Al Madrasatu Al Umariyyah
This classical Arabic poem isn’t just eloquent — it’s dangerous. Laamiyah al-Arab is the voice of Shanfara, a man betrayed by blood, raised by the one who killed his father, and driven to the wild. He swore vengeance. He lived with wolves. He wrote verses that shook Arabic literature. Something to wonder: Why are scholars of our religion teaching his words? Because this poem is a map of the Arabic language. Every line, explained here by Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan, reveals meanings buried deep in the Qur’an and classical texts. This is not entertainment. It’s training. For the one...

Be honest: Are you chasing the image of a student of knowledge more than actually becoming one? You post a book cover, tag a scholar’s quote, and share clips from your latest class. But do you really know what it means to seek knowledge? In this two-hour lecture, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan reminds us that seeking Islamic knowledge isn’t a trend—it’s a trust. A responsibility. A path that can either raise you or destroy you. Allah didn’t just create us to worship Him, but to know Him. And true worship begins with knowledge. Not surface-level information, but deep, sincere understanding...

You’re doing everything right — attending duroos, watching Islamic videos, filling pages with notes. But deep down… you’re not changing. The more you learn, the more disconnected you feel. You thought seeking knowledge would soften your heart. But it’s only making your head heavier. You’re probably moving fast, but not forward. Why? Because somewhere along the way, we skipped what the Salaf never did. Study the explanation of Kitab al-ʿIlm by Imam Abu Khaythamah Zuhayr ibn Harb (d. 234 AH) — the teacher of five out of the six major hadith collectors. This book gathers over 160...

You’ve been told Allah hears and sees — but then you’re told “Don’t take it literally.” You hear about His Names and Attributes — and it’s all explained away as metaphor. How did something so clear become so confusing? Because the ʿAqeedah of the Salaf was replaced — by opinions, philosophy, and reinterpreted religion. This poem, Al-Ha’iyyah by Ibn Abi Dawud, brings it all back. Thirty-three lines that defended the truth when people tried to distort it — especially about Allah, His Names and Attributes, and the very foundations of belief. In this session, Ustadh...

Real seekers of knowledge don’t just scroll through videos — they travel. This July, AMAU invites you to an 18-day Dawrah ʿIlmiyyah in Denmark and Finland — a structured, in-person journey into the legacy of one of the most influential scholars of our time: Shaykh Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir as-Saʿdi. Study two of his most impactful works under the guidance of trusted teachers: - Manhaj as-Salikeen with Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan - Tafsir al-Saʿdi (Juz ʿAmma) with Ustadh Muhammad Tim Humble These are not texts to be skimmed. They are to be lived — shaping how we worship, reflect,...

Some say women must never leave the house. Others treat it like there are no guidelines at all. But what did the Prophet ﷺ actually say? In this episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains the second hadith from the book الأربعون النسائية (The Forty Hadiths for Women) — a concise and powerful narration from ʿAishah رضي الله عنها: “Permission has been granted for you to go out for your needs.” (Agreed upon – al-Bukhari and Muslim) What’s the context of this statement? A moment involving Sawdah رضي الله عنها and ʿUmar رضي الله عنه...

We see righteous Muslims praying, fasting, and following the Sunnah — yet when disasters strike, they’re not spared. Floods sweep away families. Earthquakes crush entire neighbourhoods. Oppression increases. And even those who stayed obedient to Allah suffer alongside others. Why does Allah’s punishment descend on a whole community — even when there are righteous people among them? In this episode of Ad-Daa wa Ad-Dawaa, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan explains Imam Ibn al-Qayyim’s deep insight into collective punishment. Backed by Quran, Sunnah, and the words of the Salaf, the lesson...

Behind closed doors, he stirred conflict, mocked the believers, and fed secrets to their enemies. ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy wasn’t just any man — he was the head of the hypocrites in Madinah. In this gripping episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan traces his story: from his bitter heart at being sidelined, to his fake conversion after Badr, to the moments he disrespected the Prophet ﷺ to his face — and the chaos he sparked among the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم.

In public, he claimed Islam. Behind closed doors, he stirred conflict, mocked the believers, and fed secrets to their enemies. ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy wasn’t just any man — he was the head of the hypocrites in Madinah.
In this gripping episode, Ustadh Abdulrahman Hassan traces his story: from his bitter heart at being sidelined, to his fake conversion after Badr, to the moments he disrespected the Prophet ﷺ to his face — and the chaos he sparked among the Sahabah رضي الله عنهم.
You’ll learn:
- Why the Prophet ﷺ gave his own cloak for his burial
- How his plots nearly divided the believers
- What the Quraysh told him in a secret letter — and how he responded
- How Allah exposed him in the Qur’an
- The events that led to unrest in Madinah and heightened tensions with Quraysh
A man driven by envy. A city at a crossroads.
Watch now to witness one of the most dangerous figures in the early Seerah — and the Prophet’s ﷺ response to him.
