As Salaam O 'Alaykum Wa Rehmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh! Sibling in Islam,

Hope this mail finds you in the best of health and increasing state of emaan, Insha-ALLAAH!

The times have become corrupted.
Girls are dressed, yet naked (i.e., their dresses are equal to no dresses)!
Children are acting like masters to their parents!
We need to follow the right path, the path of Al-Islam!
We need to obey the Quran and Sunnah of Rasoolullah (ﷺ)!
We need to get knowledge of the correct Sunnah of Rasoolullah (ﷺ), follow it, and spread it!

‘Abdullah Ibn ‘Abbas said that the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever sticks to my Sunnah (my way, my path, my practice, my teachings) when my Ummah becomes corrupt, will receive the reward of 100 martyrs.”
[The Hadeeth was graded Hasan by Ibn Hajar Al-`Asqalaani in Hidaayah Ar-Ruwaah, and Al-Mundhiree said about it in At-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb, “Its isnaad is saheeh or hasan or something close to them.”]

Shaykh Al-Albaani (he graded it “hasan” in Sahih Al-Jaami`) from ‘Abdullah Ibn Mas’ood, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
    اَلْمُتَمَسِّكُ بِسُنَّتِي عِنْدَ اخْتِلاَفِ أُمَّتِي, كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى الْجَمْر
“The person who sticks tightly to my Sunnah, at the time when the rest of my Ummah will be in a state of discord & disunity – will be like one who is holding on with his bare hands to ember.”

On one occasion – ‘Abdullaah Ibn ‘Amr Ibn Al-‘Aas narrates – when the Companions were all sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ), he said:
“Toobaa (Paradise; a special tree in Paradise) is for the strangers (those who are looked at by the people as strange and weird)! Toobaa is for the strangers! Toobaa is for the strangers!” And he said it thrice.
So they asked him, “Who are these ghurabaa’ (strange people) that you’re referring to, Messenger of Allah?”
And he replied:
“Righteous people who are few in number, and who are amongst evil and misguided people who are so abundant and overflowing in number. Those who are against them (these righteous people) will be more than those who follow them and support them.”
[Authenticated in Musnad Ahmad by Shaykh Ahmad Shaakir, and in Saheeh Al-Jaami` & Saheeh At-Targheeb by Al-Albaani.]

And our Prophet (ﷺ) also described them on another occasion saying,
"Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings to the strangers."
It was asked, "Who are those strangers, O Messenger of Allah?"
He replied,
"Those that correct my sunnah which has been corrupted by the people after me.
They are a small group of people among a large evil population. Those who oppose (evil population) them are more than those who follow them."
[Reported by Abu Amr al-Dani, from the hadith of ibn Masoud. It is authentic according to al-Albani.]
[Reported by ibn Asaakir. It is authentic according to al-Albani.]

Oh ALLAAH azza wa jal Grant us tawfique to follow the Sunnah of Rasoolullah (ﷺ)!

Aameen Ya Rabbal 'Aalameen!

w ALLAAHu subhanu wa ta'ala 'Aalam!

Take Care,

As Salaam O 'Alaykum Wa Rehmatullaahi Wa Barakaatuh!
