The Majalis (programmes) of Hadhrat Mufti Ebrahim Salejee Saheb, are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays after `Asr Salah at the Madrasah Taleemuddeen Musjid during those times of the year when Madrasah is open. In the month of Ramadaan, during which Hadrat Mufti Saheb spends the entire month in I`tikaaf, there are three Majlis's daily. One at 9.30 a.m., a second after the Asr salah and a third at night after the taraweeh salaah daily.

Although these majalis of Hadrat have been conducted for many years recordings of only the past few years are available in audio format. Due to lack of space and bandwidth we will only be able to make available a few of these on this website.

Instilling the Love for Allah and Preparing to meet Him

In the mutaqaddimeen (the pious predecessors), the greatest emphasis was on tarbiyat i.e. to get the refinement in character and ways, and secondly on having the right association. Thereafter, other things in life fall in place. It is so important that it is like a vessel and container. If it is clear and pure then its contents will be preserved.

The Focal Point in Sulook

(Highlights of Mufti Ebrahim Salejee’s majlis - Saturday 18th October)

A shaikh-e-tareeqat has to be a mujtahid. This means that he has to investigate every case individually and then work out the program for the individual. There are different approaches to reforming an individual that were adopted by the Chishtiyah and Naqshbandiyah. It is like the difference between a doctor and a hakeem. The approach of the past hakeems was that they would diagnose the illness and attempt to remove the illness. As the illness is removed the body regains its strength since it is the illness that is preventing the energy from building. The doctor looks at it differently; he provides the patient with energy and in turn the energy will push out the illness. Both are mujtahids and experts in their field and they have specialised. In tareeqat and sulook, the same applies. The Naqshbandi approach is to provide the energy. Hence, in the past they would start off with zikr as soon as the person comes to the khanqah. The Chishtiyah in the past would remove the illness first.

Remaining within the Parameters of Deen

When the traffic gets completely out of control with cars driving in all directions and in any manner and there is nobody to control it, in fact those that we expected to control it are actually encouraging it then obviously this will lead to chaos and disaster. In such a situation, the most sensible thing to do is to remain indoors, and if you have to travel then go with such a squadron and in such a manner that you can reach your destination safely. If you look at the global condition presently and more so the prevalent deeni condition then this is how it seems. The reason being that there are all types of movements that are thriving, and any person who comes up with some new thinking and ideology and supports it with some logical backing eventually gains support. Everyone takes to it and continues. As a result, people look at and view the Quraan differently and study situations differently. Hence, there will be no way to come to a proper decision. At times, we look at a personality and are overwhelmed by him and we think that how can I speak out against him because he will feel prejudiced and what will he think of me. So the thing is that people are not looking at ‘what is right’, but ‘what is my right’.

The Indispensability of Islam

(Highlights of Mufti Ebrahim Salejee’s majlis - Saturday 20th September)

1. Islam is the vehicle of Allah Ta‘ala and He will ensure that it continues till the end of time. Anybody who comes in its way will be crushed. If you board it then it is to your advantage and if you remain out of it then you will remain stranded. But your boarding onto it will not add any more beauty to Islam. It does not require any additional beauty. Rather, it lends towards your beauty. If you jump off then it is not a train smash, for Allah Ta‘ala will fill up this train of Islam with others who Allah loves and they love Allah.

2. When Abdul Muttalib went to Abraha, Abraha was amazed that he came to negotiate for his animals that were taken and not to negotiate regarding the destroying of the Ka’bah. So Abdul Muttalib replied that the Ka’bah has its own Rabb who will take care of it. There will always be those who will come in the way of Islam. We hear of all the incidents that are taking place and then fear and panic overcome us. We should remember that Islam cannot be destroyed. Most of the time, the information that we get is from the media that is controlled by the kuffaar and their whole motive is to create panic and fear and tarnish the reputation of Islam and the Muslims.

Precision in Narrating and the Importance of Taqwa

(Highlights of Mufti Ebrahim Salejee’s majlis - Saturday 13th September)

1. Allah Ta‘ala instructs Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to narrate the narrative of the sons of Aadam (‘alaihis salaam) in precision. The reason for emphasising the aspect of precision is that many people are not cautious in narrating incidents. Sometimes important aspects are left out and sometimes the whole narrative is distorted and changed. That is why the Quraan must be written in the original Arabic script. If the translation has to be written, then it has to also be written with the Arabic script. The fuqahaa do not allow an independent translation without the Arabic text. Further, you cannot write a transliteration. The reason is obvious. If an independent translation or a transliteration has to be written then after every century it will change and eventually it will be distorted, but if it is with the Arabic then it can always be checked. This is what happened in Christianity where distortions began right from the 2^nd century.
