the people who do dawah for the sake of popularity and views need to check themselves. so many scholars spoke about being unknown and hating fame.
my goal is to live in a secretive area in Australia with my own community. where we have our own schools, medical facilities, tutoring, horse riding, swimming, MMA programs.
any immigrant that justifies the protest of France and burning the streets needs their head checked. you already have a target on your back, what’s the point of exacerbating it?
the only problem Sheikh Al Islam ibn Taymiyyah (r) had was the amount of snitches that couldn’t handle him.
Call the cops when you see Ibn Taymiyyah, literally.
Sneako, comparing Rumi to Ibn Taymiyyah is comedy.
Ibn Taymiyyah spent a good chunk of his life locked up by the Mamluks for his views. He died in their prison. That’s the historical record. Rumi was a major figure in his own time, respected, with a following that turned into one of the great Sufi orders of the Ummah. There’s no Wahhabi or modern Salafi polemicist on Rumi’s level. Not in spiritual rank, not in influence on the traditional Sunni world, not in the hearts of Ahlus Sunnah. The language in Rumi’s poetry about love is the standard Sufi idiom for the soul’s longing for Allah. Reducing it to “homosexual poems” and “fantasizing about dudes” is a surface reading that people who actually studied the tradition don’t make. You’re siding with the wahabi people who want to shrink the Ummah down to their narrow box, and then acting surprised when traditional Sunnis push back.
when Allah says “we created you in pairs,” everything is in pairs. we weren’t even able to choose our own gender.
everything is in pairs. sun, moon, day, night, sky, earth, (life, afterlife).

THE MARTYRDOM OF
ḤUSSAYN رضي الله عنه
Shaykh ul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said:
The killing of al-Ḥusayn was among the greatest calamities. Whoever klled al-Ḥusayn, or assisted in it, or was pleased with it, upon him is the curse of Allah, His angels, and all of mankind together.
