Problems with current thinking of many muslim political parties today like Brotherhood and hizb-ut-tahrir and others: They think that our duty as muslims in our societies is to implement islam politically and ensure Allah swt’s laws are implemented at a state level. My view is that our duty is to implement Islam on ourselves first. This will then lead to the correct communal response I believe. Here is how : As civilians in a state or country we will want to live such that we are not humiliated but respected and valued in our countries. Not threatened by the regime etc. But the reality is that we have despots ruling in our regions so we need to think about what to do to improve things. Firstly threatening the despots isn’t going to help things. They will just learn to work harder to oppress us. Especially if they know we want to put someone else in power other than them. So instead we need to see if we can go to a middle ground where we can make improvements to our condition. Witho...

Very useful hadith reported by imam ali when he asked the prophet (pbuh) what are your main character traits. Knowledge (of God) is my Capital; Reason is the Root of my Faith; Love is my Foundation; Enthusiasm is my Horse; Remembrance (of God) is my Friend; Firmness is my Treasure; Sorrow is my Companion; Science is my weapon; Patience is my mantle; Contentment is my reward; Poverty is my pride; Devotion is my art; Conviction is my power; Truth is my redeemer; Obedience is my sufficiency; Struggle is my manner and my pleasure is in my prayer. In Arabic: حديث مفيد جدا عن الرسول الطيب محمد نقله الامام علي حين سأله عن اهم أوصاف  شخصيته، فقال صلى الله عليه و سلم : المعرفة رأسمالي ، والعقل أصل ديني ، والحب أساسي ، والشوق مركبي ، وذِكْر الله أنيسي ، والثقة كَنْزي ، والحزن رفيقي ، والعلم سلاحي ، والصبر ردائي ، والرضا غنيمتي ، والزُهد حرفتي ، واليقين قوَّتي ، والصدق شفيعي ، والطاعة حَسْبي ، والجهاد خلقي، وجعلت قرة عيني في الصلاة )) [من تخريج أحاديث الإحياء عن علي بن...

I have found many Sunni Muslims very sincere. But what they don’t realize is they are following a poisoned understanding of Islam. One that focusses on outside appearances and places less emphasis on issues of the heart and mercy. It’s mostly about fighting and Jihad in the external sense. Whereas inner jihad on the self is not emphasised as much. This creates people more like robots (easier to control) and less like humans who have a heart that they can access and gain guidance from. So this emphasis on externalisation brings rise to a disconnect with one’s heart.  Making cruel action easier to do. And this is where the poison becomes visible. ie in cruelty and harsh cold behaviour that tends to ensue. And they continue in this path thinking this is truth and genuine Islam. Where as all along they have been poisoned and taken for a ride by poisonous and ignorant clergy, who mainly work for corrupt Muslim governments. With Shia muslims there is a similar type of deliberate mi...

Life Tip: When it comes to religions and ways of life, learn to cherry pick the best things in each rather than confine yourself to one. Why?  1. Because the concepts currently existing in each may not actually be the original concepts (they may have distorted).  2. Confining yourself to only one makes it easy for the priesthood or clergy hierarchy to have good control of you. The game in many has become about control rather than teaching truth.  3. By cherry picking according to your best thinking you are acting as an independent person, and this is a mark of a mature and wise human.  4. As for those who say that only this way is right , those people may have become brainwashed by the controllers but not realize it.  5. And it may well be that one path is right , but it doesn’t mean that those claiming to follow it have the right understanding of it. But by using your mind and cherry picking based on your own search you may have come closer to it than t...

Why those who call for khilafah carry misguidance. Bismillah Arahman ArRaheem Firstly this article is not an attack on the concept of khilafah. Infact the core of the problem is to do with the idea of this concept. Current idea that is peddled: Khilafah means Muslim unity in a giant state that will protect muslims how they used to be. And to expand islam through jihad to the non muslims. And it would be offensive jihad. By force we will invade other countries whether they like it or not. You can see why this understanding of khilafah is wrong can't you. It isn't very hard. Yet it is the one that is peddled mostly I believe. Eg by hizb ut tahrir ( party of liberation, HT). So they want to liberate muslims from invasion by non muslims so that they can then go and invade the non muslims. And they believe the non muslims will,at a later day, thank them for being invaded by their khilafah state to bring them the justice and mercy of Islam; which the callers believe they wi...

My understanding of Allah/God being everywhere: I believe Allah does not have a body. Thus place is not relevant to him. He is everywhere without being everywhere. ie He has awareness of everywhere without needing to be there. Agree/ Disagree ?

People in general do not like new knowledge that requires them to look at reality in a completely different way. Because they have come to like the way they have become used to. Hence they will protect their current view by accusing those with new insight with false accusations eg you are stupid , you are arrogant and think you know everything etc.  But don't worry. This is the normal procedure. With time they may  realise they were wrong and slowly change.  Change is difficult for humans.
