الحمد لله وكفى وسلام على عباده الذين اصطفى خصوصا على سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم
On this holy and sacred day, please do not forget to pray that Allāh open a door for the Ummah to come to the aid of the people of Ghazzah.
Whatever sin we committed that is blocking that, we repent from it.
If our leaders are incapable of understanding, Allāh Ta'ālā give them understanding or retire them and replace them with those who feel the pain of our brothers & sisters.
Allāh Ta'ālā destroy their antagonists, whether they be the fanatical soldiers that kill children, bomb hospitals, rape men and women and desecrate holy places, or the rabbis, priests and monks behind them that egg them on, or the old men of money & power that enable it, or those around the world who support or are happy for it, or the hypocrites who enjoy the veneer of Islam while supporting it inside, profiting off of it, so being indifferent.
Allāh Ta'ālā destroy them, their lies against Him and His prophets and His word.
He has no chosen people except those who fear Him alone.
He doesn't command to murder, theft or indecency.
He doesn't command to lying, fraud, exploitation or oppression.
He is Holy and commands to justice, Iḥsān and that you should be charitable to your kin.
Yā Allāh Ta'ālā you have already promised that Your victory and that of your messengers, عليهم السلام, will dominate.
I weep at Your threshold that You hasten your decree in favor of the children of the Ummah of Rasūlullāh ﷺ and against those who have such twisted hearts that they no longer have mercy for any living thing.
Yā Allāh, it poisons my morning & night to see it. You are the One who answers those at the end of their line when they cry out for help.
Answer me on this sacred day and show the believers the path to Your pleasure and that which will cool their hearts from Your help.
وصلى الله تعالى على رسوله سيدنا محمد وعلى اله وصحبه وسلم وآخر دعوانا أن الحمد لله ربّ العلمين.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO SECURE YOUR SACRIFICE
Today is the Mubārak Day of Tarwiyah and day after tomorrow is ʿĪd.
The properly given sacrifice is the most beloved deed of the holiest days of the year.
Don't slack on it, lest it slip through your fingers.
You will remember one day that are a slave of Allāh Ta'ālā and you only had one job.

Question: Is it true, as stated by Dr. Akram Nadawī, that abstaining from cutting or removing hair or nails for the person who wishes to offer a sacrifice for ʿĪd al-Aḍḥā, known in Arabic as the Uḍḥiyyah, is not recommended according to Mālik, and to abstain or not abstain from it is equal according to him? What does this mean practically for one following that school?

Some reminders & wisdoms:
• If you or your family’s breadwinner is doing udhiyyah, then it is recommended to not clip any hair or nails from the start of Dhul Hijjah (which could be tonight) until the slaughter is done. Thus, a good time to do those clippings is today.
• The udhiyyah acts as a cleansing of your sins and symbolizes your willingness to sacrifice. It is distinct from the pagan rituals of old as Allah ﷻ has no need of even one morsel of food coming from your sacrifice. Rather the entire act is for your own good and to strengthen your own taqwā’. Allah ﷻ says “Its meat or blood does not reach Allah but what does is your taqwā.” Surah Hajj 22:37
Dhul-Ḥijjah and the Agenda for Attainment
There's a great possibility that the moon will be cited for the sacred month of Dhul-Ḥijjah tomorrow evening, Tuesday the 27th of May.
Listen to a short reminder of the significance of this Mubārak month, as well as some practical reminders and resources for both of those who will be taking the sacred journey to the House of Allāh as well as those who will be observing at home.

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn: Impactful Charity & the Noble Intercession
When a person gives for the sake of the Lord, the charity has much more impact than its monetary value: when given with sincere intentions for the pleasure of the Lord, it can literally change people's lives.
In exploring a longer narration with regards to the Noble Station of the Greatest Intercession on the Day of Judgment, we recall the greatness of God's prophets and messengers, عليهم الصلاة والسلام, as well as mentioning some words of exoneration regarding a certain less understood aspects of their lives.
We discuss the rank of the noble companions, رضي الله عنهم, and the great love with which this Ummah will be treated on the Day of Fright and Calamities, while positioning the supreme rank amongst the creation of our prophet ﷺ, and one of the less discussed aspects of his relationship with us, especially in North America.
We also talk about certain verses from the Qaṣīdah Burdat al-Madīḥ of Būṣīrī that are oftentimes incompetently maligned by more obsessive groups, and explain why they are actually quite in line with Sunnī creed, which only becomes apparent, ironically, when a person studies Ḥadīth.

If you haven't made arrangements for your sacrifice yet, there is no better time than this Mubārak Jumu'ah.
The sacred first ten days of Dhul-Ḥijjah will start before next Friday, so lock in your commitments now for maximum reward.

I repost the most shocking of images.
For much of my life I would refrain from it, because I didn't want people to get used to seeing Muslims in this light, lest it make our enemies bold in order to do things like this to us.
The believer is honored in life and death, and we should not show one another in a bad state.
However, the thing I feared has come to pass, and now there's no profit or benefit in ignoring it.
The reason that I share these images, is that I try not to pass by them without praying for them: if they are in dire straits, I pray for God to save them from their difficulties. If they have left this world, I pray for the elevation of their rank.
And I pray for the object humiliation and destruction of those who antagonized them, and now also for those who were duty bound to come to their assistance, but quietly bided their time in other frivolity.
If you can't do anything else but pray, and you don't pray, you should fear that your name will be in the list with tyrants on the Day of Judgment.
Never abandoned prayer for them.
They disguise themselves as aid workers, doctors, nurses, journalists, businessmen &... women in Niqāb.
Tell me when it is time to dish it out like they are taking it, who will be able to say any of Israeli society can't be rightly suspected of being combatants?

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn: Rivers of Paradise & Blasts of Hell
What did it mean when the messenger of Allāh ﷺ said that the Euphrates, Nile, Amu & Syr rivers were from paradise?
How are we to interpret sacred texts that describe the order of creation in specific days, in a way that may not sit well with our observations and understandings at first glance?
The accusation is leveled against Khālid bin Walīd of cowardice because he seemingly retreated from the battlefield at Mu'tah; this accusation is bandied about by certain sectarian groups to this day. Is it founded? What is the basis of the accusation, and does it hold merit fully or partially?
When a learned and righteous ruler makes a judgment based on understanding, but that judgment may be different than that of other scholars, are we bound by it? What is our duty in such a case? Are we to resist at all costs? Are we to blindly obey? Or is there a third way in the middle?
What does it mean that fever is a blast from the hellfire?
We discussed this in many other things this week.

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn: The Well of Zamzam
This week we take a look at the story of the restoration of the Sacred Masjid, its holy surrounding precincts, and the miraculous inauguration of the well of Zamzam.
Far from being a formulaic recital of a mythological history, the story was one of human resolve, sincerity, sacrifice, and steadfastness in the face of overwhelming challenges, fears, and death itself.
This timely reminder comes in the sacred 10 Days of Dhul-Ḥijjah, at a time the entire Ummah is engaged in fasting and acts of worship.
It is appropriate that we remember the patriarchs that inaugurated those holy rites and their blessed families, as mercy descends upon every gathering in which the righteous are mentioned.

If you know someone going on Ḥajj this year, please make sure to share this playlist and ask them to do the same to their fellow pilgrims even if they are completely prepared.
The content is based on the Mālikī, mentioning dispensations of other schools appropriate at points where people may suffer undue hardship.
I guess you could opt not to do it, but why would you waste the opportunity of getting the reward someone else's Ḥajj?

Spoken like a Bollywood villain, a man who idolizes genocide & practices what he preaches, openly speaks those threats against Pakistan that he practices against his own people.
Far from any sort of competent diplomacy or statecraft, we see an idolatrous messianic zealot, who has decided his best friend in the world is zionism, and who occupies a Muslim population larger than that of any sovereign Muslim country.
Anyone who doesn't think this is their problem because they are not from Pakistan, doesn't understand how the world works.
This will catch up with Arabs, Somalis, Indonesians, Turks, and all of the Muslims wherever they are in the world.

Pakistan's youth will have to come to the front.

Yesterday two people were shot associated with the Israeli embassy in Washington DC.
Randy Fine, Florida representative and epic Zionist fat bastard immediately jumped to blame Muslims and called it an anti-Semitic attack.
Now that some facts have come out it turns out that both murder victims were christians, albeit rabif zionists, one of whom received a long tribute from none other than Mossad for his service to the devil in the form of the IDF.
I did not kill them. I did not participate their killing in any way shape or form, nor did any other Muslim as far as I can tell. The alleged killer is a leftist Latino from Chicago, and he alone is responsible for what he did.
That being said, I do not feel sorry for those were killed, especially given that the Twitter account of the man gun down contains daily cheerleading for genocide, baby killing in other types of bloodletting mischief in the world. I do not feel sorry for the Israeli embassy, or any supporter of Zionism or the Israeli occupation.
I extend no sympathies or condolences to them, and urge them to repent from their satanic bloodletting and baby killer ways, before a day comes in which they will have to stand in front of the Lord and account for their crimes.
My anger and annoyance is with anyone who extends sympathies to those who would bomb hospitals and kill children, even if a retired soldier and now paper pusher and a remote overseas outpost participating in that effort.
Anyone who thinks this is human decency or goodness to extend sympathy to a person who spent their life advocating the killing of babies, is completely deluded.
The weaponized misapplication of fake mercy by Christian civilization, has taught generations of people to feel sorry in bad for the oppressor and shed tears for the criminal, while turning a blind eye and a hard heart to those who are still currently suffering from their crimes.
I know which side I'm on.
You can choose whichever side you like, and abide by the consequences eternally.
(It has not escaped my curiosity that this shooting happened at a convenient time for Israeli propaganda, given that they were suffering a PR low that they haven't suffered for some time. How convenient as well, that the victims were Christians, the most expendable of staff according to the Talmudic apartheid hierarchy. Perhaps just a convenient coincidence for the embassy staff...).
Claire Shipman, who doesn't even have a phd, is the oligarchy's plastic face for rent placeholder in the presidency of Columbia University.
She was placed there in order to protect the advocacy and promotion of Gen O. Side, and rat out students who have any sort of soul or morality in order to deport, imprison & expel them.

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn: Connection With the Ummah
This week we start with touching story of Sayyidah 'Ā'ishah regarding the importance of not cutting people off completely & some practical aspects of keeping ties with others.
Then we take a powerful reminder about the last sermon given by the messenger of Allāh ﷺ in Madīnah, and some examination of history regarding groups who have not taken his advice seriously.
That, fasting, lizards and much more...

Khuṭbah: Planning for Dhul-Ḥijjah
By Allāh's grace we have reached this sacred month of Dhul-Qa'dah.
In a few days we will reach Dhul-Ḥijjah, the most sacred month of the year.
There is no month in which acts of ritual worship are more beloved to the Lord than this.
Learn of its blessings & virtues in order to plan.
Plan in order to achieve maximum benefit for an opportunity that does not come often.
The most beloved of deeds in this month is the immolation of sacrifices.

Gratitude to God For Delivering The Muslims From Destruction
(An excerpt from the end of last Sunday's lesson)
Words, prayers, and hearts of gratitude are in order and due to what could have been a very destructive conflict, that may have even straight into a nuclear holocaust, ended in a way that checked and aggressive advance by an enemy who primarily targeted civilians, places of worship, and regular people.
But instead of the chaos destruction they desired, they were thwarted and had to themselves come to the bargaining table in order to avoid further humiliation.
All good things can only be attained by the decree of the Lord. However, this was not a fluke or something that happened miraculously at the last minute, but a gift of the Lord that he gave to those who prepared to receive it.
How many of us fantasizing daydream about heroes, while living a life of a slob that neither prepares for victory nor plans for it or works for it?
We salute those unsung heroes who toiled in the quiet and darkness and obscurity, while others squawked and fought their economic, social, and political fights, so that their people could be under the wing of God's protection.
