Lovely teaching from the blessed Prophet Muhammad (S): "The All-Merciful has mercy on those who show mercy, so have mercy on those on Earth and The One in heaven will enfold you in Mercy." It is as if we are enfolded in a Divine Womb of Mercy. www.youtube.com/shorts/OaTAx...

Watch my full conversation with @brotheromid.bsky.social . It was very inspiring for us, and I hope it will be for you as well.

You can see through the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's warmongering is to contrast the ways in which he speaks to Iranian audiences ("Freedom", "Women's rights"), to American audiences ("nuclear weapons"), and to Israeli audiences ("Amalek"). www.youtube.com/shorts/gHQ91...

New video focusing on Ahmad Ghazali & the School of Love (Madhhab-e ishq), w. @brotheromid.bsky.social :
