Never let anyone hold you down….
(Brothers edition)
There definitely is rightous brothers married to wicked women
This is not new, even some Prophets were married to wicked women,
Take Prophet(as), some angels came down in the form of handsome young men, Lut (عليه السلام), fearing that they will be abused if they were spotted, rushed out to meet them and invited them to his house as his guests.
Only his household was aware, but from his household his wife leaked out the information, Allah (ﷻ) mentions this incident in the Quran in Surah Hud:
“And when Our messengers came to Lut [Lot], he was anxious for them, feeling powerless to protect them, and said, ‘This is truly terrible day’.” [11:77]
Lut (عليه السلام) barricaded himself behind the closed door but when he found the task of holding them back formidable, he said,
“If only I had the strength to stop you or could rely on strong support!” [11:80]
Now let us go to another Prophet Nuh(as), a righteous man married to a wicked woman, with all the proofs and dawah presented by her husband Nuh(as) she still refused, denied, disobeyed and was one of the disbelievers, both stories can be summed up in the ayaah of Allah mentioned in Surah At-Tahrim:
“Allah has given examples of disbelievers: the wives of Nuh [Noah] and Lut [Lot] who married two of Our righteous servants, but betrayed them. Their husbands could not help them against God: it was said,’Both of you enter the Fire with the others.” [66:10]
My dear brother sometimes we need to make hard decisions, especially when there is children involved, but we need to save ourselves first then our families
Don’t let the love of an individual lead you astray, lead you to compromise and ultimately lead you to the Hell-fire
Allah says:
“There are men who take others besides Allah as equal with Him. They love them as much as they should love Allah. But the believers have more love for Allah.” [Al-Baqara:165]
My dear brothers this is not a ticket to cut and run, but rather a warning that there may come a time when you need to cut those who do not make the cut, but before that TRY, but don’t fall, be on guard
Abu Saed Al Kudri narrated from the Messenger(saw), “…..A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” (Bukhari)

FOR BROTHERS
Brother trust me you need to know this.
THE PRAYER IS A PROOF
Anyone who examines the texts of the Qur’aan and Sunnah will see that they indicate that the one who neglects the prayer is guilty of Kufr Akbar (major kufr) which puts him beyond the pale of Islam.
“But if they repent [by rejecting Shirk (polytheism) and accept Islamic Monotheism], perform As-Salaat (Iqaamat-as-Salaat) and give Zakaat, then they are your brethren in religion.” [al-Tawbah 9:11]
The evidence derived from this aayah is that Allaah defined three things that the Mushrikeen have to do in order to eliminate the differences between them us: they should repent from shirk, they should perform prayer, and they should pay zakaah.
If they repent from shirk but they do not perform the prayer or pay zakaah, then they are not our brethren in faith;
if they perform the prayer but do not pay zakaah, then they are not our brethren in faith.
Brotherhood in religion cannot be effaced except when a person goes out of the religion completely; it cannot be effaced by fisq (immoral conduct) or lesser types of kufr.
And from the Sunnah,
It was narrated that Buraydah ibn al-Husayb (may Allaah be pleased with him) said:
“I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: ‘The covenant that distinguishes between us and them is the prayer, and whoever neglects it has disbelieved (become a kaafir).’
So it is clear that the person who neglects the prayer with no excuse is a kaafir who is beyond the pale of Islam, on the basis of this evidence.
This is the correct view according to Imaam Ahmad, and it is one of the two opinions narrated from al-Shaafa’i, as was mentioned by Ibn Katheer in his tafseer of the aayah (interpretation of the meaning):
“Then, there has succeeded them a posterity who have given up As-Salaat (the prayers) [i.e. made their Salaat (prayers) to be lost, either by not offering them or by not offering them perfectly or by not offering them in their proper fixed times] and have followed lusts” [Maryam 19:59]
So my dear brother and sister, do not leave off the PRAYER!
BATTLE OF HEARTS AND MINDS
May Allah (swt) have mercy on all those who have gone forth to give Victory to #ISLAM from the time of the Prophet (saw) till the day of judgement
Victory for this deen needs those committed to patience, knowing they will face hardship, trials, slander and animosity,
The battle is not limited to the battlefield, weapons are not limited to the sword
In our time there is a battle of hearts and minds, a battle of ideas that must be challenged and fought
Muslims must actively call out the Kuffar, Hypocrites, sell-outs and Innovators with a weapon we all carry with us everyday
Our tongues!!!
Everyone must make an effort to enjoin the good and forbid the evil, this is our characteristic if we leave it off we will forfeit the title ‘the best of nations’
May Allah (swt) aid and reward all those brothers and sisters pushing out the correct Dawah may Allah accept from us all. Ameen

SHAYTAAN IS YOUR ENEMY
Although Allah (swt) clearly states
“….and follow not the footsteps of Shaytan (Satan). Verily, he is to you an open enemy.” (Q2:168)
How many people are still fooled
Shaytaans plans are long term, he plots big, one of these traps is even using Halal for Halal, how?
He will draw you from a deed that is large in reward to that which is lessor in reward
The wiswas….
“There is no good in Muslim countries, don’t migrate in Allahs way, stay in the west and give Dawah….”
Slowly he attempts to attract you to a good with the hope of taking your future generations…..
The wiswas….
“Niqab is scaring the people, how will you give dawah?”
The sister takes off the Niqab to not ‘scare off potential Muslims” the hope here, she will later remove the Hijab….
And his favourite,
The wiswas….
“Your a better Muslim without her/him, look how much you take care of your kids alone, get divorced”
A year passes, no authority figure in the home, no university for the children
The family breaks, breaks the community, breaks the Ummah
All because of following the footsteps of Shaytaan, even though Shaytaan seems far out of sight

Crying is not a sign of truthfulness
When the brothers of Yusuf (as) threw him in the well they went back to their father crying
“And they came to their father at night, weeping”(12:16)
Even though they had done an evil, they covered that evil with a good story, lied, cried and pronounced innocent, not everyone that cries is telling the truth
It is from the justice of al-islam that both sides to any story are heard, a person would be unfair to hear one side of a claim and not the other, this was a tough lesson taught even to the Prophet Dawoud (as)
The summary of Dawouds (as) story is he is presented with 2 men who enter his home uninvited, one presents his side of the case, Dawoud rules on it without hearing the other side,
“(Dawoud) said, “He has certainly wronged you in demanding your ewe [in addition] to his ewes. And indeed, many associates oppress one another, except for those who believe and do righteous deeds – and few are they.” (38:24)
the 2 men disappear, Dawoud realised this was a test
“And Daud became certain that We had tried him, and he asked forgiveness of his Lord and fell down bowing [in prostration] and turned in repentance [to Allah]. So We forgave him that; and indeed, for him is nearness to Us and a good place of return” (38:25)
The lesson for us is, don’t pass judgement with out hearing both sides of a story, in case you unjustly give a verdict that you may regret later
Umm Salama, the wife of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), reported that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) heard the clamour of contenders at the door of his apartment. He went to them, and said:
“I am a human being and the claimants bring to me (the dispute) and perhaps some of them are more eloquent than the others. I judge him to be on the right, and thus decide in his favcur. So he whom I, by my judgment, (give the undue share) out of the right of a Muslim,. I give him a portion of Fire; he may burden himself with it or abandon it” (muslim)
