Truly saddened by state of affairs in New Zealand and the atrocity committed against our innocent brothers and sisters who had come to perform prayers to Allah azzawajal, the Lord of the worlds...
Summary of some points from the advice of our noble brothers Abu Khadeejah, Hasan As Somali, Abu Ishaq Nadeem and Abu Humayd...
1. Having patience and returning back to Allah azzawajal in times of calamities
2. The great persecution faced by the Sahaabas, especially those who were weak and didn't have much tribal support. The likes of Bilaal and family of Yaasir... The Prophet sallallaahu alayhi wasallam giving them glad tidings of Jannah for the great harm they faced at the hands of mushrikeen and were still patient upon the worship of Allah azzawajal
3. These incidents serves as a reminder for us to return back to Allah azzawajal even more and engrossing ourselves in ilm and learning the deen
4. Not being overcome by emotions and not going overboard with our emotions such that we cross the boundaries legislated by Allah azzawajal
5. The importance of refuting and exposing the extremist ideologies (even during times of these incidents where muslims are the victims) propagated by some muslims and warning our Muslim brothers and sisters from extremist ideologies. As Islam is free from such practice and likewise Islam calls for justice even if crime committed by muslims or people claiming Islam.
6. The increase of far right extremism in several nations and the fact that many of these are well funded initiatives behind the scenes. Hence the need for muslims to support Salafi organisations even more, and also financially so that it allows them to propagate true message of Islam to non muslims.
7. Not partaking in demonstration and similar activities as these are not legislated in Islam and there is much harm in these activities and they actually lack substance
If you want to truly make an effect n impact, then wake up in last part of the night and sincerely ask Allah azzawajal for help n assistance
8. Not to share video or pics of sufferings of our brothers and sisters and there are not legislated and further stirs emotions (reference statement of the aalim sh Fawzaan)
9. The huge mercy and generosity of Allah azzawajal, indicated in the Verse of Surah Al Buruj, verse 10, the english translation of which is -
That if a person were to repent sincerely, even from such serious atrocities, Allah azzawajal would accept the repentance...
10. Number of reasons for us to hope best for our brothers and sisters:
A. Passed away on the best day of week. Friday
B. Protection from trial of grave due to passing away on Friday - “No Muslim dies on the day or night of Friday, but Allah will protect him from the trial of the grave.” Hadīth
C. Passed away in the most sacred of places from the houses of Allah. Masjid
D. Their names being written down by the Angels before the start of Friday Khutbah
E. Waiting for prayer (as though a person is in prayer as established by authentic narration)
F. In state of zikr or Qur'an recitation or prayer...
G. A huge number of Muslims around the world, male and female, young and old, commoners and Scholars, making dua and forgiveness for them
Inshaallah we hope for the best for these people and ask Allah azzawajal to grant them the highest of station in paradise and to grant strength to their families and relatives. Aameen.

Side point: It's truly amazing to see these usooli advice (based on firm principles) from our noble brothers and how strikingly similar they are in nature even though it is highly unlikely that all of these brothers had coordinated with each other to speak on this topic. By hearing these lectures it sounds as though they all are speaking from one voice, one source and how true the statement of Abu al-Qasim al-Asbahani (d. 535H) (rahimahullaah) as found in al-Hujjah Fee Bayaan il-Mahajjah (2:224-225): And from what shows that the people of hadeeth [adhering to the Prophetic traditions in all affairs of the religion], they are the people of truth is that if you were to peruse all of their authored books, from their first to their last, the old and the recent, despite the variation in their cities [of residence] and their eras [in which they lived], and the [great] distance between them in their lands, with every single one of them residing in [his own] region amongst the regions, you will find them to be upon a single method, [in unison], upon a single way, traversing with it upon a path that they do not divert from, they do not incline [to anything else] whilst upon it....
