📢 New Resource Available: The Methodology of the Saved Sect Based on the book by Shaykh Muḥammad ibn Jamīl Zaynū. I’ve prepared a concise presentation on the core principles and application of the Methodology of the Saved Sect, essential for staying upon the path of truth in today’s many differing voices. These slides are designed to make complex concepts easy to grasp, whether for personal study, group discussions or teaching to others. “Knowledge is what Allāh, His Messenger, and the companions said. Knowledge is not taking the Hadith of the messenger and comparing it to another person’s view.” - Imām Ibn Qayyim [Kāfiyah ash-Shāfiyah] Abū Ismā'īl Al-Maktabah | The Library Read & Share

Today is The Day to Give Give to our Islamic School in Afghanistan, your donation will help over 300 students. ‎“Giving charity (on Fridays) has a distinct advantage over the rest of the weekdays. Its superiority is similar to giving charity in the month of Ramaḍān in contrast to the rest of the months.” ‎[Zād al-Maʿād | 1/394 - Ibn al-Qayyim] Don't hold back brothers and sisters, give to the Ummah https://www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/madrasahafghanistan

In the Light of Rubūbiyyah: Allāh the Perfect Creator and Sustainer "We may tire of gazing at cars and towering buildings crafted by human hands, but the endless beauty and power of Allāh’s creation, the great mountains, the flowing streams of fresh water, the radiant sun, and the vast sky, always captures the heart. No man can fashion such wonders, for they belong solely to the Perfect Creator, Allāh." 🖊️ Abū Ismā'īl

When Life Changes, Let Your Heart Stay With Allāh ”When happiness enters your life, thank Allāh with humility, for it is His mercy. And when you’re tested, trust in Him completely, for it is His wisdom. This world is a delicate blend of ease and trial, joy and sorrow. Prepare your heart for both, and anchor it in Him, for only with Allāh does the heart find peace in every season.” 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl

Through the Gates of Trial to the Gardens of Eternity Imām Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said: ‎“Whoever is created for Jannah, will forever be afflicted with calamities.” ‎[al-Fawa’īd | 36] “The believer walks a path paved with trials, each gate harder than the last. But with every hardship endured, he draws closer to the final gate, the gate of Jannah. This journey was never meant to be easy, for paradise was never meant for those who waver, but for those who persevere with Imān and Sabr.” 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl

The Mercy Within the Pain "Allāh’s decree can be the hardest for me to embrace, not because it is unkind, but because it gently touches the places I cling to most. He allows my heart to feel pain, not to break me, but to cleanse me and draw me closer to Him. In that pain, He is making me stronger and more sincere, more ready for what lies ahead. So I will never lose hope in Allāh. Even when it hurts, even when I don’t understand, I trust that whatever He chooses is, without doubt, what’s best for me." 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl

O Allāh, protect us from the consequences of our neglect Have we not heard the powerful words of Amīr al-Mu’minīn ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu): “You consider yourselves to be believers while among you a believer is starving?” [Musnad al-Shāmiyyīn by al-Ṭabarānī] So what are we today? Gaza children dig through rubbish bins, mothers bury their infants, and we scroll past it in silence. Is this what we’ve become O Ummah of Mohammed ﷺ? 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl

The Gift You Overlook, Another is Praying For The Prophet ﷺ said: “Look at those below you and do not look at those above you, lest you belittle the favours of Allāh.” (Sahīh Muslim) "True happiness lies in being grateful for what Allāh has given you and not desiring more than you need. What Allāh provides you may be the very thing someone else is praying for right now. Never take His blessings for granted." 🖊️ Abū Ismā'īl https://alharakah.substack.com

Who Are the Druze? A Doctrinal and Historical Analysis of the Sect A Sect Completely Unrelated to Islam: Understanding the Druze from a Muslim Perspective This article was written to help clarify who the Druze truly are, based on their core beliefs, historical origins, and how they are viewed in mainstream Islamic scholarship. As Muslims, it's essential we understand that they are not from us, and we are not from them, especially in these times when they are actively involved in unrest and harm in Syria. 💻 Al-Harakah | The Movement Read Full Article & Subscribe for FREE https://alharakah.substack.com/p/who-are-the-druze

“No signal. No Wi-Fi. No online learning. Just mountains, hardship and determination.” In the remote regions of Afghanistan, children climb mountains just to learn. With no access to modern education, they rely on whatever they can — books, memory, and the will to succeed. In this video the brother from Rethink Charity explains what our goals are. 📚 At Asbhal Al-Ummah, we believe no child should be left behind just because of where they live. I will be travelling in September to visit our school in Afghanistan. Please donate so we can reach our target.

You Can Have Everything and Still Have Nothing Without Him “Some found Allāh at rock bottom, when sin buried them deep and when no one saw them but Him. And others lost Him at the top, drowned in luxury, praised by the people, but forgotten by their own hearts. This Dunya can deceive you: it can humble you into prostration, or blind you with success.” 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl https://t.me/abuismailnotes

The Hidden Trial of Istidrāj The Prophet ﷺ said: “If you see Allāh giving a servant what he loves from the worldly life, despite his sinful disobedience, then surely it is luring him to destruction [Istidrāj].” Then, the Prophet recited the verse, “Thus, when they forgot what they were reminded of, We opened the doors of every good thing for them until, as they rejoiced in what they were given, We seized them suddenly with utter despair.” (6:44) Musnad Aḥmad. "When you see the oppressor thriving and the sinner unpunished, do not be deceived, this is not divine favour, but Istidrāj: a test where Allāh grants worldly success to the defiant, allowing them to go further astray, luring him to destruction. It is a gradual reprieve, not mercy, for Allāh delays them only so He may seize them suddenly, when they least expect it. So do not envy the one who prospers in sin, for when Allāh delays, He does not forget; and when He seizes, none can break free." 🖊️ Abū Ismā'īl https://t.me/abuismailnotes

The Martyr Never Dies “The Shuhadā [martyrs] leave behind the blasts of bombs, the fire of war, and the cries of pain, only to dwell in peace as green birds beneath the Throne of their Lord. Their blood writes no tragedy, but triumph. For the Shahīd is never defeated, in the dunya, he inspires resistance; in the ākhirah, he lives in Jannah. Victory is always his, in life or in death.” May Allāh accept all the killed in Gaza as Shuhadā. Amīn 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl https://t.me/abuismailnotes

While Their Hands Still Hold Ours Allāh says, ”…honour your parents. If one or both of them reach old age in your care, never say to them ˹even˺ ‘ugh,’ nor yell at them. Rather, address them respectfully." (17:23) ”In their youth, our parents bore the weight of our world with quiet strength, shielding us from storms, sacrificing sleep for our peace, and giving more than they had. In their old age, let us honour that love not with grand gestures, but with time, shared meals, soft laughter, and patient presence. For one day, their voice will fall silent, and their face will live only in memory. Cherish them while they are still here to be cherished.” 🖊️ Abū Ismā’īl https://t.me/abuismailnotes
