It is difficult for a religious scholar or speaker to excel in different areas of knowledge and professional expertise. The earlier scholars had an audience who saw a smaller world. Modern youth receives a flood of information from childhood. Many are in different countries with different cultures and way of life. To inspire such a diverse population requires a scholar born in their generation or the one earlier.

Thank you for sharing. The foundation of a thriving civilization, among other factors, is based on moral principles. The Prophets and Messengers championed this as one of the primary areas of growth, and modern society continues to benefit from their guidance. Regards, Abbas

Assalam Alaykum @Wania Qazalbash My sincere prayers for your recovery. I suggest making a habit of asking yourself the reason behind your thoughts. For example, first ask yourself, “What are the reasons I am worried about XYZ?” Then ask, “What are the reasons for me not to worry about it?”. Finally, "which reason makes more sense and outweighs the other?" With practice, you will, inshaAllah, train your mind to feel balanced. Please also consider anything you may have been consuming that could cause frustration or an imbalance of thought—this may include medication, other non-organic products, etc. InshaAllah, may you get well soon. Regards, Abbas

Assalam Alaykum Your mother’s response to your choice of a suitable potential partner reflects anger and frustration. Sometimes, a person needs time to consider information from another’s perspective. You are making an honourable choice by seeking your mother’s blessing for your marriage. The claim of disowning you and dissociating from you for wishing to marry a woman of your choice is unfair. However, cultural views and practices can at times make it difficult for parents to deal with societal pressures. I pray that patience in dealing with this matter brings ease for you from Allah, inshaAllah. Regards, Abbas

Assalam Alaykum With respect to dropshipping, I understand that it can be wrong to mislead customers, particularly if they ask about the origin of the products or if issues arise with the supplier. As a personal preference, in order to maintain transparency and to err on the side of caution, I may have included a clause or information regarding the dropshipper. Regards, Abbas

Assalam Alaykum Are you considering oppression carried out by one individual against another, by several individuals against one person, by an individual against a group of people, or by one group of people against another?

Assalam Alaykum As I understand it, this is a matter of the reasoning behind judgment. The nature of judgment changes according to its context. For example, the law of the land ensures official justice through its legal system. A person serving an official punishment ought not become the victim of punishment by non-officials. However, a person who has been witnessed by non-official individuals committing an immoral indecency that is personal in nature and does not harm anyone else ought to be judged only to a limited extent. Firstly, by maintaining distance while he commits that indecency, and secondly, by offering meaningful advice so that he may consider refraining from committing such an act, even if it has gone unpunished. Moreover, in certain contexts, the individual himself may become worse than the witnessed immorality or crime. For example, a person may not only carry out the act but also promote it knowingly, intentionally, and persistently. Similarly, there are instances where the act of crime or immorality requires more attention than the individual or group involved. For example, in a society where slavery is a common practice and not considered wrong, the institution of slavery must be addressed as a primary issue. This does not mean that individuals are not questioned for participating in a harmful practice. Rather, the act itself must be judged first in order to eradicate it from such a society. The reasoning behind judgment allows us to reach better conclusions about how judgment is carried out, upon whom it is carried out, by whom it is carried out, and when it is carried out. Doing so objectively, without personal agenda or grudge, allows us to get a sense of what Abu Nur stated: "see the spirit and goodness Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) created for every human being, manifesting God mercy by giving humans power, love, wealth, the five senses, strength to move, intelligence, childrens, families, bonding etc. Without anymore looking throught the body eyes; judging, looking down, envy, hatred, jealously, lust etc" Thank you.

Indeed, personal achievement and character building are blessings during times of patience in hardship. May Allah make our lives easier and fruitful in due course. The internal states of consciousness and certainty are often felt as being enhanced without our specifically trying to achieve them. I love how they gradually arrive in increments, often as a surprise. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Regards, Abbas
