Mashari Al-Ashwaq ila Masari al-Ushaaq
=================
About the author ==================
The
author’s full name was Ahmad Ibrahim Muhammad al-Dimashqi al-Dumyati,
commonly known as Ibn an-Nuhaas and he died in the Year 814 Hijri,
corresponding to the Year 1411 of the Gregorian calendar.
Al-Sakhawi said about him:
“He
was eager to do good, preferred living in obscurity and showed no
arrogance or pride due to his knowledge. Whoever would see him would
think that he was a commoner – a handsome man, with a beautiful beard,
short and medium built. He spent most of his life stationed in Jihad
until he died as a martyr.”
Ibn al-Imad said about him:
“The Sheikh, Imam, scholar and exemplar.”
In
814 Hijri the Romans attacked the people of Teenah in Egypt. The people
of Dumyat, led by Ibn an-Nuhaas went to join their brothers in their
fight against the invading forces. Ibn an-Nuhaas was killed in the
battle, whilst facing the enemy and not fleeing from them, nine months
after he completed writing this book.
=================
About the book =================
Sheikh Abdullah Azzam said about this book: “This is the best book on Jihad.”
It
is considered the most comprehensive study on the subject of Jihad
because it was written by an author who practised, lived and experienced
what he preached.
Syed
Qutb said: “Indeed our words will remain lifeless, until we die in
pursuit of those words, then those same words will be brought to life
and live amongst the people, inspiring them and bringing their hearts to
life.”

Thawaabit ‘ala darb al Jihad
Thawaabit
‘ala darb al Jihad is one of the best contemporary books on the subject
of Jihad. It was written by Shaykh Yusuf al ‘Uyayree. Shaykh Yusuf had
left at an early age to fight in Afghanistan against the Russians.
People who knew him described him as a very intelligent individual who
was well-versed in all of the weaponry in all fields and was able to
train with them very well. Later, he returned to the Arabian Peninsula
where he continued serving the Mujahideen in Chechnya and fundraised for
them. As time passed, he was arrested and put in jail for a few years.
In jail he memorized al Bukhari and Muslim. When he came out, he wrote a
few books; each one of them is a masterpiece. One can see the depth of
his textual references to Qur’an and Sunnah as well as references to
present day occurences. He was later killed and died shaheed by the
security forces in the Arabian Peninsula; we ask Allah for that to be
the case.

Dreams and Dream Interpretations
Allah
Almighty says: “Behold! Verily on the friends of Allah there is no
fear, nor shall they grieve; those who believe and guard against evil.
For them are glad tidings, in the life of this world and in the
Hereafter.” The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) explained the glad tidings of
the life of this world to be dreams. He said it is: “the good dream that
a Muslim sees or is seen for him” The world of dreams is an amazing and
intriguing one. The early scholar of Islam Ibn Qutaybah says: “There is
nothing that people deal with from the different sciences that is more
obscure, delicate, exalted, noble, difficult, and problematic than
dreams, because they are a type of revelation and a kind of
prophethood”. CD1: seventeen Rules of Dream Interpretations CD2: Dreams

The Dust will Never Settle Down
There
has been recently an increase of unacceptable behavior from the kuffar
towards our beloved Prophet. So what is the ruling of sharia on such
incidents and how did the Sahaba deal with such people and what do our
scholars say about them. About this and more Imam Anwar will deliver a
talk titled: “The Dust will Never Settle Down”. Allaah will suffice His
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) against the
criminals who mock him. He says (interpretation of the meaning): “For he
who hates you (O Muhammad), he will be cut off (from posterity and
every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter)” [al-Kawthar 108:3]
i.e., he is scorned and humiliated and cut off from all that is good.
When the Muslims besieged a stronghold and its people resisted, then
they heard them mocking and reviling the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him), they would sense that victory was at hand, and it
would only be a short time before Allaah granted them victory, to avenge
His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Al-Saarim
al-Maslool (p. 116-117).

Battle of The Hearts and Minds
This
lecture was delivered to a South African audience via live phone link

seerah (particularly the first 13 years in Makkah) and presents lessons
to the daiee’ in order to strengthen his or her methods of conveying the

Allah Is Preparing Us For Victory
This
title is taken from the book on history Al-Kaamil by Imam Ibn Atheer
(rahimahullah). If Allah ‘Azza wa Jall wants an end He will create for
it the means that will lead towards that end. If Allah ‘Azza wa Jall
wants victory for this Ummah, then Allah ‘Azza wa Jall creates the
circumstances for that. So you can sense victory is coming by looking at
what is happening today.

Understanding the Qur’an
Mere
decorations and occasional recitation upon the death of a family member
are just some of the ways that the use and purpose of the Qur’an has
been misconstrued. Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki explains and reminds the
listener of the true purpose for the Quran’s revelation. The Sheikh
looks at examples such as Ibn ‘Umar taking 14 years to memorize Surah
Baqarah, whereas nowadays it could take as little as a few months. Why
the discrepancy? It was due to their application of each ayat before
moving on to another. One must remember to ponder, reflect and
understand the Quran properly, thereby actualizing the true reason for
its revelation.

Translation of the Meaning(The Noble Qur’an) Lo! those who believed and
left their homes and strove with their wealth and their lives for the
cause of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them; these are
protecting friends one of another. And those who believed but did not
leave their homes, ye have no duty to protect them till they leave their
homes; but if they seek help from you in the matter of religion then it
is your duty to help (them) except against a folk between whom and you
there is a treaty. Allah is Seer of what ye do.

The Story Of The Bull
Dividing
and Conquering the Muslim lands; the speaker discusses this political
phenomenon with a simple parable from the Sunnah, of a lion that
cunningly divides and devours three bulls. The bulls remained too much
of a meal for the lion while they held together, defending each others
backs. The lion thus adopted the art of deceiving, thus causing the
bulls to fall into suspicion and apathy, dividing their strength,
rendering them useless against the bitter bite of the enemy.
