🔹The Distinguished Woman🔹

There was a female companion called ‘Amratu bint Rawāha, and she was the wife of the companion Bashīr bin Sa’d. He had married her when he already had children from a previous marriage. He had a son with her, Nu’mān bin Bashīr. Bashīr wanted to pay a compliment to his new wife by writing for their son Nu’mān a garden.

She said: “I shall not be pleased unless you call Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as witness to what you confer as a gift on your son.”

Nu’mān narrated: “So father took hold of my hand and I was at that time a boy, and came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said: “Allah's Messenger, the mother of this son (of mine), daughter of Rawāha wishes that I should call you witness to what I confer as a gift to her son.” Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Bashīr, have you any other son besides this (son of yours)?” He replied: “Yes." He (ﷺ) said: “Have you given gifts to all of them like this?” He said: “No.” Thereupon he (ﷺ) said: "Then call me not as witness, for I cannot be witness to an injustice.”

What was the reaction of this woman, when her husband made such an offer? Was she ecstatic that her husband preferred their son over his other children? Did she hastily accept it? No, by Allah, she held strong to her Taqwā, and preferred the gardens of paradise over the worldly garden he offered her son. She feared the day she would meet her Lord. The temptation was not enough to sway her into committing an injustice against the kids from her husband’s previous marriage. May Allah be pleased with her.

Take this woman as an example my sisters, strive to push your husbands towards uprightness and just actions always. Fear Allah in your marriage, your children, and your wealth.

How can an Ummah stand tall if the backbone is crooked?

TRANSCRIBED: 01 | INTRODUCTION | Explanation of Furū' Al-Fiqh | Shaykh Ahmad Musā Jibrīl (حفظه الله)

"The greatest way in which believer can achieve purity of deeds is by purity of his food, making sure that it be from lawful sources... eating what is unlawful corrupts one's deeds and prevents them from being accepted."

— Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (رحمه الله) [Jami' al-'Uloom wal Hikam]

قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ ٱللَّهُ مِنَ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ۞

"He said: Indeed, Allah only accepts from the pious" [Al Maa'idah]

"The Salaf used to fear for themselves from the implications of this verse, lest they are not among the pious people whose deeds are accepted by Allah The Almighty." [Jami' al-'Uloom wal Hikam]

SubhanAllah. By Allah, we have more right to fear than they did. Every aspect of our lives and deeds are riddled with sins and insincerity. If we truly pondered over this verse, every one of our deeds would be followed by anxiety and deep humility towards Allah. If Allah سبحانه وتعالى accepts even a mustard seed's worth of our deeds, we'd be fortunate beyond comprehension. May Allah forgive us and accept from us.

Don’t be a coward, stand up for your beliefs

“It is indeed ironic that at times we see those who do not believe in the Hereafter hold more heroic stands to what they believed in to the point where it became part of them like their flesh and blood, while those who claim for themselves a garden of heaven bigger than the sky and the earth cower and tremble away.

One must have resolve to what one believes in even if the pain and suffering reach their peak. One must have commitment to his belief even if those around him depart and abandon him. This is how one succeeds in the test, a similar test that Allāh (عز وجل) sent upon His messengers.”

— Shaykh Ahmad Jibril (حفظه الله)

Our plan is to use 2-3 small Muslim baking businesses, or any Muslim who's willing bake and help.
To bake cakes/cupcakes (yet to be decided) for the aseers families in Sydney.
You will not be out of pocket any money at all, I'll make sure of it inshAllaah. There's alot of Ajr to gain here so don't miss out!

We all have young children in our families and we all know that the smallest of things make children happy, this is our goal to put a smile on the face of the children and so that our brothers behind bars know that we haven't forgotten about them or their loved ones on the outside.

The stress that our brothers in prison go through isn't one we can begin to imagine, the stress of a father and husband serving time while he has young child/children and wife on the outside isn't one we can even begin to imagine.

The stress of a mother who's now raising a child or children alone due to her husband and the father being imprisoned isn't something anyone feels except her, these are sisters who are most likely abandoned by her own family and by her inlaws, not getting support she needs whether it be physically, financial or emotional support, that is all missing in her life.

So then what about the rewards we may gain from Allaah if we were to allow the imprisoned and the wife of the imprisoned to feel that they are apart of an Ummah who care about them, what about the rewards awaiting us in hereafter if we were to allow this sister to go a day without being stressed and worried over the situation that Allaah has placed this family in, imagine it is because of you, a child of a prisoner is smiling and happy or imagine his father and mother smiling and happy because you decided and went out your way to make it happen.

As I've always said, we always post and share about the Muslims overseas wishing we can give them a better life, yet we have Muslims down the road from us that if we were to focus on them we could give them a slightly less stressful life.

Isn't amazing how a simple nice gesture could put smiles upon many faces.

So please get the word out inshAllaah, and share this post. Anyone interested in helping in this cause please contact us.
May Allaah free all our brothers and sisters wherever they may be imprisoned. Aameen!

Side note. It's not just aseer family, we will also try to get to the needy and/or single mothers. But this can only happen with your help so please share share share!

The callers to falsehood are on the rise,
Everyone’s seeking the truth’s demise,
They preach an Islam I don’t recognize,
“Turn away from the Ummah’s suffering- just close your eyes”

Stand with the enemies and hold their hands,
Ignore the cries when they bomb our lands,
Betray those who migrated and obeyed His commands,
Hasten to carry out the enemy’s demands.
.
.

But — Tawheed remains and always withstands.
.
.

Greed for the Dunyah has reached its peak,
We’ve become cowards too afraid to stand and speak,
Undoubtedly, The Face of Allah we no longer seek,
Everyone’s concerned with their own group and clique.

The bombs are raining—they’re hitting deep,
I hear their cries in the nights— I cannot sleep,
A straying nation— as weak as sheep,
Oppression is darkness, yet not a peep.

Just take a step back and see what we’ve become,
Truth is now falsehood— except to some,
Those so called scholars are playing dumb,
Chanting fake slogans of “We Are One”...

السلام عليكم ورحمه الله وبركاته

To all the muwahideen brothers, how long will you be silent? Where is your jealousy for your sisters? They took the clothes of your sisters. They electrocuted them. Four men beat a sister alone. By Allah, we will stop you on the day of Judgement for your weakness. Meaning, wheres your gheerah? Why does a kurdi hold ur sister and remove her veil? Each time she is held, she yells hesbi Allah to every Muslim male with no jealousy that is afraid of dying. We are dying for the sake of Allah every minute. Our children are electrocuted. What are you waiting for?! Kill us and our children. It is easier for us to die than to live with the torment we are living. I am unable to sleep out of fear that they will come to us at night and disgrace us. What will you say to Allah about them dishonoring us. The women of the brothers who are in prison. What will you say to Allah?! Fear Allah with us!!!

May Allaah guide all of us who have the means and ability to help them (in whatever way), yet continue ignore their cries and pleas for assistance. May He shower us with the correct understanding and remove the diseases infecting our hearts. May He forgive us for our cowardice and stinginess. Keep the sisters, their husbands, and their kids in your Dua'a.

As the saying goes, “The father brings the Deen to the doorstep of the home, and the mother is the one who takes it inside.”

We’ve seen it both ways: where a man is religious, but his wife not so much—in this case the children are almost always ruined, except those whom Allāh has mercy upon. And we’ve seen when the woman is religious, but her husband is not— in this case, there is more hope, but the chances of the children being misguided are still far too high for anyone to risk. When children are given a choice between a parent who is restrictive (setting the boundaries of Islām in the household) and a parent who is permissive and lenient in these boundaries, they will naturally lean towards the easy going and permissive parent in most cases, especially in their teen years, when the childhood adoration for the other parent begins to fade and they start to see them as a nuisance instead, and the Shaytān begins to push them towards temptation.

How many examples we have seen of fathers who command their daughters to dress modestly, avoid free mixing strictly, and other Islāmic obligations but the mother is unreligious, so she helps her daughters to do Harām behind his back and encourages them to it, and then covers for them while lying to her husband about their activities. This is very common unfortunately.

May Allah grant all the brothers and sisters righteous spouses and offspring.

Character Assassination in Dawah

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) was accused of being a man of fitnah who divided families by separating sons from their fathers and wives from their husbands. He was accused of being one who performs black magic, of being a mentally ill person, a liar and a man who is after wealth and prestige. Likewise, his wife was also accused of committing adultery (Allah forbid).

One must observe that the Quraysh neither accused the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) of attempting to spread Islam, nor did they accuse him of trying to bring justice or even give the weak their rights. Instead, they accused him of actions by which they believed people would deem atrocious and evil.

Even though the accusations against him were the very same actions he preached against, they continued to harass him with character assassinations as soon as they became aware that people began following his message and were becoming Muslims.

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), who is considered the best man to walk the face of earth, and the best man after the messengers, Abu Bakr, became wanted fugitives with a 200 camel bounty reward for them (equivalent to millions of dollars today). Their shelter was a mere cave!!

Those who made these accusations toward him are the true enemies of Allah (عز و جل), and they still exist today.

Reflect upon the history of all famous reputable scholars of the past and present, whose names we echo daily such as the four Imams, those before them and those after them like Imam Bukhari and Ibn Taymiyyah. They were all tortured, imprisoned and accused with falsity. Allah (عز وجل) made out of them legends whose names will be heard and supplicated for until the Day of Judgment because they endured their trials with patience and steadfastness to the truth.

It is the sunnah of Allah (عز وجل) that those He honored with carrying His message to humanity were and will be the most tested. They are the ones who flee the most from being suspicious, from indulging in doubtful matters, and prevent making accusations. However, since time immemorial they are the ones most accused and suspected.

— Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril حفظه الله

At the age of 80 Imam Ahmad lowered his daily rakaat from 300 to 150! We find it burdensome to do 12 a day to get a palace in Jannah.

Today many cannot even fathom the worship of the Salaf due to idleness & sins that eradicated the blessings from the lives.

Shaykh Ahmad Jibril حفظه الله

Mujahid (رحمه الله) said:

"No people ever sat in a meeting and left before remembering Allah, without a putrid, rotting smell; and their meeting will bear witness to their heedlessness. Likewise no people ever sat in a meeting and remembered Allah before they left, without leaving perfumed in fragrance, sweeter than the smell of musk; and their meeting will bear witness to their mindfulness."

[Jaami' al-'Uloom wal Hikam]
