When I was a little girl living in Morocco, I burst in tear from humility “خشوع" because of my dad doing "ذكر" remembrance of God. Since then I fear and love Alah almighty. My Alah grants my dad and all humanity paradise.

My goodness.. I felt like a child sitting beside the fireplace listening to good old people and their stories. MashAllah.. I feel so blessed to be alive to see this people walk this earth, with their soft and pure hearts. I love them so much for the sake of Allah. Their lights shines so bright, makes me feel a shamed of myself and the situation the world is in. There is so much dirt that the few "white" dots that can be seen is now considered to be stains, instead of saints. Once it was the opposite way around, it was the black dots that was easily recognized as stains, but now they have become the majority. Thank you for sharing this. I'm so happy to be a part of this big family. My love and dua is for you all. May you all be blessed in this life and the hereafter with your loved ones. Amin.
I couldn't stop sobbing.... Just the fact that two slaves of Allah ... Are conversing with each other , about the slaves of Allah..... ✨Human conversation ✨... subhanAllah.... I can't explain why .. but I am just awestruck for this blessing from Allah.... to us all... kind of love Allah has for his slaves... Ways of healing our souls.... JazakAllahu Khairan..... May Allah bless your existence in this world and the hereafter...... 🤲 Remember us all in your prayers .

Jasads everywhere, my brother. The fitrah has been slowly but surely eroding in today's "humanity" and soon...it will be eradicated with the use of technology & transhumanism, ushering In a new era of "higher existence" which will promise the world "a 1000 years of peace". 999 out of every 1000 of that "higher existence" era & society of Jasads/Non-Fitrah people will be sent to the hellfire. The reason: they repeated the same sin that our Father Adam (عليه السلام) committed in Jannah/Heaven. Remember: Actions are judged by their intention. What was the intention of our Father Adam (عليه السلام)? Do your research and you will find the answer insha'Allah. - Brother T.J.

I am a mother from Gaza and I have orphaned children. We have no one after God. My husband died years ago and there is no one for us after God. I have a lot to do in life, but time is running out for me and my kids. Please stand by my son. The doctor told me that the child wants the operation on his eyes as soon as possible, but I have nothing to attribute to the operation. The doctor said that the operation costs, but I have nothing for the operation, please. I hope my brothers don't forget me about this Even by God, most of the time, there is nothing in the house, no food or drink, alhamdulillah The phone is located in Al-Ula, next to the Palestinian flag written in Arabic الحمدلله

MashaAllah, may Allah bless everyone involved in this great work. I just wished to clarify one thing. I think the sister who asked the first question was missunderstood by our noble mashaa'ikh. Perhaps she didn't phrase it clearly enough or perhaps it was too philosophical. But I think I got her point. The sister was trying to say, that in the past, in traditional societies including islamic one the emphasis was put more on sincerity in the sense of arabic IKHLAS which means that it doesn't matter who you are as individual, what matters is that you are honestly and genuinely intending to improve yourself through a particular action despite your great sins and mistakes and weaknesses. So it's more about your WILL rather than your current emotional state. Thats why she said "feelings come out of sincerity" So you could say that someone sincerely regretted his mistake. Or that he sincerely wants to be a good muslim by doing X. While "authenticity" seems to put more emphasis on the subject as he is given/appears to himself, it's more ego-centric and egoistic in a sense. its about nafs. That's why we have those slogans in commercials "Be yourself" or "Just DO IT" or this whole idea of body-positivity (no matter that you are overweight 100 kg, just accept yourself!). So for example to be authentic is to act based on your feelings and intuitions rather than based on moral principles and idea of purifying your hearth. This whole idea of "express yourself!". Since when everyone has something valuable to express? What about good old silence and being quiet and humble for example? Thats why she said that "authenticity comes out of feelings" So essentially the sister made a very good remark and I guess she just wanted the sheikh to comment on that briefly, maybe speculate a bit where does that shift come from and why. I personally think it's part of the capitalistic rhethoric, because an individual who is sincere is a bad consumer. He doesn't buy much, focuses on his spiritual growth and becoming a better person, he doesnt need to express him/herself bcs he knows that its way better to listen rather than to speak. he doesnt eat much, because he sincerily wants to repent by fasting etc. While someone who is AUTHENTIC has a need of constantly expressing his valuable NAFS in a form of impulsive consumption. "Today you have apetite for bucket of ice cream? Go ahead! be authentic, don't lie to yourself! You love icecream don't you? Tomorrow you feel like visiting a brothel? Nothing wrong about it! Don't pretend you are a saint! It's not prostitution anymore, it's called "sexworking" now! No need to feel shame!"

Sh. Hamza, what about Musa ﷺ and Haroon ﷺ as a duo against the pharaonic forces; what about the three messengers enforced by each other against the mob (mentioned in Surat Yaseen)?
