@jakeshieldsajj@mohammed_hijab Delude their citizens into thinking that their votes and reforms actually impact change in their governments. You are allowed "freedom of speech" until you or your movement prove to be a big enough of a nuisance and then you are dealt with. However I do agree with you that-
The modern salafi movement, the modern sufi movement, and the traditionalist/madhabite/deobandi resurgence, all share a common toxic thread: political quietism.
Whatever other differences they have, they are all in sync that the political situation of the ummah should not be your primary concern. Political activism is not the priority, if not totally undesirable. Your Islamic focus should be on yourself and your community. Khilafah is desirable, but out of our hands. Politics is part of Islam, but not core to it. We don't need khilafah to get into jannah. We should just live piously wherever we have religious freedom, raise our kids well, and establish Islam in our daily life.
It's an exact mirror situation of the Pharisees, who preached for Judaism to be established in everyday life, while ignoring the Roman taghuti occupation of Judea. Isa (AS) reportedly called them the blind leading the blind.
As more young people become more religious, they are typically going the salafi, sufi, or madhabite route. The end result is the same: someone who's Islamic sense of responsibility is disconnected from the core & ultimate Islamic mission of establishing Allah's law.
We must confront this toxic mindset of the islamosphere head on. We can't continue to allow those who represent Islam and are taken as Islamic authorities downplay khilafah with the usual excuses.
“I read every holy book and realised there is no wrong religion.”
You don’t have to be “Muslim Brotherhood” to know this statement is outright heresy.
It’s heresy according to Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
This is the UAE’s state-sanctioned “Islam.”
The wisdom of Solomon (A.S.) should resolve the occupation of Palestine. Two women arguing over who a baby belonged to, came to Solomon. He (allegedly) ruled that the baby should be cut in half and a half given to each women. One agreed, the other begged not to cut the baby. 1/
Sheikh Mohammed Hasan al-Dedew, visited the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus and delivered a short speech:
"In this mosque where we are standing, Mu'awiya (r.a.), the leader of the believers, prayed. Abu Dardo (r.a.) used to teach Muslims in this mosque. Many people who changed history came out of this mosque.
Musa ibn Nusayr, who conquered the Maghreb, Tariq ibn Ziyad, who conquered Andalusia, Abdu ibn Nadir, who conquered Libya, and Ibn Jabir, who conquered Africa, Algeria and Mauritania, came from here.
Islam reached these countries from #Syria.
Damascus was the capital of Islam. This city has a great past and history. But the days that are coming and we will see will be even greater.
Jesus (pbuh) will descend to the White Minaret in the east of Syria, kill the Antichrist, break the cross, and rule among people with justice.
The capital of Islam will be Damascus again for the second time."
Here are 𝟮𝟳 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝘄𝗮𝘀 from various scholars (which are usually not spread) on cases where unity & cooperation are essential.
For the 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 time, cooperating/uniting ≠ compromising what’s right & correcting what’s wrong, all hinging on pros & cons.
(1/27) What is the Muslim's stance on the multiplicity & differences of groups?
Ibn Uthaymeen:
(………The enemies of Islam whether those who outwardly appear as Muslims or those who are outwardly and inwardly opposed to it rejoice at this division. They fuel its flames and come to this group and that, saying: "This one has such and such flaws, and that one has such and such issues," showing enmity and hatred among these brothers who call to Allah.)
We must stand against the plots of those who oppose Allah & His Messenger and his religion. 𝗪𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆. In each country, leaders who have influence over their followers should meet, discuss the situation, & work towards a common goal, uniting everyone.
Even if the methods of calling to Allah differ, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁. What matters is that we remain united as brothers, united in the truth, and loving each other.”
(2/27) Shaykh Al-Albani said:
"𝗡𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗜𝘀𝗹𝗮𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺. In this situation, it is 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 for a concerned Muslim to start expressing his stance regarding some Islamic groups that either have a slight or significant deviation from Islam.
There is no need to get into these details as long as all Islamic groups are united against this fierce secular attack. At this point, it is not the time to vent the anger of the believers by saying: 'These are from the (good) Islamists, they are on the right path, and those have a slight deviation from the truth, while others have a significant deviation from the truth.' This is not the appropriate context. There are now two fronts: one Islamic that contains various groups, and another that consists of those who do not hold Islamic values. All of them are fronts against disbelief & misguidance; they all unite to fight Islam. Therefore, we should not demand that a lecturer/ Daiee to show us his precise and specific stance on all these Islamic groups. As the saying goes, 'For every occasion there is a saying."
(3/27) He was also asked:
𝗜𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘀𝗵'𝗮𝗿𝗶 '𝗔𝗾𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗵, with the justification that this difference in Aqidah does not lead to vice, 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗽𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗳𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗺𝘀.
Shaykh Al Albaani replies;
“If the cooperating with the likes of this man does not lead to cooperating with him in being negligent with his 'Aqidah, then this is from 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 without 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝘁..)
(4/27) Ibn Baz was asked about the Sudanese Islamic Front, which includes various movements such as activists, 𝗦𝘂𝗳𝗶𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗳𝗶𝘀.
“He was informed that it had engaged in political action & a broad confrontation against communists and secularists. He responded:
“The 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗺𝘀 in combating destructive ideologies, misleading calls, and activities of conversions/proselytisation communism, and permissiveness is one of the most important obligations and one of the greatest forms of jihad in the path of Allah, as Allah says: "cooperate in righteousness and piety, but do not cooperate in sin." He advised them to fear Allah, to purify their ranks from anything that contradicts the purified Sharia, to adhere to the law of Allah Almighty, and to remain steadfast on it.

The majority of “Islamic education,” as practiced today, is fundamentally based on a secular perspective of education.
Islamic education is often reduced to the narrow understanding of Sharia, excluding sciences, social sciences, and other specializations, leaving their content and the perspectives through which they are taught under secular control.

Following the Israeli massacre of over 210 Palestinians today in Nusseirat Refugee Camp, an elderly survivor said this live on Al-Jazeera:
“May God take revenge on you, Sissi
May God take revenge on you, Salman
May God take revenge on you, O King of Jordan.”

A Muslim man confronts the bully.
30 seconds later, bully’s on the floor sleeping.
Muslim puts him into recovery position, warned him when he woke up, and called an ambulance.
Are the soldiers in Muslim countries exempt in front of Allah for not helping their brothers and sisters in Gaza as they are just following orders?
Answer by Sheikh Muhammad Dedew al-Shanqiti
You must watch this!
If Khilafah-fardh downplayers argued everything as they do about Khilafah:
"Why this obsession with having doctors, hospitals & medicine? They were never perfect. Many people died despite existence of those things. Let's focus on perfecting our supplications for health instead"
