The Status of the Sunnah in Islaam • The terms/words sunnah, Salafi, etc. are all praiseworthy • 2 types of sinners • The Sinner who is aware the he is sinful • This individual commits sins while knowing himself to be sinful, and is under the threat of punishment • This is because he is opposing the command of Allah, and the Sunnah of the Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) • This individual may be led to success through Tawbah/Repentance • The other is the sinner who leaves off the Sunnah due to doubts • This individual is considered to be from the people of desires and they are worse than the first, as he will believe he is upon the truth and will not repent/make Tawbah • You must question the deeds that you have put forth • The Sunnah is of great value, like treasure is in a worldly sense, so one must protect it • The Companions were the original protectors of the Sunnah, and they are all trustworthy • People become higher in our view when they are praised by scholars and trustworthy people, so what about the Companions, who were praised by Allah in multiple places in the Qur'ān • Those who question the character about the Companions are doing so in order to bring about doubts about the Sunnah • Anas Ibn Mālik narrated little from the Messenger (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam) out of fear of narrating that which is not from the Sunnah, and he was from the Mukthireen (Those who narrated the most) • Narration: “Whoever lies about me intentionally, then let him take his seat in the fire.” • The Companions didn't just narrate whatever they heard, unlike many speakers today • People have been afflicted by their desire for fame/leadership, so they speak without confirming that they are narrating from the Sunnah • That which you narrate can be a means for someone's guidance/salvation, so be sure of it! • Study/Revision of the Hadith brings it to life • The Messenger of Allah (sallallāhu alaihi wa sallam) said, “There will not cease to be a group of my Ummah uppermost upon the truth. They will not be harmed by those who forsake them, until Allah's affair comes to pass and they are uppermost.” [Reported by Muslim]' • The people of Hadith are the people who will be saved from the misguides and the fire, so upon you is to be amongst them, therefore study: • The Book of Allah • The Sunnah • The lives of the companions • The Tābi'een • The Tābi Tābi'een • The A'Imma (Scholars upon the Sunnah, the Muhaddithīn, Mufassirīn, etc.) • Within all of this revelation and commentary of it, is a means for a person's Istiqāma

The 3 fundamental Principles Believers call upon Allah with Raghbah (Love & Desire) and Reverential Fear (Khawf) Humility خشوا & خشيا Awe Fear has two types: - Natural Fear - Reverential Fear The ‘Ulamā possess the most fear of Allāh The believe in Allāh, His Book, and His Messenger, and they act upon that knowledge One must have knowledge of Allāh to Fear Him From the Qur'ān “Do not fear them, but Fear Me” ‘Inābah - Submission Recognising the deficit in one's fulfilment of Allah's rights is encouragement for the believer to strive in doing more & better deeds. ‘Isti'ānah - Appealing for Aid and Assistance from Allāh This cannot be directed to other than Allah Anything you seek can only be provided by Alläh, so you must turn to Him Seeking the means is permissible, but one must ask Allah for aid & success “To You Alone we Worship, and to You Alone do we seek help” - Fātihah Isti'āthah - Seeking refuge with Allah Istighāthah - Seeking Aid from Allah when in great need If directed to other than Allah, then it must be from sought from one that is: 1. Able 2. Present 3. If not Present, then they take the Hukum (Ruling) of the one that is (meaning, you can communicate with them) Seeking aid when these conditions are not met is Shirk. Adh-Dhabh - Slaughtering Obligatory - Eid al-Adha, Hajj, ‘Aqiqah Optional - For Guests Sacrificing for other than Allāh is Shirk “Whoever believes in Allāh and the Last Day, then let him honour his guest” From the greatest means of honouring the guest is to sacrifice in order to feed them, however if it is not within a person's means, then there is nothing upon them. The Prophet (salallāhu ‘alaihi wasallam), would sometimes be unable to do so, such as when he lacked the wealth. An example of this would be when he would ask ‘Ā'ishah if there was any food, and upon hearing that there was none, he would fast for the day. An-Nadhm - Vows A vow cannot be made to other than Allāh. Restricted/Conditional vows are Makrūh. The person that makes such a vow (conditional), is stingy. For example, vowing to do righteous deeds if Allāh grants you with what you wish for.

Full Title: The Ziyārat of Imām al-Ḥusayn as Liturgical Text in Early Shī‘ī Ḥadīth and its Role in the Promulgation of Shī‘ī Piety The intention of this lecture and study is to investigate the intricacies and substance of a genre of devotional literature and liturgical practice in Twelver Shī‘īsm, namely the Ziyārat (visitational eulogy) of Imam al-Ḥusayn. In doing so, this talk presented a historical and close philological-thematic study of this ziyāra, a text that is consistently found throughout classical and contemporary Shi‘ī prayer manuals and formative hadith works such as al-Kāfī. The ziyāra has been ascribed by Twelver Shī‘īs to the sixth Imām, Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (d. 148/765). Unlike most studies dealing with the topic of Shī‘ī devotion, this lecture shall focus on the textual history, Qur'ānic, and mystical-theological themes which imbue this liturgy. The speakers were Vinay Khetia, Academic Director, Shia Research Institute, Toronto Furthermore, the numerous statements of esoteric or gnostic provenance found throughout this text sheds further light upon the development and promulgation of the non-rationalist stream of Shī‘īsm by authorities such as al-Kulaynī, Ibn Qawlawayh, and Ibn Babawayh al-Qummī who place the ontological function of Imāms knowledge and walāya (charismatic persona and authority) at the very centre of any notion of acceptable religiosity. It is the author's contention that this ziyāra text is part and parcel of the broader venture of early esoteric Shī‘īsm thus, a text of this genre would be most appropriately analyzed within this context. Sponsored by the Jaffer Family Foundation of NY. This event took place on September 15, 2023. Find more information for this event here: https://shiism.hds.harvard.edu/ Transcript is forthcoming.

22 years ago today, Islamic terrorists struck America, claiming the lives of 2,977 individuals. It was the deadliest attack on U.S. soil. In New York City, 2,753 people died, 343 of them were firefighters. The Pentagon death toll was 184 while the death toll of those who perished outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, was 40.--The Qur'an declares that Jews and Christians are infidels. Followers of Islam are told to perform jihad against the infidels and hypocrites and to be harsh with them and that their abode will be in hell.--Who would have thought that school districts now provide halal dietary options for students. Who would have thought that just 2 weeks ago, President Biden did not declare Islam a terrorist threat. Instead, he indicated that the U.S. intelligence community has determined that domestic terrorism, rooted in white supremacy, is the greatest terrorism threat we face. --Returning to Crosstalk to bring analysis on 9-11, specifically related to the lessons we haven't learned, was Shahram Hadian. Shahram is a former Muslim from Iran who came to the states in 1978 and committed his life to Jesus Christ. Shahram started the Truth in Love Project and is the founding pastor of Truth in Love Ministry. Shahram exposes the true goal of Islam and the threat of Sharia in America. --Shahram believes we're not at the point where 9-11 has been forgotten. Instead, the history has been re-written. The victims have been made out to be the perpetrators and vice-versa. Today we live in a world where we're told it's Muslims who are being persecuted and must be protected. It's to the point where Islam, that attacked us, is controlling much of the narrative.

In our first episode in South Africa, we investigate the experiences and welfare of the oft-misrepresented queer muslim community. In the heart of Cape Town we interview Imam Muhsin Hendricks- the world's first openly queer imam- and learn about his work interpreting the Qur'an and confronting the use of its passages to propagate homophobic harm. As we address this sensitive and controversial topic, we seek to understand how one bridges the divide between their sexuality and their faith as a queer muslim.Thank you as always to those who continue to to listen and support us.

If the start of Sayyid Qutb's life was defined by the evolution of his thought, the second part was defined by a calcification of his beliefs. With revolution brewing in Egypt following the Second World War, Qutb turned from analysing the aesthetics of the Quran to Islamism, explicitly calling for a new socio-political and economic order based on the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet. Following a trip to America, where he saw decadent Western society in stark relief, he returned to preach it at home, joining the Muslim Brotherhood and eventually coming up against the new regime of Gamal Abdul Nasser. It was in prison that he would write his most famous works. In this second episode on Sayyid Qutb's life, we plot the end of his journey, showing how he became the most influential Islamic thinker of the modern era. We also round off our series looking at the antecedents to modern Salafi Jihadism, showing how their thought has come together to influence terrorists in the modern era. Because to understand the mind of fundamentalists today, we have to understand their legacy.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Muslims are no longer half a world away, but now include our neighbors, friends, classmates, and coworkers. Do we as Christians worship the same God as Muslims do? What distinguishes Allah from Jesus, the Qur'an from the Bible?

This is part two of our discussion with Qur'anic scholar, Dr. Andy Bannister, author of Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? (uhop.me/SameGod). Andy continues to offer his insights and wisdom from his years of experience in answering these and other questions and in engaging Muslims who are searching for much more than what they read in the Qur'an.Dr. Andy Bannister is the Director of the Solas Centre for Public Christianity, speaking and teaching regularly throughout the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, and the wider world.

Botanical artist Sue Wickison has just completed a book on the plants of the Qur'an. Born in Sierra Leone, trained as a scientific illustrator in the UK, she now lives on Waiheke Island. Sue says her passion for the natural world and history was nurtured during expeditions with her amateur botanist father. Together they would locate, collect and identify botanical specimens. After becoming fascinated with the plants mentioned in Islam's holy book she began an 8 year research collaboration with a Pakistani scientist to identify the specimens.

The doctrine of the modern law of the sea is commonly believed to have developed in Renaissance Europe. The role of Islamic law of the sea and customary practices is often ignored though. In Islamic Law of the Sea: Freedom of Navigation and Passage Rights in Islamic Thought (Cambridge UP, 2019), Hassan S. Khalilieh highlights Islamic legal doctrine regarding freedom of the seas and its implementation in practice. He proves that many of the fundamental principles of the pre-modern international law governing the legal status of the high seas and the territorial sea, though originating in the Mediterranean world, are not necessarily European creations. Beginning with the commonality of the sea in the Qur'an and legal methods employed to ensure the safety, security, and freedom of movement of Muslims and aliens by land and sea, Khalilieh then goes on to examine the concepts of the territorial sea and its security premises, as well as issues surrounding piracy and its legal implications as delineated in Islamic law. Hassan S. Khalilieh is a senior lecturer in the Maritime Civilizations and Multidisciplinary Studies departments and a senior research fellow in the Leon Recanati Institute for Maritime Studies, Leon H. Charney School of Marine Sciences at the University of Haifa, Israel. His publications include Islamic Maritime Law: An Introduction (1998) and Admiralty and Maritime Laws in the Mediterranean Sea (ca.800-1050): The Kitāb Akriyat al-Sufun and the Nomos Rhodion Nautikos (2006). Ahmed Yaqoub AlMaazmi is a Ph.D. candidate at Princeton University, Near Eastern Studies Department. His research focuses on the intersection of law, the occult sciences, and the environment across the western Indian Ocean.

Muslim and left-wing rioters have been wreaking havoc in France following the shooting of 17-year-old, Nahel Merzouk. Merzouk was fleeing from police after a traffic stop as he was found to have been driving without a valid license. After days of violence, many arrests have been made, many fires have been set, stores looted, and cars torched. --What's really going on here-- Is France not being -welcoming- enough-- Is this about racism-- Is something even more sinister to blame----Returning to Crosstalk to answer these questions was Usama Dakdok. Usama is the founder of the Straight Way of Grace Ministry. He's the speaker on the daily radio broadcast, Revealing the Truth About Islam. He speaks fluent Arabic and has translated the Qur'an into English. He is the author of Exposing the Truth about the Qur'an and Exposing the Truth About Jihad and the booklets, The Violent Truth about Islam and The Straight Way to Eternal Life.--Many years ago, as Usama began appearing on Crosstalk, he warned listeners that the day will come when Muslims will burn America and do whatever they can to destroy the West. At that time many people, even conservative Christians, didn't believe him. - -Usama noted how the Muslim population in Europe is growing and when they reach 5.5-6-, he believes that's when the real Islam shows up. So he's not surprised and contends that it won't get better. It'll only get worse.--So what is -real- Islam-- According to Usama, it's what Allah said in the Qur'an and what Mohammed said in the Hadith. Muslims live by Sharia law. They don't live by French law or the U.S. Constitution. They actually consider U.S. law to be foolishness.

New evidence, reports Nathan Steinmeyer of the Biblical Archaeology Society, is confirming the biblical description of the kingdom of Judah as it existed in King David's time. This is significant, according to Steinmeyer, because “[d]espite King David's prominence in the Hebrew Bible, little archaeological evidence has been directly linked to the early years of the Kingdom of Judah.” Because of this apparent discrepancy between the archeological record and the biblical description of the region during the 10th-century B.C., “some scholars have argued that Judah only became a developed polity in the ninth or even eighth century B.C.E.”   Recently, however, an article published in the Jerusalem Journal of Archaeology by renowned Hebrew University archeologist Yosef Garfinkel, whose team has been digging four major sites in the Judean foothills since 2007, makes claims that “completely transforms the state of research.” Newly exposed settlement layers reveal a number of population centers with writing, housing, and casemate [or double] city walls, which form the kind of fortified cities described in 1 and 2 Samuel. These cities, at Khirbet Qeiyafa, Khirbet el-Ra‘i, Socoh, and Lachish may have been the nucleus
