‘Ali at-Tamimi: “The Zeal to Guide Vs. the Zeal to Judge” July 29, 2008

Posted by Ghuraba in : Ghuraba, Muslims, Naseeha, knowledge , add a comment

Salaam Alaaykum WarahmatullahThis was taken From a lecture by ‘Ali at-Tamimi, titled ‘Intellection Confusion of the Muslim Youth’:

 

“The fourth cause which leads to intellectual confusion amongst the youth is the lack of zeal to order, to guide the people. In other words, instead of being zealous for the guidance of people, often, the youth were zealous for judging the people, zealous for passing out judgements: ‘Well, he’s astray, and he’s on the guidance, and he’s, well, he’s OK, but he’s not quite there, and this one is 10%, and this one, OK, he’s 13.2%,’ and so forth, and so on.

This is not the way of Allah’s Prophet. This is not the way of the Prophet’s Companions. Rather, they used to seek to guide the people, and Allah Said to the Prophet, in order to console him: {“…So, do not ruin yourself out of sadness for them…”} [Fatir; 8] See, the Prophet would be so sad when the people wouldn’t accept the message, it used to affect him physically. So, Allah Tells him: “Do not allow yourself to be in such a state, that you are almost losing yourself out of sadness because they are not guided.”

This is how the Prophet was.

Unfortunately, some of the youth take pleasure, they take glee; it’s almost as if it gives them some sort of energy, some sort of, you know, happiness that they can judge somebody, and say: ‘OK, you’re a person of bid’ah,’ ‘OK, he’s astray.’ But, if they knew what they were saying, and if they realized the seriousness of the word, first of all, they wouldn’t be so quick to judge. And second of all, even if they were correct in their judgement, they should be taken with sadness, because if that man is astray - if that person is truly a person of heresy - then, he is facing a very deadly doom in the Hereafter, and one should be saddened in wanting to guide him, not happy to see him in that state.”

Niger Delta
Militants from the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) patrol the creeks of Bonny river near the LNG plant in Bonny on the oil rich Niger delta region July 18, 2008. The Nigerian government said on Thursday it would set up a committee of Niger Delta leaders to propose recommendations on ending violence in the oil-producing region so that long-awaited peace talks can take place.

Book Review 2: Madarij al Salikeen by Ibn al Qayim July 1, 2008

Salaam Alaaykum Warahmatullah,

By Anwar Al-Awlaki

 

Madarij al Salikeen by Ibn al Qayim:

This is a three Volume book which represents one of the greatest works produced on the topic of spirituality. I had already read the book along time ago and was fascinated by it. When I was in jail and was thinking about what books to order when I would be allowed to do so, this book seemed to be the right thing to read in my present circumstances. Steadfastness was what was needed now, and steadfastness was a deed of the heart, so it was the heart that I should focus on.

When the opportunity arrived and I was allowed to order books it was on the top of my reading list.

The author starts by giving tafsir of surat al Fatiha. The rest of the book are the stages that the traveller moves through in “???? ???? ????? ??????” “You do we worship and You do we seek help from” [Fatiha, v5]

The book is based on a book written by Abu Ismail al-Ansari al-Harawi al-Sufi who was a Hanbali scholar from Hirat in modern day Afghanistan. The name of his book is Manazil al-Sa’ireen (the Stations of the Travellers). Imam Abu Ismail named one hundred stations that the traveller during his journey to Allah passes through.

The first station is “al-Yaqadhah” “The Waking up” This is when the heart wakes up from the slumber of unawareness. The next station is the station of “Azm” “The Resolve,” after the heart has woken up it decides to embark on its journey towards Allah.

Some of the stations that he mentions: The station of Fear, Repentance, Observation, Hope, Sincerity, Purification, Trust, Submission, Fortitude, Gratitude, Will, Certainty, Trust, Knowledge, Wisdom, Tranquillity, Purity, Drowning, Absence, Life, and Love.

The language of ibn al Qayim in his books is eloquent. But in this book his language is so high class that it represents the peak of his writing. This book is simply untranslatable. The terminology that he uses and the fascinating way of putting the concepts together would make any translation lose a portion of its beauty during the process. Now I don’t mean here by eloquence the beauty of the words and the use of a flowery style of writing but I mean the ability of the author to express complicated thoughts and sophisticated concepts, and what would otherwise be difficult to express, into readable words that not only are understood by the reader but captivate him and make him feel that the author is reading his inner thoughts and is seeing through into the depths of his heart to see his ailment and prescribe the cure.

Ibn al Qayim after mentioning the verses of Quran and hadiths blends his words with the words of Abu Ismail al-Ansari , whom he would refer to as shaykh-ul-Islam, along with the sayings of the great scholars of the heart such as: al Junaid, AbdulQadir al Jaylaani, al Tasturi, and al Fudhail bin Iyadh.

There are so many words of wisdom and valuable teachings in this book that are waiting to be observed and lived by.

May Allah bless us all and provide us with wisdom and guide us to righteous acts. We ask Allah to shower his mercy upon our great scholars whom Allah has made the instruments of teaching us the truth and guiding us towards the straight path. Ameen
