I’m sure whoever has watched my videos on free mixing knows my stance on this matter. Ali Dawah is once again oversimplifying the issue by using his usual rabbinical Talmudic loopholes. He wanted to insinuate, based on the hadith in which ʿUmar رضي الله عنه advised the Prophet ﷺ: O Messenger of Allah, let your wives be veiled.” But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not do so. Ali then goes on a rant asking, Do you have more ghayrah than the Prophet ﷺ? while completely missing the context of the hadith. He conveniently left out the very next part of the narration: قَدْ عَرَفْنَاكِ يَا سَوْدَةُ. حِرْصًا عَلَى أَنْ يَنْزِلَ الْحِجَابُ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ I recognised you, O Sawdah. He said this because he eagerly desired that the verses of hijab be revealed. So Allah revealed the verses of hijab. This emphasises that Umar رضي الله عنه was waiting for revelation from the Qur’an. The reason the Prophet ﷺ did not command hijab before that point was simple: it had not yet been revealed to him by Allah. It’s that simple. Let me educate this fool even further. When the Muslims were being persecuted, tortured, and killed in Makkah, the Prophet ﷺ did not command his followers to fight. Why? Do you think the Prophet ﷺ was afraid? Astaghfirullah. Rather, he was waiting for revelation from Allah. The permission to fight came after the migration to Madinah, not before. Ibn Kathir, in his tafisr, mentions: قال العوفي، عن ابن عباس: نزلت في محمد وأصحابه حين أخرجوا من مكة. وقال غير واحد من السلف: هذه أول آية نزلت في الجهاد، واستدل بهذه الآية بعضهم على أن السورة مدنية، وقاله مجاهد، والضحاك، وقتادة، وغير واحد. Al-Awfi narrated from Ibn ʿAbbās that he said: This verse was revealed concerning Muhammad ﷺ and his companions when they were expelled from Makkah. A number of the early scholars said: “This was the first verse revealed concerning jihad.” Some of them used this verse as evidence that this sūrah is Madinan. This was also the view of Mujāhid, al-Ḍaḥḥāk, Qatādah, and a number of other scholars. Ibn Kathir then explains: وإن الله على نصرهم لقدير ) وقد . وإنما شرع [ الله ] تعالى الجهاد في الوقت الأليق به; لأنهم لما كانوا بمكة كان المشركون أكثر عددا ، فلو أمر المسلمين ، وهم أقل من العشر ، بقتال الباقين لشق عليهم; ولهذا لما بايع أهل يثرب ليلة العقبة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، وكانوا نيفا وثمانين ، قالوا : يا رسول الله ، ألا نميل على أهل الوادي يعنون أهل منى ليالي منى فنقتلهم؟ Allahonly legislated jihad at the time most appropriate for it. While the Muslims were in Makkah, the polytheists greatly outnumbered them. Had Allah commanded the Muslims who were fewer than one-tenth of their enemies to fight at that stage, it would have been an unbearable hardship for them. For this reason, when the people of Yathrib pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on the night of al-ʿAqabah, and they numbered a little over eighty, they said: O Messenger of Allah, shall we attack the people of the valley? meaning the people of Mina during the nights of Mina and kill them?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: إني لم أؤمر بهذا I have not been commanded to do that. The Prophet ﷺ made it absolutely clear: “I have not been commanded to do that. Likewise, in the case of hijab, he did not do so as per the hadith until Allah revealed it. The principle is exactly the same: the Prophet ﷺ acted upon revelation, not personal preference or public pressure. That completely destroys Ali Dawah’s argument, the idiot Ali dawah

Woh Masjid-e-Aqsa jis ke ard-o-girdaur aur chaaron taraf barkat hi barkat hai aur yeh sair is liye karwai ta ke hum apne mahboob (salallahu alaihi wasallam) ko apni kuchh nishaniyaan dikha dain kyunke woh sunne wala aur dekhne wala hai. Allah Ta'ala ne apne har Nabi ko mujizat se nawaja. Hazoor Alihi al-Salatu was-Salam ko jin mujizat se nawaja gaya un mein ek ahem mujiza “Ma’raj-un-Nabi” hai. Yeh woh mujiza hai jis par aql-e-insani dang reh jati hai. Yun bhi kaha ja sakta hai Hazroor Alihi al-Salatu was-Salam ka pal bhar mein saaton aasman ki sair karna aur Sidratul-Muntaha se bhi aage ka safar tay karna is par iman lana aisi kasoti hai jis ke zariye ek Momin ki azmaish aur parakh ki ja sakti hai. Hazrat Abu Bakr Razi Allah anhu ko jab Quraish Makka ne is safar Ma’raj ke mutaliq bataya to aap ne kisi bhi lamhe ki takheer ke bagair is par iman le aaye jabke Abu Jahl munkir hi raha. This is the special day when our beloved Prophet, the embodiment of light, Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him), was taken by Allah Almighty on a miraculous night journey, while fully awake in both body and soul, from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, and then ascended through seven heavens to the divine throne. Allah says:- Translation:- Holy is He Who took His (most beloved and intimate) Servant in a small portion of a night from the Sacred Mosque to the al-Aqsa Mosque, whose surroundings We have blessed, in order that We might show him (the Perfect Servant) Our signs. Surely, He is the One Who is All-Hearing, All-Seeing. (Quran 17:1) Allah has bestowed miracles upon every Prophet. One of the most significant miracles bestowed upon Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) is the Night Journey (Isra and Miraj). This miracle is beyond human comprehension. It can be said that to believe in the Prophet's journey through seven heavens and beyond the furthest limit of the universe in a single night is a test of faith for a believer. When the Quraysh of Mecca told Hazrat Abu Bakr about this Night Journey, he immediately believed without hesitation, unlike Abu Jahl who rejected it. Organised by: Tehreek Dawat-e-Faqr (Regd.)

Ahmed al Ahmed's cousin gives an interview to Al Araby ✅ His full name is Ahmed Fathi Al-Ahmed ✅ Ahmed is Australian, of Syrian origin, from the city of Idlib, from the village of Al-Nayrab ✅ He didn’t know; it was not targeting Jews. He saw an armed man shooting at people. When he saw people dying and being shot, he couldn’t bear it. ✅ At first, he wasn’t thinking about dying. When he saw people dying and bullets flying above his head, he said, “God gave me courage.” ✅ Regret? No, God forbid. On the contrary, it was a heroic act. Why regret it? He is proud that he saved lives. Only God knows how many people would have died. ✅ We live in Australia with all nationalities and sects. In our life, we never think about these things—whether someone is of a certain nationality or religion. Here, we don’t care whether someone is Jewish, Syrian, Muslim, or otherwise Full translation of interview: Mr. Mustafa, allow me to speak with you. We will watch a video that perhaps Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also seen. Afterwards, Netanyahu said the following: “I watched a video of a Jewish man attacking one of the assailants, disarming him, and saving lives that only God knows.” For Netanyahu, the person who saved lives is a Jewish man. Could you tell us who saved lives and what your relationship with him is? Peace be upon you. How are you? Hello and welcome. Thank you. Hello, my dear brother, greetings to all your viewers on your honorable channel. If it’s correct, Mustafa Al-Asaad, I would like to introduce you to Ahmed Al-Ahmed. Hello, welcome. Ahmed. Ahmed is Australian, of Syrian origin, from the city of Idlib, from the village of Al-Nayrab. His full name is Ahmed Fathi Al-Ahmed. You’re Mustafa, right? Yes. I apologize; the video cut out, but I can hear you well. The picture has returned. Can you introduce Ahmed again from the beginning? He is Australian, a citizen of Australia, of Syrian origin from the city of Idlib, from the village of Al-Nayrab. His full name is Ahmed Fathi Al-Ahmed. Okay, what is your relation to him? He is my maternal uncle’s son—so a cousin, roughly. And you were with him? You were at the hospital with him. Where is he now? Ahmed is currently at St. George Hospital in Kogarah, Sydney. Tomorrow morning, he will undergo treatment to remove bullets from his left shoulder. He was shot twice: once in his shoulder and once in his left arm. How is his condition? His condition is stable. We are waiting until morning to remove the bullets from his shoulder, God willing. Why wait until morning to remove the bullets? His condition is stable, thank God. The doctors said that tomorrow morning, God willing, they will remove the bullets from his body. These are medical matters; I don’t know the details—the hospital makes the decision. Did you speak with him? Yes, yes, I spoke with him and saw him. I sat with him for almost an hour, God willing. The first question that comes to mind: in the video—if the colleagues allow us to watch it again—he moves between cars, attacks one of the armed men, and disarms him. What was going through his mind at that moment while risking his life? Did he know that this attack was targeting Jews? He didn’t know; it was not targeting Jews. He saw an armed man shooting at people. When he saw people dying and being shot, he couldn’t bear it. It was a humanitarian act more than anything else. Any decent human being and citizen, when seeing this, would surely want to stop the deaths. Did he talk about moments of fear? Did he think about his life while trying to take the weapon? I spoke to him; he told me about it. At first, he wasn’t thinking about dying. When he saw people dying and bullets flying above his head, he said, “God gave me courage.” After he managed to take the weapon and was injured, did he feel any regret? Regret? No, God forbid. On the contrary, it was a heroic act. Why regret it? He is proud that he saved lives. Only God knows how many people would have died. Life and death are in God’s hands. He did a heroic act; why would he regret it? He is very proud that he saved even one life. We know well the situation in the Middle East and Israel’s actions and sensitivities regarding the Israeli state. But in your normal human discussion with him as family... Because Israel in Australia perceives this attack as antisemitic. Before discovering that the person who saved Jewish lives is in fact a Muslim from an Arab country. In your conversation with Ahmed, did you sense any negative view toward Jews? Does this justify Israel’s belief in antisemitism? We live in Australia with all nationalities and sects. In our life, we never think about these things—whether someone is of a certain nationality or religion. Here, we don’t care whether someone is Jewish, Syrian, Muslim, or otherwise. When Ahmed saw the scene and people being shot, his conscience told him he couldn’t bear it. God gave him strength and faith to stop the person shooting at people. We don’t think about religion or nationality; we are Australians living together with love and respect. Do you feel that the Arab community or Australians of Arab origin have seen a change in how the wider Australian society views them after this incident? No, that is not true. I don’t think that will happen. We have lived in Australia for a long time. We are Australian citizens and have never seen such views or experienced racism. We work and live together regardless of religion, background, or nationality.

A message: To all women in the Western world, in Canada, the USA and Europe, this is the fate that Allah from the Holy Quran and Muhammad is planning for you. Read and learn the attached holy commandments and listen to the testimony of this Yazidi girl. Muhammad in the seventh century was the founder of the first Islamic state. Quran 33.50 "O Prophet) Muhammad) !Verily, We have made lawful to you your wives, to whom you have paid their Mahr (bridal-money given by the husband to his wife at the time of marriage), and those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses - whom Allâh has given to you, and the daughters of your ‘Amm (paternal uncles) and the daughters of your ‘Ammât (paternal aunts) and the daughters of your Khâl (maternal uncles) and the daughters of your Khâlât( maternal aunts) who migrated (from Makkah) with you, and a believing woman if she offers herself to the Prophet, and the Prophet wishes to marry her - a privilege for you only, not for the (rest of) the believers. Indeed We know what We have enjoined upon them about their wives and those (slaves) whom their right hands possess, in order that there should be no difficulty on you. And Allâh is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Muhammad Muhsin Khan. The Noble Quran: Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an in the English Language (English and Arabic Edition) (pp. 1665-1666). Kindle Edition. Commentaries for 33.50 - Ibn Al Kathir. (those (slaves) whom your right hand possesses whom Allah has given to you,) means, `the slave-girls whom you took from the war booty are also permitted to you. Quran 33.21 "Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh(Muhammadصلى الله عليه وسلم) you have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much." Muhammad Muhsin Khan. The Noble Quran: Interpretation of the Meanings of the Noble Qur'an in the English Language (English and Arabic Edition) (p. 1648). Kindle Edition. Sunan an-Nasa'i 3959: It was narrated from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah had a female slave with whom he had intercourse, but 'Aishah and Hafsah would not leave him alone until he said that she was forbidden for him. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "O Prophet! Why do you forbid (for yourself) that which Allah has allowed to you.' until the end of the Verse. Sahih (Darussalam) - Sunan an-Nasa'i 3959 Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: We got female captives in the war booty and we used to do coitus interruptus with them. So we asked Allah's Messenger(ﷺ) about it and he said, "Do you really do that?" repeating the question thrice, "There is no soul that is destined to exist but will come into existence, till the Day of Resurrection." Sahih al-Bukhari 5210 Narrated Ibn Muhairiz: I entered the Mosque and saw Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri and sat beside him and asked him about Al-Azl (i.e. coitus interruptus). Abu Sa`id said, "We went out with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for the Ghazwa of Banu Al-Mustaliq and we received captives from among the Arab captives and we desired women and celibacy became hard on us and we loved to do coitus interruptus. So when we intended to do coitus interrupt us, we said, 'How can we do coitus interruptus before asking Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who is present among us?" We asked (him) about it and he said, 'It is better for you not to do so, for if any soul (till the Day of Resurrection) is predestined to exist, it will exist." Sahih al-Bukhari 4138 Narrated Buraida: The Prophet (ﷺ) sent `Ali to Khalid to bring the Khumus (of the booty) and I hated `Ali, and `Ali had taken a bath (after a sexual act with a slave-girl from the Khumus). I said to Khalid, "Don't you see this (i.e. `Ali)?" When we reached the Prophet (ﷺ) I mentioned that to him. He said, "O Buraida! Do you hate `Ali?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Do you hate him, for he deserves more than that from the Khumlus." Sahih al-Bukhari 4350 (711)Chapter: Regarding Intercourse With Captives: Abu Sa’id Al Khudri said “The Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) sent a military expedition to Awtas on the occasion of the battle of Hunain. They met their enemy and fought with them. They defeated them and took them captives. Some of the Companions of Apostle of Allaah(ﷺ) were reluctant to have relations with the female captives because of their pagan husbands. So, Allaah the exalted sent down the Qur’anic verse “And all married women (are forbidden) unto you save those (captives) whom your right hand posses.” This is to say that they are lawful for them when they complete their waiting period. Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) - Sunan Abi Dawud 2155 Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: That while he was sitting with the Prophet(ﷺ) a man from the Ansar came and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We get slave girls from the war captives and we love property; what do you think about coitus interruptus?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Do you do that? It is better for you not to do it, for there is no soul which Allah has ordained to come into existence but will be created." Sahih al-Bukhari 6603 Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "If a lady slave commits illegal sexual intercourse and she is proved guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, then she should be flogged (fifty stripes) but she should not be admonished; and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse again, then she should be flogged again but should not be admonished; and if she commits illegal sexual intercourse for the third time, then she should be sold even for a hair rope." Sahih al-Bukhari 6839 Link: Former Islamic state group sex slave speaks out: "every day we were humiliated and raped"

Egyptians and Arabs used to mock us Pakistanis 🇵🇰 when, after 1947, we would speak of the unity of the Muslim world. How can you accuse us of being a puppet of the United States? We did not carry out carpet bombing in Afghanistan—neither then nor now will we do so. The Americans wanted Quetta Shura wiped out. They wanted us to deploy our troops inside Afghanistan. We suffered losses, yes—but we still did not send in our army. The United States imposed sanctions on us. I remember being with Maleeha Lodhi - she would spend her days, from morning till night, arguing: how can you take our money and then halt the delivery of F-16 spare parts? We endured that hardship too. Today, Sadanand Sadanand Dhume says we are “obsessed” with Israel. If Israel were to return to its 1967 position today, we would have no issue with Israel. Our obsession is with the grave injustice inflicted upon the Palestinians—the latest manifestation of which we have witnessed in Gaza. For that writer, perhaps, it is no issue. Indian leaders go and embrace Netanyahu. We cannot embrace Netanyahu. Even if he were to grant Palestine statehood today, we still could not bring ourselves to embrace that man. Does that writer know that, unlike your children and mine, Palestinian children cannot even play? They're scarred for life. How can we then embrace Israel? Yes, we might benefit if we started counting pennies—if we looked away from Palestine in exchange for things like Pegasus, or the kind of electronic warfare capabilities that the Prime Minister of the 'world’s largest democracy' reportedly acquired to confront the Pakistan Air Force. If that is what we wanted, we could ignore Palestine. Has Sadanand Dhume written even a single paragraph for Palestinian mothers and children? I haven't read it. I am certain he hasn’t. Our “obsession” is with humanity itself. We have been mocked for it—but this is who we are. This is what Pakistan stands for. THAT is our 'obsession'.

Daniel Daniel Haqiqatjou Gives "Shirk Apologist" Unique Significance DH finally answers the question he's been asked about for months regarding his beloved shaykh Salek. According to DH, it's possible that Salek's statements and beliefs expressed in the video below are NOT shirk akbar. DH says, "When I read scholars influenced by Taqi al-Din al-Subki, and they talk about the Prophet ﷺ controlling the universe, I consider the possibility that this might mean control through their dua, even if they don't mention it explicitly. Rather, I only rule this interpretation out if they themselves say that the control exercised by the prophets and saints is not through their dua. This is how I interpret statements made by Taj al-Din al-Subki, Ibn Hajar al-Haytami, al-Suyuti, Sh Salek, and others. I know all of them have read the works of Taqi al-Din and other similar thinkers, and likely share their views." According to DH, it's possible that Salek merely means that the Prophet can make dua to Allah for certain things to happen and for our duas to be answered by Allah. This is the limit of the Prophet’s "control of the universe." DH says that he only rules out this interpretation if someone like Salek himself explicitly says that the "control of the universe" by the Prophet is NOT exercised through du'a to Allah. Guess what? Salek himself explicitly does just that! The video below starts by Salek addressing the topic of making istighatha and asking the Prophet DIRECTLY for things. Salek contrasts this with asking THROUGH the Prophet or asking the Prophet to make du'a for us. Salek explicitly says that we can ask the Prophet DIRECTLY for whatever we want without restrictions. This is because Salek believes that Allah gave all of His dominion to the Prophet for him to do with it whatever he pleases. The entire universe is under the direct authority and control of the Prophet. Salek explicitly says that the Prophet gives us whatever he wants FROM HIMSELF, not by making du'a to Allah or by Allah providing it because Allah already gave it to the Prophet to do with it whatever he pleases. Some examples of what Salek explicity says that we can ask the Prophet for DIRECTLY and that he can provide DIRECTLY FROM HIMSELF: Religious guidance of the heart, ANYTHING from the dunya or akhirah, knowledge, wealth, etc. Salek says that everything in the entire universe is his slave, including space and time and that the Prophet went BEYOND space (La Makaan) and time. Salek says that anyone who accuses him of committing shirk or kufr by making these statements becomes a kafir himself according to Imam al-Shafi'i. QUESTION: According to DH, how could anyone possibly express the shirki understanding of istighatha or al-wilayat at-takwiniyyah in clearer terms than his beloved shaykh Salek in the videos below? QUESTION: Why would DH desperately attempt to make ta'wil of his shaykh's statements when his shaykh explicitly denies DH's interpretation in the videos below? I'll let you all be the judge. Dan, you've cemented yourself as a shirk apologist. Enjoy.

A fascinating discussion by his Excellency Sayyid Ahmed Al-Shara regarding his strategic philosophy; focusing on self-reliance, institution building, and military preparation. Interviewer: "Why do you think God allowed for victory to be on your hands?" His Excellency Sayyid Ahmed Al-Shara: "[Laughs] The secret remains with God. No, look... Regarding the issue that occurred... true, it is one of those rare historical occurrences. However, God Almighty says in the Quran: "And you will not find in the way of Allah any change, and you will not find in the way of Allah any alteration." Usually, worldly situations and challenges have a logical explanation. We have inherited, across generations, a wrong culture. It is the culture of passive reliance (Ittikal). The possessor of "Right"—even if he is on the side of truth, and even if he is oppressed—if he does not take the necessary means to support himself, then the universal laws do not show favoritism. He will be defeated. So, we inherited ideas that put us in a sort of state of anesthesia. We sing about our past, but we lack a present. And we read history like a smooth, entertaining novel that always has happy endings. So we believe that this is how things will just resolve themselves for us. Facts confront facts. I do not submit to the philosophy that says, "Because you are on the side of Right, you will win without effort." The philosophy of victory and facing heavy challenges requires correct preparation. That is why... there were nations before us where God Almighty only asked the Prophets for worship, and He supported them with miracles. The Prophet Ibrahim, the Prophet Musa... they were not ordered to fight. In our religious philosophy, God Almighty gave permission to Muslims to fight. Consequently, He demanded preparation from them. Right? "And prepare against them whatever you are able of power..." etc. The theory is making the punishment of the oppressors happen at the hands of the believers. So, victory does not come to you via a miracle. The time of miracles is gone. The "miracle" lies in the fact that you prepare—a massive and strong preparation—and you utilize material means to the very last drop, exerting maximum effort. Then, you release that arrow and rely on God. God will grant success. But it is impossible... our problems will not be solved by us sitting at home worshipping God Almighty and that’s it. Our problems aren't solved by [passive waiting]. There is a surgical operation needed. You have a pain? sometimes it must be resolved. You must have the courage to perform the excision. You cannot suffer from cancer and content yourself only with prayer. That is why God created science and knowledge and pushed people to urge for it. Today, if you ask: "What are the reasons for the retreat of our regions and the advancement of other regions?" The answer is knowledge. Whoever reached knowledge first, and worked on it seriously, overcame the other. Quite simply. One was fighting with an arrow, while the other invented a cannon. If your maximum capability is to make an arrow, perhaps you will be supported through it. But if you still have the capability to make something greater than that, and you did not expend your capacity for it—relying only on [faith]—then you are the loser in the battle. So, compare the battle. We did not look at the battle as merely military. We realized we had to build institutions within it. We built industry in it. We built an economy in it. From the sweat of our brow, we were able to build a military force. A military force that we built autonomously. We manufactured our own weapons. Today, the missile exhibition... [contains] locally manufactured weapons. They may not match the enemy's weapons, but we expended the maximum of what we could. We worked day and night. We tried to serve the people with the maximum energy possible, and at the same time, build a military force.

“A Wizard Is Never Late” In the scene where Gandalf meets Frodo in the Shire, Frodo teases him for being late. Gandalf replies: “A wizard is never late, Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early.” He then concludes that a wizard always arrives at precisely the time he means to. At first glance, this is simply a humorous remark, perfectly in keeping with Gandalf’s character. But when I place it alongside his other words throughout The Lord of the Rings, I feel that the line opens up a deeper way of looking at the character. Gandalf is not someone who knows the entire future in advance. But he is aware that he is carrying out a mission greater than himself, and that what happens in Middle-earth does not lie entirely within the control of any individual. So the question I want to ask is: when Gandalf says that he is neither late nor early, but arrives at the right time, what does “the right time” actually mean to him? Other forces are at work One of the lines that draws my attention most is what Gandalf says about Bilbo finding the Ring. In the novel, Gandalf says: “Behind that there was something else at work, beyond any design of the Ring-maker. I can put it no plainer than by saying that Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, and not by its maker. In which case you also were meant to have it.” I am especially struck by the phrase: “was meant to.” Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. And if that was so, Frodo was also meant to have it. What is interesting is that Gandalf does not explain the Ring coming into Bilbo’s possession simply as an accident. He senses that something lies behind the event, something beyond the intention of the very maker of the Ring. In the film, this idea is expressed more briefly. Gandalf says: “There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the evil.” There are other forces at work in this world besides evil. In the way I see it, this is one of the most important lines for understanding how Gandalf views the world. Sauron has his own will. The Ring has its own power and purpose. Bilbo, Frodo, Gollum, and the others still have choices of their own. But at the same time, Gandalf recognizes that other forces are at work beyond the control of any individual. He knows that he exists within a greater order than himself. Gandalf knows much, but he does not know everything This becomes even clearer when he speaks about Gollum. Frodo regrets that Bilbo did not kill Gollum when he had the chance. But Gandalf does not agree with this way of seeing things: “Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends... My heart tells me that he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end.” The words that stand out to me most are: “Even the very wise cannot see all ends.” Even the wisest cannot see every outcome. This is important. Gandalf does not know what Gollum will ultimately do. He only senses that Gollum still has some part to play before the story comes to an end. And this is precisely where I see Gandalf as different from a character who “knows everything in advance.” He sees more than Frodo does. But he also knows that what he sees is only part of the whole. He does not give himself the right to determine Gollum’s entire fate, because he understands that there are outcomes even he cannot yet see. This connects directly to Bilbo. Gandalf says: “The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.” Bilbo could not have known that when he spared Gollum. He simply chose not to kill a creature he felt pity for. Yet that choice later became one link in a story far greater than Bilbo himself. This is the part I find especially beautiful: An individual can still choose freely, yet cannot know the full meaning that their choice will eventually create. Therefore, the existence of a greater order does not necessarily turn the characters into puppets. Bilbo still chooses. Frodo still chooses. Gandalf still chooses. But those choices can become woven into a story greater than the people who make them. Gandalf as a servant When Gandalf faces the Balrog, he says: “I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the flame of Anor.” I am especially struck by one word: “servant.” Gandalf is a being of great power. Yet he does not introduce himself as the ultimate master of that power. He calls himself a servant. This fits Gandalf’s place in Tolkien’s world: he was sent to Middle-earth to carry out a mission. His power, therefore, is not an end in itself. He does not possess power simply so that he can do whatever he wants. His power is connected to a mission. This becomes even clearer after his confrontation with the Balrog. In the novel, Gandalf says: “Naked I was sent back — for a brief time, until my task is done.” The important words here are: “sent back.” He was sent back. And he returned: “until my task is done.” Gandalf did not decide for himself to return. He was sent back and continued his task. I do not want to take this line too far by claiming that Gandalf knew the exact details of the entire plan behind his return. What we can say more confidently is that Gandalf himself understands his return as having been sent back so that he may continue and complete his task. This fits the image of Gandalf throughout the story: He has a task, but he does not see the entire outcome. He knows that he is serving something greater, yet he still has to choose how to carry out his part. The circumstances are given, but the choice remains ours This is expressed very clearly when Frodo says: “I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.” Gandalf replies: “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” Here, I see two beautiful layers: The circumstances are given. The actions are chosen. Frodo cannot choose the age into which he was born. He cannot choose whether the Ring will appear. But Gandalf does not say that Frodo therefore has no choice. He says that what we can decide is what we will do with the time that is given to us. In The Return of the King, Gandalf also says: “It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set...” We are not meant to master all the tides of the world, but to do what lies within our power during the years in which we have been placed. These two lines complement each other very clearly: We do not control the whole of our circumstances, but we are still responsible for our part in them. In the way I see it, this is where providence and free will meet. Gandalf is not someone who simply sits back and waits for everything to happen according to a script he already knows. He still has to observe, judge, and choose. But neither does he act as an individual completely separate from a greater order. So what can “A wizard is never late” mean? After placing this line beside Gandalf’s other words, I begin to feel that “the right time” may carry a deeper meaning. Gandalf is not someone who knows the entire future. He himself admits: “Even the very wise cannot see all ends.” At the same time, he recognizes that the world does not operate solely according to the wishes of the individuals living within it. Bilbo was “meant to” find the Ring. There are “other forces at work.” Gandalf calls himself a “servant.” And when he returns to Middle-earth, he says that he was “sent back” until his task is complete. These words make me feel that Gandalf understands something very clearly: he can choose how he acts, but he is not the master of the entire story. He has a task. He has his part to play. But he does not know the full outcome to which that part will lead. So when Frodo tells Gandalf that he is late, Gandalf does not need to prove that he knows the future. He simply sees that moment from a different perspective. To Frodo, time is measured by when Gandalf should have arrived. To Gandalf, the important moment may be when he needs to be there to do what he is meant to do. And that is why, for me, the line: “A wizard is never late. Nor is he early.” is no longer merely a joke. It can be understood as a glimpse into the way Gandalf sees his place within a story greater than himself. He does not know the whole future. He does not control the entire course of the world. He simply knows that he is serving something greater, and that he must do his part when the time comes. Perhaps that is why, in the very same moment, Frodo sees a Gandalf who is late. While Gandalf sees himself as arriving precisely on time.

Pastor Tolu, whatever Pastor Segun Onayinka was accused of was not merely an accusation. He has preached some of the most destructive heresies. The video below is an example. From minute 0:13–0:40, he says God cannot kill or does not kill. We have had this discussion before here on CT. Anyone who says God cannot kill or does not kill necessarily ends up holding one or more of the following positions: That the God of the Old Testament is not the true God. That He is evil. That Scripture is not inerrant. And Pastor Segun Onayinka holds all these positions, as we will see in the video. From minute 1:58–2:38, he says Jesus, the true God, when He came, hurt no one, killed no one, and made no one sick; therefore, that is the true representation of God. This is the heresy of Marcion, who taught that the God of the Old Testament was evil and wicked, while Jesus alone is the true God. But God Himself says He kills and gives life. He is merciful, but He also judges with wrath. “See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of My hand.” — Deuteronomy 32:39 And when God revealed Himself to Moses, He declared both His mercy and His justice: — Exodus 34:6–7 This is God’s self-disclosure about Himself. However, Marcion created a new canon of Scripture for himself in order to uphold this heresy. He removed all the Old Testament books and retained only parts of Paul’s writings. He also removed portions connected to the Jews. That was deeply antisemitic. That same bitter antisemitism found in Marcion’s heresy appears to have been inherited by Pastor Segun Onayinka, as we will see in the video. From minute 2:57–3:12, he blatantly rejects that Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He says one of the twenty-four elders who called Him that was corrected because he was a Jew. Firstly, Jesus is the Lion. Secondly, no one corrected the elder. These elders stand before God’s throne. They are holy beings. But Pastor Tolu, this man whom you say was merely “accused” blatantly rejected Scripture, which says Jesus is both the Lion and the Lamb. But did Jesus kill? Of course He did. He is God. The One who gives life also has the authority to take it. They say Jesus was never recorded killing anyone in the New Testament. Well, Jesus did not begin existing in the New Testament. He is eternal. And Jude records Him killing the entire rebellious generation of Israel: “Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.” — Jude 1:5 Jesus did kill. He can. He is God. But this is Segun Onayinka. By the way, this is one of his more tolerable heretical positions. He has said worse. He believes communion and baptism are not necessary. He believes Jesus is not coming back, no second coming, that He never left. Look, if Jesus is not coming back, then there is no resurrection of the dead. And if there is no resurrection, then we have no hope. As Paul said: “If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 Paul even asked: “What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — 1 Corinthians 15:32 These kinds of teachings were condemned by the apostles. Paul cursed those who taught it. All of them. Peter cursed them so much in 2 Peter that the early church almost didn't add the book to the canon. This is precisely why Paul left Timothy in Ephesus and Titus in Crete: to silence those who taught such things. Finally, he held all these views while claiming biblical and theological scholarship that towered above every Nigerian preacher. He claimed he was part of a Bible translation committee. He has been asked which one, and till date, there has been no answer. We want to be moderate. But if the early church heard what he preached, he would have been declared anathema instantly. Pastor Segun Onayinka, unless he has changed and repented, has preached some of the most dangerous heresies in this nation. Preachers like him should not be tolerated in the community of the sanctified. He doesn't hold to sound doctrine. Scripturally, he is unfit to be an overseer. But you claim he was falsely accused. He wasn't. Pastor Segun Onayinka has preached has not preached the sound gospel of the faith. And God will put Satan under our feet soon. Amen.

O People of the Sunnah, Do Not Stop the Da'wah! A few minutes ago, I watched a snippet from an interview on Oyinmomo TV featuring the veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor, Sunny Alli. The interview covered his acting career, lifestyle, and several other aspects of his life. Towards the end of the conversation, he was asked to address a rumour that he had started attending Ilékẹ̀ú (an Arabic school) despite being an adult. Clarifying the matter, Sunny Alli explained that he is not enrolled in a conventional Arabic school. Rather, he regularly attends a circle of Islamic knowledge (ḥalaqah) held five times a week at the Ahlus-Sunnah mosque where he observes his daily prayers. He also mentioned that he attends the mosque's monthly public lectures. The interviewer then asked a profound question: "What have you gained since praying with the Ahlus-Sunnah and attending their lectures?" His response was refreshing. He explained that praying at the Ahlus-Sunnah mosque and consistently attending its lessons has made him more punctual and steadfast in his ṣalāh. He added that it helped him overcome his habit of betting and strengthened his understanding of essential matters of Islamic creed (ʿaqīdah) that are vital for success in this life and the Hereafter. One part of his response particularly stood out to me. He stated that he does not believe in many of the supernatural claims often portrayed in movies—such as exaggerated depictions of witches, human sacrifice, money rituals, and similar practices. At a time when we occasionally see some Muslim musicians and actors publicly speaking about such beliefs as though they are realities to be celebrated, hearing these words from Sunny Alli was truly a breath of fresh air. That short clip left me reflecting on something important: The Da'wah of the Sunnah is making progress. But we must not become complacent. Our Da'wah should never be confined to social media alone. We must continue taking the message of Tawḥīd and the Sunnah to our neighbourhood mosques, our families, our communities, our workplaces, and wherever people are willing to listen. Every sincere reminder has the potential to transform a life. The Prophet ﷺ said: "For Allah to guide one person through you is better for you than red camels." Never underestimate the impact of sincere Da'wah. A single lesson, a kind conversation, or an invitation to the mosque may become the means by which Allah guides a heart. May Allah grant Sunny Alli steadfastness upon Islam, increase him in beneficial knowledge and righteous deeds, and abundantly reward the imams, teachers, and everyone involved in the mosque where he prays and learns. May Allah also make us among those who call to the truth with wisdom, sincerity, and patience. Barakallahu feekum. — Aladodo Abdus-Salam , Alfa Shehu 👳🏾‍♂️ #nollywoodcelebrities #isese #islamicreminder #islamicpost #yorubaculture #dawah

A LESSON FOR ME FIRST, AND THEN FOR YOU IN THIS SHORT CLIP; A young Muslim boy was riding his bicycle and mistakenly hit a parked motorcycle. The owner wasn’t there. The impact removed a small part of the bike. The easy thing? Ride away. Nobody saw him. Nobody would probably question him. But this boy did something powerful. He got down. Picked up the detached part. Tried to fix it. When he couldn’t, he waited. And when the owner arrived, he confessed. Not only that, he brought out money from his pocket and offered it for repairs. This video reminded me of something that happened to me years ago in Malaysia during my PhD. A Nigerian colleague of mine, of Igbo origin, I think Dr. Aja, had parked his car at our postgraduate workstation. A Muslim lady accidentally scratched it while reversing. She couldn’t find him. So she left a note with her phone number, apologizing & offering to pay for the damages. The next morning, we called her. She came; deeply apologetic, insisting she must cover the cost. We were shocked. We thanked her for her honesty. She looked surprised and said, “Why are you thanking me? That’s the right thing to do. Everyone should do that.” For her, integrity was normal. For us, it felt exceptional. That is what proper upbringing does. That is what faith, when truly internalized, produces, a conscience that works even when no one is watching. The Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wa sallam taught us that part of excellence in faith is to worship Allah as though you see Him; and even though you do not see Him, to know that He sees you. That consciousness shapes character. Honesty is not about being caught. It is about being accountable. How many times have we walked away because “nobody saw”? How many times have we excused small wrongs because they were convenient? This young boy on the bicycle delivered a khutbah without words. Character is what you do when you can escape. Integrity is admitting fault before you are accused. Faith is returning what is not yours; even if no one would ever know. May we raise children who choose truth over convenience. May we become adults whose conscience is alive. And may we normalize doing the right thing, not because it is rare, but because it is who we are. Ameen.

In preparation for this, I checked out Dr. Jordan Cooper's (Dr Jordan B. Cooper) video on Chemnitz's examination of traditions and he made the remark that the Catholic Church contradicts the consensus of the Fathers on communion in both kinds, and that there is "no example of" communion in one kind in the Fathers. Respectfully, I think this is a messy critique which misses what is going on at the Reformation and what the precise claim of the Reformers was. I have already made a video extensively citing examples of communion in one kind starting in the 3rd century, through Tertullian, Ss. Jerome, Basil, etc, such as the widespread practice of private communion at home with the Eucharistic bread only. I will link it below. These are usually dismissed as "extraordinary instances," but this only shows that the Fathers did not actually agree with the Reformers. Remember, the Reformers (specifically the Lutheran orthodox) said that communion in one kind can NEVER happen. Johann Adam Scherzer, for example, said that if someone cannot receive wine, “[he] should be kept away from the whole, than that he should not receive the whole” (Anti-Bellarmine, disp. 11, th. 6, obj. 9). To demonstrate that the Catholic Church "contradicts" the Fathers on communion in both kinds (which is Dr. Cooper's internal critique), one needs to show that the Fathers of any age unanimously (at least morally) taught that it was a matter of faith to hold that both kinds must be received. Certainly, no consensus ever existed. On the contrary, we know they often did make the exception and allowed Christians to receive only one kind, which shows they did not agree with the Lutherans that this is a divine precept (to receive both). Dr. Cooper conflates the ordinary liturgical practice with what Catholics mean by a "consensus on the Fathers." For more, I recommend reading St. Robert Bellarmine who has a really good response to Martin Chemnitz. Here is a helpful example. It was truly a unanimous practice to preserve the Eucharist after the liturgy and treat the elements as consecrated. The Reformed (to my knowledge) unanimously deny this is the case, and the Lutherans (from my reading of Chemnitz and Gerhard) admit that Christ's presence persists but only for taking the Eucharist to the sick. The early Church affirmed Christ's presence in the Eucharist in the Catholic sense; they preserved it even for reasons which were not for the sick and nevertheless affirmed its lasting consecration (Ss. Irenaeus, Ambrose, Jerome, to name a few). The Catholic view of tradition tells us that this practice/belief (that Christ is still present post-liturgy) must be valid and true (since the universal church cannot err), but it does not establish a precept i.e. just because the whole Church often preserved the Eucharist, it does not mean we actually have to do it; it just means we can do so validly and licitly; it also means this is a certain rule which Protestants contradicted (from a Catholic POV). Even if communion in both kinds was the universal practice (which it was not), this would not suffice to say the Tridentine Church is in contradiction, since this would only tell us it is valid (duh, so does Scripture). There would need to be a unanimous testimony from the Fathers of, let's say, the fourth century, that communion in both kinds is the only way and that to oppose this is heresy; a testimony which does not exist and is even contradicted.

It is a pleasure to be with you this evening to celebrate the memory and contribution of our first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru. He was the prime architect of the modern Indian nation-state. His was a life anchored firmly in parliamentary democracy. He had a steadfast belief in planned economic growth and a profound commitment to the development of scientific temper alongside the development of scientific and technological capabilities. To him, secularism — in which he firmly believed — meant the celebration of India’s many diversities while strengthening its fundamental unity. His legacy continues to shape our everyday lives. Decades have gone by since his time, but he continues to serve as a beacon of light to millions of our countrymen and women. It is inevitable that such a monumental figure will have his life and work analysed and critiqued — and that is indeed as it should be. Although the temptation to divorce him from his times and the challenges that he had to face and to look at him, devoid of the historical context in which he functioned has become quite widespread. Yet, while we welcome ongoing analysis of his contributions, what is not acceptable is the systematic attempt being made to denigrate, distort, demean and defame him. The sole objective of this is to not only diminish him as a personality but also his universally recognised role in India's independence struggle and his early decades as a leader of an independent nation challenged by unprecedented problems, but it is also to demolish his multifaceted legacy in a crude and self-serving attempt to rewrite history. Analysis is one thing, but deliberate mischief with what he said, what he wrote and what he did is another thing and totally unacceptable. And who are the forces that have launched this project? We all know that they have worked for years and years—for decades—and finally, here they are. They belong to an ideology that had no role whatsoever in our freedom movement, that had no role whatsoever in the making of our Constitution. In fact, they even burnt it and were totally against it. It is an ideology that long ago fanned an atmosphere of hate that ultimately led to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi ji. His killers today continue to be glorified by its adherents. It is an ideology that has consistently rejected the ideals of our founding fathers. It is an ideology with a bigoted and viciously communal outlook. Its approach to nationhood is based on stoking prejudices of all kinds. Let there be no doubt whatsoever that the project to vilify Jawaharlal Nehru ji is the main objective of the ruling establishment today. Their goal is not just to erase him; it is actually to destroy the social, political, and economic foundations on which our nation has been founded and built. The road ahead is not easy. But there is simply no option but for each one of us, individually and collectively, to stand up and confront this project. We not only owe it to the memory of Jawaharlal Nehru ji and his comrades—we owe it to ourselves, and even more to the coming generations. The unapologetic and fierce defence of the Nehruvian legacy is not an act of nostalgia. It is a commitment to restoring India's constitutional promise, to safeguarding reason in the face of propaganda, and to ensuring that our republic remains modern and forward-looking. If we succeed, it will not only honour Jawaharlal Nehru ji's memory; it will ensure that the India he envisioned remains a reality. At a time when tolerance in public life is shrinking, when dissent is painted as disloyalty, and history is reduced to partisan combat, Nehru ji's example becomes even more vital. He taught us that disagreement is not a threat but a democratic necessity—that unity does not demand uniformity; that a confident nation need not fear the truth about its past. Friends, there is some reason for hope. Last month, the Jawaharlal Nehru Memorial Fund also launched an archive which can be accessed at The archive is an easily searchable and freely downloadable digital archive—also, by the way, accessible on your smartphone. At present, it covers the hundred published volumes of his selected works, covering the period from 1903 till the day before he died. The archive will continue to expand. So, there it will be for you all to access any time you want to know something about what he said, what he wrote, or what he did. Sandeep Dixit's initiative, which has brought all of us here this evening, is another sincere attempt to take on this challenge of rescuing Nehru ji from the web of deception. And we need many, many more such initiatives across the length and breadth of our country. I will end by congratulating Sandeep and his team and wishing him and his colleagues the very best in their endeavours. Jai Hind! : CPP Chairperson Smt.

This is an incredibly damning piece of historical evidence: This is Davyd Arakhamia, parliamentary leader of Zelensky's ''Servant of the People'' party. He led the Ukrainian delegation at peace talks with the Russians in Belarus and Türkiye in 2022, a few weeks into the war. Here’s what he says: - He confirms that Russia’s principal goal for the war wasn’t to invade the whole of Ukraine but to force Ukraine to become a neutral country that would not be part of NATO: “[Russia] really hoped almost to the last moment that they would force us to sign such an agreement so that we would take neutrality. It was the most important thing for them. They were prepared to end the war if we agreed to, – as Finland once did, – neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO. In fact, this was the key point. Everything else was simply rhetoric and political ‘seasoning’ about denazification, the Russian-speaking population and blah-blah-blah." - When asked why Ukraine did not agree to this, here’s what he says: “First, in order to agree to this point, it is necessary to change the Constitution. Our path to NATO is written in the Constitution. Secondly, there was no confidence in the Russians that they would do it. This could only be done if there were security guarantees. We could not sign something, step away, everyone would relax there, and then they would [invade] even more prepared – because they had, in fact, gone in unprepared for such a resistance. Therefore, we could only explore this route when there is absolute certainty that this will not happen again. There is no such certainty. Moreover, when we returned from Istanbul, Boris Johnson came to Kyiv and said that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just fight.” He’s actually not being very forthright about the “no confidence in the Russians so this could only be done if there were security guarantees” claim, because from the media reports at the time in early 2022, this aspect of the deal was getting concretized. It’s even still up on Ukraine’s official presidency website: The concept was that permanent members of the UN Security Council would be the guarantors of the deal, alongside Turkey, Germany, Canada, Italy, Poland and Israel. The issue seems to have been that those security guarantees were “greeted with skepticism” by “Western officials”, as highlighted in this WSJ piece from back then: So this, combined with Arakhamia’s confirmation that what really killed the deal was “Boris Johnson [coming] to Kyiv and [saying] that we would not sign anything with them at all, and let's just fight” shows that it is unequivocally the West that killed the peace deal. Which confirms the extremely damning responsibility of the West in this war because we’re at a stage, 20 months later, when not only has Ukraine lost a horrifying amount of men (likely hundreds of thousands of deaths) but they couldn’t dream of getting such favorable conditions in a peace deal that the West is NOW pressuring them to make. And I won’t even get into the responsibility of the West in triggering this conflict in the first place with the expansion of NATO and the transformation of Ukraine into a Western bulwark on Russia’s border… Will there be any reckoning? Any admission of this responsibility? Any accountability? Any change, any rethinking in order to avoid such catastrophic failures in the future? Sadly I don’t even see the first inkling of the beginning of this, especially in Europe. And this is what makes me most depressed: it shows we're institutionally set in our erroneous ways with no capability to learn, adapt and change.

President Trump just nominated Dr. Casey Means as Surgeon General! 🔥 This is a HUGE win for MAHA. Watch Dr. Means EXPOSE the corruption of our healthcare system last year: “I took zero nutrition courses in medical school.” “I learned virtually nothing at Stanford Medical School about the tens of thousands of scientific papers that elucidate the root causes of why American health is plummeting.” “I did not learn that for each additional serving of ultra-processed food we eat, early mortality increases by 18%.” “I didn’t learn that 82% of independently-funded studies show harm from processed food, while 93% of industry-sponsored studies reflect no harm.” “I didn’t learn that 95% of the people who created the recent USDA food guidelines for America had significant conflicts of interest with the food industry.” “I did not learn that one billion pounds of synthetic pesticides are being sprayed on our foods every single year.” “99% of the farmland in the United States is sprayed with synthetic pesticides … and these invisible, tasteless chemicals are strongly linked to autism, ADHD, sex hormone disruption, thyroid disease, sperm dysfunction, Alzheimer’s, dementia, birth defects, cancer, obesity, liver dysfunction, female infertility and more.” “I did not learn that the 8 billion tons of plastic that have been produced just in the last 100 years … are being broken down into microplastics that are now filling our food, our water, and we are now even inhaling them in our air, and that very recent research … tells us that now about 0.5% of our brains by weight are plastic.” “I didn’t learn that there are more than 80,000 toxins that have entered our food, water, air, and homes by industry, many of which are banned in Europe, and they are known to alter our gene expression, alter our microbiome composition and the lining of our gut, and disrupt our hormones.” “I didn’t learn that heavy metals like aluminum and lead are present in our food, our baby formula, personal care products, our soil, and many of the mandated medications like vaccines, and that these metals are neurotoxic and inflammatory.” “I didn’t learn that the average American walks a paltry 3,500 steps per day even though we know, based on science and top journals, that simply walking 7,000 steps a day slashes by 40-60% our risk of Alzheimer’s, dementia, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and obesity.” “I certainly did not learn that medical error and medications are the third-leading cause of death in the US.” “I didn’t learn that just five nights of sleep deprivation can induce full-blown pre-diabetes. I learned nothing about sleep, and we’re getting about 20% less sleep on average than we were 100 years ago.” “I didn’t learn that American children are getting less time outdoors now than a maximum security prisoner, and on average, adults spend 93% of their time indoors, even though we know from the science that separation from sunlight destroys our circadian biology, and circadian biology dictated our cellular biology.” “I didn’t learn that professional organizations that we get out practice guidelines from, like the American Diabetes Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics, have taken tens of millions of dollars from Coke, Cadbury, processed food companies and vaccine manufacturers like Moderna.” “I didn’t learn that if you address these root causes that all lead to metabolic dysfunction and help patients change their food and lifestyle patterns … we could reverse the chronic disease crisis in America, save millions of lives and trillions of dollars in healthcare costs per year.” “This is a spiritual crisis. We are choosing death over life, we are choosing darkness over light.” “We need a return to courage. We need a return to common sense and intuition. We need a return to awe for the sheer miraculousness of our lives.” “We need all hands on deck.” Casey Means, MD
