I use this timeline in class to help students see an isnād as more than just a list of names.

Placing transmitters within their generational cohorts gives a better sense of the depth and continuity of early hadith transmission.

It is from the etiquette of learning Islamic Knowledge to let your teachers know before hand if you will be missing a class along with the reason for absence.

AI and my Ḥanafī Book

A paragraph I've had to add in to the introduction of my book on the Ḥanafī madhhab. While some may feel this is not wise and that I should at least use some of these apps, I prefer the good old method of using either pdfs or hardcopies and finding quotes myself. It's more fulfilling Alhamdulillah.

[Sikander Iqbal @MaulanaSikander]

Remember when Ertuğrul was the craze, and some brothers used the excuse of watching it to “become braver” and “instil warrior-like qualities” within themselves? They claimed it would awaken courage, manhood, and a spirit of jihād. Yet the series came and went, and many of those same people remained silent on the Gaza war for three years straight — no tears, no outrage, no concern to utter the truth, no action.

Others went even further, twisting the Sharīʿah and manufacturing weak excuses to justify their obsession, as though binge-watching dramatised battles could somehow produce men of substance.

Then came the Salahudeen series, and once again the same empty slogans returned. But the only jazbah and zeal on display was the passion with which they switched the television on and off.

This is the reality: many of these claims are hollow. They speak of “instilling love for jihād” and “concern for the Ummah”, yet their lives bear no trace of sacrifice, discipline, or sincerity. Real men are not produced by screens, scripts, and cinematic soundtracks. Warriors are not forged by entertainment.
The path to courage, gheerah, and true concern for the Ummah is not through dramatised fantasies, but through adherence to the way of the Salaf — in creed, in thought, in conduct, and in sacrifice.

The Salaf did not learn bravery from actors. They learnt it from the Qurʾān, from the Sunnah, from ṣuḥbah with the righteous, from mujāhadah against the nafs, and from living for a cause greater than themselves.

If your “love for jihād” dies when the credits roll, it was never love to begin with. If your concern for the Ummah is confined to the sofa, it is nothing but self-deception. Real passionate indignation is proven when it costs you — your comfort, your wealth, your reputation, and your desires.

Salawat

اللهم صل وسلم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وبارك وسلم تسليما كثيرا كثيرا

I was discussing with the final year students the other day about the virtues of Salawat as the hadith on the virtues of Salawat came in our hadith lesson. I asked them, “What is one of the greatest rewards of sending Salawat upon the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam in this world?" Numerous responses were given. I then told the students what I feel in my humble and weak opinion is one of the greatest rewards in this world; Allah the Almighty does for you what He did for the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasllam. You will become almost a replica of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasllam without Prophethood or becoming on the same level as the Prophet himself, of course.

What I mean by this is that you will notice your character improving and heading closer to the character of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, you will notice your worship improving and heading closer to the worship of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, you will notice your life improving and heading closer to the life of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam.

You’ll also notice that Allah the Almighty gives you some of the bounties that He gave to the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam; that includes respect, honour, dignity, resilience, strength, courage and much more. You’ll notice less people attacking you and you’ll notice that those who attack you are not given much attention. You’ll notice people naturally developing a love in their heart for you and you’ll realise your influence is a lot greater.

I had this interesting observation which I don’t know if it’s true, but those who read abundant Salawat upon the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, it is possible that their appearance and even facial expressions become closer to the appearance and facial expressions of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. Potentially even the smell of their body could begin to resemble a fraction of the blessed bodily fragrance of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam. Allah knows best about this one, but it is possible.

Of course, no one despite the amount of Salawat will reach the status of the Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, but because you’re constantly sending Salawat upon Allah the Almighty’s greatest creation, Allah the Almighty will give you some of the blessings that He gave to His greatest creation.

While none of the above is explicitly mentioned as the direct virtue of Salawat, the indications are all there.

And Allah knows best.

Allah Elevates Those Who Engage in ‘Ilm Despite Bodily Defects

I found this statement in Al-ʿIlal of ʿAlī ibn al-Madīnī raḥimahullah (d.234 AH), pg.120. Ibn Sīrīn raḥimahullah (d.110 AH) states regarding the students of ʿAbdullah ibn Masʿūd raḍiyallahu ʿanhu:

كلُّهم كَانَ فيْهِ عَيْبٌ كَانَ الحارِثُ أعْوَرَ وعَبِيْدَةُ أعْوَرَ ومسرُوْقٌ أحْدَبَ وكان علْقَمَةُ ـ يقوْلُوْن ـ مُقْعَدًا وكان شريح كوْسَجًا
All of them had a [bodily] defect, Al-Ḥārith and ʿAbīdah had a defective eye, Masrūq was a hunchback, ʿAlqamah — they say — was disabled and Shurayḥ could not grow a beard.

The names of these scholars are etched in the history of fiqh and ḥadīth, yet as we can see, they suffered from some sort of bodily defect. Firstly, that didn’t stop them from pursuing ‘Ilm, and also, the defect did not stop their legacies from being preserved.

His extensive travels are not easily captured on a static image. When read alongside the timeline, the overall trajectory becomes much clearer.

It has been one week since I was suspended by the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (@the_mpts) for 15 months.

The suspension was secured by the jewish lobby, through the @gmcuk, because of my posts against genocide, 'israel', and jewish supremacy.

Since it's December, here is a memory: me working the Christmas on-call as a foundation (first year) doctor. I would always volunteer to cover Christmas for my colleagues. Before university, I volunteered at a dementia care home and would go in on Christmas Day to help.

I miss my job. I miss my patients.

This is not over. We will fight. The pro-'israel' jewish lobby has exposed how it undermines British institutions, independence, and sovereignty by persecuting us.

They call it a victory. We call it proof.

Our cause is just. We will win.
More on this soon.

Funeral prayer was just performed for 54 unidentified victims, whose bodies were recently handed over by Israel as part of the exchange deal. The families of the victims were unable to identify them due to the extensive mutilation and disfigurement inflicted upon them while in Israeli captivity.

According to medical sources, most of the bodies showed clear signs of torture, abuse, and field execution when handed over by the Israeli occupation authorities.
