ISLAMIC COURSES CURRENTLY TAUGHT BY USTAADH MOOSAA RICHARDSON

1. Al-‘Aqeedah al-Waasitiyyah (Creed)

On Friday nights at the First Muslim Mosque in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA), and live online on the masjid’s radio station, Ustaadh Moosaa Richardson reads this classic primer in Islamic beliefs by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have Mercy on him), along with the explanation of Shaykh ‘Ubayd al-Jaabiree (may Allah preserve him). A recording of the live broadcast remains online for about 24 hours (for free listening, but not downloadable yet), until it is replaced by a high-quality re-mastered MP3 recording for free listening and/or downloading. Sometimes we may pre-record these lessons in order to avoid connection problems due to internet bottle-necking at peak hours.

In the Name of Allaah…

Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan (may Allaah preserve him) said:

From the aspects of the pre-Islaamic period of ignorance (jaahiliyyah) that the Messenger of Allaah (may Allaah raise his rank and grant him peace) opposed them in was their attempt to draw near to Allaah in worship by whistling and clapping.  Allaah, the Most High, has said:

( وما كان صلاتهم عند البيت إلا مكاء وتصدية )
