Did the Prophet ﷺ Stop Women from Going Out? | Ep. 2 | 40 Hadith on Women #AMAU
Some say women must never leave the house. Others treat it like there are no guidelines at all. But what did the Prophet ﷺ actually say? In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the second hadith from the book الأربعون النسائية (The Forty Hadiths for Women) — a concise and powerful narration from ʿAishah رضي الله عنها: "Permission has been granted for you to go out for your needs." (Agreed upon – al-Bukhari and Muslim) What's the context of this statement? A moment involving Sawdah رضي الله عنها and ʿUmar رضي الله عنه sparked this guidance — and it opens up a meaningful discussion around what qualifies as a "need" (Haajah), and how modesty was practised at the time. You'll also learn: - Who ʿAishah رضي الله عنها was — her early life, marriage to the Prophet ﷺ, and her deep scholarship - How the Prophet's ﷺ wives balanced public needs with modesty - The fiqh rulings derived from this narration - The deeper wisdom behind this hadith and what scholars have said about it Grounded, clear, and relevant — this session provides practical guidance for Muslims navigating this topic today.

Why Do Practising Muslims Face Trials? | #18 The Disease and the Cure #AMAU
We see righteous Muslims praying, fasting, and following the Sunnah — yet when disasters strike, they're not spared. Floods sweep away families. Earthquakes crush entire neighbourhoods. Oppression increases. And even those who stayed obedient to Allah suffer alongside others. Why does Allah's punishment descend on a whole community — even when there are righteous people among them? In this episode of Ad-Daa wa Ad-Dawaa, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains Imam Ibn al-Qayyim's deep insight into collective punishment. Backed by Quran, Sunnah, and the words of the Salaf, the lesson explores why staying silent in the face of sin… may cost us all. Watch now. The reason might be closer to your life — and your silence — than you think.

#69 The Story of Abdullah Ibn Ubayy - Madinah's Chief Hypocrite | Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #seerah
He was on the verge of becoming king — until the Prophet ﷺ arrived. In public, he claimed Islam. Behind closed doors, he stirred conflict, mocked the believers, and fed secrets to their enemies. 'Abdullah ibn Ubayy wasn't just any man — he was the head of the hypocrites in Madinah. In this gripping episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan traces his story: from his bitter heart at being sidelined, to his fake conversion after Badr, to the moments he disrespected the Prophet ﷺ to his face — and the chaos he sparked among the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم. You'll learn: - Why the Prophet ﷺ gave his own cloak for his burial - How his plots nearly divided the believers - What the Quraysh told him in a secret letter — and how he responded - How Allah exposed him in the Qur'an - The events that led to unrest in Madinah and heightened tensions with Quraysh A man driven by envy. A city at a crossroads. Watch now to witness one of the most dangerous figures in the early Seerah — and the Prophet's ﷺ response to him.

Do You Really Know Allah? | Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble #AMAU
"Don't take it literally." "That would be Tashbeeh." "Allah doesn't really have a face, hand, or anger — it's metaphorical." You've heard these claims. Maybe in a lecture. Maybe in online keyboard wars. Maybe in a casual conversation. But are they true? In this session, Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble explains Tawheed al-Asma wa as-Sifat — belief in Allah's Names and Attributes — with structure and proof, just as it was understood by the Salaf of this Ummah. You'll learn: - What it means to affirm Allah's Names and Attributes without denial, distortion, or resemblance - Why the Qur'an and Sunnah speak clearly — and why that's enough for the believer - How deviant groups like the Jahmiyyah, Mu'tazilah, and Ash'aris went astray by placing philosophy over revelation - And how this part of Tawheed shapes your worship, your dua, and your connection to Allah This isn't a side topic. It's the foundation of knowing the One you worship — without compromise.

Why Only Allah Deserves Your Worship || Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan #AMAU Part - 2/2
Is there a valid difference of opinion in the most fundamental part of Islam? Is making dua to the dead not really worship? Have today's trends and voices made you question what once felt clear? These aren't fringe questions. They are issues no Muslim can afford to ignore. In this comprehensive 12-hour deep dive, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan returns to the bedrock of our religion: Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah — the oneness of Allah in worship. In this video, you'll uncover: - What "Ilah" truly means — and how misunderstanding it shakes your entire faith - Why "La ilaha illa Allah" is not just a phrase — but a binding contract with conditions - Rational and textual proofs of Tawheed, broken down step by step - What the Prophets actually called to — and how modern distortions betray their message - Clear definitions of worship, dua, shafa'ah, istighathah — and where shirk quietly creeps in - The difference between Tawheed ar-Ruboobiyyah and Tawheed al-Uloohiyyah — and why confusing them is dangerous You'll hear direct evidence from the Qur'an and Sunnah, insights from the Imams of Islam, and responses to the most common modern-day confusions. This isn't a lecture for specialists. It's urgent study for every Muslim. Because every Prophet was sent with the same message: "Worship Allah alone, and avoid everything worshipped besides Him." If your Tawheed is unclear or compromised — nothing else you build will stand. Make time for what matters most.

Arafah Se Tashreeq Tak - Ghayr Haaji Kya Kare? | Shaikh Zafar Ul Hasan #AMAU
Aap Hajj par nahi gaye... Toh kya Arafah aur uske baad ke dinon ki fazeelat se aap mehroom ho gaye? Kya ye din bhi aap sirf TV par Hajj ka manzar dekh kar, ya Eid ki shopping kar ke guzaar denge? Ye din — Arafah se le kar Tashreeq tak — aise a'maal aur mauqon se bhare hue hain jo aapke Imaan ko roshan, aur aapke nama-e-a'maal ko bhaari kar sakte hain. Wo a'maal kya hain? Kaunse amal ghayr-haaji afraad ke liye zariya-e-najat ban sakte hain? Aaiye, is dars mein jaante hain.

Get To Know Allah - The Lord of The Worlds | Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin #AMAU
If someone asked you to explain what it means that Allah is the Creator, the Sustainer, the One in charge of every single thing—would you be able to answer? Most Muslims would nod, but few can actually put that belief into words, let alone live by it. That's where Tawheed Ar-Ruboobiyyah comes in—not as an abstract category, but as the core of how you see Allah. In this session, Ustadh Sadiq A. Yasin strips it back to the basics: What does it really mean that Allah alone creates, owns, governs, provides—and no one shares in that? Why do so many acknowledge Allah as Lord, yet still fall into shirk? And what hidden assumptions do we carry that quietly contradict what we claim to believe? This isn't just theory. It's the foundation every Muslim needs before they can truly say La ilaha illa Allah and mean it.

The Mindset Needed to Be a Student of Knowledge | Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble #AMAU
Many begin their journey to seek knowledge. Few stay. Fewer still reach the end. Most people start strong — signing up for courses, attending classes, and watching lectures. But without structure, consistency, and the right mindset… they fall off. Months pass, and they're back to where they started — or worse, they think they're progressing when they're actually lost. This talk is your wake-up call. Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble lays down exactly what it takes to be a real student of knowledge — how to start, what to prioritise, what to avoid, and how to stay the course even when motivation fades. What you'll learn: – Where and how to begin your studies – The mindset that separates real students from quitters – Why most people never last on this path – How to fix your study routine if you've gone off-track If you're serious about seeking knowledge — this is where you begin. Or begin again.
