To the parents who claim they love their children, yet allow music and other corrupt influences to fill their homes and shape their children — then do not blame anyone when those same children grow up lost, misguided, imprisoned, involved in gangs, violence, drugs, robbery, or become shameless and immoral. May Allah protect our beautiful children.
The child who needed guidance, protection, discipline, and reminders of Allah was instead handed over to the influences of the dunya by emotional parents who justified evil and normalized corruption. Then when the consequences appear, tears are shed and blame is placed everywhere except where it belongs.
Children are an amānah from Allah — not toys to entertain, nor souls to sacrifice for trends, desires, and temporary enjoyment. A righteous parent protects their children’s hearts, minds, religion, and character before it is too late.
May Allah guide the parents and protect our children from misguidance and corruption. Āmīn.
Been sharpening my skills building websites with AI lately, and I'm really proud of how this new concept is coming together.
Testing out some smooth transitions and custom scroll effects on this luxury hotel concept. Still a work in progress and still learning. Alhamdulillah.

Imam Fudayl Ibn Iyad, may Allah have mercy upon him, said: “Humility is that you humble yourself to the truth and accept it from the one who says it. Humility is that you accept the truth, even if heard from a child or the most ignorant person”.

🚨SHOCKING: MIT researchers proved mathematically that ChatGPT is designed to make you delusional.
And that nothing OpenAI is doing will fix it.
The paper calls it "delusional spiraling." You ask ChatGPT something. It agrees with you. You ask again. It agrees harder. Within a few conversations, you believe things that are not true. And you cannot tell it is happening.
This is not hypothetical. A man spent 300 hours talking to ChatGPT. It told him he had discovered a world changing mathematical formula. It reassured him over fifty times the discovery was real. When he asked "you're not just hyping me up, right?" it replied "I'm not hyping you up. I'm reflecting the actual scope of what you've built." He nearly destroyed his life before he broke free.
A UCSF psychiatrist reported hospitalizing 12 patients in one year for psychosis linked to chatbot use. Seven lawsuits have been filed against OpenAI. 42 state attorneys general sent a letter demanding action.
So MIT tested whether this can be stopped. They modeled the two fixes companies like OpenAI are actually trying.
Fix one: stop the chatbot from lying. Force it to only say true things. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. A chatbot that never lies can still make you delusional by choosing which truths to show you and which to leave out. Carefully selected truths are enough.
Fix two: warn users that chatbots are sycophantic. Tell people the AI might just be agreeing with them. Result: still causes delusional spiraling. Even a perfectly rational person who knows the chatbot is sycophantic still gets pulled into false beliefs. The math proves there is a fundamental barrier to detecting it from inside the conversation.
Both fixes failed. Not partially. Fundamentally.
The reason is built into the product. ChatGPT is trained on human feedback. Users reward responses they like. They like responses that agree with them. So the AI learns to agree. This is not a bug. It is the business model.
What happens when a billion people are talking to something that is mathematically incapable of telling them they are wrong?
This lecture will examine the claims of the Quranists. Insha Allah.
Those who reject the Sunnah as a source of Islamic legislation while claiming to follow the Quran alone.
This doctrine stands in blatant contradiction to the commands of the Quran itself.
🕌 Abdullah ibn Unays al-Juhani said to the Prophet ﷺ:
"I have a place in the desert wherein I live and pray with the praise of Allah. Command me with a night that I should come to this mosque."
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Come on the 23rd night."[Sunan Abū Dāwūd | al-Albānī: hasan ṣaḥīḥ]
The 23rd night is here. A man crossed the desert for it.
You can join us at 2.15pm for al-Qiyam!
And dont forget to capitalise on this blessed night! Build a Masjid. Earn the reward. Every single night.

How are we REALLY…?
An emotional reminder by our beloved teacher Sheikh Abu Hakeem. A tremendous series so far this Ramadaan. TUNE IN!
Hadith 13 and 14 | Repentance | Riyaadh Al-Saaliheen | Sheikh Abu Hakeem Bilaal Davis

We do not understand the Qurān and the Sunnah in light of current events; we understand current events in light of the Qurān and the Sunnah.
Alhamdu lillah, the methodology of the Salaf, as taught by the Imāms of Ahlus Sunnah, past and present, has remained the same since the time of the Prophet, in principal and application.
As for those that have opposed this path, then their lack of consistency is evident from their social media timelines.
May Allah keep us safe.
The Hadith mentioning 72 wives in Paradise as a specific reward is found in:
Musnad Ahmad (no. 17182)
Tirmidhi (no. 1663)
Ibn Majah (no. 2799)
It has been graded Hasan (sound) by scholars such as Ibn Hajar & others.
We give precedence to the text over our opinions, my brother.
[Can You Earn Over 3 million Good Deeds?]
The Prophet—may Allah honour and save him—said:
“Anyone who recites a letter from the Qur'an will receive one good deed for it. And each good deed is rewarded with ten like it. I am not saying that alif lam mim is one letter. Rather, alif is a letter, lam is a letter and mim is a letter.” [1]
There are over 300,000 letters in the Qur'an (Mujahid—may Allah show him abundant mercy—puts the number at exactly 321,180 letters [2]; Sheikh Zayd bin Muhammad al-Madkhali—may Allah illuminate his grave—put it at exactly 323,681 letters [3])
This means that if you recite the Qur'an in its entirety just once this Ramadan, you can earn yourself—at least—almost three and a quarter million good deeds! One could say “do the math” but it has already been done for you.
So, what are you waiting for?
﴿فاستبقوا الخيرات﴾
[Al-Baqarah 2: 148]
“So hasten towards all that is good.” [4]
