🔊 Patience Upon The Pre-Decree That Causes Distress.
🎙️ Sh Abu Khadeejah ‘Abdul Wāḥid (حفظه الله) @AbuKhadeejahSP | @AstonMasjid
📝 – {No calamity befalls, but with the Leave [i.e. decision and Qadar (Divine Preordainments)] of Allah, and whosoever believes in Allah, He guides his heart [to the true Faith with certainty, i.e. what has befallen him was already written for him by Allah from the Qadar (Divine Preordainments)], and Allah is the All-Knower of everything} [Surah At-Taghabun (64): 11]
– The believer knows that the calamity is from Allah and He guides his heart.
– The two types of people that have traits of kufr.
– Ahadīth showing how Allah trials a person and hastens the punishment in this world instead of punishment in the hereafter.
– Greatness of reward is in accordance to the greatness of trial.
– Having patience in Allah’s decree is a sign of a person having iman in Allah.
– Decrees are divided into two categories.
– {No calamity befalls on the earth or in yourselves but is inscribed in the Book of Decrees (Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz), before We bring it into existence. Verily, that is easy for Allāh} [Surah Al-Hadid (57):22]
– The statement of the believer during calamities: All praise is due to Allah in every condition.
– Ahādith showing when the decrees were written and the correct understanding of decrees.
– The believer is pleased with the decree of Allah, even if it is painful.
– The calamities that are due to our own disobedience – major sins and the continuous minor sins.
– How we can wipe out the major sins and minor sins.
– Types of Major sins.
– Not permissible to use pre-decree as an excuse for sinning – rather we are commanded to worship and obey Allah.
– Be patient upon the calamities that occur due to pre-decree.
– Repent to Allah due to calamities that occur due to your disobedience and sin.
– Being patient upon the loss of a child and the rewards that will be received.

🇸🇦 May Allāh aid Saudi Arabia (the Land of Tawhīd) against the Rāfidī Houthīs of Yemen:
The eminent scholar, the Muftī of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Shaikh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān (may Allāh preserve him), stated:
“As for the believers, they never despair of receiving relief from Allāh, no matter how great the distress and hardship that befalls them. This is because of their knowledge of Allāh, the Mighty and Majestic, and of His Names and Attributes, and their knowledge that His relief is near and that His mercy is close to His servants.
Therefore, they do not despair of relief from Allāh, no matter how severe the calamities that befall them or how constricted their circumstances become. Rather, the more severe the affliction, the greater their hope in Allāh.”
📕 From "Iʿānat al-Mustafīd bi-Sharḥ Kitāb at-Tawḥīd", p. 428.

Scholars Continue Their Dawah Even When Their Gatherings Are Small: Do Not Be Deceived by Numbers
Imam al-Awzaʿi said:
“At the time of his death, ʿAtaʾ ibn Abi Rabah was the most beloved person on earth to the people, yet only eight or nine people would attend his gatherings.”
(Siyar A‘lam al-Nubala 5/84)
Notes:
1) ʿAtaʾ was one of the greatest scholars of the Tabiʿin and a reference point for the Muslims, to the extent that the rulers would have a caller announce during Hajj: “No one is to give fatwa to the people except ʿAtaʾ ibn Abi Rabah.”
2) This narration shows that this is not a new problem. Although people may love and respect scholars, seek their fatwas and advice, few actually sit with them and learn from them. The same was true of the gatherings of Ibn Baz, Ibn ʿUthaymin and al-Albani, as mentioned by their students. Despite some large gatherings, most were attended by only a few people.

Some Observations.
Yet another ignorant, foolish extremist Khārijī becomes a convenient tool for Islamophobes and racists. Another one who has been gro*med, prepared, and sent out to misrepresent Islam and malign its true and noble message.
This ignoramus has clearly never studied Islam, nor has he sat with the Muslim scholars to learn about Islam, its creed, values, laws, and ethics. His rhetoric is deliberately volatile and hostile. He is not a caller to the religion of Allāh, nor a caller to the Path and Methodology of the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) and his Companions.
The Prophet (ﷺ) described his ilk in his saying:
“There will arise at the end of the time a people who will be young in age and foolish in thought. They will speak as if their words are the best among people. They will recite the Qur’ān, but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will pass through the religion just as an arrow goes through its prey…” (Muslim, no. 1066)
So this man is a trial for the people and for the Muslims in particular. He conducts an interview in Britain whilst wearing military fatigues and a red scarf that is supposed to identify him as a Muslim from the Middle East. He then proceeds to speak about Islam, the Islamic faith and Islamic law as though he is a religious authority, a jurist or a scholar of the Prophetic tradition, yet he is among the most ignorant and foul-mouthed of people.
Any Muslim who has studied the Qur’ān and Sunnah (the Prophetic Tradition) upon the understanding of the righteous predecessors knows that he is a charlatan, a pretender, and an agitator seeking to cause hatred and commotion.
He is a barrier to the true message of Islam, which begins with the call to pure monotheism (Tawḥīd): the sole worship of the Lord and Creator of the universe—and He is Allāh, the one true God worshipped by Ādam, Nūḥ, Ibrāhīm, Mūsā, ʿĪsā and Muḥammad (the praise of Allāh and His peace be upon them all)—and to abandon all forms of polytheism and superstitious practices, and to follow the teachings of the Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ) faithfully, including his noble manners.
This ignoramus brings to mind the saying of the Prophet (ﷺ):
“There will come upon the people years of treachery, wherein the liar will be believed, and the truthful will be called a liar; the treacherous will be regarded as trustworthy, and the trustworthy will be regarded as treacherous—and the Ruwaibidah will speak.” It was said: “Who are the Ruwaibidah?” He replied: “An insignificant and lowly person who speaks concerning the affairs of the general people.” (Ibn Mājah, no. 4036, graded ṣaḥīḥ by al-Albānī.)
In another narration, the Prophet (ﷺ) replied: “The fool who speaks concerning the affairs of the general people.” (Musnad Aḥmad, no. 7912.)
Shaykh al-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah (died 728 AH) said concerning the Khawārij:
“They are more harmful to the Muslims than highway robbers because highway robbers only want wealth; if it were given to them, they would not fight. Furthermore, they attack only some of the people [not all of them]. As for these [Khawārij], they fought the people on account of religion, seeking to make them abandon that which was established by the Qur’ān, the Sunnah and the consensus of the Companions, in favour of what they had innovated through their false interpretation and corrupt understanding of the Qur’ān.
They are more harmful to the Muslims than others; for there was none who was more harmful to the Muslims than them—not the Jews nor the Christians. They exerted themselves in killing every Muslim who did not agree with them, deeming the blood and wealth of the Muslims lawful, killing their children, and declaring them to be unbelievers. They regarded these actions as part of their religion, due to the enormity of their ignorance and their misguided innovation.” (Minhāj al-Sunnah, 5/243–248)
So, Muslims and non-Muslims should never be deceived by the likes of these convenient fools, who are sent forth to ignite fitnah and discord within societies and communities.
Abu Khadeejah ‘Abdul-Wāhid.

IMPORTANT LECTURE FOR THE YOUTH & FAMILIES
❝ Guarding Our Salah in Times of Fitan ❞
By Ustadh Abu Ināyah Seif (Hafidhahullah)
@Oxford_Dawah
By Allah, we need this reminder!
The Salah! ..A pillar of our Deen, the first thing we will be asked about on Yawm al-Qiyamah, and the difference between kufr and imaan.
Yet many of us are falling short - delaying Fajr, missing ‘Asr because of work/college, and letting the gym, shopping, social media and business become an excuse to abandon the prayer.
Sadly, This is especially true for members of our families, our youth and our own children.
We see them struggling to pray on time.
As Muslims upon the Qur'an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf, we must set the standard HIGH. We are not like others - our honour is in our connection with Allah.
How did the Prophet ﷺ and the Sahaba guard their Salah even on the battlefield and while travelling? How do we wake for Fajr? How do we attain khushoo’? And what is the severe warning for the one who abandons it?
Allah says:
*{ مَا سَلَكَكُمْ فِي سَقَرَ _ قَالُوا لَمْ نَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ }*
“What put you into Saqar? They will say: We were not of those who used to pray.”[74:42-43]
Come and bring your sons, daughters, your youth, your families. Let us revive our love for Salah before it is too late.
⚠️ Please share and encourage others. This may be the reminder that brings a brother or sister back to their Salah...
This is one that simply cannot be missed!
If you are struggling or know someone who is in need of this advice… be sure to attend and bring them with you in-shā-Allāh!
بارك الله فيكم

Is refuting the People of Desires and Innovations, and those who openly commit sins, considered to be chasing the slips of the people and seeking to uncover faults and shortcomings of others?
