Sheikh Abu Usama invites the youth to attend a three day conference focusing on deriving beneficial knowledge and practical solutions for modern challenges from the stories from the scripture.

https://www.ilmcon.org/plainfield The Muslim world is the last moral holdout against the LGBTQXYZ agenda. Shutting down the Liberal LGBTQXYZ social revolution must be done with wisdom, sincerity and mercy. Guidance in this cause should come from the scripture, and needs bold and brave leadership who are unafraid of the woke zombie hordes.

This special video by Daniel Haqiqatjou was banned by other platforms as hate speech. I feel it speaks the truth. This liberal plan has already been 90% accomplished in North America. Only the Muslims and conservative Christians stand in the way of societal destruction as Sodom and Ghamora were destroyed. The first step to resist this evil is to be informed.

Session one of our newest study "The Three Fundamentals," essential knowledge for the Muslim. The first session taught by Ustadh Abdul-Rahman focused on the preliminary lines: "In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. Know, may Allah have mercy on you...". From the explanation of several of the highest scholars of aqeedah in the modern era.

Can we see God on Earth? Will we see God in the hereafter?

What is the Qur'an? What does it mean to Muslims?

Issues in this video: 1. We are successful in understanding monotheism if we submit to what our Creator affirmed about Himself, and we avoid contesting it with our intellect. 2. Our creator has perfect knowledge of His creation without the need to enter into the creation. He is all knowing from above His throne above the heavens.

Academic virtue is not in diving into questions which bring no benefit, or questions which are beyond our capacity, or to invent theories and substantiate them with rhetoric and stylistic language. Academic virtue in theology is to pursue the truth accept and to submit to the truth which our Creator revealed concerning His attributes, His names, and issues of faith that are not completely perceivable or knowable by us. Asking questions about the essence of Allah, the day or judgment, the paradise and hellfire bring no benefit and are beyond our comprehension. Delving into these issues may lead us to negating or distorting what Allah has revealed about these issues. We believe the reality of these issues as Allah described them, and as He revealed upon the prophet Muhammad (peace upon him), and we do not raise questions or formulate theories about the details which Allah has kept to Himself.

Do you know Ramadan, or are you 'not-yet-Muslim'? Are you a Muslim preparing a plan to maximize the benefits of the coming month of fasting and worship? Ramadan is one lunar month of fasting, prayer and giving in charity. Fasting this month is one of the five pillars of worship, just as earlier monotheistic communities fasted. In this month Muslims give charity, and pray throughout the night and review their memorization of the Qur'an, the last revealed scripture.

Be careful of creating small new habits in your worship; be careful of inventing your own methods and theories. If you intend something as worship which is not from the unchanged revealed word of God or His guided prophets, then know that a small innovated act becomes a large act which is very far from Monotheism. The straight path, the path of truth is only that which was revealed from our Creator; and the path is not one we fabricate according to our own innovated desires.

Among the reliable methods of finding, learning and following the most effective theology to connect self with Creator, is to build knowledge on evidence from primary sources. Assuming a piece of scripture is an original preserved and unchanged source (such as the Quran) then we can say this is a primary source of evidence for building knowledge of, and connection to, our Lord. First person testimony by a reliable witness of the coming of scriptural revelation upon a prophet might also be considered a primary source for theology study. An example of a textual evidence which is not a primary source might be the Synoptic Gospels, the books known as Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which the majority of Christian scholars agree were not testimonials written by first person witnesses. Rather they were biographical constructs written from oral traditions by authors who did not witness the prophet 'Isa (Jesus, upon whom I invoke peace and blessings). The testimony of the companions of the prophet Muhammad (upon whom I invoke peace and blessings) are known and corroborated by a rigorous science of narrative studies(a science which actually influenced the academic standards of citations to support an argument). The study of Islamic theology, gaining knowledge of how to connect with our Creator, is reliable when it is build on the Qur'an and the hadith (narrative statements) of first person testimony of pious individuals who witnessed the revelation of scriptures. This means the Sunnah, must be learned according to the understanding of the Sahaba.

From an English study circle focused on a chapter of 'The Book of Monotheism'. We love and respect free speech. However, the relation between free speech and freedom of worship is in a constant dynamic relation. Certainly no one should be forced to censor their criticism of a religion they do not believe. What events in the time of the prophet Muhammad (upon whom I invoke peace and blessings) sheds light on the relation between free speech and religion? How did the prophet react to those who ridiculed him?

Our Creator, Allah Exalted has attributes, and essence. These are described and affirmed by Allah in the Qur'an, and are explained by the prophets. The attributes are unique and perfect, and are not like the attributes of the creation. Allah sees.... and the human eye may see. Only Allah sees everything at all times in a way suitable to His majesty. Explaining similar attributes with philosophy, metaphor, or abstaining from the meaning of the attributes is a negation of our Creators Majesty.

What does it mean to be created 'in the image of God'? Does this phrase make a similitude between Creator and creation? How do we reconcile this phrase with the concept that our Creator is unlike anything in creation? Our Creator must be worshiped without associationism, or raising partners with Him in worship; not because He needs to be worshiped, but because we benefit from it, and we were created for it.

Rhetoric, Debate and Argument Does Not Bring Unity Debate, and argument and flowery discourse will not unite people upon one monotheistic creed; and if it does bring them together in an interfaith effort it will not be upon the way of pure monotheism. This is because the path of pure monotheism (tawhid) towards our Creator is a single path, and its method is a process relying upon the truth. Allah said: “But no, by your Lord, they will not [truly] believe until they make you, [O Muhammad], judge concerning that over which they dispute among themselves and then find within themselves no discomfort from what you have judged and submit in [full, willing] submission,” [sūrat l-nisāa (The Women), 4:65, Sahih International trans.]. Truth is the light of guidance from Divine Revelation, while debate and argument mix the truth with falsehood and innovation. Argument must end with revealed evidence. Thus for the argument between different creedal groups within Islam we bring a statement of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam. He said: “‘No people have gone astray after the guidance they used to follow except because of their engagement in disputes.’ Then he sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam recited the verse (what means): {They did not present the comparison except for [mere] argument. But, [in fact], they are a people prone to dispute.} [Quran 43:58]” [Ibn Majah, Al-Albani - Hasan]

In our method of explaining Creed, including the actions of our Creator, His Names and Attributes, issues of the unseen and the hereafter and other issues in aqeedah, we do not rely on Metaphor or Analogy. Rather our method stops at revealed evidence. Our understanding of the revealed evidence is limited to what was revealed, as it was explained by the companions of the prophet, and they did not ask about our Creator, "How", or "Why." Neither did they interpret issues of creed using analogy or metaphor.

Abandoning the Sunnah is a destructive calamity. The Sunnah means 'the way', and it is the way of living and teaching monotheism as exemplified by all of the prophets from Adam, to Moses, to Jesus and finally Muhammad (upon all of whom I invoke peace and blessings). These teachings are complete and without contradictions or deficiencies, so that if any of it is abandoned, its place will be taken by a destructive innovated practice. Likewise adapting an innovation, even one which appears beautiful, will distract a worshiper from the rewards of following the path of Submission to our Creator.

Question: Is your faith complete if you say "I am Muslim?" Answer: "O you who have believed, enter into Islam completely [and perfectly] and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. Indeed, he is to you a clear enemy." [Baqarah, 2:208, Sahih International trans.]

The Qur'an and the Sunnah explain the reliable path of monotheistic worship. We have One Creator, who purposed this creation only for worship, and our Creator did not abandon us; rather, God sent down guidance to help us perfect our worship. Perfect worship is pure monotheism, worshiping the One Creator without associating partners with Him in our worship. Errors which pull us away from affirming monotheism are many, but fall into two categories.These categories are outlined, God Willing, in the video.

We will not complete the religion with our insights. Allah completed the religion of Islam; it is only upon us to submit to our creator, and abandon arrogance. Allah, the Perfect and Exalted said: "And if the truth had been in accordance with their desires, verily, the heavens and the earth, and whosoever is therein would have been corrupted! Nay, We have brought them their reminder, but they turn away from their reminder." [Qur’an, 23:71] Whoever chooses to develop nearness with our Creator should not turn away from the reminders in the Qur’an and Sunnah. We must cling to the truth in the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (upon whom I invoke peace and blessings). Allah exalted promised that the Qur’an will always be unchanged. He said: “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur'an and indeed, We will be its guardian.” [Qur’an, 15:9] Personal theories about Islam have no value in this life or the next, they are transient and replaceable by the next generations rhetoric. The Qur’an will always remain unchanged. The greatest scholars of Islam would say that their own opinion is meaningless, and destructive. This is because whoever makes something permissible or makes something forbidden without a proof from the book of Allah or the Sunnah has made himself co-equal with The Creator, the only true Legislator. The most knowledgeable scholar of Islam must only explain the evidences, not fabricate rhetoric. It is arrogance to follow opinion and desire while there were prophets sent with guidance, and books revealed.

Issues of spiritual and corporeal guidance and misguidance are known [in the texts of the Qur'an and Sunnah], and there is no excuse to be upon misguidance. Ignorance of our Creator is something that separates us from our Creator, and prevents us from great reward in this life and the next. This is why seeking spiritually beneficial knowledge is mandatory upon a Muslim. It is part of our worship to seek authentic knowledge of Monotheism, and not to fabricate or innovate what we desire. Knowledge, is divided into 6 categories*: 1. Knowledge or comprehension of a real thing, with certainty. 2. Settled belief. Comprehension of something,while contrary positions exist which are less likely to be true. 3. Slight ignorance, or absence of full comprehension. 4. Doubt. To think that you comprehend something, yet you are aware of contrary positions which could possibly be true. 5. Delusion, or to think that one comprehends something despite the presence of that which should cause you to realize that you are incorrect. 6. Compounded ignorance, or comprehension in a way contrary to true reality. You may not know that you are in ignorance. [*Uthaymin, Usool ath Thalatha] The Qur'an and Sunnah are sources which bring an individual out of ignorance and towards the settled belief, and real knowledge of the meaning of this life. This evidence, (The Qur'an and the Sunnah) is available, and gaining knowledge of it is worship; Using these tools in sincerity, and without innovating new methods of worship is liberating because it brings one closer to our Creator. That is the freedom of Islam.

This short video is a summarized explanation of the first statement of the book "Sharh as Sunnah" (explanation of the Way) by Imam al Barbahari. The word "Sunnah" means the way, and practice and comprehensive belief system of the prophet Muhammad (upon whom I invoke peace and blessings). Specifically, it means those actions, statements and beliefs which were revealed to guide a worshiper to connect to The Creator. These teachings of Muhammad at a theological level are the same as the teachings of Jesus and Moses and Adam, upon whom I invoke peace and blessings. There is no Islam (submission to God) without following these revealed teachings.

Summary of the explanation of the second statement by al imam al Barbahari in his treatise 'Sharh us Sunnah' (explanation of the way). This second statement emphasizes obedience to the leader; the misguidance of revolt/coup/division; and adherence to the community which is established upon authentic revealed guidance. These principles are from the necessary foundation in the study of Islamic theology.
