Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah

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.

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.

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.

For sixteen months, the Prophet ﷺ and his companions prayed toward Jerusalem. Then, in the middle of Rajab, everything changed. But what happened when the revelation came down during Asr prayer? And what about those companions praying miles away in Masjid Quba who had no idea the Qibla had just shifted? In this episode of the Seerah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan takes us through one of the most pivotal moments in Islamic history: the day the Muslim Ummah turned toward the Kaaba. Discover the dramatic scene of companions mid-prayer, the single messenger who changed everything, and the Jews of Medina who called the Muslims "dimwitted" for this divine command. But that's not all. Why did the Prophet ﷺ long to face the Kaaba while still honouring Jerusalem? What hidden fiqh rulings emerged from this single event? And how does the fasting of Ashura connect to this momentous occasion? The stage is now set for the greatest battle in Islamic history: a battle where Allah Himself promised forgiveness to its participants. Are you ready to witness what happens next?

We spend years working on our careers, chasing promotions, saving for homes, building comfort for our families. From the outside, it looks like growth. But in the sight of Allah, what's our real balance sheet? At every Janazah, we feel it for a moment: watching someone lowered into the grave and thinking, "One day that'll be me." Yet within hours, we're back to the grind. Back to chasing the same wealth and routines that won't follow us past the soil. The Prophet ﷺ told us that three things accompany every person to the grave: family, wealth, and deeds. But only one remains. The other two - the very things we obsess over - abandon us the moment we need them most. So what are you really investing in? Your children and wealth, which stay behind? Or your deeds, which remain with you forever? In this reminder, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan unpacks the Akhirah investment strategy every believer needs to hear: - Why Abu Bakr رضي الله عنه became the greatest in just 30 years - not through more worship, but through the state of his heart. - Why Hassan al-Basri warned that time with family and wealth is devastatingly short. - What it means to own two houses - the one you obsess over now, and the one you'll live in forever. - And what really decides whether your grave becomes a garden of Jannah or a pit of Fire. This isn't about Dunya's net worth. It's about the only net worth that matters. The one revealed when you're lowered into the ground. What are you leaving behind?

You're crushing it at work or uni, but can't stop looking at what you shouldn't when you're alone. You give charity publicly but backbite privately. You know the names of all the Premier League players, but "not much" about the scholars of Ahlus Sunnah. Your parents think you're the perfect Muslim child while you're drowning in guilt cycles you can't break. Religious enough to feel shame, worldly enough to keep sinning. Don't you think it's time to change? Watch Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan break down this forgotten treatise by Ibn Taymiyyah's student Ibn al-Habbal - battle-tested advice from someone who survived real consequences. He explains how to protect your heart and your time, the only two things that actually matter. How to stop trying to please everyone and focus on pleasing Allah alone. The brutal reminder: You're ageing but your sins aren't decreasing. Every breath is documented. You'll answer for every moment you had health, free time, and youth. What's your response going to be? Learn what's destroying Muslims today that's worse than private sins - the same extremism that ruined past nations. Going overboard with righteous people, and drifting towards shirk by asking dead saints for help instead of making dua directly to Allah.

The expeditions had begun. Quraysh's caravans - loaded with the wealth stripped from the Muslims in Makkah - became the new target. The first expeditions passed without major confrontation, but each one edged closer to the inevitable clash. Then came Nakhlah. A sealed letter. A mission meant only to observe. Twelve men who suddenly found themselves standing at a crossroads: strike the caravan now and risk spilling blood in the sacred month, or let it pass and lose the chance forever. One arrow was loosed. A man fell. Captives were taken. The first spoils of war were in Muslim hands. What followed shook everything. Accusations, anger, and uncertainty filled Madinah. Even the Muslims themselves were unsure of what had just happened - until revelation from Allah ﷻ descended, clarifying the truth and turning the tide. In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explores: - The Prophet's ﷺ earliest expeditions and why only the Muhajirun participated in them. - The Nakhlah raid and its far-reaching consequences. - A tender moment that gave 'Ali رضي الله عنه the name Abu Turab, and a chilling prophecy about his fate. - Lessons from deviation, and why the chains of scholarship protect the Ummah. A single decision at Nakhlah pushed the Muslims closer to what Quraysh had long feared: open battle.

We wake up running after deadlines, studies, careers, and distractions that never end. We scroll for hours, but never feel fulfilled. We complain about the weakness of our Ummah, yet struggle to see where strength begins. And at the back of our minds sits a question we try to ignore: what if death comes before we figure it out? This khutbah cuts to the heart of that struggle. It's about the gap between what we live for and what we were actually created for - and why that gap decides everything. And when the answer finally comes, it circles back to the very first command in the Qur'an, and the last words every believer longs to say: La ilaha illallah, the shahada.
