AssalamuAlaikum Wa Rahmatullah,
After recieving several emails requesting the scheduled start date of lectures in Bradford, UK then we would just like to quickly state that the circles in Bradford will be starting in late December/early January after us speaking to our brother Abu Iyaad Amjad Rafiq. The circles or talks will insha'allah be conducted by Amjad Rafiq and also possible lectures by our brother Abu Khadeejah. But this depends on their time schedule, something we can surely appreciate. We will announce confirmed dates as soon as we have them available to us.
And just to add that, in Bradford we have many who attach themselves to Salafiyya but in reality many of them are upon hizbiyya with close bonds with the juhaal from Luton. They also co-operate with Markaza Ahlul Hadeeth. So we state that, we, those associated with albaseerah.com, have nothing to do with them or the likes of them until they return to that which is clear. Rather we are insha'allah upon a clear way and with the ulamaa of this time, in terms of taking knowledge and naseehah from the likes of Sheikh Rabee, Sheikh Ubayd, Sheikh Ahmad an Najmee, Sheikh Faleh al Harbi, Sheikh Muhammad Al Banna and others...
And we currently, and will continue, by the Will of Allah to seek any advice from the dua'at in the west whos Salafiyya many of the Sheikhs, including Sheikh Fawzee al Atharee testify to. And these are none other than Abu Khadeejah, Abu Iyaad, Abu Hakeem Bilal Davis, Hasan as Sumalee, Abu Talha and the likes of them from the clear du'aat in the west.
So in Bradford, in the midst of those who try to spread confusion, then we say that any activities that we organise, then this will be available as information on www.albaseerah.com. And this is one of the reasons for why we set the website up as so to ensure that the hizbis in Bradford do not try to confuse and mix up our clear dawah with their polluted call to confusion. So we thought we make this issue clear insha'allah.
Finally, we have mentioned the above not for the sake of self promotion but only to make our positions clear and known to the Salafis. And we believe that in this time of confusion and fitnah, then it is even more important to do this. And Allah Ta'ala know Best.
HELP US ESTABLISH A SALAFI DAWAH CENTRE
IN BRADFORD, UK (WWW.ALBASEERAH.COM)
Al-Hamdu-Lillaahi Rabbil-'Aalameen was-Salaatu was-Salaamu 'alaa Ashrafil-Anbiyaa?e wal-Mursaleen, wa ba'd:
By the Grace of Allah, we at albaseerah, are pleased to announce the development of the Salafi Dawah Centre in Bradford.
As is well known, Bradford holds a major Muslim populous, making it the most densely populated Muslim community in England. Though the numbers are immense, the opposition to Ahl-us-Sunnah is sadly likewise. The enmity is manifest from both the ahlul-bidah who openly wage war with the Salafis, and from those who veil themselves behind their garment of Salafiyya, yet Salafiyya is free from them. They are a people who have polluted the sweetness of the truth with misguided principles adopted from the likes of Ikhwaani-Muslimeen, and the Takfiriyoon (those who call to corruption and the shedding of innocent blood).
But despite the enemies of the Sunnah living deceptively amongst us, the victory and success is surely with those who cling firmly to the Book of Allah, and the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam), at times of trials and at times of ease, until the hour is established. And this can be none other than those who traverse the path of the Salafus-Saalih. As the Prophet, Muhammad (sallaahu ?alayhi wa sallam) said:
?There will not cease to be a group from my ummah, manifest upon the truth, not being harmed by those who forsake them, neither by those who oppose them, until the hour is established". [Muslim 3/1523, Ahmad 5/278 and others]
We aim to establish a Salafi Daw?ah Centre that will become a central foundation for the propagation of Tawheed, as indeed daw?ah initiated upon other than Tawheed is a call doomed to failure. As Allah Subhaanahu wa Ta?aala has stated in the Qur'an:
?And verily, We have sent among every ummah [community, nation] a messenger [proclaiming], ?Worship Allah [alone], and keep away from taghut [i.e., all false deities]. [An-Nahl:36]
The Dawah Centre also aims to:
Produce and publish dawah material
Establish study circles catering for both brothers and sisters
Invite the people of knowledge from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other countries for study seminars
Invite the well known du'aat in the west for conferences and lectures, the likes of Abu Khadeejah, Hassan As-Somaali, Abu Iyaad, Abu Hakeem Bilal, Abu Talha Ronald Burbank and other than them
Organise coach trips from Bradford to major conferences in Birmingham and elsewhere around the UK
And other activities, by the Will of Allah
We encourage our brothers and sisters, to be part of this noble cause, by way of your du?a and financial aid. For indeed, it is by striving that we discover the fruits of success. Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, has explained the bounties of charity in numerous ayaat of the Qur?an. Let us take heed of them:
?And whatsoever you spend of anything [in the cause of Allaah], He will replace it. He is the Best of those who grants sustenance.? [Soorah Saba? 34:39]
And in another ayah,
?The likeness of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allaah, is as the likeness of a grain (of corn); it grows seven ears, and each ear is a hundred grains. Allaah gives manifold increase to whom he pleases.? [Sooratul-Baqarah 2:261]
In a hadith the Messenger (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:
??Indeed Allah said: We have sent down wealth (and belongings) so that the prayer is established and charity is given?? (Reported by Ahmad in his [musnad] and at-Tabaraanee in [al kabeer] from Abu Waqid. Also in [Saheeh ul-Jami?], 1777.)
If wealth was given for the purposes of prayer and charity, then should we not be amongst the prosperous who respond to this call? Let us benefit, our brothers and sisters, from having the ability to open our eyes in the morning, as Allah says:
?And spend of that which we have provided you before death comes to one of you and he says: ?My Lord! If only you give me respite for a little while [and return me to the world], then I will give charity from my wealth and be amongst the righteous?.? [Al-Munafiqoon:10]
Know with certainty, that those who give their wealth in Allah?s cause, will have their charity made abundant on the day full of trials:
?And those who give that (their charity) which they give (and also do other good deeds) with their hearts full of fear (whether their alms and charities, etc., have been accepted or not), because they are sure to return to their Lord (for reckoning).? [Sooratul-Mu?minoon 23:60]

He (sallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said,
"Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all." [Related by Muslim (8/61)]
We pray to Allah that he keeps our intentions pure for his sake alone, keeps us firm and steadfast in our actions and keeps us firm upon the Sunnah and Dawah Salafiyya until the certainty (death).

as-salaam alaykum wa Rahmatullaah wa Barakatahu wa Maghfiratu,
When I first became Muslim, I was helped a lot masha Allaah by some of the brothers in Bradford.
I was wondering if these brothers are still counted from amongst the salafyoon:
Ilyas Karmani
Abbas (Abu Faatiha)
Isa Baines
Jazaak Allaah khairan
wa salaam alaykum

Walaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu akhee, With regards to your question on the 3 mentioned individuals then we reply by quoting what we mentioned in our initial post above:
"So we state that, we, those associated with albaseerah.com, have nothing to do with them or the likes of them until they return to that which is clear"
I hope this matter is understood insha'allah and it saddens us to see that, in general, when times of fitnah come upon the people, then instead of individuals making themselves clear and free from the mischief-makers, they instead take this time as an advantage for themselves to spread even more corruption and confusion. And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
Wassalam Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah
