A word for sisters who give dawah.
Sister Laila, please send a message to the sisters who give dawah that would strengthen and guide them, because we have recently observed systematic attacks against them to terrorize them of advising and reforming. You know that females are greatly affected by speech. If it is possible, a message to them, may Allah bless you.
We are ashamed to consider what we are suffering today from a war against the advisors as a factor, and our greatest effort is writing letters. We are very ashamed of that when we read the biography of our prophet and the stories of the women of the companions in the Meccan era. For they were tortured, chased, persecuted, persecuted, and did not retreat! So where are we from what they have provided and paid, but having little patience is being stingy with ourselves!
It is enough to read the biography of one female companion and see how we are being stingy in supporting the religion of Allah Almighty, how much we find it difficult being patient while confronting those who are showing more patience on their falsehood, and I will not go to narrate the majestic examples that are removed from the biography and the biography of the righteous predecessors, they are many, abundant in meanings and great examples, but I will introduce you to a fact that many may not know or overlook, and it is enough to make us move!
Take a look at the women of the West, in leadership positions and work projects, you will not find a woman who neglects her work. -they are dedicated to giving the best for the glory of their nation; we have seen that in the U.S. military and U.S. governments, women who work in day and night for the glory of America!
We saw women from the American people volunteering without the lowest salary, to serve their country, and provided media support to support their campaigns!
We saw the callers of Christianization walking through deserts and seas to spread disbelief and polytheism in the jungles of Africa, we saw them hiding under the role of doctors, nurses, teachers, and journalists and calling for poor and needy people, to evangelize them whether they wanted or not!
We saw advocates of Buddhism, who bear all the humiliation and humiliating exams and travel for that to other countries and incur the costs for ignorant infidel practices!
We saw from the Jewish women who raise an army of children on Islamophobia and hating Muslims, she is never tired to make a warrior generation!
We saw Hindu women inciting their men to burn Muslims; making them food, sticks, and every malicious idea of Muslim persecution and extermination!
We saw the detention camps in China where Uyghurs Muslims and others were forced to apostasy. We saw Chinese women being skilled at indoctrinating communism in the filthiest and most degrading methods, we saw them dominating Muslim women with forced sterilization and Muslim children by taking away their identity and religion! With dedication!
We saw Russians and Ukrainian women in wars, fighting and threatening their enemies, we saw in every nation, women defending their beliefs and seeking to build the glory of their nations, do not let them go, men and women, they do not eat or get bored, and pay the price from their health, ages, money and offspring!
So how about Muslim women, the believers, who read the Qur’an and read the hadith?! and know that the religion of Allah is being fought against, but it is victorious. The religion of God is a terror of his enemies and surrounded by their cunning, plot, and aggression, but it is promised success and empowerment after a long or short time.
We have everything that makes us stay firm and makes us strive and pushes us for great challenges with the courage of the hero! So how do we be stingy?
Consider the saying of God Almighty (And many a Prophet (i.e., many from amongst the Prophets) fought (in Allâh’s Cause) and along with him (fought) large bands of religious learned men. But they never lost heart 146, And they said nothing but: “Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions (in keeping our duties to You), establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk 147, So Allah gave them the reward of this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. And Allah loves Al-Muhsin (the good-doers (148)) (Al-Imran)
They did not weaken and did not rest. Captivating descriptions that not only build up the strength of Muslims but ignite it. They are a people who ask God for forgiveness for their sins and their extravagance in their matters like all of us, we get weakened and need repentance and forgiveness, but they knew where patience and victory come from, it is from the help of Allah Almighty, and the continuation of the thiker (remembrance of Allah) and work.
The women who give dawah must experience the meanings of the Qur’an strongly and continuously, so it is not possible for a day to pass for one of them without opening the Qur’an and thinking about its verses. You will find verses such as the daily hoard and the indispensable treatment of a worker for the sake of Allah!
I do not doubt that every female adviser has been weakened and retracted, due to the weakness of her adherence to the reasons of steadfastness, including the good and inspiring company that cooperates on righteousness and piety. When she fights alone or does not find anyone who reminds her of the great responsibility and the importance of stability in the way of believers, she may become weak. While She used to always be the advisor! She also needs sincere advice!
The advisors in God do not need much explanation, but remembrance benefits the believers, and here I do not only remember the duty to bear the burdens of the call to Allah Almighty, but I say, it is jihad! The missionary work (dawah) in our time is not just an invitation, delivering a word and it is done, but it is an epic, you will be harmed, this is for sure. You will be exposed to lying, slander, and falsehood. Are you in a better position than the mother of the believers, Aisha, may God be pleased with her. She was not guaranteed peace while in the era of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, from injustice and aggression, so verses were revealed about her supporting her and supporting every believer who is subjected to injustice and aggression!
We must stay steadfast not only for ourselves but for our children and future generations, to leave the inheritance safe without change, distortion, excessive or neglect, as the companions of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, left it after him. It is an issue of a covenant and a pledge with Allah for the last breath, so we do not get bored until we deliver honesty to those after us. Otherwise, the womb of the earth is more merciful for us.
Ibn Taymiyyah, may God have mercy on him, says: “Combining strength and honesty in people is little, and that is why Omar bin Al-Khattab, may God be pleased with him, used to say: (O Allah, I complain to you the patience of the immoral person and the inability of confidence)”. (Shari’a politics, p. 15)
Therefore, whoever reaches the rank of advising for the sake of Allah (giving dawah), let her perform it with its full right, with strength and honesty, and should not be stingy in one of them or be ascetic in one of them, but you have to prepare for every battle by preparing the epic!
We were not created to lose Islam, nor to retreat from the saying of a hypocrite, a heretic, an immoral, or any unjust aggressor, we are here to elevate the voice of Islam above all accumulated rubble and to elevate the word of Allah the Almighty, do not fear the blame of blamers! Because we are right which only accepts to be exalted by the majestic faith! And because the norm of replacing is there for every languid and excessive!
Allah Almighty said, warning us of the norm of replacement and making clear to us the characteristics of the good ones chosen: (O you who believe! Whoever from among you turns back from his religion (Islâm), Allâh will bring a people whom He will love and they will love Him; humble towards the believers, stern towards the disbelievers, fighting in the Way of Allâh, and never fear of the blame of the blamers. That is the Grace of Allâh which He bestows on whom He wills) (Al-Ma’idah: 54)
From here, if you want, O Muslim women, to continue on the path of advising (giving dawah) for Allah´s sake, then Allah and His Messenger, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, and establish yourself on the obligations of the love of Allah and His Messenger! And here is an article about the love of Allah Almighty that you do not miss, begin with it and continue: the love of God Almighty.
Strive for truth for Allah´s sake, as much as Allah has enabled you, for today, putting off evil, and commanding good, are part of jihad no doubt; Because of the abundance of falsehood, its predominance, and the strength and spread of its influence. It is not appropriate for you to retreat from your place. Do not fear any ignorant or one who pretends to be knowledgeable, stand up and your sisters as a great beacon. Be a role model in a time of humiliation, and defeatism for the West. Presented to the whole world an example of how a female Muslim is; precious, proud, and supportive of the Muslim nation, by calling for the religion of Allah Almighty and following its constants.
The norm of replacement will not stop and discrimination does not stop until Allah wills. Therefore, do what will protect you tomorrow from hellfire, and present what can be an excuse for you before Allah Almighty. However, beware of the excuses that prevented you from supporting the religion of Allah, let it not be: fatigue, discomfort, the hypocrites. These are arguments that are not worthy of monotheism in your hearts or the honesty of reporting in your lifestyle!
Praise be to Allah, we do not lack the hoard or preparation, but we lack remembrance, so I think you, you are the keenest people in the competition, and to be the ones to do first, so Allah bless the arenas of seriousness and work. Do not leave it for those who neglect, and be a refuge for every loss and a reason of guidance for every misguided and a warm embrace for every repentant!!
Beware of negligence! For we see Allah using women from other nations, who enter Islam between day and night, so one of them bears the message of Islam among her people with sincerity and honesty that calls for meditation!
They follow them, although they are new to Islam, but their haste to spread his message and challenge them to their infidel societies and inherited customs, is an argument against you, you who were born in Islam!
This is the tip of the iceberg, and we will continue, God willing, in inciting the believers until we see their ranks become one, like the solidified structure, meeting on the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and what the predecessors were, until Allah decrees something effective.
Come on to success! Come on to work! We don’t have time for anything but work!
” And say (O Muhammad ) “Do deeds! Allah will see your deeds, and (so will) His Messenger and the believers. And you will be brought back to the All-Knower of the unseen and the seen. Then He will inform you of what you used to do.” (105) (Altawba)
