O keyboard warriors! The loyal mujahideen, the lions of the field, endured countless sacrifices, faced immense hardships, and put forth endless efforts in the path of Allah to reach this stage. Do you even know what they went through for Allah to grant them this victory?
Now, despite having no share in this victory, you sit comfortably in your places without ever disrupting your ease, arrogantly offering advice and criticizing the mujahideen on matters of governance. If you couldn’t be of any help to them, at least remain silent now and spare them from the harm of your tongue.
These brothers of yours have put forth the most valuable thing they possess—their very lives—in the cause of Allah. Have some husnu dhan about them and be patient. Remember, they are not fighting for your approval but for the pleasure of their Lord.
Keep these two from Ibn ʿAṭāʾillah handy* for the next time you feel alienated or in the dumps:
• مَتى أَوْحَشَكَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ يُريدُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ لَكَ بابَ الأُنْسِ بِه.
• متى أطْلَقَ لسانَكَ بالطَّلبِ؛ فاعْلَمْ أنَّه يُريدُ أنْ يُعطيَكَ.
• When He makes you feel lonely among His creation, know that He wants to open the door of intimacy with Him for you.
• When He frees your tongue to ask, know that He wants to give to you.
* Better yet: Hang them on the wall or make them your device’s wallpaper.

The growing pressure (& its publication) signifies a shift in political dynamics
You @jordanbpeterson are a weak and unprincipled man. You will be remembered as an apartheid apologist and facilitator of oppression.

A beautiful recitation by the young Saudi Qari' Sheikh Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Such a contemplative and patient voice Allahuma baarik
"A believing man from Pharaoh’s folk who had concealed his faith said, “Do you kill a man for saying, ‘My Lord is Allah,’..."

I was talking to one of the young Muslims about the importance of having religion (#Islam) at the center of everything because it's the only way to salvation in this lost world, then someone sent me this video ⬇️of the French ...
Someone asked Mawlānā Ashraf 'Alī Thānawī, "If Allāh already knows what we need & want, what's the point of asking?"
He replied, "The point of du'ā isn't to inform Him of what He already knows. It's to show Him how much you see Him as Master & yourself His slave."
