Know Your Lord: 2nd Edition – The Right Belief Series

Know Your Lord: 2nd Edition - The Right Belief Series

The title Know Your Lord cannot be understood without defining the scope of the terms involved. The guided way a person may acquire knowledge about Allah is through Revelation. No one can see Allah in this world, so knowledge of Him must come through Revelation and not perception. This statement automatically discounts divinity from objects and humans and brings us a big step closer to knowing our Lord through the pursuit of knowledge. The Prophet said, “Be informed that none of you can see Allah until you die” ( Sahih Muslim).The Prophet made that statement in the context of warning us against the Anti-Christ (Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal) who will try to convince people that he is God.The point of the Prophet‘s warning is that if a person claims to be God in this life, then that person is automatically a liar. 

When one looks at the creation of Allah, two conclusions are inescapable: there must be a Creator, and the attributes and qualities of the creation cannot be equal or like the Creator. This means that we cannot gain any knowledge about Allah and the reward that ensues from fidelity to that knowledge except through that which comes to us from Allah Himself through Revelation.

Lā ilāha illa Allāh: Worship Your Lord – 2nd Edition

Lā ilāha illa Allāh: Worship Your Lord – 2nd Edition

When I wrote the first edition of this book, "Worship Your Lord," which is the second book of the Right Belief Series, I indented to connect Volume I "Know Your Lord" with Volume II "Worship Your Lord." I am simply saying the correct knowledge of Allah (s.w.t) must lead to worshipping Him. I also intend for the content to help the readers familiarize themselves with the different categories of Monotheism (Tawheed). I intend to simplify the subject of Monotheism (Tawheed), which can help advance the Call of Monotheism (Tawheed), especially for Muslims living in the West. Furthermore, this book will acquaint Muslims with the methodology of understanding of the faithful adherents (Ahlu Sunnah Wal Jama'ah) to the Quran and the Prophetic Tradition (Sunnah).

Until recently, something shocking happened. A Layman Muslim asked Yasir Qadhi the following question: “What is the ruling on invoking the engraved saints (Awlyia)?”

Yasir Qadhi answered him publicly, saying, “…The second opinion is the opinion that invoking the saints (Awliya)… it is Haram (Unlawful), and it is evil, and evil innovation, a religions innovation, a Bid’ah, and it is a steppingstone to Shirk (Polytheism). It is opening the doors to Shirk (Polytheism). But it is not Shirk (Polytheism) in and of itself unless that action is accompanied by a belief that you are calling out to a god. I myself am an advocate of this second position.”

It was shocking to witness someone who is knowingly and willfully encouraging grave worshiping when it is a clear-cut demolition of the Universal Declaration of Faith (Lā ilāha illa Allāh). Yet the hearts of his fans, loyalists remain neutral, and their tongues remain silent?

Lā ilāha illa Allāh comprises two pillars: the complete negation of any form of worship to others than Allah (s.w.t), and the unquestionable and firm affirmation of all forms of worship only to Allah (s.w.t). Yasir Qadhi is a learned person who used to be amongst those whom Allah (s.w.t) honored to defend and preserve this Declaration (Kalimah), but now says that worshiping the graves is everything terrible, evil, sin, innovation, a steppingstone, and a door opener, but not Polytheism (Shirk).

Meanwhile, many people’s dilemmas, including his Facebook fans and other learned Shaykhs in his circle, secure their livelihoods and prestige. So, do they have no care for what happens to the religion?

What benefits does one gain from his adherence to the religion, what good is left in him towards Allah (s.w.t), His religion, and His Messenger (s.a.w) when he sees Allah’s (s.w.t) boundaries and sacredness being transgressed?

Hence, I decided to introduce a revised second edition of the book titled ‘Lā ilāha illa Allāh,’ and to include two additional parts to address and refute Yasir Qadhi’s recent grave worship blunder. I ask Allah (s.w.t) to make this work of benefit to Muslims, including our brother Yasir Qadhi. May Allah (s.w.t) guide us all. Ameen.

Let’s pray the Prophet’s way – 2nd Edition

Let’s pray the Prophet’s way – 2nd Edition

Al-Hamdullillah, Let's Pray the Prophet's Way was very well received by readers worldwide. Many brothers and sisters from around the globe wrote emails commenting on the efforts; We ask Allah (s.w.t) to accept our efforts. However, Allah (s.w.t) loves those when they do something that they perfect it to the best of their abilities. Hence, we decided to introduce a 2nd edition of the book.

The 2nd edition of Let's Pray the Prophet's Way provides an illustrated way of performing the five daily obligatory prayers (Salawaat) as well as the voluntary-regular and occasional prayers. Performing prayers sincerely for the sake of Allah (s.w.t) and in conformity with the Prophet's Tradition (Sunnah) is a must to validate it and hope for Allah's (s.w.t) acceptance.

We also updated the design of this book in a different way. We used multiple colors and fonts to place distinctions to the essential information in a sentence or a paragraph. Nevertheless, we did our very best to make the reader’s experience quite pleasant.

Let’s Pray the Prophet’s Way provides a comprehensive depiction of the way the Prophet (s.a.w) used to pray based on valid and adequate pieces of evidence from his Tradition (Sunnah). We thoroughly revised each prayer’s (Salah) element and updated chapters with new material as it was necessary. May Allah (s.w.t) succeed us in our efforts. Ameen.
