Islamic Knowledge – Islam, Sunnah, Salafiyyah
Yahya ibn Abi Katheer rahimahullah said, “From amongst the salaf’s duaa was:
اَللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْنـِيْ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ وَسَلِّمْ لِـيْ رَمَضَانَ وَتَسَلَّمْهُ مِنِيْ مُتَقَبَّلاً.
Allahumma sallimnee ilaa Ramadan, wa sallim lee Ramadan, wa tasallamhu minnee mutaqabbala
O Allāh, keep me safe until Ramadān, keep Ramadān safe for me, and accept it from me.”
[Latā’if al-Ma’ārif | Page 148 | Al-Imām ibn Rajab al-Hambāli rahimahullah]

The practice of the Salaf in removing doubts by asking the scholars.
He said: The practice of the Salaf in removing doubts by asking the scholars.
Not by asking Google, not that an individual searches the websites when he has doubts. No! If you were able to be safe from doubts it wouldn’t have intruded in your heart! So this individual is unable to remove it. Rather, the one that is able to remove it is the one who inherited from the Prophet ﷺ in explaining the religion. You should go back to a scholar and put forth this doubt to him in order for him to remove it for you. Don’t go back to other than him because if you went back to other than him, the doubt will increase and it will be established your heart.
Afterwards, he said:
The scholars will answer it with what will remove the doubt from him. And this is because they only ascribe the statement to the Messenger ﷺ
How will the scholar remove the doubt? With proofs, not with their opinions, or with desires, or with what the people of the land were brought up upon. No! Rather these doubts are removed with proofs. So none has the ability to remove doubts unless he has with him an army of proofs. If he doesn’t have an army of proofs, he will be from the humiliated. So the strong from the scholars is the one who is strengthened by an army of proofs from the Statements of Allah and the statements of His Messenger ﷺ. If a doubt takes over the heart of the creation, then he has the weapons that he can repel these doubts from himself and the Muslims. So when a doubt befalls the slave, then he is commanded to ask a firmly grounded scholar about it. And the firmly grounded scholar is commanded to repel these doubts with the Statement of Allah and the statement of His Messenger ﷺ.

Allaah (Azza wa Jal):
https://abdurrahman.org/allah/
إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱلَّذِينَ هَادُوا۟ وَٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ وَٱلصَّـٰبِـِٔينَ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَـٰلِحًۭا فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allâh and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve (Suratul Baqarah 2:62)
Faith and doing Righteous Deeds equals Salvation in all Times
Allah says;
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَالَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالصَّابِيِينَ مَنْ امَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الاخِرِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً فَلَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians (Sabi’in), whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day and does righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve.
After Allah described the condition – and punishment – of those who defy His commands, fall into His prohibitions and transgress set limits by committing prohibited acts, He stated that the earlier nations who were righteous and obedient received the rewards for their good deeds. This shall be the case, until the Day of Judgment. Therefore, whoever follows the unlettered Messenger and Prophet shall acquire eternal happiness and shall neither fear from what will happen in the future nor become sad for what has been lost in the past.
Similarly, Allah said,
أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَأءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
No doubt! Verily, the Awliya of Allah, no fear shall come upon them nor shall they grieve. (10:62)
The angels will proclaim to the dying believers, as mentioned,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَـمُواْ تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَـيِكَةُ أَلاَّ تَخَافُواْ وَلَا تَحْزَنُواْ وَأَبْشِرُواْ بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِى كُنتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ
Verily, those who say:”Our Lord is Allah (alone),” and then they stand firm, on them the angels will descend (at the time of their death) (saying):”Fear not, nor grieve! But receive the glad tidings of Paradise which you have been promised!” (41:30)
The Meaning of Mu’min, or Believer
Ali bin Abi Talhah narrated from Ibn Abbas, about,
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ امَنُواْ وَالَّذِينَ هَادُواْ وَالنَّصَارَى وَالصَّابِيِينَ مَنْ امَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الاخِرِ
(Verily, those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day) that Allah revealed the following Ayah afterwards,
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الاِسْلَـمِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِى الاٌّخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَـسِرِينَ
And whoever seeks religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. (3:85).
This statement by Ibn Abbas indicates that Allah does not accept any deed or work from anyone, unless it conforms to the Law of Muhammad that is, after Allah sent Muhammad. Before that, every person who followed the guidance of his own Prophet was on the correct path, following the correct guidance and was saved.
Why the Jews were called `Yahud
The Jews are the followers of Prophet Musa, who used to refer to the Tawrah for judgment. Yahud is a word that means,
`repenting’, just as Musa said,
إِنَّا هُدْنَـا إِلَيْكَ
(We have Hudna (we repent, go back and return) unto You), (7:156).
Why the Christians were called Nasara
Allah said;
مَنْ أَنصَارِى إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ
“Who will be my helpers in Allah’s cause” Al-Hawariyyun said:”We are the helpers of Allah.” (61:14)
It was said that;
they were called `Nasara’, because they inhabited a land called An-Nasirah (Nazareth), as Qatadah, Ibn Jurayj and Ibn Abbas were reported to have said, Allah knows best.
Nasara is certainly plural for Nasran.
When Allah sent Muhammad as the Last and Final Prophet and Messenger to all of the Children of Adam, mankind was required to believe in him, obey him and refrain from what he prohibited them; those who do this are true believers. The Ummah of Muhammad was called `Mu’minin’ (believers), because of the depth of their faith and certainty, and because they believe in all of the previous Prophets and matters of the Unseen.
The Sabi’un or Sabians
There is a difference of opinion over the identity of the Sabians.
Sufyan Ath-Thawri said that Layth bin Abu Sulaym said that Mujahid said that,
“The Sabians are between the Majus, the Jews and the Christians. They do not have a specific religion.”
Similar is reported from Ibn Abi Najih.
Similar statements were attributed to Ata and Sa`id bin Jubayr.
They (others) say that;
the Sabians are a sect among the People of the Book who used to read the Zabur (Psalms), others say that they are a people who worshipped the angels or the stars.
It appears that the closest opinion to the truth, and Allah knows best, is Mujahid’s statement and those who agree with him like Wahb bin Munabbih, that;
the Sabians are neither Jews nor Christians nor Majus nor polytheists. Rather, they did not have a specific religion that they followed and enforced, because they remained living according to their Fitrah (instinctual nature). This is why the idolators used to call whoever embraced Islam a `Sabi’, meaning, that he abandoned all religions that existed on the earth.
Some scholars stated that;
the Sabians are those who never received a message by any Prophet.
And Allah knows best

اللّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنورَ صَدْرِي وجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي وذَهَابَ هَمِّي
Allaahumma ‘innee ‘abduka, ibnu ‘abdika, ibnu ‘amatika, naasiyatee biyadika, maadhin fiyya hukmuka, ‘adlun fiyya qadhaa’uka, ‘as’aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, ‘aw ‘anzaltahu fee kitaabika, ‘aw ‘allamtahu ‘ahadan min khalqika, ‘awista’tharta bihi fee ‘ilmil-ghaybi ‘indaka, ‘an taj’alal-Qur’aana rabee’a qalbee, wa noora sadree, wa jalaa’a huznee, wa thahaaba hammee
O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of Your female slave. My forehead is in Your Hand (i.e. You have control over me). Your Judgment upon me is assured and Your Decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every Name that You have named Yourself with, revealed in Your Book, taught any one of Your creation or kept unto Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, to make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my sadness and the reliever of my distress.
