I would shield you even at the cost of myself. Would that my very soul
Could protect you from the calamities and hardships of this world.
The only due that you hold upon me
Is to guard you from the stain of sin.
You must realize, my brother, that its possible to state a truth while the surrounding context negates what has been said.
He began by describing muslim as a "guest" among the kuffar, and subsequently added that there is no intention to "Islamize" the West.
This sentiment mirrors the rhetoric of those who seek the approval of kuffar, while advocating for coexistence in peace.
Surely, you are aware of the religious ruling regarding living in the *dar al-kufr*, where one is unable to openly manifest one’s faith.
I certainly don't dispute that *da'wah* must be conducted in the manner of the Messenger of الله and his companions.
However, has he truly addressed the methodology of *da'wah* and its inherent requirements?
The *sirah* makes this abundantly clear: whoever calls to the true religion of الله will inevitably face opposition.
Do you believe that calling to the true faith can be achieved without costs, trials, and the process of refinement? The *sirah* serves as the most prominent example of this.
For victory to be attained, one must necessarily traverse the same path that the Messenger of الله and his companions once trod.
I don't know where this brother stands overall, yet what he stated here is mistaken from several distinct angles:
First: Is it not a serious failure to coexist with someone whom you see heading towards destruction without making an effort to warn them?
And what greater destruction could there be than eternal damnation in the Hellfire?
Even if one's migration or presence in a land wasn't originally for the purpose of giving Daʿwah, that doesn't absolve one of the responsibility to convey the truth.
Second: Why should we overlook the immense virtue of being a means through which الله guides someone?
Do we not wish for people to be saved from the Fire?
Do we not love guidance for them?
And do we not hope for the tremendous reward الله has promised to those through whom He guides others?
Third: Is not the greatest form of enjoining good the call to Tawḥīd, and the greatest form of forbidding evil the warning against Shirk?
How, then, can calling people to Islam be treated as something that should be set aside simply because one didn't originally travel there for the purpose of Daʿwah?
Fourth: There is also a misconception in assuming that refraining from calling people to Islam, or presenting oneself as someone who has no intention of doing so,
will necessarily earn their approval and acceptance.
“And never will the Jews or the Christians be pleased with you until you follow their religion.” [Al-Baqarah 2:120]
Fifth: The claim that the Muslims who migrated to Abyssinia didn't give Daʿwah, or that nobody there embraced Islam, is inaccurate.
Al-Najāshī, embraced Islam, and reports mention others among his people who concealed their Iman.
The Prophet ﷺ even offered the funeral prayer for him when he died.
We ask الله to show us the truth as truth and grant us the ability to follow it, and to show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us the strength to avoid it.
Abu Ibrahim says Muslims are guests in the West 😲
"We're not here to Islamicize the West. We're here as guests. When the Muslims were in Abyssinia, did they give dawah? No."
Well spoken. Furthermore, calling them to Islam is the greatest good you could ever offer anyone, and a Muslim stands upon absolute certainty that he is upon the truth, takes pride in his Deen, rejoices in it, and desires salvation for the people.
Moreover, the kuffar themselves claim to uphold freedom to practice religion and preach your faith, so how could you shy away from it when they've actually enabled you to do so?
I am not claiming that this is the optimal method of Dawah, rather what the Messenger of الله, peace and blessings be upon him, and his Companions were upon is the best way of Dawah.
However, to abstain from it when you have the ability to do so under the pretext that you are a guest among them and aren't there for that purpose is contrary to whats right, and الله knows best.
Malik (ibn Dinar), said:
"Indeed, الله, Mighty and Majestic, commanded that a town be punished, whereupon the angels raised a clamor in supplication, saying:
'Indeed, among them is Your righteous servant so-and-so!'
Allah said: 'Make Me hear his clamor (by beginning the punishment with him),
for his face never once changed in anger for the sake of My sacred limits being violated.'"
Shu'ab al-Iman by al-Bayhaqi (7188).
Insult Allah. I won't move an inch.
Insult Muhammad. It doesn't bother me.
Tear the Quran. It's not my book to defend.
Call the Quran a book of terror. That's your opinion.
But insult me personally, and I might get angry.
Allah is God. He doesn't need me to defend Him. I am a human being, and I have a responsibility to defend my own dignity. I won't turn religious insults into personal battles.
Everything you seek and yearn to attain through haram will bring you its exact opposite,
and the final consequence of your affair will be loss, humiliation, and regret.
Everything you abandon for the sake of الله Almighty will be replaced with something far better,
and the final consequence of your affair will be triumph, honor, and joy.
So choose either to delay your loss or to delay your triumph.
And the ultimate outcome belongs to righteousness.
If your intellect is sound, your fitrah is pure, and your insight is clear,
you'll naturally abstain from haram, feel repulsed by it, and detest it.
The pleasures of haram will cease to exist in your eyes, and you'll come to see and seek pleasure only in halal.
Right there lies true joy and delight.
O الله, make Iman beloved to us and beautify it in our hearts, and make kufr, wickedness, and disobedience hateful to us, and make us among the rightly guided.
@AkramKarani He isn't Akhi,
Claiming to be a Muslim doesn't establish one’s status as such
Islam can be nullified by the utterance of a single word of kufr
So what, then, of one who displays complete allegiance to the fiercest enemies of Islam while manifesting hostility toward Muslims?
Do you see the hypocrisy of that Murtad 'Myron Loss'?
He claims to be a free speech absolutist, defending it even when it targets the honor of the best of creation, Muhammad, the Messenger of الله, peace and blessings be upon him.
Yet the line is drawn when it comes to a joke directed at the deceased kafir Charlie Kirk, who was among the fiercest enemies of Islam.
He draws the line wherever his white masters draw it, for he is a slave to them, rejoicing in their joy, raging in their anger, obeying their commands, and abstaining at their prohibitions.
May الله disgrace the one who betrays the religion and chooses to be a tail and a shoe for the kufar among Banu al-Asfar.
Nothing is worthy of regret except falling short in acts of obedience and committing sins.
As for this dunya, it is merely a dream, an illusion, and a mirage,
so no one regrets over it except the one who lacks intellect.
This kafir harbored intense hatred and hostility toward Islam and the Muslims.
He transgressed against the noble honor of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and mocked the blood of the Muslims.
What was his recompense and his ultimate end?
-> He was killed live on stream before the eyes of millions.
-> He became hated and despised even among his own people, the kuffar.
-> He became a joke and a meme across the internet, mocked by everyone.
And this is merely his ruin in this dunya and its consequence, while the punishment of the Hereafter is far more severe.
I have benefited greatly from this, Akhi, I pray that الله records it in the balance of your good deeds.
Truly, we are in dire need of knowledge and scholars,
otherwise, we would perish and go astray.
We ask الله to teach us what benefits us, to let us benefit from what He has taught us, and to increase us in knowledge.
When I am in the midst of trial, distress, and hardship, yet my heart is turned towards الله Almighty, everything becomes light.
In fact, I find the greatest sweetness and supreme happiness while inside that very trial.
Then the moment I fall into sin, the trial collapses upon me like a mountain crushing me, every anxiety gathers against me, and I feel as though my chest is about to burst, feeling each passing moment weighed down by all that distress, hardship, and affliction.
By الله, my brothers, what we experience of constriction, anxiety, and hardship stems directly from our sins and our shortcomings with الله.
As for the distress and trials of this dunya, they become entirely effortless to bear, for there is no anxiety and no constriction when one is with الله Almighty.
Therefore, my brother, flee to الله. Seek refuge in Him.
By الله, you will find a Merciful Lord who shelters you, takes full care of you, and attends to you with the utmost care.
In closeness to Him, you will find all happiness, a way out of every distress, and relief from every anxiety.
I ask الله to relieve the distress of the Muslims, lift their afflictions, dispel their constriction, guide us, and return us to Him in a beautiful manner.
@itiswhatitis76 Read this tweet, so you can understand the real interpretation of that verse : https://t.co/ecqShxToPq
And about following the law of the land, read this tweet: https://t.co/BT8Aq6O8KI
I ask الله to guide you to the truth
All these diluting Du'at repeat the mantra:
"Islam mandates that you respect the laws of the land you are in and adhere to its system."
This is a lie against الله Almighty.
Rather, among the most obligatory duties, Asl ad-Deen, and its firmest handhold is disavowing man-made kufr laws, hating them, and disbelieving in them and in those who uphold them.
How can it be otherwise, when among these laws are:
Freedom of religion and belief, and freedom of speech, which includes reviling الله, His Messenger, and His religion.
The legalizing of homosexuality and same-sex marriage.
The legalizing of prostitution, pornography, alcohol, and gambling.
The legalizing of gender transition and transgenderism.
I adjure you by الله, what Muslim respects such laws?
By الله, no one's religion is safe unless there exists in his heart a genuine hatred for this and a kufr in it.
No one has truly realized La ilaha illallah who hasn't disbelieved in these laws and fulfilled the pillar of Kufr bit-Taghut.
We ask الله to show us the truth as truth and grant us to follow it, and to show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us to avoid it.
Do you see the religion that this Murtad follows?
His religion is democracy, his Quran is the US Constitution, and his god is the very author of that Constitution.
Yet, people remain in a state of ignorance and blindness, failing to grasp
the true meaning of Islam, the nature of *shirk*, the essence of *‘ibadah*, or the attributes of the Lord Mighty and Majestic is He.
Consequently, their understanding of Islam has been reduced to nothing more than its outward form.
This has led them to perceive the leaders of kufr as guided, righteous guides, champions of Islam and the faith.
