Response to a disappointed sister

Dear sister, may Allāh reward you for taking the time out to express your concerns regarding the channel. I appreciate constructive, knowledge-based feedback from everyone as it helps me reflect and strive for improvement in my service to the Ummah. I value the unity of the Ummah and I am trying to do my part by providing beneficial knowledge and resources in line with the Qur'an and Sunnah, as understood by the righteous predecessors. I also acknowledge the importance of addressing obstacles standing in the way of unity through knowledge, wisdom and a sense of accountability before Allāh. Even so, I understand that I cannot please everyone. There will be some who will inevitably be troubled and distressed by some of my content. But let me help ease your concerns and address the issues you raised: 1. You said: "I'm going to leave now" I say: I'd like you to stay and continue benefitting, but I can't force you. Just as joined at your own accord, you're free to leave at your own accord. 2. You said: "and not recommend you to others" I say: I would have responded to you privately if it wasn't for this part. I strongly advise you against this course of action, as my channel is dedicated to promoting good and preventing evil. By warning others against this platform, you would be resembling the enemies of Islam, whom Allāh describes as: ﴿إِنَّ ٱلَّذِینَ كَفَرُوا۟ وَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِیلِ ٱللهِ قَدۡ ضَلُّوا۟ ضَلَـٰلَۢا بَعِیدًا﴾ "Those who disbelieve and hinder ˹others˺ from the Way of Allāh have certainly strayed far away." [Surah An-Nisāʾ: 167] I understand that labelling Omar Suleiman and others like him as deviants and addressing their mistakes may upset some people. However, I encourage you to read until the end to understand why this is necessary. 3. You said: "Even though you send many beneficial things regarding Islamic knowledge..." I say: This is exactly why I discourage you from warning against this channel. I also want you to know that, your warning against the channel will not harm me in the least. You would only be harming yourself. ﴿وَلَا یَحِیقُ ٱلۡمَكۡرُ ٱلسَّیِّئُ إِلَّا بِأَهۡلِهِ﴾ "Evil plotting only backfires on those who plot." [Surah Fāṭir: 43] Moreover, warning others against the channel would only act as a form of promotion, like the poet wisely said: إذا أراد الله نشر فضيلة طويت * أتاح لها لسان حسودِ If Allāh wills to spread a hidden virtue, He allows it to be spoken by the tongue of an envious person. لولا اشتعال النار فيما جاورت * ما كان يعرف طيبُ ريح العودِ Had the fire not ignited in its surroundings, the fragrance of oud would not have been discovered. As long as I am spreading the truth, losing subscribers does not concern me in the least. Al-Fuḍhayl ibn ‘Iyaḍh rahimahullah said: «عليك بطريق الهدى، ولا يضرك قلة السالكين، وإياك وطرق الضلالة، ولا تغتر بكثرة الهالكين» "Adhere to the path of guidance, and do not be disheartened by the scarcity of those who follow it. Beware of the paths of misguidance, and do not be deceived by the multitude of those who are doomed." [Al-I’tisam (1/135)] What truly concerns me is the possibility of you bearing the sins of those you hinder from benefitting: ﴿وَتَذُوقُوا۟ ٱلسُّوۤءَ بِمَا صَدَدتُّمۡ عَن سَبِیلِ ٱللهِ وَلَكُمۡ عَذَابٌ عَظِیمࣱ﴾ "You will taste the evil ˹consequences˺ of hindering ˹others˺ from the Way of Allah, and you will suffer a tremendous punishment." [Surah An-Naḥl: 94] 4. You said: "I have noticed that you are part of deviding the Ummah" I say: This is a fair observation. I aim to divide the Ummah the same way the Prophet ﷺ divided between truth and falsehood. Reflect on this ḥadīth: ((مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ فَرْقٌ بيْنَ النَّاسِ)) "Muhammad ﷺ is the distinction between people." [Bukhari 7281] In another wording: ((مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ فَرَّقَ بيْنَ النَّاسِ)) "Muhammad ﷺ has caused division between the people." What does hadith this mean? https://youtu.be/IrsCIUn2t6I?feature=shared
