“Presence emanates from the soul and radiates through the heart.
These women attained sainthood because God was in their soul and Rasūlullāh ﷺ was in their heart.”

“What makes one a saint is sustained presence with God regardless of the circumstance.

Every ritual worship — the prayer, the fast, the zakāh, the Ḥajj — all of them were legislated to cultivate divine presence. Every dhikr, every pursuit of knowledge, even every interaction is for the purpose of cultivating divine presence.

And the key to the door of presence is ḥayāʾ.”


— Lesson 5. The Women of Milk,
The “New” Hikam

Fitra Foundation's Statement Concerning a Disturbing Women's Religious Lesson at Masjid al-Husayn

In the course of her remarks, she asserted-using language that appeared both dismissive and pejorative-that if a woman fails to fulfill her husband's rights or treats him poorly, he is religiously justified in physically striking her or even "murdering her".

The Saints in the Sunnah

Bayhaqī relates from Thawbān from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ,
"Gladtidings to the sincere ones, they are the lamps of guidance."


Ibn Majah relate it with a weak chain and variant wording,
"God loves the righteous, pious, concealed ones. When traveling, none seek after them. When resident, they're not invited nor recognized. Their hearts are lamps of guidance. From every dark trial they emerge (unharmed and steadfast)."


al-Hākim relates this report with a variant sound chain from Mu'ādh b. Jabal
"Even a small bit of ostentation is an association of partners with God (shirk), and whoever shows enmity to the saints has challenged God to a duel."

15 Ramadan 1447



Today was a special day and a special night.

Once again, I did not need to inquire about the name of the woman next to me, to my left. Strangely, however, it was a male name — Yahyā.

The first wārid that came to my heart was that this was an encoded message, referring to:
المرأة إن تعلّق همّتها بالله فهي رجل
A woman whose her aspiration is attached to God, is a sufi master (lit. man).

About Sayyiduna Yahyā عليه السلام God says:

يَا يَحْيَىٰ خُذِ الْكِتَابَ بِقُوَّةٍ ۖ وَآتَيْنَاهُ الْحُكْمَ صَبِيًّا
“O John, take the Scripture with strength.” And We gave him wisdom while just a boy.
Maryam (Q 19:12)

“Taking the book in strength” is a reference to himma and ‘azīma.

Yahyā is a highly positive name and carries the meanings of life, continuity (baqā’), and optimism.

Still, I was not certain of this wārid, and feared I might be projecting. I recalled God’s words :

هُوَ الَّذِي أَنزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُّحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ ۖ فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ زَيْغٌ فَيَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ ابْتِغَاءَ الْفِتْنَةِ وَابْتِغَاءَ تَأْوِيلِهِ ۗ وَمَا يَعْلَمُ تَأْوِيلَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ۗ وَالرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِّنْ عِندِ رَبِّنَا ۗ وَمَا يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ

It is He who has sent down to you the Book. In it are verses that are precise—they are the foundation of the Book—and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation, they follow what is unspecific thereof, seeking discord and seeking its interpretation. And none knows its interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, “We believe in it. All of it is from our Lord.” And none will be reminded except those of understanding.
Āl ʿImrān (Q 3:7)

Thus, I consigned the matter to God. This is what the Sufi masters have taught us in moments of uncertainty — tafwīḍ. And every time I have applied this rule, the meaning has come to me effortlessly. By God’s Grace, that is exactly what happened this time — and swiftly.

Upon completing the prayer, I greeted the lady on my right. She is a Malaysian woman, a master’s candidate at Al-Azhar University in uṣūl al-fiqh. She has spent the past nine years in Cairo.

Internally, I was beaming. I realized that the wārid was correct. It was about himma.

Her beautiful name was Nūr ʿAzīma.

It means: The Light of Determination.

Of course, I took her contact and we because friends immediately.

الحمد لله ربّ العالمين

16 Ramadan 1447

Tonight, the Imām recited the following verse twice.

يَا زَكَرِيَّا إِنَّا نُبَشِّرُكَ بِغُلَامٍ اسْمُهُ يَحْيَىٰ لَمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ سَمِيًّا

“O Zecharia, We give you good tidings of a boy whose name will be Yaḥyā. We have not assigned to any before him this name.”
Maryam (Q 19:7)

A great man seeks your hand in marriage. He offers you a mahr that has never been given to any woman before you.

Clear now? The connection between the response to the Hamlet Verdict and the consequences that ensued just weeks after?

God does not side with men or women.

God is always with the truth.

That is why God says :

يا ايها الذين امنوا اتقوا الله وكونوا مع الصادقين


The sharia is neither patriarchal nor feminist
The sharia is divine truth and beauty...

It was his book that led me to the quote I heard in my dream

Battle of Badr was a sign of “ahadiyya”, the sahaba’s unwavering commitment to

لا إله إلا الله

Battle of Uhud was a sign of “badriyya”, the full moon of prophetic guidance

محمد رسول الله

and a lesson of the ummatic harm inflicted due to those who deviate from him. ﷺ
