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.
For all of those who buy the axis rhetoric, here's a little history lesson from noted Sunnī sectarian partisan, professor John Mersheimer.

I'm 100% abandon Biden/Kamala.
@ButchWare is dead wrong. If you want to run for vice president, good for you. But you don't have the right to make such decisive pronouncements on people's eternal fate.
I myself have had very harsh and stern words for Kamala supporters.
But other than those individuals who have uttered words tantamount to disbelief repeatedly in public, like the blasphemy of @WajahatAli or the extreme divergence from basic Islamic sexual ethics from him & @mehdirhasan I am emphatic that they don't represent us, neither in their beliefs, actions, or aspirations.
I don't recall issuing a formal proclamation of Takfīr. If I did, it would not be about an issue of politics.
Don't let identity politics impose itself on your creed. Creed is Creed, Fiqh is Fiqh, and politics are politics.
Unless he pumps the brakes on his creedal excesses, I'm not going to vote for somebody who's going to substitute one severe problem for another.
You also don't get any legitimacy with Muslims by casting baseless unsubstantiated aspersions on the corpus of Ḥadīth to justify your politics.
If you don't like Saudi, good for you. Leave Ḥadīth out of this. Especially when you barely know how to read Arabic if at all.
I feel sorry for a Muslim who hasn't had a chance to study much, but in general has a very positive and good attitude toward Islam, respect to its knowledge and scholars, and a keen intelligence.
Social media has an environment that leaves them be set on all sides in the valley of darkness by enemies open and hidden.
I see so many things on social media that are written by people who have a dangerous amount of knowledge: by that I mean that they are intermediate students of knowledge but ready to make pronouncements about things that they perhaps don't understand. When they write what they write, or say what they say; they bring with it all of the trappings of authority, and enough proof that a person who hasn't studied professionally will not understand what is wrong with it, even if it doesn't pass their smell test.
Consuming such content can lead to two problems. Firstly, it will lead to incorrect understandings, which is bad, to put it mildly.
Secondly, oftentimes the root of such errors from their producers, have to do with deep-seated drama or psychological issues in such people. By long-term exposure, one may end up falling victim to the same psychiatric pathogen through exposure.
It's difficult even to talk to such people, even when effort is made through direct messaging to address real issues with their online persona. I've had it blow up at me. I've learned first hand that there are too many zombies and not enough lighter fluid.
Go out, hustle, make some effort, and find those people who combine the sound state with sound knowledge. Thereafter take your religion from them. Make your connection with them.
Feel free to hang out on social media for the news, political analysis, interaction with others, and memes. Definitely the memes. Maybe only really actually the memes.
Some information about brother Marcellus Khalīfah Williams funeral prayer and burial, as well as some pressing community issues that his unjust killing and martyrdom have brought to light that need to be remembered and repeated.

They've been doing it since day one.
Faces will be perturbed when facing the Living and All-Sustaining, and bereft of hope shall be those who carry transgression...

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...

Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn: Ḥadd Punishments & Runaway Slaves
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...

The leader of Hezbolat was qualitatively just as genocidal as zog.
If you don't believe me, ask the people of Ḥalab spread across the world & the wierdo mercenaries living in their homes.
He was a deviant & his group are deviants.
The nicest thing I can say is that people like him & his group are like weeds in the gardens of Islam; whatever their intentions were, their speech & actions were crooked & the Gardener removing them is a mercy both for them & the gardener, if they truly believed.
Unlike when Kasem Solemani was mirked by his previous benefactors, I will not gloat because of how traumatized our people are by the general spectacle of the cheap spilling of blood that now so visually surrounds us.
But until we can differentiate between who is a friend and who is an artificial friend-flavores grifter, we will not proceed as a people.
Unity is not a question of including Hasan Nasr or not; actual choices between him and the raped, murdered & displaced people of Iraq and Syria. And I choose unity with the latter.
If you think this post has nothing to do with Palestine, you are dead wrong, and maybe better served in life by smoking cigarettes and lottery tickets.
Look at the galaxy and constellation of leaders who are completely whack, who have raised the issue of Palestine, managed to become famous and powerful with it in hand while simultaneously not doing a damn thing about it.
The nature of Īmān, according to Ḥadīth, it's such that it renders a less sophisticated believer liable to being gullible. It doesn't mean you have to be gullible, rather you have to be on guard against it, without turning into a complete cynical and jaded old man with all of the charm of a desiccated slug.
