Alhamdulillah, we've developed a Google Forms sign up form, that only lists the remaining lectures that don't have a transcription associated with them (Includes both individual and series lectures).
The Process comprises of 1) Selecting a lecture from the drop down menu, 2) listing a kunya, 3) commit to a date to complete the transcription by. Once you complete a submission, your selected lecture will automatically be removed from the pool of available lectures, so no two people will be working on the same lecture.

⚠️If you fail to complete the lectures by the date that you commit to, the lecture will be released back into the pool of available lectures for transcription.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via my bot: https://t.co/8ZLki2gBYB
As always, remember that this is an effort purely for the sake of Allah. Intend that your efforts will be used to a be a means of guidance for any and all those who seek it. Have ihsan in your transcription, as well as your graphical design of the PDF cover. You'd be surprised how much effect a beautiful design cover has on the allure of a PDF!
May Allah accept from all those who participate in this effort. Please share with all those who might be interested!
BarakaAllahu Feekum.

For the brothers who have been asking about the website: https://t.co/Z8X2zoNYwE, it experienced an EDoS (Economic Denial of Sustainability) attack.
As described by the developer who volunteers his time for the sake of Allah:
Essentially, fake bots were used with the “name tag” of tursted link-preview bots like Facebook and Telegram. Our old setup trusted these bots blindly.
We’ve upgraded the hosting plan, and have now removed that rule exception and enabled attack protection. This now verifies if these link-preview bots are legitimate.
The website is back online Insha’Allah. Please keep our beloved brother in your Duā, for his tireless work. The website will be updated with the most recent lectures in the coming days.
Updated, Alhamdulillah. For those interested in contributing, please go through the lectures tab: https://t.co/fFgzIeekR7
Anything that doesn’t have a PDF associated with it — and you’re willing and able — consider transcribing it into English, and sending it over to me via telegram. If we can eventually get all the lectures and series transcribed, it’ll go a long way to eventually developing an online free academy setup, comprising entirely of the Shaykh’s Da’wah efforts.
As always, constructive feedback is always welcome. BarakaAllahu Feekum.

Ash-Shawkāni رحمه الله تعالى رحمة واسعة states in Nayl Al-‘Awtār [12/331]:
His Saying صلى الله عليه وسلم, “The best of you are the best of you to their wives,” and likewise His Saying in the other Hadith, “The best of you is the best of you to his family” — in this is an indication that the highest in rank among people in goodness, and the most deserving of being described by it, is whoever is the best of people to his family. For the family has the greatest right to cheerfulness, good character, kindness, the bringing of benefit, and the warding off of harm. So if a man is like this, he is the best of people; and if he is the opposite of this, he falls on the other side, the side of evil.
People frequently fall into exactly this predicament: you see the man who, when he meets his family, is the worst of people in character, the boldest in temperament [toward them], and the least good [to them] — yet when he meets those outside the family, strangers, his disposition softens, his character opens up, his self becomes generous, and his goodness increases. There is no doubt that whoever is like this is deprived of divine success (tawfīq) and has strayed from the straight path. We ask Allah for safety.

May Allah forgive us and allow us to be the kindest and most patient with our closest family, نسأل الله السلامة والعافية.
The war on Gaza has not ceased — it has merely morphed into grimmer, more insidious forms.
The bombs still rain from the sky. The children still perish. The siege tightens with each passing day.
And now, atop the shattered remnants of homes and lives, the assault has transformed into a war waged through starvation, through silence, through a deliberate and merciless neglect.
This is a war waged not only with missiles, but with malnutrition. With blocked aid. With the deafening quiet of a world that chooses to look away. As Gaza bleeds and crumbles beneath the weight of destruction, the world reclines on cushions of indifference.
Let history bear witness: While Trump is an active participant in the war on Gaza, he is warmly welcomed in Bilad al-Haramayn and now boasts of extracting $5.1 trillion in jizyah from the Tawāghīt in the Gulf within mere hours — a sum vast enough to drown every inch of Palestine in tanks and saturate its skies with warplanes. And yet, these same Tawāghīt cannot muster even a handful of grain, a vial of medicine, or a drop of clean water for Gaza’s children.
Qatar’s Taghout awards Trump with a private jet — and no one dares to ask: Why not send aid to Gaza instead? Why reward a man who emboldens those who bomb us? Why empower those who cheer our devastation?
Where are the voices that once roared for Gaza? Where are the influencers who leveraged Gaza’s agony to build their names — only to vanish when truth was no longer profitable or popular?
The betrayer in Bilād al-Shām cozies up to the Zionists and the U.S., all the while crushing those who strive to raise the banner of Tawḥīd — fulfilling his bay‘ah to his new amir, Trump. The rest remain silent — a silence that echoes the stillness of the grave. Are we to endure this passivity until the genocide leaves none of them alive?
The media's gaze has turned elsewhere. The opportunists have disappeared. But the sincere — those who stood for Allah alone — must not falter. Now, more than ever, they must stand beside their brothers and sisters in Gaza, unwavering in loyalty and steadfast in faith.
Today, Gaza suffocates — in silence, in isolation. And yet it remains a gaping wound upon the conscience of this Ummah — festering with every moment of neglect and apathy.
Ya Allah, they have transgressed throughout the land and spread corruption far and wide — so unleash upon them a scourge of Your punishment.
Ya Allah, humble — and afflict with even greater suffering than that borne by the people of Gaza — those who call themselves Muslims, yet cast their vote for Trump.
