Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullāh said:

The removal of mountains from their places, is easier than the disappearance of these four for one who is afflicted with them.

An excellent lecture by our brother Abū Sulaymān (may Allāh preserve him).

The topic of sisterhood is one of great importance.

We have seen and heard many stories over the years of sisters not being made to feel welcome in masājid, being shunned and looked down upon for not being dressed like other sisters.

We need to remind ourselves not to aid the shaytān in driving people away from the masājid. The fact that such a sister has come to the masjid is a great blessing which most likely required a battle.

Remember how you (the one driving people away) was once misguided and perhaps in a worse situation.

كَذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبۡلُ فَمَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَیۡكُمۡ فَتَبَیَّنُوۤا۟ۚ

“As he is now, so were you yourselves before till Allah conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to Islam), therefore, be cautious in discrimination”. (4:94)

Imām As-Sa’dī rahimahullāh said in his tafsīr of this verse: “So just as Allāh guided you after your misguidance likewise He guides others beside you”.

This also applies to brothers who drive others away from the masājid.
