The Controversy & Damage of Talāq/Divorce-Culture amongst the Muslims

Allah states: “Wretched-Women are for Wretched-Men & Wretched-Men are for Wretched-Women. Likewise, Integral-Women are for Integral-Men & Integral-Men are for Integral-Women: they’re Good-Doers in spite of whatever Others state/claim about them. Forgiveness & Noble-Provision await them.”…
…Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.24, V.26; ibn-Hibbān; al-Bayhaqī)

This-Article is based on Other-Things I’ve written, regarding Relationship-Disasters:

The “Damsel-In-Distress” Mythos which Muslims adopt via Fake-Wokeness & Feminism

Deflection via Blame/Fault-Culture

I really hate Relationship Cry-Babies

The Evil&Destructive-Nature of “Cancel-Culture”

at-Talāq/Divorce, very sadly, is becoming a Popular-Subject/Topic amongst Muslims. And, it’s almost exclusively because so many Muslims have become Serial-Divorcees. I, as a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist) literally address Marital-Issues amongst Muslims & Non-Muslims on a Daily. Pertaining to Muslims specifically, I can authoritatively say that there’s 3-Reasons how/why so/too many Muslim-Marriages fail:

1. The Biggest-Blunder All-Humans make, as per any of our Human-Relationships, is that we audaciously/arrogantly “expect” Others to make us “happy”. Happiness is a Personal-Responsibility. No one can make us “happy”. But, anyone can make us miserable

2. Most-Muslims refuse to recognize/accept the Reality, that there’s a Difference between an Islāmic-Marriage & Halāl-Fuckin.

3. Most-Muslims refuse to recognize/accept the Reality, that there’s a Difference between an Islāmic-Spouse & a Halāl Sex-Partner.

Because of the Lack of Recognition/Acceptance of what I’ve aforementioned: Certain-Muslims continue to pursue/choose Negative/Toxic-Relationships. Then, they still audaciously/arrogantly complain about the Negative-Results of their Negative-Choices…just as Albert Einstein said: “Insanity is continuously doing the Same-Thing expecting Different-Results.”.

This Following-Video chronicles is a Story which hit the Muslimsphere pretty shockingly. It’s about a Typical/Classic-Scenario of a Messy-Divorce. The Subject of the Scenario is known as Dunia Shuaib. They rose to Prominance, as a Muslim-Female regarded as a Person-Of-Knowledge within Certain-Circles of the Muslimsphere. The Person via the Video is known as Salman Ateequi: they didn’t even have the Basālah/Courage to disclose their Actual-Name. Ironically, they’ve a Website&YouTube-Page titled “BehindVeils/www.behindveils.com & yet they’ve veiled their own Nominal-Identity. Nevertheless, they accused Dunia Shuaib of committing al-Buhtān/al-Humazah (Slander/Defamation against them, as well as basically issuing a Contract on theit Life. They also mentioned Lawsuit-Litigations between themselves & Dunia Shuaib.

The Video itself details Subject-Details of how/why the Tumultuous-Marriage between Salman Ateequi & Dunia Shuaib evolved into what it did. There’s Several-Things I took issue with, regarding the Video itself.

My Commentary of the Video

1. The Relationship-Origins between Salman Ateequi & Dunia Shuaib

The Person via the Video details how they got involved with Dunia Shuaib. Via their own Admission, they stated their “Relationship” was a “Secret”, for 4-Years prior to their Marriage. The Question is how/why. Salman Ateequi pontificated/claimed that this was done to avoid al-Ghībah/Gossip (via an-Namīmah [Backbiting] and/or [Slander]). However, something very specific caught my Attention via the Video. Salman Ateequi mentioned that their “Niyyah/Motive” was to please Allah. If that were truly the Case, then how/why did their 4-Year “Relationship” last longer than their Marriage?!!!

2. The Marriage vs. the Sneaky-Link

The two of them even being together for 4-Years (not 4-Days, not 4-Weeks, not 4-Months, etc.) prior to their Marriage raises every Red-Flag humanly imaginable. It’s seemingly obvious that there’s so much more to this, than Salman Ateequi chose to speak about. I mean, who entertains an In-Person Relationship with someone for 4-Years prior to there Marriage?!!! Now, clearly, I’ve 0 Islāmic-Proof that they were committing az-Zinā/THOTery for 4-Years prior to their Marriage. Yet, at the Same-Time, it’s rather obvious that Salman Ateequi alludes to that being the Case exactly.

3. A Cursed-Relationship

Salman Ateequi is extremely delusional, as per them seemingly not realizing how/why Shit went wrong between themselves & Dunia Shuaib. Well…assuming that they told the Truth regarding the Origins of their Pre-Marital Relationship: what did they actually expect to occur?!!! So, if Persons are Sneaky-Linking…literally “Playing-House” (as “Salman admitted to nearly Word4Word): what Islāmic-Entitlement/Justification should anyone think/feel they’ve got, to dare “expect” Allah to “favor” what they’ve got going-on?!!! Salman Ateequi via This-Video: they literally deflected/gaslit their own Personal-Responsibility/Accountability, as per the 4-Years of az-Zinā which they themselves admitted to. Make that Goofy-Shit make Sense.

4. Biased-Judgment AKA Judgmentalism

I’ve 0-Respect for Salman Ateequi portraying themselves as a “Victim” of Dunia Shuaib. “Salman” is literally no different from/better than anyone whom complains about a Relationship-Gone-Bad. The Video itself screams of the “Toxicity/Narcissism” Kalām/Rhetoric anyone who’s suffering from Sympathy-Addiction uses, in order to give themselves a “Pass” for the Sucka-Shit they’ve done via their Relationships. It’s like I always tell People: You either judge everyone or no one…you either give everyone or no one a Pass.

5. Blaming/Faulting everyone except themselves

Most-People whom throw-around the Term “Narcissism/Narcissist” are addicted to Fake-Wokeness. And, 9/10, they’re just as apathetic as those whom they call “Narcissists”. Most-Persons whom pontificate/claim that Others are “Toxic”, “Narcissistic”, etc. are literally the proverbial “Pot calling the Kettle Black.”. It’s solely beecause Most-Persons ignore the Red-Flags which exists within themselves. So, of course, Most-People want to wave the “Damsel-In-Distress/Woe-Is-Me” Card.

6. They got exactly what/who they deserved

They did it to themselves…they were addicted to Pseudo-Piety/Fake-Righteousness. And, subsequently they got caught-up with someone whom was just as fraudulent/fake as they were. They themselves are a Piece-O-Shit & thereby subsequently attracted a Person who’s a Piece-O-Shit as well. The allowed themselves to get addicted to Illusion. They ignored all the Red-Flags, because, the same Red-Flags which exists within Dunia Shuaib: Salman Ateequi knew of within themselves. They refused to correct the Red-Flags within themselves & that’s precisely how/why Allah tested them with a Person just like them as per Character/Behavior. As per Salman Ateequi: they’re not a “Victim”. Rather, they’re a Casualty of their Stupidity.

Lessons to be learned from Ahādīth/Scenarios like presented via the Video

1. Regarding any Scenario involving Human-Conflicts, there’s always 3-Sides to any Hadīth/Story:

1. Side-A

Side-B

What really happened

Only Allah, then those directly involved in the Scenario, know what really happened. Most-Humans don’t have enough Integrity, to tell what really happened. Most-People (regardless of whether we’re Right or Wrong) will only tell their Side of the Story, as opposed to what really happened. There’s a Difference between being a Liar & being a Dishonest-Person. There’s a Difference being Right & being Correct.

2. We all must divorce ourselves (absolutely No-Pun-Intended) from allowing ourselves to succum to Pseudo-Piety/Fake-Righteousness Addiction:

People are very good at Deceit, but horrible at Authenticity. We have to stop pretending that we exists without Flaws, Faults, Sins, etc. As per Marital-Relationships (as is the Subject of This-Article anyway): Muslims do a lot of Sucka-Shit via pretending to be “Religious” for example. Personally, anyone (especially any Muslim) whom even dares to refer to themselves as “Religious”: Red-Flag. I truly despise the Usage of the Term, because, it negatively emboldens Arrogance…much like if/when People refer to themselves as “Humble”. The Next-Time anyone even says about thevermselves: “I’m humble.”…seriously observe them. People literally sound arrogant saying: I’m humble.”.

3. There’s a Severe/Desperate-Need for Counseling/Therapy

Marriage, Divorce, Marriage, Divorce, Marriage, Divorce. The Madkhali Cycle!

There’s so/too many of us whom’re Delusional-Mothafuckas out here, who really think/feel our Shit don’t stink. We really adopt this Twisted-Mindset/Mentality, that everyone’s got Problems, everyone’s the Villain, etc. except ourselves. The Need for Counseling/Therapy is a Farīdhah for Muslim-Communities. But, it’s got viewed with the Seriousness it actually deserves. And, because of this: there’s going to be Persons whom continuously suffer as per Lack of Wellness-Resources. (Ironically) if Wellness-Resources were taken more seriously via Muslim-Communities, then it’d equip Muslims to improve ourselves. If Counseling/Therapy were promoted more amongst Muslims: there’d be More Healed-People whom wouldn’t subject Others to be on the Receiving-Ends of our Fitn/Traumatic-Experiences, resulting from Unresolved-Issues/Problems within ourselves.

I really hate Relationship Cry-Babies

Courtesy of Mel Robbins

This is precisely how/why People just need to keep Certain-Things to themselves. As we all know: Social-Media is a Haven for Pseudo-Validation: everyone wants to be recognized/accepted by someone via something. Yeah…it’s Human-Nature, I get it. But, at the Same-Time: at which Point do we as People cease pursuing Attention-Addiction?!!! It’s like via the Social-Media Age: we’ve all allowed ourselves to just spill-out so many Unnecessary-Things about our Personal-Selves, our Private-Lives, etc. for nothing else than to portray the Classic/Typical “Damsel-In-Distress/Woe-Is-Me” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative. I definitely plan on granting Several-Examples of precisely what I mean, as well as my Responses to them.

Now, as per what I’ve aforementioned (regarding the “Relationship Cry-Baby”). Yeah…that’s a Real-Thing. I’ve literally seen it manifest itself, my Entire-Life, both professionally & personally. The Relationship Cry-Baby literally wants to blame/fault anyone, everyone, etc. as per Negativity/Toxicity via their Lives. But, they’re never willing to fess-up to the Role which they played in how/why they self-imposed Negativity/Toxicity upon themselves. As a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist), I constantly/consistantly come across dealing with Relationship Cry-Babies. These’re Persons whom pontificate/claim that they want/need Relationship-Healing, yet ironically they only desire for the Healing to be 1-Sided. By that, I mean this: they audaciously/arrogantly only want People to correct Others & they themselves to be given “Passes” as per the Goofy-Shit they do.

This literally proves what I always tell People: Men pursue Women…Women choose Men. Women are Direct-Reflections of the Men they choose. Women whom pontificate/claim that the Fathers of their Children are Bums, then by default/definition that makes Those-Women Bums also.

Certain-People often always are quick to point at Others, pontificating the “Red-Flags” of Others, etc. (meaning, the Negative/Toxic-Characteristics of Other-People). Also, very often there’re Certain-Persons whom pontificate/claim: “I ignored the Red-Flags.” & there’s a Sabab/Reason for this. It’s because we, as Humans, individually…all of us…etc.: we’re literally the Red-Flags ourselves. The Way Allah chose to create al-Insān/Humanity…as Human-Beings: we’re each/all the Mirrors of one another. We all possess equally Positivity & Negativity. The Difference, however, is that we each have al-Mashī’ah/Freewill. We make Choices, Decisions, etc. thus determining whether we go Right or Left…Positive or Negative…Righteous or Wretched…etc.

Any&all Positivity/Negativity which we see, via Other-Humans, are merely Reflections of whatever Positivity/Negativity we possess internally. It’s simply that Judgmentalism is the Order of the Day via Apathy…as I always say: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge. At This-Point, I’ll explain the Difference between Judgment vs. Judgmentalism…Judgment is comprised of what I’ve coined as the “4-C’s of Judgment”:

a. Critique

b. Criticism

c. Correction

d. Condemnation

If/once anyone imposes the 4-C’s of Judgment upon ourselves, as we would anyone else…this is acceptable. It’s because we then recognize/accept the Reality that we’re just as imperfect as those whom we judge. But, if/once we exclusively impose the 4-C’s of Judgment upon Others & not ourselves…this is a Serious-Problem. It’s because then we actually think/feel that we’re “Perfect”. But, al-Ihsān/Perfection only belongs to Allah…this is how/why one of the Names-Of-Allah is Al-Muhsin/The Perfect. In All-Reality, only Allah is entitled/justified to be Judgmental & that’s how/why one of Their Names is Al-Hakam/The Justifiably-Judgmental.

Sadly though: instead of holding ourselves responsible/accountable, as per the Goofy-Shit we do, we always want to “Shift the Goal-Post”. As per Human-Nature, People never want to be Wrong. And, because of That-Fact we always wish to dodge Responsibility/Accountability. And, ironically, that always makes our Lives worse.

Deflection via Blame/Fault-Culture

The 3-Pillars of Success are: Ambition, Focus, Drive.

https://fb.watch/ky9U4iZ7TK/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Christina Randall is 💯%-Unentitled/Unjustified to complain about one of their Former Fellow-Inmates taking their Man from them. They did that to themselves. They’re the one whom admitted that they didn’t care about/love the Man whom was holding them down while they were incarcerated. Essentially, they were using That-Man. Also, moreover, if you’re not married to someone they don’t owe you anything. They’ve just got to take That-L. Scenarios like these are precisely what I mean, regarding People whom’re addicted to Blame/Fault-Culture. They’re unentitled/unjustified to lay claim to the “Damsel-In-Distress/Woe-Is-Me” Card. They’re not a “Victim”, rather they’re a Casualty of their own Stupidity.

“And don’t be led to Destruction, via your own Hands.”…”Those whom believe pay attention: Upon you are yourselves.”…”Verily, Allah doesn’t change what’s within any People unless/until they change what’s within themselves.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.195; Chpt.13, V.11)

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth, as well as disrespecting People.”.
(an-Nawawī)

This literally proves what I always tell People: Men pursue Women…Women choose Men. Women are Direct-Reflections of the Men they choose. Women whom pontificate/claim that the Fathers of their Children are Bums, then by default/definition that makes Those-Women Bums also.

As a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist), I’ve a Bird’s-Eye Vantage-Point into the Intricacies of Human-Nature/Behavior. Amongst These-Intricacies are: the Will/Want to be irresponsible for any/all of the Goofy-Shit which we as Humans do, wanting to blame/fault Others for Goofy-Shit we’ve literally chosen & imposed upon ourselves, wanting to do whatever we want in lieu of any Consequence, etc. These are literally Things which I’m faced with, all the Time, whenever I engage any of my Counseling/Therapy-Clientele. Those-Intricacies of Human-Nature/Behavior play-out via any/all Human-Relationships. Certain-People always want to be granted the “Damsel-In-Distress/Woe-Is-Me” Card. I’m going to detail Several-Examples.

1. “Red-Flag” Culture

Certain-People often always are quick to point at Others, pontificating the “Red-Flags” of Others. Meaning, the Negative/Toxic-Characteristics of Other-People. Also, very often there’re Certain-Persons whom pontificate/claim: “I ignored the Red-Flags.” & there’s a Sabab/Reason for this. It’s because we, as Humans, individually…all of us…etc.: we’re literally the Red-Flags ourselves. The Way Allah chose to create al-Insān/Humanity…as Human-Beings: we’re each/all the Mirrors of one another. We all possess equally Positivity & Negativity. The Difference, however, is that we each have al-Mashī’ah/Freewill. We make Choices, Decisions, etc. thus determining whether we go Right or Left…Positive or Negative…Righteous or Wretched…etc. Any&all Positivity/Negativity which we see, via Other-Humans, are merely Reflections of whatever Positivity/Negativity we possess internally. It’s simply that Judgmentalism is the Order of the Day via Apathy…as I always say: It’s easy to judge People, when our Sins aren’t Public-Knowledge. At This-Point, I’ll explain the Difference between Judgment vs. Judgmentalism…Judgment is comprised of what I’ve coined as the “4-C’s of Judgment”:

a. Critique

b. Criticism

c. Correction

d. Condemnation

If/once anyone imposes the 4-C’s of Judgment upon ourselves, as we would anyone else…this is acceptable. It’s because we then recognize/accept the Reality that we’re just as imperfect as those whom we judge. But, if/once we exclusively impose the 4-C’s of Judgment upon Others & not ourselves…this is a Serious-Problem. It’s because then we actually think/feel that we’re “Perfect”. But, al-Ihsān/Perfection only belongs to Allah…this is how/why one of the Names-Of-Allah is Al-Muhsin/The Perfect. In All-Reality, only Allah is entitled/justified to be Judgmental & that’s how/why one of Their Names is Al-Hakam/The Justifiably-Judgmental.

2. Fathers/Mothers and Children

Notice I didn’t mention “Parents”, but only “Fathers/Mothers”: there’s a Difference between being someone’s Father/Mother & being their Parent. Only Biology makes People Fathers/Mothers…Commitment to positively cultivate one’s Offspring makes People Parents. I say this, definitively, because there’s those whom wish to blame/fault the World for the Destructive-Natures of the Monsters whom’re their Offspring. Nay…they got a lot of This-Shit via the Dereliction/Inaction of their Fathers/Mothers via Social-Inheritance. No one is born a Bad-Ass. However, from the 2nd-Trimester to Age-10: any/all Positive or Negative Human-Experiences affects us (as Humans) potentially/perpetually for the rest of our Lives. And, that’s almost exclusively predicated upon one’s own Personal-Upbringing. Now, People must own-up to their Failures (as per failing their Offspring). But, sadly, Most-Fathers/Mothers won’t ever do this…this requires Humility. Ironically, it really starts with People recognizing, accepting, admitting, etc. that they’ve pursued the Wrong-Women to be the Mothers of their Children & chosen the Wrong-Men to be Fathers of their Children. Most-Persons honestly aren’t even concerned about the Character/Quality of the Fathers/Mothers of their Chikdren…they’re almost exclusively concerned about Suckin&Fuckin.

3. Significant-Others

Sexual-Partners…Oh Yeah, this is going to get a Lil-Messy. Piggybacking on what was previously-aforementioned: Most-Men&Women only pursue/choose whom they’re attracted to, as opposed to whom’s good for them…as I always tell People: Men pursue Women…Women choose Men. Men&Women, as per Sexuality, function/operate largely based upon Relationship-Patterns. These-Patterns have been highly-influenced/dominated by their Upbringings…Social-Inheritance again. There’s Men whom pursue constantly/consistently the Same-Types/Kinds of Women & then audaciously/arrogantly complain about those Same-Women. Likewise, there’s Women whom choose the Same-Types/Kinds of Men & then audaciously/arrogantly complain about those Same-Men. To Men…Those-Women are simply whom they are: you’re the Problem & to Women…Those-Men are simply whom they are: you’re the Problem. Men aren’t entitled/justified to judge the Same-Women they’ve consciously-pursued…Women aren’t entitled/justified to judge the Same-Men they’ve chosen. Albert Einstein said it best: “Insanity is continuously doing the Same-Things expecting Different-Results.”…as I always tell People: Apathy is worse than Ignorance…Stupidity is not a “Flex”.

4. The Company we keep

The Statement “Birds of a Feather flock together.” is an Underrated-Idiom. There’s Lots of Truth/Honesty via That-Statement. Humans are, of course, Social-Creatures/Beings. And, based upon That-Fact, we identify Persons predicated upon Specific-Factors, Spaces/Places People frolic to, Things which People indulge in jointly, etc. I’ll detail Examples of what I mean. Criminal-Culture…if you see a Bunch of People hanging-out with Known-Criminals: the Logical-Conclusion is that People will assume that you’re a Criminal as well. So, Basic-Intelligence should tell anyone…if they don’t want to be associated with Criminality then don’t fraternize with Criminals. Jail/Prison-Culture…if someone’s chilling with Persons whom’re of Specific-Cliques, Particular-Gangs, Opposing-Factions, etc. & Shit gets 2 happenin…the Logical-Conclusion is to target anyone known to be amongst them. Another Jail/Prison-Example…if someone’s around the Snitches, the Homos, the Sex-Offenders, etc.-Now, as per the Unwritten-Rules of Jail/Prison-Culture: whoever is around them is amongst them. So, if you don’t slide to That-Side then don’t politic with those Individuals. THOT-Culture…if you’re a Woman whom befriends Female-THOTs: in the Minds/Hearts of Average-Men you’re a Smut too. Likewise, if a Man is Friends with Male-THOTs: 9/10 the Average-woman will assume you’re a Womanizer as well. So, if you don’t wish to be aligned with those Types/Kinds of Persons then don’t have Friends like them. Subtance-Abuse…if there’s Individuals whom you know whom’re Strung-Out on Intoxicants & let’s say they dwell in a Trap-House or some sort of Raggidy/Sketchy-Situation: if someone’s seen frequenting where Junkies are it’s naturally going to be concluded that they’re Junkies also. So, unless you want to be associated with being a Junkie…stay out of the Junkie-Terrain.

5. Misery&Unliveliness

This results from any Human-Experience which triggers and/or reminds us of Negative-Times, Challenging-Happenings via our Existence within ad-Dunyā/the Mundane. If/when any Person loses what’s known as the “Will to live”-Naturally, Most-People will in fact think/feel that someone just wants to hang it up & end their Lives. It’s not always like this. There’s truly an Abundance of Complexities/Complications via someone’s Life-Experiences which cause Unliveliness. More often than not: a Person may simply not want their Life as is and/or they may want to live the Lives of Others whom they know, know of. It’s very probable that they don’t view who they are individually as valuable, meaningful, purposeful, important, etc. They very often may actually fantasize and/or become addicted to whom they see/view via T.V., Film, Entertainment, Porn, Online, Social-Media, etc. Then, they may wish to live the Lives they’re stimulated by as if intoxicated with wanting to be anyone/everyone externally of themselves. This-Concept “Living my Best-Life” is literally one of the Culprits of Personality-Addiction/Worship: it’s actually a Grave-Facade. Whenever Most-People conceptualize That-Mythos, it’s exclusively pertaining to Mundane-Gains & Material-Pleasures…as Allah states: “And the Mundane-Life is only the Matā`/Enjoyment of al-Ghurūr/Illusion.”. None of Those-Things will ever yield as-Sa`ādah/Happiness…as-Sa`ādah can never be externally acquired, rather, it must always be introspectively/interally fostered&cultivated: as-Sa`ādah is a Personal-Responsibility. Ironically, one of the Major-Reasons how/why so/too man Human-Relationships are negative, toxic, etc. and/or fail is because as Humans we audaciously/arrogantly expect Other-People to make us “happy”. But, it’s humanly impossible to make anyone happy, except ourselves…like I always tell People: No one can make us happy, but anyone can make us miserable. And, when they continuously see Person-After-Person disappointing them, worse yet making them miserable (because they refuse to find as-Sa`ādah intrapersonally) they delve further into a Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional Abyss.

More often than not…we as People get caught-up in Situations, Tragedies, Conflicts, etc. And albeit there’s 0-Justification to tolerate/accept Oppression via anyone. Yet, at the Same-Time: we must always recognize/accept & ponder upon whether or not we’ve brought Certain-Things upon ourselves. This is just like the Final-Scene from the Film “Platoon”, directed by Oliver Stone: “We did not defeat the Enemy, we defeated ourselves…because the Enemy was in us.”. Naturally, there’s always Immense-Resistence if/whenever I invite those whom I counsel to self-analyze/examine themselves. It’s Human-Nature to never want to be “Wrong”, “Incorrect”, etc. But, if we refuse to recognize/accept when we fuck-up, then we’ll never self-improve That-Way. And, that’s truly what it’s all about…it’s about at-Tahsīn/Improvement.

As a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist): I’ve personally encountered Various-Persons either expressing/verbalizing that they no longer see the Point of Life and/or express/verbalize their Contemplations/Desires, Motives/Intents, etc. to commit Suicide. My Niyyah/Motive is to thoroughly decipher the Difference between being Unlively & being Suicidal. Now, is there Correlation between Unliveliness & Suicide…Absolutely. However, does this mean that both are exclusively a Causation of one another…Absolutely not.

al-Hazan/Unliveliness

This results from any Human-Experience which triggers and/or reminds us of Negative-Times, Challenging-Happenings via our Existence within ad-Dunyā/the Mundane. If/when any Person loses what’s known as the “Will to live”-Naturally, Most-People will in fact think/feel that someone just wants to hang it up & end their Lives. It’s not always like this.

This-Concept “Living my Best-Life” is literally one of the Culprits of Personality-Addiction/Worship: it’s actually a Grave-Facade. Whenever Most-People conceptualize That-Mythos, it’s exclusively pertaining to Mundane-Gains & Material-Pleasures…as Allah states: “And the Mundane-Life is only the Matā`/Enjoyment of al-Ghurūr/Illusion.”. None of Those-Things will ever yield as-Sa`ādah/Happiness…as-Sa`ādah can never be externally acquired, rather, it must always be introspectively/interally fostered&cultivated: as-Sa`ādah is a Personal-Responsibility. Ironically, one of the Major-Reasons how/why so/too man Human-Relationships are negative, toxic, etc. and/or fail is because as Humans we audaciously/arrogantly expect Other-People to make us “happy”. But, it’s humanly impossible to make anyone happy, except ourselves…like I always tell People: No one can make us happy, but anyone can make us miserable. And, when they continuously see Person-After-Person disappointing them, worse yet making them miserable (because they refuse to find as-Sa`ādah intrapersonally) they delve further into a Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional Abyss. This is precisely how/why Allah states: “Those whom believe pay attention: Upon you are yourselves.” & “Verily, Allah doesn’t change what’s within any People unless/until they change what’s within themselves.”.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.105; Chpt.13, V.11; Chpt.57, V.20)

at-Tahlukah/Suicide

As per what I’ve aforementioned, via the Pic  concerning “wanting to die”: in All-Truthfulness/Honesty, it’s a Misnomer. I’ll explain what I actually mean. Even if/when anyone becomes and/or is Suicidal: they don’t actually want to die…they really only want their Suffering, Life-Challenges, etc. to die. However, Suicidal-Persons (for Various-Reasons) allow ash-Shaytān/Satan to convince them that the Only-Way to end their Suffering/Life-Challenges are to end themselves. Speaking of Suicide, as per my Professional-Experience: there exists a Strong-Correlation between Suicide & Sexual-Abuse. At least 98% of Persons I’ve counseled regarding Suicide were sexually-abused (at least once via their Life-Times). Being Suicidal is literally a Person’s Last-Call for Help…it’s actually a Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional S.O.S.-Signal. This is the Reason how/why the Average-Suicidal authors what’s known as the “Suicide-Note”. They do this to catch they Attention of at least 1-Person who actually cares enough to reach-out to them, to stop/prevent them from committing Suicide. For example: the Famous-Series “13 Reasons Why”, which is literally based on a True-Story/Actual-Events by the way: I’ve literally seen almost all the 13-Reasons manifested via Other-People I’ve actually counseled. I mean, via the Nasr/Help-Of-Allah: I’ve literally been able to physically prevent People from threating/attempting Suicide rite in front of me via Real-Time & via Real-Life.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.195; Chpt.7, V.11-25; Chpt.114; Muslim)

This is the Logic of Sad/Depressed-Persons. This is neither normal nor healthy.

So, what’s to be done…what can be done…how can anyone help People dealing with either Unliveliness, Suicide, or both, etc.?!!!

Being Permeable for Others

People literally Suffer-In-Silence, resulting ditectly from the Fact that they’re unheard, not listened to, uncared for, blamed/shamed to Death, ignored/deflected, ridiculed/mocked, etc. Under These-Circumstances, it’s truly no Wonder how/why Certain-People utterly refuse to seek/acquire ar-Ruqyah/Healing, as per their Fitn (Challenges, Tests, Trials, Afflictions, etc.).

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=822253535565867&id=133364553410796

This-Khutbah/Sermon details explicitly the Farīdah/Islāmic-Mandate to be invested in the Sihah (Wellbeing/Wellness) of Others & the Haqq/Islāmic-Justification for Others to be invested in our Sihah.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.2)

Ugly-Necessity

Looking in one’s Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional Mirror is an Extremely-Scary Experience. It requires us all, by default, to face the Goofy-Shit/Sucka-Shit which we indulge in & co-sign for ourselves as well as Others. It’s not something which is comfortable at all. It really takes Courage, to face one’s Self & stare into the Ugliness of our own Storms which causes so much Spiritual/Psycho-Emotional Damage. As I always tell People: Courage isn’t the Absence-Of-Fear, it’s the Willingness&Ability to confront Fear.

Yet, at the Same-Time, one may ask: “Well, even if/when I decide to face my Demons…what’s next?!!! What do I do with that?!!!”. These are quite honestly Excellent-Questions, because one just can’t look at their own Demons & just leave them like that…there must be Things done about them after facing them. I’ve got Some-Answers.

The Following is a List of Discussion-Topics, geared towards facilitating Self-Awareness, in light of honing one’s own Maturation/Advancement of Intrapersonal & Interpersonal Intelligence/Communication.

The Pathetic-Ugliness of Sexual-Snitching

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Verily, amongst the Most-Evil of the People, to Allah, on the Day-Of-Standing is a Man who was intimate with their Wife and spread their Sexual-Secrets thereafter (i.e. Slut-Shames them).”.
(Muslim)

In spite of the Fact that they’re not married to each other: the Rules still apply. What they did was Sucka-Shit.

For those whom’re lost: This-Post is literally about a Muslim-Male, complaining about their Wife (one of their Multiple-Wives) self-pleasuring themselves via Masturbation, Sex-Toys, etc. (via their Absence from their Spouse).

“And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8)

“Men&Women are Shields for/of one another…”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.187)

As per This-Subject, this is very crucial. Detailing Marital-Issues/Problems (particularly/especially via al-Jinsiyyat-ul-Bashriyyah/Human-Sexuality) is very much a Taboo-Topic & full of Countless-Complexities/Complications. However, if/when it comes to airing-out ones own Dirty-Laundry via the Public-Sphere, to perhaps either acquire: Empathy, Sympathy, Attention, etc. is Hella-Problematic & Religio-Spiritually Dangerous.

Doing this, by default, without the Correct-Niyyah/Motive, and/or without Religio-Professional Advisement (Counseling, Therapy, etc.), can easily fall under Several Kabā’ir (Infamnias/Major-Sins):

a. Unjustly disclosing the Affairs of the Bed.

b. Backbitting: detailing Negative-Things about one’s Spouse which is true/honest, yet is exclusively done to make them look Bad.

c. Slander: accusing one’s Spouse of doing Negativity which is either untrue/dishonest or unproven, exclusively to make them look Bad.

(al-Kabā’ir/The Major-Sins, adh-Dhahabī)

“Men are Responsible for Women…”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.34)

This-Citation of at-Tanzīl details that (via al-Islām) Men are Mafrūdh/Islāmically-Required to provide Several-Things for Men, specific to This-Āyah/Verse: this is referring to the Wives-Of-Men. The Things which’re required to be provided are the following:

1. Establishing Religio-Spiritual Irshād/Direction.

2. Establishing Holistic-Wilāyah/Protection.

3. Establishing Psycho-Emotional Rifq (Compassion/Comfort).

4. Establishing as-Suhbah/Companionship.

5. Establishing Food, Clothing, Shelter.

6. Establishing Pipe-Game.*

(*Clearly This-Post is centered around Number-6…just as a Dhikr/Reminder)

The Word/Term for “Marriage”: “an-Nikāh”…
…it etymologically (literally) means “Sexual-Intercourse/Fuckin”. So, by default: obviously (for Obvious-Reasons) Sex is the Asl/Rudement-Foundation for any Marital-Relationship, which makes Sense, because it’s a Known-Fact (via Human-Behavior) that al-Jinsiyyah/Sexuality is the Most-Intimate Sifah/Manifestation of Human-Communication. Keep in Mind, also, that Sex is largely Non-Verbal Communication & at least 80% of Human-Communication is Non-Verbal. This is so Islāmically-Factual, that anyone whom is Married & their not being Sexually-Appeased: a. If they’re a Man, they can divorce their Wife because of this. b. If they’re a Woman, they can be granted a Khul`/Divorce-Request.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.19; al-Bukhari; Muslim; an-Nasā’ī; Mālik; Ahmad; Lisān-ul-`Arab: Lexicon of the Arabic-Language, ibn-Manzhūr)

But, if you’re fearful that you won’t be just: then just wed 1-Wife…”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.4, V.3)

Let’s keep it 💯: Muslim-Men having Multiple-Wives has become a Fad, Trend, etc. fueled by Machismo/Male-Egotism, Fake-Wokeness via the Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative of “Red-Pillism”, “High-Value”, etc. So, upon that: Muslim-Men sim to literally 1-Up each other, via the Polygyny-Racket…as a Sifah/Manifestation of Religio Dick-Measuring. It’s basically a Way for Many-Muslims to fulfill a Fantasy of being a “Player”, under the False-Pretense of Polygyny. They’re literally trying to do via al-Islām what many of them were really incapable of doing if they were Non-Muslims, which is acquiring Multiple-Pussies. I don’t care whom agrees/disagrees, likes/dislikes, etc. what I’ve stated…how I’ve ststed it…etc. All of those reading This-Article know damn well that I’m being 💯%-Truthful/Honest here…
…”Truth is Truth, regardless of whom/where it comes from.”.(Islāmic-Principle) As Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated:

“Apathy/Arrogance is denying Truth & mocking People.”

And, as Mu`ādh ibn-Jabal (May Allah be pleased with them) once stated:

“Always accept Truth, even if it comes from a Kāfir (Disbeliever/Non-Muslim) or a Fāsiq/Sinful-Muslim.”

(an-Nawawī, Abū-Dāwud)

“Either remain with them or depart from them via Respect/Dignity.”
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.2, V.229&231; Chpt.17, V.23)

Now, as per the Aforementioned-Post: the Issue of Abandonment is very much Islāmically-Valid. Sadly, though: Many-Persons refuse to recognize/accept the Reality that they’re violating the Huqūq/Rights of their Spouses…Men & Women are equally blameworthy/faultworthy of this for the Record. Both Husband & Wife are equally: responsible, accountable, liable, etc. as per making their Marital-Relationship work or to part Ways via at-Talāq/Divorce…like the Ole-Saying: “It takes 2-Hands to clap.”.

“Have you seen those whom take their Desires as their God?!!! Are you then their Enabler?!!!
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.25, V.43)

There’s Several Red-Flags which I personally have detected, via the Aforementioned-Post, regarding the Person complaining about their Spouse getting themselves off without them. It seems, as per the Correspondance, that all the Blame/Fault, Responsibility, Accountability, etc. is exclusively being imposed via a 1-Sided Fashion & that’s azh-Zhulm/Oppression by default. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not at all co-signing what they’ve accused their Spouse of doing. Yet, at the Same-Time, as I always tell People: You either judge everyone or no one…
…you either give everyone or no one a Pass. This-Man absolutely must self-evaluate their own Situation & recognize/accept the Reality that they’ve been exposed for probably one, some, most, or all of the following:

1. Lacking Religio-Spiritual Irshād.

2. Lacking Holistic-Wilāyah.

3. Lacking Psycho-Emotional Rifq.

4. Lacking as-Suhbah.

5. Lacking Food, Clothing, Shelter.

6. Lacking Pipe-Game.

“Pick your Poison.” as the Ole-Saying goes & check/correct one’s Self. Any/All-Men being challenged/tested via this Same-Dilemma must/should introspect whether or not this applies to them personally. For Obvious-Reasons, these aren’t at all Comfortable-Convos for any Man to have with themselves via Intrapersonal-Communication, nor with Others via Interpersonal-Communication. But, this must be unearthed&remedied, for one’s own Individual-Sihah/Wellness. As hurtful & shameful as it may seem/feel: All-Men must have the Basālah/Courage to face this, if it so applies to them. Courage isn’t the Absence-Of-Fear, it’s the Willingness&Ability to confront Fear. Moreover, Lots of Tawādhi`/Humility is required to even aknowledge that this applies to one’s Self & to take Realistic/Pragmatic-Steps towards dealing with their own Respective Marital-Issues, and to accept Help/Support from Others if need be.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.13, V.11; an-Nawawī)

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2022/06/23/malescars/

As a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist), there’s Several-Pieces of Advice for any/all Muslim-Males experiencing such Scenarios as these:

1. Try one’s best to refer one’s Affairs directly to Allah firstly & ask Allah to guide one’s Decision-Making.

2. Don’t be hasty to tell, post, etc. one’s Marital-Issues/Problems via the Public-Sphere (regardless of whether it’s disclosed via the Public-Sphere or via Anonymity). And, that’s because there very well may be People, via an-Nazhr/al-`Ayn (Evil-Eye), whom’re joyful that Certain-Persons have Marital-Issues/Problems.

3. Actually have These-Types/Kinds of Convos with one’s Spouses…”Communication is Key.” as the Ole-Saying goes.

4. Seek Religio-Professional Relationship-Counseling/Therapy if necessary.

5. Don’t maliciously out one’s Spouse via al-`Udwān/Animosity against one’s Marital-Partner, as this can easily be classified as al-Ghībah/Gossip (via al-Buhtān/al-Humazah).

6. Be grateful, to Allah, that Masturbation/Sex-Toying is all that they’ve done/are doing…realistically they could’ve been committing Adultery. And, as I always tell People: Women only cheat on Men they don’t respect…
…any Woman who’s with any Man they respect: they’ll leave them as opposed to cheating on them. By the way: this literally only applies to marriage. Realistically, if you’re unmarried then it really isn’t “Cheating”, because, unless you’re married to someone they don’t owe you anything.
(at-Tabarānī, al-Bayhaqī, ibn-Hajar al-`Asqalānī)

http://www.garethbryant.wordpress.com/2020/11/19/sexcrimes/

In Conclusion…I hope that Persons like those whom detailed their Relationship-Strife find Some-Type/Kind of Ruqyah/Healing. It’s very evident, that they’re a Miserable-Person & may Allah replace their Hardship with Ease, as well as any/all Others challenged the Same-Way.

The Hidden X-Factor of al-Liwāt/Homosexuality

Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Verily, the Character/Behavior of the People-Of-Lot is what I fear for my Nation mostly.”.
(al-Kabā’ir/The Major-Sins, adh-Dhahabī)

This-Video via YouTube details a Challenge to Homosexuals pertaining to the Impossibility to possess 5-Things. One of those Things were a Positive-Relationship with one’s Father/Male-Parent. The Reactions to the 2nd-Thing which basically none of those in the Video were capable of affirming/confirming were clearly obvious. Also, I’ve literally witnessed the Reality of this via my Profession as a Chaplain & even in my Personal-Life: almost every single Person whom I know (Relatives included) whom ended-up being Homosexuals had Negative/Toxic-Relationships with their Bio-Fathers and/or 0-Relationships with their Bio-Fathers. Also, the same rings true as per those whom I’ve provided Counseling/Therapy to, regarding Sexual-Identity Crisis and/or al-Liwāt/Homosexuality. And, more often than not: it’s not like the Bio-Fathers didn’t want to be in the Lives of their Bio-Children…as I always tell People: Just because the Father wasn’t present doesn’t mean they wanted to be absent. It’s not always the Blame/Fault of the Father, as per how/why they’re absent. There’s Countless-Women (along with Court-Systems, their Relatives, Loved-Ones, Friends, etc.) whom’re literally the Human-Reasons how/why their Children didn’t have their Bio-Fathers.

Furthermore, 98% of Persons whom I’ve counseled as per Sexual-Identity Crisis and/or al-Liwāt were Victims/Survivors of al-Ightisāb/Sexual-Abuse at least once via their Lifetimes. And, 98% of Persons whom I’ve counseled pertaining to Suicide have been Victims/Survivors of al-Ightisāb, at least once via their Lifetimes. However, as to be expected: Persons whom’re Pro-Homo won’t take kindly to these Kinds/Types of Facts, because it completely debunks their “Born This-Way” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative. It compromises the Pro-Homo Agenda to recognize/accept this as Truth/Honesty. To add to this: there’s been Confirmed-Reports via the Personal-Testimonies of Sexual-Abusers whom specifically target Children via Child-Molestation…they readily admit that their Main Targets-Of-Interests are Women whom’re Single-Mothers/Single Female-Parents whose Fathers of their Children aren’t present via the Lives of their Children.

These-Videos are very introspective & necessary to watch, pertaining to Boots on the Ground Realities as per how/why the Proliferation of al-Liwāt is what it is. Lack of Fatherhood/Male-Parenthood is an Undeniable-Piece to the Puzzle of al-Liwātiyyah/Homo-Culture spreading as it does. The Socio-Politically Engineered War against Patriarchy/Masculinity has been given a Greenlight to thrive via Feminism. This “Toxic-Masculinity” Mythos/Pseudo-Narrative is very destructive. And, it’s very Pharaonic/Draconian…just as Allah states about the Oppression of Fir`awn/Pharaoh against Banī-Isrā’īl/the Children-Of-Israel: destroy the Men but spare the Women.
(Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.7, V.141)

It’s abundantly obvious, the Correlations&Connections. Yet, unfortunately, anyone whom expresses the Reality of these are subjected to Unjust-Ridicule/Ostracization, Unjust-Alienation, etc. only because they refuse to abide by this Agenda-Driven Trend. As Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Don’t be an Imma`ah/Trend-Follower”.
(at-Tirmidhī)

Chaplaincy-Stages

This is 💯%-Truth/Honesty. This is literally what makes the Role of a Muslim-Chaplain so challenging…People literally expect Muslim-Chaplains to behave just like Typical-Imāms.

This is how/why what I do matters:

https://religionnews.com/2023/02/15/chaplains-offer-more-than-prayers-new-study-confirms-impact-on-icu-families/

What I mean by “Chaplaincy-Stages”, I’m exclusively referring to what the Actual-Caregiver experiences via what they: observe/witness, think/feel, etc. as per them journeying along with those whom they serve via Chaplaincy. These-Stages don’t carry the Same-Weight, as per Intensity, nor do they hold the Same-Level of Severity. But, they’re all equally important to the Chaplaincy-Process.

Confrontation:

Insecurity:

Resistence:

50-Shades Of The Minhāj

This is a Recurring Social-Experiment, concerning the Intimate/Secret-Lives of Lowclass-Niggas disguising themselves as “Good-Brothers” and the Muslims struggled&challenged to help them improve. Albeit initially a Parody of Religio-Social Ills via Muslim-Demographics/Communities: it’s actually predicated upon Real-Challenges which’re unique to the Muslim-American Experience, particularly/especially amongst Muslim Afro/Latino-Peoples.

Featuring:

Salafī-Niggas…Ash`ārī-Niggas…
…Shī`ī-Niggas…Sūfī-Niggas…
…Baby-Abīs…So-Called “Students-Of-Knowledge”…
…Just Came Home from Jail/Prison-Niggas…
…Fake-Woke Niggas

Now, I, as a Chaplain (Counselor/Therapist) & coupled with my own Personal Religio-Challenges: this Social-Experiment is actually very important to me, because it rings so true to the Plight of Muslims whom’re struggling with their own Challenges, Insecurities, Vices, Addictions, etc. And, ironically/sadly, there’s not enough Resources invested into Muslim-Communities to adamantly confront these Religio-Social Issues. What’s truly necessary though is for Muslim-Leaders to truly work together, galvanize Religio-Social Resources, most importantly actually care about the Aformentioned-Issues & do something substantial about it. Also, just as important: each/every Individual-Muslim must introspectively address their own Life-Challenges & allow themselves to acquire Healing.
