Peace be upon you and the mercy of God, dear brothers. These images are from a joyous event that took place last Friday. What is the story behind this event? I will tell you now, for the story holds beautiful meanings and good tidings that elevate the spirit.
The story begins a few months ago when some brothers completed the translation of the "Series on Women" into the Kurdish language. The series currently consists of 18 episodes, aiming to address questions, comfort the hearts of Muslim women, and soothe their hearts with the Sharia of their Lord, the Almighty, guiding them out of confusion, contradiction, and disturbance.
Thanks to God the Almighty, the "Asitana Association" in the Kurdistan Region announced a competition for the sisters in Kurdistan titled: "Mother Aisha Competition, may God be pleased with her".
The competition included episodes from the series, along with lectures from a group of distinguished brothers among the Kurdish Muslims, including:
These brothers combined religious sciences, da'wah, and natural sciences, particularly medical ones, which is a beautiful thing we encourage our brothers everywhere to do.
The competition began, and over 20,000 sisters in Kurdistan registered for it; among them were young girls, married women, and mothers with children. There was great interest, effort in studying, and following the clips.
Many sisters approached the clips academically, like those studying at university; they wrote summaries, created mind maps, and shared them among themselves. A special "Telegram" channel was created for the competition, which saw significant interaction. The sisters expressed their profound impact from the competition's materials and their reflection on their lives and psychological stability.
The competition concluded with around 3,600 participants, and 1,100 sisters succeeded. The top ten winners each received a Hajj trip, and the next ten winners each received a "tablet".
This joyous event was held last Friday to honor these sisters in the presence of their families. The brothers at the Asitana Association had asked me to record a clip mentioning the names of the top winners and encouraging them, which I did. The clip was translated into Kurdish and presented at the event.
Glory be to God, dear ones, this event is filled with what delights the heart:
First: No Place for Despair or Frustration But rather a call to action, work, and support for the truth and suppression of falsehood until we meet our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, at the Pond by the permission of God the Almighty. So hurry, dear ones, remembering the words of God the Almighty: "Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? * It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples to the people that perhaps they will be reminded."
Many competitions have been held based on the "Series on Women," and we have heard heartwarming stories of its impact. Similarly, the words of the other brothers had a positive effect. May God show us one witness after another that we must work and not stop with our hands wringing in despair, fearing the conspiracies of the enemies of religion. "And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know."
Millions are spent, and agreements are made to destroy the Muslim family and corrupt the Muslim woman. Then, if God wills, He nullifies that with a course, a lecture, and a good word. God the Almighty says: "But We will throw with the truth upon falsehood, and it will destroy it, and thereupon it will vanish." The hidden power of truth makes a simple effort shake falsehood. So, race for good deeds, seize opportunities, and do not waste time. Know that God does not waste the reward of the good-doers.
Second: The High Spirit of the Translation Team Greetings to our brothers and sisters in the Kurdish translation team, who worked seeking the face of God, as we consider them, without any material reward.
Third: Transcending Islamic Brotherhood These brothers transcended the barriers of language, geography, and the manufactured borders between the lands of the Muslims. Our brothers who organized the competition and our sisters who participated did not look at the nationality of the speakers; whether Arab or Kurdish is not important, what matters is that the reference is the Book of God and the Sunnah of His Prophet, peace be upon him. This is a great example of the words of God the Almighty: "The believers are but brothers."
Fourth: The High Spirit of the Kurdish Speakers Those with different specialties, their zeal in calling to God the Almighty and making His Sharia beloved to the daughters of the Muslims, and integrating natural sciences with the Sharia vision.
Fifth: The Generosity of the Brothers in the Asitana Association And their spending of money for the sake of God with good hearts, as we consider them, and their implementation of the words of God the Almighty: "The believers, men and women, are protectors of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong, and establish prayer and give zakah, and obey Allah and His Messenger. For them, Allah will bestow mercy. Indeed, Allah is Exalted in Might and Wise."
Sixth: The Spirit of Our Kurdish Sisters Participating Those who dealt with beneficial materials seriously, acting upon the words of their Prophet, peace be upon him: "Seek what benefits you, and seek help from God and do not be helpless."
Seventh: The Interaction of the Noble Muslim People in Kurdistan With this competition and the beautiful encouraging comments on social media, reflecting the vitality of the Ummah and its adherence to its religion.
Eighth: The Significance of the Noble Name of the Competition "Our Mother Aisha, may God be pleased with her"; an expression of the Mothers of the Believers, the wives of the Trustworthy Prophet, peace be upon him, for they are the righteous and pure role models for all Muslim women.
I would like to mention the names of the winning sisters with pride and honor, asking God the Almighty to make them beacons of light and guidance, not only for Kurdish Muslims but for all Muslim women. The sisters are:
As mentioned, there are also 10 sisters whose prize was a "tablet".
Greetings from me and from Muslims everywhere to our brothers and sisters in Kurdistan. We ask God to unite us in His obedience and the support of His religion, then in His Paradise, the Abode of His Honor. God the Almighty says: "Indeed, this, your religion, is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me."
We await more of these models, more competitions, and more translations into languages, and for them, we have all the support and encouragement by the permission of God the Almighty. "And say, 'Do [your deeds]. Indeed, Allah will see your deeds, and [so will] His Messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed, then He will inform you of what you used to do."
Peace be upon you and the mercy of God and His blessings.
