SACRIFICE IN ISLAM
admin3 on June 13th, 2010
Leeds Makkah Masjid is honoured to be hosting Shaykh Muhammad Bin Yahya An Ninowy on Thursday 17th June at 7:30pm after Asr prayer. He will insha Allah be talking about Sacrifice in Islam, with particular reference to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique (may Allah be pleased with him).
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddique (RA) was the closest companion of our beloved Messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He was well known for his devotion to the Holy Prophet, and the example of his love is one for us all to follow.
The Holy Prophet (pbuh) has said in a famous Hadith narrated by Imam Bukhari that no one can be a true believer until his love for him (i.e. the Prophet) is greater then his love for his parents, children and all of humanity. No one demonstrated this quality better that Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique (RA), and thus he is honoured with the title of the best of all creation after the prophets and messengers.
This quality of loving the Messenger is extremely relevant today in view of the repeated attacks on the honour and dignity of the Holy Prophet, highlighted by the recent deplorable Facebook campaign. In this month of Rabi -ut Thani, the month of Hazrat Abu Bakr’s passing from this world, we pray that Allah Ta’ala enables us to follow in his exalted footsteps and leads us to the door of ultimate mercy and light.
Shaykh Ninowy is a well known scholar originally born in Syria and currently residing in the USA. Please see below for a more detailed biography.
