FINAL CALL: Summer in the Haramain | Umrah Trip With Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan & Abdulhakeem Hassan

Who would refuse a chance to do Umrah?

NEW BOOK: Miftah Dar As-Salam by Hafidh Al-Hakami | Reviving True Aqeedah | Ust. Abdulrahman Hassan | Part - 2/2

What good is saying “I believe” when you’ve never checked if your belief is sound? What good is loving Allah while ignoring the commands of His Messenger ﷺ — or bending His Sunnah to fit what feels easy? In an age drowning in slogans, half-truths, and refutation videos made by teenage “Dawah” warriors, this reminder cuts deeper. Everyone says La ilaha illallah. But how many know what it really demands — and what it costs if you get it wrong? This explanation of Miftah Dar As-Salam by Al-Hafidh A...

Banat Suad: The Prophet ﷺ Listened to This Poem From Beginning to End | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan

This poet once insulted the Prophet ﷺ — then stood before him, recited new verses… and walked away wearing the Prophet’s ﷺ cloak. This is the true story of Banat Su’ad: a poem that turned an enemy into a forgiven companion. Kaʿb ibn Zuhayr was once known for mocking the Prophet ﷺ and attacking his family with his words. Fearing for his life, he came to Madinah, sat in front of the Prophet ﷺ, and asked, “If Kaʿb came to you now and accepted Islam, would you forgive him?” When the Prophet ﷺ said y...

Are You Studying Under Shaikh ChatGPT or Shaikh Google? | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

Let’s be honest. Most of us want to grow in our Deen — but we keep putting off studying Islam. Or worse, we think watching videos, googling fatwas, and reading a few posts online is enough. But the reality is: You were created to know Allah. And that doesn't happen by scrolling or skimming — it happens through seeking knowledge the right way. In this raw and important reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan lays it all out: - Why studying Islam isn’t just for scholars — it’s for you - How shyness an...

The Legendary Arabic Poem: Laamiyah Al-Arab | Shanfara's Revenge | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU Part - 2/2

This classical Arabic poem isn’t just eloquent — it’s dangerous. Laamiyah al-Arab is the voice of Shanfara, a man betrayed by blood, raised by the one who killed his father, and driven to the wild. He swore vengeance. He lived with wolves. He wrote verses that shook Arabic literature. Something to wonder: Why are scholars of our religion teaching his words? Because this poem is a map of the Arabic language. Every line, explained here by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan, reveals meanings buried deep in ...

What Are the Responsibilities of a Student of Knowledge? | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

Be honest: Are you chasing the image of a student of knowledge more than actually becoming one? You post a book cover, tag a scholar’s quote, and share clips from your latest class. But do you really know what it means to seek knowledge? In this two-hour lecture, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan reminds us that seeking Islamic knowledge isn’t a trend—it’s a trust. A responsibility. A path that can either raise you or destroy you. Allah didn’t just create us to worship Him, but to know Him. And true wor...

NEW BOOK: Kitab al-Ilm | A Wake-Up Call for Today's Students of Knowledge | Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin Part - 2/2

You’re doing everything right — attending duroos, watching Islamic videos, filling pages with notes. But deep down… you’re not changing. The more you learn, the more disconnected you feel. You thought seeking knowledge would soften your heart. But it’s only making your head heavier. You’re probably moving fast, but not forward. Why? Because somewhere along the way, we skipped what the Salaf never did. Study the explanation of Kitab al-ʿIlm by Imam Abu Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Harb (d. 234 AH) — the...

The Salafi Creed in 33 Lines: Al-Ha’iyyah by Ibn Abi Dawud | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

You’ve been told Allah hears and sees — but then you’re told “Don’t take it literally.” You hear about His Names and Attributes — and it’s all explained away as metaphor. How did something so clear become so confusing? Because the ʿAqeedah of the Salaf was replaced — by opinions, philosophy, and reinterpreted religion. This poem, Al-Ha’iyyah by Ibn Abi Dawud, brings it all back. Thirty-three lines that defended the truth when people tried to distort it — especially about Allah, His Names and Att...

Did the Prophet ﷺ Stop Women from Going Out? | Ep. 2 | 40 Hadith on Women #AMAU

Some say women must never leave the house. Others treat it like there are no guidelines at all. But what did the Prophet ﷺ actually say? In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the second hadith from the book الأربعون النسائية (The Forty Hadiths for Women) — a concise and powerful narration from ʿAishah رضي الله عنها: “Permission has been granted for you to go out for your needs.” (Agreed upon – al-Bukhari and Muslim) What’s the context of this statement? A moment involving Sawdah رض...

Why Do Practising Muslims Face Trials? | #18 The Disease and the Cure #AMAU

We see righteous Muslims praying, fasting, and following the Sunnah — yet when disasters strike, they’re not spared. Floods sweep away families. Earthquakes crush entire neighbourhoods. Oppression increases. And even those who stayed obedient to Allah suffer alongside others. Why does Allah’s punishment descend on a whole community — even when there are righteous people among them? In this episode of Ad-Daa wa Ad-Dawaa, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains Imam Ibn al-Qayyim’s deep insight into co...

#69 The Story of Abdullah Ibn Ubayy - Madinah’s Chief Hypocrite | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #seerah

He was on the verge of becoming king — until the Prophet ﷺ arrived. In public, he claimed Islam. Behind closed doors, he stirred conflict, mocked the believers, and fed secrets to their enemies. ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy wasn’t just any man — he was the head of the hypocrites in Madinah. In this gripping episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan traces his story: from his bitter heart at being sidelined, to his fake conversion after Badr, to the moments he disrespected the Prophet ﷺ to his face — and the cha...

Do You Really Know Allah? | Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble #AMAU

“Don’t take it literally.” “That would be Tashbeeh.” “Allah doesn’t really have a face, hand, or anger — it’s metaphorical.” You’ve heard these claims. Maybe in a lecture. Maybe in online keyboard wars. Maybe in a casual conversation. But are they true? In this session, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Tawheed al-Asma wa as-Sifat — belief in Allah’s Names and Attributes — with structure and proof, just as it was understood by the Salaf of this Ummah. You’ll learn: - What it means to affirm Al...

Why Only Allah Deserves Your Worship || Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU Part - 2/2

Is there a valid difference of opinion in the most fundamental part of Islam? Is making dua to the dead not really worship? Have today’s trends and voices made you question what once felt clear? These aren’t fringe questions. They are issues no Muslim can afford to ignore.

Arafah Se Tashreeq Tak - Ghayr Haaji Kya Kare? | Shaikh Zafar Ul Hasan #AMAU

Aap Hajj par nahi gaye... Toh kya Arafah aur uske baad ke dinon ki fazeelat se aap mehroom ho gaye? Kya ye din bhi aap sirf TV par Hajj ka manzar dekh kar, ya Eid ki shopping kar ke guzaar denge? Ye din — Arafah se le kar Tashreeq tak — aise a’maal aur mauqon se bhare hue hain jo aapke Imaan ko roshan, aur aapke nama-e-a’maal ko bhaari kar sakte hain. Wo a’maal kya hain?

Get To Know Allah - The Lord of The Worlds | Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin #AMAU

If someone asked you to explain what it means that Allah is the Creator, the Sustainer, the One in charge of every single thing—would you be able to answer? Most Muslims would nod, but few can actually put that belief into words, let alone live by it. That’s where Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah comes in—not as an abstract category, but as the core of how you see Allah. In this session, Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin strips it back to the basics: What does it really mean that Allah alone creates, owns, governs, p...

The Mindset Needed to Be a Student of Knowledge | Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble #AMAU

Many begin their journey to seek knowledge. Few stay. Fewer still reach the end. Most people start strong — signing up for courses, attending classes, and watching lectures. But without structure, consistency, and the right mindset… they fall off. Months pass, and they’re back to where they started — or worse, they think they’re progressing when they’re actually lost. This talk is your wake-up call. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble lays down exactly what it takes to be a real student of knowledge — ho...

NEW SERIES: 40 Hadiths Every Muslim Woman Should Know | Ep. 1 | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU

Ask any scholar or student of knowledge—and they’ll tell you: some of the most common, urgent questions they get are from women. About menstruation. Purity. Prayer. Hijab. Going out. Marriage. Divorce. But not enough people are teaching it. To address this gap, here begins the explanation of الأربعون النسائية (Al-Arba'een An-Nisaa’iyyah)—a collection of 43 hadith compiled by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Shakir ash-Shareef, each one dealing with rulings specific to women, drawn from the Sunnah and explain...
