Celebration of Halloween in Riyad, Saudi Arabia. The GEA of Saudi organized an event called "Horror Weekend", meanwhile celebration of Mawlid is still banned.
Imagine a country that forbids the commemoration of the Prophet ﷺ because it is more evil than celebrating Halloween...
This mixed praying happens yearly in Egypt.
Masses of men & women praying salat al-Eid mixed in the courtyard of Masjid Mustafa Mahmud in Egypt.
May Allah protect the other Muslim countries from this fitnah and rectify the Egyptian society.
The classical way of teaching the Qur'an in Morocco and other parts of Maghreb. Someone would check the tablet (لوح) on mistakes and give guidelines. As for those 'scribbles' over the text, that's for students who rewrite each rubu' on the tablets in order to memorize.
Straight to jahiliyyah. This festival, which Amazigh secularists seek to revive nationwide in Morocco, is most likely a remnant of a ram deity that the Imazighen used to worship, like how Egyptians had Amun
Hanafis as of right now are the most structured in the West when it comes to their masajid, madaris and accessibility to their muftis. Their dedication to establish a mufti in every community where they are present and thus fulfill the communal obligation is admirable.
Some students shook the hands of the usuli and Ash'ari scholar Shaykh Muhammad Hasan Hito ash-Shafi'i حفظه الله while bowing their heads slightly out of respect.
To which the Shaykh said:
"Do not bow to me! Bowing is only for Allah! Only for Allah!!"
The claim that Queen Elizabeth II was a descendant of the Prophet ﷺ is historical & genealogical inaccurate and is based upon dubious matters. For starters, it is claimed that Queen Elizabeth II was a descendent of Zayda al-Andalusi who was the great grandchild of
Sighting the new moon in Saudi would have been impossible on the 20th of April, neither with the naked eyes nor with a telescope, acc. to the International Astronomy Center, and only possible in the Western Hemisphere.
What did the Saudis exactly sight? Where is the evidence?
"Imam Malik only did sadl because his arms were injured"
10 arguments why this claim is outright bogus and a belittlement to the jurists (and exposes one's ignorance on the Maliki Madhab)🧵
There are three components:
'Aqeedah: "Who do I worship?"
Fiqh: "How do I worship Him outwardly?"
Tasawwuf: "How do I worship Him inwardly?"
Tasawwuf focuses on worshiping Him with a purified heart by abandoning nafs, jealousy, hypocrisy, riya' and the like.
Traits of a 'liberal Muslim':
-Deleting "haram" & "halal" from one's dictionary and saying "my opinion" regardless of what the sources say;
-Disabling "enjoining good and forbidding evil" and saying that Muslims can't be judged for any reason;
The people of misguidance & heresy rejoice at the death of the scholars of ahl al-Sunnah, just like they did with the death of Imam Abu Hassan al-Ash'ari.
As for us, we are content with whatever Allah has willed. He has now been freed from this wordly prison, رحمه الله.
Alhamdulillah another mushrik has fallen. Wallahi he was a bigger disbeliever than Qaradhawi and we can’t invoke the mercy of Allah SWT upon. This is better news than when Qaradhawi died. All the Muslims should be grateful because Allah SWT rid us of his deviancy.
Eid Mubarak everyone, may Allah forgive all of our mistakes! A custom that is still done in Morocco alhamdulillah is the collective takbeer. On the day of Eid, the worshippers chant the takbeer together while going to the Eid prayer and inviting others along the way.
Shaykh Muhannad Sa'id in Algeria was attacked by extreme Wahhabis, they tried to run him over with a car and shouted insults and now this. May Allah protect the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah

A few years ago sidi Mu'adh al-Nass رحمه الله went viral for his adhan in the al-Hambra palace in Córdoba, Spain because he felt that its walls had missed the remembrance of Allah.

Imam Ibn Hayyan al-Qurtubi al-Andalusi stated:
"And the Berbers in Maghrib and Andalusia used to be keen in wearing aqbiya with a cover at the top for the head and the neck, which is known as barnus"
Shaykh Abd al-Wahid al-Hanbali & Shaykh Hamza al-Bakri. One is hanbali in aqida while the other one is maturidi in aqida yet they are united. The merits of Ahl al-Sunnah.
Something you can't see within the Wahhabi community where they tabdi each other every second.
The grave of 'Amir al-Mu'mineen, Yusuf bin Tashifin (رحمه الله), a legendary ruler of the Murabitun Dynasty. He united the majority of al-Andalus, which was divided into small kingdoms, and Morocco. He is a prime example of a ruler who was not poisoned by power or wealth.
Not only did the khariji Muhammad bin Abd al-Wahhab and his followers mass takfir of the Ummah & mass slaughter the believers, they would also send letters to the Muslim nations inviting them to Islam and to renew their tawhid, similmar to how the Prophet ﷺ sent letters to the
The eid al-fitr prayer & khutbah in Biskra, Algeria in the early 20th century. Despite having been colonized for a century by the French monsters at that moment and facing abuse, their imaan did not flinch. May Allah have mercy on all of those who preserved His religion.
A group of experts determining the azimuth of the Qiblah and the location for the mihrab by means of the Sun in Morocco in the city of Azrou.
Just pure knowledge and experience!
According to the Malikis, it is mustahab to say bismillah aloud before eating if you are in a group to remind others of saying it.
And it is mustahab to say alhamdulillah silently after eating if you are in a group so that others who aren't satiated yet won't feel ashamed.
The 'aqida of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jama'a:
❝Neither place nor time contains Him, for He is the one who created time & place. If He had a place He would have a limit, glory be to Him who has no limits. And if He was subjected to time, He would have a beginning and an end. Glory be
A fard remains a fard and can only be lifted once you fulfill it. That any missed prayer have to be made up is the opinion of the Maliki, Hanafi and Shafi'i Madhahib without any difference of opinion and it is the more popular opinion in the Hanbali Madhab.
Following the other
This is totally prohibited and an innovation
The prayers that were missed are expired and can’t be made up at all.
Simply repent, show remorse, ask Allah for forgiveness and never miss prayers again.
There was recently a debate going on in the Salafi world whether Imam al-Nawawi رضي الله عنه was a full-blown 'jahmi Ash'ari' or a scholar who only had creedal errors and its aftermath can still be seen. Those who follow polemics in Arabic might have come across it on YouTube or
Shaykh al-Islam Imam Nawawi رحمه الله said:
❝Reciting the Qur'an directly from a Mushaf is better than from memory, since looking at the Mushaf itself is an act of worship. Thus, two acts of worship are combined: reciting and looking at the Mushaf.❞

Bikinis are still widely seen as an indecent and immodest clothing by most Moroccans and it's only permitted to wear it in very limited public places. In some cities you will even receive backlash for wearing bikinis.
Likewise, alcohol is still a big taboo and it's only drunk in
Morocco, a Muslim country, where women don't have to wear a hijab, wear bikinis, & where alcohol is widely available, had to build 200 mosques last year, and the religiosity of the youth is steadily increasing.
Religion is about principles.
Completely different worlds.
Ibn Battal al-Maliki رحمه الله said:
"There is nothing wrong for a Muslim who desires a Muslim woman and loves her, whether he shows it or hides it, and there is no sin upon him on this, even if he is excessive in it, as long as he does not fall into haram."

One of the most popular atheist question "Who created God?" is answered in one of the most basic Maliki fiqh texts, matn ibn 'Ashir that even children memorize.
If only people took the time to study its 'aqida section instead of screaming "'ilm al-Kalam is haram"
Sadl among the Emiratis (who were dominantly Malikis):
The person leading the prayer is Shaykh Sa'id bin Maktum bin Hashr Al Maktum, the 20th century Emir of Dubai.
Really baffles me to see those who read the verse throughout the year qul huwa-allahu ahad (Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One) and still celebrate the holiday of those that divide Him into three
The picture of shaykh Muhammad al-Hashimi [d. 1961] may Allah have mercy on him. A great scholar from Algeria. You will fall in love with him just by reading about his life alone. Some of his students are still alive today

The symbol represents the shape of the blessed and noble sandals that the Prophet ﷺ wore. The symbol has been used by the Maghariba (North African people) as a decorative, artistic design in manuscripts such as "al-Shifa" by Qadi Iyad and "Dala'il
Never speak a foreign language when you are in the markets of Morocco. They will just increase the price for you, knowing that you are from a rich country
"Akhi leave these madhahib. Just follow the Qur'an and the Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf"
"Sure, what about the differences of opinion among the Salaf in matters of furu' al-fiqh based upon the Qur'an and the Sunnah?"
"Astaghfirullah akhi what is this bid'ah!"
All of the known Prophets' names were foreign except for four: Muhammad, Shu'ayb, Hud and Salih...
No doubt, Abdullah and Abdur Rahman are mong the best names! But to suggest using a foreign name is a sign of nationalism is just absurd.
A reminder that Assim is not a scholar.
Good luck!
They will grow up to be good nationalists with pride in their culture!
The rest of the Muslim Ummah would not know what their names mean and would think that they might be non Muslims for having such names.
The geographer and historian, Shaykh al-Bakri al-Andalusi (d. 1094 CE) رحمه الله mentioned that the Maghariba would fight the wild Atlas lions head-on with sometimes miserly weapons like a Sidr stick and that they weren't afraid of them.
Wahhabis are to be blamed for this confusion on ta'widh. Ta'widh has always been common in the Moroccan society and no Maliki scholar had an issue with. The Maliki scholars differentiated between halal and haram types of ta'widh. Then came the Wahhabis and spread their fitnah
How to become a Tiktok 'student of knowledge' nowadays:
Make your speeches devoid of wisdom and 'ilm by only repeating word for word what you have read.

Mawlid according to the Malikiyyah is a day of Eid, a day of rejoicing, and thus fasting on it is makruh:
Imam al-Hattab al-Maliki relates the story of the encounter of Imam Ibn Abbad al-Rundi al-Maliki with shaykh sidi al-Hajj ibn Ashir al-Maliki on the day of Mawlid in Salé
