We preceded them in hijrah but they preceded us to shahada ..
المسلم بر أواب
مفتاح للخير وباب
يصدع بالحق بحكمته
واللطف كلامٌ وخطابه
وله الآداب تميزه
يرفعه بالخلق سحاب
The Muslim is righteous and repentant,
(He is) a key to goodness and a door (to it)
He speaks the truth with wisdom,
And gentle is his speech and his addressing,
And he has manners that distinguish him,
The clouds raise him up with his good character
"You have all the tools to get through this chapter, whether you use them or not is up to you."
أَلَا بِذِكۡرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطۡمَئِنُّ ٱلۡقُلُوبُ
Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allāh hearts are assured. 13:28
It was narrated from Miqdam bin Ma’dikarib that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“The martyr has six things (in store) with Allah:
He is forgiven from the first drop of his blood that is shed;
he is shown his place in Paradise;
he is spared the torment of the grave;
he is kept safe from the Great Fright;
he is adorned with a garment of faith;
he is married to (wives) from among the wide-eyed houris;
and he is permitted to intercede for seventy of his relatives.”
Sunan Ibn Majah 2799
Sometimes you think you're not worthy enough to get shahada in His Cause, you think to yourself - "me, with my heart stained charcoal black with years of sins, how will I ever reach the ranks of those saadiqeen, mukhliseen who's sleep alone was an ibadah which they were rewarded for let alone jumping into the flames of w4r for Allah's Sake.." - and this is where you need to remind yourself that your guidance in itself was not from you, it was truly and solely a bounty and gift from Allah that isn't just handed out to anyone and everyone. Likewise those who preceded you, Allah bestowed upon them the guidance and tawfiq to reach where they did. This mentality of self loathing, sometimes may be needed to humble yourself when it starts feeling proud and secure, but you need to be careful that you don't exceed its limit.
Anything taken in excessive amounts is harmful. So drink from the cup of reprimanding yourself in moderation lest you convince yourself to not strive at all. Insecurities in your religious duties should push you to work harder, not bully yourself into doing nothing at all, thereby just proving the doubts shaytan plants in you. Change the tone of the voice in your head, speak to yourself as a sincere adviser and not a hostile critic, encourage yourself even if and especially in a time where you may not get this encouragement from those around you - to strive towards being sincere and making dua for shahada in Allah's Path even though you feel so far from it. Ask Allah to guide you to the deeds that lead to shahada and make easy for you the path to shahada. The more you condition your soul to crave shahada, the more you will be eager to strive towards it and leave off anything that tries to come between you and shahada and the easier it will become to find the paths that lead you to it..
وَٱلَّذِينَ جَٰهَدُواْ فِينَا لَنَهۡدِيَنَّهُمۡ سُبُلَنَاۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَمَعَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. 29:69
وكل الذين ثبتوا قبلك وعضوا بالنواجذ على منهاج النبوة وقبضوا بأيديهم على جمر العقيدة؛ كل هؤلاء أعانهم مولاهم فاستقاموا ، وأنت لست استثناء ولا بدعا من السائرين على هذا الدرب، ولن تبلغ مراقيهم بغير السير على خطاهم. ولقد اقتضت حكمة الله البالغة أن يكون سبيل الحق ملازما للمكاره والصعاب، وأن تكون سبل الباطل ملازمة للشهوات، للحديث المتفق على صحته، قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (حُجِبَتِ النَّارُ بالشُّهَواتِ، وحُجِبَتِ الجَنَّةُ بالمَكارِهِ)،
وفي رواية: (حفت) أي أحيطت، وكأنّ المكاره حجاب الجنة وسورها، من اجتازه يوشك أن يصيبها، بينما الشهوات سور النار وحجابها من هتكه سقط فيها، وإنها جنة الخلد التي غرسها الله بيديه، ولو حفها بالشهوات لامتلأت من عبيد الدنيا وهيهات، بل حفّها بالمكاره والصعاب ليخلص إليها برحمته من هو أهل لها، فإنّ الله طيب لا يقبل إلا طيبا.
And all those who were firm before you, who clung with all their might to the Prophetic way and held fast to the embers of faith, were aided by their Lord and thus remained steadfast. You are no exception nor an anomaly among those who walk this path, and you will not reach their heights unless you follow in their footsteps. Indeed, the profound wisdom of Allah has decreed that the path of truth be accompanied by hardships and difficulties, and that the paths of falsehood be accompanied by desires. As stated in the hadith agreed upon as authentic, the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: “Hellfire is veiled by desires, and Paradise is veiled by hardships.”
In another narration: “It is surrounded,” meaning it is encircled, as if the hardships are the veil and wall of Paradise; whoever crosses them is about to reach it, while desires are the wall and veil of Hellfire; whoever breaches them falls into it. And it is the Garden of Eternity that Allah planted with His own hands. If He had surrounded it with desires, it would have been filled with the slaves of this world, far be it from Him! Rather, He surrounded it with hardships and trials so that, through His mercy, He might save those who are worthy of it, for Allah is Good and accepts only that which is good.

واعلم أن العبد إذا تراخى وفلّ قبضته عن جمرة التوحيد وشوكة العقيدة؛ تفلّتت من بين يديه بقدر هذا التراخي، وإذا اعتاد العبد التهاون في هذا المقام، تفلّتت عقيدته واستعصت عليه، ولذلك جاء نهيه سبحانه: {وَلَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مباشرةً بعد أمره تعالى: {فَاسْتَقِمْ كَمَا أُمِرْتَ ، لأن التفريط في العقيدة -مهما قل - تفريط في الاستقامة، فانتبه!، وخير للعبد أن تُفكّ رقبته ولا يفكّ قبضته عن جمرة التوحيد، فصبره ومعاناته -بل وهلاكه في هذا المقام، هو عين نجاته وسعادته في الدار الآخرة.
ثم كن على يقين بأن هذا الألم الذي يصيبك جراء تمسكك بمنهاج النبوة وقبضك على جمر الإيمان، إنما هو مما تطيقه نفسك، فالعدل -سبحانه- لم يُحمّلك فوق طاقتك مثقال ذرة وهو القائل: {لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ، بل من تمام عدله ورحمته أنه يعينك على ما تحتمله في سبيله، مما هو في طاقتك وييسر لك أسباب الثبات عليه..
Know that if a servant becomes lax and loosens his grip on the ember of Tawhid and the thorn of faith, it slips from his hands in proportion to that laxity. And if a servant grows accustomed to negligence in this matter, his faith slips away and becomes beyond his reach. That is why Allah, the Exalted, forbade: {And do not incline toward those who have wronged} immediately following His command: {So stand firm as you have been commanded}, for negligence in faith, no matter how slight, is negligence in righteousness. So beware! It is better for a servant to have his neck broken than to loosen his grip on the ember of Tawhid. His patience and suffering, indeed, even his destruction in this matter, are the very source of his salvation and happiness in the Hereafter.
Then be certain that this pain which befalls you as a result of your adherence to the Prophetic methodology and your grasp of the embers of faith is only what your soul can bear, for the Just One, Glorified be He, has not burdened you with even an atom’s weight beyond your capacity. He is the One who says: {Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity} Indeed, it is part of His perfect justice and mercy that He assists you in bearing what you can endure in His cause, within your capacity, and facilitates for you the means to persevere in it.."

Al-Ahzab 33:15
وَلَقَدۡ كَانُواْ عَٰهَدُواْ ٱللَّهَ مِن قَبۡلُ لَا يُوَلُّونَ ٱلۡأَدۡبَٰرَۚ وَكَانَ عَهۡدُ ٱللَّهِ مَسۡئُولࣰا
And they had already promised Allah before not to turn their backs [i.e., flee]. And ever is the promise to Allah [that about which one will be] questioned.
Abshiri ya ummati, we are preparing for you strong and gheyāra (protectively jealous) lions who have only known throughout their entire childhood a life in J and the path of sacrifice, having known only purity as a mentality and taqwa as a lifestyle, growing up surrounded by the only people in the world who implemented shar3 Allah on the face of the earth in our generation, having endured through violent campaigns of the a3daa of the deen from the skies, lands and sea, and hunger that made their bones rise to the surface of their skin, these are the ashbaal (lion cubs) of D and what will make you know who the ashbaal of D are! These will be the future knights that raise this ummah above their shoulders and save them from humiliation and misery, باذن الله تعالى ❤️🔥
I wanna tell you guys about something rly cute and actually what should really be the norm but its just so nice to see when it actually does happen,
So we were out and had taken a taxi who's driver picked up a teenage boy looked about 13/14 and spoke russian, so I knew he is one of our ashbaal and one of the russian sisters' sons, anyway, so when we got to my house the driver stepped out to help with the heavy stuff and the rest of the people stepped out also before me as I finished grabbing some bags next to me, and I stepped out the car to notice that same boy had also stepped out before me, to which I thought, "huh, he didn't have to, I mean it wasn't his stop"
And then after I stepped away from the car he went back in.. so then I realized wait, everyone else stepped out of the car before me meaning the boy didn't want to be in a car alone with a woman! Aaaaaand it was like my brain clicked and my heart melted simultaneously :) To see such rujoola (manliness) and piety was refreshing. I love our state I love our sisters and their amazing tarbiya for their kids I love our ashbaaaaal
May Allah make our children righteous and of the sincere and truthful. Ameen
إن الأنامل التي تخط الكلمات قد يراودها حب الظهور، فيراد بها أن يراها فلان من الناس لا وجه الله، وتلك نية كفيلة بأن تجعل من ترجو رؤيته يسخط عليك، فيغدو المرء حينها بين سخطين سخط الله عليه وسخط الناس منه إن تجريد النية يا أخي لأمر صعب مستصعب لا ينجو منه إلا من أدمن الدعاء، وتحرى الصدق في القول والعمل، وجعل من ابتهاله نصيبا لهذه الغاية، فالمقصد الحق ليس نصرة النفس، ولا مجاراة من همز أو لمز بمثله.
قد تنصح وتريد بها وجه الله، ولكن الطرف الآخر يتربص بك الزلل، ويتحين السقطة ليتخذها ذريعة لتسقيطك، إذ قدم حظ نفسه وهواها على النصيحة التي هي عماد الدین كما أوصى المصطفى صلى الله عليه وسلم . فإذا وصل المسلم إلى هذا الدرك، وقعت النكبة، إذ جعل من حظوظ النفس عداوة مع أخيه المسلم ، فكيف إن كان له ظالما؟ إنها الطامة الكبرى، إذ دعوة المظلوم ليس بينها وبين الله حجاب.
تأمل يا أخي، حين بعث النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، معاذا رضي الله عنه إلى قوم من أهل الكتاب، قال له في ختام وصيته (واتق دعوة المظلوم، فإنه ليس بينها وبين الله حجاب). تأمل في جلال هذا الخطاب، يقال لصحابي جليل ( قد رضي الله عنه : اتق دعوة المظلوم)، فما بالك بمن دونه؟ أتدري عمن يحذر ؟ إنه يحذره من دعوة مشرك إن ظلمه فدعا عليه، فكيف بمن يظلم موحدا؟ تأمل يا أخي واتعظ وسل الله الإخلاص في القول والعمل، فإنما الأعمال بالخواتيم.
نسأل الله العظيم رب العرش العظيم أن يجعلنا وإياكم ممن يريدون وجهه، وممن يبتغون الدار الآخرة، وأن يطهر قلوبنا من الرياء، وأعمالنا من الهوى، إنه ولي ذلك والقادر عليه
"The fingers that write words may be driven by a desire for recognition, hoping that a certain person, not for the sake of Allah, will see them; and such an intention is enough to cause the one you hope to see to be displeased with you, and so one finds oneself caught between two forms of displeasure: the displeasure of Allah and the displeasure of people. Stripping away all but the pure intention, my brother, is a difficult and arduous task from which none can escape except those who are devoted to supplication, who seek sincerity in word and deed, and who make their supplications a means to this end.
For the true purpose is not to seek self-glorification, nor to compete with those who mock or ridicule others in the same way. You may offer advice seeking Allah’s pleasure, but the other party lies in wait for your slip, watching for a misstep to use as a pretext to bring you down, having prioritized their own interests and desires over the advice that is the pillar of the religion, as the Chosen One, peace be upon him, advised. If a Muslim reaches this level, disaster strikes, for he has made enmity with his Muslim brother a matter of personal gain. How much worse is it if he is an oppressor? This is the greatest calamity, for the supplication of the oppressed stands between them and Allah without any barrier.
Reflect, my brother, when the Prophet, peace be upon him, sent Mu’adh, may Allah be pleased with him, to a people of the People of the Book, he said to him at the conclusion of his advice, “Fear the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no veil between it and Allah.”
Contemplate the majesty of this statement; it was said to a noble Companion (may Allah be pleased with him): “Fear the supplication of the oppressed.” So what of those below him? Do you know whom he is warning? He is warning him of the supplication of a polytheist if he wrongs him and the polytheist supplicates against him; so how much more so for one who wrongs a monotheist? Reflect, my brother, and take heed, and ask Allah for sincerity in word and deed, for deeds are judged by their outcomes.
We ask Allah, the Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, to make us and you among those who seek His pleasure and those who seek the Hereafter, and to purify our hearts from hypocrisy and our deeds from whims. He is the One Capable of this and the One who can do it."
Did you know that the muj in Iraq, when they were completely exhausted of resources and food and besieged from all sides, they experienced severe dehydration and some ended up drinking urine just to be able to quench their thirst? And yet fools will bark "why haven't they gone to Filistin yet!!"
في الدرب يا يمه قيود واغلال..
وانا ضعيف ولكن الدين غالي..
On the path, Oh mother, there is chains and shackles..
And I am weak, but the religion is (more) precious..
أما المجاهدون وأسراهم في العراق، فهم لا ينتظرون من أحد مظاهرة صاخبة ولا وقفة احتجاجية هم يريدون منكم فقط أن لا تقفوا في طريقهم غدا، ولا تقفوا في صف عدوهم عندما تصل سنابك خيلهم بيت المقدس، كما فعل الذين قبلكم وتحالفوا مع الصليبيين في بغداد ودمشق لحربهم والتاريخ لا يرحم والملائكة الكرام يسجلون.
As for the muj and their imprisoned in Iraq, they do not expect anyone to hold a noisy demonstration or a protest rally. They only want you not to stand in their way tomorrow, and not to side with their enemy when their horses reach Bayt Ul Maqdis, as did those before you who allied with the crvsaders in Baghdad and Damascus to wage w@r against them. History does not have mercy, and the noble angels are recording.

أوه يا أهل العراق من يُطيق ما تطيقون! أوه يا أهل العراق كم خذلكم المتخاذلون أضعاف ما خذلوا الأقصى الحزين، ولكن ثبت وتقرر أنّ من خان بغداد الرشيد لن يعيد مجد حطين، ومن باع دمشق لن يشتري فلسطين
Ohh, people of Iraq, who can bear what you are enduring! Ohh, people of Iraq, how much the traitors have let you down.. far more than they let down the sorrowful Al-Aqsa. But it is clear and certain that those who betrayed Baghdad Ar Rasheed will not restore the glory of Hittin, and those who sold out Damascus will not buy back Palestine.

رويدك، فلم يأتك الأعجب بعد، فصبر أبطال العراق داخل الأسر لا يقل عن صبرهم ،خارجه، إن في بعض قواطع العراق منذ أكثر من عامين لم يأكل المجاهدون المرابطون سوى " الحنطة بغير "ملح ومع ذلك لم يتركوا ثغورهم عهدهم، وهم وما نقضوا الله مع يحتسبون كل هذا الابتلاء في سبيل ربهم، ونصرة لأمة خذلتهم وما زالوا يفدونها ويقودنها إلى صلاح دينها ودنياها،
فواغربتاه يا عراق واغربتاه في العراق مئة ألف بطولة وبطولة إيمانية حقيقية لا تقضي وطر أهل النفاق وشُهاد الزور، ولا تستهوي وسائل إعلامهم ولا عدساتهم العوراء وقنواتهم العمياء.
Wait, for the most wondrous has not reached you. The patience of the heroes of Iraq in captivity is no less than their patience outside. In some regions of Iraq, for more than two years, the steadfast muj have eaten nothing but “wheat without salt,” yet they have not abandoned their posts or broken their covenant. They count all this tribulation as a reward from their Lord, and in support of an ummah that has let them down, yet they continue to sacrifice for it and guide it toward the righteousness of its religion and worldly affairs.
O strangeness, O Iraq, O strangeness! In Iraq there are a hundred thousand acts of heroism and true acts of faith that do not satisfy the desires of the hypocrites and false witnesses, nor are they swayed by their media, their distorted lenses, or their blind channels.

بل هناك ما هو أعجب، في العراق يتهم الأسير المسلم ويدان ويُعدم في نفس يوم صدور لائحة الاتهام! فلا تدري أيهما يسبق الثاني، لائحة الاتهام أم قرار الإعدام؟! مهلا ، فأنت لم ترى العجب بعد، في العراق يُعدم الأسير المسلم بنيران "المقاومة الرافضية " حتى بعد صدور قرار الإفراج عنه لأن الإفراج والإعدام في السجون الرافضية لا يختلفان.
في العراق تُعدم أمهاتنا وأخواتنا الأسيرات المسلمات المؤمنات القانتات العابدات الصابرات، يُعد من صبرا مثل الرجال ولا تطالب مؤسسات "حقوق المرأة" بشيء تجاههن، ولا تُنظم الاعتصامات المسيسة لأجلهن، لأنهن مسلمات على منهاج النبوة ولسن على منهاج فلان وعلان في العراق نسبة الاكتظاظ في السجون الرافضية أزيد من "مئتين في المائة!" إلى درجة وجود نسب وفيات دورية داخل السجون، بسبب الاكتظاظ والأوبئة خصوصا في صيف العراق وما أدراك ما صيف العراق ؟
Rather there is something even more astonishing: in Iraq, a Muslim prisoner is charged, convicted, and executed on the very same day the indictment is issued! You don’t know which comes first - the indictment or the death sentence?! Wait, you haven’t seen the most astonishing part yet: in Iraq, Muslim prisoners are executed by the “Rawafid Resistance” even after a decision to release them has been issued, because in Rawafid prisons, release and execution are one and the same.
In Iraq, our mothers and sisters, Muslim prisoners who are faithful, devout, worshippers, and patient, are executed. They are considered as patient as men, yet “women’s rights” organizations do not demand anything on their behalf, and no politicized sit-ins are organized for them, because they are Muslims following the Prophetic way and not the way of so-and-so in Iraq. The overcrowding rate in the Rafidi prisons exceeds “200 percent!” to the point of periodic death rates within the prisons, due to overcrowding and epidemics, especially during the Iraqi summer—and what will make you know what the Iraqi summer is like?
