Someone really should write a letter to the Queen inviting her to Islam before the inevitable happens. That’s what the Prophet ﷺ would do if he were here.
To Her Royal Highness Queen Elizabeth I, monarch of the United Kingdom.
Peace be upon the followers of guidance….
Now I’ve thought of it, I’ll have to do it
I meant Elizabeth II (not 1st)!
Should really be a world leader or monarch who does it…
1: Keep Ramadan real simple.
Clear unnecessary things off your calendar. Have a number of core Ibadat & ease yourself into the rhythm of Ramadan in the 1st week. What went well last year & what didn’t? How could you manage better this time?
2: Set up automated Sadaqah!
This is one of the easiest things you can do to have peace of mind that your reward is secured insha Allah for Lailatul Qadr and all of the days of Ramadan, when rewards are multiplied: Go to launchgood.com/teamramadan to set up automated giving
3: Prepare 2 types of fixed prayer spaces at home
One communal prayer space, and one personal prayer space. Place all essential things you need for your prayer & du'a times right there: mus-haf, du'a book, water, dates & nuts, notebook, Qur'an stand, Qur'an translation etc.
10 things I’ve learned about PRODUCTIVITY as a Muslim
🧵
1. Mortality Motivation
You only have a finite number of years on earth. Choose the pain of discipline over the pain of regret. Pray to God to guide your way, say Bismillah and get started…
2. Foundational Habits:
X hours sleep, morning dhikr, daily Qur’an, foods high in protein & healthy fats, regular resistance exercise, make you way more productive & focused. Identify your foundational habits & schedule them in as a must. Create processes that boost productivity
Ideas for .@DouglasKMurray and pals to win back Europe from the Muslims🧕🏼they fear so much and prevent its demise:
1. Start going Church and kickstart mass revival of Christianity, moving ppl away from atheism & meaningless ideologies. (Whaddya mean you don’t want to go Church?)
2. Encourage a mass baby boom amongst non-Muslims consistently for multiple generations (encourage women to settle down younger, have more babies, revive marriage even. It means discouraging alternative lifestyles and materialistic concerns about having big families).
3. Invent a new religion, with a scripture as compelling as the Qur’an anchored by deeply embedded truths that people are willing to live and fight for, even give up their lives for. (Yep- a doomed project)
Children do not lose their Iman overnight. Parents please be vigilant. Don’t allow your teens to become strangers in their own homes. When you see your child or household culture going down a slippery slope - it’s time for renewal and intervention. Sooner rather than later.
🧵
1. Connection with Allah
Do they talk to Allah? Do they know Allah? Do you pray and make du’a together? Are you establishing prayers in the house? At least some prayers in jama’ah? Salah protects from shamelessness and sin.
2. Connection with you as parent.
Do you show them love and attention? Can they come have banter and test ideas and worries with you? Do you spend plenty of time together? Can you help them with any questions they have?
Do sisters writing about the Emma Barnett female Imams debacle, referring to their fight against ‘patriarchy’ realise that they are saying worse than anything Barnett did. They are literally parroting leftist/feminist/orientalist labelling of Islam as patriarchal?
We submit to the Divine, yes. The Divine is neither male nor female.
However the highest authority in our deen was the Prophet Muhammad S. who was a MAN. The eponyms of our foremost legal schools were MEN. The head of the family is the man. Are you fighting against that?
We had Mothers of the Believers who were also legal authorities - they are our matriarchs. Islam doesn’t fit the feminist paradigm.
Are we so intellectually colonised that we must use the language and labellings of Western feminism to view our own Deen?
