Shaykh Rabīʿ al-Madkhālī reflects on the position of the great imams, Ibn Taymiyyah and his student Ibn al-Qayyim (raḥimahumā Allāh), concerning the Muslim rulers.
Temporary Beauty, Permanent Bliss. Sisters, beautify yourself in a ḥalāl way, for your husband. Do not fall into the pop culture peer pressure to display your beauty in public. It will invite evil. It is sinful. Obey Allāh and seek permanent beauty and bliss in Paradise.

Very important point: As Muslims, we do not speak ill of or curse weather. It is from Allah’s creation, his decree. The water created from rain and snow gives sustenance to the earth which springs forth crop that feeds humans and animals. 16:65 And Allah
Learn to overlook your spouse’s mistakes. Advise them kindly and do not point out every mistake you see. Turn a blind eye to the small shortcomings of your partner.

The stupid person can never be a leader, but the leader is the one who pretends to be stupid
The blessing of the Muslim lands. One can walk to a masjid in minutes in any city. No drive-bys, no discarded needles, no rainbow painted pathways or blue-haired unicorns. Safety, securely, tranquility. The virtues of Islam.

A great portion of knowledge has been taken from us today. If you want to know how knowledge disappears, this is how.
May Allāh have mercy upon the noble Scholar Shaykh Sālih al-Luhaydān and enter him into paradise.
A sad day for the people of Sunnah.
The Prophet ﷺ was called a liar, insane, fortune teller, poet, magician, troubled, fabricator and more.
He ﷺ said: Does it not surprise you how Allāh protects me from the revilement and cursing of the Quraysh? They revile “Mudhammam”and curse “Mudhammam” while I am Muhammad
Five Types of Martyrdom!
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: The martyrs are five:
1- One who dies of plague
2- One who dies of stomach illness
3- One who dies of drowning
4- One who dies under debris*
5- One who dies in the path of Allāh

Alhamdulillah the mother of one of our sisters embraced Islam at 60 years old!!
After 15 years of encouragement and Dawah, Allāh opened her heart to Islam.
Be patient when giving Dawah to your family members. Always pray for their guidance
May Allāh keep our sister firm upon
Back in the day, this was a daily routine: grabbing the latest pdf, a good cup of tea, and a quiet corner to sit in. Lots of notes and bright highlights. Then, discussions with others about what we learnt. Brothers and sisters, rapid tap-tap scrolling won’t get you this.

Ibn al-Jawzī:
This worldly life is like your shadow, if you walk away, it will follow you, but if you try to chase it, it will always run away from you.
For this, Allāh ordered this Dunya to serve those who serve Him, and to enslave those who serve it.
25 years ago, we sent an email to Shaykh
@abukhadeejahsp
requesting cassettes to help build our library and da’wah. He kindly sent us almost 200 cassettes to get us going, a few from Canada made their way into the

Imām Ibn al-Qayyim:
Whoever does not punish their shaytān in this world by way of the remembrance of Allāh, Tawhīd, seeking His forgiveness and obeying Him, then his shaytān will punish him with the punishment of the hellfire.
Either you punish your shaytān, or he punishes you.
May Allah reward Shaykh Abu Talhah (rahimahullah). He was a pioneer of the Salafi da’wah in the West. His translations were amongst the first to reach us in the 90s. His works live on today.
Many households, despite being united under one roof today, will be divided by Paradise and Hellfire tomorrow.
Just like the wives of Prophet’s Nūh and Lūt who betrayed their husbands.
Just like the husband of Asiyyah, Fir’awn.
Just like the uncle of the Prophet ﷺ, Abū Tālib.
Alhamdulilāh - Today after Jum’ah prayer a 25 year, former catholic, woman embraced Islām at the Masjid.
She has been learning about Islām for some weeks and has even memorized Sūrah al-Fātihah by heart before accepting Islām.
May Allāh keep her steadfast upon the religion.
If only you recite al-Fatihah on yourself as a remedy with the same certainty you have when you swallow that pain-killer! Instantly & subconsciously believing it has taken affect as soon as you swallow it or perhaps 5 mins later.
Have that mentality with Fatihah, you will see.
May Allāh have mercy on Salih - 19 years old, who passed away today. His father is the Khateeb of Chaguanas Masjid in Trinidad W.I.
May Allāh grant ease to the family during these difficult times and reward them for their patience.

Masjid al-Furqān at TROID was a full house tonight الحمد لله
No hype, no hoopla, no hot-takes, just Quran and Sunnah with the understanding of the Salaf.

Do you find yourself obsessed with the world? Career, house, car, holidays - weeks, month, years passing in a blip. In an instance, often unexpected, it'll end. What are you building for the afterlife? It's time to balance your time and your focus in shāʾ Allāh.

“Whoever finds an error in my books, articles or website, should send it to this email...
I request from my brothers—the students of knowledge—to inform me (of any errors) during my lifetime, and to correct it after my death.”
Alhamdulilāh, we’ve had 5 brothers embrace Islam this month due to Allāh having favoured them with guidance to the truth, and then through the noble efforts of our dedicated brothers.
May Allāh keep the new Muslims steadfast and aid us in continuing to spread the Dawah.

Holding Grudges in Islām
Allāh mentions: Let them pardon and forgive. Do you not love that Allāh should forgive you? [Al-Nūr, 22]
Imām Ahmad ibn Hanbal stated:
Forgive your brother! What will it benefit you that Allāh punishes your brother because of you?
Loving the Righteous
Look to the wisdom of the Salaf, seek out the best of the people and be with them, or at least love them.

15 years ago, a 5 year old girl made a flowery poster for Masjid al-Furqān (at TROID) encouraging everyone to keep the masjid clean. Today, she is making flowery cards about good manners with narrations from the Salaf.
Moral: Keep your children around the masjid, for life.
Some of the youth at TROID had to privilege of meeting Shaykh ʿAbd al-Razzāq al-ʿAbbād at his masjid yesterday. The shaykh gifted them some books and dates. The blessed live of the young student of knowledge. May Allāh reward the shaykh for his kindness and courteousness.

Al-ʿAllāmah Ṣālīḥ ibn al-Fawzān
All praise is due to Allāh, and Ṣalāt and salām upon our Prophet Muḥammad, his family, and his companions.
My view with regards to the Muslim
Brothers and sisters, be wary of social media accounts that position themselves with titles like: Middle Path Salafi or Balanced Manhaj. As if there is Salafiyyah and the middle path of Salafiyyah, the manhaj and the "balanced" manhaj. These slogans are often giveaways...
We’ve heard about this blessed centre
@Athariyyah
in London since the days Shaykh Hasan al-Sumali (
@hikmahpubs
) travelled weekly to it from Cardiff, Wales, about 20 years ago. May Allah bless it and increase the community in good. A pleasure to meet the brothers here tonight.
🆕 Relying on news media, financial pundits and others for guidance on how to handle inflation? Look to the Salaf's guidance on navigating uncertainty and trials. Understand divine decree, the effect of sins, and the importance of reliance on Allāh.
We send our deepest condolences to the relatives and community of the Muslim family who were tragically killed in London, Ontario, in what authorties believe was a premaditated act of hate.
What was their crime? Being Muslim?
May Allāh have mercy upon them.
Yahyá b. Ma’īn stated:
I have never seen the likes of Ahmad b. Hanbal, we accompanied him for 50 years and he never once prided himself on anything, rather, he use to say:
• We are a poor people. Had it not been for the covering of Allāh, we would have been exposed.

, a woman yelled out, “السلام عليكم, I’m going to take my Shahadah soon, pray for me”. A true sign of prosperity and grass roots da’wah in the vicinity of Germantown. We ask Allah to guide her to Islam.
🆕 Should Muslims adopt the vain fad of taking selfies when making Ḥajj, ʿUmrah or doing other acts of worship? Is this showing off? Al-ʿAllāmah ʿAbdullāh al-Bukhārī comments.
Alhamdulillah we had a beautiful lunch after Jumuah with 4 brothers new to TROID. 1 was a Hindu and 3 were formerly Sikh. One took his shahadah at the masjid last week.
May Allāh have mercy upon the mountain of knowledge and insight, the worshipper, the scholar, our beloved teacher and father, al-‘Allāmah ‘Ubayd ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Sulaymān al-Jābirī.
Instrumental to our da’wah in Canada and the west. May Allāh pardon him and forgive him.
