Assalam aleykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh,
May Allah grant al-Firdaws to our brother Dawood Burbank and his wife.
May Allah grant his children patience in these times. Ameen.
I have set up a publishing house back in 1997 and Abu Talhah – although I have never met him – has been a source of inspiration for me, and an example. We published a translation into French of the commentary of the Three Principles (as well as other books), by late Shaykh Muhammad Al-Uthaymeen – rahimahuLlah and no doubt it looks very similar to the one Abu Talha did, may Allah add this to his good dees.
I request you contact me – as I heard you are his family – for something important related to our brother – rahimahuLlah, and that I would like to share with you.
Unitl then, may Allah protect you, wassalam aleykum, Yaqub
Assalaamu “alaikum Brother Saad bin Daawuud bin Ronald Burbank,
It has been a pleasure to discover and read parts of your web-site. The title is of your site is very inspiring and reflects the highest concern with the imparting of, and implanting – bi-idhnillaah – upon the athentic Sunnah. May Allaah grant you, your father, and all your family excellent health, strong imaan, and istiqaamah on Allaah’s Diin.
I am trying to learn Arabic. I hope you can devote some attention to translating material which shows the salaf’s concern with learning the Arabic language and how it plays a fundamental role in binding us to the Sunnah.
May Allah commend you on uprightness on the Dawatul Salafiyah , I love your website. I have learned alot on your website even though I’ve only known about it for a couple of days now. When I read your website i think about the wise statements of Ibn Rajab
“Acquire knowledge because doing so is good. Seeking it is worship. Reviewing it is glorifying Allah. Researching it is jihad. Teaching it to the ignorant is charity. Serving the scholars is a way of drawing near to Allah because knowledge is the path of ascension to the stations of Paradise. It is a companion in isolation and a comrade in distant lands. It speaks to you in solitude It is a guide to prosperity and a shield against adversity. It beautifies one among friends and is a weapon against enemies. With it Allah elevates people and makes them guides and bellwethers of good. The scholars are people whose words are sought and whose actions are imitated. The angels long for the scholar’s company and comfort them with their wings. Everything, the fish of the sea, the beasts of the earth, the predators of the land and sea, and the cattle pray that blessings come upon him.This is because knowledge enlivens the heart against ignorance, illuminates the eyes against darkness, and strengthens the body. It transports the servants to the mansions of the select and the righteous and to the highest ranks in the world and in the Hereafter. Contemplating it is equivalent to fasting, and reviewing it is equivalent to the Night Prayer vigil. With it, kinship is united and the lawful is distinguished from the unlawful. Knowledge is an imam which leads to righteous actions. It is craved by the people destined for Paradise and shunned by people destined for Hell.”

From Umm Sakinah al Beerooanijah to Saad Burbank,
I wish to suggest to you, if you are not aware of it, to use google docs. It would help you to use your documents wherever you are, without having to use a pendriver or fearing to lost it, insh’Allah. And If you need any help with the pdf or the arabic script, I could give you a hand. Al hamdulillah Allah blessed me with excellent tools to do that feesabilillah.
If you are still in darul tawheed, please remember us in your du’as, that Allah keep us upon Islam and istiqaamah.
May Allah protect you and your family, pardon your sins, give you from His bounties and enter you all to al Jannatul firdaws ameen.
Masha Allah.
This website is amazing. It provides only beneficial knowledge.
Please continue with this effort.
May Allah reward your parents with Al-Firdaws. Aameen.
May Allah shower his blessings upon your siblings. Aameen
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim. May A llah bless you with his mercy and and elevate you to the highest leve in Jannat al Firdaws. And may your way dear brother Saad be be as steadfast as your fathers in the salaafi dawah. BarakAllahu fikh
Asalamualikum excellent website my son may Allah reward you with good, and keep up the good work just like your father did. I pray to Allah that he keeps you firm upon this deen May Allah have mercy upon him as well as your mother. Ameen.
Jazakallah Saad ibn Dawood, i guess the quote i came across below, compliments your noble effort,of this precious web site, May Allah aid you upon that which your noble father rahimahullah was in pursuit of, to convey Allahs noble religion Ameen

“It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrî often used to say, “O youth! Seek the hereafter, for we often see people pursuing the hereafter and finding it as well as the dunyâ (worldly wellbeing), but we have never seen anyone pursue the dunyâ and gain the hereafter as well as the dunyâ.”

Brother Saad: I would like to once again, convey my condolences to you and I pray Allaah grants your two parents the company of our Rabb subHaanahuu wa ta”aalaa, and then the companionship of the shuhadaa’.
Each of us have important lessons to be learnt , signs to reflect on, and wisdoms to be benefitted from, as a result of Allaah’s ordainment that has come to pass.
I pray to Allaah to grant you and us al-i”tisaam bi-sunnah until we too, make the journey back to our Rabb. I pray for Brother TalHah, and your brothers and sisters likewise. Please convey my warmest salaams to them.
Very good website but somethings are missing like topics on Jarh Wa Tadeel? Why don’t you have links to salafitalk.com. spubs.com ect. Make yourself clear that you are a salafi.
Also have talks by Abu Khadeejah, Abu Hakeem Bilaal Davis, Dawood Adeeb, clear salafi brothers upon the sunnah . More topics on Jarh Wa Ta Dell by our GREAT scholer Sheikh Rabee Bin Hadee madkhali.
JazaakAllaahu khairan for your comment. Then I hope the following provides an answer to both of your comments inshaaAllaah. The topics we have used are complete, and we do not plan on adding any further topics. We do not do Jarh or Ta`deel of anybody ourselves; rather this is something we leave for the scholars to do whenever they see it fit to do so.
As a side-point, then the primary concern of general folk like ourselves should be on Tawheed and the correct `Aqeedah; and this should not be overtaken by being overcome with matters of al-Jarh wat-Ta`deel.
Like you mentioned, salafitalk.com, and spubs.com have vast resources which we can all benefit from, so I can only direct you toward them.
We do not have links due to the never-ending nature of the list that may result in such a section being created. These salafi websites are well known alhamdulillaah.
As for your comment “make it clear that you are a salafi” then by having links to salafitalk.com and spubs.com does not automatically qualify you as a salafi. I would hope from the authors of the works uploaded onto the site that you, or anybody could see that they are well-known Salafee shuyookh. The likes of Shaykh al-Albaanee, Shaykh `Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Naasir as-Sa`dee, Imaam al-Bukhaaree, Ibn Katheer, Imaam Muslim and other than them – to mention but a few.
As for audio, then we do not upload audio onto this blog. Rather it is article is purely information based in the form of articles. We do not wish to duplicate that which is already present, as that would not benefit.
I hope that the above has sufficed inshaaAllaah.
We ask Allaah to aid us upon His religion, and increase us in both knowledge and action.
Allaahumma Aameen,
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaah
Saad
Tremendous reply ya Sa’ad ma’sha’allah it is sad indeed that some folk do not busy themselves with that which is vital and attempt that which they are not qualified for whilst judging peoples salafiyyah based on loyalty to certain establishments only. May Allah rectify our affairs ameen and keep you and your siblings firm upon the haqq.
Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah Sister Umm Mujaahid,
It seems as if your desire to unsubscribe from the list stemmed from not having your comments posted. If this is true, then I would ask you dear sister to continue to adorn yourself with patience and mercy. If there was any time to overlook any perceived negativity, for the Burbank family, now is the time.
Let’s let them grieve without giving them something more to grieve about. (I am not saying you did that.)
aslamulaikum Saad may allah shower mercy upon your father and mother and protect your family. This site is a great source of information on the deen and a tool for people to have access and beneift from your fathers trasnslations. It would be nice if you could share some stories relating to your father and mother about there character and there virtuous deeds as a iman booster and inspiration to brothers like myself.
Aslamulaikum
hassan your brother in islam
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh
Allaahumma Aameen.
All praise is for Allaah; that He has allowed others to benefit from the efforts of my father.
As for stories relating to my father and mother, I do not see this blog as the appropriate platform for the like of this.
As is stated at the top of this page: “The aim of this blog is to make available beneficial knowledge: knowledge derived from the Book of Allaah -the Most High- and the authentic Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam- , along with the understanding of the Pious Predecessors (as-Salafus-Saalih); and to convey translations of useful articles pertaining to this blessed knowledge and its carriers, the scholars.
Although I appreciate your point maashaaAllaah, there are threads available that you can read with regard to the like of this, that mention to some extent what you have requested.
Wallaahu ta`aalaa a`lam,

Assamalu’alaikum Warahmatullaah,
MashaAllaah, your website have benefitted me alot. Very clearly presented. May Allaah have mercy on your parents and grant them Janaatul-Firdaus Ameen.
Keep up the great posts and reminders!
I was reading something on ittibaa.com and came across this:
“And from Eessa ibn Uthmaan who said: I was with faatimah bint Alee, and a man came and was praising her father to her. So she took some sand and threw it in his face” (page 66).
May Allaah forgive me if I have taken anything out of context, it was only intended as an admonishment. Subhaanaka allaahuma wa bihamduka, ash hadu alla illaaha illaa anta, wastaghfiruka ilayk
Assalaamu alaik, jazaakallaahu khair for pointing out what I missed. I was clearly mistakening, May Allaah answer my preceding supplication too. (Re: praising…post 20/11/2011).
May your parents be given Jannah al Fidous, and may you and your siblings remain firmly guide Aameen.
I did not know of your parents until they returned to their Rab, however since news has spread of your Mother and father May Allah be pleased with them both, many of us have come to know of Abu Talha Dawood Burbank and are benefiting from the work he has left, May Allah reward both your parents.
JazakAllah khayr

Dear brother, it seems you haven’t updated the blog for quite awhile since the 11th of January, 2012 (the date of the last post). We missed your beneficial posts and articles, and hope to be able to see more of them soon in the near future, insha’Allaah.

BaarakAllahu feeka for the new post “The reality of Thunder”. Very happy to see the ayat, ahadeeth & commentary. May Allah facilitate every ease in adding the khair to this very beneficial site & conveying the sunnah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم aameen.
I ask Allaah to have mercy on your father and mother indeed even though it has been many years since they have left this world there legacy still lives on. Here is Canada I hear people talking about the virtues of your father. His students are indeed forever grateful to Allaah to have had the chance to sit and learn with me. We supplicate to Allaah to enter them into paradise and allow us to meet them. Keep up the good work and remeber Allaah where you may be. Please pass my salams to your family.
Assalaamu’alaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh akhee fillaah. Like the others already mentioned, I would also like to convey my greetings to you and appreciate your efforts. This website of yours is absolutely wonderful and filled with benefits. Allāhumma baarik. May Allāh reward you immensely, aameen. Please keep working on it regularly. We have become too accustomed to the sound bite like Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah mentioned. Our attention span has reduced so much owing to social networking sites like Twitter etc. We need websites like these to be continuously updated and active. I ask Allāh to make our affairs easy, to grant is istiqaamah, to fulfill our wishes and aspirations, and I ask Allāh to have mercy on our parents, to forgive those who have passed away and to bless those who are alive, aameen. May Allāh grant Jannat al-Firdaws to Ustaadh Abu Talhah Dawood and his wife, aameen.
Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh,
Baarak Allaahu feek akh Saad. I ask Allaah to forgive the shortcomings of Ustaadh Abu Talhah Dawood and his wife, and to enter them through the Noble Entrance, by His Rahmah.
I am here to seek your permission to allow a non-profit for Dawah team of few brothers from India to translate some of the beneficial works on this site into an Indian local language for general benefit of Muslims there. To reassure, we do not do this for any profit or sale except to seek the Glorious Face of Allaah. (Salafiyyah is non-extinct in our region!)
Please do let me know if we are permitted for it. Do let me know should you need any clarifications. Baarak Allaahu feek.
may Allaah-the Most High- preserve and protect our brother Saad burbank upon Islaam and Sunnah and May He-The Most High- have mercy on our teacher Aboo Talha and Umm Talha, Aameen
Your site is wonderful, Masha Allah. Please keep it up and post more articles…

I pray to Allaah to grant you and us al-i”tisaam bi-sunnah until we too, make the journey back to our Rabb. I pray for Brother TalHah, and your brothers and sisters likewise. Please convey my warmest salaams to them.
والسلام عليكم
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem

From Saad Burbank to Sister Umm Mujaahid
Jazaakillaahu khairan for your kind comments, they are much appreciated.
At present we are very busy with settling in, having just returned from Hajj 2 days ago.
MaashaaAllaah your advice has been of benefit to ourselves.
Aameen to your supplications.
I have passed your salaam onto the rest of my siblings.
Apologies for the delay in my replies.
Hayyaakillaah,
Wassalaamu `alaikum,
Saad Burbank
Salalaikum
Very good website but somethings are missing like topics on Jarh Wa Tadeel? Why don’t you have links to salafitalk.com. spubs.com ect. Make yourself clear that you are a salafi.
Walakumsalaam
Also have talks by Abu Khadeejah, Abu Hakeem Bilaal Davis, Dawood Adeeb, clear salafi brothers upon the sunnah . More topics on Jarh Wa Ta Dell by our GREAT scholer Sheikh Rabee Bin Hadee madkhali.
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
From Saad ibn Daawood Burbank to brother Ali Shah
JazaakAllaahu khairan for your comment. Then I hope the following provides an answer to both of your comments inshaaAllaah. The topics we have used are complete, and we do not plan on adding any further topics. We do not do Jarh or Ta`deel of anybody ourselves; rather this is something we leave for the scholars to do whenever they see it fit to do so.
As a side-point, then the primary concern of general folk like ourselves should be on Tawheed and the correct `Aqeedah; and this should not be overtaken by being overcome with matters of al-Jarh wat-Ta`deel.
Like you mentioned, salafitalk.com, and spubs.com have vast resources which we can all benefit from, so I can only direct you toward them.
We do not have links due to the never-ending nature of the list that may result in such a section being created. These salafi websites are well known alhamdulillaah.
As for your comment “make it clear that you are a salafi” then by having links to salafitalk.com and spubs.com does not automatically qualify you as a salafi. I would hope from the authors of the works uploaded onto the site that you, or anybody could see that they are well-known Salafee shuyookh. The likes of Shaykh al-Albaanee, Shaykh `Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Naasir as-Sa`dee, Imaam al-Bukhaaree, Ibn Katheer, Imaam Muslim and other than them – to mention but a few.
As for audio, then we do not upload audio onto this blog. Rather it is article is purely information based in the form of articles. We do not wish to duplicate that which is already present, as that would not benefit.
I hope that the above has sufficed inshaaAllaah.
We ask Allaah to aid us upon His religion, and increase us in both knowledge and action.
Allaahumma Aameen,
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaah
Saad
Ahsanta Yaa Saad!
BaarakAllaahu feek
Tremendous reply ya Sa’ad ma’sha’allah it is sad indeed that some folk do not busy themselves with that which is vital and attempt that which they are not qualified for whilst judging peoples salafiyyah based on loyalty to certain establishments only. May Allah rectify our affairs ameen and keep you and your siblings firm upon the haqq.
Jazaakillaahu khairan for your support.
Maa’shaa’Allaah! Well put.
Brother Saad, how are you and your family doing? Inshaa’Allaah all is well? May Allaah bless and protect you all ameen.
Wa salaamu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu.
Assalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh
Alhamdulillaah we are all blessed with good health and are fine maashaaAllaah.
aameen.

Assalam alaikum wa rahmatullah Sister Umm Mujaahid,
It seems as if your desire to unsubscribe from the list stemmed from not having your comments posted. If this is true, then I would ask you dear sister to continue to adorn yourself with patience and mercy. If there was any time to overlook any perceived negativity, for the Burbank family, now is the time.
Let’s let them grieve without giving them something more to grieve about. (I am not saying you did that.)
Wa assalam alaikum
BaarakAllaahu feekum for your concern.
There was a small misunderstanding; which we have resolved between ourselves.
HayyaakAllaah!
wassalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh

Saad ibn Dawud Burbank
aslamulaikum Saad may allah shower mercy upon your father and mother and protect your family. This site is a great source of information on the deen and a tool for people to have access and beneift from your fathers trasnslations. It would be nice if you could share some stories relating to your father and mother about there character and there virtuous deeds as a iman booster and inspiration to brothers like myself.
Aslamulaikum
hassan your brother in islam
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh
Allaahumma Aameen.
All praise is for Allaah; that He has allowed others to benefit from the efforts of my father.
As for stories relating to my father and mother, I do not see this blog as the appropriate platform for the like of this.
As is stated at the top of this page: “The aim of this blog is to make available beneficial knowledge: knowledge derived from the Book of Allaah -the Most High- and the authentic Sunnah of Allaah’s Messenger -sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam- , along with the understanding of the Pious Predecessors (as-Salafus-Saalih); and to convey translations of useful articles pertaining to this blessed knowledge and its carriers, the scholars.
Although I appreciate your point maashaaAllaah, there are threads available that you can read with regard to the like of this, that mention to some extent what you have requested.
Wallaahu ta`aalaa a`lam,
Wa sallAllaahu `alaa nabiyyinaa muhammadin wa `alaa aalihi wa sahbihi wa sallaam,
Wassalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,

Assamalu’alaikum Warahmatullaah,

We ask Allaah to grant you and your family the best in this life and in the hereafter.

I was reading something on ittibaa.com and came across this:
“And from Eessa ibn Uthmaan who said: I was with faatimah bint Alee, and a man came and was praising her father to her. So she took some sand and threw it in his face” (page 66).

May Allaah forgive me if I have taken anything out of context, it was only intended as an admonishment. Subhaanaka allaahuma wa bihamduka, ash hadu alla illaaha illaa anta, wastaghfiruka ilayk
Bismillaahir-Rahmaanir-Raheem
Assalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barkaatuh
Jazaakillaahu khairan for the strong warning.
I have read through all of the comments on the About page.
May Allaah reward all of those who made beneficial supplication for my parents.
I can’t ever see du`aa as praise, and as for relevant factual information I see as just that.
I’m not sure what you intend.
Wallaahu ta`aalaa a`lam,

Assalaamu alaik, jazaakallaahu khair for pointing out what I missed. I was clearly mistakening, May Allaah answer my preceding supplication too. (Re: praising…post 20/11/2011).

Asalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,
May your parents be given Jannah al Fidous, and may you and your siblings remain firmly guide Aameen.
I did not know of your parents until they returned to their Rab, however since news has spread of your Mother and father May Allah be pleased with them both, many of us have come to know of Abu Talha Dawood Burbank and are benefiting from the work he has left, May Allah reward both your parents.
JazakAllah khayr

Ps. Sorry for the much delayed reply to your comment, the reason is because I have been abroad for some months, and preoccupied upon my return, wallaahul musta`aan. May Allaah reward you for your patience.
As-salaamu`alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu,
Dear brother, it seems you haven’t updated the blog for quite awhile since the 11th of January, 2012 (the date of the last post). We missed your beneficial posts and articles, and hope to be able to see more of them soon in the near future, insha’Allaah.
BaarakAllaahu feek, wa jazaakumullaahu fee kulli khayr.
Was-salaamu`alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu.
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
I would like to apologise for the much delayed reply to your comment, the reason is because I have been abroad for some months, and preoccupied upon my return, wallaahul musta`aan.
May Allaah reward you for your patience and bearing with me.
Reading your message upon my return was very much refreshing walhamdulillaah.
BaarakAllaahu feekum for your most supportive words. InshaaAllaah I hope to remain active as much as I am able.
May Allaah give you a long, righteous life and keep us steadfast until we meet Him.
AhsanAllaahu ilayki,
Wassalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
Saad ibn Dawud Burbank
BaarakAllahu feeka for the new post “The reality of Thunder”. Very happy to see the ayat, ahadeeth & commentary. May Allah facilitate every ease in adding the khair to this very beneficial site & conveying the sunnah of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم aameen.
Baarakallaahu Feekum wa Jazaakallaahu Khayra.
I ask Allaah to have mercy on your father and mother indeed even though it has been many years since they have left this world there legacy still lives on. Here is Canada I hear people talking about the virtues of your father. His students are indeed forever grateful to Allaah to have had the chance to sit and learn with me. We supplicate to Allaah to enter them into paradise and allow us to meet them. Keep up the good work and remeber Allaah where you may be. Please pass my salams to your family.
Assalaamu’alaikum warahmatullaahi wabarakaatuh akhee fillaah. Like the others already mentioned, I would also like to convey my greetings to you and appreciate your efforts. This website of yours is absolutely wonderful and filled with benefits. Allāhumma baarik. May Allāh reward you immensely, aameen. Please keep working on it regularly. We have become too accustomed to the sound bite like Ustaadh Abu Khadeejah mentioned. Our attention span has reduced so much owing to social networking sites like Twitter etc. We need websites like these to be continuously updated and active. I ask Allāh to make our affairs easy, to grant is istiqaamah, to fulfill our wishes and aspirations, and I ask Allāh to have mercy on our parents, to forgive those who have passed away and to bless those who are alive, aameen. May Allāh grant Jannat al-Firdaws to Ustaadh Abu Talhah Dawood and his wife, aameen.
Assalaamu ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh,
Baarak Allaahu feek akh Saad. I ask Allaah to forgive the shortcomings of Ustaadh Abu Talhah Dawood and his wife, and to enter them through the Noble Entrance, by His Rahmah.
I am here to seek your permission to allow a non-profit for Dawah team of few brothers from India to translate some of the beneficial works on this site into an Indian local language for general benefit of Muslims there. To reassure, we do not do this for any profit or sale except to seek the Glorious Face of Allaah. (Salafiyyah is non-extinct in our region!)
Please do let me know if we are permitted for it. Do let me know should you need any clarifications. Baarak Allaahu feek.
Wa `alaikumus Salaam wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh,
Wa feekum BaarakAllaah. Aameen.
May Allaah reward you. Please feel free to translate anything you wish inshaaAllaah.
HayyaakAllaah
Wassalaamu `alaikum wa rahmatullaah
