﷽

Everything in creation has an opposite except Allāh

ليس كمثله شيء

All His Names & Attributes are of Perfection. He is the Irresistible, whom no one can overcome

Know, if there’s good in you, it’ll be met with its opposite

Know, turning to Allāh always yields good. 1/5

That’s why the Prophets met the greatest opposition. They brought the greatest good

عليهم السلام

That’s why Allah tests those whom He loves

That’s why the early Muslims were persecuted

That’s why “those who spend before the Victory” aren’t equal to those who spend after 2/5

The best of his ﷺ followers were tested with their opposites.

Abu Bakr was as-Siddīq. The first challenge of his caliphate was the Wars of Apostasy.

Umar was al-Fārūq. It’s reported he was the door against fitna. When he was assassinated the door of trials opened 3/5

Insightful article and a subject I’ll be covering in my upcoming book, not just from the perspective of statistics, but from the Islamic perspective & my experience in counseling.

Another topic of exploration is the effect of the same parameters on the spousal relationship.

I’ve often made reference to causes of mental health issues in the Muslim Community.

Once again, reporting statistics is important to alert to the problem, but doesn’t offer a solution.

That’s the next step and is a major theme throughout my book.

*Religious experience* is strongly impacting the mental health of Muslims.

Healing our Community is less about the intersection of Islam & Psychology, an after-the-fact approach, as it is about rectifying the core elements of religious experience. Family is a major element.

لو وهبك الرب محباً صادقاً
لا تجحدْ الهدية وكن لها شاكراً

If the Lord grants you a true friend
dare not deny the gift and show gratitude

1/5

واحذرْ فإنك لسْتَ برد الخير بالخير مكرماً
إنْ لمْ تزِدْ عليه جوداً وإلا فبالديْن وافياً

Beware of meeting goodness in kind, for in doing so you are not [as you may think] generous, until you meet it with more, for otherwise, a mere fulfiller of debts you are

2/5

فكيف نكافي من بالبر مبتدي
غير أنْ نقول أنّ المدح له ينبغي

How, then, are we to recompense one who begins with kindness, except to say that for them praise is deserved

3/5

In the last moments of Jumu’ah….

When I commented to Sh. Ashraf that the Wadhīfah is of the most beautiful awrād I have ever read in my life, he responded with words that are very precious to me….

He said, “Iman, your emotions manifest the Divine Attributes.”

Last Friday, when I was reading surat al-Kahf, a sister I’ve been out of touch with for awhile came into my heart. It was random, but I decided to reached out to her and ask about her.

The next day she told me that her father had passed at the time I texted her. Subhan Allah.

Good unlocks good.

Stay away from anyone or anything that acts upon the principle of —

Good unlocks bad.

Dealings with people — conscious or subconscious — imbue moral lessons. These lessons are called ‘khuluq’.

Adhere to the people of good khuluq. You’ll learn positive moral lessons.

When adhering to the people of bad khuluq, you’ll inevitably learn negative moral lessons. This will skew your moral compass and may tamper with your faith or fitra. Very dangerous.

This is the principle behind good suhba. Your inner image will mirror those you keep close.

Was doing daily fiqh review with the children. It’s my habit to develop mock scenarios & ask for the ruling. This question is in the Chapter on Tayammum (Hanafi). Any attempts?

You’re hiking in the woods. You come across a lake, so you begin performing wudu with the lake water

You begin to notice a very red and inflamed rash developing on your washes limbs. Your skin burns terribly.

You felt slightly itchy before but didn’t think much of it. You’re not sure if you’re having an allergic reaction to a plant or to something in the water.

You don’t know if the water is the cause of the rash, cause of exacerbating the rash, or neither. You may not be able to come to a conclusion unless you continuing using the water, but at that point, the harm may already be done.

The only other water you have is for drinking.
