Ilmstitute

Muhammad James Sutton

I am just a very small student of knowledge from Jacksonville, Florida who wishes to share with the world the little bit of knowledge I was blessed by Allah to obtain. I have spent the last two decades between Yemen (2000-2015) and Saudi Arabia (2016-2021) picking up beneficial gems everywhere I went. I hope that those gems can be a benefit to the people that listen to my lessons. May Allah increase us all in beneficial knowledge and righteous actions.

We have so many people making a mockery of this great religion that Allah has blessed us with. They want to go on social media and talk about Islam like it is a sporting event.

Advice to the Dawah Clowns in a Poem from Al-Jaahilyyah 30.09.2025

This is a poem that is titled the لامية سموأل and it was written during the period of Jaahiliyyah, which was the period before the revelation was revealed to the Final Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم This poem truly sums up the foolishness that we see today. These clowns have gone so far astray that a poem from Jaahiliyyah is now advice for them. Telegram: ⁠⁠⁠https://t.me/muhammadjamessutton...

Don't Take Marriage Advice from Pimps and Clowns 30.09.2025

The video speaks for itself. One note, however, the word that I used in Arabic is not a foul word. It came in a Hadith in which the Prophet cursed men that take on qualities of women in their dress and mannerisms. The Arabs nowadays use the word when they want to insult somebody, so that is why it has a bad connotation. I am using the word in accordance with the Hadith, not in accordance with the...

The Real Characteristics of a Student of Knowledge 30.09.2025

In this video, I go over the tell-tale signs that you can use to recognize a real student of knowledge. When I finished this talk, some more ideas came to my mind that I failed to mention here.
