The Purpose of Mankind and Jin

وَمَا خَلَقۡتُ ٱلۡجِنَّ وَٱلۡإِنسَ إِلَّا لِيَعۡبُدُونِ

And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone).

مَآ أُرِيدُ مِنۡهُم مِّن رِّزۡقٍ وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَن يُطۡعِمُونِ

I seek not any provision from them (i.e. provision for themselves or for My creatures) nor do I ask that they should feed Me (i.e. feed themselves or My creatures).

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ ٱلرَّزَّاقُ ذُو ٱلۡقُوَّةِ ٱلۡمَتِينُ

Verily, Allah is the All-Provider, Owner of Power, the Most Strong.

Time To Make New Friends

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ Al-‘Uthaymīn raḥimahullāh said:

«وكم من إنسان هَمَّ أن يستقيم ولكنه بقي مع الرفقة غير المستقيمة فعجز، فإذا ابتعد عنهم، كان ذلك من أسباب الهداية»

“Many intend to become upright, yet remain with corrupt company and are unable to do so. Once they distance themselves, it becomes a means of their guidance.”

[Fatāwa Nūr ‘Alā Ad-Darb, vol. 12, pg. 18]

“Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah Regularly”: A Prophetic Encouragement

Al-Ṭabarānī reports in his Al-Muʿjam Al-Awsaṭ the narration of Jābir (رضي الله عنه), the Prophet ﷺ said:

“أَديموا الحج والعمرة فإنهما ينفيان الفقر والذنوب كما ينفي الكير خبث الحديد”

“Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah regularly, for they remove poverty and sins just as the bellows removes the impurities of iron.”

Authenticated by Al-Albānī in Al-Silsilah Al-Ṣaḥīḥah (1085) and Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Jāmiʿ (253)

This ḥadīth encourages believers to perform Hajj and ‘Umrah regularly according to their ability. The verb “أديموا” indicates continuity and consistency, not necessarily yearly repetition, but maintaining a connection to these acts.

The Prophet ﷺ mentions two major benefits:

1. Removal of poverty:

Scholars explain that Allah places barakah in one’s wealth, grants new avenues of provision, and protects the servant from the constriction of poverty. The spending done for Hajj is replaced by Allah with better.

2. Removal of sins:

Hajj and ‘Umrah cleanse the heart and soul, just as intense heat purifies iron by removing impurities. Their combined rites involve physical effort, du‘ā’, tawāf, humility, and sacrifice, all of which purify the believer.

The simile of the bellows highlights the transformative power of these acts: they burn away sins and spiritual rust, elevating the believer.

Let this ḥadīth be your motivation and take the next step toward these virtues by joining our ‘Umrah journey.

The Reward of Walking to Jummah

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Whoever washes on the day of Jummah and takes a bath, then leaves early and walks (does not ride), sits close to the Imaam, listens attentively, and does not talk or play, will have a reward for every step he took from his house to the masjid equivalent to fasting and praying for an entire year.”

How is it that Donald Trump can call Somalis “garbage,” yet no one from the Salafi community responds?

Perhaps it is because Trump is widely recognised as a reckless, thoughtless, and foolish novice occupying the presidency—a person who, by his very nature, does not merit a response.

As a poet wisely said:

إِذا نَطَقَ السَفيهُ فَلا تَجِبهُ * فَخَيرٌ مِن إِجابَتِهِ السُكوتُ

"When the fool speaks, do not answer him; for silence is better than responding to him."

فَإِن كَلَّمتَهُ فَرَّجتَ عَنهُ * وَإِن خَلَّيتَهُ كَمَداً يَموتُ

"If you address him, you relieve his agitation; but if you leave him be, he will perish in his spite."


Another poet reflects similarly:

أوكلما طن الذباب زجرتُه * إن الذباب إذا علي كريم

"If every time a fly buzzes I chase it away, the fly gains a place of status with me."


Even before such wisdom, Allāh ﷻ instructs:

{وَأَعۡرِضۡ عَنِ ٱلۡجَـٰهِلِینَ}

"Turn away from the foolish." [Surah Al-Aʿrāf: 199]

It should also be noted that the real problem with Trump’s statement is not that many Somalis receive benefits—large families often qualify—nor that a minority may commit fraud through false disability claims or other forms of abuse. Such issues, regrettably, are present in many societies. The true problem lies in his indiscriminate generalisation, which transforms the behaviour of a few into a blanket accusation against an entire nation.


Advice for Somalis and Muslims in general

We must understand that the kuffār do not wish for us to live as Muslims, nor to practice or preach Islam freely in their lands. As Allāh ﷻ says:

{وَلَن تَرۡضَىٰ عَنكَ ٱلۡیَهُودُ وَلَا ٱلنَّصَـٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَتَّبِعَ مِلَّتَهُمۡ}

"Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith." [Surah Al-Baqarah: 120]

Your very adherence to Islam is already difficult for them to tolerate. To claim benefits from them while living by your faith is even more unbearable in their eyes.

As Allāh ﷻ reminds us:

{قَدۡ بَدَتِ ٱلۡبَغْضَاۤءُ مِنۡ أَفۡوَ ٰ⁠هِمۡ وَمَا تُخۡفِی صُدُورُهُمۡ أَكۡبَرُ}

"Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, and what their breasts conceal is greater." [Surah Āli-ʿImrān: 118]

If Trump seeks to “Make America Great Again” by expelling Muslims to lands they have historically interfered with or harmed, then it is only logical for Muslims who struggle to practice their faith there to consider returning home. By doing so, they can bring their knowledge, skills, and experiences to contribute positively and help make their own countries great again.

Allāh ﷻ says:

{إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ تَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَـٰۤىِٕكَةُ ظَالِمِیۤ أَنفُسِهِمۡ قَالُوا۟ فِیمَ كُنتُمۡۖ قَالُوا۟ كُنَّا مُسۡتَضۡعَفِینَ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِۚ قَالُوۤا۟ أَلَمۡ تَكُنۡ أَرۡضُ ٱللَّهِ وَ ٰ⁠سِعَةࣰ فَتُهَاجِرُوا۟ فِیهَاۚ فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ مَأۡوَىٰهُمۡ جَهَنَّمُۖ وَسَاۤءَتۡ مَصِیرًا (97)}

"Verily, as for those whom the angels take (in death) while they are wronging themselves (as they stayed among the disbelievers even though emigration was obligatory for them), they (angels) say: 'In what condition were you?' They reply: 'We were weak and oppressed on the earth.' They (angels) say: 'Was not the earth of Allāh spacious enough for you to emigrate therein?' Such men will find their abode in Hell—what an evil destination!"

{إِلَّا ٱلۡمُسۡتَضۡعَفِینَ مِنَ ٱلرِّجَالِ وَٱلنِّسَاۤءِ وَٱلۡوِلۡدَ ٰ⁠نِ لَا یَسۡتَطِیعُونَ حِیلَةࣰ وَلَا یَهۡتَدُونَ سَبِیلࣰا (98)}

"Except the weak among men, women, and children who cannot devise a plan, nor are they able to direct their way."

{فَأُو۟لَـٰۤىِٕكَ عَسَى ٱللهُ أَن یَعۡفُوَ عَنۡهُمۡۚ وَكَانَ ٱللهُ عَفُوًّا غَفُورࣰا (99)}

"These are they whom Allāh is likely to forgive, and Allāh is Ever Oft-Pardoning, Most Forgiving."

{وَمَن یُهَاجِرۡ فِی سَبِیلِ ٱللهِ یَجِدۡ فِی ٱلۡأَرۡضِ مُرَ ٰ⁠غَمࣰا كَثِیرࣰا وَسَعَةࣰۚ وَمَن یَخۡرُجۡ مِنۢ بَیۡتِهِۦ مُهَاجِرًا إِلَى ٱللهِ وَرَسُولِهِۦ ثُمَّ یُدۡرِكۡهُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَقَدۡ وَقَعَ أَجۡرُهُۥ عَلَى ٱللهِ وَكَانَ ٱللهِ غَفُورࣰا رَّحِیمࣰا (100)}

Shortly after I shared the above post (https://news.1rj.ru/str/madrasatuna/5500), a respected brother kindly brought to my attention the following response from one of the Salafi Sheikhs of Somalia:

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
To proceed:

It is no surprise that, in these days, the President of the United States issues harmful accusations and false charges directed at the Somali community. No one can alter the truth or deny history. The Somali people have distinguished themselves through service to Islam, honouring it, and showing disdain for disbelief and its adherents. Perhaps one of the most notable characteristics of this community has been their deep aversion to America, a profound dislike for it.

We ask Allāh to grant victory to His Book, the Sunnah of His Prophet ﷺ, and His believing servants. All praise is due to Allāh, the Lord of the worlds.
