“Making it obvious that you find something that a non-Mahram brother said funny is a Fitnah — the result of which has always been catastrophic for intentions. If you, as a Muslim woman, care about your brothers, their Da’wah, their intentions, and their hereafter, refrain from doing this, we ask you by Allāh.

It’s pitiful that this needs to be said, because most girls learn this in their early school years — laugh at a random kid’s joke, and he won’t leave you alone after that. That was with children, imagine grown adult women and men SubhānAllāh, and in an arena like Da’wah. What’s worse is those sisters who join live religious discussions or even written discussions by brothers (on Twitter, etc.) and fill the comments and quote tweets with their laughing emojis and “LOLs” and whatnot. My sister, laugh about it in private please. This is not how you act in public. Funnily enough, for most, this behavior ends the moment they’re married. Either because their husbands knock sense into them (the better assumption), or because of the other obvious reason (the behavior was attention seeking, and we’d hate to assume that about any of our sisters).

And if you really can’t hold back from commentary or if you have something beneficial to add (in a LIMITED, non-Fitnah context and way), then use an anonymous account that isn’t obviously a female and don’t engage further. This is better for you heart and theirs.”

“He who wishes to choose a beloved should know that they are chosen for two types; a woman due to the beauty of her image, or a friend due to the beauty of his character.

If you like a woman for her beauty, you should also think of her character before allowing your heart be attached to her. If you find her character as you like it to be, then the basis of such a decision should be on her religiosity as the Prophet (ﷺ) said to go for the one who’s religious — unleash your heart and pursue her.”

Judgement belongs to none but Allah!

إِنِ ٱلْحُكْمُ إِلَّا لِلَّه

The ignorant individual who participates in democratic elections and the idiots who have a defective mind and are short sighted that invite people along with themselves to commit this apostasy (kufr) with the false excuse of lesser of the two evils! Are they so ignorant they don’t know there is no such excuse for committing apostasy against Allah?!

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said a believer is not bitten from the same hole twice.

Those disbelievers who encourage and even promote the spread of kufr - democracy - need to stop deceiving and encouraging people to take part in the democratic elections and camafloucging the evilness of such a system of disbelief. When will they stop?? They have disbelieved in Allah and His Message. Let the Muslims wake up and take heed with a mere two examples amongst countless.

In a recently previous election, a candidate won through the vote of the Muslims. They rationalized their votes by citing the need to select the lesser of two evils, aiding his victory. So, they sacrificed their religion and disbelieved by disregarding the laws of Allah and had him win the elections with the hope that he would aid the Muslims locally and globally. What was the result of their disbelief and trusting in other than Allah? Contrary to their expectations, the world never saw a more destructive man towards the Ummah! He made the whole world fight Islam and the Muslims, resulting in devastation and continuous conflict. He waged war on two Muslim countries, absolutely annihilated every reminiscence of those countries and the Muslim brethren there. He fought them and continued to fight non stop for twenty years. He established a global war against Islam. He inflamed extreme anti-Muslim hatred worldwide, even turning the Muslims against each other. One economist said the money he spent on destroying those countries, if you were to fill the entire Earth with 100 dollar bills it would reach heaven! See how much money he spent on his effort to try and eradicate Islam?!

This incident alone serves as a sufficient warning; Muslims need to turn to Allah alone. Justice will never be implemented without the Shari’ah of Allah. But they chose to remain ignorant and were fooled by the dollar for scholars, so, they continued in their Shirk and misguidance voting in another president.

Let it be known, the Muslim blood is not cheap and the hand of every single person who played a part will pay on the Judgement Day - including the so called Muslims who commit Shirk and partake in democratic elections - we find no excuse for your ignorance and idiocy! You are all responsible. Rather than seeking to justify your actions or pointing fingers at others, it's crucial to acknowledge and take responsibility for your own transgressions. As for the one who says everyone who is elected will cause havoc, at least don’t aid the oppressor with your support! Each individual will be held accountable for their actions on the Day of Judgment. Ignorance and folly cannot serve as a shield.

For a second time, they fell back on the same misguided and foolish justifications and committed Shirk. A political candidate—a pawn of the Devil—recited a few translations of Ahadith, and the Muslims went crazy for him. The retard who can’t walk or speak properly propelled into office by ignorant Muslims. Their actions did not stop at their own transgression; they incited others to apostate and to turn away from their religion, using the flawed rationale of choosing the lesser evil by voting for this man. And upon his victory, what followed? He wreaked havoc upon sacred lands, he annihilated our blessed land, he took Aqsa from the Muslims and destroyed our brethren. We witnessed another Crusader attack. Crimes committed that history never witnessed before! He demolished, destroyed and annihilated. Widespread devastation ensued—unstoppable by the populace.

This flawed notion of democracy is nothing but a ruse, a mere deceit.

In Islam there is no democracy, it’s all kufr - the law of the people, by the people, for the people. Who will ensure justice? Sovereignty belongs exclusively to Allah alone. It is Allah’s rule. Allah is the only judge and ruler. It is His laws that should be followed, not the arbitrary laws made by humans.

Those with power need to stop driving the masses towards decay, disbelief and leading them to corruption and kufr by following democracy.

Republicans and Democrats are two facets of the same issue, two sides of the same coin. It leads you only to two bleak options. Embracing democracy is disbelief. You cannot embrace it, implement it, invite to it or endorse it. It’s Kufr. Its entire concept is Kufr and it is evil and we see this throughout its entire history, nothing good ever came out of it. If they fool you in one way with their niceties, know for sure, they have destroyed your brothers elsewhere. Any engagement with democracy, whether adopting, executing, or encouraging participation, such as voting in its processes, is disbelief.

Those who encourage participation in democratic elections seem to have no sense of extent of the harm caused as a consequence of their actions (e.g., votes).
Look at when a Muslim country was invaded under false pretenses, with lies and deception used on the public as a justification for their invasion. They lied and fabricated to blindsight the people so they could excuse the horrors and atrocities they carried out on millions of innocent people.

وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعَالَوْا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ ٱلْمُنَـٰفِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنكَ صُدُودًۭا

And when it is said to them: “Come to what Allah has sent down and to the Messenger (Muhammad),” you see the hypocrites turn away from you with stubbornness and aversion.

When your trials reach the peak of their intensity, take it as a foretoken that relief will soon shine.

جب یہ حقیقت اپ پر واضح ہو جائے, کہ ان جمہوری انتخابات میں ووٹنگ کے ذریعے کیا قائم کیا جاتا ہے— یعنی کہ آپ اس کے ذریعے ایک طاغوتی نظام کو برقرار رکھتے ہیں جو اللہ کے علاوہ قانون سازوں کو منتخب کرتا ہے, تاکہ اللہ کے قانون کو چیلنج کیا جائے جو رسول (ﷺ) پر نازل ہوا تھا — جب یہ حقیقت ثابت ہو جائے تو اس شرک اور کفر میں حصہ لینے کے لیے کوئی "فائدہ" یا "سخت ضرورت" کا عذر نہیں دیا جا سکتا ہے۔

لوکوں کی توحید کی حفاظت سے بڑا کوئی اور مفاد نہیں۔ شیخ الاسلام ابن تیمیہ نے اپنی مجموع الفتاوی میں کہا کے:

‎أَنَّ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ قِسْمَانِ: " أَحَدُهُمَا " مَا يَقْطَعُ بِأَنَّ الشَّرْعَ لَمْ يُبِحْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا لَا لِضَرُورَةِ وَلَا لِغَيْرِ ضَرُورَةٍ: كَالشَّرَكِ

"وہ امور جو [شریعت میں] حرام ہیں، انہیں دو قسموں میں تقسیم کیا گیا ہے: پہلا - وہ کام جو شریعت میں [کسی بھی حالت میں] جائز نہیں، خواہ سخت ضرورت ہو یا نہ ہو، جیسے کہ شرک..."

اس سے بڑھ کر کیا بیوقوفی ہو گی، کہ سب سے بڑا فساد کر کے عظیم ترین فائدہ سے ہاتھ دھو بیٹھے؟ توحید سے زیادہ عظیم اور کیا فائدہ ہو سکتا ہے؟ اور تمام مفاسد کی ماں (یعنی شرک) کرنے سے زیادہ شدید کیا فساد ہو سکتا ہے؟

وہ "دو برائیوں میں سے کم کو منتخب" کرنے کے اصول کا غلط استعمال کرتے ہیں، جہاں اس کا اطلاق نہیں ہونا چاہیے اور نا ہی کیا جا سکتا ہے, اور اس کی ضروری شرائط (ایسے حالات سے متعلق) کو نظر انداز کرتے ہیں — جیسے اگرکسی ایک شخص کو مجبور کیا جائے (اكراه)، جہاں اس سے زبردستی دو حرام چیزیں کروائی جاری ہیں، تب وہ دو برائیوں میں سے کم کا انتخاب کرسکتا ہے۔ وہ شیخ الاسلام ابن تیمیہ کے فتوے کو غلط رنگ دیتے ہیں۔

عجیب بات یہ ہے کہ وہ "دو برائیوں میں سے کم کو منتخب" کرنے کی غلط فہمی میں درحقیقت تمام برائیوں میں سے بدترین برائی اور سب سے بڑی برائی کو منتخب کرتے ہیں، وہ شر جس سے بڑا کوئی اور شر نہیں۔ سب سے بڑے شر, یعنی شرک, کا انتخاب کرتے ہیں۔

شرک کے برائی سے بچنا ہمیشہ تمام "مفادات" سے اہم ہوگا ۔ شیخ سلیمان ابن سحمان نے کہا:

‎إِذَا عَرَفْتَ أَنَّ التَّحَاكُمَ إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ كُفْرٌ، فَقَدْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ الْكُفْرَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ الْقَتْلِ، قَالَ: {وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ الْقَتْلِ}، وَقَالَ: {وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنْ الْقَتْلِ}، وَالْفِتْنَةُ: هِيَ الْكُفْرُ; فَلَوْ اقْتَتَلَتْ الْبَادِيَةُ وَالْحَاضِرَةُ، حَتَّى يَذْهَبُوا، لَكَانَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ أَنْ يَنْصِبُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ طَاغُوتًا، يَحْكُمُ بِخِلَافِ شَرِيعَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، الَّتِي بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بِهَا رَسُولَهُ ﷺ.

"اگر تم جانتے ہو کہ طاغوت سے فیصلہ لینا کفر ہے, تو اللہ تعالیٰ نے اپنی کتاب میں کہا ہے کہ کفر قتل سے بھی شدید ہے۔ فرمایا: {اور فتنہ قتل سے بھی زیادہ بڑی برائی ہے}، اور فرمایا: {اور فتنہ سخت تر ہے قتل سے}، اور فتنہ: کفر ہے؛ تو اگر شہر کے لوگ اور صحرائی لوگ آپس میں لڑیں جب تک کہ وہ سب ختم نہ ہو جائیں، تو یہ بہتر ہے، بجائے اس کے کہ زمین پر طاغوت مقرر کیا جائے، جو اسلامی شریعت کے علاوہ حکومت کرتا ہو جو اللہ نے اپنے رسول ﷺ پر نازل کی۔"

مسلمانوں کا شِعْب أبي طالب نامی وادی میں 3 سال تک بائیکاٹ کیا گیا، اور بعد میں وہ حبشہ کی طرف ہجرت کر گئے، صرف اس لیے کہ انہوں نے اپنی توحید میں سمجھوتہ کرنے سے انکار کیا، اور نہ ہی کسی کفر سے اتفاق کیا۔

یہ سب کہنے کے بعد, واحد عذرِ حقیقی جبر ہے (الإكراه الملجئ - ایک سخت مجبوری جو کسی کو بالکل مجبور اور بے بس کر دیتی ہے)۔ اور ووٹنگ کے تناظر میں یہ ایسا ہے جیسے اگر کسی کو بیلٹ تک گھسیٹا جائے اور کوئی اس کے سر پر بندوق رکھ کر دھمکی دے کہ اگر وہ ووٹ نہیں ڈالے گا تو اسے جان سے مار دیا جائے گا۔

واللہ اعلم ۔

لَمْ يَأْتِ رَجُلٌ قَطُّ بِمِثْلِ مَا جِئْتَ بِهِ إِلاَّ عُودِي

"No man ever came with something similar to what you have brought, except that he was treated with hostility."

— The wise words of Waraqa رضي الله عنه when he prepared the Messenger (ﷺ) for the heavy task of Prophethood and warned him of the expected tribulations that it came with.

The conversation that took place with Waraqa رضي الله عنه after the Messenger (ﷺ) first received revelation is a story we all know, that's been repeatedly relayed and taught to us since childhood. Yet how many lessons are contained within the incident that were not done justice nor perceived by most? One of the greatest lessons, often overshadowed by the heavier theme being established, takes place passively in the shadows of the room.

Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril (حفظه الله تعالى) points out this magnificent yet subtle lesson for our sisters folded within the story:

"And a final point pertaining to this is something more directed at women or sisters. And that is, the person listening in on this in the background was Khadījah. She رضي الله عنها knows now what's going to happen to her husband (ﷺ). This is the role model of all Muslim women — and men for that matter. We all look up to her for the various qualities of her life. Now did she say, “Oh this is going to get bumpy, and it's not what I envisioned in this marriage”? This is the time for her to pull out of the marriage. The perfect timing for her to say, “It's time for me to get out!” Did she ever say let me ask for my Talāq or my Khul’ because I'm not going to be able to handle this? That's not Khadījah رضي الله عنها. And that's why she ends up with the honor of being so beloved to the Messenger (ﷺ), and the honor of being among the best of all women, receiving a special Salām from Who? From Allāh, the Almighty. The Lord of the Universe sends a Salām to Khadījah رضي الله عنها, Jibrīl عليه السلام sends a special Salām to Khadījah رضي الله عنها, and along with that she gets the glad tiding of a palace in Jannah made of reeds, with no turbulence, no fatigue in it."

Upon seeing the intense love and regard Messenger (ﷺ) maintained for Khadījah رضي الله عنها years after her death, despite having married many other women, our Mother Ā'ishah رضي الله عنها was prompted to comment,

كَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا امْرَأَةٌ إِلاَّ خَدِيجَةُ‏.

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

It's not a matter of "first love" as many assume, but rather of the noble quality of fierce loyalty to Allāh and His Messenger (ﷺ) above all else, through thick and thin, hardship and ease.

Don’t take statements you make online (and in Da’wah generally) with ease, and never feel safe from being tested with them. Don’t take your words lightly, and don’t think you won’t be made to prove them. When you talk the talk, prepare to walk the walk.

You may preach about Fitnah one day, and be tested with it the next.

You may give a general advice, and wake up among its intended audience.

You may speak a word without giving it much thought, and then be given an immediate opportunity to prove yourself regarding it.

I speak from personal experience when I say that sometimes one is tested for YEARS with regards to a statement he may have made or a stance he may have taken. Sometimes one is tested AFTER years, for a statement he made years ago. Sometimes he’s tested literally the next day. Sometimes he faces the hardest trials in his life immediately after he had given advice regarding the very same trial (despite possibly never having experienced it before).

I swear by Allāh, sometimes I post general reminders and reflections on a matter not personally relevant to my life, and I go to sleep, only to wake up and see that Allāh has bought those matters before me and made them personally relevant now.

Not to be misunderstood, I’m not saying you will be immediately punished due to your statements, but rather that you will be given the chance to prove yourself regarding your speech, and it will often take you by surprise. So beware and don’t stumble or falter.

Always ask Allāh to make you a man true to your words, and to be given Tawfeeq to recognize your trials immediately so that you may succeed in navigating them in a manner that pleases Him. If we fail, then what an ultimate failure and what a shame that we couldn’t live up to our words. One fears upon himself to be included in the Āyah:

أَتَأْمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلْبِرِّ وَتَنسَوْنَ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَتْلُونَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ

“Do you order righteousness of the people and forget yourselves while you recite the Scripture? Then will you not reason?”

Update Camp Hol /29.01.2024

They opened fire on the sisters
Shot a 10 year old boy on the spot and injured alot of sisters and we still don't have the full updates.

The PKK hide this from the world and choose to only show what they want,making themselves the victim but in reality the sisters are.

Please remember them in your dua and at thahujud salah when the dua is the arrow of the night
May Allah help those inside and facilitate for them and aid them. May Allah shower them with sabr and keep them firm and facilitate a safe way out for them.
Its really hard to catch news at this stage.
The Kuffar can laugh now but Allah SWT promised us that the Muslimeen will be victories.
One day for them and one day for us.

Shaykh Mūsā Jibrīl (Shaykh Ahmad’s noble father) has been ill and in intense pain for most of the past month.

We request all the brothers and sisters to please keep him in your sincere Du’ās. May Allāh تعالى grant him a swift, complete recovery from his illness and make it a means of increasing his ranks. May Allāh preserve our beloved Imām upon goodness and grant him a long life full of good deeds.

Remember him and all the suffering, oppressed Muslims in your Du’ā in Sujūd during the last third of the night.

Our noble sisters and children in [Al Hol camp] and [Gaza] are like two eyes, when one eye tears the other follows suit. When either eye is sore the whole body aches. We are one Ummah, one body.

Don't be selective in what cause you stand for or raise awareness for when it's Muslims being massacred or oppressed.

Recently the PKK terrorists have intensified their campaign against our sisters and their children in the camps, opening fire on them and assaulting them.

During some difficult times they heard about a month ago, in spite of what they themselves are enduring in the camps, I received a long, heart-melting letter of support that I will never forget inshā’Allāh.

Yā Allāh defeat the PKK and those behind them, and anyone who harms our pearls and their cubs.

Yā Allāh keep our noble sisters and their children united, grant them patience and strength, and hasten their release in honor with firmness upon Tawheed.
