Shaykh Abdal-Hakim Murad - Contentions 11
Published by Haseeb April 8th, 2007 in IslamShaykh Abdal-Hakim Murad has recently published his 11th set of Contentions. All 1,100 contentions can be found at masud.co.uk.
Here are a few that I particularly like:
‘Never despise any Muslim, for the least of the Muslims is great in the eyes of God.’ (Abu Bakr al-Siddiq r.a.).
The fitra tells us that nature is a medicine. The Sunna allows us to take it.
Use words in your preaching only if absolutely necessary.
Do not think that anything has any purpose other than to point to God.
Religious leadership is an opportunity to be frightened of God.
Wisdom consists mainly in the ability to recognise human weakness.
God’s mercy is not limited; but He is not limited by His mercy.
Only those who know themselves to be unworthy are worthy.
If you do not sanctify the dawn, the day will not sanctify you.
Her voice is part of her awra only when it is part of her aura.
If you suffer from listlessness, make a list.
If you are good, pretend to be bad. If you are bad, don’t pretend to be good.
He who knows himself, knows Islam.

Commentary on the earlier Contentions available here.
Assalaamualaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuhu wa maghfiratuhu wa jannatuhu!
Allahu Akbar, very interesting and worth pondering on.
But, subhaanAllah, I didn’t understand this one:
Her voice is part of her awra only when it is part of her aura.
I didn’t get the logic…or I’m just to stupid…LOL…Allahu A’lam.
Duaas requested inshaAllah,
wasalaamualaikum.
What is contentions? An assertion put forward in argument (DICTIONARY). Why do this Person make these contentions and publish them? the last part, ie. he who knows himself, knowns Islam is analogous to “he who knows himself knows his God” (or close to that effect).
It’s a simple one but I’ve been thinking a lot about the one below… so much that it gave me a headache:
If you are good, pretend to be bad. If you are bad, don’t pretend to be good.
