The Ghurabah
Author: Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali | Pages: 23 | Size: 1 MB
This book is a translation of a short treatise entitled Kashf-ul-Kurbah
fee wasfi Haali Ahlil-Ghurbah, or Alleviating Grievances in Describing
the Condition of the Strangers, written by the great Imaam, Al- Haafidh
Zayn-ud-Deen Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbalee, rahimahullaah. In this treatise, Ibn
Rajab deals with the topic of the Strangers, or Al-Ghurabaa. He begins
by listing the many ahaadeeth reported about them, in which the
Messenger of Allaah describes their attributes and explains their
position. They are given this name because they will be strange during
the Last Days, due to their adherence to the Sunnah and to the Way of
the First Muslims, the Salaf As-Saalih. So just as those who first
accepted Islaam at the hands of Muhammad (saws) were considered
strangers with their families and close ones, then indeed, those who
adhere to the Sunnah in the last Days, when innovations and misguidance
are rampant and widespread, will also be considered strangers amidst
their families and close ones, not to mention the disbelievers.
