The situation of our Muslim brothers in Chechnya.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own souls and from the evil of our deeds. Whoever Allah guides, no one can mislead, and whoever He misleads, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him. Allah the Exalted sent him at a time when the messengers had ceased, the paths had become dark, and people were immersed in ignorance, misguidance, injustice, and aggression. Allah removed all of this through him. He sent him with guidance and the religion of truth to make it prevail over all other religions. He conveyed the message, fulfilled the trust, advised the nation, and struggled in the cause of Allah with true struggle. May Allah’s blessings and peace be upon him, his family, his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence until the Day of Judgment.
As for what follows: This is the first meeting of this year, the year 1416, which takes place on the night of Sunday, the nineteenth of Muharram of this year. We hope that Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, as we welcome our new year, will make it a year of honor and empowerment for Muslims in the east and west of the earth. We ask Allah the Exalted to grant victory to our Muslim brothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to grant victory to our Muslim brothers in Chechnya, to grant victory to our Muslim brothers in Kashmir, and to grant victory to our Muslim brothers in Abyssinia, and in every place. Indeed, He is capable of all things. And we, O brothers, in these days, hear that our Muslim brothers in Bosnia and Herzegovina have prepared for an attack in order to break the siege imposed on them by those aggressive Serbs. So we ask Allah the Exalted to help them, to steady their feet, and to grant them victory over their enemy. It is their right upon us to make supplication for them. They are in need of supplication; they are in need of us raising our hands to our Lord, Mighty and Majestic, asking Him to grant them victory. Let us be those who do this; this is the least of what is obligatory upon us.
