In general, living a happy and successful life conditioned on necessary dependence by narcotics, alcohol, psychedelics or what are euphemistically referred to as "mind altering substances," IS NEITHER HAPPY NOR SUCCESSFUL.
Just like steroids will yield results, at the expense of causing your testicles to shrivel up because they no longer can produce testosterone, trying to augment your mind by undermining it is a spiritually a suicidal fail.
People talk about seeing demons in psychedelic trips.
My friends from school told me about seeing the devil himself when drunk, or feeling his presence.
It's all evil, and any attempt to justify it is just a cope.
I thank the Lord, that for all of the stresses and difficulties of my life, I never had to nuke my brain in order to deal with it.
And neither should you...
What did the messenger of Allāh ﷺ mean when he prohibited a woman from "spilling out what was in her sister's vessel?"

Allāh Ta'ālā asks in His book, has not time come for the believers for their hearts to be humbled in front of the remembrance of God and that which came down from the Truth?
Later in the same verse of Sūrat Ḥadīd He asks has so much time passed? That now you're hearts have become hard?
Are you bored with Him?
Are you bored with His prophet ﷺ?
Are you bored with the Qur'ān?
Are you bored with the Sunnah?
We do not need to reform, but renew. That obligation exists in every believer, in their life, in their year, in months, days, hours, and in their every breath.

A discussion about how to use things of general societal import without causing others to resent you, how to, as a father, deal with your family in a way that keeps them together rather than drive them apart with resentment.
Finally, a heart-rending recounting of the love of martyrdom from the best of this Ummah, the companions of the Messenger Allāh Ta'ālā ﷺ, may Allāh Ta'ālā be pleased with them all.
We represent Islam to non-muslims primarily through our creed, not sacred law.
That being said, many antagonists try to bait people into fear by portraying the legally mandated exemplary physical punishments of the sacred law, or Ḥudūd, as some kind of maximalist stateist interventional nightmare; but far from being the spectacle of barbarism and cruelty, it actually is much more effective as a deterrent, and a lighter punishment on the criminal in both worlds.
Put blessings into your time while walking or doing chores and have a listen.

Sunnah Duʿā In a Storm
اللّٰهُمَّ حَواليْنا ولا عَلَينا
Allāh, let it come down around us, not on us.
Read it whenever you can or where you feel that the storm is a threat or danger. Repeat it if you should find yourself in difficulty.
Allāh Ta'ālā protect you and your loved ones and the righteous from every type of harm including the storm.
May the righteous be spared and the unrepentant wicked swept into the sea.

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn
The Etiquette of:
-Not praying your own prayers when the congregation is called to stand
-Not sitting on graves
-Not building on graves
-Not specifying Fridays for fasting and night prayers
Peppered with politics, history and much more...
On the authority of Abū Hurayrah, Allāh be pleased with him: the messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
"The world is the prison of the believer and paradise of the disbeliever."
-Muslim
The sunnah combines the elements of the perfection of outward form with inward reality and gives us a goal to constantly strive towards:
some discussion regarding the etiquets of prayer in the wisdoms behind them, as well as to etiquettes of graves.

Why isn't anything happening? Is Iran playing 7-D Multidimensional Space Chess?
Look, it's not that complicated.
1-Netan-Yahoo (Yahoo not in the biblical, but Gulliverian sense) is going to jail soon without a war with Iran
2-Our government, through its military envoy made it clear that it can't keep it's presence in the Eastern Mediterranean indefinitely and will not participate in an offensive war, but will defend it's illegitimate spawn in Tel-Aviv.
3-Netan-Yahoo thus needs to provoke Iran into a war in the next few weeks. That's why pagers, intense bombing, Operation Hassouneh, etc.
4-Iran doesn't want to get cooked by the zog air force, and is already completely compromised internally to Mossad, who at this point, assassinate at will within its borders (either that or they are actually on the same team, which is too gross to even think about)
5-So they left their proxy pet to die and will do a grand total of net 0 to even avenge him, much less win any confrontation.
This was not about Palestine, even though it was relevant to it.
I'm now interested to see if Syria and parts of Iraq will also be left to the dogs in order to save Gormehsabzistán or it will stay standing.
The type of war the people of Ghazzah are fighting is a war of survival and honor.
The type of war Iran & its proxies are fighting is more like an evening at the poker table, and it seems they have folded for the night, Hezbolat, Hasooneh & a kidney from Assad being what they have lost in this round.

We are commended to enter into submission completely.
This means waking up for the dawn prayer, and fasting in Ramaḍan.
But there are many things that also means, that people miss out on because of their heedlessness or stark ignorance.
If you want to make it to your destination in your journey to your Lord you have to make sure that you're transactions are clean.
You don't, the only wonderful thing is yourself.

I was never given platform on MSNBC, DNC, RNC or FOX.
I had a friend who was on a planning committee for an ISNA convention who said (unbeknownst to me) that he suggested my name one year as a speaker, to be told by the HQ guys that they didn't want "too many Desis."
Even MSAs seem to be reluctant to call me, even though, unlike many of their speakers, I'm an MSA4LIFEer, due to a type of fear of anything that doesn't have a certain æsthetic.
It was very difficult to find anyone who would rent a space for Ribāṭ to me, with particular antagonism from Muslim landlords. Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn is currently being taught in what is now nearly its tenth & Inshā'Allāh final location before Khatm.
I am not a good public speaker (my umm/ah count is astronomical), nor the most learned or pious of my colleagues.
But guess what? Allāh Ta'ālā opened a door for me & I hustle around despite it all.
My message reaches where it needs to reach & it has toppled idols & will overturn thrones, by Allāh Ta'ālā 's permission.
May my Lord accept it from all who listen & may His grace envelope us all.

We often pray for upright men of integrity to take the reins of this affair on our behalf.
But when they come, we seem to turn our backs on them like the children of Israel, opting instead to save our hearts for the most wretched of misers, narcissists, psychopaths, and fluffy entertainers.
It's time to take another look at what our hearts connect to...

In addition to the Creed workshop in Parsippany announced on this list before (see above), check out these additional programs this weekend that I have New Jersey.

Exert Your Own Efforts & Keep Grinding
A disciple asked his Shaykh Muhammad Ḥasan for his special Tawajjuh (spiritual attention); he responded that he is a humble student of knowledge and gives his Tawajjuh to all equally. Then he asked do you give your own Tawajjuh to your progress?
It is well known that the Naqshabandiyyah teach about the spiritual path in a progression of lessons, the next lesson not being given until the previous is mastered. A disciple once asked Khwāja Khān Muḥammad, the Shaykh of the Naqshabandiyyah in Pakistan during my days of study, what he should do now that he's completed his lessons.
"Start over again. Other than this (struggle) you won't find anything else here."
This idea someone will somehow ride on the train of their Shaykh's station is an incorrect notion.
That doesn't mean that the disciple doesn't benefit, rather, it means that in order to benefit one must exert effort, thereby constructing a medium through which the Shaykh's prayers, station & blessings can shine.
Otherwise, one's struggles aren't over until they enter their grave.
ايمان چون سلامت به لبِ گور بريم
أحسنتُ در اين چستي وچلاكئ ما
"Let's go all the way to the edge of the grave with an Īmān free of blemish.
Then we can say how perfect was our strength & cleverness..." (Shāh ʿabd al-Qādir Gaylānī)
Taken & paraphrased from Ustādjī Mawlānā Ḥasan.

Forget about the UN.
The messenger of Allāh ﷺ said whoever is killed defending his life, honor or Dīn, dies a martyr.
For those in the surrounding areas who are able to, the text of the Risālah of ibn Abī Zayd indicates joining in the defense of Lebanon against the Zionist usurper is an obligation.
My prayers are with the righteous defenders of all that is decent against the army of rapists & babykillers.
Allāh Ta'ālā give aid to those who go out in His path.
If your afraid to say it to others, at least say āmīn to your Lord!
Is Shayṭān your enemy? Does he care if you curse the companions, believe that the Qur'ān has been tampered with, or that there are 5/7/12 people with all of the traits of prophets, but they liberally decieve people frequently and are only truly known by a few untrustworthy narrators from Kūfah that didn't really spend much quality time with them, or that anyone who doesn't believe their stuff is a complete hypocrite, i.e. a Muslim in form only, but a non-believer in internal reality, to the point that they refer to their other fellow cult members as "Mu'min" because they don't believe all of the muslims to be such? Asking for 1 billion+ friends.
Like i get the need for strategic alliances, but they are better executed with eyes open rather than being a convenient skippity do-dah idiot willing to sacrifice both worlds for someone else's myopic goals...
