Our Ummah has been blessed with exemplary figures and our Islamic history is gloriously rich with such examples of real men who understood Islam comprehensively. It was not their lineage or themselves as a person that made them such great people; but rather their adoption of the Islamic creed and ideas and their clear understanding of it that made them into the person they were. Sheikh ul-Islam Taqi Ad-Din Ahmad Ibn Taymiyah (r) is one such example. His courage and works reach us like a ray of light in this dark period even today. He has been notably known for many great acts, including his works on the Islamic Aqeedah and Tauheed. However, in order to really respect him, we do not need to emulate him since he dealt with the problems in his time with the clear understanding of Islam that he had. Instead, we adopt the same attitude and ideas he did and step forward to deal with the issues and problems we face today. And we ask: if he were alive today what would he oppose, what would he speak against and fight against today; who are the mongols of today and what is the biggest deviation from Tauheed today?

Abu Hamed Muhammad ibn Muhammad Al-Ghazali (r) was a pioneer of defending the attacks on Islam by totally destroying the ideas of non-Islamic beliefs and paves the way today as an example we can learn from. Many hold the misconception that he was a person fixated on rectifying oneself only, but his life and actions say otherwise.

Restoring the House of Islam | Is Islam only 5 Pillars? | By Ustadh Reda | iHalaqa Classroom
“On the authority of Abu Abdul Rahman Abdullah (r), the son of Umar ibn al-Kattaab (r) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: ‘Islam is built upon five [pillars]: testifying that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing the prayers, giving zakat, making pilgrimage to the House and fasting the month of Ramadan.'” (Recorded in Bukhari and Muslim)

DAY 19: Ramadan Muslim Vs Student of Knowledge | Firaun Vs Musa | iHalaqa Ramadan Bytes –When the month of Ramadan comes, there are brothers and sisters who want to change. They don’t usually practice the Deen but want to make efforts in doing so because it is the month of Ramadan. They are often termed as “Ramadan Muslims”, by the so called “Religious Bunch”. Having this negative view, Is it from Islam, is it among the characteristics of a practicing Muslim? How can we be more encouraging towards the brothers and sisters making the effort to change in this noble month? Allah (swt) says: “O Muhammad (saw) invite mankind to the way of your lord (Islam) with wisdom, and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better… (16:125) Muhammed (saw) also says in a hadith “Make things easy and don’t make things difficult and give glad tidings and do not disparage”
