Salaah Brooks reads the words of the great scholar, Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan (may Allaah preserve him), in explanation of the eighth hadeeth from al-Haafith an-Nawawee's famous 40 Hadeeth collection. Moosaa Richardson supervises and explains.

This first session (of two) covers the strategy of the military forces of a Muslim country and investigates the stance of Western democracy on the nations of the worlds and their rights to exist and defend themselves. The first 30 minutes cover the topic of Jihad, an issue many Muslims are unaware of how it should be approached. Are groups like ISIS, Qaeda, Elshabab, etc. fulfilling this Prophetic hadeeth or opposing its very foundation?
