Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 17th November 2023 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester
Video: https://youtu.be/zeHKoO-fElI
The talk centres on the profound legacy of ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd (r.a), one of the most trusted companions of the Prophet ﷺ, exploring his extensive knowledge and its enduring influence within Islamic scholarship. ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd was depicted as a key figure whose teachings shaped significant schools of thought, particularly the Hanafi school of Fiqh, and his role in Kufa as a lead teacher established a foundation for subsequent scholars. Despite facing some criticisms from contemporary figures, the talk underscores that many misconceptions arise from ignorance about scholarship and hadith transmission.
Furthermore, the discussion elaborates on the geographical spread and historical context behind the four main Islamic schools of thought, illustrating how ʿAbdullāh ibn Masʿūd's teachings were instrumentally passed down through numerous layers of scholars, culminating in what is known today as the Hanafi school.
The talk emphasizes the importance of unity, respect for differences, and the need to acknowledge the invaluable contributions of the sahaba and their successors who have preserved the teachings of Islam through generations. The message calls for a renewed appreciation and understanding of Islamic teachings, grounding responses to criticisms in knowledge-based dialogue and respect.
Below are some of the topics mentioned in this talk:
- Criticisms Faced by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud

The Stinters - A Tafsir of Surat al-Mutaffifin Part 2

The Stinters - A Tafsir of Surat al-Mutaffifin Part 2
The Stinters - A Tafsīr of Sūrat al-Muṭaffifīn Part 2 of 5
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 27th May 2022 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester
Video: https://youtu.be/xh-0xsDcgGE
The lecture continues the Tafsīr of Sūrat al-Muṭaffifīn, highlighting its broader application beyond dishonest trade. While the verse explicitly condemns traders who cheat in weights and measures, the talk explains that the principle of fairness applies to all aspects of life, including marriage, family, friendships, and business interactions. Those who take more than they give—whether in relationships or financial dealings—are guilty of ‘Taṭfīf’ (stinting and deceit). A major cause of dishonesty is a lack of belief in the Hereafter, as many people act as if they will never be held accountable for their actions. The talk reinforces this message with the Prophet’s ﷺ warnings about dishonest traders, emphasizing that most will be resurrected as sinners unless they maintain integrity.
A key takeaway is that wealth and power should not lead to arrogance or exploitation. The Prophet ﷺ taught that the upper hand (the giver) is better than the lower hand (the taker), encouraging generosity over greed. The discussion connects these moral teachings to modern business ethics and even animal behaviour, showing that honesty and cooperation are fundamental principles, even in nature. Examples from the marketplace, family life, and the animal kingdom reinforce that deceit eventually leads to isolation and divine punishment. Ultimately, the Surah serves as a reminder that true success lies not in amassing wealth dishonestly but in upholding fairness, preparing for the Day of Judgment, and seeking Allah’s pleasure.
Below are some of the topics in this talk:
- Taṭfīf (stinting) not just restricted to trading
- Reflecting on one's own taṭfīf
- The reason behind people doing taṭfīf
- Verses mentioning accountability in the Qurʾān
- Abdullah ibn Umar's relationship to the Day of Judgement
- Explanation of verses 7-9
- The dangers of wealth
