Islām is my whole identity. Islām is my culture. Islām is my tradition. Islām is my dressing. Islām is my behaviour. Islām is my personality.
وَاعْتَصِمُواْ بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ جَمِيعاً وَلاَ تَفَرَّقُواْ
And hold firmly to the rope of Allah all together and do not become divided
Unfortunately, this Yamal kid is an open fasiq parading his girlfriend. Nevertheless, he's still our Muslim brother and has the rights of a Muslim, but over-glorifying him sets a bad example for the youth.
Also, tying his football victories to the victory of Islam is superficial. He may lose tomorrow. By that same logic, a mushrik could say, 'Look, I invoked Jesus or Emom Ali and I won!' That proves nothing. Likewise, praying to God alone and then losing a match does not, by itself, prove or disprove anything.
The point is that Abrahamic monotheism, preserved today only in Islam, teaches that none deserves worship, that is, prayer, except Allah, whether one wins or loses. The Muslim who worships God alone and loses is still upon the truth, while the victorious mushrik who invoked his favourite saint or anyone else besides God is still upon falsehood.
Truth is not determined by who wins a football match.
Tawhid remains true whether the believer wins or loses.
Ibn Taymiyyah on the rafidah
Imam Shaykh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The Jews and Christians are superior to the Rafidah in two ways: - The Jews were asked, "Who are the best people of your religion?"
They said, "The companions of Moses."
- The Christians were asked, "Who are the best people of your religion?"
They said, "The disciples of Isa."
- The Rafidah were asked, "Who are the worst people of your religion?"
They said, "The companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Effect of Private Sins
It is reported from Sayyidunā Abū al-Dardāʾ رضي الله تعالى عنه that he said:
"A person should beware lest the hearts of the believers come to hate him without him realizing it."
Then he said: "Do you know what that means?"
I replied: "No."
He said:
Ibn Taymiyah رحمه الله wrote,
“I have never seen anything which nourishes the intellect and soul, preserves the body, and ensures happiness more than consistently reading from Allah's Book.”

Be the "boring" muslim no one notices
Sleep early, wake up before fajr, pray some night prayers, pray with the muslims in the masjid, recite quran till sunrise,
Open up Riyadh Salihin or Tafsir as-Sa'di and go through lectures with it,
No need to fill your head with noise.
Even a disbeliever can recognize the justice and greatness of Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA), yet there are people who shamelessly revile him.
May Allah’s curse be upon those who revile Umar (RA) or any of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
In Sha Allāh his hisaab is with Allāh for all of the accusations and blasphemy he did against Kaatibul Wahī, Khaalul Mu’mineen, Ameer Muawiyah رضي الله عنه
Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilaihi Raji’un.
The @Muslim_ITCell is deeply saddened to share that great Indian islamic scholar Hazrat Maulana Salman Sahab Nadvi has passed away.
A towering scholar, gentle guide, and devoted servant of Islam has returned to his Creator(Allah). His knowledge and legacy will continue to inspire the Ummah for years to come.
May Allah forgive him, grant him the highest ranks in Jannah, and bless his family with sabr. Ameen.
One of the martyrs of Karbala was the son of Imam Hussain (RA), Ali Al-Akbar (RA). Ali Al-Akbar’s mother, Laylah bint Abi Murrah, was the granddaughter of Abu Sufyan. Imam Hussain married Laylah right after his brother, Imam Hassan, made peace with Muaweyah (uncle of Laylah) and as a sign of improving relations between the 2 families. Context such as this is very important to learn if you want to truly understand history.
