However, if it is a necessity to send some students to learn abroad due to the lack of some professional institutions, especially in the field of industry, an objective committee should be formed to choose the most suitable students in terms of religion and morals and who are well-versed in Islamic culture and have an Islamic spirit. The committee can also choose a knowledgeable, righteous supervisor, who is active in practicing Dawah (calling to Islam), to accompany the mission, practices Dawah there, supervises and guides the students, and refutes any doubts they may come across.

They should be given even a short course before traveling to be aware of all the problems they might encounter abroad, and clarify the Shariah viewpoint and wisdom behind such issues according to the Qur’an, the Sunnah (whatever is reported from the Prophet), and the opinions of scholars. This includes, for instance, the rulings on slavery, polygyny in general, polygyny of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in particular, Talaq (divorce pronounced by a husband), the wisdom behind both offensive and defensive Jihad (fighting in the Cause of Allah), and such doubts that are mentioned by the enemies of Allah to Muslim youths, so that they would be fully ready to refute any such issues.

As for facing the invasion of print and broadcast media, which have afflicted the Muslim Ummah in the modern age and have come to occupy most of the time of Muslims in spite of the deadly poison and the misleading promotion they usually contain, it is one of the most important tasks to protect Islam and the Islamic culture from its evil plotting. We should make sure that the Du
ah (callers to Islam) dedicate themselves to writing useful researches, periodicals and articles; practicing Dawah, replying to different forms of cultural invasion and exposing their falsehood. The enemies have dedicated all their resources and potentials, founded many organizations and applied different means to deceive Muslims. Their misconceptions should be refuted and Islamic Aqidah, legislation, rulings and morals should be clarified and explained in a nice, attractive way using suitable modern ways; wisdom and good discourse of preaching, arguing in a gentle way via all mass media as much as possible. Islam is the perfect religion that encompasses all goodness, guarantees happiness to all people, good progress, sound development, peace, security, prosperous life and winning in this world and in the Hereafter.

The Muslims are afflicted by all this as they do not stick to their religion as they should have, with most of the people not understanding its reality, because of being not interested; ignorant of it; negligent of many scholars in clarifying its advantages, wisdoms and secrets; lack of honesty and patience in inviting others to it; and not bearing harm and using the modern ways. Thus, discrepancy took place. Most of the people have become ignorant of the Islamic rulings. They have become deluded.

It is known that the last generation of this Ummah will not succeed except with what brought success to the first generation – that is, to follow the Qur’an and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him).

Allah (Exalted be He) says:

[Say (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) to these idolaters (pagan Arabs) of your folk:] Follow what has been sent down unto you from your Lord (the Qur’ân and Prophet Muhammad’s Sunnah), and follow not any Auliyâ’ (protectors and helpers who order you to associate partners in worship with Allâh), besides Him (Allâh). Little do you remember! [Surah Al-Araf, 7: 3]

Allah (Exalted be He) also says:

“And verily, this (i.e. Allâh’s Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses 151 and 152) is My Straight Path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you away from His Path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqûn (the pious – see V.2:2).” [Surah Al-An
am, 6: 153]

And: And this is a blessed Book (the Qur’ân) which We have sent down, so follow it and fear Allâh (i.e. do not disobey His Orders), that you may receive mercy (i.e. be saved from the torment of Hell). [Surah Al-Anam, 6: 155]

Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He), Who is the Most Truthful, has promised us a great victory and successful outcome in return for this in His Statement: …and (as for) the believers, it was incumbent upon Us to help (them). [Surah Al­Rum, 30: 47]

He (Glorified be He) also says:

But if you remain patient and become Al-Muttaqûn [the pious – See V.2:2], not the least harm will their cunning do to you. Surely, Allâh surrounds all that they do. [Surah Al-
Imran, 3: 120]

And: Allâh has promised those among you who believe and do righteous good deeds, that He will certainly grant them succession to (the present rulers) in the land, as He granted it to those before them, and that He will grant them the authority to practise their religion which He has chosen for them (i.e. Islâm). And He will surely give them in exchange a safe security after their fear (provided) they (believers) worship Me and do not associate anything (in worship) with Me. But whoever disbelieves after this, they are the Fâsiqûn (rebellious, disobedient to Allâh).[Surah Al-Nur, 24: 55]

And: O you who believe! If you help (in the cause of) Allâh, He will help you, and make your foothold firm.[Surah Muhammad, 47: 7]

There are many Ayahs (Qur’anic verses) in this regard. When the Salaf (righteous predecessors) applied these noble Ayahs, whether in words, actions, or beliefs, Allah granted them victory over their enemies, made them rulers of the world, spread justice through them, and made them leaders of the Ummah and Imams of guidance. When the latter generations faltered in this (Allah’s Orders) their conditions declined, according to Allah’s Statement: Verily, Allâh will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allâh).[Surah Al-Rad, 13: 11]

May Allah make the Muslims, whether people or governments, return to their faith in a proper way; grant them comprehension of it, cause them to apply it, make them unanimous on Al-Haqq (the Truth), guide them to cooperation in righteousness and piety, and enjoining each other to Al-Haqq and persevering upon it. He is the All-Hearing, Ever Near. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family and Companions.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Those who deal mercifully with others, Allah will deal mercifully with them, therefore, show mercy to those on Earth so that the one in the Heavens may show you mercy.”

The Hadith is very simple and straightforward, if we don’t show mercy and compassion to each other, especially during times of hardship and calamity, we risk losing the most important mercy that matters to us, and that is, the mercy of Allah upon us.

This is a serious matter. Stop cursing each other and stop hating each other, Allah ﷻ made us believers and He commanded us to maintain the tie of brotherhood with each other. So adhere to His command, and avoid the path of the Shaytaan, the path of hatred and arguments.

May Allah ﷻ not hold us to account for what the ignorant and foolish amongst us have done.

A reminder for myself first:

Not every issue raised or problem pointed out means that people are against us, or that they are attacking us.

We need to get rid of this mentality.

We find that this was done by the hypocrites during the lifetime of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم:

يَحْسَبُونَ كُلَّ صَيْحَةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ

{They think that every cry is against them.}
📚[Surah al-Munaafiqoon (63): 4]

And we do not have different laws for the people based on their status or merits.

It is reported in the Saheehain that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The people before you were ruined because when a noble person amongst them committed theft, they would leave him, but if a weak person amongst them committed theft, they would execute the legal punishment on him. By Allaah, were Faatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, to commit the theft, I would have cut off her hand."
📚[Saheeh al-Bukhaaree (3475, 3733, 6788) and Saheeh Muslim]

Narrated Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree رضي الله عنه, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: “Nay, the awe (fear/status) of people should not prevent a man from speaking the truth, if he knows it.”
📚[Sunan Ibn Maajah (4007) and graded as “Saheeh” by Shaikh al-Albaanee]

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-ʿAlaihi Wa Sallam said:

“Verily, there is nothing that is between the heaven and the earth but it knows that I am the Messenger of Allāh, except for the disobedient Jinns and humans.”

MAKING FUN OF ISLAM # Ahlul Athar

If you ask them (about this), they declare: "We were only talking idly and joking." Say: "Was it at Allaah, and His Ayaat and His Messenger that you were mocking?" Make no excuse; YOU HAVE DISBELIEVED after you had believed. If We pardon some of you, We will punish others amongst you because they were Mujrimoon (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals, etc) [Soorah Taubah 9.65-66]

*What’s your goal in life?*

Ibnul Qayyim رحمه الله said:

‎"The greatest goal of the servant is to die upon Islam, and this is in the Hand of Allah."

📓Al-Fawaa‘id (page: 201).

Allah عز وجل said:

تَوَفَّنِىۡ مُسۡلِمًا وَّاَلۡحِقۡنِىۡ بِالصّٰلِحِيۡ

"...cause me to die as a Muslim (the one submitting to Your Will), and join me with the righteous." آمين
[Suurat Yuusuf: 101]

"The closest a servant is to his Lord is when he is in prostration." • [رواه مسلم ٢٨٤]

Sheikh Uthaymīn رحمه الله stated: "This is because he has placed his forehead (face) - the highest and most honourable part of his body - down into the ground where people treat upon with their feet, in doing so he demonstrates the perfection of subservience to Allāh."

The one standing up is actually higher up physically than the one down in prostration, however since the prostrating one humbled himself to Allāh, consequently Allāh raised him and so he is actually closer to Allāh."

So if is appropriate you make plentiful supplication in these prostrations - whether obligatory or supererogatory prayers -, and you supplicate for whatever you wish (after completing the prescribed supplications) as long as it's not a sin or cutting the ties of kinship.

So a student of knowledge may ask, "O' Allāh increase me in knowledge and grant me understanding and memorisation", the one building a house may ask, "O' Allāh aid me in the completion of the house", the youth may ask "O' Allāh grant me a wife", ... and so on."

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever takes the money of the people with the intention of repaying it, Allah will repay it on his behalf, and whoever takes it in order to spoil it, then Allah will spoil him."

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawzeeyah said:

‘If a person established the Uboodeeyah (servitude of worship) of Sabr (patience) as is necessary, then Allaah changes an affliction for him to an appropriate benefit and a favour.

Transforms a calamity to an award, a disliked matter becomes beloved. Since indeed Allaah Azza wa Jal does not trial a slave to destroy him But in fact, He trials him to test his patience and his servitude of worship of Allaah.

Indeed Allaah Ta’ala has Uboodeeyah (servitude of worship) upon the slave during times of hardships just as Allaah has Uboodeeyah during times of ease.

Allaah has Uboodeeyah upon him regarding matters which the slave dislikes just as Allaah has Uboodeeyah regarding matters which Allaah loves. Most of the creation are given Uboodeeyah in matters they love.

However, the issue is being granted the ability of Uboodeeyah in matters the slave dislikes. There is a variation in the different levels of the worshippers of Allaah, and in accordance with those levels will be their levels with Allaah Ta’ala.’

I read a book that said:

"To understand what life is, you have to visit 3 locations:

The hospital.

The prison.

The cemetery.

At the hospital, you will understand that nothing is more beautiful than health.

In prison, you'll see that freedom is the most precious thing.

At the cemetery, you will realize that life is worth nothing, the ground we walk on today, will be our roof
