https://youtu.be/zjnJyDO3HVg?feature=shared An excellent lecture by our brother Abū Sulaymān (may Allāh preserve him). The topic of sisterhood is one of great importance. We have seen and heard many stories over the years of sisters not being made to feel welcome in masājid, being shunned and looked down upon for not being dressed like other sisters. We need to remind ourselves not to aid the shaytān in driving people away from the masājid. The fact that such a sister has come to the masjid is a great blessing which most likely required a battle. Remember how you (the one driving people away) was once misguided and perhaps in a worse situation. كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَیۡكُمۡ فَتَبَیَّنُوۤا۟ۚ “As he is now, so were you yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to Islam), therefore, be cautious in discrimination”. (4:94) Imām As-Sa’dī rahimahullāh said in his tafsīr of this verse: “So just as Allāh guided you after your misguidance likewise He guides others beside you”. This also applies to brothers who drive others away from the masājid.

Translated by our brother Abū ‘Āishah Yāsīn (may Allāh reward him).

قال عمر بن عبد العزيز - رحمه الله تعالى - : ما رأيتُ يقينًا أشبه بالشكّ من يقينِ النّاس بالموتِ ثمّ لا يستعدّونَ له. [ تفسير القرطبي ٦٤/١٠ ] ‘Umar bin ‘Abdilazīz rahimahullāh said: “I have never seen certainty more like doubt than when people are certain of death and then do not prepare for it”.

إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون The Shaykh, ‘Alī bin Nāsir Faqīhī has passed away. The shaykh was from the senior scholars who taught in the prophet’s masjid. We ask Allāh that He forgives him, has mercy upon him, raises his rank in Jannah and allow for his works to be a continuous charity for him.
