Say: "Lā ilāha illā Allāh" (There is no god but Allah) with a humble heart, a sincere soul, and a mindful intellect—remembering that He is the One True God, glory be to Him, in whose hand lies everything, and that all besides Him possess neither harm nor benefit for themselves.

There is no god but Allah. He is Alone and He has no partner whatsoever. To Him Alone belong all sovereignty and all praise. He is over all things All-Powerful

O you wrongdoers: you surely have an appointed time with Allah wherein you shall witness who is truly the Sovereign, who is truly the Omnipotent, who is truly the Almighty.

And O you who are wronged: exercise beautiful patience, for you surely have an appointed time when Allah shall exact retribution upon those who wronged you and reward you for your forbearance.

O Allah, be pleased with the heroes of Gaza, accept their martyrs, heal their wounded, free their captives, and grant them support from You.
O Allah, console the people of Gaza in their affliction, expand their hearts, ease their affairs, and compensate them with what is better.

Whoever follows a sound reformist methodology that he claims to draw from the prophetic way will find that the provocations, fabrications, attacks, and distortions of opponents do not alter the nature of his course or the characteristics of his approach. He does not build his vision based on reactions, nor does he rush his path to take revenge for himself, nor is he deceived by the abundance of followers' cheers. Rather, he proceeds upon a comprehensive, rightly-guided methodology that illuminates the way through all circumstances and stages.

"And sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Supporter." [25:31]

At the setback of the Battle of Uhud, great displays of steadfastness emerged from a number of the Companions, such as Talha, Sa'd, and others. The stances of the hypocrites were exposed, and some believers wavered out of fear or greed.
Allah clarified all of this in Surah Al-Imran.
These three categories exist in this current phase that resembles the phase of Uhud in some countries, either physically or figuratively.
So congratulations to those who remain steadfast,
away with the hypocrites,
and guidance and firmness—O Allah—for the fleeing and wavering believers.

Whoever walks the path of reviving the prophetic methodology must grant the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a special status in their heart. They should not love anyone among people as they love him—not even themselves. They should never cease sending prayers and peace upon him ﷺ, and they should have a strong connection to his Sunnah and his legacy, both in knowledge and in practice.

There is no wonder more astonishing than a person's belief that death is truth, Paradise is truth, and Hellfire is truth—yet they live in this world with their heart attached to everything except Allah alone, without partner.

How many times has Allah mentioned in His Book the Day of Resurrection and its terrors, even revealing entire chapters concerning it—yet a person lives with their mind, heart, and concerns remote from that Day through which they will inevitably pass, then proceed to their eternal fate?

Remember the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad ﷺ—how he endured hardship, persevered, sacrificed, and strove to convey to us the message of his Lord, pure and unblemished.

Send prayers upon him, honor his Sunnah, and do not place before his methodology the doctrines of a party, the directives of a state, the opinions of a movement, or the pronouncements of a Shaykh should they contradict his guidance ﷺ.

Among the most important fields that reform-minded youth should engage in calling to good, reform, and reviving hearts are:
Universities, their clubs, and their student residences.
For a nation’s strength lies in its youth, and if the youth are righteous in their condition, the nation will make tremendous leaps toward success.

Among the foremost matters to call people toward are: steadfastness upon the command of Allah the Almighty, breaking the shackles of desires, broadening one’s perspective from the narrowness of this world to the vastness of the Hereafter, strengthening one’s belonging to the Islamic Ummah, calling for its support, engaging with its causes, and championing the legacy and way of the Prophet ﷺ.

This field of da‘wah and reform is among the most vital of all fields. Those addressed to work within it are the reformers — men and women alike.

So fear Allah, O you who have learned, been nurtured, understood, and become aware: do not neglect this duty, and do not confine goodness within your own circles and the circles of those who are already receptive and proactive. Rather, you yourselves must take initiative and turn the hearts of the children of Muhammad's Ummah ﷺ toward truth and goodness, and remember his calling ﷺ—where were its arenas...

Educational centers are not the arena for reform projects; rather, they are the arena for producing reformers and the nurturing space from which they draw their spiritual, intellectual, and practical provision.

As for the arena of reform projects, it is society in all its components, classes, and spaces, which requires from reformers an understanding of it and an ability to influence it and address it correctly.

However, if reformers withdraw into their centers and nurturing environments—because of the sense of reassurance and safety they find there—their message will have only limited impact and benefit, and they will become cut off from the real fields of work.

The successful reformer is the one who balances between his nurturing environment and the sphere of action within society, and does not retreat from that sphere under the pretext of widespread corruption or discomfort.

The Prophet ﷺ used to go to the people in their markets and public gatherings, conveying to them the message of his Lord, and he did not confine himself to teaching his companions in Dar al-Arqam.

States that possess the largest armies and the most formidable weapons do not hesitate to pour out their wealth and mobilize their personnel on social media networks, in order to champion their vision, reinforce their narrative, and fight their opponents—even if they are the most oppressive and corrupt of states.

Are not the oppressed who carry the truth more deserving of this rallying, mutual support, solidarity, the speaking of a word of truth, and the combating of falsehood?

O Allah, we ask You for relief for Your servants imprisoned in the prisons of the Zionists.

Praise be to Allah, who grants victory to the oppressed and exposes the wrongdoers: "But the punishment of the Hereafter is surely more disgraceful, and they will not be supported." [41:16]

Do not be pessimistic, for the Chosen One ﷺ said: "Indeed, Allah has guaranteed for me al-Shām and its people."

Keep renewing your commitment to them through sincere advice, support, and guidance, for everyone is in dire need of that.

The coming events, with their fateful nature, may cause people to forget all previous events, and at that time the Ummah will be in utmost need of unity of word, sincerity of hearts, and purity of souls.

Amid all this, the greater the danger of the external enemy, the more the danger of the deadly internal enemy increases: "Love of this worldly life." (Hadith reference)

O Allah, rectify the condition of the Ummah of Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
