This is a really nice discussion. Goes over many of the main controversies over it and the Shaykh provides satisfactory responses. I would highly recommend it. https://youtu.be/dbu4FlhIAZ0?is=JF433nIcsM6eDvJh

20 posts held, back to 12 June 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 20 posts for this entry, the most recent from 4 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

It is stated in al-Ādāb al-Sharʿiyyah (1/257) by Ibn Mufliḥ: Al-Marrudhi said: I asked Abū ʿAbd Allāh [Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal] about a group of people of innovation who accost others and declare them disbelievers. He said: ‘Do not confront them.’ I said: ‘What is it that you dislike about their being imprisoned?’ He said: ‘They have mothers and sisters.’ I said: ‘But they have imprisoned a man and wronged him, and the…
A translation of Shaykh Hatem al-'Awni's short booklet on the topic of dealing with innovators. He advocates for a balanced position on the topic and uses numerous examples, both theoretical and practical, from scholarly history to build his case. I believe there is too much black and white in some circles regarding it. For the sake of brevity and time, the author’s footnotes and references were not included. Those …
"Justice means restoring people’s rights, obtaining redress for the oppressed and supporting them, restraining the oppressor, and deterring him—but without exceeding the bounds of justice." -Shaykh Hatem al-'Awni

When I was learning Arabic and working to improve my reading comprehension, I dreaded having to look up words while reading. Each interruption broke my concentration and disrupted my flow, which I found incredibly frustrating. I used to wish someone could just sit beside me and tell me the word I was stuck on, so I could keep moving through the text. I know some people enjoy the process of looking up words themselves…
"And among men there is one who worships Allah on the verge (ḥarf ): so if some good thing happens to him, he is satisfied with it, and if a trial befalls him, he turns his face back. He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the manifest loss." [Qur'an 22:11] What is meant by ḥarf here is the aspect upon which worship occurs. He, exalted is His praise, is saying: among people is one who worships Allah on …
When Ahmad ibn Hanbal was imprisoned, the jailer came to him and asked, "O Abu Abdullah, is the hadith narrated regarding oppressors and their aides authentic?" He replied, "Yes." The jailer then asked, "Am I, then, one of the oppressors' aides?" Ahmad answered, "The aides of oppressors are those who trim your hair, wash your clothes, prepare your food, and buy from or sell to you; as for you, you are one of them.…
🏔️ One Mountain, Many Paths? You've heard it a hundred times: "We're all climbing the same mountain." "All religions are basically saying the same thing." "Claiming your religion is the truth is arrogant." It sounds humble, kind, and it feels like the mature, tolerant position. But on close scrutiny, what you find isn't tolerance. It's a machine that quietly dismantles far more than it admits. Islam already holds…
A summarized AI translation of both Razi and Qurtubi's tafsirs is now loaded into the app. https://tafsir.deenapps.com/index.php?chapter=1&verse=1&trans=usmani&tafsir_type=al-razi#viewer
If you find it difficult to implement or too technical. Just copy and paste the whole thing in any AI and tell it to walk you through it step by step. Ask questions along the way to the AI if you don't understand some instruction(s). I know some non-tech people that were able to implement the tafsir AI tool I built using that method.
I’ve built another Telegram research bot tool for exploring fiqh and usul al-fiqh across the four Sunni schools using the Turath (Shamela) library. This tool helps you: -Search Hanbali, Hanafi, Maliki, and Shafi‘i sources individually -Compare multiple madhhabs in one query -Search preferred texts first for each school, you can define them by their IDs in the .env file without touching the python code -Search wi…
Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @rameezabid. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.
