MAY ALLĀH SAVE US 🤲

May Allah save us. May Allah save us. May Allah save us.

We truly need to keep repeating this. We ask Allah for safety, well-being, and protection: نسأل الله السلامة والعافية، نسأل الله السلامة والعافية، نسأل الله السلامة والعافية In these times, an era filled with various trials that threaten to snatch away our faith, our adherence to the Sunnah, and our steadfastness, we must ensure that we hold firmly to our greatest weapon: constantly calling upon Allah to protect and save us. The Prophet (ﷺ) made this supplication frequently. Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) reported that the supplication the Prophet (ﷺ) made most frequently was:

اللَّهُمَّ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ، ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ Yā Muqallibal-qulūb, thabbit qalbī ʿalā dīnik. “O Turner of the hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.”

When Umm Salamah (رضي الله عنها) asked him why he made this duʿāʾ so often, the Prophet (ﷺ) replied:

“O Umm Salamah! There is no human being whose heart is not between two Fingers of Allah. He whom He wills, He establishes (on the right path), and he whom He wills, He deviates.”

(Tirmidhi) I urge you: Stay firm. The Prophet (ﷺ) gave a profound piece of advice to the Anṣār regarding patience during trying times, telling them to remain patient until they met him at the Ḥawḍ (the Prophet’s Pool). I am reminding myself first, and then everyone reading this: Stay firm until you meet the Prophet (ﷺ) at the Ḥawḍ. One of the greatest ways to maintain that steadfastness is to humbly and persistently turn to your Creator and pray. “May Allah save me, protect my faith, and keep me and every Muslim steadfast upon His religion until we meet Him.” آمِين يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

Listen, listen, listen... Mashāyikh: Sulaymān Ar-Ruhayli 'Alī Nāṣir Al-Faqihī 'Abdurraḥmān Al-Barrāk Muḥammad Hishām Muḥammad Amān Badī'ud Dīn Sindī Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān 'Abdurrazzāq Al-Badr and more... They all harshly warned against photography. Is this sternness? No, by Allāh!! It's giving preference to what pleases Allāh, but the problem is because of how popular this has become today. إذا كثر الإمساس قل الإحساس I only wrote this to let you know what the video contains; I still advise you to listen.

انتبهوا This is not just the position of Yaḥyā Al-Ḥajūrī, Rabī' Al-Madkhalī, as they claim; it's the position of the majority of the scholars of Sunnah. Al-Fawzān described those who hold the position of permissibility as people of desires; look how stern he was.

I love the first part where Shaykh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhayli speaks about this issue. He explains why people eventually take the weak position that Taṣwīr is permissible. I advise you to listen and seek the truth and only the truth.

﷽ Over time, I have received quite a number of messages from people asking me how I create my videos, produce my audios, design my content, and go about the different things I share online. Some have asked about the tools I use, others about my methods, and some have expressed a desire to learn how I do these things. I have received these requests on several occasions, and I have finally decided to respond to them by creating this channel.

Welcome to The Salafi Creator.

This is where, in shā’ Allāh, I intend to share how I create my content, the tools and systems I work with, the lessons I have learnt, and the processes behind some of my projects. I also intend to organise educational programs, teach those who are interested in learning, share my work, and make myself available for suitable creative projects, in shā’ Allāh. Rather than answering similar questions individually, I hope this channel will serve as a place where I can share these things with everyone who is interested.

A PRODUCTIVITY TIP 👌 💪 Tomorrow is Monday, and a lot of you probably need a productivity tip so that you can repel laziness and have enough energy to carry out your activities by the will of Allāh. Before I share this wonderful productivity tip you will never find in "Atomic Habits" or "Deep Work," you first need to know that no matter your effort, you need Allāh's help to fulfill your tasks. A poet said: إذا لم يكن عون من الله للفتى فأول ما يجني عليه اجتهاده (If there is no help from Allāh for a youth, Then the first thing that brings him harm is his own striving.) After knowing this, here's a 100% certain 3-step tip to get your full energy. It came in the Ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah in Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "يَعْقِدُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى قَافِيَةِ رَأْسِ أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا هُوَ نَامَ ثَلَاثَ عُقَدٍ، يَضْرِبُ كُلَّ عُقْدَةٍ مَكَانَهَا: عَلَيْكَ لَيْلٌ طَوِيلٌ فَارْقُدْ، فَإِنِ اسْتَيْقَظَ فَذَكَرَ اللَّهَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ تَوَضَّأَ انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَإِنْ صَلَّى انْحَلَّتْ عُقْدَةٌ، فَأَصْبَحَ نَشِيطًا طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ، وَإِلَّا أَصْبَحَ خَبِيثَ النَّفْسِ كَسْلَانَ" "Satan ties three knots at the back of the head of any of you when he goes to sleep, striking every knot with the words: 'You have a long night, so sleep.' If he wakes up and remembers Allāh, one knot is undone; if he performs ablution (Wudūʾ), the second knot is undone; and if he prays, the third knot is undone. He then wakes up energetic and in a good state of mind; otherwise, he wakes up lazy and in a bad state of mind." In this Ḥadīth, we learn 3 steps: * Remembering Allāh (Dhikr): Saying the supplications of waking up immediately after opening your eyes. * Performing Wudūʾ: Purifying yourself physically and spiritually. * Praying: Establishing your morning Salāh. Do these three and see the wonders, In shāʾ Allāh. Bārakallāhu fīkum, may Allāh grant us a good day. 🖊 Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

﷽ قواعد في العلاقات (٣) القاعدة الثالثة: الحكم بالظاهر Judging People by What Is Apparent One of the fundamental principles that preserves relationships and protects people from injustice is to judge them according to what is apparent from their words and actions, while entrusting their hidden intentions and inner realities to Allāh تعالى. Claiming to know what lies within people's hearts is a grave transgression. The Sharīʿah established this principle to protect people's rights, preserve their honour, and prevent suspicion from becoming a means of oppression. Were people left to judge one another according to their assumptions about hidden intentions, relationships would become unbearable, rights would be lost, and blood would be shed. Allāh is the All-Wise and All-Knowing; He knows what rectifies the affairs of His servants and has prescribed for them what protects their interests. Regarding the statement of the Prophet ﷺ:

أَفَلَا شَقَقْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ حَتَّى تَعْلَمَ أَقَالَهَا أَمْ لَا؟ "Did you split open his heart so that you could know whether he had said it or not?"

Imām al-Nawawī رحمه الله explained in his commentary on Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim:

وَمَعْنَاهُ أَنَّكَ إِنَّمَا كُلِّفْتَ بِالْعَمَلِ بِالظَّاهِرِ وَمَا يَنْطِقُ بِهِ اللِّسَانُ، وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ طَرِيقٌ إِلَى مَعْرِفَةِ مَا فِيهِ، فَأَنْكَرَ عَلَيْهِ امْتِنَاعَهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ بِمَا ظَهَرَ بِاللِّسَانِ

"Its meaning is that you are only required to act according to what is apparent and what the tongue utters. As for the heart, you have no way of knowing what is within it. Thus, the Prophet ﷺ rebuked him for refusing to act upon what had become apparent through the tongue." This principle was demonstrated in the life of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ himself. On one occasion, the Prophet ﷺ purchased a horse from a Bedouin who subsequently denied the transaction. When Khuzaymah ibn Thābit رضي الله عنه testified in favour of the Prophet ﷺ, the Prophet ﷺ made his testimony equivalent to that of two men. This incident demonstrates the importance of evidence and testimony in establishing people's rights, rather than relying upon mere assumptions or claims about hidden intentions. Imām Ash-Shāṭibī رحمه الله stated in Al-Muwāfaqāt:

أَصْلُ الْحُكْمِ بِالظَّاهِرِ مَقْطُوعٌ بِهِ فِي الْأَحْكَامِ خُصُوصًا، وَبِالنِّسْبَةِ إِلَى الِاعْتِقَادِ فِي الْغَيْرِ عُمُومًا أَيْضًا، فَإِنَّ سَيِّدَ الْبَشَرِ ﷺ مَعَ إِعْلَامِهِ بِالْوَحْيِ يَجْرِي الْأُمُورَ عَلَى ظَوَاهِرِهَا فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَغَيْرِهِمْ، وَإِنْ عَلِمَ بَوَاطِنَ أَحْوَالِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ بِمُخْرِجِهِ عَنْ جَرَيَانِ الظَّوَاهِرِ عَلَى مَا جَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ

"The principle of judging according to what is apparent is decisively established, particularly in legal rulings, and also generally concerning what one believes about others. For the Master of Humanity ﷺ, despite being informed through revelation, dealt with people according to what was apparent in their circumstances, including the hypocrites and others, even when he knew the inner realities of their conditions. That knowledge did not cause him to abandon the established application of outward judgments." Reference: Ash-Shāṭibī, Al-Muwāfaqāt, 2/271 Shaykh ʿAbdul-ʿAzīz ibn Bāz رحمه الله stated:

فَهَذِهِ الْأَحَادِيثُ وَالْآيَاتُ فِيهَا الدَّلَالَةُ عَلَى إِجْرَاءِ أُمُورِ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى الظَّوَاهِرِ، وَأَمَّا الْقُلُوبُ فَإِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، فَيُحْكَمُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهُمْ، وَتُوكَلُ سَرَائِرُهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ

"These hadiths and verses indicate that people's affairs are to be dealt with according to what is apparent. As for their hearts, they are for Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. People are judged according to what appears from them, while their hidden realities are entrusted to Allah." He further clarified that this principle does not mean ignoring evidence that contradicts what initially appeared. If a person's conduct reveals something contrary to the apparent state, the ruling must take that evidence into account. Otherwise, the basic principle is that people are dealt with according to what they manifest, except where hypocrisy has been established. (https://binbaz.org.sa/audios/2403/141). How Does This Preserve Relationships? This principle teaches us several important lessons: - Do not claim knowledge of people's intentions. You may dislike someone's action without claiming certainty about the intention behind it. - Do not let suspicion override evidence. A possibility is not the same as an established fact. - Distinguish between judging an action and judging a person's heart. An action may be wrong without your knowing everything that motivated it. - Do not ignore clear evidence. Judging by what is apparent does not mean overlooking established wrongdoing or refusing to protect people from harm. - Entrust hidden realities to Allah. We are accountable for what we say and do, not for uncovering what Allah has concealed from us. Conclusion A Muslim should not build his relationships upon suspicion, imagined intentions, or unsupported accusations. Rather, he should be just, cautious in his judgments, and mindful of the limits of his knowledge. Judge what is apparent, investigate fairly when necessary, and leave what is hidden to Allah. By observing this principle, we protect people's honour, preserve their rights, and prevent our relationships from being destroyed by assumptions and suspicion. والله أعلم. 🖊 Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

Why should we pray for YEMEN 🇾🇪? Some very important reasons It is an absolute necessity for every Muslim to raise their hands and pray for our brothers and sisters in Yemen. For those who want to know why this is so deeply important, here are the core reasons: * The Prophet (ﷺ) Prayed for It The Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) specifically singled out Yemen for his blessed supplication. He stood and said: اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي شَامِنَا، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي يَمَنِنَا "O Allāh, bless us in our Shām! O Allāh, bless us in our Yemen!" (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī) If the Prophet of Allāh (ﷺ) loved Yemen enough to beg Allāh to bless it, it is our duty to pray for it when it is bleeding. * The Muslims Are One Body Yemen is a land of Muslims, and the Ummah is indivisible. The Prophet (ﷺ) explicitly described our bond, saying: مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى مِنْهُ عُضْوٌ تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ الْجَسَدِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى "The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever." (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) When Yemen feels pain and harm, every sincere Muslim must feel that ache. * We Are Commanded to Pray for the Oppressed It is a religious duty to make Duʿāʾ for Muslims when calamity strikes them. The Prophet (ﷺ) assured us of the power of this hidden prayer: "The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence will certainly be answered. Every time he makes a supplication for good for his brother, the angel appointed for this particular task says: 'Āmīn! May it be for you, too.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) When disastrous events happen, believers rush to support their brethren with the greatest weapon they have: supplication. * Yemen is the Origin of the Arabs Historically, Yemen is the cradle of the original Arabs (Al-ʿArab al-ʿĀribah). The tribes of Qaḥṭān originated there, and the Arabs are the foundational people of Islām who carried the religion to the corners of the earth. Honoring the roots of the people who carried this religion is part of recognizing the history of our Ummah. * It is a Land of Great Scholars From the time of the Revelation until today, Yemen has continuously produced mountains of knowledge. This unbroken chain started with noble Companions and preservers of the Sunnah like Abū Hurayrah and Abū Mūsā Al-Ashʿarī, extending to brilliant standard-bearers of later generations like Imām aṣ-Ṣanʿānī, Imām ash-Shawkānī, and ʿAbd al-Raḥmān bin Yaḥyā al-Muʿallimī. This rich legacy continues into our times with the Reviver of the Sunnah in Yemen, Shaykh Muqbil bin Hādī al-Wādiʿī, Shaykh Yaḥyā al-Ḥajūrī, the resilient students of knowledge in Dammāj, and many other scholars spread across the country who hold firmly to Tawḥīd. * The Directives of Our Scholars Allāh informs us that when great matters or crises occur, we must refer them back to those firmly grounded in knowledge. When we look to the scholars of the Sunnah regarding this crisis, they direct us to earnest supplication. As the noble scholar Shaykh Sulaymān ar-Ruḥaylī stated clearly: it is an obligation upon every Muslim. For those of us who are outside the war and not physically on the battlefield, our duty is to make abundant, continuous supplication for our brothers and sisters in Yemen. Keep them in your prayers, in your prostrations (Sujūd), and in the depths of the night. اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ، وَفَرِّجْ هَمَّهُمْ، وَارْحَمْ ضُعَفَاءَهُمْ، وَاشْفِ مَرْضَاهُمْ، وَأَطْعِمْ جَائِعَهُمْ، وَآمِنْ خَائِفَهُمْ، وَارْحَمْ مَوْتَاهُمْ، وَارْزُقْهُمْ الْأَمْنَ وَالسَّلَامَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ. Āmīn, Yā Rabb al-ʿĀlamīn. 🤲🇾🇪 https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

What's happening in YEMEN 🇾🇪? In the ongoing events of Yemen, a war is taking place between the people of Islām and Tawḥīd against transgressors from the people of innovations and Shirk known as the Ḥouthis, who have committed and continue to commit various atrocities. I list a few of their [recent, undeniable ones] here—and I emphasize that they are undeniable deliberately, because many are so stubborn they will try to deny things that are clearer than the sun: * Attacking Makkah: Specifically targeting the vicinity of the Sacred Mosque, which bears a clear resemblance to the action of Abraha, about whom Allāh revealed an entire Surah describing his destruction and that of his companions. * Attacking Madīnah: They attacked Madīnah and planned to cause harm to the Mosque of the Prophet, but Allāh ruined their plan. As the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) warned regarding the severe punishment for such transgressions:

"Whoever intends to do harm to the people of Madīnah, Allāh will melt him like salt melting in water."

* The Siege of Dammāj: They attacked Dammāj, targeting the people of Allāh, the students of knowledge, and the memorizers of the Qurʾān. They placed them under a severe siege (ḥiṣār) for months, drove them from their homes, and killed them, including innocent children, women, scholars and even foreign students of knowledge. * General Atrocities: This is something known to every citizen of Yemen—their endless crimes ranging from killing Muslims, exploding bombs in mosques, and seizing mosques from the people, to the killing of children and various other evils. Their atrocities cannot be counted in one day, let alone in one sitting, not to speak of this concise write-up. This is just a little compared to their ruined creed (ʿAqīdah). It is truly ruined. I am going to write another piece soon detailing who they really are, and who is truly fighting against them. But this write-up is simply to let people know what is actually happening on the ground. Unto those who are still going to find a fault in this—despite how concise it is, how true it is, and how known and clear it is to everyone—I have nothing else to say to you than this line of poetry:

قد تنكر العين ضوء الشمس من رمد وينكر الفم طعم الماء من سقم Meaning: (Find it yourself, because I know most of you who'll find a fault in this don't even understand Arabic. May Allāh guide us and you.)

Additional Benefit for Revive a Sunnah (5) — Welcoming the Rain https://t.me/abdullprod/817 I benefited from an excellent additional point regarding our 5th Sunnah, shared by one of the brothers (may Allah preserve him). He highlighted a beautiful passage from Shaykh Muḥammad bn Ibrāhīm Aalush-Sheikh in his book Sharḥ Adab Al-Masyi Ilaṣ-Ṣalāh:

(ويستحب أن يقف في أول المطر) يعني لا سيما إذا كان أول مطر في السنة بعد الاستسقاء، مع أنه مستحب الوقوف عند كل مطر. وذكر بعضهم أنه مستحب الحسر عن الرأس، وأظنه جاء في حديث أنه فعل ذلك، وقال: «إنه حديث عهد بربه» ١ (ويخرج رحله وثيابه ليصيبها المطر) وكذلك يخرج رحله يعني متاعه ليصيبه والرحل القش. فمثل الشداد وبعض الأشياء فهذا مما يستحب يعني رجاء أن ينال رحله وبدنه البركة (ويخرج إلى الوادي إذا سال ويتوضأ) يندب أنه إذا سال وادٍ

Simple Translation

“And it is recommended to stand in the first of the rain,” meaning, especially if it is the first rain of the year after the prayer for rain, though it is recommended to stand during every rain. Some scholars mentioned that it is recommended to uncover the head, and I think this came in a Hadith that he did so and said: “Because it has just recently come from its Lord.” “And he brings out his gear and garments for the rain to hit them,” meaning his everyday belongings, hoping that his gear and body receive blessing.

“And he goes out to the valley if it flows and performs Wuḍū…” Benefits Derived from this Quote

1. The Timing

The most emphasised time is immediately when the first rain of the year begins, particularly after the prayer for rain. However, the recommendation to stand in the rain applies whenever rain falls, not only during the first rainfall of the year.

2. Uncovering the Head

Some scholars mentioned that uncovering the head is recommended so that the rain can touch it. This is connected to the Prophet’s ﷺ action and his statement that the rain is “recently come from its Lord.”

3. Bringing Belongings Outside

The Sunnah is not limited to allowing the rain to touch your physical body. It is also recommended to bring out one's clothing, belongings, tools, and other everyday items so that the rain touches them as well, hoping that they receive its blessing.

4. Making Wuḍū with Rainwater

If the rain becomes heavy enough that water begins to flow through valleys or streams, it is recommended to go out and perform Wuḍū with this freshly descended rainwater. May Allah allow us to revive these beautiful Sunnahs and to appreciate the blessings He sends down upon us. آمين. 🖊 Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod

​"To the believing men and women everywhere, your support for your brothers in Yemen is through supplication, so [I urge you to make] supplication, supplication. Shaykhul-Islām Ibn Taymiyyah - may Allah have mercy on him - said: 'And the Muslims in the east of the earth and its west, their hearts are one, loyal to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and to His believing servants, and hostile to the enemies of Allah and His Messenger and the enemies of the religion. Their sincere hearts and righteous supplications are the army that cannot be defeated and the soldiers who will not be forsaken.'" ✏️ Shaykh Sulaymān Ar-Ruhayli حفظه الله Tr. Abū 'Abdillāh Abdullateef bn Hussein https://t.me/yatullabilm/607

O Allah, we have no might, no power, and no strength except through You. We are weak, and You are the Strong; we are helpless, and You are the Helper. O Allah, from Your vast mercy, aid our brothers and sisters in Yemen. Strengthen them, protect them, grant them patience, and grant them victory over those who oppress them. O Allah, raise high the banner of Islam and Sunnah, and cause the banner of falsehood to fall. Destroy the strength of falsehood and those who wage war against Your servants. O Allah, be their Protector and Helper, grant them relief and security, and grant victory to the people of truth. Āmīn. https://t.me/abdullprod

Alḥamdulillāh, good news coming from Yemen 🇾🇪 Don't forget to continue making Du'a for the Muslims. There is nothing more honourable to Allah the Almighty than Du'a. (Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

Make use of these mobile phones and these platforms to spread the religion of Allah and call people to it. Al-'Allāmah Ṣāliḥ Al-Fawzān — may Allah preserve him — said: “Social media is an opportunity for you to seize. Do not leave it to the evil ones and those who call people to misguidance.” The Importance of Correct Creed (23/7/1437 AH) 📲 Mobile phones are like boxes: they can either become a source of ongoing good deeds or ongoing sins.

DO NOT TAKE THEIR PICTURES 📵 ﷽ The Prophet 🕋 said:

"لعن الله المصورين" (Allah has cursed the image-makers).

[Narrated by Abū Juḥaifah 🇧🇳; Sahīh Al-Bukhāri] It is deeply saddening that picture-making has become one of our greatest trials today. While scholars have clarified this issue exhaustively, one specific grievance remains: taking and sharing pictures of the very scholars who strictly forbid it, without their consent. For example, Shaykh Al-Albāni 🇧🇬 and his student Shaykh Muqbil 🇧🇬 both held that photography and videography fall under the prohibition of Taswīr. Yet, people still circulate their pictures across social media today. Furthermore, several eminent scholars have explicitly warned against taking their pictures, including: • Imām Ibn Bāz 🇧🇬 • Al-'Allāmah Sālih As-Suhaimy 🇧🇼 • Al-'Allāmah Sālih Al-Fawzān 🇧🇼 • Al-'Allāmah Sulaymān Ar-Ruhayli 🇧🇼 • Al-'Allāmah 'Abdurraḥmān Al-Barrāk 🇧🇼 ...along with the majority of the scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah. Even among the very few who permit videos strictly for Daʿwah purposes, a clear distinction must be drawn: videos are not photographs, and Daʿwah is not celebrity culture. Therefore, I advise my brothers and sisters to fear Allah and refrain from sharing pictures of the scholars. Consider the profound advice of Al-Imām Ibn 'Uthaymīn 🇧🇬—whom many falsely use as a shield to justify photography. He stated:

"It is not permissible for a person to take a photograph of someone except with his permission, even if he knows that this person holds the view that taking photographs is permissible."

[Sharḥ Bulūgh, v.15, p.329] If this applies to someone who permits it, how much more severe is the violation against scholars who deem it entirely impermissible⁉️ Bārakallāhu fīkum. اللهم أرنا الحق حقا وارزقنا اتباعه وأرنا الباطل باطلا وارزقنا اجتنابه ✏️ Ibn Hussein https://t.me/abdullprod https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7DEAN3wtb1ZgbMFo1k

I'm amazed at those people who make videos of scholars and pass them around. Are they not afraid of the scholar's du'a against them? More importantly, are they not afraid of the Curse of Allah?
