“I ask Allāh that He accepts from us the minuscule and insignificant efforts we’ve put in to spread his Deen and conveying the Haqq. I swear by Allāh that none of it is even worthy of being mentioned or considered. I’ve been in involved in online Da’wah one way or another since the age of 14, and in my own words, I remember telling someone close that “If they want to silence our Shaykh, then we’ll keep his words and Da’wah alive and flourishing until Allāh returns him to us, and even if he doesn’t return, this is something we will never leave off so long as Allāh permits us.” I still stand by that resolution now, and that has been the main motivation behind these pages from the beginning — and Alhamdulillah that He facilitates these matters. What pathetic excuses of students we would be if we let the Kuffār erase his influence and the truth that he had preached so easily. At that time, the Shaykh was restricted and prevented from Da’wah totally, however his classes and Da’wah from before were our mainstay and pillar throughout some of the most difficult days of our life.

The days pass on, and every trial come to climax and then starts to ease. That was when Allāh سبحانه وتعالى finally granted us the pleasure of contacting Shaykh Ahmad personally, the first thing he informed us of was that he had been making Du’ā for us all these years by name, despite not knowing us personally, nor us knowing of him knowing us!

If I sat down and decided to write about every favor Shaykh Ahmad (and of course Shaykh Mūsā حفظهما الله) bestowed upon our family throughout these years, I swear by Allāh I wouldn’t be able to do it justice.

Despite the myriad of personal troubles and tests that he faces on a daily, every time he was contacted regarding personal troubles or for advice, he was only a text message away and even closer. Whenever I would read his responses out loud to my family, they left us speechless and emotional (to say at the least). Not only has he always been helpful, and “at our service” (in his own words), he has always gone the extra mile, above and beyond — ready to do even that which some family would back away from. If a time came where our contact became infrequent, he would reach out himself to ensure everything was okay. If we had a personal issue while he was also having problems, he endeavored to respond as quickly as his situation permitted. If we needed a call, he would simply tell us to state any time and he would prioritize it. The amount of respect he shows even our parents is heartwarming, despite being near in age. He put us to shame every single time and in every single matter. Every time we extended our hand to honor our teacher and beloved Imām, he returned the honor and respect by tenfold. If we ever came to know of a personal issue he faced, it was due to our asking, never his telling. And SubhanAllah, I could sense that the mood in the household afterwards would be so downcast and depressed after coming to know of these matters. But at the same time, we couldn’t help but think, what a man, may Allāh bless him — one who suffers BY CHOICE for the sake of Allāh’s Word being supreme.

May Allāh honor him, his father, and his family in Dunyā and Ākhirah without measure. Such a blessed family from whom we’ve benefited immensely in our Deen and Dunyā both. The most beloved of people to our hearts and of the closest to us. And by Allāh, we consider the honor of knowing them to be an answer to some of our most ardent Du’ās. With them, we came to know of brotherhood that we only used to read of in ancient books, with no expectation that we would experience it in our own lives.

The hashtag was #SupportShaykhAhmadJibril back then when we were just young teenagers who didn’t know him personally, but loved him dearly for Allāh’s sake, and it’s #IStandWithShaykhAhmad now, a little short of a decade later — and it hasn’t wavered nor slackened. He told us to consider him our younger brother. We responded that that’s impossible, rather we consider him like a father figure instead.

One who raised us in our Deen and ‘Aqeedah (by the Fadhl and permission of Allāh) is someone who deserves every ounce of our support and love. The Imām of the West, a man for the Ummah, may Allāh protect him from his enemies and elevate his rank to Firdaws, along with his noble father and honorable mother.”

Makna Jihad Sesungguhnya:
‘Apakah hadits “Kami telah kembali dari jihad yang paling kecil menuju jihad yang paling besar” ini shahih?’

Oleh Syaikh Ahmad Musa Jibril [Hafizhahullahu ta'ala]

#FreePalestine
#GazaUnderAttack
The beauty of life lies in it’s tragedy,
But a breath between a laugh and a cry.
Some days the cheeks hurt from smiling,
Other days the tears never dry.

How beautiful is the irony,
That in both moments of joy and grief,
It is the water that escapes the eyes,
That becomes the foretoken of relief.

Calmness and serenity on the faces,
Is only but an illusion and deceit,
The warrior hearts of all creation,
Suffer detested days of defeat.

Would that you stopped your loathing,
And became content with your decree.
How astonishing is such a servant,
Who has set his heart free.

So it no longer struggles in a battle,
Resisting such a fate that is divine,
His heart harbors nary any discontent,
Whether sitting in shade or in shine.

When it puts down its weapons,
And surrenders in humility and defeat,
Only then can it be considered a warrior,
Of the ranks of the foremost and elite.

He who surrenders is the victor,
A most peculiar war indeed,
Its strategy eluded most mankind,
So be you one to heed…

Abusive parents, neglectful parents, oppressive parents, strained relationships with one or both — yes, it’s difficult. Yes, your wounded heart never seems to heal. May Allāh have mercy on all those brothers and sisters who suffer from such personal issues and heal their hearts. In conversing with them, one can always see that their souls are covered in scars that continue to bleed without warning.

However, as a Muslim, you must seek out the reward and wisdom in every trial you face. Most people have natural inclination and desire to treat their parents with Birr and Ihsān due to their love for them and due to the desire to “return a favor” (which is never possible in this case of course).

But when it comes to such extreme cases, in which a believer only feels hurt, betrayal, and resentment at the mention of his parent(s), he should know this is a blessing in disguise. In his case, his Ihsān and Birr towards his parents is totally pure and sincerely for Allāh سبحانه وتعالى alone. He has little to no love, affection, or attachment as a motive behind his kindness to them — he only does it to please Allāh and all he desires from it is His Pleasure. His reward is therefore, infinitely more than one who simply treated them kindly out of reciprocal love and natural affection. That alone should motivate him to excel in his piety towards them.

What greater blessing than a trial which purifies your deeds from every ulterior motive, even if it be a natural one? And it may be that as a recompense for his resolve and sincerity, Allāh سبحانه وتعالى eases his affairs and heals his inner wounds — or grants him a mountain load of Sabr, and that’s better for him than ease.

Along with that, SubhānAllāh, meeting such brothers and sisters really makes one realize that even the most overlooked shortcomings in parents characters, behaviors, and relationship with each other can adversely affect the entire life and personality of their child. You see men and women in their 30s and 40s still suffering internally due to divorces between parents, neglect, bad relationship between the parents themselves, oppression, harsh words, etc. Lack of healthy relationship with one’s children, and lack of a healthy relationship between parents themselves, leaves their children struggling with trust issues and constantly feeling vulnerable and unstable (at the very least). In interactions with children from broken or troubled homes, one thing that has always been common between them is the forlorn look of emptiness and desolation in their eyes — you can’t miss it.

Parenting has great rewards, but with that is a great responsibility and punishment if misused and neglected. It’s an Amānah that one will be asked about strenuously on Yawm Al-Qiyāmah. Just like any other aspect of our lives, we must turn to Islām for guidance regarding it. Education on the rights of parents is widespread, and rightfully so. However, education on how to parent and raise children properly and healthily is scarce. May Allāh rectify our affairs.

It was said to one of the Salaf: Death is a good thing. 

He said: O son of my brother, do not do that, for an hour of life in which you ask Allah for forgiveness is better for you than an eternity of death.

If a one allows his vision to be obscured by the clouds of his trials, he will never be able to weather the storm.

Sharpen your sight. A believer must see right through the storm and into the calm awaiting him on the other side — an abode where he shall never suffer heaviness of heart again, nor shall he grieve.



وَإِنَّ ٱلدَّارَ ٱلْـَٔاخِرَةَ لَهِىَ ٱلْحَيَوَانُ ۚ لَوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ

And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.

A Litmus Test from the Trustee of RasūlAllāh ﷺ

This Manhaj is the Haqq, without a sliver of a doubt, and as a result, it is one in which Allāh سبحانه وتعالى tests the adherents severely. Brothers and sisters need to be aware of the fact that nobody is above being tested, and nobody is above being misguided if Allāh had willed it upon them (ونعوذ بالله من ذلك) — no matter how knowledgeable, outspoken, or dedicated he/she had been to this Manhaj and ‘Aqīdah prior to their misguidance.

It’s important for us all to be aware that while Allāh tests individuals, their failure of the test becomes a test for others as well. We often see that when well-known Dā’īs, outspoken social media personalities, or close intimate friends turn their heels on the Manhaj, others are left confused and some even start to have doubts regarding their own beliefs. Some question, “Why would someone seemingly so staunch or well-versed in the Manhaj have changed unless they found out they were upon misguidance?” But this question only arises from a lack of understanding of the nature of Fitnah itself and how to recognize it. If Fitnah was easy to avoid and recognize, the masses wouldn’t fall prey to it. Only those who Allāh has mercy upon can see it for what it is and avoid it, نسأل الله السلامة والعافية. It’s sneaky, it’s crafty. It finds its way even to the most knowledgeable and seemingly firm of people and often disguises itself as truth. The only weapon one has against it is Allāh’s Mercy and Protection upon him, and we ask Allāh to have mercy upon us and protect our hearts from deviating after having been guided.

However, it’s certainly not impossible to recognize it. I would like to remind the brothers and sisters of the litmus test provided to us by the esteemed Sahābi Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه, which serves as a great source of clarity in the dark times we’re going through. One can use it to test and recognize the state of others, and more importantly, to test himself — if he’s sincere and truly desires to keep himself upon the Blessed Path. You’ll see that his denoscription fits perfectly to many you see as of late, who fall prey to the same doubts they once refuted and clarified to others.

عن حذيفة رضي الله عنه: أنه قال: "إذا أحب أحدكم أن يعلم أصابته الفتنة أم لا؛ فلينظر، فإن كان رأى حلالا كان يراه حراما؛ فقد أصابته الفتنة، وإن كان يرى حراما كان يراه حلالا؛ فقد أصابته."

Hudhayfah رضي الله عنه said, “If one of you wants to know if he was hit with a Fitnah by Allāh (if Allāh misguided him) or not, then let him look: if he used to regard matters as Harām and now sees them as Halāl (he flipped it) or he made matters Harām which he used to deem Halāl, then he has been hit with a Fitnah.”

Shaykh Ahmad Mūsā Jibrīl حفظه الله commented on this statement, saying:

“If he is talking about Harām and Halāl, then worse than that is those who change their 'Aqīdah! What a coincidence — the changes in the principles of Islām so suddenly and so drastically all happened twelve years ago. What is going on here? What happened? Did they all suddenly get some type of revelation we do not know about? What was it that happened that their 'Aqīdah so suddenly and drastically changed overnight?

In another narration in Musannaf ‘Abdur-Razzāq and in Sunan Al-Bayhaqi, Abu Mas'ūd Al-Badri entered upon Hudhayfah. Abu Mas'ūd Al-Badri walked in on the Sahābi Hudhayfah — the same Sahābi we were talking about who is the holder of the secrets of the Prophet ﷺ. He said, “Advise me.” He is seeking advice from the man the Prophet ﷺ trusted with secrets. He (Hudhayfah) said, “Do not be like a snake, shedding skin in the Deen of Allāh.”

The skin of a Muslim does not moult in the Deen of Allāh. The moulting in the Deen of Allāh by some Du'āt has become a topic of mockery to the non-Muslim journalists and non-Muslim experts in these matters. Being firm on the correct way is an honor. Say ‘Alhamdulillah’ if you are on the correct way and you have been on it. WAllāhil-'Adheem, it is the biggest blessing you could get…It is an honor many had, but Allāh deemed them unworthy of it, so He stripped many of that honor and kept the very few.

Do not bolster about that big boy. WAllāhil-'Adheem, following in the footsteps of the Sahābah was an honor and Allāh the Almighty stripped you from it. Who keeps people firm on the right 'Aqīdah and who takes them away from the right 'Aqīdah? Allāh tells His own beloved ﷺ:

And had We not made you stand firm, you would nearly have inclined to them a little. (Surat Al-lsrā': 74)


Muhammad (ﷺ)! You would have been misguided if Allāh did not keep you on the Right, Guided path. That is talking to the Prophet ﷺ.

An Arabic poet who saw changes in his scholars in his area said: Your friends are no longer what you used to see them as. They went through phases and phases of moulting and changing!

As Fitan go on and as the snow keeps melting, you will see the reality of many more. That is the great benefit of the struggles that the Ummah goes through. The snow melts, and you see what is under it.

In order that Allāh may distinguish the wicked from the good, and put the wicked one on another, heap them together and cast them into Hell. Those! It is they who are the losers. (Surat Al-Anfāl: 37)”

Doing well in terms of ‘Ibadāt & Īmān, achieving goals and nearing others, and then out of nowhere life becomes replete with disturbances and issues?

Make no mistake — these are no coincidences, rather they’re distractions from the Shaytān. As soon as one starts to fail or falter, life becomes as smooth as ever once again.

Never forget that in every moment of your living, you’re accompanied by عدو مبين.

کافروں کی افواج میں شامل ہونے والے مرتدین کے متعلق چند اہم احکام۔

‏—فضيلة الشيخ أحمد موسى جبريل (حفظه ال

(Translation credits to @/WaniWanderer via Twitter)

Proper pronunciation of the Qur’ān (Tajweed and Makhārij) is some of the bare basic knowledge that every Muslim should have. Non-Arab brothers and sisters should realize that the longer you put off learning it, the harder it will become when you do eventually try. If you need proof of that, try to teach your parents or grandparents the proper pronunciation of Arabic letters and watch them struggle. For most, no matter how much you teach them, it will always be difficult and strenuous, and even if they learn to the best of their ability, it will not be perfect.

The older you get, the more your tongue becomes settled in the pronunciation of your mother tongues — and the more difficulty it finds in trying to adapt to new languages. Start learning the proper way to recite as early as possible so that you can master it, and so that you can pass it on to your children with ease. It is not fitting to delay something so important, and it can even be sinful to do so depending on how much of a novice one is (such as if the mistakes change the meaning of the words).

May Allāh سبحانه وتعالى make us all from Ahl Al-Qur’ān and honor us through it.
