Near the end when the guy starts saying the talbiyah loudly Shaikh al-Albaani jokingly asks about the car window being open a few times and then the person who was saying the talbiyyah loudly catches on and asks, ‘And if it wasn’t [open]?’ And Shaikh al-Albaani jokingly replies that the car would’ve exploded [because of how loud he was saying it.]
Shaikh Abu Islaam Saalih Taa Haa said, “Shaikh al-Albaani, may Allaah have mercy on him, disclosed to me in private, ‘The callers to the manhaj are many, and those who remain firm on it are few–and you will come to know that after my death,’ … and how many people there are who used to claim to love the Shaikh and that they were following the manhaj [but then] abandoned it … and have accused the Shaikh of things which he is free of! Wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa billaah.”
Al-Aqeedah Awwalan Law Kanu Ya’lamun, pp. 20-21.
“I’m proud that Allaah the Mighty and Majestic made it easy for me to be acquainted with the Salaf as-Saalih … their knowledge … their fiqh … their manners … and that I strive to follow in their steps … I take pride in that.”
Al-Albaani.

Does anyone have time to be able to dedicate enough of it to making audio videos of the posts from the blog for sites like YouTube? One or two brothers had very kindly been doing it but have become busy and another is trying to help, may Allaah reward him with good, but I think there’s too much for one person to do.
Here are some of the videos that have already been done: YouTube videos.
I’d be grateful if there was a person or people who could come together on this and start making the videos. You’d have to have a basic level of Arabic so you can understand which sentences to sync with what the Shaikh is saying.
Please reply to my email:

Shaikh al-Albaani said about Shaikh Rabee’s book in which he explains the mistakes of Sayyid Qutb, “Everything that you have refuted Sayyid Qutb with is true and correct, and from that it will become clear to every Muslim reader who has some Islamic heritage that Sayyid Qutb was not acquainted with the fundamentals and subsidiary issues of Islaam. So may Allaah reward you with the best of rewards, O brother Rabee, for fulfilling the obligation of clarifying and uncovering his ignorance and his deviation from Islaam.”
This book of Shaikh Rabee’s can be downloaded here.
On the other blog, I mentioned a resource useful for people who need to access Hans-Wehr and Lane’s Lexicon to search for words. I’m mentioning it here again for people who may not be subscribed to the other blog, and if you’re not, why not do so now?
This is a truly remarkable resource for those who regularly need to use Arabic-English dictionaries. On this page you can search both Hans-Wehr’s dictionary and Lane’s Lexicon at the same time. What is most useful is the fact that you can type in the base root of the word you’re looking for in Arabic and it will show you the word in Hans-Wehr first and if you scroll down it will then show you where the same word occurs in Lane’s Lexicon. Here’s the link to the post which has the link to the site:
And for those of you who would like to use this facility offline, it can also be downloaded for that purpose, here’s the post mentioning that along with the download link:

The Arabic Shaikh al-Albaani website has produced a free DVD of the Shaikh’s Al-Hudaa wan-Noor series of tapes. The DVD includes 901 tapes. The size of the file is about 4.18GB, once you’ve downloaded it you have to burn it to a DVD for it to work.
You can actually search through the tapes by typing a particular word you may be after, which is quite handy. As an example, if you searched for, ‘النووي’ it would give you all the recordings which have the word ‘An-Nawawi’ listed in the cassette titles.
You can find the download link here.

Questioner: I have found, and I ask Allaah to forgive me and I hope that my feeling is misplaced, but I’ve started to notice that some of the students of knowledge, young people, who generally, alhamdulillaah, are good, but you will see that he has studied for four or five years, just having started [studying] the science of hadith and you find that he tries to build himself up by opposing so and so, for example, he will disagree with Al-Albaani [in hadith], or in fiqh he will even oppose Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baaz or Uthaimeen, so this is a phenomenon which I fear, O Shaikh.
Al-Albaani: We are men and they are men!
Questioner: In fact they did say that! But someone replied to them, O Shaikh, and said, ‘They [i.e., the scholars] are men, and you are a Dajjaal [imposter].’ Because one time the issue [being discussed] was about a Companion, the discussion reached the Companions, he said, ‘They are men and we are men.’ So he [the other person] replied, ‘No, they were men and you are a Dajjaal.’
Al-Albaani: Allaahu Akbar!
Questioner: So this is something noted, now for a few days I’ve been having a discussion with a student of knowledge, may Allaah reward him with good, who is attentive in this regard, so one of the brothers said to me, ‘But he opposes Al-Albaani or differs with Al-Albaani,’ so the issue … ‘… and so and so opposes Shaikh Ibn Baaz and so and so differs with Shaikh Ibn Uthaimeen.’
Al-Albaani: The love of fame will break one’s back.
Questioner: I liked this statement of yours …
Al-Albaani: This is a blight on the students in this age except for those who Allaah has protected, and how few they are.
Questioner: Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaah.
Al-Albaani: Allaah’s aid is sought, Allaah’s aid is sought.
