اللهم صل على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد،

اللهم بارك على محمد، وعلى آل محمد، كما باركت على إبراهيم، وعلى آل إبراهيم، إنك حميد مجيد

Abdullah ibn ‘Umar said: Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه وسلم) took hold of my shoulders and said:

“Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a passing traveller.” And Ibn ‘Umar used to say, “If you survive till the evening, do not expect to live till the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to live till the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and take from your life for your death.”

(Al-Bukhāri, 6416)

Laylatul-QadrWhen you are on pursuit of Laylat al-Qadar, you do Salah, Ibaadah, Qur’an, Dhikr and everything you know of but this one has a specific authentic Du’aa to it. When you are pursuing the night of Laylat al-Qadar you should say it and say it more so in the final ten nights as much as you can because it could be one of the final ten nights (more narrowed down to the odd nights).

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ  تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
Allāhumma innaka `Afuwwun, tuḥibbul-'afwa fa'fu 'annī
(O Allāh, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness; so forgive me)."

Tell me by Allah, has he not been cheated who misses out on the blessings of this night? Has he not wronged and oppressed himself, he who spends it in vain or in prohibited gatherings and settings? Abandon that comfortable sleep. Do not recline to laziness, especially on this night. Fix your feet firm to your Lord in humility and get those 83.33 years worth of reward. It is not something anyone with his right mind misses out on.

If I were to buy something valuable and you come to me and ask me for it, I tell you do you even know how much that cost? Immediately it is embedded in your mind that it is a very, very high price and such a high figure beyond that which is normal and comprehendible. Allah tells you do you even know what Laylat al- Qadar is? Do you even know what you are going to get out of Laylat al-Qadar?

The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months (i.e. worshipping Allah in that night is better than worshipping Him a thousand months (i.e. 83 years and 4 months) (Surat al-Qadar: 3)

-Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril حفظﷲ

As I said before, this month reveals the true reality of your nafs. If your nafs perceives this month as a burden and eagerly awaits its end to indulge in desires, then recognize that this is a sign of hypocrisy.

What if your nafs desires the same after performing the hijrah? 'It's enough, I want to return to my comfortable place.'

Therefore, understand your reality in Ramadan before making life-changing decisions

May Allah destroy the Hindus & Indian secularists, may He erase every last one of them from this earth. May He cause them immense suffering in this life and the next. [Remember to make du'a against the kuffar during Ramadan]

A New Publication

al-Bayʿah wa Ḥaqīqat as-Sirāʿ (The Bayʿah and the Reality of the Conflict) is a book written by Shaykh Abū Maysarah ash-Shāmī raḥimahullāh. Therein, he refutes the claim of al-Qāʿidah that the Islamic State had a Bayʿah towards it with al-Qāʿidahs own statements!

So we announce that this book was translated into the English language and we ask Allāh to make it beneficial for the Muslims.

Spread it and share it in shāʾ Allāh
So that you may respond to the Mubtadiʿah.

Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh said:

الراد على أهل البدع مجاهد

“The one who responds to the people of the Bidʿah is a Mujāhid.”

Comment on Shaikh Ahmad jibril's answer to the question about the overeating :

Evil scholars are addicted to seeking fame or a position of authority. If they are addicted to fame, then undoubtedly they are also addicted to binge eating because both addictions share common goals: seeking desires (dopamine) or short-term pleasure. This also demonstrates that evil scholars experience inner insecurity or emotional pain.

How do they cope with this inner suffering? They resort to behaviors such as binge eating, seeking fame, and excessively talking, which serve as forms of escapism.

Inner pain leads to escapism through excessive talking or eating.

The hatred in their hearts should not be limited to their speeches or fatwas; we must also distance ourselves from their addictive behaviors. This approach would represent a complete (kamil) dissociation from them

Here these are some sayings of early scholars about excessive eating :

Ibn al jawzi
As for excessive eating, it causes sleep and full stomach blinds the heart & weakens the body

Hasan al basri
He who wants to have fear in his heart & increase his tears , let him eat to half of his stomach

Ibn al qayim
to satisfy one’s appetite for food is permitted, not forbidden. Yet a person should not take excessive license with this and become so full that he needs to find something to aid his digestion, thereby making his stomach his main concern both before and after eating. The servant of Allah should feel hunger and satisfy his appetite, but he should turn down food when he simply craves it. The perfect balance is in the Prophet’s words, ‘One third for his food, one third for his drink, one third for his breath—the three [parts] are not all for food.

Ibn qudamah
The desire of the private parts and greed for wealth both start from the desire of the stomach and is followed by many obstacles all of which is begotten of satiety and eating one’s fill.
In a hadlth the Prophet  said: “The believer eats from one intestine [i.e. is satisfied with little] while the disbeliever eats from seven intestines [i.e. eats too much]. (Sahih muslim 2062)

Qadhyi ibn Iyadh
Excess in eating & drinking is indication of greed, weak self control and self-indulgence, as well as cause of bodily diseases, laziness of soul

Umar (ra)
Beware of excessive eating, for it causes laziness in salah, corruption of the body and diseases

When people see practicing, religious families, they tend to view a blessing that was handed on a gold platter. What many don’t see is the years of dark nights, of trials and hardship, that led to the commencement of such a blessing.

Such families often begin from a single person, who Allāh سبحانه وتعالى used as a catalyst to guide the rest — a person who suffered from alienation, mockery, pressure, force, hatred, threats, and rejection for many years, just like many brothers and sisters reading this today are facing. Then the numbers slowly grow, and the Haqq triumphs the falsehood as promised.

First you recruit a sibling, then another. Then a parent who brings the other on board. After that a cousin and an aunt or uncle. Then they all have families and children of their own and before you know it, you’re dead and buried in your grave but there’s a village of Muslims upon the correct ‘Aqeedah and Manhaj that you’re receiving the Ajr of. Perhaps one who you are a means to guide ends up even surpassing you in guidance and steadfastness! Surely, that’s a result worth all the heartbreak and rejection you faced in the journey.

What you’re facing today may be the early stages of a beautiful journey that will end with the outcome you desire. Guidance is in the hands of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى totally, but don’t lose heart. Stay steadfast on your principles and in your Da’wah to your family, it will pay off in the Ākhirah no doubt, and insha’Allāh very possibly in this life as well.

May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى grant us the ability to remain steadfast as we were commanded, to succeed in Da’wah to those we love, and be a means to guide them from the darknesses into the Light.
