I left Doha on the early morning of the 8th of April and arrived, via Amsterdam, to Toronto at 4 pm in the afternoon of the same day. Today, I did the Khutbah of Jumu’ah at Salaahuddeen Mosque, al hamdulillaah to a packed house. The topic was on Dajjaal and our preparation for his coming. I’ll be doing a talk on Planning for the Hereafter tomorrow night between Maghrib and Ishaa, and on “The True Path to Happiness” on Sunday, same time – bi ithnillaah. Hope to see those from Toronto there – in shaa Allaah.

As salaamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuhu
Alhumdulillah, I had the opportunity to attend some of your halaqas at Salaheddin, Abu Huraira and Baitul Aman. Unfortunately, I was unable to have a discussion with you afterward due to the large number of people greeting you. I wanted to volunteer for IOU. If you could contact me back at my e-mail to exchange phone numbers while you’re still in Toronto, I would greatly appreciate it. Barakallaah feek.
I’ve already emailed you brother. Awaiting your reply. was salaam.
As Salaamu Alaikum,
Dear Dr Phillips,
All good things come from Allah
I wanted to take the time to sincerely say thank you for all your effort and above all your writings on Tauheed. I am a revert to Islam (accepted in ‘94) and had the pleasure of reading your book many times. I live here, in the Washington DC area and if ever you are in this part of the world, please contact me. You are always welcomed.
May Allah increase the good.
As-salaamu’alaikum, will you hold any more lectures or seminars during your stay? I missed your previous ones.
JazaakAllahu Kheiran
Assalamaualiakum
When will your lecture on Dajjal be uploaded on Youtube,
As soon as I get a copy
Shiekh, i came upon the information of the drying up of sea of galilee also known as lake tabariyyah.
I read the hadeeth which mentions the lake of tabariyyah and its drying up , being one of the signs of the emergance of dajjal”
=====================================
….Woe to you, what are you? It said: I am al-Jassaasah. We said: What is al-Jassaasah? It said: Go to this man in the monastery for he is keen to know about you. So we came rushing to you and we fled from it because we could not be sure that it was not a devil.’ He (that chained person) said: ‘Tell me about the date-palm trees of Baysaan.’ We said: ‘What do you want to know about them?’ He said: ‘I am asking you whether these trees bear fruit.’ We said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘Soon they will not bear fruit.’ He said: ‘Tell me about the lake of Tabariyyah’ We said: ‘What do you want to know about it?’ He said: ‘Is there water in it?’ They said: ‘There is a great deal of water in it.’ He said: ‘Soon it will dry up.’ Then he said: ‘Tell me about the spring of Zughar (which is in the south of Syria).’ They said: ‘What do you want to know about it?’ He said: ‘Is there water in the spring and do the people grow crops with the water of the spring?’ We said to him: ‘Yes, there is plenty of water in it and the people grow crops with its water.’ He said: ‘Tell me about the Prophet if the unlettered; what has he done?’ We said: ‘He has left Makkah and has settled in Yathrib (Madeenah).’ He said: ‘Do the Arabs fight against him?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘How did he deal with them?’ We told him that he had prevailed over the Arabs in his vicinity and they had shown obedience to him. He said to us: ‘Has it really happened?’ We said: ‘Yes.’ He said: ‘If it is so that is better for them that they show obedience to him. Now I will tell you about myself. I am the Dajjaal and soon I will be given permission to emerge. …
Narrated by Muslim in his Saheeh (2942)
==================================
I saw this news video done by Sky News on youtube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvYJefTW29A
“The waters of Galiliee have retreated hundreds of yards. The water level is now so low, the water has to be pumped uphill into the River Jordan”
Now there is another hadeeth which mentions Gog and Magog, and them being the ones who would drink up the water of tabariyyah.
How do we understand the above hadeeths ?
Still waiting for a reply.
Assalamu alaikum,
I recently read the “Reply to critics” section in your website. In that section, you have not explained about the errors or bid’ahs of the group hizb ut-tahrir. I have read many of the books written by Shaykh Taqiuddin-Nabhani, the founder of the group and its other members like “Khilafah is the answer”,”The system of islam”,etc. These books are very strong in the aqeedah and I don’t see any element of bid’ah in them. As you are a more knowledgeable person, I hope you would be able to help me in this regard.
How do you refute this group?
Assalamu alaikum. Are you still in Toronto? Are you planning to speak at the Journey of Faith Conference? I’m in the US and I’m planning to come to Toronto for the Conference. I’m looking forward to listening to your lecture live.
wa alaykum salaam. I returned to Qatar three weeks ago or more. I went to Amsterdam, and to Maldives for lectures. And as you may know now, I was banned from entering the UK two days ago. I’ll be going to Tanzania – in shaa Allah – in about ten days time for lectures.
Dr Zakir was banned from Canada two days ago, so he has pulled out of the Journey of faith conference. The conference is in a critical stage and actually may not happen. Allah knows best.
wa alaykum salaam,
Rather than trying to refute this group (negative da’wah) – use your energy in working for Islam and building something (positive da’wah). Otherwise, Shaykh Taqiuddin-Nabhani and those who followed him denied aspects of general Muslim belief on the basis that only hadeeth mutawaatir could be used as proof in issues of ‘aqeedah. So, many signs of the last day are denied, punishment of the grave, and many other issues of belief that have been held by Muslims since the time of the Prophet (pbuh).
AsSalam walikum,
just in relation jassasah hadith does anybody know where spring of Zugha is located.. Sea of Galilee is 78 cm below its dead level . Baysan used to be known for its dates production doesn’t produce dates anymore..It would be interesting to know why dajjal is so interested in one region
wa alaykum salaam.
Try to avoid too much speculation. Stick with what is clear and just accept what is unclear and apply what you know and learn what you don’t know.
