Shaykh Binnory (rahimahullah) achieved such an honour and distinction that he was from the most illustrious students of …

Any discussion on the spreading of Hadith cannot be left void of the warning against passing on unauthentic narrations. This is due to the grave warnings about fabricated Hadiths. There are approximately 200 Sahabah (radiyallahu ‘anhum) that have reported these warnings. (Fathul Bari, Hadith: 110 and Tadribur Rawi, vol. 5 pg. 207)   The Message of Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) In fact, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has done the same in his …

Imams Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi (rahimahumallah) have reported from Sayyidatuna Samma (radiyallahu’anha) that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alaihi wasallam) said: “Don’t fast on Saturdays unless it’s an obligatory fast” i.e, like Ramadan. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 2413, Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 744 and others) This Hadith has been quoted by some contemporaries to discourage people from fasting on the 10th of Muharram, or even the 9th or 11th of Muharram, if any of these dates …

The 15th of Sha’ban, which is commonly referred to as “Laylatul Bara-ah” (refer: Tafsir Razi and Ruhul ma’ani, Surah 44. Ayah: 3) is one of the significant nights in the Islamic calendar.

The following paragraphs serve …

Sayyiduna ‘Uqbah ibn ‘Amir (radiyallahu’anhu) enquired from Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) as to what to do for salvation [from fitnah]? Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Guard your tongue, remain in your home and cry over your sins.’ (Sunan Tirmidhi, Hadith: 2406) Listen to my talk on this important topic, here 12/06/19

The Sunnah is the best and most complete way for any human to lead his life in this world. Unfortunately day by day, we find the Muslim ummah shifting further away from the blessed Sunnah of our Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam). This will bring nothing but further disaster. The following is an abstract from an article that Muhaddithul ‘Asr, ‘Allamah Muhammad Yusuf Al Binnory (rahimahullah) wrote on this topic: ‘Powerful nations …

Our actions have a direct effect on the things, creation and conditions around us. When we do good, it draws favourable conditions and when we perpetrate wrongs, the ill effects are felt around us too. Download my lecture on this topic here

The enthusiasm to share whatever beneficial knowledge we come across sometimes results in the oversight of flooding peoples timelines, inboxes, or ears. This leads to ‘information indigestion’. Do not be too frequent to the extent that the audience or recipients are burdened. This is an established principle of knowledge. Despite the high level of the eagerness that the Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhum) had to learn from Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam), he too would …
