6 years ago, On the 23rd of September 2015, our sister Hadeel Al-Hashlamoun from the city of Al-Khaleel, Palestine, was stopped by one of the Israeli checkpoints. When she refused to uncover her face except to a female soldier, the Jewish soldier shot her and left her to bleed for half an hour.


The Jewish soldiers prevented the Palestinian Red Crescent ambulance from reaching her until her pure soul departed her body.


O' Allah, accept her as a martyr, and curse her killers and those who empowered them on the lands of the Muslims.

“Noble honorable women in captivity would rather their hearts be lifted and snatched from their chests, than their Niqābs to be forcefully lifted off their faces. In Palestine, in Bilad Ash-Sham, in Iraq, those in the camps of the Chinese government, and elsewhere.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril

The Rusafa prison in Iraq

I would like to remind you not to forget the captured sisters in Iraq.
The prison in Iraq is a high-security prison surrounded by walls and barbed wires.These noble sisters have been imprisoned for years and some prisoners have already been sentenced to death and executed on the basis of confessions.
It also happened that due to the bad condition in prison, some children and several women have already died.
A trusted source said that some of the women were sexually abused after their capture and imprisonment by various forces in northern Iraq and Rusafa.

May Allah protect our sisters and ease their affairs.

#Iraq
#Rusafa

Man takes so much pride in his strength and youth, yet a single germ sent by Allah can land you on the bed or under the ground! Allah brings death even to the young and brings the strongest of men to their knees with means unable to be seen by the naked eye. The arrogance, then, of man in disobedience to his Lord is astounding. His own body doesn’t truly obey him, but it obeys the Lord who created it, and yet so often does man forget that he has a Lord who is Ever-Watchful and Powerful over him.

Last night in Hawl the kurds were patrolling the foreign section in a tank, as show of force, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah and after 9:30 pm they decided to blast music around the camp for about 15-20 minutes. Plus a lot of plane activity above us since yesterday, may Allah make their planes fall on their houses. Ameen.

Meanwhile in Ruj camp, sisters who were taken to prison more than 2 months ago have not yet returned while their children were left behind in the camp. May Allah free us all. Ameen.

We remind you all that this channel intends to raise awareness to the situation of the muslim prisoners in the camp and also to collect sadaqah for the sisters in need. We haven't received any message from people willing to help, even tho we have quite many followers, instead we have received messages from sisters within the camp asking us to help them. We are trying to do our best to help the ones who need, we ask Allah to provide for us all.

Please, donate and help the families in need. It's very frustrating to keeping writing the same thing over and over and feel like no one cares, that people don't feel the pain of their fellow sisters or are too busy with their lives to pay attention to us... where are the wealthy of this Ummah? Why are they keeping their wealth for while time is passing and life can end at any moment? If you are afraid of helping us, we do have safe ways to get it through.

Fear Allah and know your wealth, your wives, your children are nothing but fitnah for you. Help the muslims in need and Allah will help you and multiply your reward. Know that sadaqah doesn't decrease your wealth in any way, instead Allah puts barakah in it and increases.

Share our posts with those you trust and donate inshaAllah. Check the bio for more info on how to do it safely.

True Beauty Lies in Her Religious Commitment

“So many women now find the salaah such a heavy burden that when they are called by the caller to the truth to hurry to the salaah you see one of them standing around as if lead-footed and moving so lazily you would think the weight of the worlds mountains was upon her head! However if there is a wedding or a party or a gathering for tea you will find her rushing to it and getting ready in the best and most beautiful outfits. She longs for the get-together in which may indeed be surrounded by the shayateen and permeated with back-biting, gossip, and mangling peoples honor.

My sister, you will find most of the young women of Islam wasting their time on things that are of no benefit. You may find one of them spending hours before the mirror dolling herself up but if you watch her salaah she flies through it like the pecking of a crow! Does she not know that her beauty, magnificence, and happiness is not in her skin, appearance or hairstyle? By Allah, it is rather in her taqwaa, her righteousness, her eemaan, and preservation of her morality, deen and hayaa.”

[I Appeal To Your Sense Of Shame My Muslim Sister... Will You Not Respond? By Nawaal Bint Abdullah]

“His ‘aqeedah is not right? It’s okay he has good character. He has bad character? Nobody’s perfect you can change him. He doesn’t pray all the prayers? It’s okay he promised he would from now on.”

If the scholars issued stern warnings against marrying innovators, what becomes of those who marry their women to men whose 'aqeedah is questionable? Imam Malik (رحمه الله) said: “Do not marry a woman from among the innovators, or give your daughter in marriage to an innovator, or greet them with salam…” (al-Mudawwanah, 1/84).

Any marriage contract established with a man whose ‘aqeedah is faulty or questionable - is a means to fornication. For the contract of marriage is invalidated with the absence of Islam in a husband.

And in the Qur’an Allah says:
وَلَا تُنكِحُوا۟ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَتَّىٰ يُؤْمِنُوا۟ ۚ وَلَعَبْدٌ مُّؤْمِنٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن مُّشْرِكٍ وَلَوْ أَعْجَبَكُمْ
And give not (your daughters) in marriage to Al-Mushrikun till they believe (in Allah Alone) and verily, a believing slave is better than a (free) Mushrik (idolator, etc.), even though he pleases you. (2:221)

So:
You fear she is growing older? Her increasing age does not decrease her worth.
You fear she will not be taken care of after you die? Allah is her Provider, Protecter, and Sustainer.
You fear no one else will want to marry her, or what others will say if she remains unmarried? Her life is not constrained to her marital status.

This fear is the driving factor for the misguidance and disastrous marriages of many sisters. If only there was this much fear for her Akhirah.

If only they realized this man’s embellished speech and akhlaaq will do nothing for her akhirah - rather he will ensure her corruption and the corruption of her offspring, for women are weak and they are easily influenced by those who have power over them. Verily, the shepherds have neglected their duties and betrayed their flock. The magnitude of this betrayal is gravely understated, for when the woman is corrupted - so is her offspring (إلا من رحم الله).

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَخُونُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلرَّسُولَ وَتَخُونُوٓا۟ أَمَـٰنَـٰتِكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ
O you who believe! Betray not Allah and HIs Messenger, nor betray knowingly your Amanat (things entrusted to you, and all the duties which Allah has ordained for you). 8:27

Allah did not make men guardians of their women for them to only recite the Ayah,
ٱلرِّجَالُ قَوَّٰمُونَ عَلَى ٱلنِّسَآءِ
Men are the protectors and maintainers of women
- and do nothing to fulfill the ‘Amanah bound to this authority.

A guardian is put in charge of something to safeguard it and preserve its wellbeing. If the guardian of a woman does not ensure (to the best of their ability) the presence of Islam, good akhlaaq, and uprightness of the suitor he intends to hand her over to - then is this not a betrayal of the ‘Amanah Allah entrusted to him? Would he treat his wealth with such negligence?

Don’t blame your women for being ignorant of foundational matters of Islam, when you did nothing to teach them. Or for not knowing what to look for in a spouse, when you did nothing to teach her what a true Islamic marriage should be founded upon.

Sisters, do not grieve. Pray for the guidance of your guardians, and do your part in this process. If they have failed you then this is a test from Allah for you to solely rely upon Him. Remember: your goal in this life was not bound to marriage, it was to please Allah.

So:
🔷Rectify what is between you and Allah
🔷Fix your intention for marriage
🔷Understand both spouse’s rights in a marriage
🔷Prioritize piety as a main quality in a prospective spouse (after the confirmation that they are Muslim)
🔷Realize that if you desire someone who is pious, that you must be striving and working hard to attain piety as well.

🔷Don’t romanticize your expectations for marriage - as this has become the norm for many Muslim women. You can always compromise and sacrifice preferences in a spouse, but never compromise their religion and akhlaaq. Don’t expect marriage to be like the relationships portrayed in cartoon movies or kafir ideologies.
🔷Make your intention for marriage solely to draw nearer to Allah, and to raise a righteous offspring that will aid and uplift His religion. For Allah will send you a spouse according to your innate desire. And if that desire is purely for Allah’s sake - you will never be disappointed.
🔷Do not relinquish your right to gain Islamic knowledge because those responsible for teaching you did not do so. Have no one to teach you? It’s simple, fear Allah, and Allah will teach you - and facilitate a way out for you from every difficulty.
وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ ۖ وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ اللَّهُ
So be afraid of Allah; and Allah teaches you. 2:282
وَمَن يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجعَل لَهُ مَخرَجًا
And whosever fear Allah and keeps h is duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). 65:2

Sisters, your worth was never determined by your marital status, or by the amount of suitors that seek your hand, or by your beauty, age, wealth, race, or skin color. Your worth and luster is defined by your adherence to your religion - never forget that. So focus on pleasing Allah and leave His creation to say what they want.

Here, Shaykh Ahmad Jibril حفظه الله praises the sisters of Buraydah for their qualities of shyness and lowering their voices around non mahram men and not allowing themselves to be heard.

SubhanAllah, you would find that most people in the West and even back home would look at a woman like she's crazy if they see her knocking on a wall to alert her Mahrams to come take the food for the guests.

Many sisters on here, when they're advised to stop posting their voices online, they become so defensive and quick to label anyone who says such a thing as being extreme and making the Deen hard. Forget defending themselves, but even when they see other sisters who are shy to speak up around men, or who don't want to be heard by them without real reason, they're quick to criticize them, telling them that this is not part of the Deen and that they need to be "confident" and speak boldly, and that what they're doing is extremism in Hayaa that will harm them in life. Little do they know, our Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Shyness does not bring anything except good" and He (ﷺ) said "All of shyness is good." [Muslim].

What would these women know, when they possess nothing of modesty except that which is apparent in their clothing? Yet they criticize those sisters whose every limb is overwhelmed with shyness and their hearts are cloaked with it. If one doesn't possess a certain praiseworthy quality, the least they can do is abstain from criticizing those who have it.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin `Umar:

The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by a man who was admonishing his brother regarding Haya' (pious shyness from committing religious indiscretions) and was saying, "You are very shy, and I am afraid that might harm you." On that, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Leave him, for Haya' is (a part) of Faith." [Bukhari]
