The False Qadi
For the entirety of my life, until now, I —
a. gave consideration to every advice I was ever given
b. never advised anyone else unless they asked for it (or I was obligated to do so), and
c. never once made a judgement on anyone.

The Divine Judge is the One Who matters.
He knows everything.
He never wrongs anyone.
He never makes a mistake.
Allah’s infinite peace & blessings be upon Rasūlullāh, his pure progeny & folk, gleaming companions, illuminated inheritors & all loyal followers until the Last Day

Mistakes in judgement are inevitable.
Make “good mistakes”, you’ll learn the right lessons.
Make bad mistakes, you’ll learn the wrong lessons and think you know.
Don’t make the mistakes that wrong others.
Make the mistake of one who gave good opinion where it wasn’t deserved.

Among the immense evils of social media is occupation with others, with issues outside of one’s religious responsibility (and even scope of influence), and a delusional set of “principles” that govern judgement. Social media is severely anti-tarbiya, teaching the wrong lessons…
Tarbiya is the teaching of good lessons. A form of teaching that imbues deep morality and clarity. In Traditional Islamic societies, tarbiya was imparted in the home, in the masjid, and in the Islamic civilizational ethos passed down through the generations.

من حسن إسلام المرء تركه ما لا يعنيه
When you judge others instead of yourself, what you’re really saying is — I don’t matter, you’re the one who is important. Judging others is actually a sign of lacking *religious self-esteem*, a virtually extinct concept…

The reason people are so inadept at judging ideas and actions is because they are blinded by *personal* judgements.
This is just one way that tasawwuf affects scholarship.
True scholarship judges based on sacred knowledge, not ego…

Sacred knowledge is not attached to people. It is attached to Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

Practical example?
There are certain actions that I’ve spiritually trained myself upon for decades.
When a “shaykh” accuses me of the exact opposite, I’m absolutely sure he is “advising” from his ego or he’s an imposter.
Beware of tasawwuf. It sees what you cannot see…

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَكُونُوا مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ
يرون فيك المحاسن وليس لك في الخلق مثيلُ
نآيسي مما افتقدناه فيك هل لمرآة القلب بديلُ
أنت ملجأ الحق يأوي إليه كل مخلص وحبيبُ
إن مات الإحسن أحييته فأنت عليه دليل و رسولُ
صلوات الله عليك وسلامه…
