Shaikh Faisal bin Qazar Al-Jaasim (from Kuwait) advises the Muslims on the Palestinian Issue (8th October 2023).

May Allah protect our مجاهدين brothers in Gaza, strengthen them, bestow upon them His victory and support, and may Allah heal their hearts. And He (Allah) crushed the evil of their enemy, turned their schemes back upon them, instilled terror in their hearts, and weakened their bodies and spirits.

The Palestinians know their situation better than the others, they know their interests, and they are aware their reality (actual situation). They have our help and prayers.
Let those with little knowledge, limited experience, and ignorance of their reality not intrude on them (i.e. not interfere in their affairs).

Whoever has advices and opinions, this is not the time for it. Rather, advice has its appropriate time and means to convey it without weakening the resolve (of the Palestinians), strengthening the enemies and the adversaries. It should also block the path for the hypocrites, the betrayers, and the slanderers. (@faisalaljasem on Twitter)

According to the Bible, the serpent led Eve into eating from the forbidden tree, so God punished the snakes/serpents by making them eat the dust and crawl on their bellies.

The Bible explained the movement of snakes on their bellies as a curse, as well as interpreting the flickering of the snake’s tongue on the ground as eating.

Some commentaries like The IVP Bible Background Commentary mentioned that the idea of snakes eating the dust and them being cursed can be found in ancient pagan literature.

🔹In contrast, the Quranic account of the story of Adam doesn’t mention any of the mistakes found in the Bible. In the Quran, snakes don’t eat the dust and their mode of locomotion isn’t a result of a curse, rather it’s a sign from Allah ﷻ that He can create whatever He wills.

📝🌹The Mercenary Who Awaits Enlistment… (Poem)

🗡️He awaits enlistment, to just be allowed,
to fight in Allah cause, not to be renowned,

his payment is that, and with that he is pleased,
‘to serve in His Path in difficulty and ease’…

-Mohammed Manna.

Shaikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahullah) said:

وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ مُبْتَدِعَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ: مِنْ الرَّافِضَةِ وَالْجَهْمِيَّة وَغَيْرِهِمْ إلَى بِلَادِ الْكُفَّارِ فَأَسْلَمَ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ خَلْقٌ كَثِيرٌ وَانْتَفَعُوا بِذَلِكَ وَصَارُوا مُسْلِمِينَ مُبْتَدِعِينَ وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونُوا كُفَّارًا وَكَذَلِكَ بَعْضُ الْمُلُوكِ قَدْ يَغْزُو غَزْوًا يَظْلِمُ فِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْكُفَّارَ وَيَكُونُ آثِمًا بِذَلِكَ وَمَعَ هَذَا فَيَحْصُلُ بِهِ نَفْعُ خَلْقٍ كَثِيرٍ كَانُوا كُفَّارًا فَصَارُوا مُسْلِمِينَ وَذَاكَ كَانَ شَرًّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ إلَى الْقَائِمِ بِالْوَاجِبِ وَأَمَّا بِالنِّسْبَةِ إلَى الْكُفَّارِ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ.


“And many of the Muslim innovators, from the Rafidah and the Jahmiyyah, and others, went to the lands of disbelievers. Many people embraced Islam at their hands, benefiting from them, and became Muslim-innovators, which is better for them than remaining disbelievers. And similarly, some of the Kings (Muslim rulers) may engage in unjust wars, harming both Muslims and disbelievers, and they may be sinful in doing so. Nevertheless, good comes from it for many people who were disbelievers and (they then) became Muslims. This is considered evil in relation to the one responsible for fulfilling the obligation, but it is good in relation to the disbelievers.”

Majmua-Fatawa Ibn Taymiyyah (13/96).

Question: Is Al-Hijamah (cupping) from The Sunnah?

Answer by Shaikh Abdul Azeez bin Abdullah bin Baaz (Rahimahullah):

Yes (Hijamah is a Sunnah), if (done as a cure when) needed, and in the Hadith: “The best of remedies you can use is cupping and cauterization,” narrated by Sahih Muslim.

Question: In which areas did the Prophet ﷺ perform cupping?
Answer: It is well known that he (the Prophet) performed cupping on his head, peace and blessings be upon him.
