"We do not accuse anyone among the people of the qiblah of disbelief for any sin, so long as he does not deem it lawful, because of his (SAW) saying ‘Do not accuse the people of your qiblah of disbelief:" What is meant by ‘the people of the qiblah’ is those who both pray towards the Kaaba and are convinced of the entire Sacred Law conveyed by the Prophet gf. This is why the author previously said, ‘We declare those who face our qiblah to be Muslims [...] so long as they continue to acknowledge what the Prophet (SAW) conveyed’

A [believing] slave does not leave the faith [of Islam] except by rejecting what caused him to enter therein, because disbelief and faith are opposites: one is not nullified except by doing the other; and because a believer only became a believer and entered the faith [of Islam] through conviction and affirmation. Hence he does not become a disbeliever and leave the faith [of Islam] except by rejection and denial. Even if he were to commit an enormity, so long as he has sure belief, conviction and faith, he remains a believer. No one is adjudged a disbeliever until it is known from him that he patently denies what rendered him a believer [in the first place]."

Excerpt from: Imam al-Tahawi’s Creed of Islam: An Exposition

"Creeds articulate the principal points that define a person’s faith and explicate the fundamental convictions concerning Allah, His prophets, scriptures, angels and eschatological truths. These are essential in that they provide clarity about one's belief and guard one against theological heterodoxies and aberrations. They form the basis for a person's acts of worship, without which such actions are of no avail. The Prophet, in many of his sayings, issued a dire warning against aberrancy and innovation. He g& said, ‘Whoever then dissents will dissent into Hell? (narrated by al-Hakim) and ‘Allah will not accept prayer, fasting, charity, hajj, umrah, jihad and voluntary and obligatory actions (sarf wa ‘adl) from an innovator. He will be removed from Islam just as a hair is removed from dough: (Narrated by al-Bayhaqi.)

...The Creed of Imam Abi Ja‘far al-Tahawi (d. 321/933) is arguably the most acclaimed and universally accepted, It is, moreover, one of the earliest works on creed; and its enduring appeal among Sunni scholarly circles is attested by the numerous commentaries written on it, the various languages it has been translated into, and the many Islamic seminaries at which it is the primary creedal text that is taught."

This book brings the first English translation of the 10th-century work of Abu Naim al-Isfahani (Asfahani).

Imam At-Tahawi's Al-'Aqidah, representative of the viewpoint of Ahlus-Sunnah wa'l-Jama'ah, has long been the most widely acclaimed, and indeed indispensable, reference work on Muslim beliefs.

"Begin by learning about Imam Abu Hanifa as an individual, then about the Hanafi school and its history and then in comparison with the other schools. This will help establish the foundation upon which the school is based. If you are from another madhab this is especially important as you will have certain preconceptions."

A gunman sat in a car in front of the home of the spiritual leader of Utah’s largest mosque Monday evening, waiting for the cleric to enter or leave after sunset prayers.

He then started shooting, firing multiple rounds.

All of them missed Imam Shuaib Din, who heads the Utah Islamic Center in West Jordan, near the border of Sandy.

“Obviously, he knew my house, knew my car, knew my schedule,” Din told The Salt Lake Tribune on Tuesday morning.

On Monday, Din decided to break his fast with his family at his home, which is about two minutes from the mosque.

As soon as the imam pulled out of his garage to return to the mosque for 7:45 p.m. prayers, he said, the gunman — wearing a mask and hoodie — got out of his car, shot at him and took off.

Berkata Al-Imam Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullah:

“Yang telah berlalu tidaklah dihilangkan dengan bersedih hati. Akan tetapi dihilangkan dengan ridha, kerelaan, memuji Allah, bersabar, beriman kepada takdir, serta mengucapkan:

قَدَرَ اللَّهُ وَمَا شَاءَ فَعَلَ (Qadarallāhu wa mā syā’a fa‘al)

— Semua ini adalah takdir Allah, dan Allah melakukan apa yang Dia kehendaki.”

"950 year old Prophet" and the case for Reincarnation in the Quran

The Secret of God’s Most Beautiful Names presents, for the first time in English, two of the most profound teachings on the 99 Names: Ibn ʿArabī’s Kashf al-maʿnā, depicting each of the Names according to three complementary perspectives; and The Summary, drawn from his Futūḥāt al-Makkiyya. A comprehensive introduction and notes are provided alongside the translation and edition of the Arabic text.

The Prophet ﷺ recommended having suhoor (“Have suhoor, for in suhoor there is blessing.” – Bukhari & Muslim) — it helps maintain energy and prevents discomfort, including headaches.

In the wake of the recent hostilities in Palestine, there’s a discernible shift in media narratives.

The objective of this media pivot is clear: to shape global sentiments against Muslims, potentially leveraging international support. Given that global attention has, over the last few years, been divided between the pandemic and geopolitical events such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, if this narrative can be used to reignite concerns about radical Islam, they’ll take that as a win.

It’s troubling to witness some groups taking advantage of heart-wrenching footage to try and sway the uninformed—those whose gravest concerns might otherwise have been waiting in a long queue at McDonald’s or the pressures of work.
