Rahma is pivotal in the Quran, almost all its meanings revolve around it. In our tafsir podcast, we’ll identify 40 axes upon which the proper understanding of the Quran revolves, representive of the foundational divine imperatives and that lead to the “True Recitation”…
Without this understanding, Religion is stunted and deviant, foreign meanings enter it.

It is when these meanings are lost, that their spiritual absorption into the heart is in jeopardy and a reaffirmation of them becomes obligatory.

اللهم صلّ وسلّم وبارك على سيدنا محمد وآله
This is our motivation behind Fitra Foundation’s “True Recitation” podcast. Season Two upcoming…

Allah’s infinite peace & blessings be upon Rasūlullāh, his pure progeny & folk, gleaming companions, illuminated inheritors and all loyal followers.
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد نورِ الأنوار ،و سر الأسرار، وترياق الأغيار ، ومفتاح باب اليسار ،سيدنا محمد المختار ،و آله الأطهار ، وأصحابه الأخيار ،عدد نعم الله و افضاله

This is the reality in most Muslim households. Many fathers are absent due to the prevalent #religious_rhetoric that “men’s work” is outside the home. It has no basis in the Religion and is damaging generations. This is a human virtue that is fully backs by the sacred law…
By the agreement of reputable scholars (including @habibomar @alhabibabobakr), parenthood is a divine trust bestowed on both mother and father.

In fact, based on the sacred law, the primary responsibility for the tarbiya of the family is UPON THE FATHER. This requires presence.
That is what family leadership is about and the core of guardianship is to undertake the care of another through the dictates of divine mercy and prophetic teaching.

It is truly sickening to see so much of the “masculinity” discourse on MT focused on a delusional sense…

High Aspirations

Poetry found its pinnacle in the pre-Islamic Arabs. Even as they were immersed in evil practices, they retained their sense of intrinsic morality (fitra). When Islam refined their craft, Muslim poets embodied the best of human archetypes in their verses… Image
Some classical scholars have posited that the seeds of the fitra still ripe in the Arabs was of the causes they were chosen as first recipients of the Revelation. In our current discourse on Islam donning the cultural garb of its ‘host’ society, this is a critical point to note..
Islam will affirm cultural expressions that run parallel to its ethical imperative, but it will also refine and elevate them. This requires a transcendance above exclusively worldly objectives. Culture is often rooted in the earthly. Religious culture is rooted in the celestial.

“The one in whose heart love has settled, can’t find it in himself to leave praise [of Rasūlullāh ﷺ]…”

Reflect deeply on what happens to Religion when it loses its spiritual element. It loses its HUMAN element (the heart).

When people ignorantly criticize the mawlid …
saying the sahaba loved Rasūlullāh ﷺ more than anyone yet never celebrated his mawlid, they should ask themselves — was the connection of the sahaba to Rasūlullāh ﷺ just through the mind or did they have a HUMAN CONNECTION to him?

Was their love manifest in words or deeds?
There’s absolutely no comparison between the sahaba & us. Allah be well pleased with them. They gave their lives for Rasūlullāh ﷺ. Today, we give almost nothing for this Religion and then sit around criticizing prophetic inheritors for calling to his love ﷺ through the mawlid

The Sway of Words

احذر كلمة حق من كاذب

Beware of a word of truth uttered by a liar.

This is the trap of dajjal, and it is most prevalent on social media.

How many posts speak truth while contradicting it in the very same breath…
Talk of justice, while speaking oppressively.
Talk of sacred knowledge, while acting ignorantly.
Talk of modesty, while displaying preposterously.
Talk of character, while dealing imprudently.
Talk of pleasing God, while displeasing Him.

TRUTH IS NOT CONTRADICTORY.
Words have a spiritual effect, beyond their purport, by the spiritual state of the speaker.

Receptivity to “advice” from wrong sources is not positive, even if true.

The idea that one can benefit from “knowledge” from wherever it comes is a falacy.

TRUTH IS NOT GENERIC.

Any speaker who labels any act has issued a sacred ruling. If they’re not a faqih, if they haven’t studied fiqh & usūl for the majority of their lives, if they’re not upright examples of Islam themselves, what they say means absolutely nothing. Full stop. No exceptions.
If you “call them out”, you are likewise issuing a sacred ruling by disagreeing. These speakers live on attention. Even when you disagree with them, you are helping them. That’s how shaytan work. Stay away. Ignore. Seek real knowledge. Anything else is religious vigilantism.
We have conveyed. Alhamdulillāh.

May Allah’s infinite peace & blessings be upon Rasūlullāh, his pure progeny & folk, along with his gleaming companions, illuminated inheritors and all his loyal followers until the Last Day.

On Disagreement

Vilification of anyone isn’t scholarly (nor decent human) behavior.

A scholar, if in fact so, (male/female) may be correct on one occasion, incorrect on another.

Scholarly discourse addresses principles, not people.

Social media is the exact opposite…
If a behavior isn’t something Rasūlullāh ﷺ would do - while he is the very reference for truth and morality - then it obviously isn’t acceptable of a (fallible) scholar who may nor may not be correct.

Error is human.
Arrogance is deadly.

Scholarship is prophetic.

ﷺ
Few scholars have the wisdom to combine sacred knowledge and tarbiya.

This is where the connection between ‘ilm & #tasawwuf comes into play.

It’s critical to distinguish between lack of knowledge (in the first place), breaches of trust, and valid scholarly disagreement…
