  • Duration of ethical utopia

    According to Islam, one day of pious justice is better than sixty years of worship and remembrance of God. The duration of ethical utopia isn’t important.

  • On Malaysia and Saudi Arabia

    Imam Ahmad is teacher of Saudi Arabia. Imam Shafii is teacher of Malaysia. Imam Shafii is senior to Imam Ahmad, and Imam Ahmad respected him. Saudis should respect Imam Shafii and Malaysians should respect Imam Ahmad. Pakistan follows Imam Abu Hanifa who is senior to both. Pakistanis know nothing about Imam Shafii and Imam Ahmad due to Indian cultural influence. I love Shafiis of Yemen more than Shafiis of Malaysia.

  • Local tribes and aggressive preachers

    ہر موسی  علیہ السلام کے پیروکار کو اپنے آپ کو کسی خضر علیہ السلام  کا محتاج سمجھنا چاہئے جس طرح حقیقی صوفیاء اپنے آپ کو علماء حق و اعتدال کا محتاج سمجھتے ہیں

    Ghumman and other tribes need Shariah abiding saints, of course. But we should understand that local tribes tend to resist aggressive preachers.

    I am not recommending antinomian Paul or Hallaj but wisdom of Khidr peace be upon him which Pharisees of Hijaz need, but they don’t think they do.

  • Neuroticism and Khidr

    جلالی تصوف عموما حقوق العباد میں رکاوٹ بنتا ہے

  • Addictive ultranomianist perfectionism

    Ultranomianism holds back orthodox families but they are addicted to commandments which normally make modernists claustrophobic.

  • Muslims like penguins

    Like penguins, Muslims are cultural extremophiles due to belief in post traumatic growth.

  • Spiritual cognitive therapy for trauma

    I read when you recall a past trauma you should recite complete Inna Lillah. This will same intense reward as if trauma happened in present. The complete prayer even asks God for a good substitute for the trauma like a new baby when your child dies or any good substitute. This is a form of cognitive therapy.

  • Self aware murjiah Muslims

    American Islam can only make modern Muslims intellectually self aware, but it will be the greatest obstacle to Prophetic orthopraxy.

  • Weaponized modern sufism

    As far as Salafi sola scriptura is concerned, I think weaponized modern sufism is making it more insulated by victim hood self righteousness. اشراف حجاز became very secular and over political which made Salafism popular. اشراف یمن are the best role models for both Salafis and Sufis.

  • Aryan Pharisaic mysticism

    The intersection of Pharisaic pilgrimage and mystic gentile poetry.
