A racist man in Finland filmed himself following an elderly Somali woman on the street while verbally harassing and insulting her on camera.
Like many of these bullies, they deliberately target those they perceive as vulnerable and alone.
Incidents like those seen in Ireland are a reminder that this kind of harassment can happen anywhere.
Muslim men should learn self-defense, stay physically fit, and remain attentive to the safety of their elders, children, and the women in their families whenever they are out in public.

Share it and benefit others with it.
The one who guides others to goodness receives a reward like the one who performs it. Perhaps an eye will read it, and it may become for you a continuous charity and an unceasing reward.
There is nothing standing between you and a good, happy, secure life except a sincere repentance, a prostration in which you humble yourself before your Creator, supplicating to Him and begging Him for pardon, forgiveness, and guidance.
This doesn't mean that you'll never face trials and afflictions.
Rather, a good life means the ultimate bliss and tranquility of the heart through the love of its Creator and contentment with Him, even if you are in the midst of the most severe constriction and hardship.
In this state, you continuously luxuriate in the sweetness of Iman, swim in the light of guidance, and take cool shelter in the closeness of the Master, Almighty and Majestic.
Conversely, a life of sins and distance from الله Almighty is the absolute essence of torment, even if you are living in the most sprawling, luxurious ease.
Even if you are given every single thing you desire in this world, and even if all its glittering doors are swung wide open for you, you'll permanently find your soul in a non-stop torment that never leaves you and a suffocating constriction that is never lifted from you.
This is why you constantly find the person in this state living their life in a perpetual mode of fleeing, yet they are running from nothing except their own self.
If they had only fled to their Lord, they would've survived, their affairs would've been completely rectified, and the crushing tightness of chest and continuous fear, which is divinely written for everyone who turns away from الله Almighty, would've instantly vanished.
By الله, my brothers, accomplish whatever you want to accomplish, experience every single thing, travel every open path, and possess the dunya with everything inside it, but by الله, your life will never settle, your heart will never rest, and your soul will never find bliss except in that which you were originally created for: the servitude to الله Almighty alone, and dedicating your entire life exclusively to Him.
Whoever makes that devotion their singular concern and ultimate goal will find the absolute best of living in this world, swim in its true paradise, and attain the finest, most beautiful, and sweetest thing it has to offer.
Even if the entire population of the earth gathered together to violently rip that internal bliss away from him, they could never take it.
We ask الله to provide us with the bliss of both this world and the Hereafter, and to guide our souls and our hearts to pasture joyfully in the ultimate pleasure of closeness to Him, Glory be to Him.
@IsmailKamdar@RealHasanSpiker Two simple Hadith that fundamental to understanding the Deen regarding Haram and Halal as well a THRID category. DOUBTFUL Matters
•“Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt. Verily, truth brings peace of mind and falsehood sows doubt.”
Abu Hurairah رضي الله عنه said:
“My friend (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things and I shall not leave them till I die, these are: To fast three days every month, to offer the Duha prayer, and to offer witr before sleeping.”
[Sahih Bukhari: 1178]
@hashimiyy_ That Hadith is authentic & key to understanding the deen. What is mentioned by the shaykh doesn’t point to being overburden or making the deen difficult. It’s simple taqwa which is following the commands and keeping away from the prohibition. We shouldn’t engage in them
Hence the Dua of Shiekh Muhammad Ibn Abdulwahab in his book
“May Allah make you someone if they are given (blessings) is grateful, when tested they are patient and when the sin the seek forgiveness”
Those are 4 keys to happiness May Allah grant us those quality’s
Umar bin alKhattāb رضي الله عنه said:
❝Verily a man leaves his home+ upon him from sins is that which resembles the Mountains of Tihāmah but then he hears [Islamic] knowledge, becomes fearful, turns back [away from sinning]+ repents such that [when] he returns to his home there
I am sick and tired of these modern water-downers who have systematically dismantled the Deen of Islam, stripping it of its firmest handholds, its core foundation, and its absolute greatest, most paramount pillar.
This man arrogantly claims, "I've never heard an imam or a Muslim say that in my entire life."
If thats actually true, then the deep shame and deficiency lie within you and the specific compromised imams and 'Muslims' you choose to listen to, because not a single one of them is speaking the truth.
By الله, if you actually read the Quran, pondered its meanings, and looked at the Tafsir, the truth would be blindingly clear to you.
But you only love whatever bends to accommodate your own desires and whims.
I'll leave just one single verse here along with its commentary from the master of all commentators, Imam al-Tabari (may الله have mercy on him), even though the verses on this topic are endless.
If people actually read, I would list them all, but a fair person who is sincerely seeking the truth will find one single verse more than enough.
Concerning the statement of the Exalted: {O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not fail to corrupt you. They wish for that which distresses you.}
Imam al-Tabari explains: He means by this, O you who have believed in الله and His Messenger and affirmed what your Prophet brought: do not take as allies and friends those outside of your own people, meaning outside of the people of your own Deen and your own faith community, which means anyone other than the believers.
The word "bitanah" (intimate/inner circle) was used as a metaphor for a man's closest confidant, comparing him to the inner lining of a garment that touches the skin, because he is privy to his deepest secrets that are hidden even from distant people and close relatives.
Thus, الله strictly forbade the believers from taking the kuffar as close, intimate friends, and then He exposed the hidden deception, treachery, and malice they harbor in their hearts against the Muslims, warning the believers against mixing with them intimately.
The Ahadith on this are also incredibly vast and explicit.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Do not initiate the greeting of peace to the Jews or the Christians, and if you meet one of them on a path, force them to its narrowest part." (Recorded by Muslim).
And he ﷺ said: "I am entirely free and disassociated from any Muslim who chooses to reside permanently among the polytheists." (Recorded by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi).
Warning against mixing with them in companionship and love, he ﷺ said: "Do not keep companionship except with a believer, and let no one eat your food except one who fears الله." (Recorded by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi).
Look at the Sahabah. Abu Musa al-Ash’ari once hired a Christian man to act as his financial scribe.
Umar ibn al-Khattab was highly impressed by the sheer quality of the handwriting and said:
"Read the letter of your scribe out loud to us."
Abu Musa replied: "He cannot enter the masjid."
Umar asked in surprise: "Is he ritually impure (Junub)?"
Abu Musa replied: "No, he is a Christian."
Upon hearing this, Umar severely rebuked him, struck him on the thigh, and declared with absolute firmness:
"Do not bring them close when الله has cast them far, do not honor them when الله has humiliated them, and do not trust them when الله has deemed them untrustworthy." In another narration, Umar flatly told him: "Consider that the Christian has died, and that is the end of the matter" meaning, act as if he does not exist and immediately replace him with a Muslim.
The point of proof here is that this Christian scribe was a peaceful citizen (Dhimmi) living under Muslim governance, not a combatant in a war, yet Umar ibn al-Khattab violently denounced taking him as an advisor or a keeper of Muslim secrets.
The evidences on this topic are far too many to count, and this used to be among the most obvious, fundamental realities of Islam.
But because the mere claimants to Islam have multiplied, and the misguiding, deceptive callers who water down the Deen have flooded the scenes, the clearest landmarks of Islam and its strongest bonds have become completely hidden from those who lazily ascribe themselves to this faith.
They have turned Islam into a joke, a customized religion that accommodates every corrupt desire, seeking to please the polytheist, the disbeliever, and the open sinner.
May the curse of الله be upon every single person who deceives the people regarding the Deen, speaks about الله without knowledge, and arrogantly lies against الله the Almighty.
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:
“The heart is opened by avoiding excessive looking, talking, listening, mixing with the people, eating, and sleeping. These excesses cloud and restrict the heart; rather, most of the punishments in this life and the next come from them. How constricted are the hearts of the people who indulge in all of them!?.”
