Shayk Ibn Baz رحمه الله said, "It is a must that you strive upon spreading knowledge with all your energy and strength, and [to not allow] the people of falsehood to be more active in [spreading] their falsehood." Majmu' al-Fatawa 27/711
Three strange paradoxes:
1) Nuh عليه السلام called out to the animals once, and they boarded the ark, while he spent 950 years calling out to humans, but they chose to drown.
- A healthy instinct (fitrah) is better than a sick mind (aql).
2) Firaun’s wife was established on deen while she was in the house of the greatest tyrant, and Noah’s عليه السلام wife relapsed in the house of the greatest preacher!
- There is no excuse of circumstances to be righteous or corrupt. You choose your way
3) Ibrahim عليه السلام asked for his son to be slaughtered, and he complied, and Noah عليه السلام asked for his son for life, but he refused!!
- Some are righteous to the extent of astonishment, and some are impious to the extent of wonder!
I often think of the first time Sheikh al-Hudhaify led Salah in Masjid al-Nabawy. In his second rak'ah, he made a mistake and you could almost feel the weight of leading prayer in the Prophets Masjid for the first time.
Nearly 46 years ago. Just a legend unlike any living legend
