspired for it. Then I encouraged it to aspire for salvation from the people, but I didn’t find a way to that. Indeed the people were not pleased with their Creator although He provides for them, so how can they be pleased with another creation like themselves?’ [Al-Bidayah wal-Nihayah (9/318 )]
