Our heartfelt gratitude to our beloved brothers in Bradford for their warm hospitality and for fostering the strong bond of brotherhood

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Allah, The Most High, said:
وَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَالتَّقْوَىٰ ۖ وَلَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ

Help you one another in Al-Birr and At-Taqwa [virtue, righteousness and piety]; but do not help one another in sin and transgression. [Al-Ma’idah 2]

Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:

This verse contains all the Masaalih (things that will bring about benefit and repel harm) for the servants of Allah in their worldly affairs and in the Hereafter – amongst themselves or in relation to their relationship with their Lord. This is because every servant of Allah finds himself within two circumstances and obligations – either to fulfil the obligations owed to Allah or the obligations owed to Allah’s creation. As for the obligations owed to the creation, they include (righteous) association, companionship, aiding one another upon what Allah loves and obedience to Allah, and this is the goal behind one’s search for happiness and success in the Hereafter. There can be no happiness in the Hereafter except through Bir and Taqwaa, because it is basis of all matters of the religion. [1]

By His Grace, Allah guided us to this blessed Salafi Manhaj and blessed us with scholars, students of knowledge, families, brothers and friends upon this path. Undoubtedly, among those brothers we have cherished for many years are our brothers in Bradford, both those within and outside the Bradford Shurah. Our relationship has consistently been one of cooperation in righteousness and piety to the best of our abilities, along with a protective jealousy we have for one another and other people of Sunnah. Therefore, we express our gratitude to Allah for instilling this love in our hearts for them and for others, and may He strengthen this bond in all that is dear to Him until we meet Him. Lastly, we extend our thanks to our Bradford brothers for their warm hospitality during our visit and their unwavering positive attitude towards fostering brotherhood, love, and compassion. This post is a response to the tweet below. May Allah bless all the Salafiyyoon and the Ummah. Amin.
