🎯A message to the servile scholars and those who have betrayed the covenant of knowledge: "Whoever criticizes the believers for their sins while turning a blind eye to the disbelief and hypocrisy of the disbelievers and hypocrites—perhaps even praising and venerating them—is among the most ignorant and unjust of people, if his ignorance and injustice do not eventually lead him to disbelief and hypocrisy." (Ibn Taymiyyah, Minhaj al-Sunnah al-Nabawiyyah, 4/373-374)

It's frightening how days go by so fast! The one who should be most fearful among us is the one who doesn’t preoccupy himself with acts of obedience, out of sincerity to Allah, [wishfully] hoping to be rectified one day (ie. amend his state and become upright). However, death may overtake him before this day. "Vying for increase [in worldly gains] distracts you ﴾1﴿ Until you visit the graves (i.e. till you die) ﴾2﴿" (Quran translated meanings 102:1-2) Do you want vigilance and tenderness in your heart? Look at what is happening to your afflicted brothers and sisters in Islam, not for the sake of upsetting yourself, rather to know that there is no room for negligence. Rectify and amend yourself so that Allah may bestow his mercy on you and your Ummah.

Sykes and Picot: "These are the borders for each country's citizens. Enjoy your country and don't worry about what happens beyond your boarders." Mahir Algazi's father: "My son's blood isn't more important than that of Gazans." He utters the truth, as Allah says what can be translated as, "This community of yours is one, and I am your Lord: be mindful of Me." And His prophet, Peace and Blessings be upon him, said: "Muslims' blood is all equal, and they are all like one hand against their enemy."

Cowardly occupation gangs intentionally try to prevent any opportunity that lifts Muslims' morale. After the Karama operation by Mahir Algazi, may Allah accept him, these gangs committed the Khan Yunis massacre with MK84 missiles provided by the US, murdering civilians in their sleep; oppressed Muslim women, children, youngsters, ill and elderly in immigration camps. You will not dull our joy for what happened to you days ago, you scoundrels, but merely add to it hatred boiling in the hearts. We ask Allah to heal our hearts from you and pave ways for us to aid our oppressed brothers and sisters.

O Allah, accept Your servant Maher Al Huwaitat among the martyrs, reward him greatly on behalf of the Muslims, raise his rank to the highest levels, protect his family, and bring forth others like him from this Ummah. {...That is because whenever they suffer from thirst, fatigue, or hunger in the cause of Allah; or tread on a territory, enraging the disbelievers; or inflict any loss on an enemy—it is written to their credit as a good deed. Surely Allah never discounts the reward of the good-doers.} (Qur'an translated meanings 9:120)

Dr. Osama Al-Muhtasib from Jerusalem sent me this message, asking me to share it to raise awareness. The wicked people are spreading these symbols among our children, causing them to develop an emotional attachment to these symbols. Over time, they become desensitized to these malicious symbols and lose their natural aversion to them once they discover their true meanings. Toy sellers, school supplies vendors, and children's clothing sellers should be mindful of this, as should parents and educators. Here's his message: "It has become increasingly evident that specific characters and symbols are being prominently featured on products aimed at children, particularly the 'Unicorn,' the mythical horse with a horn, which is now widely seen on many items designed for young girls. It's everywhere—on clothes, pants, dresses, school bags, notebooks, and toys. During my time in Canada, one of the doctors who was part of the fellowship program's coordination team and was, herself, a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She lived with another woman, whom she referred to as her wife, and they had two children, conceived through an unknown sperm donor, each of them carried and gave birth to one child and called this a "family" This doctor gave a lecture at one of Canada’s leading emergency medicine conferences, wherein she addressed topics relating to gender identity, homosexuality, and surgeries associated with gender transition. What drew my attention during her presentation was that the unicorn symbol was present on all her PowerPoint slides, which led me to look further into it. Upon searching on Google, I found the following: 'What does the unicorn symbol represent for women?' The unicorn symbolizes imagination, individuality, fun, and playfulness. It is linked to the LGBTQ+ community and symbolizes pride in one’s "gender identity". When used on dating websites, it refers to a woman who participates in a polyamorous relationship with a couple.' Also: ‘In the LGBTQ+ context, a unicorn often refers to a woman who is attracted to both sexes and typically seeks multiple partners and joins a married couple in a shared sexual relationship.' 2. On WikiHow: 'What does it mean if someone is called a unicorn? Being someone's unicorn means you're the third person in a relationship with a couple.' I didn't finish the lecture and immediately called my wife. At the time, our three-and-a-half-year-old daughter had a small bag, pants, and a toy with a unicorn on it. I told her to throw them all in the trash, which she did. Since then, I have informed close family members of this issue, but this issue goes beyond just informing our close ones. It has permeated the lives of Muslim girls and demands a wider platform to address it and spread the word to as many people as possible. The matter is grievous, as it propagates symbols of immorality and indecency among Muslim girls. Something that no one with faith and honor would ever accept. They aim to exploit and objectify our daughters to satisfy their depraved desires. They want our women to become licentious and promiscuous, aligned with their corruption, deviance, and opposition to Fitrah (natural disposition), modesty, and virtue!" They disseminate these logos and slogans and spread them like wildfire among us, and they end up being in almost every home, making the issue harder to remedy! If we are not the shield that safeguards our daughters, then who is?

The  Prophet ﷺ said: "Modesty and Iman are inseparable; if one disappears the other one follows." (Authenticated by Al-Albani). This highlights how grave it is when Muslim men and women lose their modesty—first from their hearts, then through their actions and appearance. If modesty is lost, Iman is lost along with it.

Sayyid Qutb, may Allah have mercy on him and grant him His blessings, had a profound impact on me. He taught me to deeply revere Allah and His Sharia, and inspired in me a deep love for the Quran. I ask Allah to unite us, along with our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, in the Gardens of Eden. I first learned about him when a relative, who had practically left Islam, returned with a newfound deep reverence for the religion after reading Sayyid Qutb’s "In the Shade of the Quran," which sparked my curiosity. Upon reading Sayyid's works, I discovered insights that were unlike anything I had encountered in the writings of other authors or commentators. I know that he, may Allah have mercy on him, had his mistakes, but I think well of my Lord, the Almighty, who knows the corruptor from the amender, and I hope from Him to forgive Sayyid and elevate his rank. We do not care about the opinions of those who do not understand Sayyid’s true impact or the good he did—people who focus on his mistakes and ignore the huge positive impact he left behind. As Brother Wael Al-Batiri said: "If all Ustadh Sayyid Qutb (may Allah have mercy on him) had no merit other than highlighting the importance of Hakimiyyah (Allah's Exclusive Right to Legislate) and giving it its due place in the Islamic belief system and legislation, that would have been enough. But he gave even more—his very life—ascending as a steadfast martyr (as we reckon him) firm and unwavering." It was this cause, for which Sayyid Qutb sacrificed his life, that provoked the wrath of the regimes, driving them to wage war against him. They recruited religious 'figures' to smear his name, falsely accusing him of labeling the masses as disbelievers—a claim of which he is completely innocent. 🔸One might wonder: do these regimes, which are so vehemently opposed to Sayyid Qutb, even care whether their people are Muslims or not, to make such an accusation?! Or is their true concern ensuring that the people keep their heads down, remain preoccupied with making a lining, and dutifully pay all the taxes and fees imposed on them, rather than demanding their rights and the implementation of Allah’s rule? Essentially, the martyr Sayyid Qutb brought people face-to-face with a harsh reality they needed to fully understand: the divine Sharia revealed by Allah has been removed from their lives, and replaced by man-made laws, far from the light of divine guidance. As a result, life has become corrupted, and humanity has failed in its true mission—to worship Allah alone, submit to His Sharia, and rid itself of all forms of polytheism. This "Qutbian" effort worried the tyrants, who understood the threat this "truth" posed to the gains they reap by staying in power, the elites who keep flattering them with submissive praise, and the passive, obedient masses! For this reason—and this reason alone—they wage war against him! May Allah's mercy be upon you, Sayyid, and may we be reunited with you in Paradise. On the 58th anniversary of his martyrdom.

⭕️ Brothers and sisters, sometimes when we do something to support Allah Almighty's religion, we might get the feeling that we are accomplishing a great deed that no one else in our neighborhood, workplace, or land is doing. So we might think that our sins will never lead us astray, and that we will never be stripped out of the role we are playing, or even die until we complete this mission. Because this means depriving the people of the good we are spreading. In summary: To feel that people are in need of us, even more, that Islam itself needs us! This feeling is positive and commendable only to the extent that motivates and pushes us to bear the responsibility so we don’t immerse ourselves in this worldly life and abandon our role in Dawah that benefits humanity. ‘You have been set to be a part of a great cause... So be wary of living like the heedless’ But sometimes, this feeling could become dangerous. If it causes us to slack in obeying Allah Almighty’s commands, or belittle our sins; or become confident that Allah won't punish us for this by making our hearts veer away or prevent us from continuing the good we are doing. Because we perceive ourselves as the means through which Allah benefits his creation and guides them, so if we become astray then so will the people. Hence comes the divine clarification that Allah the Exalted isn't in need of anyone. Rather, it's we who need to support His religion; "If you should turn away [from the call of duty and belief], He will replace you with some other folk who then will not be like you at all" (Qur'an Translated Meanings 47:38). Meaning; He will replace you with some other people that will not ignore Allah’s duty and commands. As simple as that. This divine clarification is directed, in the first place, to the companions of the prophet ﷺ, who bore the Message of Islam, and without whom Islam could have been lost, as it might seem to us. However, Allah Almighty tells them: "If you should turn away [from the call of duty and belief], He will replace you with some other folk who then will not be like you at all". (Qur'an Translated Meaning 47:38). Rather, even Muhammad ﷺ; the most beloved to Allah of all mankind was told by Allah, the Exalted: “Had We not given you stability, you were about to incline towards them a little. Then We would have made you taste double in life and double at death, then you would have found for yourself no supporter against Us.” (Qur'an Translated Meaning 17:74-75) I knew some people whom I thought Allah will not take their souls before they accomplish their tasks. Yet they died at a young age and Allah appointed others to serve His religion. In the hadith which Al-Albani graded as 'Hasan', Our prophet ﷺ said: “Allah will continue to plant new people in this religion and use them in His obedience.” So, brothers and sisters, ask Allah to utilize you in His obedience, for Allah the Almighty does not need anyone, but rather, it's we who are in need of Him, the Exalted; "O mankind, you are those in need of Allah, while Allah is the Free of need, the Praiseworthy. If He wills, He can do away with you and bring forth a new creation. And that is for Allah not difficult.” (Qur'an Translated Meaning 35:15-17) Islam will win with or without you. Allah will perfect His light, even to the dismay of the disbelievers. But it is you who is in need of supporting Allah's religion; that you may be saved and attain a lofty status. “If you should turn away [from the call of duty and belief], He will replace you with some other folk who then will not be like you at all" (Qur'an Translated Meaning 47:38) Peace be upon you!
