"I know some people who were salafi and used to be rigid and excessive in some matters. They would regularly offend whomever disagreed with them. When times and circumstances changed, they turned asharis but their temperament and belligerence remained the same. The only part which truly changed is their newly adopted beliefs.
I know several of them.
Change your ways and your mentality, and hold onto the truth in its entirety. Do not add to the ummah's tribulations."
Shaykh Hassan bin Ali Al Kettani
أعرف أناسا كانوا سلفيين وكان عندهم تشدد في بعض الأبواب وتهجم غير حكيم على من خالفهم فيه. فلما تغيرت الظروف وتحولت الأحوال أصبحوا أشاعرة ولكن بقيت طباعهم ومعاركهم تدار بنفس الأسلوب السابق والذي تغير هو مذهبهم الجديد.
اعرف العديد من هؤلاء.
غير عقليتك وطريقتك وتمسك بالحق المجمل ولا تزد الأمة فتنا على فتنها.

"Enemies of Islam make up laws allowing to do all sort of harmful things. Yet, when it comes to orders and prohibitions revealed by the Almighty, they start mocking. Their mind create laws. If we stand firm on the sacred laws of Allah, we will attain happiness in this life and hereafter"

⚠️ Clarification on tawassul, istighatha and dua ⚠️
by shaykh Hassan bin Ali Al Kettani (Morocco)_
*﷽* Some confusions have recently re-emerged around issues of utmost importance as they concern the oneness of Allah ﷻ and creator of all things. Many of my beloved brothers and respected sisters have had questions around dua, tawassul and istighatha.
These concepts are often confused and words from our righteous scholars misinterpreted.
To make the matter simple, we can identify three cases:
1 - Asking Allah by mentioning the status of the Prophet ﷺ. Many scholars have allowed this practice, even though others forbade it as they saw it as unbefitting to mention any name other than Allah’s names when supplicating Him and by virtue of the principle of “sadd adh-dhara'i'” (blocking the means) which the malikis and others rely on. According to this principle, an action which can lead to harm should be prevented. *When observing the reality, we can see that this permissible practice is often a stepping stone to falling into other forms of dua which are impermissible, innovated or even shirk.* Therefore, prohibiting this practice in order to block the means to evil is a wise opinion.
2 - The second case is related to Muslims who ask the Prophet (peace be upon him) or righteous people who have passed away to intercede for them while they are in their grave. They ask them to ask Allah on their behalf. *This is evil and a clear innovation.* It comes very close to the mindset of the polytheists as described in the Quran when they justified worshiping idols by saying “We only worship them so that they may bring us nearer to Allah in position." *This practice is at the verge of shirk but falls short of it*. It is based on false interpretation of certain authentic texts related to the life of Prophets in their grave or martyrs being alive.
3- The third case is those who ask righteous people who have passed away to fulfil their needs. *This is shirk akbar and a great calamity for a person's religion.*
_I remind all my brothers that labeling someone a kafir or a mushrik is another matter and an issue of qadha (judgment). It is for qualified experts to analyse the actions and explore if excuses are applicable before passing a judgement. Therefore, you are only required to learn the concepts to protect yourself from falling into mistakes and wisely advise others._
I would like to end with two pieces of advice:
The first is to my beloved brothers and respected sisters: *let’s return to the simplicity and purity of worship of the early generations who focused on sound practices and good deeds away from ambiguities.*
Let’s remind ourselves of the beautiful invitation of Allah ﷻ himself:
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِى عَنِّى فَإِنِّى قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا۟ لِى وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا۟ بِى لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
“And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.”
Let’s act upon the authentic saying of the best of Mankind ﷺ:
“If you ask, ask from Allah. If you seek help, seek help from Allah.”
My second advice is to the scholars, teachers and students of knowledge who strive to preserve and transmit this deen: *you have a responsibility to be mindful of your words and their impact on your listeners*. Your words can either guide or misguide. Avoid opening up topics which will create confusion for people.
And Allah knows best

May Allah make us of one of the two, the Rabbaniyeen or the Tulaab. And may Allah keep us from being like the Ruwaybidah and the Rebel, ameen!
Ali Ibn Abee Talib (Allah be pleased with him) told his student KUMAIL IBN ZiYAAD :-
“....Oh Kumail ibn Ziyad!
The hearts are receptacles, so the best of them is the one which preserves the best (things).
So memorise what I say to you.
"The people are of three (types) :-
The SCHOLAR who is Rabbaany (the learned scholar that has authentic knowledge and acts by it).
The STUDENT OF KNOWLEDGE who is learning. He’s on the path of salvation,.
The CONFUSED, REBEL ROUSER who follows everyone who screams out - he bends with every wind - they are not enlightened by the light of knowledge, nor do they lean upon a firm support..”
*Abu Nu'aym in Hilyatu'l-Awliya (1/79-80) - al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi in Al-Faqih wa'l-Mutafaqqih (1/49-50) - Ibn Kathir in Al-Bidayah wa'n-Nihayah (9/47).

The #Ummah lost one of its leading scholars today...
The Mufassir, Sheikh Muhammad Ali al-Sabuni passed away today.
Sheikh Al-Sabuni was one of few Syrian scholars who travelled the Muslim world to highlight the brutal oppression of Bashar al-Assad and tried to correct the misconceptions among Muslims that Syrian oppression is not bad.
May Allah grant him Jannatul Firdous, Ameen!

Every minute someone leaves this world behind. We are all in “the line” without knowing it. We never know how many people are before us. *We cannot*
move to the back of the line … step out of the line … avoid the line.
*So, while we wait in line:*
Make moments count … make someone smile … make the needed change in your life … make peace … tell others you love them … make sure you do not do something you will regret.
*Most importantly*
*MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY*
