The State of the Ummah Can Be Due To : Ibn Isḥāq narrated it in his Sīrah, in connection with the expedition of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf (may Allah be pleased with him) to Dūmat al-Jandal, with the wording : ورواه عنه ابن إسحاق في السيرة في سرية عبد الرحمن بن عوف رضي الله عنه إلى دومة الجندل ولفظه: «إنه لم تظهر الفاحشة في قوم قط حتى يعلنوا بها إلا ظهر فيهم الطاعون والأوجاع التي لم تكن في أسلافهم الذين مضوا ولم ينقضوا المكيال والميزان إلا أخذوا بالسنين وشدة المؤنة وجورالسلطان، ولم يمنعوا الزكاة من أموالهم إلا منعوا القطر من السماء، فلولا البهائم ما مطروا، وما نقضوا عهد الله وعهد رسوله إلا سلط عليهم عدو من غيرهم، فأخذ بعض ما كان في أيديهم، وما لم يحكم أئمتهم بكتاب الله وتجبروا فيما أنزل الله إلا جعل الله بأسهم بينهم» Whenever immorality has appeared among a people to the point that they openly proclaim it, plague and diseases which had not existed among their predecessors who have passed away appear among them. Whenever they have not given the full measure and weight, they are afflicted with years of drought, severe hardship, and the tyranny of the ruler. They do not withhold the zakāh of their wealth except that they are deprived of rain from the heavens. Were it not for the animals, they would not receive rain. They do not violate the covenant of Allah and the covenant of His Messenger except that Allāh gives power over them to an enemy from outside their own people, who takes some of what is in their possession. And whenever their leaders do not rule according to the Book of Allāh and instead become arrogant concerning what Allāh has revealed, Allāh makes their conflict among themselves” كتاب نظم الدرر في تناسب الآيات والسور (13/255,256)

ʾAmīr ibn ʿAbd Qays said : قال أمير بن عبد القيس : والله لو جاءني النذير من ربي عند الموت وأخبرني أني من أهل النار وأنه لم يبق من أجلي إلا ساعة من النهار ما طابت نفسي عن نفسي بهلاكها ولأجهدت نفسي فيما بقي من عمرها ليكون أعذر لها عندي إذا نزل الموت By Allāh, even if a warner from my Lord were to come to me at the time of death and inform me that I am among the people of the Fire, and that nothing remained of my appointed term except an hour of the day, my soul would not be content to perish; rather, I would exert myself to the utmost in what remained of my life, so that I might have a better excuse before myself when death descended upon me. كتاب تاريخ دمشق لابن عساكر (27/26) • https://t.me/channelofilm

Women make up the Majority in Paradise S͟hayk͟h al-Islām ʾIbn Taymiyyah said : قال شيخ الإسلام إبن تيمية : لأن النساء أكثر من الرجال إذ قد صح أنهن أكثر أهل النار وقد صح لكل رجل من أهل الجنة زوجتان من الإنسيات سوى الحور العين وذلك لأن من في الجنة من النساء أكثر من الرجال وكذلك في النار فيكون الخلق منهم أكثر Because women are more numerous than men, as it has been authentically established that they constitute the majority of the people of the Fire. It has also been authentically established that every man among the people of Paradise will have two wives from among the human women, apart from the ḥūr al-ʿayn. That is because the women in Paradise are more numerous than the men, and likewise in the Fire. Therefore, the created beings among them are greater in number.” كتاب مجموع الفتاوى (6/432) • https://t.me/channelofilm

Is there an Increase Hatred towards Islām? As much as people push the notion that there’s an increase in hatred towards Islām in today’s times. This really isn’t true. The enmity in the hearts of the disbelievers towards Islām was established 1,400 Years Ago : • Qurʾān 2:120 : “Never will the Jews or Christians be pleased with you, until you follow their faith. Say, ‘Allah’s guidance is the only ˹true˺ guidance.’ And if you were to follow their desires after ˹all˺ the knowledge that has come to you, there would be none to protect or help you against Allah” • Qurʾān 5:51 : “O believers! Take neither Jews nor Christians as guardians - they are guardians of each other. Whoever does so will be counted as one of them. Surely Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people” ‎What we’re seeing now isn’t an “increase in hatred”, the hatred was always there, their hatred towards Tawḥīd and their enmity towards the truth always existed. Even long before the revelation came to the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ. What you see now is just the manifestation of their hatred, because they’re capable of carrying out their plots and harms towards the muslims due to the weakness found in the Ummah. • ‎Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4297 : The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said : “Soon the nations will be summoned to you just like one is invited to a feast.” ‎It was said : “Will we be few in that day?” The Prophet said : “No, rather you will be many in that day, but you will be scum like such flowing down a torrent. Allah will remove your esteem from the chests of your enemies, and Allah will insert feebleness in your own hearts.” ‎It was said : “O Messenger of Allah, what is this feebleness?” The Prophet said : “Love for the worldly life and hatred of death.” ‎Written : ʾIbn Muḥammad al-Ḥanbalī

Being Content with the Lands of Islām being Taken S͟hayk͟h Muḥammad Taqī al-Dīn al-Hilālī said : قال شيخ محمد تقي الدين الهلالي : وكل من رضي بخروج الأرض المقدسة من أيدي المسلمين إلى أعدائهم – ولو لم يساعد على ذلك –؛ فهو كافر لا عهد له ولا ذمة، فكيف إذا وقف في صفوف المحتلين المغتصبين، وأعانهم على وزرهم وإثمهم المبين؟!! ‎Whoever is content with the sacred land being taken from the hands of the muslims by their enemies even if they do not assist in that is a kāfir without covenant or dignity. So, what about one who stands among the ranks of the occupying usurpers, aids them in their oppression, and shares their clear sin?!! رسائل العلامة السلفي (856) • https://t.me/channelofilm

Note : The S͟hayk͟h by no means is claiming that the young man hasn’t committed a sin or that his act of approaching isn’t blameworthy. Instead, what he’s outlining is the fact these women who openly display themselves and their adornments are a root cause of temptation, and as a result they’re more deserving of punishment. He also has beautifully spoken about how it’s incumbent upon authorities to prevent the woman who commits tabarujj or the one who unveils herself, to speak or write about these issues in order to protect the Ummah from their evil. In today’s times, we see these type of women roaming around everywhere on TikTok, who initially wore the Ḥijāb but displayed themselves, then progressed to applying make up, to then unveiling, and now they flaunt their appearances, spreading their evil. And their corruption spews, may Allāh guide them or destroy them so these sources of corruption don’t spread further.

Punishing the Mutabarrijāt S͟hayk͟h Bakr Abū Zayd said : قال شيخ بكر أبو زيد : على مَن بسط الله يده إصدار الأوامر الحاسمة للمحافظة على الفضيلة من عاديات التبرج والسفور والاختلاط، وكفُّ أقلام الرعاع السُّفوريّين عن الكتابة في هذه المطالب، حماية للأمة من شرورهم، وإحالة مَن يَسْخر من الحجاب إلى القَضاء الشرعي، ليطبق عليهم ما يقضي به الشرع من عقاب. ... وإلحاق العقاب بالمتبرجات؛ لأنهن شراك للافتتان، وهن أولى بالعقاب من الشاب الذي يتعرض لهن، إذ هي التي أغرته فَجَرَّته إلى نفسها It is incumbent upon the one to whom Allāh has extended authority, to issue decisive commands for the preservation of virtue against the assaults of tabarruj, unveiling, mixing and to restrain the pens of the vile, immodest rabble from writing about these matters, in order to protect the Ummah from their evils. Likewise, whoever mocks the ḥijāb should be referred to the Sharʿī judiciary so that the punishment prescribed by the Sharīʿah may be carried out upon them. And punishment should also be inflicted upon the women who display tabarruj, for they are snares of temptation, and they are more deserving of punishment than the young man who approaches them, since it is she who enticed him and thus drew him to herself. كتاب حراسة الفضيلة (114) • https://t.me/channelofilm

Filling the Void in your Heart al-Imām Ibn al Qayyim said : قال الامام إبن القيم : وفيه فاقة: لا يسدها إلا محبته، والإنابة إليه، ودوام ذكره، وصدق الإخلاص له. ولو أعطي الدنيا وما فيها لم تسد تلك الفاقة منه أبدا. Within it [the heart] is a poverty and need that nothing can satisfy except love for Him, turning back to Him in repentance, constant remembrance of Him, and sincere devotion to Him. Even if it were given the whole world and everything in it, that need would never be satisfied. مدارج السالكين (3/156) • https://t.me/channelofilm

Whoever sins and wrongs themselves Allāh, Exalted is He said : وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوٓءًا أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ ٱللَّهَ يَجِدِ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورًۭا رَّحِيمًۭا Whoever commits evil or wrongs themselves then seeks Allah’s forgiveness will certainly find Allah All-Forgiving, Most Merciful. القرأن 4:110 • https://t.me/channelofilm

Know your Worth Ibn Khubayq narrated : حدثنا أبو القاسم منصور بن محمد الحذاء، نا أبو نصر محمد بن أحمد الطالقاني، نا يوسف بن موسى، نا ابن خبيق، قال رجل لابن المبارك: أوصني، قال: اعرف قدرك A man said to Ibn al-Mubārak : “Give me advice” He said : “Know your worth” كتاب المشيخة البغدادية (1/294) • https://t.me/channelofilm
