Every single experience of your life. Every single breath. Every single problem, pain, change of plan and heartbreak was supposed to lead you to this exact moment. You're not late. You're not early. You're right on time dear friend.
Stop overthinking
“If you take a woman to be your wife, be a father, mother, and brother to her, because she is leaving her father, her mother, and her brothers in order to be with you. (1/2)
My father used to say to me: “in religion always look at those above you and In worldly matter always look at those below you. If you look below in religion, you’ll stay content with misguidance. If you look above in worldly matters, you’ll never be satisfied with your blessings”
This ayyah is placed so interestingly, for me it’s nothing short of a miracle. 🧵
I opened Surah Taha randomly in masjid ul haraam once and started reading:
🔴 Musa عليه السلام requests Allah that He make his brother, Haroon عليه السلام, his vizier (Ayah 29)

The scholars of Syria would even help *prostitutes* to quit this sin. Imam Badrud Din Al Hassani used to do the same. They would also help them get married.
You calling someone a hoe wouldn’t bring them back to Allah
Allah chose the best woman of her time, Ummuna Khadijatul Kubra رضي الله عنها, as the first wife of Rasool Allah ﷺ. She was who was already married twice before, having children from those marriages. Allah chose this to show: (1/3)
When i was sitting in the courtyard of masjid nabawi last year, i was thinking to myself: even though I am so far from the blessed grave, there’s a chance that when the wind blows it touched it and then it might reach me and the atoms that touched the blessed rawdah-
Let me tell you a secret about the two pillars next to ar rawdah as shareef from Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Kitaab Al Adhkaar of Imam Nawawi, Shifa us siqaam of Imam Taqi ud Din As Subki etc 🧵
I can’t describe how many times has this ayah played in my head whenever I am in trouble
This ayah alone is enough proof for me that the Noble Qur’an is from Allah
When I used to walk on Ibrahim Al Khalil road in Makkah to go to Masjid Al Haraam (🕋), there comes a point before the clock tower where people would put bread on the floor for birds to eat.
Sometimes I’d see rats eating there as well. And I’d think to myself (1/3)
I still remember the days when i was a teenager, reading through and used to think my father knows absolutely NOTHING about religion.
I literally forgot that that man was the one who held my hand and took me to the first Jummuah of my life

Reminder: sins remove barakah (blessing) in rizk, bring darkness to the heart and the face, make worship harder and removes gina (serenity)
Don’t do it bruh. It’s not worth it
The pleasure connected to sinning is short lived…while its harms persist. Sins literally have physical effects on the body and even greater effects on the soul.
Allah ﷻ gives us blessings so we can thank Him…but instead we use the same blessing to disobey Him
It was like Allah reminding him (and us) that all of our life experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad, the happy, the heartbreaking and rejuvenating ones…they all happen just so Allah can bring you where He wants you to arrive and for me…it was the 🕋 (5/5)
And as I grew older and matured, I just realised he MUCHHH more wise than me. And MUCHHH more knowledgeable than a kid scrolling the internet.
I see the same sentiment on twitter xD
رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيرا
(2/2)
How (Kareem) Gracious is the Rabb who invites the sinners to His house, the ones who openly disobey Him despite their internal states being dirtier than the rats roaming on the streets of Makkah
We thank Allah for blessing us to thank Him despite our sins. (3/3)
This might be the most important tweet of this account!
Here Shaykh Ash-Shaheed Ramadan Al Bouti is teaching the adaab (manners) of how to make dua’ (supplication) by recalling the dua’ of Zakriyyah AS
⬇️ lecture translated by me
Last night I was told:
An imam was giving friday khutbah in the states and a guy stood up and kept standing for the entire khutbah. The imam said this annoyed him alot but he kept quiet.
Later he was told in the shafi’i madhab you can stand in the khutbah out of adab
(1/2)
Guys: treat your wives, daughters, sisters and mothers well. Be kind to them and speak to them with compassion and sympathy. Use your emotional intelligence when dealing with them.
Not giving them their rights will literally land you in hell.
(1/2)
Sheikh Ramadan Al-Bouti RA said: “It is not the eloquence and choice of words that touch a person’s heart. It’s the state of the heart that affects the other person listening to those words. (1/4)
One of my favourite Hadith on salawaat/durood
If you want a life full of blessings and khayr/goodness and guidance, recite abundant salaam on the most beloved ﷺ
might also bless the atoms of my body…
And then I had an epiphany: what if this breeze travels the world, by the command of Allah, and touches the ones beloved to him ﷺ?
Have you noticed how in ahadith it is always قال رسول اللّٰه ﷺ?
Even in the Quran Allah does not call him by his name without saying Rasool, except at one occasion, which itself is surah Muhammad.
I dislike for myself to take his blessed name due to this reason
Imam Malik used to walk barefoot in Madinah: “How dare I walk on these land with shoes while the most sacred body of the prophet lays here”
Imam Malik used to go outside Madinah to answer’s nature’s call
The love he had for Rasool Allah ﷺ…as a Hanafi I revere him and love him
As a divine wisdom, that His qadr in taking something from you is not Him humiliating you, but can sometimes be to bless you with something even better. Also to show the best of the woman of the world can be a widow. Also to alleviate the status of a widow in the society (2/3)
Shaykh made me recite this ayah in class and said: “if Allah were to give us everything we wanted, we would’ve only rebelled. Allah knows how much to give and to whom. See how much Allah already blesses us and how little thankful we are to Him”
Therefore, it is right that she see in you the graciousness of a father, the tenderness of a mother, and the gentleness of a brother. Then you will be a husband who is granted success.”

“Allah provides these rats with rizq and they get to live their whole life in the blessed city of Makkah close to the Haram. They do not disobey their Rabb, yet I as a muslim do despite being fed by the same Rabb.
Instantly I would think to myself (2/3)
Imam Bukhari lost his eyesight when he was a child. His mother used to cry all night in tahajjud praying to Allah.
So one night she saw Sayyiduna Ibrahim عليه السلام who said to her: “Indeed, Allah has restored your sons eyesight because of your excessive crying.” فردّ بصره
The Greatest Scholars of our Ummah:
Bukhāri and Shāfī: pushed to knowledge by their mothers.
Ibn Hajr: cultivated by his sister.
Ibn Taymiyyah: got his nickname from his grandmother (Taymiyyah) due to her influence upon him.
"Righteous Women Produce Righteous Men."
“A layman is not a dummy. It just means he’s doing his 9-5 and not engaging in studying shariah. If he were to delve into scholarship, he might become a better faqeeh than the rest of us.” -Dr. Shadee Al Masry
I used to sit in this courtyard, read kitab ash shifa of Qadi Iyyad and recite salawaat while looking at the green dome, thinking to myself my beloved ﷺ would be replying to each one of them.
I understood the true meaning of pure love while sat in this courtyard
And many more wisdoms, such that the divine wisdoms of Allah can’t be truly fathomed nor encompassed. But we can only try to uncover only few with our minds (3/3)
What made me fall in love with Imam Maalik:
Imam Maalik never used to leave Madinah, lest he died outside it.
He learnt hadith from possibly all hadith masters of his time, except one in Makkah. And it wasn’t like he didn’t visit Makkah. He went once for Hajj (1/2)
Icl I have felt him nearly tearing up multiple times while he’s teaching us Bukhari Shareef.
May Allah preserve our shaykh, bless him and keep him safe ❤️
Secrets of the rawdah mubarak part 2 🧵
Do you know the lock on the door to the blessed rawdah has a verse from the famous Qaseedah Burdah written on it?
Let me tell you a secret about the two pillars next to ar rawdah as shareef from Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Kitaab Al Adhkaar of Imam Nawawi, Shifa us siqaam of Imam Taqi ud Din As Subki etc 🧵
And the person standing was a shafi’i and for him it was adab and the imam giving the khutbah wasn’t a shafi’i so he didn’t know.
I was told: seek knowledge and it’ll broaden your horizons and you’ll become receptive of opposing views.
This was a good message worth sharing

I have seen miracles happening and duas being answered the moment you get close to Rawdah Mubarak. The miracles of my Beloved ﷺ continue.
Wallahi you’re still alive wallahi you’re still alive wallahi you’re still alive. But we cannot perceive nor understand your station.
This hadith was solely responsible for making me realise a few years ago that all 4 madhabs are CORRECT. If you follow any of them, you’d get to the truth.
Difference of opinion is actually a proof of divine inspiration of shariah, because (1/2)
Tell them about Banu Quraidah and how Rasool Allah ﷺ said you’d be rewarded as long as you try to follow me. Tell them difference of opinion in fiqh is natural and is a divine mercy from Allah.
Also read to them this thread of mine
The ‘male-based fiqh’:
-if the husband is stingy, she can take from his wallet the amount she needs for her needs as per ‘urf
-she is not obliged to provide provisions from her dowry that her father gave her and it is her property
-a husband has no right to wife’s property
The 'male-biased fiqh':
-The husband is obliged to buy/hire a maid for the wife to do the household chores (if she is from a high social status)
-The wife is not obliged to cook for guests or for her husband's parents
-She can refuse sex or request divorce if nafaqah is not paid
4 books that I consider mandatory reading for every muslim to read, especially MT.
And these are basic books and don’t require any prerequisite knowledge of Islamic sciences
1. Whoever is tested with grief, how does he not say “There is no god except Allah. Glory be to You. I have indeed been amongst the wrongdoers” (Qur’an 21:87) (1/9)
In 1900 Muhammad ‘Abduh gave a fatwah declaring Riba halal. And the Viceroy of Egypt, Lord Cromer, said about his freemason ‘friend’: “I suspect my friend ‘Abduh was in reality an agnostic,” and of his Salafi movement: “They are natural allies of the European reformer”.
Ah! simple days when ASWJ used to do dawah…
Shaykh Ahmed Deedat was once asked by a Christian lady: “The bible says God created Adam in His image so why can’t God be a human being with body parts?”
No Muslim will object to what the Shaykh says:
To the women who have trouble conceiving, it is not Allah’s punishment for you.
Our noble mother Sayyidah Ayesha رضي الله عنها had no children, yet she’s the one who narrated most of the blessed sunnah of her noble husband ﷺ to us and he ﷺ passed away in her lap.
When I go past homeless people, I always say to myself: “Ya Allah it could’ve been me. Ya Allah it can be me. Ya Allah you know I am nothing special, Alhamdulilah for all your Grace that you pour upon us just out of your generosity.”
It can be you.
Let’s test the waters:
'How beautiful is married life between two friends who love each other, and how repulsive is married life between a husband and wife who act like animals in the house.’
“If you take a woman to be your wife, be a father, mother, and brother to her, because she is leaving her father, her mother, and her brothers in order to be with you. (1/2)
2. Whoever is tested with fear of something, how does he not say: “Allah is sufficient for us and what an excellent trustee (of affairs) He is” (Qur’an 3:173) (3/9)
Someone once asked a sage: “Allah loves Rasool Allah ﷺ the most, yet places his name after His in the shahadah (declaration of faith). What kind of love is this when the beloved is kept second?”
(1/2)
When Allah سبحانه و تعالى says (in response): “We therefore heard his prayer and rescued him from grief. And similarly We shall rescue the believers.” (Qur’an 21:88) (2/9)
The righetous used to say: “if I could, I would walk on my head in Madeenah out of reverence for the place where Rasool Allah ﷺ is buried.” (Ash-Shifa of Qadi Iyyad)
May Allah free the occupied holy lands
What the actual....... ????????
Yaa Allah grant us someone like sayyedina Umar whose saif would reach the necks of these people .
Lanat on saudi government.
“Whoever’s parents are alive, he is sitting on a treasure. Cherish them for the whole world is not even worth the dust below their feet.” -Shaykh Abu Munir Muhammad Rashid
“Strictness in dealing is with warmongering disbelievers. As for Muslims, one should always be soft when dealing with them.” -Shaykh Abu Munir Muhammad Rashid
Ok serious tweet.
She’s Libyan. Omar Mukhtar was a Libyan Sufi Ash’ari of the Sanusi tariqah and his whole order were mujahidun.
The very fact that she can post stuff like this in a free Libya is because of those Sufi mujahidun against the Italians.
While wahabis have done 💩
May Allah have mercy on Shaykh Ul Islam Mustafa Sabri. Every word in this book needs to be written with gold.
This is the correct use of ilm ul kalaam ❤️

Imam Malik was asked by a man: “you narrate a hadith yet you give fatwa opposite to it?” To which he replied “i narrate that Hadith so that people like you don’t come up to me and say I didn’t know the hadith.”
To have no madhab and for everyone to become a mujtahid is a fitnah.
Yk salafis are so dumb because they dont even have u of usool. Imam Malik was asked about placing hands, he said LEAVE THEM ON THE SIDE and i find it makrooh to place them on the body for faraidh, but for long salah out of comfort place it on your body.

I have a really deep connection with Qaadi Iyyad رضي الله عنه and I attribute his book “Ash-Shifa” as the one that changed my life for better.
I used to read this book, facing the blessed Rawdah.
I am forced to say that no one, except a bastard child of zina can slander this wali
Sh. Asrar: Prophets are infallible and are not prone to sinning specifically Rasool Allah ﷺ
Dimishqiya: they’re human being like us (i.e rasool Allah is similar to them and can sin)
Wallahi you Wahabbis disgust me. To you the master of creation ﷺ is just a mailman.
Me: you know these sufis, instead of praying to Allah during sickness, they recommend using ta’weedh. Why can’t they just pray to Allah?
Salafi: yes Sufis are jaahil!
Me: btw, that sufi was Ibn Ul Qayyim
Salafi: axtually sarr difference of opinion sarr 🤡
Pajeets.
Me: I want eggs for breakfast
Wife: there’s no eggs, go grab some from Tesco
Dad: I want eggs for breakfast’s
Mum: there’s no eggs, go grab some from Tesco
Orientalist: this incident could have never occurred! How can 2 people say the same thing!
Hadith refuted!
Muhammad to 'A'isha: fetch me the prayer mat from the mosque!
'A'isha: I can't. It's my period
Muhammad: fetch it! Your period is not in your hand🫲
The exact story is repeated about the Companion Ibn Hunayf & another girl
Did the same incident occur twice in history?🧵
If Imam Ibn Hajr Al Asqalani, Imam Qastalani, Imam Sakhawi, Imam Jalal ud deen As Suyyuti, Imam Zakriya Al Ansari, Imam Ibn Hajr Al Haythami, Mulla Ali Qaari, Imam Bajuri, Imam Shareef Jurjani etc were misguided, I am happy to be considered a deviant for sharing this video
Qasidah Al-Burdah is full of shirk and exaggeration (ghulu) it’s not some innocent poem expressing love for the prophet ﷺ - please don’t click on any video which contains this filth as I’ve been seeing a few of them recently.
🔴And settled him, in peace, amongst the people of Madyan, in a foreign land
And then finally after recounting His favours, Allah says: “you have come right on the appointed time, O Musa” (Ayah 40) (4/5)
“I have seen the most beautiful faces of them all
But O Mustafa I have never seen one like yours.” ﷺ
-Before any psuedo salafi shaykh ut twitter joins in, they’re not equating him to God. They’re praising him ﷺ for being the biggest proof for God’s existence
The sage replied: “Allah wanted no one takes the name of His beloved ﷺ in a state of impurity (kufr). Therefore He decreed that His name is to be professed first, such that the tongue becomes pure through His dhikr, before one utters the name of His beloved Muhammad ﷺ”

To recite Quran near the grave:
“My father said to me: o Son when I die, bury me. When you bury me in my grave…and recite at the head of my grave the opening of Surah Al-Baqarah and its ending, for I have heard the Messenger of Allahﷺ say that.”
I realise so many of us, despite of our mountains of sins, have a genuine and pure love for our beloved Rasool ﷺ.
So I have a good news for all of you: it was reported from Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنهما under the tafseer of Surah Ad-Duha Ayah 5: (then you will be satisfied) (1/2)
When i was sitting in the courtyard of masjid nabawi last year, i was thinking to myself: even though I am so far from the blessed grave, there’s a chance that when the wind blows it touched it and then it might reach me and the atoms that touched the blessed rawdah-

We know the kind of ‘dawah’ the terrorists give to sunni muslims and the incentives they give to study in Medina University for free.
Sh. Yaseen: “I am a SALAFI MATURIDI! I am salafi first because i follow the fiqh of Imam Abu Hanifa who was from the salaf and i follow the aqeedah of Imam Al Maturidi who was from the salaf.”
I am a salafi maturidi too :))))))))
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما praying in the places Rasool Allah ﷺ prayed: that’s biddah of Ibn Umar رضي الله عنهما and leads to kufr ackee!
Also Salafis: Our infallible imams can’t make a mistake you mubtadi’ jahmi quburi mushrik! How dare you criticise!
