Deep Dawa; Healing the Ummah as a Whole
The Ummah has been massively traumatized, by design, in a thoroughgoing and systematic manner, for more than forty years, at least. To begin healing as a whole, we must collaborate to be of benefit, in each locality and each region. In this brief brainstorm, I begin with Afghanistan, and expand to other lands. Walk with…

Mushroom Cloud Malhama; the Ongoing “Great Slaughter”
If nukes aren’t real, most of the current Muslim Malhama narratives fall flat. How are Hiroshima and Nagasaki liveable? And why is the Pacific still doing so well after Fukushima? And Chernoble is a tourist destination? You distrust the 9/11 narrative, and moon landings, but still need to believe in mushroom clouds? If fake, or…

The Shape of Suffering, Sorrow, and Silence
Sometimes I read our verses and think that we are picking up where Rumi left off. We sing the shape of suffering, sorrow, and silence, and a longing for a spring that always seems several snows away, until that blue sky backdrop sun kissed skin early afternoon, when the flowers remind us that the wait…

Tool Removal
Satans, of the jinns and men, always attempt to dumb us down and remove our tools so we cannot read, think, intuit, and interpret properly. Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Fireflies in the Forest
Sacred knowledge is the stream to the Sea. Say “subhanallah” and dive to into the carpet face first. One of these nights, the portal will open up and you’ll find yourself floating beneath a sky of stars that set your heart aglow like a firefly in the forest. Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Islamic Life Scientists, Arise
Ours is a reading tradition. We have not nearly lived accordingly yet as an Ummah, with most Muslims being “subliterate” when it comes to reading people, places, things, and ideas correctly. This has made us overly dependent on religious and secular scholars and has led most Muslims into genetic death and enslavement (not yet fully…

Islamic Visionaries; Healers, Harmonizers, and Wholemakers
We need visionaries from the Ummah now. Practical collaborative problem solving in harmony with natural law through a prophetic lense or framework. Peacemaker mode, harmonizers of conflicts, reconcilers. Healers. Wholemakers. Copyright © All Rights Reserved

An Upright Ummah and “Deep Dawa” (a stream of consciousness draft)
The Ummah is presently in a low and degraded state, but Allah changes the status of those who first seek to transform their hearts. Let us consider what this might entail. Who do non-muslims and critically thinking, deep-hearted Muslims worldwide look at as recent examples of excellence within the Ummah, nowadays? No one of worldwide…

Matches
So difficult to know what to do or where to go nowadays. Every day new changes, new paces to pick up and what we leave behind piles up on the sides of roads we never imagined we’d really have to walk one day. And the road’s one way. No two ways about it. Pillars of…

The Mahdi as Comic Book Hero
Who’s a better alternative to the daily shredded shaykh on any given Muslim platform? Someone might say, “Hadith and Quran”, but then say, “No, brother. That’s the wrong reading”, or “who did you study with?” “Him?, he’s a kafir!”, “Him, a murtad!”, “That group? Devils!”, or “Secret Jews”. “Them? Munafiquun!” “Do you even know…
