Today marks the start of the ten greatest days in the eyes of Allah, during which good deeds are more beloved to Him than at any other time of the year. A sign of sincere faith and love for Allah, the Most Merciful, is to cherish what Allah cherishes and to venerate what Allah honors. These are moments of Divine Grace, so open yourself to receiving His Grace. So, what should we do? Our Lord, in the Hadith Qudsi, says: "My servant does not draw closer to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have obligated upon him." So, do not shift your focus to commended deeds if you are neglecting the obligatory ones. Reflect, and you will find that you’ve been neglecting many obligations, but you have grown so accustomed to this negligence that you no longer notice their absence. For example: • Enjoining good and forbidding wrongdoing within your family circle, relatives, community, work, on social media, and everywhere else. • Learning the essential knowledge that no Muslim can afford to be ignorant of, which is important for sound faith and worship. • Supporting and championing the Mu*jahi-deen —whom all the disbelievers have ganged up on— in every way possible, as vocally as possible. • Repenting to Allah from hypocrisy and sycophancy towards tyrants and criminals, and disassociating from them and their falsehood. • Repenting to Allah for every word of praise you offered a tyrant, every applause you gave for them, lest you become a partner in their genocide, imprisonment of Allah's servants, and their alliance with Allah's enemies, and Allah joins you with them in the abode of humiliation and severe punishment. • Supporting the oppressed in whatever way you can, including our brothers in Sudan, Gaza, and elsewhere. • Dutifulness to parents and reconnection with the family members you have cut off. • Raising your children well to protect them from becoming fuel for the Hellfire. • Striving for excellence in your work, studies, and social roles, whatever they may be, with the intention of pleasing your Lord, elevating your nation, and eventually freeing it from humiliation and disgrace, even though it may take time. • Correcting any wrongs you committed towards others, seeking their forgiveness, and ridding yourself of any haram wealth. • Other good deeds. "...So compete with one another in doing good..." (Qur'an Translated Meaning 2:148), "....Take ˹necessary˺ provisions ˹for the journey˺—surely the best provision is righteousness..." (Qur'an Translated Meaning 2:197) May Allah help us and you, dear brothers and sisters, to do good deeds, and may they be accepted.

School teachers who educate Muslim children about international law and international agreements: If you fear Allah and have piety concerning the children, it is your duty to teach them that all of this is nonsense, rubbish, and akin to an idol made of dates. These are tools used by powerful countries to enslave the world and then discard them in the nearest trash bin. Teach our children that Allah Almighty has commanded Muslims to pursue means of strength because in this world only the language of power is understood. Without the sovereignty of Allah's law on earth, there is neither justice nor security. Teach them the truth, and do not let the concern for your job prevent you from doing so.

Sheikh Mahmoud Shaker, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "Had it not been for the constant echoing of the Quran in the ears, and had it not been for the word of Tawheed entrenched in the hearts of its men and women, the Ummah's cohesion would have crumbled under the calamities just as the beads fall off a necklace with a weak and worn cord" [Jamharat Al-Maqalat]. He is indeed right! For what the Ummah is facing would collapse mountains were it not for Allah's reinforcement through the Qur'an and Tawheed.

This statement is concurrent with the intensified Israeli massacres using US missiles. Is anyone with half a brain still deceived by them, or wants to imitate them or promote their ideas?!

This is what the American politician Nikki Haley (former US ambassador to the UN and the current governor of South Carolina) wrote on the rockets that are dropped on our brothers in Gaza: "Finish them! America ❤️ Israel" Keep these spiteful hatreds in your memory.

📌 We must keep reminding ourselves that the nail of one of our brethren in this picture is better than all those Kuffar, hypocrites, traitors, and criminals fighting against them. Then why doesn't Allah stop their killing and destroy their enemy if that's the case❓ "...so that Allah may reveal the ˹true˺ believers, choose martyrs from among you..." (Qur'an translated meanings 3:140) And because this world is a place of trial, not a place of reward, and the complete establishment of justice will be on the Day of Judgment:  "And We place the scales of justice for the Day of Resurrection, so no soul will be treated unjustly at all. And if there is [even] the weight of a mustard seed, We will bring it forth. Sufficient are We as accountant." (Quran translated meaning 21:47)

Do you remember when these people used to tell us about "children's rights" and push to enact laws that help spread obscenity among young men and women and break down families? Do you remember when the Arab states' representatives were questioned by the UN about the progress their countries have made in what they call "marital rape", and the representatives answered in complete degradation and humiliation?  Do you remember how they hounded us over the past few years with their gender speech in the lead-up to "g@y rights"?! These are the same people that supply the criminal entity with the weapons by which they burn the children, women, and men of Gaza; decap!tate, cut off their limbs, and shred them to pieces as seen in the Rafah massacre. So May Allah's curse be upon them and whoever promotes their rubbish ideas.

Some cowards have been hunted and others have been caught like rats in [Gaza's] tunnels, so they poured their vengeance on the women and children in the camps in the Rafah massacre; backed by Arab and non-Arab criminals. To every individual that obstructs the championing of our brothers, takes part in cracking down on them, and provides the cowardly enemy in any way, shape, or form: This is all recorded in your book of disgraces... If you perish and don't repent, you will be among those who are told: "'Step away ˹from the believers˺ this Day, O  wicked ones!'" (Qur'an translated meaning 36:59)

The media distracts people from important matters with trivialities. Among such trivialities:  1. The International Criminal Court calls for arrest warrants, putting criminals on the same level as the victims. 2. The global responses to the futile demand. 3. The recognition by numerous countries of the 'State of Palestine,' led by the disgraceful authority that complies with the criminal occupiers and acts according to their directives! 4. The global responses to this recognition. Throw all this in the trash and pay attention to what matters: The buckets of blood spilt daily in Gaza... The bursting of pregnant women's bellies due to the bombing, causing fetuses to come out... Hundreds of thousands suffering from hunger, thirst, and sickness... The cowardly army that fails to face men continuing its crimes against the helpless; backed by Arab and non-Arabs traitors alike. Don't let the media distract you from all this with petty matters.
