Question: I am a beginner student of knowledge. What do you advise me to read? There are so many books that I don’t know which ones are the most useful and beneficial.
Sheikh Yusuf Al-Jazaa'iri ḥafidhahullāh:
I advise you to start with the Book of Allāh: memorising it, reciting it, reflecting on it, and acting upon it. Along with that, read a simple tafsīr, such as the tafsīr of Shaykh As-Sa‘dī (may Allāh have…
After seeing Abu Mariam and Juraij in traditional Nigerian attire, I was starting to worry we might not see them again…but Alhamdulillāh, they're safely back in town O! Hopefully, we can catch them in
May Allāh make your work in these masjids a light for you on the Day of Judgment and raise your ranks.

A Warning to Donors and Benefactors:
Be careful not to hand over masjids to people of innovation or to those seeking worldly gain
1⃣. Masjids are a great trust
Dear donors, know that a masjid is not a social project, a place to gain influence, settle personal conflicts, or try out personal ideas. A masjid is the House of Allāh.
Allāh says: “The masjids belong to Allāh, so do not call upon anyone besides…

Could This Explain Donald Trump’s Hostility Toward Somalis?
Speaking about his last visit to Misr, Sheikh Abu ’Amr ḥafidhahullāh noted:
"Similarly, we also met with a number of our Somali brothers in Egypt, some of whom we had met in Canada about fifteen years ago. They are upon khayr, upon the Sunnah, and possess a strong sense of love. As I mentioned several years ago, the Somali people have a tremendous da'wah. Somalis are not confined to Somalia or Djibouti; they are…
Shortly after I shared the above post (https://t.me/madrasatuna/5500), a respected brother kindly brought to my attention the following response from one of the Salafi Sheikhs of Somalia:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
To proceed:
It is no surprise that, in these days, the President of the United States issues harmful accusations and false charges directed at the Somali community. No one can alter the truth or deny history. The Somali people have distinguished themselves through service to Islam, honouring it, and showing disdain for disbelief and its adherents. Perhaps one of the most notable…
"He who emigrates (from his home) in the Cause of Allāh will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by. And whosoever leaves his home as an emigrant unto Allāh and His Messenger, and de

How is it that Donald Trump can call Somalis “garbage,” yet no one from the Salafi community responds?
Perhaps it is because Trump is widely recognised as a reckless, thoughtless, and foolish novice occupying the presidency—a person who, by his very nature, does not merit a response.
As a poet wisely said:
إِذا نَطَقَ السَفيهُ فَلا تَجِبهُ * فَخَيرٌ مِن إِجابَتِهِ السُكوتُ
"When the fool speaks, do not answer him; for silence is better than responding to him."
فَإِن كَلَّمتَهُ فَرَّجتَ عَنهُ * وَإِن خَلَّيتَهُ…
A Reminder for Muslims in Business
In an age where branding, trends, and online visibility dominate the business world, it’s crucial for Muslims to remember that Allāh alone is the Provider (Ar-Razzāq) and that our Deen must always take precedence over marketing strategies.
Some people feel pressured to conceal their Islamic identity in hopes of attracting more customers. In the name of marketing, they turn to…
Stop Advertising Your Businesses In The Masjid!
One of the most common forms of advertising—though many people hardly notice it—is through prayer calendars hung in the prayer halls. Many of these calendars promote businesses that sponsor/offer financial assistance to the Masjid.

BENEFIT 510: Is It Permissible for Women to Continue Studying Under a Salafi Teacher if Her Husband Leaves Salafiyyah?
Question: We are studying under a virtuous Salafi female da‘iyah who sought knowledge since the days of Dammaj, then later in Al-Hami.
She has much goodness, but she married a shaykh who was from Ahlus-Sunnah, then afterwards he deviated Allaah is the one sought for help.
In the neighbouring village, there is another female da‘iyah.
I asked her: “Do you have a lecture by the da‘iyah who is with us?” She…
BENEFIT 509: Ṭā-Hā & Yāseen are NOT from the names of the Prophet ﷺ
Shaykh Ibn ʿUthaymīn, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
“If someone says to you, ‘Send Salah upon Ṭā-Hā,’ then say to him: Ṭā-Hā are alphabetical letters in the Qur'ān. Yes, some scholars have said that among the names of the Messenger—may Allāh’s blessings and peace be upon him and upon his family—is Ṭā-Hā. And I think that some of them have also said that among his names is Yā-Sīn. On their principle, we would…
وترى الكريم إذا تصرم وصله * يخفي القبيح ويظهر الإحسانا
وترى اللئيم إذا تقضى وصله * يخفي الجميل ويظهر البهتانا.
You will find the noble, when the bond is cut,
conceals what is blameworthy and displays kindness.
But the ignoble, when the bond is ended,
hides the good and displays slander.

Safeguarding Secrets
Sheikh Faisal Al-Hashidi ḥafidhahullāh writes:
Remember, my brother in faith, that one who entrusts you with his secrets is a brother who loves you and has placed his confidence in you. Therefore, be worthy of his trust and protect his secrets just as you would protect any trust—material or otherwise.
Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ…
I discussed this matter in my book Al-Wasāʾil Al-Jaliyyah li-Naṣrat Ad-Daʿwah As-Salafiyyah, and I cited it again at the end of my book Fatḥ Al-ʿAlīm*, the commentary on Imam Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Al-Wahh
So, praise be to Allāh, we say to every innovator, every Hibzi, and every mumayyi' in the religion of Allāh: Die in your rage! For Ahlus-Sunnah wa’l-Jamāʿah—in Yemen and beyond—are upon a pure call, a sound path, and a straight course. We do not claim infallibility for ourselves; we are right at times and wrong at times; we know some things and remain ignorant of others. But our Lord knows that our intention is the…
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh responds:
"Fear Allāh, O ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz Al-Burʿī! Fear Allāh before you stand before Him as a liar! Before you stand before Him as a swindler! Before you stand before Him as one who deceives! He claims that we have no scholar except Yaḥyā Al-Ḥajūrī.
Exalted is Allāh!
Do we not praise Shaykh Al-Fawzān? Do we not praise Shaykh Al-ʿAbbād? Do we not praise Shaykh Ash-Shithrī?…
Question: Is it permissible for a soldier who has been surrounded during battle by the enemy to detonate himself with a grenade so that he does not fall captive into the hands of the enemy?
Sheikh Abdulḥamīd Az-Zu'kari hafidahullāh:
It is not permissible. He must not kill himself. He might not fall captive, and even if he does, Muslims may work to secure his release, and good may result from…
Criticising someone's mistakes and cautioning others against them is one thing, but taking them out of Salafiyyah is another!
Sheikh Yahya hafidahullah mentioned:
" 'Abdur-Razzāq ibn Abdil-Muhsin Al-Abbād descends upon the people of Turāth, and this I am not pleased with from before, and I have debated with him, he invited me to his house, and he knows this speech.
When I went to 'Umrah to visit the Masjid, I…
