Dreams and Dream Interpretations

Allah Almighty says: "Behold! Verily on the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve; those who believe and guard against evil. For them are glad tidings, in the life of this world and in the Hereafter." The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) explained the glad tidings of the life of this world to be dreams. He said it is: "the good dream that a Muslim sees or is seen for him". The world of dreams is an amazing and intriguing one. The early scholar of Islam Ibn Qutaybah says: "There is nothing that people deal with from the different sciences that is more obscure, delicate, exalted, noble, difficult, and problematic than dreams, because they are a type of revelation and a kind of prophethood".

Dreams and Dream Interpretations Anwar Al Awlaki

The Dust will Never Settle Down Anwar Al Awlaki

The Dust will Never Settle Down

There has been recently an increase of unacceptable behavior from the kuffar towards our beloved Prophet. So what is the ruling of sharia on such incidents and how did the Sahaba deal with such people and what do our scholars say about them. About this and more Imam Anwar will deliver a talk titled: "The Dust will Never Settle Down". Allaah will suffice His Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) against the criminals who mock him. He says (interpretation of the meaning): "For he who hates you (O Muhammad), he will be cut off (from posterity and every good thing in this world and in the Hereafter)" [al-Kawthar 108:3] i.e., he is scorned and humiliated and cut off from all that is good. When the Muslims besieged a stronghold and its people resisted, then they heard them mocking and reviling the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), they would sense that victory was at hand, and it would only be a short time before Allaah granted them victory, to avenge His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Al-Saarim al-Maslool (p. 116-117).

Battle of The Hearts and Minds

This lecture was delivered to a South African audience via live phone link on Sunday 11 May 2008. It was part of a Conference held by PureIslam Da'wah and Publications themed: Holding on to Hot Coals - Surviving as a Muslim in the West. An important topic that is going unnoticed by the majority of people around the world. With the advancement of communications in the world, the enemies are not only plotting away with their weapons but also with their lies portrayed in the media spreading all sorts of lies to justify the slaughter of innocent human beings.

Allah Is Preparing Us For Victory Anwar Al Awlaki

Allah Is Preparing Us For Victory

This title is taken from the book on history Al-Kaamil by Imam Ibn Atheer (rahimahullah). If Allah 'Azza wa Jall wants an end He will create for it the means that will lead towards that end. If Allah 'Azza wa Jall wants victory for this Ummah, then Allah 'Azza wa Jall creates the circumstances for that. So you can sense victory is coming by looking at what is happening today.

Understanding the Qur'an

Mere decorations and occasional recitation upon the death of a family member are just some of the ways that the use and purpose of the Qur'an has been misconstrued. Sheikh Anwar Al-Awlaki explains and reminds the listener of the true purpose for the Quran's revelation. The Sheikh looks at examples such as Ibn Umar taking 14 years to memorize Surah Baqarah, whereas nowadays it could take as little as a few months. Why the discrepancy? It was due to their application of each ayat before moving on to another. One must remember to ponder, reflect and understand the Quran properly, thereby actualizing the true reason for its revelation.

Al-Hijrah

Sh Anwar speaks about the necessity of understanding and performing Hijra for the sake of Allah.

Surah/Chapter 008 - Al-Anfal. Verse 72.

English Translation of the Meaning (The Noble Qur'an)
Lo! those who believed and left their homes and strove with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah, and those who took them in and helped them; these are protecting friends one of another. And those who believed but did not leave their homes, ye have no duty to protect them till they leave their homes; but if they seek help from you in the matter of religion then it is your duty to help (them) except against a folk between whom and you there is a treaty. Allah is Seer of what ye do.

The Story Of The Bull Anwar Al Awlaki

The Story Of The Bull

Dividing and Conquering the Muslim lands; the speaker discusses this political phenomenon with a simple parable from the Sunnah, of a lion that cunningly divides and devours three bulls. The bulls remained too much of a meal for the lion while they held together, defending each others backs. The lion thus adopted the art of deceiving, thus causing the bulls to fall into suspicion and apathy, dividing their strength, rendering them useless against the bitter bite of the enemy.
