“Mudslinging in the Malhama; Dajjalic Fitna in Fool Effect”
All these so-called pious Muslims warring online and in person over aqeedah? They are so lost and mislead masses, these mudslinging mockers. No one even mentions the ongoing culminatory kill off, “the Great Cull” of al-Malhama al-Kubra. Cowards. Villains. Criminals. Brainwashed fools. But you trust the same religious leaders who pushed the serpent’s bitter brew…

Sometimes Brothers
Sometimes brothers are estranged for the strangest of things, unnoted or unspoken stings, unopened strings, uncertainties, emergencies, slow spoken urgencies, or cuts unsutured from unseen surgeries. Cut off, pushed out to seas where storms rage for years of daze, the winds hit the embers and extend the blaze, not learning until after the fact of…

Contemplating Inner Signs in Silence
Silently sitting, contemplating the inner signs, changed my life. Many people say “subhanallah” but keep missing the moment. Presence with appreciation is a gift that opens the heart, helping us to arrive, once again, on time. Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Simplify Practice to Dive Deeper
Simplify practice to dive deeper. Imagine the prayer carpet as a portal or diving board into deep waters. Rather than take on more memorization or recitations, perhaps it is best to focus on a handful of surahs or less, tighten up technique and accuracy, and revisit all positionings to practice deep presence and concentration on…

Arriving at the Indus from Istanbul
Walking through Istanbul as the moon waxes into the white nights, longing to see the Indus further downstream than I saw it last, to meander Multan, touch Taxila, lounge in Lahore, hunker in Hunza, and gaze at the Karakoram and Kush while sipping some spiced chai and after a long journey, arrive.

Quranic Contemplations
I appreciate the way Quran is self-referencing, ayat mutually reinforcing as they encourage and warn, spiraling through layers of fertile soils to feed our souls, precious gems to light our path back to the Garden, and waters to slake our spiritual thirsts and renew our walk.

Sinkhole Hadith
A while back I was listening to a Mahdi lecture video and in the part discussing the sinkhole army, he mentions how some would purposely go to fight the Imam (as) and would be people of the hellfire, some were unsure, but just followed, while others were forced, and their hereafter will depend on intention.…

Khorasani Connections
Khorasan has an ancient and profoundly powerful spiritual resonance radiating from its early shamanistic roots, to Buddha Dhamma, to falsafa and tasawuff. Islamically, many of the most important walis, poets and practices have Khoresani connections, including Rumi, his father, and subsequent family lines. If you include Greater Khoresan, as I do, the list is quite…

No Options Remain, But This…
We must share truth honestly and openly while we can, calling people to turn from falsity to Truth, to purify and be made whole, and to dream aloud the most beautiful caliphate possible, in order to be of benefit to as many as are “ready to be ready”, and to counter any attempt for a…

A Vision Rectification and Revival for Afghanistan and the Ummah
Consider: Khorasan in general, but Afghanistan in particular, should be an epicenter of plant medicines, holistic healing modalities, comparative contemplative study and retreat, Eastern Persian language, culture and historical studies as it relates to the spread of Silk Road Buddhism and Sufism. Study of comparative shamanism and trans-Himalayan horticulture, medicines, architecture, etcetera, should also be…
