Imam Ar-Rabi' said that Imam Ash-Shafi'ii, may Allah have mercy upon him, stated, “It reached us that it used to be said, ‘Du'a is sure to be answered on five nights: (1) the night of Jumu'ah, (2) the night of 'Eid ul-Adha, (3) the night of 'Eid ul-Fitr, (4) the first night of the month of Rajab and (5) the 15th night of Sha'ban’.”

Then the lone transmission was connected to the Imam, may Allah have mercy upon, to the statement that Imam Ash-Shaf'ii also said, ‘I consider it praiseworthy to make du'a on these nights based upon what was narrated regarding them although it is not compulsory’. Kitab ul-Umm, vol.1, pg.264

An Eid Mubarak message from the official Studio Ghibli account in Japan.
They’ve made many superb films such as “Grave of the Fireflies”, “Spirited Away”, “My Neighbor Totoro” (pictured above), “The Wind Rises”, “The Boy and The Heron” and others.

The name for Studio Ghibli actually comes from the word “Qibla”. It is an Italianization of the Libyan Arabic word for the hot desert wind.
Eid Mubarak to all. May Allāh accept our fasting and all our good deeds.
Enjoy Eid with your families and eat plenty of meat if you can. It’s very healthy for you. Don’t let any insect eater tell you otherwise.

Let us keep our brothers and sisters in Palestine and other parts of the Muslim world in our duas.

Eid Mubarak to all. May Allāh accept our fasting and all our good deeds. Enjoy Eid with your families and eat plenty of meat if you can. It’s very healthy for you. Don’t let any insect eater tell you otherwise. Let us keep our brothers and sisters in Palestine…
One benefit of seeing through all the propaganda the globalist mainstream media pushes at us, is that we can stop worrying about fake crises and live our lives fully. There is no climate change, no pandemic, eating meat isn’t destroying the planet, nor is having kids bad for our “carbon footprints”.

The world is a beautiful place. Enjoy it. Eat meat, have kids, drive cars, don’t feel guilty about any of it.
God created the world for us.
The shayateen will never succeed.

An excellent article by Mairav Zonszein on the deeply rooted problems within Israeli society.

🚀📢NEW HIKMA ACADEMY COURSE!! 📢🚀

After months of reflection and preparing I am tremendously excited to announce the newest offering of the FTH Hikma Academy:
‘The Key to Medicine & A Guide for Students’

Written by Hakim Abu Farah Ali ibn Al-Husayn ibn Hindu, a Persian physician in the 11th century, The Key is an illuminating text that offers a comprehensive framework for the medical craft; congruent with the Islamic intellectual paradigm whilst offering a metaphysical, clinical, and ethical guide for the practicing Muslim physician or health professional.

The course will be 8 weeks long.

My hope with the course is to introduce students to an indigenous Islamic medical and psychological tradition that is not only alive and well, but capable of addressing the most challenging health issues of our time & bridging the gap between the scientific and the spiritual.

The course will not merely be a rote reading of the text but God-willing a synthetic exploration of our deep healing tradition with insights from the sacred sciences (fiqh, kalam, tasawuf) as well as from homeopathy, traditional naturopathy, unani tibb, depth psychology, somatic trauma healing, relational work, and more.

As far as we know this is the first time this text is being taught in the English language!

Be the first to register for the course at the following link, also available through the links on our profile:
https://the-hikma-academy.teachable.com/p/the-keys-to-medicine

**As a humble Eid gift to you all and a token of gratitude for this opportunity we would like to extend an Early Bird Discount of $50 off the full-cost price, available for the next week until April 15th!

Please use code ‘EARLYBIRDKEY’ at checkout out of the 1-installment payment option to secure the discount.

We pray that God accepts our efforts and brings benefit to all the students as we strive to revive the wholistic vitalistic tradition of Hikma Medicine.

Mīr Zāhid al-Harawī's gloss on the Sharh Mawāqif of al-Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Jurjānī (d. 816/1413)

As a pupil of Mullā Muḥammad Yūsuf, who himself studied under Mirzā Jān al-Shīrāzī, al-Harawī's gloss on al-Sayyid al-Sharīf al-Jurjānī’s commentary on the Mawāqif profoundly influenced subsequent South Asian interest in the Mawāqif itself.

Subsequently, nearly every South Asian work on the Mawāqif became a supergloss on Mīr Zāhid al-Harawī's own work. Out of 29 South Asian engagements with the Mawāqif identified, 22 were superglosses on al-Harawī's work, demonstrating its pervasive impact on Mawāqif scholarship in the region.

Shaykh Fazl-i-Subhān al-Qādirī's distinctive Khairabādī teaching style showcases a masterclass on the Mīr Zāhid Umūr Āmah, which he has been teaching throughout his entire life as a distinguished inheritor of Imam 'Aḍud-Dīn Al-Ījī himself. Masha’Allah.

"Hope is defined as your heart attaching itself to a particular state of affairs, while you engage in acts that are necessary to bring about this particular state of affairs.

If hope is had while no action is undertaken, it is not really hope, but actually a delusion."

The Eminent Rank of Al-Quds https://amzn.eu/d/4dKRYKY

الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

BOOK RELEASE! The Eminent Rank of Al-Quds by Imam Wahbah az-Zuhayli رحمه الله تعالى is now available on Amazon.
Since today is his birthday, one of the best books to read on Hitler, is Guido Preparata’s “Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich.”
Building up on Dr Antony Sutton’s “Wall Street and Rise of Hitler”.
Most people today don’t know that Hitler’s earliest support came from Jewish banks and from factions of British aristocracy. The entire Nazi war machine got its oil from the Rockefellers and their Standard Oil company.
World War II was a dialectic, both sides were evil.

Before any moronic brainwashed neo-Nazis trot out the usual “But Hitler arrested the Rothschilds!” line…
Baron Louis de Rothschild wasn’t really “arrested”. He was kept in an extremely luxurious hotel. He was then ransomed off for $21 million.
Hitler had close dealings with several other Jewish banking houses.
Hitler had many Jewish officers close to him.
Hitler and his officers were involved in occult practices (look up the Thule Society) and this is why the swastika was chosen as the Nazi symbol. Many of Hitler’s officers were homosexuals as well.
The Nazi party was as degenerate as they come.

After World War II ended, over 1,000 top Nazi scientists were given American citizenship and they helped build up NASA, look up the declassified CIA papers pertaining to Operation Paperclip. Wernher von Braun is considered as the true founder of NASA as it exists today!

Many other Nazis actually helped set up Israel’s Mossad. The most famous example of this is the top Nazi general Reinhard Gehlen. Gehlen was awarded by the Pope and made a Knight of Malta. Gehlen would also found the German Federal Intelligence Service.

“Wild Bill” aka Bill Donovan, the head of the OSS which eventually became the CIA, was also awarded by the Pope and made a Knight of Malta. At one point there were so many papal knights in the CIA that it was jokingly called “Catholics In Action”.
(He was involved in helping out Chairman Mao as well, that’s another story.)

The Nazis, Fascists, Soviets, and the Allies were all evil. Don’t fall for any propaganda about them. As usual, we shouldn’t be taking either side.
The likes of Churchill, Hitler, and others all had a love/hate relationship with Jews. The Jews alone are not the main power in the world.

Pictured above are some houses of the “Black Nobility” elite families. These include the Aldobrandini, Medici, Colonna, Este, Orsini, Pallavicini, Borgia, and Farnese families among others. These families have been around since many centuries prior to the Rockefellers, Rothschilds, and other globalist scions of today.
The connections between Babylon, Rome, Venice, the Vatican, Templars, Jesuits, Masons, Zionism etc are all there.

The graphic is a bit simplistic but a good starting point and outline for those who want to research these topics.

All this information is on the public record. In order to connect the dots you must be able to
1. Think coherently and understand basic logic
2. Locate and critically examine primary sources
3. Collate and synthesize information from a myriad of different branches of knowledge

One of the pitfalls of public schooling is that you are taught that history is merely a series of unconnected random events. To analyze history (or any other branch of knowledge) correctly one has to have the right metaphysical/theological foundations and worldview. One must be able to unify the sciences. What public schooling does is that it randomizes the sciences so people cannot connect the dots regarding anything.

The satanic cabal has many factions. Once you understand these connections then history and the events going on today will make a lot more sense. We must go beyond the typical alt media “everything was good until 1776 and the Rothschilds took over the world” trope.

Read our earlier post on “Aristocrazia Nera” for more details. More specific examples and information regarding all the aforementioned groups and their influence on global affairs today will be posted in the future.
