Explanation of The book “Clarification and explanation of many issues related to Hajj, Umrah, and visitation in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah“ by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullah
He (Ibn Baz rahimahullah), may Allah have mercy on him, said:
Chapter: Regarding the rulings and etiquettes of visitation
He, may Allah have mercy on him, said: It is recommended to visit the Masjid of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) before Hajj or after it, due to what is established in the Sahihayn from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, who said: the Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said:
«صَلَاةٌ في مَسْجِدِي هذا خَيْرٌ مِن أَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ فِيما سِوَاهُ، إِلَّا المَسْجِدَ الحَرَامَ»
“A prayer in this masjid of mine is better than a thousand prayers in any other masjid except al-Masjid al-Harām.”
To Those Who Perform Multiple Umrahs in One Journey

Aishah, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا , as mentioned earlier, initially entered ihram for ‘Umrah like the other wives of the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ intending tamattu’. However, during the journey she began menstruating, so the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ instructed her to perform ghusl and enter ihram for Hajj. Thus, she became a qarin, because the ‘Umrah she had intended from Dhu al-Hulayfah was incorporated into her Hajj. After completing Hajj, she asked the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ to perform a separate, independent ‘Umrah like the other wives, because her ‘Umrah had been included within her Hajj. So the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ instructed her to go with her brother to al-Tan’im—the nearest point outside the Haram—to enter ihram for ‘Umrah from there.

Explanation of The book “Clarification and explanation of many issues related to Hajj, Umrah, and visitation in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah“ by Shaykh Abdul-Aziz bin Abdullah bin Baz rahimahullah
All praise is due to Allah, Lord of all that exists. May Allah send blessings and peace upon our prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions. (اللهم اغفر لنا ولشيخنا ولجميع المسلمين) O Allah, forgive us, our Shaykh, and all of the Muslims. His Eminence the scholar Imam ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, says in his book: Clarification and explanation of many issues related to Hajj, Umrah, and visitation in light of the Qur’an and the Sunnah. He, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
Text from Ibn Baz (rahimahullah) Book:
Important notices for the visitor of the grave of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam). It is not permissible for anyone to wipe the chamber, kiss it, or perform tawaf around it, because this was not transmitted from the righteous Salaf. Rather, it is a condemned innovation.
The Prophet’s ﷺ Tafsir of لا اله الا الله
Shaykh Abdurrazzaq al-Badr حفظه الله [Video|Ar-En Subtitles]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRtUo9PZ5Q8 [15 min]
If the understanding of the people are deviated from the correct meaning of (لا إله إلا الله), what kind of deviation do you think will happen to the religion of the people? Therefore, from the most emphasized obligations and from the most important of affairs, is that the Muslim has correct understanding of this tremendous statement (لا إله إلا الله). When an individual wants what will aid him in having correct understanding of لا إله إلا الله, I direct you to a way, which I believe has a tremendous benefit. I advise with it and I also advise it to be propagated, in specifically understanding لا إله إلا الله.
While we are speaking about the dangers of the shortcomings in understanding لا إله إلا الله and the incorrect understandings that exist in the books that the people have, I direct you to a beneficial way in understanding this statement, also this understanding will be remembered daily, by way of a narrated Sunnah from our Prophet.

The Truthful Believers Are Firm When There Are Trials
Shaykh Saleh al Fawzan حفظه الله
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSt8IEpaC6U [2 Min]
الم أَحَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَن يُتْرَكُوا أَن يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَهُمْ لَا يُفْتَنُونَ وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۖ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكَاذِبِينَ
Alif-Lam-Mim. Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: “We believe,” and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars. (Surah al-Ankabut: 1-3)
مَّا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيَذَرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَىٰ مَآ أَنتُمْ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّىٰ يَمِيزَ ٱلْخَبِيثَ مِنَ ٱلطَّيِّبِ ۗ وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُطْلِعَكُمْ عَلَى ٱلْغَيْبِ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجْتَبِى مِن رُّسُلِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ ۖ فَـَٔامِنُواْ بِٱللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَإِن تُؤْمِنُواْ وَتَتَّقُواْ فَلَكُمْ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ ﴿١٧٩﴾
Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes the wicked from the good. Nor will Allah disclose to you the secrets of the unseen.. (Surah Ale Imran: 179)
So it will not be clarified for us who are the people of Iman from the people hypocrisy and who are the people of truthfulness from the people of lies unless tests and trials takes place.Verily the truthful believers are firm when there are trials.While the hypocrites and liars get swept away.
وَمِنَ ٱلنَّاسِ مَن يَعْبُدُ ٱللَّهَ عَلَىٰ حَرْفٍ ۖ فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُۥ خَيْرٌ ٱطْمَأَنَّ بِهِۦ ۖ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ ٱنقَلَبَ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ خَسِرَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةَ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْخُسْرَانُ ٱلْمُبِينُ ﴿١١﴾
And among mankind is he who worships Allah as it were, upon the very edge; if good befalls him, he is content therewith; but if a trial befalls him, he turns back on his face. He loses both this world and the Hereafter. That is the evident loss (Surah al-Hajj: 11)

Lowering the Gaze & the Sweetness of Iman
Shaykh Abdussalam al Shuwayir حفظه الله [Video|Ar-En subtitles]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qzyStw-uOMg [4 min]
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “O youth, whoever amongst you is able to get married, then get married”. And this shows us the emphasis of performing this action and it is from the affairs that are pleasing to Allah. Indeed, it helps lower the gaze and protects the private parts.
Lowering the gaze, O noble brothers, is from the affairs that Allah commanded us with in His Book. Allah says addressing the men: “Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts.” (Al-Nur: 30) Then He addresses the women and says: “Tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts.” (Al-Nur:31)
This lowering of the gaze is from the affairs that has a place in the heart. Due to this Allah (ﷻ) coupled the lowering of the gaze with the action of the heart. Allah said: “Allah knows the fraud of the eyes, and all that the breasts conceal.” (Al-Ghafir:19) Therefore, you might be walking with your friend and you might look at something while he doesn’t know what you are looking at. And perhaps you might sneak a glance at something that is prohibited and he doesn’t know what it is you are looking at.
The happy one is the one who steers clear from the Fitan
Shaykh Abdurrazzaq al Badr حفظه الله [Video|Ar-En subtitles]
https://youtu.be/eeUkm3DnY-w [ 4 min]
It has been authenticated from our noble Prophet ﷺ in the Sunan and in the Musnad from the Hadith of al-Miqdad ibn al-Aswad رضي الله عنه who said that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Verily the happy one is the one who steers clear from the Fitan”
Our noble Prophet ﷺ repeated it like this. Contemplate upon this firm connection and tremendous relation between happiness and steering clear from the Fitan. And that an individual steering clear, being distant from, and not delving into the Fitan is one of the doors and tremendous paths to happiness. And an individual’s portion of this happiness that is alluded to in this Hadith is in accordance of his distance from the Fitan. The more distant he is from the Fitan, the greater the portion of this happiness he will have. And the closer he is towards the Fitan, the greater the portion of misery and destruction he will have.
Contemplate over this matter in the statement of the Prophet ﷺ : “After me there will be Fitnah. The state of the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing. And the state of the one standing will be better than the one who is walking. And the state of the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running.”
Look at the one who is further away from the Fitan. His portion of happiness is greater and he is safer from destruction. Look at how the one who is closer to the Fitan… The one standing is closer to the Fitnah than the one who is sitting. The one walking towards the Fitnah is closer to the one who is standing. The one running towards the Fitnah is closer to the one who is walking towards it. So the slave’s portion of this tremendous happiness that is alluded to in this Hadith is in accordance to his distance and his steering clear from the Fitan.
Therefore, as we mentioned, the Hadith regarding steering clear from the Fitan is a Hadith regarding happiness. Delving and getting involved into Fitan is entering into misery which is the opposite of happiness because the opposite of happiness is misery.So whoever steers clear of Fitan will be happy. As it comes in the text of the Hadith. Verily the happy one is the one who steers clear from the Fitan.
The implicit understanding is that the one who delves and gets involved in the Fitan will be miserable. So happiness is in steering clear from the Fitan and misery is in getting involved in the Fitan. So everytime an individual gets involved in the Fitan, he enters into what will necessitate his own destruction.

If Satan whispers to you, burn him with these ten protections — he will never come near you again | [Video | En subtitles] – https://youtu.be/gAA4Pj9Joys?si [3:26 min]
One of the most important things a Muslim should pay attention to in this context is taking care of the protective measures against Satan — and the most important and greatest of these are ten protections.
[1] Seeking refuge in Allah from him. Seeking refuge means taking shelter with Allah and turning to Him, Exalted be He. The greatest evil from which one seeks refuge in Allah is the evil of Satan. Allah the Almighty said: ‘And if there comes to you from Satan an evil suggestion, then seek refuge in Allah. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.’
[2] Reciting the Mu’awwidhatayn. These are the two chapters of refuge: “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak” (Surah Al-Falaq) and “Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind” (Surah An-Nas). It is authentically reported from our Prophet that he said: ‘No one seeks refuge with anything better than them.’ He used to seek refuge with them every night when he went to bed. It is also authentically reported that whoever recites them along with Surah Al-Ikhlas three times in the morning and three times in the evening will be protected from all evil.

The Softening of the Heart in Ramadhan | Shaykh Abdussalam al-Shuway’ir حفظه الله [Video | En subtitles] – https://youtu.be/AqHUQX3cJAc [3:43 min]
From the tremendous characteristics acquired during this month is what is related to the softening of the heart. Indeed, this month is a means for the softening of the heart. And the softness of the heart is from the characteristics of the believer. And from the effects of the softness of the heart is that it brings about tears.
Indeed, if the heart softens, the eyes flow with tears.
And it comes down out of the fear of Allah ﷻ. Due to this, our Lord said in Al-Ma’idah:83:
When they listen to what has been sent down to the Messenger you see their eyes overflowing with tears…
If an individual reads the Speech of Allah abundantly, and contemplates over its meanings. Indeed, his heart will soften, and his eyes will relent. The greatest month wherein the Qur’an is read is the month of Ramadhan.

The Wisdom Behind the Istinshaq – Shaykh Sulayman al Ruhayli حفظه الله [Video | En subtitles] – https://youtu.be/dIWyc5MRMWg [2:13 min]
Verily, many people nowadays are neglectful regarding the sniffing the water up the nose during Wudhu (Istinshaq) to begin with.
They might not be neglectful in rinsing the mouth (Madhmadha). And what is correct is that it is not a condition that one needs to thoroughly rinse the mouth. However when it comes to the Istinshaq, you find some people taking water and putting it at the end of the nose as if he is washing the nose on the outside. He doesn’t sniff the water. And this is not considered Istinshaq.
Exaggerating (Mubalaghah) is more than Madhmadha and Istinshaq. Mubalaghah in Madhmadha is when the individual enters the water in his mouth and thoroughly rinses it in his mouth. Mubalaghah in Istinshaq is when the individual sniffs the water until it reaches the upper end of his nose. He exaggerates in sniffing the water.
I’ve heard a doctor say that if the Muslims were to act upon the Sunnah in exaggerating in their Istinshaq, they would be safe from many illnesses. He says that many illnesses enter the body by way of the nose. So if they were to exaggerate in their Istinshaq, that area would be washed and the matters that cause illnesses would be removed.
And nothing has come from the Prophet except every type of good. Mubalaghah in Madhmadha and Istinshaq is a benefit.
However, it is disliked for the one who is fasting because water enters the stomach. Therefore, the Prophet said: And exaggerate in Istinshaq except if you are fasting.
When the Hearts Are Not Filled With the Love of Allah – Shaykh Saleh Ale ash Shaykh حفظه الله [Video|En subtitles] – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTEyqTpu3ho [1:32 min]
Shortcomings in worship, the absence of humility and submission, committing evil actions, falling into the impermissible, and falling short in the obligations only occur when the love of Allah is not filled in the hearts.
And when He is not exalted with the utmost exaltation and He is not feared.
The more the individual contemplates and looks, the more he will know the signs that show that Allah alone is the Lord and He is the One administering, meaning, that which is included in Tawhid al-Rububiyyah- and that everything is in His Hands.
The more these hearts are filled and are submissive and humbled, even if all of mankind plotted, they wouldn’t pay any attention to it.
The absence of giving importance to the understanding of Tawhid al-Rububiyyah leads to weakness in the hearts towards the people and weakness in the hearts in holding fast to the religion.
And one’s submission will be weak because he doesn’t exalt Allah and he doesn’t see the marvelous creation of Allah in everything.
And the individual said well when he said: And in everything has a sign that shows that He is One.

All the praises and thanks be to Allah, Who has not begotten a son, and Who has no partner in His Dominion, nor He is low to have a helper, protector or supporter. And magnify Him with all magnificence. May Allah send His peace and blessings upon the one whom His Lord sent as a guider, a bearer of glad tidings and a warner.

So whomever Allah blesses to reach these ten days, then let him praise Allah abundantly and to ask Him to grant him success in these days by doing that which He loves. And that He favors him by accepting it.
[Emotional] The Beautiful Advice of Umar ibn al Khattab to a Sinner
Shaykh Abdurrazzaq al Badr
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzPs_1jaLIM [8 min]
There is an amazing story that Ibn Kathir mentions in the beginning of the Tafsir of Surah al-Ghafir. Perhaps you can refer back to it in his Tafsir. It is an amazing story in relation to the Leader of the Believers, Umar ibn al-Khattab. Ibn Kathir said: Ibn Abi Hatim narrates from Yazid al-Asam. There was a man from the people al-Sham who was strong, and he would visit Umar from time to time during his caliphate. After not seeing him for a long time, Umar inquired about him: “What happened to so-and-so? He hasn’t visited us in a long time.” They said: “O Leader of the Believers, he started drinking intoxicants and has become preoccupied with these type of affairs…”
