It’s getting pretty shameful how some people are employing scammer like and/or sleazy business tactics, in order to create an artificial need, and/or market around their Deen-related product or service (that they’re selling). For example, some people start answering very simple questions, in a “controversial/edgy” way, in order generate traffic and buzz to their page. Before they answer the question, they shamelessly plug their Deen related product/course that they’re selling. Similarly, some may spend months trying to artificially trash certain products or courses (maybe even justifiably so) — only to suddenly “have the solution,” for the low price of $/month.
This is not to say or argue that charging money for Deen related services is “Haram,” per se — rather, it’s to emphatically say that such approach is not the Manhaj of the Messengers or Prophets عليهم الصلاة والسلام, and those who are propped up (or prop themselves up), are held to a much higher standard than us laymen.
This is a Manhaj in which many have sacrificed for, some more than others obviously — but one thing it is not, is a niche “market” for you to exploit and profit off of monetarily (with relation to the teaching the Deen).
Further, you are judged by what you’re DOING (present tense), not what you’ve done or stances you’ve taken (past tense). How many brothers who preceded many of us in Goodness and Effort, only to experience hardship and then spew idiocy and misguidance afterwards, may Allah return them to their upstanding ways, and make us and keep us firm upon Tawheed, and the correct methodology in all affairs of this Pure Deen.
Ameen.

There is no benefit in constantly bringing up topics that result in useless fitnah.
For example, the way a lot of brothers constantly argue and debate whether a certain scholar is an apostate or not. And this argument goes on for days and days, with no benefit coming out of it at all.
Likewise, arguing about the madhahib or the leaders of the madhahib.
What good comes as a result of this?
Nothing.
Only wasted time.

I can never understand why some random guy from London is willing to die defending Muhammad bin Salman's honor. Like, it makes sense for Saudi nationalists, but why is this random south asian or north african living in Europe getting involved in it? I really don't understand. Instead of calling towards tawhid, understanding la ilaha ila Allah, or actually following the sunnah, they base their entire da'wah on defending the rulers, even when fawzan and al-madkhali have made takfir on other "muslim" rulers.
Some of them have reached a level of irja' and hizbiyyah, that Saleh al-Fawzan is actually much better than them (even with the rulers).
it's foolish. Even laughable.
The only reason why they've got so many followers, is because they take advantage of the ignorance of the general Muslims. Especially those who live in the west, who're desperate for any "traditional" or "strict" voices they can listen to. Madkhalis essentially larp as being students of knowledge, when in reality all their doing is repeating a few phrases that they've heard online.
A random guy grows a beard, shortens his thobe above his ankles, starts saying "يعني" "طيب" "لكن" every 3-4 seconds, and talks about "following the kibar akhee" — then people think of him as some big shaykh. How incredibly sad it is that people can be fooled this easily. Not to mention that intelligence agencies constantly fund and promote such people, and SPUBS ("salafi" publications) has been very open about working with governments against Muslims.
They've established many mosques, events, networks, websites, and so on.
I say: we need to do the same (not working with governments, obviously. just needed to clarify). In order to give da'wah effeciently, we need to establish ourselves some how. Maybe it can't be done in real life, due to feds and their spies, but online is more than doable. We just need to figure out a way to break into the mainstream and build a following. The problem is here that we grow our accounts to 2-4k followers, and we always end up getting banned.
So be patient, and keep working to spread the da'wah of truth. In sha Allah, one day we will see the madakhila, sururiyyah, ikhwan, and neo-jahmiyyah seethe with rage.

If a Muqallid says, “A new Muslim or anyone that is not a scholar is not allowed to read Sahih Al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim or any book of Hadith!”
It is said to the Muqallid: You have contradicted, as there is no difference among any of you that everyone is allowed to read the Qur’an. While there are abrogations in the Qur’an, Mutashabihat, Khusus of ‘Umum orders in different places of the Qur’an, there are Mujmal verses which require a Mubayyan and words that require dictionaries and knowledge of grammar.
If anyone comes across that which they do not know, whether they are new to Islam or knowledgable and whether it is from the Qur’an or the Sunnah they are obliged to inquire the people knowledgable of the Qur’an and Sunnah (Ahl ul-Dhikr) as Allah ordered: “So ask Ahl ul-Dhikr if you do not know” [16:43].
If the Muqallid says, “Many of you do not know all defects of the Ahadith you use, so you fell into Taqlid!”
The answer: If that is according to you is Taqlid, then none of your scholars from the begin to the last are Mujtahidin as none of them discuss the defects of narrations in detail in any of their Fiqh books, not even the most advanced ones among them.
And most of you claim that Ijtihad is obligatory in matters of Aqidah as Taqlid is not allowed in it, while none of you can ever clarify the defects of the narrations you do not use in Aqidah or the authenticity of the narrations which you do use.
Ijtihad is instead obligatory according to the ability of anyone, a new Muslim and the knowledgable.
If there is a new Muslim that does not understand what weak and authentic narrations are, he only asks regarding the issue he must know, to the scholar that knows Hadith after he answered, “Is this from the words of the Prophet or anyone other than him?” He is only burdened further once he fully understands it afterwards he inquires what exactly its defects are as he understands it.

Some thoughts on how to deal with sins
Never look at all the good you have done to minimize the evil you are about to do. This is a kind of arrogance and a trick of shaytan.
If you have recently done something evil, do more good deeds to earn forgiveness while the motivation is still in your heart.
If you cannot stop a particular sin, stop the sins that are near it, because this will increase you in strength.

"Oh we can't do this anymore, teenagers today aren't mature like they used to be"
Maturity isn't a magical thing that's bestowed on people, it's cultivated by giving someone roles and responsibility. Every time age is used as an excuse to bar or exempt people from responsibility, it further contributes to the stunting of their development. Marriage is a particularly egregious example, since not only does not getting married stunt your children mentally, it also leaves the door wide open for zina for absolutely no reason.
These same people will turn around and say that the solution to the zina epidemic is to basically keep your children prisoners and isolate them from the opposite gender until they're 30, which is absurd, does not work, has nothing to do with the religion and will severely stunt your children's social development. Even if you accomplished this impossible feat, these people's urges don't simply disappear and they will start projecting them onto their family members or their own gender, and this is a known phenomenon.

Intelligence agencies buying out Imams and preachers.
Muhammad ibn Muneer (runs a masjid in NY), was approached by the feds after returning from his studies in Yemen. They had been keeping watch of him during his time in Yemen, and didn't waste anytime trying to buy him out.
He isn't a "jihadi" nor is he a madkhali, more like somewhere in between, madkhali-leaning in some issues, sururi-leaning in others. The important thing is to understand is that he isn't considered "extreme", and was immediately approached for that reason.
He didn't take the offer, but it does leave a lot to wonder about:
— How many other "salafis" (madkhalis) studying abroad have been approached by the FBI?
— How many of those approached accepted the offer? And how many rejected it?
— How much Islamic information and lessons has been tampered with by intelligence agencies?
After thinking about all of this, it should become clear that many of the madakhila are working with secular disbelieving governments. Especially SPUBS.

"Those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and go about the earth spreading mischief -indeed their recompense is that they either be done to death, or be crucified, or have their hands and feet cut off from the opposite sides or be banished from the land. Such shall be their degradation in this world; and a mighty chastisement lies in store for them in the World to Come" [Qur'an 5:33]

Question: “Is taking loans with interest allowed in the lands of the Muslims allowed?”.
The answer: It is not allowed to take such loans, to understand this it must be understood that Riba is of different types and that it only occurs with those types: sales (Buyu’), forward sales (Salam) and loans (Qardh). As for sales and forward sales, Riba only occurs in 6, which are: dates, wheat, barley, salt, gold and silver. As for loans Riba occurs in every single thing in it. It is not allowed to take a loan from a Muslim except by returning the exact amount back, not anything less and not anything more and not from a different type. This is clarified In Kitab al-Qardh and will be clarified in much more detail in Kitab al-Riba In Sha’ Allah. The evidence for the prohibition of such loans is that Allah says: “O you who believe! fear Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba (from now onward), if you are (really) believers. And if you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums (Ru’us al-Amwal)” [2:279]. Murtadha al-Zubaydi said in Taj al-’Arus: “Ra’s ul-Mal (singular form of Ru’us al-Amwal) means a returned loan without any interest” (1). And Rasulullah ﷺ said: “What has led people to impose conditions that are not found in the book of Allah? Any condition not found in the book of Allah is false, even if there were a hundred such conditions. The Qur’an is the paramount source of truth, and conditions established by Allah hold unparalleled authority when compared to any other conditions created by humans” (2). Receiving back more or less or a different type is all a condition that is not from the book of Allah. If the debtor gives some more from the exact same loaned capital from his own self without it having been a condition to the creditor then this is allowed والله تعالى أعلم.
