Most men are not acting irresponsibly because they are immature or because they want to harm women; they are acting rationally in response to the lack of incentives today’s society offers them to be responsible fathers, husbands and providers.
In a time where many wouldn't cover, the Shaykhs Wife would buy loads of different hijaab/niqaab styles and leave the house for short journeys multiple times a day.
This gave the impression that more women observed niqaab/hijaab, in turn creating new social norms over time.
Shaykh Shukri al-Luhafi was a scholar, a jurist and a reciter who knew all of the recitations of the Qur'an and wrote a book on the them. He was authorized and authorized others. He was a man of Tariqah. He was of the school of Fudail b. Iyaad and Junaid al-Baghdadi in Tasawwuf

I was literally never sexualized before becoming muslim. The sexualization *I* experience almost exclusively comes from other muslims. So the thought is being “less sexualized” in hijab was nonexistent because I simply didn’t experience that- until I became muslim.
He knew that [most of ]His slaves are not self-motivated in seeking Him; so, He obligated for them obedience to Him. He pushed them towards Him with the chains of obligation. Your Lord is amused by a people who are pushed to Paradise in chains. - Ibn Ata Allah
‘Abdullah b. Masoud (May Allah be pleased with him) wore the most expensive clothing and perfume, out of veneration, when carrying the blessed sandals of the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi wa sallam).’ - Imam Sha’rani in ‘Al Tabaqat al Kubra’
‘An impudent man was seen in a dream after his passing. He was asked: “What did Allah do with you?” He replied: “He forgave me.” He was asked: “Why?” He replied: “I once went to hear the transmission of a Hadith from a particular scholar.

We have a term for this in arabic - Ghayra - it's tough to translate but it's like a benevolent protective jealously.
Unfortunately western society had pathologised this idea.
" islam over culture " for the folks in the comments really means the adoption of the dominant mono-culture of the West and the chucking in the bin of all Islamicate cultures.
If we're calling influencers out, we need to likewise call rubbish like this out.
The shaykha gang in the west has been allowed to get away with distorting hadith to push their agenda for way too long without anyone having the balls to correct them.
You know it's scary times when influencers are leading Umrah groups...
It's not as simple as it looks. You need to be well-versed in Fiqh, good at managing people, qualified to lead them on this spiritual journey + more. The agents/companies taking them should know better.

It will never cease to amaze me just how much this man has been able to get away with.
Travelling makes you realise most the Muslim ummah is ' barelwi ' or whatever people think that is.
It baffles me how people just attribute certain beliefs and practises to some pakistani cultural phenomena.
Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rajioon.
Another Sage departs from us.
At the end of 2020 we lost Sh Nur al-Din
At the beginning of 2021 we lost Sh Fatih

What ever aspect of maleness that serves the feminine purpose is a man’s masculine responsibility, yet any aspect that disagrees with feminine primacy is labeled Patriarchy and Misogyny.
The contemporary left we can never ally with due to their worldview fundamentally being satanic I.e. godless secular humanism which has now moved towards anti-humanism vis a vis gender ideology, abortion and transhumanism.
For the past 60 years feminization has built in the perfect Catch 22 social convention for anything masculine; The expectation to assume the responsibilities of being a man (Man Up) while at the same time denigrating asserting masculinity as a positive (Shut Up).
Tonight my friend and I prayed isha and 6 rakahs of taraweeh on the street because every part of the women’s section was brimming and the queue to get in was loooong. What was disappointing was that while so many women had made the trip to Allah’s house to seek the benefit of
A few people suggested men are immature by not getting into a situation that yields no happiness for them, that we should just be martys to the altar of the female imperative.
It's only us diaspotards, modernists, and others of similar stripes that objected to 'clash of civilisations'
Sayyid Naquib definitely understood that the clash is inevitable and is baked in at the inception point
Erudition in women has never been the priority of most men, dont confuse this with wanting a 'dumb' woman.
Intelligence shouldn't be conflated with intellectualism. Women's intelligence is different to a man's. Women in their own way can be acute/smart in ways men can never be
This is where tankies show their true colours, ask them about the Balkans.
They operate in this binary in which anyone who opposes the ' West' is perceived to be the good guy.
We will never forget the centuries of Russian/Serb aggression in Muslim lands.
In 1999 the CIA manufactured a claim that Serbia was engaged in genocide against 1.6 million Albanians in Kosovo.
The U.S. and NATO went to war to stop this.
In 2024 Israel announces that it will begin a genocidal campaign targeting 1.6 million Palestinians in Rafah.

Our society tells men they are worthless perverts who reek of male privilege while simultaneously castrating them should they act in a manly manner, and now women are upset because men are becoming more feminised? You reap what you sow.
A passage from her book below.
For Muslims in the West, it's not uncommon for Women to want Male Provisioning without Headship. I.e. 50/50 domestics, she still works whilst you're provisioning.
Butchered Fiqh takes such as 'your money is my money, and my money is my money'
My friend used to grapple with the idea of eternal punishment for ' finite sins ' until he witnessed the grave injustices inflicted upon the Palestinians.
Eternal damnation is no longer as perplexing.
Nur al-Din al-Sabuni on why Allah called the blessed wives "the Mothers of the Believers" and didnt call the Prophet (salla Allah alayhi wa sallam) the father of the believers. He says it is because motherhood is pinnacle of praise for a woman.
Muslim bitcoin maximalists may strike me as cringeworthy, but with time, I've come to understand & appreciate their sentiments. Usury is unequivocally evil, and the concept of 'Islamic Economics' falters in an environment where we tolerate usury under the guise of 'dar-ul harb.'
Islam is much more than a rebellion against degeneracy.
Unfortunately, the current discourse has solely framed Islam as a weapon against the current social order in a way that's removed from our ultimate end goal.
That end goal is an utter recognition of our slavehood to God.
I welcome any former far-right figure into our community.
I will say that we must make very clear to them our theology, as their conversion shouldn't solely be rooted in a pushback against degeneracy/wokeism. It should be an understanding of tawheed and uboodiyah.
Syed Naquib al-Attas consistently articulated his opposition to perennialism from the outset, yet it's regrettable that some of his admirers remained unclear on this matter. In his ultimate work, Syed Naquib directly addresses these individuals.
The 'manosphere', with its obsession with money and women, misses the true spirit of great men. Great men, as described in the passage, valued strength, courage, and dedication to greater causes over personal gain or superficial desires.
1. The Abraham Accords is just a fad of a project spearheaded by elites that want to bring about a kumbaya.
These same elites speak at both ends of their mouths, peace on one side and engaging in political suppression and warfare on the other.
Most people I've talked to seem to have been blackpilled
Ordinary Sunnis are starting to examine concepts like 'obeying the laws of the land' and related ideas.
Why should we be beholden to a rules based order that disadvantages us, and isn't upheld by its architects.
"how many nights have we spent poring over books, searching for proofs – without feeling tired – when we argue and we try to refute? and we feel put-off when reading books that reprimand us, that seek to discipline our nafs!
This dude doesn't let up, does he?
Makes a ridiculous tweet, proceeds to delete as he gets heat, and then proceeds to post hadith following this fully knowing the context he's posted them in / what notions he is seeking to defend.
Put this man in front of qadi iyad please.
When Muadh رض came from Syria, he prostrated to the Prophet ﷺ who said,
❝What is this, O Muadh?
He said I went to Syria and saw them prostrating to their archbishops & patriarchs, & I wanted to do that for you. The Prophet ﷺ said, Do not do that...❞
(Ibn Majah - Sahih)
This is what they call a ' redpill moment '
Many islamoleftists and feminazis for the last few months have been lamenting that their favourite imams have ' switched '.
I for one concluded that this was in response to Haqiqatjou shifting the overton window.
Habib Abu Bakr al-'Adni refused to engage in debates with women who essentially branded him a misogynist for upholding the sharia. Likewise, it's beneath us to engage with women who object to known matters of sacred law be they Muslim women or otherwise.
Seethe.
During the gathering, he sent Salawat upon the Messenger of Allah (SallAllahu Alaihi wa sallam). The people in the gathering heard him and did the same. We were all forgiven on that day.” [Hafiz Ibn Hajr al-Haytami in ‘Al-Dur al-Mandud’]
Preliminary thoughts - on Peterson/Hijab discussion.
This discussion should have no way happened publicly - red lines 1. Quds 2. being an acolyte of shapiro ( the whole discussion was platformed by daily wire )
Folk would be in for the shock of their lives if they read how Muslim jurists spoke about marriage.
The way the relationships are talked about between husband and wife is radically different from anything that you see by claimants to tradition / neo- traditionalists of today.
In Islam a marriage contract is NOT literally the sale of a daughter.
A father ENTRUSTS his responsibility to the husband- not SELL.
This tweet is very misleading & confusing people about the religion.
Terms like 'property' & 'sale' was common IGNORANCE.
Note: PRE-ISLAM.

"The best among you in the days of ignorance are the best in the days after accepting Islam, if they acquire true knowledge and understanding of Islam"
Sh Sa'id Foudah:
some people say in our times that: a man doesn't become kafir until he knows that islam is truth and right; yet, he refuses to accept islam. that is a man internally KNOWS that islam is truth, yet refuses to accept and conceals what is in his inside.
[
Kufr means "to cover"
Not everyone who is a non-muslim is a Kāfir. A Kafir is the one who knows the Truth and it has become manifest to them, yet they deny it. That's not the case with any non-muslim today. Kufr is a psychological and spiritual state. It's not...
After centuries of brutality and continued interference in Muslim affairs we are being told to make peace.
Peterson needs to hold a mirror / point the finger at western civilisation and the crimes it has committed/continues to commit.
'Many people have witnessed the blessings of the Shifa. Such blessings that no harm descends upon a home that has the Shifa; no ship sinks that has the Shifa; and when a sick person reads it, or it is read over him, Allah cures him.'

Blackmailer has hacked my Instagram account. Claims he is 'not a bad person' lol. I have changed all the passwords on my platforms (the new ones are super random). I will not be paying him of course and will create a new Instagram account, inshaAllah.

2. The normal Muslim, Christian or Jew doesn't give a damn about the Abraham accords nor does it impact them.
Infact any person committed to orthodoxies of their religion will be against the 'soft-perennialism' that it promotes.
We don't want ecumenism/perennialism.
The Qutb, Sayyidi Abu al-Fayd al-Kattani al-Shaheed. In these testing times, you must know who this man was and of his struggle against the French and post colonial stresses on the Moroccan people.
@DrShadeeElmasry
real malikiyya
As I echoed a few weeks back, this idea of evangelical infiltration into Muslim Communities is just imagined.
I would ago as far to say its just an attempt to hate on anything that's normative.
Libs in muslim countries want to make elective abortion legal in light of the overturning of Roe even though the law already legalize it for shar'i exceptional reasons
Throw this "muslims in the US are brainwashed by Christian evangelical/Catholic ethics" narrative in the trash
Hallaq in the Islamic studies field has been saying this for a while when talking about 'Technologies of the Self'
Philip Reiff in 60s talked extensively about the psychologisation of the self / theraputic society.
See Carl Truemans latest work for a summary.
Recognize this rapidly expanding grift:
Many trying to present Islamic Psychology (and attendant discourses on 'holistic living' etc.) as the new science of ihsan & psychologists/life-coaches/counsellors as the new guides.
It isn't and they aren't.
I was in Istanbul 3 years ago and intended to meet Hüsnü Bayramoğlu, but unfortunately unable to.
Said Nursi foretold 60 years ago that he would be his last student to die and will live to see the Aya Sofia reopened as a masjid.
He passed away days after it reopened.
Plato argued that It takes two sides to make a tyranny: tyrant and the tyrannised. He maintained that slaves deserved their condition, in that those who were not of servile nature would prefer death to enslavement.
The Palestinians are free people's.
Contrary to popular belief, Sayyiduna Umar didn't order the burning of the library of Alexandria. However, history reveals that it was the Crusaders who, upon seizing Tripoli, pillaged and burned thousands of volumes of the Dar-al-ilm
5. There's this depiction that the Muslim world is the instigator of violence, the originator of violence and that's how we are defined.
Why is there this tone that Muslims need to reach out and make peace ?
We didn't ' break ' the so called peace.
The Muslim world isn't defined by sunni shia conflict - its not even reflective of huge swathes of the Muslims world I.e. the archipelago.
In summary any communal violence that does exist isn't solely attributable to theology.
One reason I recommend Alija's 'Islam Between East and West' is because he confronted the multifaceted nature of 'modernity,' often likened to a hydra encompassing socialism, communism, fascism, democracy, and more.
This was influenced by the Balkans' unique positioning.
The best advice I ever heard on critiquing Western systems of thought was from Shaykh Abdal Hakim Murad. He said to find their critiques of each other and use them, whilst situating Islam in the middle.
Every critique has a semblance of truth, whilst Islam has the full Truth.
Is this all surprising when egalitarian ideas around marriage permeates the culture.
The sharia is holistic in nature and without having a supporting social structure to actualise shari imperatives it makes good outcomes tougher.
Helen Smith does a remarkable job on her book at demonstrating some of the reasons why men are checking out of marriage.
See the interview below for a glimpse
It's funny how Tucker expects Men to take up responsibility/provisioning without headship.
4. Peterson reduces the Muslim world to some Sunni & Shia conflict.
Yes there's been conflict but his assumptions of why that's the case and how to remedy it is way off.
Closer examination will demonstrate that recent geopolitical meddling stokes these tensions.
3. The Abraham Accords and others like it are part of a wider project to normalise ties with Israel.
Muslims will never give up on the issues of Quds Sharif.
By the sage of Bosnia, a very erudite man that knew deeply about the array of civilisations to have existed.
I'm sure Peterson and Westerners in general will greatly appreciate this work.

"The men who brought coeducation to previously all-male institutions were acting not on any moral imperative, but were acting in their own institutional self-interest"
Same ish
Women-folk lift weights and workout to your hearts content because as a natty it's virtually impossible to look ' masculine' / get jacked.
Looking ' masculine ' should be the least of your worries, because it just won't happen.
The language used to make the point is deeply concerning. It would be advisable for the brother to offer an apology, and Dilly could consider leaving a note to express that the speaker strongly disagrees with the language employed.
Adab to the Prophet ﷺ is our top priority.
One of the major psychological operations after the post-war period was to make studying right-wing, fascist, and anti-liberal thinkers taboo, despite the valuable insights they offer.
It is mentioned in the _Shifa_ that a universal truth is that whoever loves someone also loves whatever the beloved loves. This was the way of the _Salaf_ with respects to actions for which neither reward nor punishment is to be expected, but which were permissible.
