He died after fulfilling the trust given to him from the heavens above, without leaving any inheritance behind, having gathered the divided tribes of Arabia into a nation that ruled the entire world.
They went on to control more land in 70 years than the Roman Empire did in 800 years.
They established justice & God’s sovereignty between the people and amongst themselves.
They brought the nations to know and worship One God, disassociating from their idols and espousing pure monotheism.
He is the best of God’s creation, the finality of the prophets and messenger, he who is more beautiful than the moon on a clear night.
We miss you O Messenger of Allah.
Oh Allah we ask you the companionship of your beloved in your paradise.
If you’re currently watching and enjoying the World Cup, and you also hold Nāṣir al-Fahd to be a trustworthy scholar, then sorry to break the news to you: according to your scholar, you are watching and enjoying kufr and shirk.
Naṣīr al-Fahd in Al-Fatāwā al-Ḥāʾiriyah, pages 35-36:
He was asked: Do competitions and the rules within them fall under “judging by other than what Allāh has revealed”? And if so, what is the ruling on those who engage in them, practice them, and acknowledge them, including the referees?
He replied: “The principle is that whoever judges between two—even children in marbles or shooters in shooting—is a judge, as established by the Ṣaḥābah and narrated by the scholars such as Shaykh al-Islām and the Imams of the daʿwah. It is not permissible for any judge to rule except by the judgment of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ.
So know that the referee in sports competitions is a judge who rules by other than what Allāh has revealed, ruling by FIFA’s laws—may Allāh curse them. For example, if a player intentionally hits another, the ruling in Sharʿī law is qisās (retaliation), whereas their ruling is a red card. Ruling by other than what Allāh revealed is disbelief. This is one of those matters in which the ‘maʿrūf’ (good) has become ‘munkar’ (evil), and the ‘munkar’ has become ‘maʿrūf’. And Allāh is the One whose help is sought.”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever raises two daughters until they reach maturity, he will come on the Day of Judgment with me like this” – and he joined his fingers together.
Sheikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“This hadith emphasizes the virtue of raising daughters with kindness and care. Some people may feel burdened when they have daughters, thinking that sons are more beneficial. However, the Prophet ﷺ reassured his Ummah that raising and nurturing daughters is a path to great reward, to the extent that one who does so will be close to the Prophet ﷺ in the Hereafter. This hadith encourages good treatment of daughters and reminds us that they are a blessing, not a burden.”

Israel conducted hundreds of air strikes against Syria in the past decade, including on Damascus and Aleppo International Airports. Israeli officials confessed that they have supported al-Qaeda terrorists against the Syrian Army. Where was your outrage, back then?
