Imaam Fudayl bin Iyad رحمه الله narrates:
I learned patience from a small boy. On my way to the Masjid one day, I came across a woman beating her son at home. As he was yelling and screaming, he managed to open the door and flee. So his mother locked the door on him. When I returned from the Masjid, I found the boy after having cried and wept sleeping at the door of his home longing for his mother. So his mother's heart softened and she opened the door for him.
Upon witnessing this, Fudayl bin lyad cried until his beard became wet with tears, and then he said "SubhaanAllah! If only the servant was to be patient at the door of Allah, Allah would surely open it!
[Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6]

Even if you get everything you want in this dunya - this dunya ends.
And everything with it ends.
We are living on borrowed time, with borrowed blessings. And the ultimate reward, waits for us in Jannah.

How many more of our kids are starving and suffering like that? How many more of our brothers and sisters?
May Allah save us from being heedless

The Allāmah, the one who acts upon what he preaches — our beloved Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى). A man we’ve seen endure mountainous tests as a result of his unwavering Da’wah to Tawheed, with his trials only increasing him in resolve and steadfastness نحسبه كذالك والله حسيبه. Even during the peak of his tests, you’ll never hear him say anything regarding them except, “Alhamdulillah.”
Through out the years, there have been coordinated attacks between the disbelievers and Munāfiqeen alike, which has yielded no progress in extinguishing the Da’wah of the Shaykh. To the contrary and likewise their dismay, the love, respect, and exposure of the Shaykh’s Da’wah has only expanded further and further, spanning now from the east to the west.
To put it in perspective, the same hypocrites who unleash their tongues in slander, are the ones given visas to travel all across the world, are allowed to open up Masājid in lands where governments are open enemies of Islam, attend and speak at international conferences, spread their Da’wah whilst receiving “counter-terrorism” funds and grants, and much more. These same people want you to believe they’re upon the “Methodology of the Salaf,” and the one who has unheard of restrictions placed upon him due to his Deen, has been targeted, lied against, and prevented from traveling freely — all because his Da’wah, is somehow upon the “Manhaj of the Khawarij.”
Think to yourself, which condition is more like the Prophet and His Sahābah during the early years of The Da’wah. These slanderous Munāfiqeen, or the Shaykh حفظه الله تعالى.
The masses have realized that the persistent and baseless name-calling and slander by those whose Manhaj is synonymous with Nifāq — holds no weight, especially when for over 30+ years, they’ve yet to produce a single evidence based academic refutation. Rather, the culmination of decades of their “refutations,” comes up to be nothing more than grade school name-calling, baseless lies, and fairytale accusations, and the occasional red-paint-through-the-eyes picture — which in and of itself, should tell you all you need to know about the Manhaj and Aqeedah of the Shaykh. They don’t dare go on record quoting the Shaykh verbatim and within context, and then prove by citing the Salaf (or even the classical scholars), just how the Shaykh contradicts the Aqeedah of Ahlul Sunnah. This is an open challenge, but I won’t hold my breath.
We ask Allah to guide those whom are sincere amongst their misguided, and show us a day in which the arrogant amongst them are made examples of, in a way that brings a coolness and ease to the hearts of the Believers.
