al-ʿAllāmah Abā Buṭayn said:
O Allah, since You have guided us to Islām, do not take it away from us, and do not take us away from it until You cause us to die upon it while You are pleased with us.
“Our Lord, do not let our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy from Yourself; indeed, You are al-Wahhāb (the Bestower).” [Āl ʿImrān: 8]
Ṭāwūs ibn Kaysān رحمه الله Said:
“Seek knowledge for your own sake, for the people have lost their trustworthiness.”
Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah. Amazing reminder.
WAllahi, one of the strongest responses from our sisters who strive to protect and uphold the niqab is simply to continue wearing it with sincerity, patience and steadfastness. For those who care about preserving their faith and remaining firm upon Islam, there is no greater response to criticism than remaining committed to what Allah has commanded.
The best response is not arguments, debates, or endless words. The best response is to remain firm upon the deen of Allah. Our determination to practice Islam despite opposition, mockery, or pressure speaks louder than any statement we could make. Every day a sister wears her niqab seeking the pleasure of Allah alone, she demonstrates strength, conviction, and trust in her Lord.
The enemies of Islam may dislike the niqab, but a believer's goal is not to seek the approval of people. Our goal is to seek the pleasure of Allah. When a sister chooses obedience over popularity, modesty over attention, and faith over worldly acceptance, she is making a powerful statement without even speaking.
To wear the niqab in a time when modesty is ridiculed and religious commitment is questioned and attacked, requires courage. It requires patience. It requires certainty in Allah and confidence in His guidance. Every step taken in obedience to Allah is an act of worship, and every sacrifice made for His sake is known to Him. And the higher the pressure, the higher goes the rewards from Allah.
So to our sisters who wear the niqab and remain steadfast upon their faith: be proud of your commitment to Islam, remain humble before Allah, and continue seeking His reward. Wallahi, there is no greater honor than being a servant of Allah. There is no greater status than being chosen to obey Him, love Him, and strive for His sake.
Your patience is seen by Allah. Your struggles are known to Allah. Your tears, sacrifices, and efforts are all known to Him. Not a single act of obedience escapes His knowledge, and not a single hardship endured for His sake goes unrewarded.
Allah is preserving every prayer, every act of modesty, every moment of patience, every insult you ignored, every temptation you resisted, and every step you took seeking His pleasure. He is collecting every good deed and safeguarding it for a Day when you will be in need of even the smallest reward.
The Day will come when the records are opened, the scales are established, and people will see the results of what they sent forward. On that Day, many who mocked obedience will wish they had remained steadfast. Many who laughed at modesty will wish they had embraced it. Many who discouraged righteousness will wish they had encouraged it instead.
As for the believer who remained patient for the sake of Allah, they will find mountains of reward they never imagined. They will find that no sacrifice was wasted, no struggle was forgotten, and no act of sincerity was overlooked. Every moment spent seeking Allah's pleasure will be waiting for them.
So remain firm. Remain patient. Remain sincere. Let the people say what they wish, for their words will pass away, but the reward with Allah remains. The opinions of people are temporary, but the pleasure of Allah is everlasting.
Remain firm. Remain sincere. Remain patient. Everything is just but a moment. Let your character reflect the beauty of Islam and let your steadfastness be your answer. There is no response more powerful than remaining committed to the truth for the sake of Allah.
You're a walking warrior with your niqab on. Not because you seek recognition from people, but because you chose obedience when disobedience was easier, deen when compromise was popular, and the pleasure of Allah over the approval of creation. Every step you take in obedience to Allah is a step of strength, honor, and devotion. May Allah keep you firm upon His deen, increase you in taqwa, grant you patience through every trial, make you among those who remain steadfast until they meet Him, and make your final record heavy with deeds that bring you joy on the Day you meet Him. Ameen.
SubhanAllah really amazing.
A man in Saudi has been called stingy (بخيل) by his friends because he wouldn’t spend a lot of money when he went out. When he passed away, they realized he had built 12 mosques and left inheritance for his wife and children.
Doing your deeds sincerely for the sake of Allah is the key of success in this world and Hereafter, even though nobody knows.
He gave priority to Akhira, the way it should be, Mashaa Allah. May Allah have mercy on him, raise his ranks and reward him with beautiful palaces in Jannah.
“Allah will bring you what you love, in the way He loves.”
Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:
It was said:
“I will remain patient in order to please You (Oh Allāh),
even though my sorrow kills me.
It suffices me that You are pleased,
even though my patience kills me.”
[Madarīj as-Salikeen | 2/157]
Your telegram is not active
Yes I lost it, and can't post anymore but it's still active in the sense it exists and its worth going through.
Eid Mubarak to every Muslim.
May Allah accept every sincere deed, forgive every sin, and by His mercy transform our mistakes into rewards.
May He grant us pure hearts, steadfast souls, a beautiful ending, and the honor of meeting Him while He is pleased with us.
Funny Story: الشيخ كشك رحمه الله
Shaykh Kishk was once summoned by an oppressive government official.
The official asked: "What separates you from a donkey?"
Kishk replied: "The table that is between us."
The guards started beating him until he couldn't walk.
A guard then carried him on his back to his cell.
As he was getting carried away, the Shaykh recited the Du'a we make when riding an animal:
"Glory to Him Who has given this [ride] in our control, and we did not have the strength to do it ourselves.” [Qur'an 43:13].
قال الشيخ كشك رحمه الله: - طلبني مأمور القسم، وسألني ما الفرق بينك وبين الحمار؟ فقلت: المكتب اللي قدام سعادتك. - فأمر العسكري بضربي، وعندما ضربني قال له احمله على ظهرك إلى زنزانته.. فعندما حملني قلت: سبحان الذي سخر لنا هذا وما كنا له مقرنين.. فنزلني وكمل ضرب.
