It is my honor and privilege to be headed to the US Senate to serve the great state of Michigan.
Michigan, we did what they said couldn’t be done. We won. Together. Now the real work begins.
This is a video of my son, Ibrahim ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Hassan, from one of my visits to Kuwait, where we met Sheikh Muhammad Jamil al-Nuristani, hafidhahullahu ta'ala.
Meeting him left a real impression on my son. I explained to him the status of the scholar and what a privilege it was to be able to put my questions to him. Among the things I asked about was Muhammad ibn al-Wazir al-Yamani. I had been reading his works, and I asked the Sheikh about some of them and about what I had come across in them, as well as about Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah and some of the statements of Sa'd al-Din al-Taftazani.
My son sat there listening to the whole conversation. When we left, he said to me, "Dad, I really enjoyed being with the Sheikh. It motivated me."
I share this, my brothers and sisters, because it is so important to bring your children along on your journeys in seeking knowledge. Let them see the scholars and the people of knowledge. Let them see you, their father or mother, sitting as a student and learning from the ulama. That leaves a deeper mark on them than any lecture or two you could give them yourself.
Zainab Mohammed, the second survivor rescued from the collapsed building in Eastleigh, arrived at the scene in tears, visibly overwhelmed as she reunited with families anxiously waiting for news of their missing loved ones.
Eastleigh’s death trap

#CitizenWeekend
So the owners, contractors, architects, foreman, fundis, mama ya chai na mandasi are all Kambas and Kikuyus...and everyone has been condemning Somalis for the past 24 hours...for building shoddy houses...national tragedies should unite us, not divide us.
