حدثني زوجتي
My wife narrated to me the story of a Pakistani saint who was writing Quranic exegesis but was lacking unveiling and enlightenment so could not write more. Suddenly he thought about hens at home. So, he came back from Masjid and released them from cage. When he came back his heart was illuminated with spiritual ideas.

کیا راویوں پر شدید جرح کرنا تکبر اور غیبت کا سبب بن سکتا ہے

Ovamir Anjum I being a Pakistani revere Imam Tahawi and Imam Nasai who do not seem to be pro asceticism. Imam Bukhari who is the pinnacle of accuracy include truthful Shia like Abaan bin Taghlab which does not make Haqq as simplistic as even educated Muslims think. Abu Nuaym Isfahani seems to be a candidate for bridging textual accuracy and asceticism. All of these names are Ahl al Sunna some of whom can see how over judgemental textual criticism can lead to orientalist and modernist skepticism. But again I do not want to become a party for promoting irrational extremist ignorance but only to be cautious about the project of judgemental intellectual burnout which empowers academic pharisees and increases an inequality called اذا وسد الامر الي غير اهله . May Allah make us all the Companions of our promised utopian leadership through consensus and collective Ijtihad and Wara. May Allah reward you for your passion for Haqq and Tawhid and may Allah protect us from Jewish bibliophilia and Christian trinitarian gnosticism.

آج اللہ نے شاہ عبد الحق محدث دہلوی کا فیض جمالی مغربی جدید متقین کے سامنے بیان کرنے کا موقع دیا

اللہ بارگاہ رسالت میں یہ ہدیہ قبول فرمائے

I was raised in a family like Protestants and Salafis, but now I see why Salafism has an implicit modernist bias. Of course, my father always warned about ghuluww, but infinite caution led to a kind of anti sentimental Freudian dictatorship. Modern worldview of everything is fair in love should at least give a partial license to traditional obsessive lovers of Prophet (s) who are not academically qualified but find it easy to live the Prophetic praxis of sunnah which can be difficult if not impossible to live in post modernist America.

According to Quran we should be information specific during public panic. I heard Dr Atta of HEC. He seems the most popular respectful expert and apparent not very anti traditional public figure to turn to. But he does not seem to be an attention addict like Hoodbhoy.

امام شاطبی آج پاکستان کے  وفاقی وزیر کے ساتھ ہوتے کیونکہ مقاصد شریعت کا مقصد ہی انسانوں کی جان بچانا ہے اگر نفاذ شریعت کے دعویدار جان نہیں بچا سکتے تو انہیں اقتدار کا حق نہیں البتہ میں قیامت کے دن عمران خان کی محبت سے دور رہ کر پیش ہونا چاہتا ہوں

To antivaxxer and conspiracy-minded corona martyrs, we failed to build your trust in science but scientists like me mean you no harm. Militant secularists first discriminate and intimidate you into defensive ignorance, then call you suicidal and celebrate sadistically. But with a little open-mindedness we can deistically reverse the tide of global apostasy and vaccination dictatorship together.

There are two approaches within Islam: Abiding approach and remembrance approach. In first approach being punctual to God by not missing any of five prayers is important. In remembrance approach, try to see God or at least trying to imagine God seeing you is important which is mostly practised in pre-dawn tahajjud prayer. Both stimulate different areas of brain different to each other and other faith traditions.

Being an Indo Aryan post Buddhist Sufi, I see democratic spirituality common to Christ and Buddha as evident in Catholicism where Catholic means universal. Jesus belonged to a chosen race yet his doormat ethics is universal like Sufism. Buddha also implicitly revolted against genetic Hindu privilege which was embraced by lower Aryan castes like mine and neighbouring central asians who competed with higher Brahman Aryan privilege.
