I bear witness that there is no God except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Slave and Messenger, the best of His creation, who did not spare any effort to advise this Ummah, the most patient in accepting the decree of Allah and the most grateful for His blessings. Truly, he conveyed the message of Allah and proclaimed the Truth and endured in the way of Allah that which no human had ever endured. He followed Allah's commands patiently and gratefully, until he gained the pleasure of Allah and attained the highest degree of patience, such as had never before been reached.</span><br />

WALLLAHI ya akhawaati, our brothers and sisters are in a grave condition and we will be asked about what we did for them on Yaum al-Qiyaamah! Wallahi akhawaati, prepare yourselves for a grievious Day, a Day when every thing big or small will be brought to light and Allah subhaana wa ta'aala will ask us about our deeds and how we helped His ibaadi in this dunyah and how we helped to improve their condition.</strong></span><br />

WALLAHI there are those that say they have caused no harm to Ahlul Sunnah but the battle between the Haqq and Baatil has never stopped so again ya akhawaati, I encourage you to do anything you can (the very least being making duaa' for our brothers and sisters) being beaten, tortured, burned alive only because they said Allah is their Lord, Muhammad is His Nabi and because they are PLEASED with his Companions (radiAlalhu Anhum)! In this regard, Im talking about the evil shi'aa who constantly mock and abuse the Companions, wa iyaadhu billah, as well as take prisoners from Ahlul Sunnah and demand that they follow on their sick and deviated path. Akhawaatina, it has now become obligatory upon you to pass on the message for wallahi our brothers, sisters and kids are suffering at the hands of the disgusting Munaafiqeen. Please watch this video and I ask Allah to make what we benefit for us and not against us on the Day of Reckoning. </strong></span><br />

</strong></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>فبين العمل وبين القلب مسافة وفي تلك المسافة قطاع تمنع وصول العمل إلى القلب, فيكون الرجل كثير العمل وما وصل منه إلى قلبه محبة ولا خوف ولا رجاء ولا زهد في الدنيا ولا رغبة في الآخرة ولا نور يفرق بين أولياء الله وأعدائه وبين الحق والباطل, ولا قوة في أمره فلو وصل أثر الأعمال إلى قلبه لاستنار وأشرق ورأى الحق والباطل وميز بين أولياء الله وأعدائه</strong></span><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong><br />
</strong></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>‘There is a distance between a deed and the heart. Along that distance are certain obstacles which prevent a deed from reaching the heart so it is the case that a man may perform many good deeds but nothing reaches his heart of love, fear and hope (of Allah), detachment from this world or hope and yearning for the Hereafter. He does not possess a light whereby he can distinguish between the people of Allah and the enemies of Allah, between truth and falsehood and there is no strength to him. If the affects of good deeds had reached his heart, then his heart would have shone and sprung forth, he would have seen truth and falsehood for what they really are and he would have had the ability to distinguish between the people/friends of Allah and between His enemies.’</strong></span><br />

So if his affairs tighten upon him and overwhelm him, he releases it to an advisor of his, for secrets are trusts and disclosing them is betrayal (to the one who shared it with you). The heart is only a vessel but from among vessels are that which become constricted when something is placed in them, and from them are those that are wide enough to hold what is placed in them.</strong></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>He went to perform ghusl (ceremonial bathing) and put on his Akfan (shrouds) under his clothes, because he knew the matter meant clear death for him, killing and blood-shed. </strong></span><br />
