Seek knowledge Sisters! It is the only way!
Bismillaah,
Imam ibn Katheer(rahimahullah) says regarding Allah's statement in Surah al Mujadilah:
[يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـتٍ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ]
(Allah will exalt in degrees those of you who believe, and those who have been granted knowledge. And Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do.)
meaning, do not think that if one of you makes room for his brother, or rises up when he is commanded to do so, that this will diminish his right or honor. Rather, this will increase his virtue and status with Allah, and Allah the Exalted will never make his good deed be lost. To the contrary, He will reward him for it in this life and the Hereafter. Surely, he who humbles himself by and before the command of his Lord, then Allah will elevate his status and make him known by his good behavior.
Allah also says, [وَقُل رَّبِّ زِدْنِى عِلْماً]
and say: "My Lord! Increase me in knowledge.'' (Surah Taha:114)
meaning, Give me more knowledge from You.
Sufyan Ibn `Uyaynah said, The Prophet did not cease increasing (in knowledge) until Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, took him (i.e. he died).
Imam Ahmad recorded that`Umar appointed Abu At-Tufayl to be the governor of Makkah. `Umar asked him, "Whom did you appoint as your deputy for the valley people (that is, Makkah).'' `Amir said, "I appointed Ibn Abza, one of our freed slaves, as my deputy.'' `Umar said, "You made a freed slave their governor in your absence'?!' He said, "O Leader of the faithful! He has memorized Allah's Book and has knowledge of regulations of inheritance, along with being a proficient judge.''
`Umar said, "Surely, your Prophet has said,
«إِنَّ اللهَ يَرْفَعُ بِهذَا الْكِتَابِ قَوْمًا وَيَضَعُ بِهِ آخَرِين»
meaning: Indeed Allah raises a people with this book(the Quran) and humiliates with it others.
There are many evidences from the Quran and Sunnah on the virtues of knowledge and seeking it.
In an authentic hadeeth, the prophet(sala Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Knowledge is mandatory on every muslim. (Sunan an-Nasai)
Knowledge is for the Muslim-man or woman. In these times, where ignorance is widespread and rampant, it is only fair to say that it is indeed waajib upon us to go back to learning our Deen. We chose to come to migrate to non-Muslim lands(Darul Kufr), many of the Muslims have gotten married and settled down. We decided to have children and raise them in this kind of environment. There is no doubt that it is indeed a great fitna to raise righteous muslims in a society that not only rejects Islam but promotes indecency, disbelief, and all sorts of filth.
So after all this, we are still sitting back from teaching our children Islam?! How can we teach them Islam if we ourselves, the mothers are not learning the deen or practicing Islam(in many cases)?! Sisters, we are to produce the next generation of Muslims! Are we ready for this and are we responsible enough?
O mother, O sister in Islam, in what situation do you want to meet Allah? In what situation do you want to leave your children in this dunyaa? Do you want to leave them and they dont know how to pray properly? Do you want to leave them and they cant even recite one ayah from the Quran properly? Do you want to leave them and they dont wear correct hijaab(if they have passed puberty)? Do you want to leave them knowing they are not attached to the masajid-the places of knowledge and eemaan? Think about it. You will be questioned and held accountable for leaving them in this state. Understand that you are responsible for your family sisters!
Allahs tells us to protect ourselves and our families from the Hellfire. Therefore, it is no joking matter.
With knowledge, the Muslim woman attains so much.
She plays a major role in the victory of the Ummah.
So let us make sure we-the women of this ummah are practicing Islam, learning what Allah has made obligatory on us to learn so that we can worshipAllah the right way and to instill in our children the love of Allah and His Rasul and the love for knowledge and its people.
Dear akhawaat, victory doesn't come by itself, it is sought and earned!
A wise person once said,
"the one who reclines on the wisaada(pillow) will never reach the saada(leadership, high state)."
Imam ibn Katheer(rahimahullah) says regarding Allah's statement in Surah al Mujadilah:
[يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ مِنكُمْ وَالَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْعِلْمَ دَرَجَـتٍ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌ]

REPOST: Another Eid...
Another Eid and my Ummah continues to bleed.
And a part of us neglect our obedience to Allah and do not even pray.
O Allah forgive my people for they do not know.
We go on living our life of enjoyment and do not take any heed.
Did not the cries of the children reach you?
Did not the bombing of the houses and masaajid give you any clue?
Or did you just choose to ignore that and think "oh well there's nothing I can do"?
Woe to my ummah! They continue in their slumber and have not yet awakened.
They are not awakened by the news of their brothers and sisters in the dark prisons of the enemies.
They are not awakened by the sounds of bullets and bombs and the sight of the killed
No! Instead they continue in their darkness of ignorance and do not wonder about the blood spilled.
If only they knew! If only they knew!
If only they knew! If only they knew!
Instead, a part of them is awakened by the sound of music and continue to disobey their Lord day and night.
Are these the people who will give victory to this Deen? When will they use their heart and sight!
Until when? Until when O Ummah of Muhammad!
How can you not be shakened by the news of the day?
The enemies of Allah attack us from everything we do to everything we say.
They want a fake Islaam, an Islaam that continues to let the Muslims slumber and snooze.
They do not want us to win, but want us to lose.
They have indeed waged war on this mighty Deen.
They have indeed waged war on this mighty Deen.
Where are you O Muslim?Have you not heard of this or even seen?
The time to wake up and change is now!
And a part of us neglect our obedience to Allah and do not even pray.
And after all this, we wonder when will the victory come? "When? Enough!" we say.
Just look around you and you will see why.
The majority of us have the mentality of "Me,Myself and I"
A lie and deception the shaytaan used against you O servant!
And you continue to fall in his traps and serve him!
This life is a responsibility and you will be questioned so prepare an answer to Allah!
A life of humiliation and ignorance is not worth it at all.
We will soon be called to account by the Almighty and on that day there will appear a wall-
A wall that will separate between those who lived their lives for Ar-Rahmaan
and those who fell for the shaytaan.
O Ummah! The time is indeed now and only now.
Our sins are the reasons for our defeat and humiliation.
Our sins are the reasons for our defeat and humiliation.
How can we continue to live under this oppression?
We once ruled this Earth with Tawheed and justice and walked with honor and such dignity.
What happened to the people of allegiance(alwalaa) and enmity(albaraa)?
We once ruled this Earth with Tawheed and justice and walked with honor and such dignity.
What happened to the people of allegiance(alwalaa) and enmity(albaraa)?
We left the haqq and oppressed ourselves and so we sunk further into the ocean of defeat.
What happened to those who stood at the borders and looked forward to the day the armies meet?
What happened to the true scholars of La ilaha illa Allah?
Those who stood up for the Deen of Allah?
By Allah, if we did not oppress ourselves , we would have had the upper hand.
What happened to those who stood at the borders and looked forward to the day the armies meet?
What happened to the true scholars of La ilaha illa Allah?
Those who stood up for the Deen of Allah?
By Allah, if we did not oppress ourselves , we would have had the upper hand.
The takbeers of the Mu'mineen would have shaken every land!
Turn to Allah O Muslimeen and get up on your feet!
Answer the call of Allah and fear the Fire and its heat.
Paradise awaits you if you obey and are patient. Remember it is the only way.
There isn't anything left to waste. No minute, no day.
O Allah forgive my people for they do not know.

Love and Mercy
🌹وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة🌹
"A man can be from the East and his wife from the West yet you will find love between them, this is a sign from the signs of Allāh."

The worst kind of Khabeeth!
🔥The worst kind of khabeeth🔥
It is reported that the taabiee Ayyub al Sakhtiyaanee said,
There is no khabeeth(filthy and corrupt individual) more filthy than a corrupt qaari(scholar, reciter of Quraan, haafiz, etc).
📚Al Zuhd by Abi Haatim al Raazi
📌The corrupt scholar is very dangerous to the Muslim Ummah.
📌The importance of acting on the Quraan rather than just memorizing it.
📌It is very important to learn the meaning of the Quran!
📌One who memorizes the Quran and then commits sins like zina, smoking, drinking khamr, drug abuse, music and watching haraam is WORSE than one who didnt memorize Quraan and does those things!
☝️☝️May Allah swt make us from those who follow the Quraan and Sunnah until we meet Him. May Allah protect us and guide us.

Umar's Duaa
🍃The Duaa of Umar🍃
Umar ibn al-Khattaab radiAllahu anhu said:
“O Allaah, if You’ve written me down as being someone who is miserable, then erase that for me; and instead write me down as being happy. For indeed, You erase whatever You wish, and You write down and uphold whatever You wish.”
• [Ibn Taymiyyah’s Fatawa, v. 17, p. 275]
