Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen on Working with the Islaamic Parties - The noble Scholar, Imaam Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-'Uthaymeen is asked if it is from wisdom to work with the parties that ascribe themselves to Islaam in order to confront the Secularists and Communists, or is it from wisdom to not work with such Islaamic parties and completely abandon political work. Though the answer was given years ago, we find it highly appropriate in light of the recent calls to participate in the electoral process and to co-operate with the people of innovation!

Shaykh Rabee' Ibn Haadee al-Madkhalee on the Islaamic University of al-Madeenah - The Imaam of al-Jarh wa Ta'deel speaks a just word about the Islaamic University, referring to it as a 'fortress of Islaam' and clarifies the issue of Hizbees who have attempted to infiltrate into this noble institute of learning.  The Shaykh's words serve as a timely consolation to those who have heard rumours intended to destroy the reputation of this noble institute!

Shaykh Saalih al-Fawzaan on the Statements of Muhammad Suroor - The noble Scholar is asked about the statements of Muhammad Suroor Zaynul-'Aabideen, "The books of 'aqeedah are not suitable for our times," and, "If the people of Loot ('alayhis-salaam) had said 'Laa ilaaha illallaah', it would not have benefited them as long as they persisted upon their disobedience." After clarifying the misguidance of these statements and their speaker, the Shaykh then proceeds to praise the refutation upon Muhammad Suroor by the noble Scholar, Shaykh Muhammad Amaan al-Jaamee.

Shaykh Muqbil on Listening to the Tapes of the Innovators - The muhaddith of Yemen, Imaam Muqbil Ibn Haadee al-Waadi'ee (d.1421H) explains the ruling on the one who leaves off listening to the tapes of the Salafees, like Imaams: Ibn Baaz and al-Albaanee and takes to listening to the tapes of the innovators like: 'Abdur-Rahmaan 'Abdul-Khaaliq, Aboo Ishaaq al-Huwaynee, Safar al-Hawaalee and Salmaan al-'Awdah. NOTE: In his answer, Shaykh Muqbil makes slip of the tongue and seems to encourage listening to the tapes of Hamaasiyyah (fanaticism), however, he clarifies this later on in the audio after the questioner - may Allaah reward him - alerts the Shaykh to this slip.
