All Flawed Isms Evaporate through Sincerity [Ikhlaas] & Devotion to Allah

 


Acting upon one's views without any need or necessity is nothing but self-infatuation. 

It is the Sunnah of Allah Ta'ala that sincerity, integrity, and devotion to Allah Ta'ala is permanent. In the court of Allah Ta'ala, it is only the currency of sincerity that operates.  Sincerity is conditional to acquire the help and support of Allah Ta'ala. When views and opinions that contradicted the consensus of the pious predecessors were adopted, then it has been witnessed, and the future also established that it was nothing but selfishness, egotistical, and self-infatuation. 

When there is consensus of the pious predecessors on an issue, and consensus is established as a proof, then what need is there to use one's own opinion and view? The rare and isolated view and opinion that is based on desires and ego will gain traction and acceptance for a short while, but in the end, it will become part of the junkyard of history. 

These isolated views and opinions are mostly chosen without reason, and they are adopted simply for identification. Alternatively, they are based on self-infatuation, selfishness, and self-obsession. These rare views and opinions have nothing to do with the sincerity, veracity, and devotion to Allah Ta'ala found in the pious predecessors. For this reason, these rare views and opinions do not get the help and assistance of Allah Ta'ala. The rare views and opinions adopted by some people get rejected in the end and they are flung aside with disgrace, disdain, and infamy. Stability and permanence lies with sincerity, i.e., Ikhlaas.

The history of the Ummah bears testimony to the fact that each and every thought pattern, ism, and philosophy that arose over the centuries came in countless forms and shapes. They were promoted with a big hue and fuss. It seemed as though the truth that was passed down generation by generation will lose the battle for its survival, but it happens that after a short while, that ism, thought pattern, and philosophy breathes its last, and falsehood departs. The fog begins to lift. The bright, shining sun of the truth appears, and in its light, the fragrance and aroma of the immense sincerity of the pious predecessors spreads, radiates, and diffuses.

Is MTJ a GIGOLO?

  Is MTJ a GIGOLO?  What is a gigolo? Let us study the definition properly first,    In simple terms, a gigolo is a man who lives off the earnings or gifts of a woman. Now, is MTJ a gigolo or not? That's the question. Let us analyze the following program of MTJ in UK in January 2024, The 'spiritual evening' with MTJ was held in a concert arena. What kind of spirituality was being imparted there?  That's problematic enough. What is worse is what follows, Prior to the 'spiritual evening', there was a FEMALE ONLY meet and greet. Astaghfirullah. Then, a VIP meet and greet for 99 pounds! What were the women doing spending 99 pounds to meet a strange bearded man, who poses with his kurta and turban on? This is nothing but prostitution and reverse prostitution.  This evidence is enough to denounce MTJ and his filthy antics.  Once again, the hosts of MTJ in South Africa are called upon in advance to cancel the events of this filthy vile Shia loving gigolo.

Iran & Israel: Friends in War

Image
  As we edge closer to Qiyamah, deciphering the events that lead up to it becomes increasingly difficult. The air becomes foggier and the ground becomes more slippery with each step. Understanding the signs of Qiyamah is like Qiyamah itself.   Iran Iran has raised many eyebrows in the recent days. In order to understand the matter, it is essential to look into the history and significance of this place.  Iran has a rich and mixed history. It was conquered in the time of Sayyiduna 'Umar radiyallahu 'anhu and gave birth to some of the most magnificent scholars in the history of Islam.  The hadith of Sayyiduna Muhammad Rasulullah sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam had emphatically declared a short while before this conquest, that there will be no Kisra again after he disrespected the blessed letter of the Rasul of Allah and tore it up. The Kisra was soon killed, then his son consumed poison that his father left for him, and that led to the collapse of the Persian Empire....

I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM...

Image
  I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 1. For this reason, I see, understand and realize that Islam is under attack. I have closely followed societal trends in the past, but now I feel empty of what I would previously experience from my practices as a Muslim, without the frills and fusses of modernism. I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 2. I understand that what my parents, grandparents, and family did before - also as concerned Muslims - is very different from what the modern Muslim community is doing.   I AM A VERY CONCERNED MUSLIM... 3. I know that Islam teaches modesty and shame, so I shall not engage in free mixing at family functions, nor shall I attend lecture events with mixed audiences, even if the speaker seems very famous. As a concerned man, I shall not attend programs of a woman, and as a woman, I shall not attend the lectures of strange men, except if it is fully in-line with Hijab, with a solid barrier, where I cannot see the speaker, and he cannot see me. I AM A VERY C...
