The Potential of an Ummah

I swear by the One Who sent our Master Muhammad ﷺ to this Earth,

this Ummah won’t reach

الحقيقة المحمدية
The Muhammadan Reality

except through

العلم المحمدي
Muhammadan Knowledge, which is found only in the prophetic inheritors…
The inner recitation is only true if it is in COMPLETE ALIGNMENT with the external recitation, both of which can only be reached through those who have already reached it.

This is plain to anyone of intellect and sincerity.

Otherwise, satan has his own reading too…
صلاح الظاهر بصلاح العقيدة والفقه
وصلاح الباطن بالتصوف

The rectification of the outward is through correct ‘aqīdah and fiqh.

The rectification of the inward is through [the correct states of] Tasawwuf.

This is our Tradition.
As for those who aren’t interested in haqā’iq in the first place, how can they make claim to Rasūlullāh ﷺ in the first place. Those who claim to relate to him ﷺ better than those who have achieved the Realities of the Religion, have reached a reality of a different sort…
I swear by the One Who sent Master Muhammad ﷺ
بالحنيفية السمحة
بالحجة الساطعة
بالخلق العظيم
بالكمال المبين
Sufi Masters REDEFINE GENIUS
their minds, beyond imagination
their hearts, vaster than the universe

In next #tafsir lesson, we’ll visit another orbit, a special one…
إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كان أُمَّةً قَانِتًا لِّلَّهِ حَنِيفًا ولم يَكُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
اللهم اصلح وارحم وفرج عن أمة سيدنا محمد
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد نورِ الأنوار وسر الأسرار وترياق الأغيار ومفتاح باب اليسار سيدنا محمد المختار وآله الأطهار وأصحابه الأخيار عدد نعم الله وافضاله

﷽

In upcoming #tafsir lesson, we’ll discuss—

1 The Quranic Family

2 internal recitation vs. personal reflection

3 adab with the Quran that leads to internal recitation

4 another law of the Quranic universe

5 the maqam of mushāhada

6 the name of new sub-genre of tafsir
7 some of my personal spiritual experiences with the Quran.

It is very difficult for me to reveal 7 and, as a general rule I don’t, however there were some matters that can only be clarified by doing so and thus…

الضرورة تقدر بقدرها

May Allah make it easy. آمين
اللهم صل على سيدنا محمد نورِ الأنوار وسر الأسرار وترياق الأغيار ومفتاح باب اليسار ،سيدنا محمد المختار ،وآله الأطهار وأصحابه الأخيار عدد نعم الله و افضاله

On Discipline Without Anger

Several #parents have reached out requesting advice on this. I find this question a little strange, because much of parenting has to do with basic ethics. As adults, we don’t obey those whom we don’t respect. Children aren’t any different…
Without respect, even love isn’t an effective deterrent to negative behavior. So, the real question is — how do parents build respect in the relationship with their children.

First, for child too young to even understand respect, that is a special stage with different rules.
However, for children with enough cognitive and emotional development to recognize when and how respect is to be shown, then fostering it isn’t much different than the adult process.

The following are 10 ways that I’ve fostered respect and positive discipline with my children.

“I wish I had a mother like yours.”

Fourth grade was one of the years my daughter attended school. Everyday, when I dropped her off, I’d kiss her forehead, hug her, say I love you, then leave with a smile & salam. Her classmate, who had observed this, said the above to her.
My daughter was reminded of the great blessing she has, but it was sad to hear this from another child. On another occasion, after receiving a low grade, the girl asked her if I’d get angry at it. My daughter, who thought the question strange, asked why. The girl said that her…
…parents get angry with her when she doesn’t get an A. This is unknown in our family. Healthy children want to do well. I’ve taughy my children that there are only two possibilities, either she did your best and needs to work on her weakness (which I always offer to help with)

A Muslim’s Guide to Psychology

Many Muslims don’t know how to balance the religious rulings pertaining to parents with the negative consequences on their mental and emotional health in EIP situations. As a religious scholar, I recieve several inquiries about this.
Instead of explaining the religious command in context, many engage the topic with #religious_rhetoric. Beyond the psychological element of parenting, it’s imperative for Muslims to understand the spiritual fallout of being raised by EIPs.
As spiritual development begins in the pre-rational phase, children internalize attitudes toward God through parents. Formative biological bonds leave a spiritual imprint on children, creating base fitri-faith associations that will affect spiritual capacity far into adulthood.

ما سمعنا له كلمة واحدة تخلو عن حكمة

حبيبنا ومولانا وسيدنا وشيخنا الحبيب أبو بكر المشهور

لم نر قبله ولا بعده مثله

رحمه الله تعالى وجمعنا به في الفردوس الأعلى

أقرب الناس إلى الله أفهمهم عنه…
You haven’t loved Rasūlullāh ﷺ until you’ve loved his #inheritors
I can’t look upon him without weeping, and when he speaks, I know what he wants me to do…

He is not just a scholar.

He is a lighthouse of guidance.

May Allah keep us firm on his way.
He speaks of the use of women in advertising, objectifying them for monetary gain. He contrasts it with the greatest of woman, our lady Fatima عليها السلام

He speaks of the ‘worship of desires’, a culture of nakedness, as being unknown in our Umma, an evil modern infusion…

﷽

Family isn’t utopia. God help you if an Egyptian woman gets angry with you. Parents are flawed. Being a mature adult ‘child’ begins with forgiveness and proactively determining our own behavior.

When she’d get angry (for really no valid reason), I’d remember Abu Hanifa…
His mother would curse him in public, even during his religious lessons. He never responded angrily, never defended himself.

I’d say in my heart, “Are you better than Imam Abu Hanifa?”

Allah’s choicest mercy be upon him and grant us from his ‘ilm, ‘amal, and khuluq. Amin.
If students of knowledge cannot imbibe themselves with the character of an Imam, they will not understand him, nor his ethics, nor how his heart shaped his mind nor how his mind shaped his fiqh.

Imam Abu Hanifa was both an intellectual and spiritual genius.
