Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah

A caravan returning from Sham set the stage for the first major battle in Islam. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how a simple attempt to intercept Quraysh's wealth became Yawm al-Furqan, the day Allah separated truth from falsehood. He covers the precise date of Badr (Friday, 17 Ramadan, 2 AH), why the Prophet ﷺ left Madinah without calling for a full mobilisation, and how a small group of Sahabah was chosen for a test they never expected. You'll also hear why the people of Badr were given a unique status, along with early incidents that showed Allah's support for them. This session establishes the cause and context of Badr before the military details continue in the next episode.

Introducing "Majalis Ilmiyyah", our brand new series on issues that matter to students of Islamic knowledge. In every episode, our teachers discuss topics students rarely hear about on social platforms: the challenges, the methods, and the moments of growth that unfold within circles of knowledge. These conversations, often discussed only among serious full-time students of knowledge, are now brought to you so that every aspiring learner can benefit and walk that path with understanding. In this first episode, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble and Sheikh Abu Bakr Al-Khalafi open that door with a deep discussion about books, the lifelong companion of every student's journey. Together, they explore: - How should a student build their library? - What is the right way to approach and read a book? - How do scholars choose the right print and commentary, and how should a student approach them? - How can reading with purpose shape who you become as a student of knowledge? If you have ever felt lost between bookshelves, unsure how to study or what to read next, this episode will help you find direction, with the permission of Allah.

Imagine waking up one day and realising everything you believed was true… was a lie. The scariest part? You were convinced you were right the entire time. Ignorance isn't harmless. It's the disease that blinds a person while they believe they can see. Across the world, Muslims have endless access to knowledge - reminders, verses, hadith, fatawa - all just a scroll away. Yet never has confusion been so widespread. Sins parade as "freedom." Music is suddenly rebranded as "halal" by modern du'āt despite clear proof to the contrary. Zina, alcohol, and misguidance are no longer shameful - they're personal "choices," "differences of opinion," and "no big deal." The signs of the Hour flicker around us while people argue online. The guardians of knowledge diminish, and ignorance confidently rises to take their place - shaping beliefs, corrupting morals, and slowly dismantling the Ummah from within. People feel confident discussing matters that once made the greatest Sahabah pause. Opinions replace evidence. Impulse replaces forbearance. Foolishness replaces understanding. Ignorance isn't just "not knowing." It is turning away from the truth when it comes. It is rejecting what saves the soul. It is the very reason past nations fell - even after witnessing miracles with their own eyes. It is why some Muslims cannot recognise truth anymore - even when it stands clearly in front of them. It is why sins feel easier than obedience. It is why misguided voices sound convincing. It is why the heart feels dark, heavy, and spiritually dead. This lecture by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan dives deep into the Qur'an and Sunnah to expose: • How ignorance destroys Iman • Why it leads to shirk, sin, and moral collapse • The spiritual blindness that blocks truth • Why Allah turns away from those who turn away from knowledge • The simple, powerful cures Allah has given us So now, the real question comes to be - are you okay being ignorant? Or will you revive your heart with the light Allah revealed?

When people stop replying. When doors stay closed no matter how many times you knock. Like many others, you probably return to one thing: You make wudu. You raise your hands… or you fall into sujood. "Ya Allah…" and instead of words, only tears come out. Because in your weakest moments, you need Him the most. You know that He's aware of what you've lost, what you've tried to hide, what still hurts. You realise He's the only one who truly knows you… but do you know Him? That's where this journey begins. Knowing the Names and Attributes of Allah - a new AMAU series where Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Fiqh al-Asma al-Husna by Sheikh Abdur Razzaq al-Badr (حفظه الله). In this first lesson, you'll uncover why this knowledge is the foundation of Iman, why every prayer, every du'a, every act of worship stands or falls on how well you know your Lord. You'll learn what it truly means to have fiqh of Allah's Names, and how knowing Him transforms everything - your worship, your patience, your peace. Because once you truly know who He is… you'll never feel lost again.

Every day, Muslims chase something. A better job, a higher position, a name that people recognise. We tell ourselves it's just "for financial stability" or "to give my family a good life". But somewhere along the way, that chase stops being a means and becomes the purpose. The Prophet ﷺ warned us about this chase in one terrifying image: two hungry wolves let loose upon a flock of sheep. Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, one of the great scholars of Islam, unpacked this hadith in his timeless work Dhamm al-Maal wal-Jaah — showing how the hunger for money and fame tears into the heart more viciously than wolves ever could. But Ibn Rajab didn't stop there. He explained how these desires quietly grow, how they disguise themselves as "hard work" or "success," and how they can make even acts of worship lose their sincerity. He exposed how wealth can blind, how status can corrupt, and how seeking leadership can ruin a person long before they realise it. This 8-hour explanation isn't just an old book lesson. It's a mirror. A mirror for the 21st-century Muslim drowning in work, bills, and social media noise - chasing promotions, likes, and validation, all while the soul grows emptier. So what happens when that hunger takes over? When your career, your image, your "success" become the measure of your worth? When even your acts of worship begin to seek attention instead of Allah's pleasure? And what does Islam truly say about living in the dunya without being consumed by it? Find out through the words of Ibn Rajab, and rediscover what it means to be content, grounded, and truly rich in the sight of Allah.

Can your sins affect your lifespan? If they do, is it your years that get reduced or the barakah that disappears? In Episode 22 of Ad-Daa' wa Ad-Dawaa' (The Disease and the Cure), Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains how sins quietly drain a person's life. They block acts of obedience, make worship heavy, and turn repentance into a struggle. One sin opens the door to another, until the heart grows numb and the years pass with little to show. Sins waste what could've been a life full of khayr, while obedience brings ease, clarity, and barakah - even in a short lifespan. Watch this episode. It might show you what's been taking the life out of your worship, and how to bring it back.

Born Muslim or a revert for years. Praying five times a day. Yet you still Google "is my prayer valid?" at every mistake in Salah. You trade daily but barely know the forms of Riba. You make business deals without learning the rulings of Buyu'. You'll debate world politics with confidence, but when it comes to Taharah or the fundamentals of the Deen? Silence. The scholars of Islam memorised on their deathbeds, still learning until their last breath. Meanwhile, you keep putting it off, living as if knowledge is for "later," while every day takes you closer to meeting Allah. Allah raises the people of knowledge above all others. So what are you waiting for? In this reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unveils the one reason you were created, exposes why "ChatGPT fatwas" and shortcuts are ruining your Deen, and revives the tried and tested method of seeking Islamic knowledge that the Ummah has forgotten. Don't let another day slip away. Every delay is meeting Allah with less. Watch now, and make this the day your journey begins.
