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.

The Stinters - A Tafsir of Surat al-Mutaffifin Part 1
The Stinters - A Tafsīr of Sūrat al-Muṭaffifīn Part 1 of 5
Delivered by Shaykh Riyadh ul Haq on Friday 20th May 2022 at Al Kawthar Academy, Leicester
Video: https://youtu.be/zQ8tMSDIqbQ
This talk provides an in-depth Tafsīr of Sūrat al-Muṭaffifīn, explaining its historical context, linguistic significance, and broader ethical implications. The talk highlights that the Sūrah warns against fraudulent practices, focusing on those who manipulate measures and weights for personal gain.
The term ‘Mutaffifin’ is analysed linguistically, showing that it refers to minor but intentional deceptions that accumulate over time. The talk also contrasts the economic systems of Mecca (which used weights) and Medina (which relied on volume-based measures), illustrating how dishonest practices were common before the Prophet ﷺ reformed society. Furthermore, historical examples from the Saḥābah and early Muslims demonstrate how this Sūrah corrected dishonest business dealings, leading to a more ethical trading system.
Beyond trade, the talk emphasizes that the principle of fairness applies to all aspects of life, including prayer, relationships, and social interactions. It explains that Islām teaches balance and justice, and ‘Tatfif’ (stinting or cheating) is condemned not just in business but in personal conduct as well. Examples from Umar ibn al-Khattab (r.a.) and Salman al-Farsi (r.a.) show that neglecting communal prayers or failing to fulfil one’s responsibilities in relationships is also a form of cheating. The Prophet ﷺ stressed the importance of being a giver rather than a taker, whether in trade, social interactions, or acts of charity.
The talk concludes by highlighting Prophet Shu'ayb's (a.s.) warning to his people about fraud, emphasizing that societies engaging in dishonesty face divine consequences.
Below are some of the topics in this talk:
- The meaning of 'Taṭfīf'
- Pre-Islamic practise of taṭfīf (stinting)
- The economy of Makkah and Madinah
- A Deeper meaning to the word taṭfīf (stinting)
- The lowliness of being a taker in friendship
- The Prophet ﷺ repaying loans
- Misconceptions that taṭfīf (stinting) is harmless
- Examples of instances we need to be givers
