Shaykh al-Albaanee Debates a Supporter of Celebrating the Mawlid - This is an audio translation of a discussion that took place when a follower of Muhammad al-'Alawee came to debate the Muhaddith of our time about the permissibility of celebrating the Prophet's (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) Birthday. As was the norm during the life of Shaykh Muhammad Naasirud-Deen al-Albaanee (d.1420H), people from various sects and group would often come to debate him and leave defeated, or convinced of the correctness of his 'aqeedah and manhaj. So this Arabic-to-English audio recording is presented in hopes of convincing those who have doubts about the unlawfulness and innovation of celebrating the Mawlid that this is an unlawful and innovated celebration - having no connection to the Religion of Islam whatsoever.  Please note that the original Arabic discussion has been edited for content by SunnahPublishing.net.

Salafee Condemnation of the Fort Hood Shooting and a Disavowal of Anwar al-Awlaki - Abul-Hasan Maalik covers various points of benefit concerning the Fort Hood shootings and the resulting aftermath.

Shaykh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree Warns Against Anwar al-Awlaki - In the aftermath of the heinous shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the shooter's and other Khaarijee renegades' connection to Anwar al-Awlaki has come to light, especially in the western media.  Awlaki is the common denominator in many of the recent terrorist acts and attempts that have recently occurred.  Awlaki is not one to carry out such attacks himself, rather he incites and inspires young ignorant Muslims to commit such crimes in the name of Islam.  So the noble Scholar of Madinah, Saudi Arabia: Shaykh 'Ubayd Ibn 'Abdullaah al-Jaabiree has delivered this warning against al-Awlaki.  The Shaykh is presented with three of al-Awlaki's statements that impy mass takfeer of the Muslims and the Shaykh goes onto reply to these falsehoods.  The Shaykh also hits the nail on the head when he says that al-Awlaki has become polluted with the ideasof Sayyid Qutb - who is undoubtedly the catalyst for the modern day acts of terrorism committed in the name of Islam.

Since some of the local ignoramuses have regurgitated the arguments of their Imaams in misguidance Muhammad Zaahid al-Kawtharee, Muhammad 'Alawee al-Maalikee, Nuh Ha Mim Keller and others.  The speaker goes onto compile an abundance of evidences from the noble Qur`aan and the authentic Sunnah proving beyond a shadow of a doubt how the Attributes of Allaah were understood by the Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) and his Companions.  He lends further support to this evidence through the statements of the early Imaams from the Salaf as well as the later Scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah.

Building Momentum: The Motivation to Worship - Our brother, Abu Hafsah Kashiff Khan, begins this reminder with mentioning that the argument of the western Christians in their da'wah is that one must believe in God to be a moral and just person and that without religion (i.e. without Christianity) one will necessarily be an immoral person. However, a recent study done through scientific research methods, which has led modern non-Muslim society to the conclusion that Atheism does not increase immorality, thus putting the Christian argument to rest. Then, the speaker proceeds to expound upon the the proper reason and motivation to worship Allaah, as outlined in the Qur`an and explained by the orthodox Muslim Scholars of the past.
