“Just as a man should take a look at the woman (for marriage), the woman’s guardian should find out about the man’s religiousness, character, and situation. This is because the woman becomes tied to her spouse like a slave does, so if the guardian marries her off to a sinner or an innovator, he has violated both her and himself.

A man once asked Al-Hasan: ‘To whom should I marry my daughter?’ So he replied: ‘Someone who fears Allah; if he loves her, he will honor her, and if he hates her, he will not wrong her.’”

— Ibn Qudāmah al-Maqdisi (رحمه الله)

The point the Shaykh (حفظه الله) makes here regarding knowledge, is very much applicable to Da’wah as well.

It’s upon us to be wary of using Da’wah to bring personal Dunyawi benefits and gains to ourselves. The Deen of Allāh and calling to it should be for far greater motives then what we see many intending to achieve therewith.

Make your Da’wah a tool through which you seek The Majestic Face of Allāh سبحانه وتعالى, not a tool for seeking fame, recognition, money, or women. It’s easy to have your name recognized all over the Earth, but to have a name that’s recognized in the heavens? That’s a real accomplishment.

May Allāh protect us from corrupt intentions and rectify our hearts.

Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى) is like an arrow. The more they attempt to draw him back, the further Allāh (سبحانه و تعالى) casts him forward.

May Allāh keep him steadfast

One of the Sahābah رضوان الله عليهم أجمعين when his donkey used to disobey him, he used to say: "Wallāhī this is from my own sin". The same applies to us. When your car doesn't start in the morning, when you have a problem in the morning, when you have a problem with your wife, with your child, with your professor and school, you ask yourself: "what did I do?" Allāh Does not Oppress! We are the ones who oppress ourselves, but Allāh Gave us in this great Religion a way out.

Who doesn't make a mistake? It's normal to make a mistake. But the problem is persistent on the mistake. Knowing that you are wrong, and persistent on it; not repenting to Allāh. If Allāh Wanted us not to make a mistake, He Wouldn't have sent humans. He already Has Angels. If Allāh Wanted us to be devils – as most of us are – He Would have made of us devils. We are in the middle, we make mistakes, but we have a way out. That way is repentance to Allāh!

- Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله

We don't ask Allah for trials, but once they're over, one can't help but miss the sweetness of 'Ibadah that was tasted in their duration. The best reward of being afflicted with difficulty is the unwavering Tawakkul that one develops through it and the Du'aas that escape from the depths of your soul in the dark abyss of the night.

When the dark waves of trials come crashing down on you, don't struggle against them and fight to reach the surface. Accept the decree of your Lord. Dive deeper and find the pearl of contentment and Yaqeen. The waves haven't been sent to destroy you, but rather to force you to dive deeper and find a valuable treasure worth more than the world and everything it contains.

"These are essential matters. I believe these Fiqh matters are very essential. To me they're very essential. Some people take them lightly, I don't know how they do so when proper Taharah is based on knowing them and applying them and ‘Ibādah’s acceptance is based on proper Tahārah...

No one should get lazy in learning these Masā'il. They're very essential to every single Muslim... shortcomings in purifying oneself from Najāsah is not to be taken lightly. It's sufficient to know the horrific consequences of shortcomings in these details. It may be a cause for one's punishment in the grave. May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى protect us from that...

Holding these matters in high regard, learning them in detail, all that changes one's thought process towards Salāh and 'Ibādah, and that helps attain Kushū'. Anything essential in your life, you prepare for it beforehand, and one of the ways to prepare for the meeting with Al-Jabbār, Mālik Al-Mulook, is by proper Tahārah before Salāh."

— Shaykh Ahmad Musā Jibrīl حفظه الله [Furū' al-Fiqh #18]

My daughter has come down with a high fever, Alhamdulillah.

I request that you keep her and the Muslims in your Duā’.

وجزاكم الله خير الجزاء وبارك فيكم
