Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen on Interacting With Non-Muslims in Western Countries Author: Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen The Shaikh stated, during a tele-link, on the 28th July 2000: ...Likewise I invite you to have respect for those people who have the right that they should be respected, from those between you and whom there is and agreement (of protection) [i.e. Non-Muslims]. For the land which you are living is such that there is an agreement between you and them. If this were not the case they would have killed you or expelled you. So preserve this agreement, and do not prove treacherous to it, since treachery is a sign of the hypocrites, and it is not from the way of the Believers. And know that it is authentically reported from the Prophet that he said : " Whoever kills one who is under and agreement of protection will not smell the fragrance of Paradise ." Do not be fooled by those sayings of the foolish people : those who say : 'Those pe...

Ibn Abil-'Izz (died 792 AH) - may God be pleased with him - said: Ibn Abil-'Izz (died 792 AH) - may God be pleased with him - said: "Knowledge of Usool-ud-Deen (the fundamentals of the religion) is the most noble branch of knowledge, since the excellence of a certain type of knowledge depends upon what it is concerned with , and this is the greater Fiqh (understanding) , which is why lmaam Abu Haneefah (died 150AH) - may God be pleased with him - called that which he compiled concerning Usool-ud-Deen : "al-Fiqhul- Akbar" (The Greatest Fiqh ).

An Explanation of the Truth of Monotheism Author: Shaikh Salih al-Fawzaan Praise be to Allah, the Almighty, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Universe, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, last of the Prophets, and upon all those who adhere to his example until the Day of Judgement.

Thus, all Prophets (peace be upon them) have called for true faith. Every Prophet told his people from the very beginning, "Worship Allah, the Almighty. You have no other god but Him" .(1) "We assuredly sent amongst every people an Apostle, (with the command), Serve Allah and eschew evil" .(2) This is because Allah the Almighty created all people to worship Him alone and set up no associate to Him . "I have only created jinns and men that they may worship M...

1. What is Islaam? The word "Islaam" is an Arabic word that means "submitting and surrendering your will to Almighty God". The word comes from the same root as the Arabic word "salam", which means peace. Unlike the names used for other religions, such as Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity, the name for the religion of Islaam was both revealed by God and carries a deep spritual meaning - only by submitting one's will to Almighty God can one obtain true peace both in this life and in the life hereafter. Islaam teaches that all religions originally had the same essential message - which was to submit whole-heartedly to the will of God and to worship Him and Him alone. For this reason, Islaam is not a new religion but is the same divinely revealed Ultimate Truth that God revealed to all prophets, including Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. 2. Who are Muslims? The Arabic word "Muslim" literally means "someon...
