"As a Da’iyah, be like Ibrahim. He sacrificed himself to fire, he sacrificed his food for his guests, and he submitted his son to sacrifice. You give, you give, you give, and never ever expect or ask anything. Be exemplary and refuse any reward. If anything, expect harm in return. Give, give, give, be patient over trials and you will get the ultimate reward from Allah سبحانه و تعالى‎."

— Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى)

WEBSITE DEVELOPER

Previously we made an announcement with regards to a website developer. We’ve since fine tuned what we are looking for Alhamdulillah.

The Website will be a source for videos, pdfs, articles, and Fatwa.

Main categories > Subcategories > List of Series playlist to choose from > Specific Playlist

For this portion, if you’d like to be apart of this effort for the sake of Allah, please create a sample website with the following landing pages, and suggested flow path:

Video

Main categories > Subcategories > List of Series playlist to choose from > Specific Playlist

Aqeedah > Tawheed > Explanation of Usūl Al-Thalātha > Playlist of the series

Fiqh > General > (On-going) Explanation of Furū’ Al-Fiqh > Playlist of each of the series (on separate pages)

Tazkiyat Ul-Nafs > Istighfār > Expalanation of Mujibāt Al-Istighfār > Playlist of the series

Refuting Doubts and Misconceptions > Murji’a/Modernists > The Treaty of Hudaybiyyah > Playlist of the series

Books/PDFs

This landing page will have all the Books/PDFs displayed, with the option to filter by categories, such as:

Tawheed, Walā and Barā, Fiqh, Tazkiyatu Al-Nafs, etc

Articles

Articles landing page will also all be listed by noscript, with the option to filter by categories — similar to the categories listed above.

Fatwa

The Fatwa landing page will be headlined by a Search bar, and will be underlain by another section which categorizes all existing Fatwas by category (Aqeedah, Fiqh, Family, Divorce, Finance, etc). The entirety of each question and answer is to be considered a “tag” so when one utilizes the search bar, it will yield beneficial and pertinent results.

Admin Panel

You will also need to provide an Admin Panel, where we can easily add new Categories and subcategories, and upload whatever videos/pdfs/articles/fatwas to each, as well as post new articles, and Fatwas, and the option to place searchable tags to each video/pdf/article/Fatwa that’s uploaded.

Videos can be embedded by way of either YouTube, or Online Archive, as to save hosting costs. All items must have the option to share to social media platforms and download to device. For videos, please have an audio file automatically generated or linked, to which someone has the option to stream or download since some people have data restrictions and audio takes much less data than video.

Other than that, please feel free to add your creative spin to this and purify your intentions for the sake of Allah Alone.

This is obviously a very big project, but Insha’Allah the Ajr is HUGE and GENERATIONAL. Many of us take time away from our families, as well as incur out of pocket “costs” which is nothing but a Tazkiyyah of our money in the path of Da’wah, and we’ve been taught the importance of maintaining a strict separation between Da’wah and money by Shaykh Ahmad حفظه الله, so it’s important that whoever works with us share this same mindset and approach to Da’wah.

If you’re interested, or have any questions, please submit your sample website to our Bot, and we will get back to you once we review it. BarakaAllahu Feekum.

"I was present in a gathering recently in which the topic of discussion was death, & dying upon what one lives upon. Specifically, someone bought up how uttering the Shahadah at the moment of death is not something that happens at will, but rather is Tawfeeq from Allāh to one who lived by it.

One brother in specific mentioned car accidents, & how anytime he gets into a fender bender or something more serious, he always reflects on how his first utterance is always an exclamation of shock & how he wishes that Allāh تعالى would give him the ability to remember His Exalted Name instead, so that if he dies in such an accident, those would be his last words.

The convo continued around that point, & how we should accustom ourselves to Dhikr when taken by surprise, not mere yelling.

Not even 24 hrs passed, & the same brother who mentioned car accidents gets into a near fatal collision, where a driver came at full speed, colliding into his car just inches behind his head. Any closer, & he would have been killed instantly.

The entire car flipped, and he and the brother driving hung upside down inside. After coming out of the initial shock, he began to recite the Shahadah and do Istighfār, but he was still disappointed with the fact that the first thing he had done was yell in shock, not Dhikr. Had he been killed on impact, the yell would have been his last utterance, not the Shahadah.

Although miraculously, he & the brother with him emerged fine & just bruised up, it just goes to show how you may discuss a matter one day & Allāh تعالى brings it before you the next.

Death follows one like a shadow that may strike at any moment, there’s no being ready or expectant.

When we all sat the day prior discussing it, we didn’t even consider that one of us may miss it by inches the next day, in the EXACT scenario that we were hypothesizing about.

It’s a shame how certain we are in reaching the future when Allāh called death ‘Al-Yaqeen’ in the Qur’ān. It’s as if Allāh تعالى intended to emphasize the point of the first person, that Shahadah in the face of death is Tawfeeq from Allāh, not something that happens upon will.

All in all, it was a wake up call that made it difficult to sleep for a few days, and insha’Allah it benefits one who may have become heedless of death.

May Allāh only allow us to meet Him when He’s pleased with us and when our hearts have become vessels that house His Book. May Allāh grant us martyrdom and use us in His path and never replace us!"

“And with them will be women limiting [their] glances


Ibn ‘Abbās, Mujāhid and others said, “chaste females who will not look at anyone other than their husbands”, and others said “their eyes are described as beautiful and chaste” (Ibn Kathīr)
———
Allāh تعالى singles out this quality of the women of paradise due to it’s great virtue and sign of purity. It is from the perfection of a woman’s good character, beauty and hayā’ to save her gaze for her husband. Mu’mināt should not be negligent with this matter and adopt these qualities of the women of paradise, in order to be from the women of paradise.

Ibn Taymiyyah (رحمه الله):
“It is not permissible for a woman to look at men whether with or without desire, at all!”
[Majmū’ al-Fatāwā 15/396]
———
“The woman who stares at men and distributes her glances at the passerby will lose something of her beauty.”

We don't know what our beloved 'Ulama' of Haqq go through on a daily basis due to the heavy burden of this religion that they carry on their shoulders. Let us be grateful to Allah for what He blessed us with of lions of this religion, who are constantly at the forefront to protect the religion from manipulation, taking the brunt for it in silence and contentment with Allah's decree. The least we can do, if we truly love them for Allah's sake, is sincere supplication and spreading their life works for the sake of Allah.

They mention snippets regarding their trials in passing (when there's a benefit), as if they are nothing, while our minds are left baffled at what they just spoke of. They sacrifice their time and safety for the benefit of the Ummah, making themselves available to serve this Deen constantly, while the majority of us cannot even remember them in our Du'aas.

May Allah forgive them and forgive us, protect them, and raise their ranks, and unite us all under His 'Arsh and in Firdaws after that.

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

We are excited and pleased to announce the launch of our website! We apologize for the long wait, but you'd be surprised how long it takes to code a website from scratch, with functionality that is inline with our values and principles. With this website, you'll be able to do the following:

💎 Browse the various opposite genders profile

💎 Express Interest in as many brothers/sisters as you want

💎 Once there is mutual interest, you'll be able to chat with the brother/sister

💎 Sisters will have a Wali Chat Link, which they are asked to share with their Wali/Wakeel, so they can oversee all the sister's chats

💎 You'll have be able to send 3 texts to each person you're matched with, per day (The intent is to make each message necessary and meaningful, and not to have unnecessary chit chat)

💎 Thorough questionnaire for both brothers and sisters

💎 Each message that is sent by both brother or sister, is approved or rejected by ADMIN (The intent is to provide a line of defense against any unnecessary/inappropriate/reckless messages, and provide third-party oversight for those sisters who do not yet have a Wali/Wakeel so that Khawla doesn't take place in the chat)

🛡Registering for a profile doesn't require any personally identifying information. There is no email verification, so you can use an arbitrary email, arbitrary Kunya or name

🛡Only registered and approved members will be able to see the opposite gender's profiles

🌎 Worldwide Access

💵 FREE OF CHARGE

The Best Woman of the Women of This Nation

"Interestingly enough, when Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم used to remember Khadījah رضي الله عنها after her death, he would cite her support of him in prophethood & that she was the mother of his children. Most remember her today simply because she was allegedly a “CEO boss woman”.

She, رضي الله عنها, was a woman that the Prophet never ceased to remember fondly & lovingly, despite marrying multiple women after her passing. But we find that the reason that he remembered her and loved her so much, is far different from the reason many today remember her.

People today remember her as “an independent woman”, a “businesswoman”, an icon for feminists (a’udhu billah from such a statement), etc. But when Rasulullah صلى الله عليه وسلم remembered her and spoke of her, what did he cite? Why did he love her so much? Not for the reasons people do today, but because she was such a GOOD AND SUPPORTIVE WIFE and because she was the MOTHER of his children! Not because she was a “businesswoman” or the likes.

To the dismay of most of the modern women who claim Islām, the major role she played in Islāmic history and what she was remembered for the most was being an amazing wife and mother.

Two roles they want to diminish the importance of and discourage Muslimāt from seeking.

Imagine a wife so supportive and believing of her husband’s Da’wah and prophethood and so loving that even after her death, his wives after her would feel jealousy just from the way he remembered and spoke of her.

That’s a type of wife and mother sisters should aspire to be."

عائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتِ اسْتَأْذَنَتْ هَالَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ أُخْتُ خَدِيجَةَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَعَرَفَ اسْتِئْذَانَ خَدِيجَةَ فَارْتَاعَ لِذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ هَالَةَ ‏"

Narrated A'ishah (رضى الله عنها): Once Hala bint Khuwaylid, Khadijah's sister, asked the permission of the Prophet (ﷺ) to enter. On that, the Prophet (ﷺ) remembered the way Khadijah used to ask permission, and that upset him. He said, "O Allah! Hala!"

What a woman she was! Even after her passing A'ishah (رضى الله عنها) used to say to the Prophet (ﷺ) about her:

كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ خَدِيجَةُ‏.

"(You treat Khadijah in such a way) as if there is no woman on earth except Khadijah."

ANNOUNCMENT

We've had nearly 200 people register and it hasn't even been 24 hours, Allahumma Baarek!

As a result, we've had 18 or so support requests, mainly having to do with people having a problem submitting their questionnaire. Nothing to panic about, this is expected with a launch of a new service that is designed from the ground up. We'll be putting a pause on new registrations to the site until we address the support requests and insha'Allah fix the existing issues and prevent any future issues from happening.

Thank you for understanding.

Please note: For all those who are already registered, have completed your questionnaire, and it's been approved, you can continue to browse the profiles and express interest, and chat (once you match). Those who have registered, but have not yet completed their questionnaire, can still complete your questionnaire and if it's approved, you'll also be able to continue to use the site as normal.

We are temporarily disabling New Registrations, and will reopen it in 48 hours, insha'Allah!

If you were able to register an account, but are having trouble submitting your questionnaire, please join our Telegram channel to connect with our technical support.

“Adopting any and every weak, anomalous, rejected, & minority opinion of any scholar possible, so long as it agrees with liberalism & fits nicely with the agenda of women's "emancipation/liberation", is what you call Feminist Fiqh.

Not only is it big time Fisq, it leads to Kufr.

Some so called "practicing" women will judge any & every statement of a scholar regarding women based off of how well it fits in with modern feminist standards and theory.

They can't wear Hijāb properly but have the audacity to accuse Imams of the past of gender bias in Fatawa.

Feminism is a new Madhhab for so many young women, its astonishing how well the Kuffar succeeded in brainwashing them in just 1-2 generations.

And then they have the nerve to argue that they're not emotionally driven creatures who think from the heart and not the head.

"One opinion from here, one from there, one from this Zindeeq, one from this Imam of Sunnah" and what do all their views have in common? Proof? No, by Allah! Just that they're "in favor" of women and make Islam look sooo good and Feminist.

I thought I knew what Fatwa shopping was before, but interacting with & seeing these types of women really taught me how it's done. They wear the glasses of desire & see only that which appeals to the agenda that has truly settled in their hearts (Feminism).

But for the true believer, desires aren't the determining factor of what you adopt and what you reject. One must train himself so well that even if he was averse to something, when he comes to know it's what the Shari'ah says, it becomes the most beloved thing to him.

Keep the Hadith between your eyes:

"لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ هَوَاهُ تَبَعًا لِمَا جِئْتُ بِهِ"

“None of you [truly] believes until his desires are subservient to that which I have brought.”

May Allāh reward and protect Shaykh Ahmad and his family and ease all their affairs!

People began to take this matter pertaining to education in the West more seriously, after the West began to push and prompt that disgusting, despicable Fāhishah in the schools. But many don’t know nor value Tawheed. Because for years, way before that, way before pushing this aggressively into the curriculums – they were destroying the Tawheed in the hearts and in the minds of the children...

Only those who Allāh blinded their hearts, can’t see the effect of what the public schools do to their children, or will do to their children. They’re a breeding ground to raise a generation with no true Islāmic identity."
