Lessons on Tawhid - Approximately 50 Classes - from Dar-ul-Hadith, Dammaj, Yemen
These were lessons conducted on the book '
al-Qawl-ul- Mufeed Fee Adillatit-Tawhid' [Beneficial Speech in Establishing the Evidences of Tawhid] written by one of the major scholars of the Sunnah in Yemen,
Shaikh Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab al-Wasabi (may Allah preserve him).
They were explained live via a telephone conference calling system by the Imam of the Masjid in Dar-ul-Hadith, Dammaj (Yemen), who is one of the senior scholars of the center of learning in Dammaj,
Shaikh Ahmad al-Wasabi (may Allah preserve him). These lessons were conducted every Saturday from the period of April 2005 to June 2006. The .pdf files also contain questions which were asked in relation to the topic of the lesson in question.
The reviver of the Sunnah in Yemen, Shaikh Muqbil ibn Hadi al-Wadi'ee (rahimahullah) [d.1422H], said regarding this book: "This treatise deserves to be instilled in students in centres of learning due to the much good in contains since it is small in size and large in benefit...I also advise all the scholars of the Sunnah in Yemen to increase in their efforts in spreading knowledge, writings and lectures. And by the Praise of Allah this book has benefitted much and it has been recommended as a syllabus for students in many of the centres for learning the Sunnah. And few will you find on the Sunnah except that this book is in their homes."
Then Shaikh Muqbil (rahimahullah) goes on to praise the author of the book by saying: "The Shaikh Abu Ibrahim Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab al-Wasabi al-Abdali established upon teaching, writing and calling to Allah. Allah has given him patience and full comprehension in all the branches of hadith and therefore the ability to judge the authenticity and weakness of the hadith...Our brother, Abu Ibraheem is assisted upon continuation of the journey in seeking and spreading knowledge by his Zuhd and by his concentration on knowledge and teaching until he became a reference and his fatawa and his statements became dependable, and that is by the Grace of Allah upon him. And Allah is the only one to bestow this Grace."
