I saw this on TheMureeds.com via Yursil’s blog. Interesting and familiar story. I know a few other brothers and sisters that had similar experiences. Oh yeah, to all my wasabi brothers and sisters, please relax and don’t comment without reading the article and realize that we’re not making fun of you or hating on you. So just read it and relax. 
EDIT: Updated 3/6/07. After reading Umm Layth’s request, I have changed the title of this post.
New and Broken
Bismillaah
as-Salaamu `alaykum
As the title says, I am indeed very new to ‘traditionalism’ and ‘tasawwuf’. It has been weird learning more about this and having to go against my previous beliefs as a ’salafi’ but it was something I needed.
I remember as a salafi, I was constantly trying to find books that I could read to bring life to my heart. Of course, sometimes when I asked sisters for naseeha about books that could bring some insight into the problems of my heart, they would say, “Just pick up the Qur’aan!†Of course right?
I mean the Qur’aan (translation in english) touched me from day one of picking it up (I did accept Islaam because of how it hit me, subhaanallaah), but I needed a book that focused only on the problems of the hearts. Some words that could help me become closer to the Qur’aan because that was my problem… not knowing what was stopping me from becoming closer to my Rabb.
I don’t know much arabic and immediately when I sought advice and said that I couldn’t understand the Qur’aan, they would utter, “Learn it then!†and of course right? I was trying to learn. In fact, I have taken so many arabic classes since accepting Islaam but I found myself giving up after some time. So I needed to find out why I was procrastinating so much and how to fight it.
So immediately they would recommend me books by like Ibnul Qayyim (rahimahullaah) and what not. And I must say, we have those books in our library but they’ve never interested me.
Why not? Well, it’s like learning about ihsaan in such a dry way. (At this point, some of those salafi friends of mine would say it is my own fault it was dry… and maybe they are right…partially.) It was dry because it felt like learning categories and memorizing words. I never felt the true impact of them on my heart. I never felt the author was speaking to me through these ‘tazkiyyah’ books. In fact, I felt even more depressed after reading them. I didn’t even see the ‘great’ impact these books had on those who recommended them to me.
I took one semester with an online Institute here in America (salafi ran) and I spiritually felt so dry. I must say though, their focus on the heart was better than many other places I have learned from (salafi ones obviously). We were constantly reminded to make du`aa’, to learn adhkhaar, to pick up the Qur’aan more often and so on. It was nice, but our focus on akhlaaq was nothing in comparison to everything else.
We weren’t even expected to memorize ayaat in Arabic, though it was ‘preferred’. We were learning deep sciences every day, so fast and yet our hearts were having a hard time catching up with it.
Does that make sense? Well, imagine students thinking they really can act like students of knowledge after a few weeks of learning. Imagine students thinking that after 3 years, they will be `ulemah. What kind of effort was it having on the heart if this was happening?
See, I always knew that learning should make you feel more ignorant. The knowledge of Islaam is like a deep ocean. It is so vast. The more you learn, the more you realize you don’t know much but this wasn’t the effect it was having on me and other students. Yes, it was our own fault but what did everyone expect? We were students and we needed to be guided by those above us, properly. I mean we were learning about zakaah and hajj in 45 minute sessions for only a few days (4 or 5) and then we were done and expected to take a test on it? We were expected to look at ahadeeth and decide if they were weak or not and yet we didn’t even know arabic. I am not saying speaking but just the basics. Some of the students didn’t even know their alphabet properly, but still we were expected to do it.
So this led me to what I am about to share next.
I had been on paltalk one day and decided to go into a room called “the truth unveiled†ran by Shaykh Mohammed Hussein Adam. He is a deobandi scholar from Africa, who runs our Q & A on SeekingIlm. I hadn’t really a clue what the room was upon until some of my online salafi buddies came in the room and warned me to get out. I asked, “Why?†I mean he was only speaking about `Aqeedah? Well, duh!
I remember some of their accusations against the Shaykh, such as him being a grave worshipper. (May Allaah protect him & his family, aameen). It is quite funny because I remember learning that the deobandis are considered ‘wahhabi influenced’ by many sufis.
I remember that day that I entered the room, it was a day of rebellion. Rebellion against whom? Against people, including myself. I don’t know what led to that. Maybe it was Allaah trying to show me what I needed? Well, it totally feels like that now because that is where it really all started. That is where I started to really learn what the differences between ’salafis’ and ’sufis’ were. That is where the doors to confusion first opened but a confusion that I am grateful for now. It reminded me of the same confusion I experienced when I came accross Islaam. It was a confusion that made me question my beliefs and look further beyond what I was raised with.
It’s been a long road since then. I went through the phase of questioning and being open-minded and back to being afraid of being ‘wrong’ (or maybe more of what people would say) and then finally back to being open-minded. It is where I am now. I am no sufi. Gosh, I wish I was. I am no mureed, but just a wannabe.
I am at the stage now where I am trying to repair my soul. All of the debates that I decided to involve myself with since this started, have added to the staining of my heart. I wasn’t ready for all of this stuff. I wasn’t ready to try to take on something that I wasn’t at a level to take on. It has crushed me and it has been very hard to start fresh and try to find a way to be balanced. Balanced because I feel now that I was very (and still am) extreme.
It was very easy to make takfeer of Muslims and to constantly criticize everyone around me. It’s weird because I remember a quote that my mother in law (may Allaah open her heart to Islaam, aameen) has on her fridge. It is a cut-out from a magazine and the quote is by Mother Theresa… it states, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.†When I was Salafi, I laughed at that quote and thought, “It’s the christian in them and something sufis would say†but as I look back now, I feel ashamed of myself. Ashamed because it is the truth.
Yes, Islaam teaches us to judge but it teaches us to look at ourselves before we look at others. It teaches us balance and teaches us that we all make mistakes and fall into sin, but need reminders and this is why I feel broken now. I am having a hard time finding that balance and sometimes it feels ‘wrong’ because it’s hard to accept you were wrong, but you have to accept it in order to progress in your eeman. It’s been hard because I am at the lowest point I’ve been since accepting Islaam, in my eeman.
This led me to try and take a class with SunniPath called, A journey to Allaah… and before registration closes, I recommend anyone of you that needs spiritual upliftment to take it. It’s been helpful thus far… and though I need to start acting on it, I have realized that accepting you are at rock bottom, is accepting your shortcomings. I am no one to be looked up to but I need someone to look up to right now.
My husband shared a story with me the other day of a Tablighi brother, who after years finally left the group and his reasoning was that he was in need of da`wah. It truly touched me because I feel I am in need of it too. I don’t need to be going around acting like I am okay, when in reality I am dying.
May Allaah forgive us and make us steadfast, aameen

Umm Layth’s Response (3/6/07)
Bismillaah
I didn’t know my post would get so much attention. Honestly, all I wanted was to vent. I felt the need to post at 3 a.m that morning because so many thoughts ran through my head at that time. I could have just written it in my small journal that I carry around but instead I decided to post it on my blog. I knew some would read it. I also posted it on themureeds website but I only posted it there because I wanted something worth writing as my first post… and yeah I feel that my post was worth writing.
Now that I read comments, emails and other people’s blogs I feel kind of strange. Strange because I didn’t want it to turn into a whole salafi vs sufi thing. I didn’t even want to have to defend my reasons. I don’t feel I should. But now I feel like I have to but still I won’t.
The only thing that I am dissapointed about really is that my post ended up on a blog with the title, from salafi to sufi. Why? Well… firstly, I didn’t title it such. Secondly, it makes my words seem lame.
My post wasn’t about 2 groups. My post was about the state my heart and issues that have affected it. If I had wanted to make it an issue of 2 groups, I would have. However, I didn’t. I really don’t care about salafis nor sufis. They are a bunch of individuals who are trying to cling to a methodology but who aren’t free from mistakes. I have a lot of issues with many salafis and sufis who claim to be upon a manhaj, but yet their attitudes show otherwise. Why would I care about groups of people who are probably in the same state as me, if not worse?
It is for that reason that I request the brother who posted it on his blog, with that title, to remove it, for the sake of Allaah. I have read the comments and many of them are just pathetic comments by people who need to grow up. I don’t want to be part of a silly game.
Also, to those people that emailed me for naseeha… I apologize but my post was pretty clear. I am the one in need of da`wah and because of that, I am not the right person to come to for naseeha in these matters. If you need some naseeha for your own heart, remove yourself from those people that are harming your deen and then go to a scholar to help you.
Remember that the goal of tasawwuf is:
complete submission to the shariah and sunnah in order to attain purification of the heart and soul and to develop a true, deep, and lasting connection with Allah .
May Allaah forgive me and all of you, aameen

It’s weird how I came across this. I saw it on our main site’s incoming links. I don’t know how it showed there but maybe it is because I linked to SI on the post.
I just wanted to mention that I am not for the games that some people play of ‘Look at the new ex- so and so’. I personally feel that there are problems within each group. Islaam is one but our interpretations are not flawless, as we are human beings.
I simply wanted to make it clear what I was upon before and what I am aiming to be upon now. That isn’t to say though that I agree with everything sufis say. In fact, I have a lot of issues with many sufi claimants, the same way that I had issues with many salafi claimants in the past.
May Allaah guide us all, aameen
Sufis come in all different types.
Journey to Allah is an AMAZING class masha’Allah.
May Allah reward and preserve our scholars. May He raise them in ranks, especially Habib Ali and Shaykh Abdul Karim and may He keep us all in His care and firm upon His deen insha’Allah.
Salafi, Wahabi, Shia, Sunni… Who’s right and who’s wrong? Who’s going to hell and who is going to heaven?
I know the answer: Allahu A’lam
Allaah does know best but one thing we do know is that as long as we do not nullify our shahadah with greater disbelief, we have hope.
All you need to do is protect your tawheed to the best of your ability and work on your deeds as best as possible. Even though sinning may land us in hell if we aren’t forgiven, that certain belief in la ilaha illa Allaah is what will get us out.
I hate it when Sufis try to convert Salafis to Sufis. Or, vice versa.
funny…it is 2:54 am now!! any idea, MR?
actually the best option is just to become the best muslim ever. The best muslim with akhlaaq, with ibadah, with ikhlaas and no matter what you are of the labels, Allaah will love you in shaa Allaah and people will love you.
That is the solution.
And Amir, you are growing up and engaged, why you insist in this petty behavior of “us vs them”
I know you have come across idiots in the past, doesnt mean you have to respond to them.
Just think about it.
BismillahiRahmanirRaheem
as-salamu’alaikum,
I don’t think of this as a ‘conversion story’ and I think its belitting the writer to take it in that way.
This is a story of someone coming to terms with character traits and abandoning things for the pure sake of ideology. People don’t come to Tassawuf (or at least develop a love for it) because of ideological viewpoints or shifts, it is simply something they grow into.
In coming to terms with cleansing ones heart, one doesn’t leave salafisim or any other ideology.. one begins to leave a worldview dominated by the nafs. That is immensely more harder to manage.
wa `alaykum as-Salaam
Jazaaka Allaahu khairan brother Yursil. It isn’t a conversion story at all. It’s like you said, just trying to manage my heart.
I do admit, there are many other things that have led me to my changes. As you said on your blog, not every person’s story is ever really complete. Some of those things are `aqeedah related for sure but that is between me and my Rabb.
Here is a good read that my husband just uploaded for anyone that feels they need to read it:
http://seekingilm.com/archives/36#more-36
Excerpt from Faysal At-Tafriqah: Topic “Takfirâ€
What I really wanna know is how to get to sesame street.
MR, why the title of ‘from Salafi to Sufi’? A bit sectarian, no?
Interesting story… and I totally get what you mean – I read a lot, but for sure we need waaay more than reading for an Imaan boost. When you really need something to lift your spirits, reading simply doesn’t do it.
However, I don’t think that finding/using a new ‘technique’ by which to achieve more Imaan and taqwah doesn’t really constitute a stop to being ‘Salafi’ and turning into a ‘Sufi’.
There’s no need to exchange labels…
Just so long as we’re Muslim, of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah, that should be good enough for us, right?
Anyway, I’m happy for you, Umm Layth, that you found a way to quench the thirst of your heart!
I like how Salafis don’t like it when people refer to them as Salafis, but they have no qualms of referring to Traditionalists as “sufis”.
Friendship is a two-way street.
Please read. I’m not bashing anyone. I’m just saying it like it is. What I don’t understand why ya’ll got front on me just becuase of a label. If your salafi, be proud ur salafi, its not a negative thing. It’s good to be salafi man. If your sufi, be proud ur sufi. It’s a good thing to be sufi.
Don’t let other people scare you. If your intimated by my title of this story, then you definetly aren’t sure what you are.
Im not here to promote sufism or to bash salfism. Again, read what i said, i’m just saying it like it is. I’ve known Umm Layth for about 2 years now, since Muslim Creed forums, then Reviving Islam forums, and now Seeking Ilm, and if you guys knew what those preivous forums (Muslim Creed or Reviving Islam) were about then you’d wont be beefin with the title.
and who gives a damn if a person switched from salafi to sufi or sufi to salafi. if u like what u are and feel that ur doing what is right then fine, do you.
this is my blog and i have the right to make the title how i see it fit. and EVERYONE knows, i’m a straight up person.
Alhamdulillah, I’m grown up, cuz if I wasn’t I’d probably be like, “ok ok I’m sorry, let me change the name or remove the post” like a little boy.
Ima say this again, if you think the label ‘salafi’ is negative, then you definetly check your aqeedah, cuz ur not firm in what you believe in.
Thank you! Fo real man. I’m sick of that. If you wanan call me Sufi. GO ahead. If you wanna call me traditional, go ahead. Yeah I am that.
If i call you salafi. Accept it like a man (or a woman).
We’re all Muslims. There is no way we are going to get around these labels, becuase we all use it. Might as well adopt it and work together.
Okay, immature MR is coming in here…
So if your salafi and u know it clap your hands….oh wait thats bidda3….salafimix…
if your salafi and know it holla biddaa333
PS – I wish I was sufi.
PPS – I am not in a sufi tariqa.
yeaaaa rrrrryder… keep it real
Ukhti, it isn’t an issue of reading. It’s an issue of finding out what is stopping someone from advancing and becoming a better person. It’s about finding a book, a person etc… that can show you how to go from being a selfish human to being altruistic.
The thing is many people do not comprehend fully that if the heart is right, everything else will be right as well. Sometimes the problems go unnoticed but the effects of those diseases can bring about a huge impact on one.
Something that has makes me want to follow a Tariqah (which I did not mention in my little vent) is the fact that they tackle these problems and don’t ignore them. If you are lacking in this obligatory deed, you find a way to fix it. It isn’t about “just make du`aa’ brother” or “open the Qur’aan”… it’s about making life changes that will help you turn yourself completely around.
Again, I don’t believe the truth is with one group. I believe they each have their mistakes and for that reason I am not going to go around calling myself by a made up label. I just want to be a Muslimah, who does turn to the path of tasawwuf, but which honestly I prefer to call Ihsan. I want to be a mu’minah and insha’Allaah one day a muhsinah.
Honestly, during my ‘salafi’ days, I never understood this hadeeth fully. It took me to sit around Shaykh Mohammed to truly comprehend it. Why? Because the emphasis that ‘sufis’ whether they call themselves such or not, truly look into the deepness of that hadeeth.
That’s all I want and I am glad I want it. Eeman will go up and down and that’s normal but hitting rock bottom isn’t something normal. You either get out of it or you don’t.
May Allaah guide us and protect us from losing the urge to turn to Him, aameen!
Mistake:
“Because the emphasis that ‘sufis’ whether they call themselves such or not, put on the levels of Iman is greater, for they truly look into the deepness of that hadeeth.”
And just to add…
We go to fuqahaa for fiqh questions, to a muhadith for hadeeth questions, to a doctor for our health… it’s about time that muslims realize that our hearts are sciences in and of themselves as well.
Sister Umm Layth, I was not criticizing your decision or your post. I am happy that you have found the right path for YOURSELF.
I am hinting that MR’s title “From Salafi to Sufi” is not as not innocent as he wants to make it sound. It’s like the game ‘ I’m not touching you’ which children like to play.
I am a Salafi and I’m proud of it.
This is what I’m talking about! Zaki you are the man! See, me and Zaki don’t hold the same views on Fiqh or Aqeedah, but we play ball together, we watch movies together, we’re both football (Soccer) fanatics. we both love arab women, we both make dua that shakira converts to islam, we both eat together and we’re very good friends, alhamdulillah.
i dont care if he’s salafi, and he doesnt care if im pro-sufi or traditional.
it’s all about ronaldinho and fifa world cup 2010
i love u zakii!
I never really thought you were. I was responding to someone else.
lol i loved how you tagged me in this post. Its funny because I also felt a stain on my heart for getting involved in these debates. However, Alhamdillulah I have stopped and realized it is not necessary, this is an issue for the scholars. I dont think being Salafi was the problem rather it was engaging in debates when there was no knowledge or acting arrogantly and taking part in takfir.
meh as for Salafi, I prefer the term Ah lul Hadith better. As for you Mujahideen Ryder you are just used as a marketing tool for Sufi’s. As for my Sufi brothers, I love them all for the sake of Allah (SWT). But there are somethings in Sufism that are kept intentionally secret that you wont find about until later on and that is something I dont agree with. May Allah (SWT) guide us all.
Amir – I want to see if you can go a month without using the terms sufi/salafi/wahabi/wasabi.
THE SUFIS ARE COMING! SAVE YOUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN!
Can you do it?
Lets do it – for one month (all of March, 2007) lets not mention Sufi/Salafi on our blogs
u up for it amir? lol
haha ok i am down. March Madness
As-salaamu ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatu,
*Shrugs*
Well, call yourself whatever you want, I guess… and give your blog posts whatever you want, too…
I don’t have an issue of being ‘Salafi’ or not because I don’t think I really fit into the ‘Salafi’ category – as I said above, I’m just happy with being a Muslim and part of Ahlus-Sunnah. Al-Hamdulillaah! (Heh, this reminds me of Umar Lee’s series on the Salafi Da’wah…)
“Something that makes me want to follow a Tariqah is the fact that they tackle these problems and don’t ignore them.”
Y’know, that actually reminds me of my friends! We’re a close, tight-knit group… if any of us is having a problem (with anything, not just issues with Islam or Imaan or whatever) we try to help each other by finding ways to deal with it…
Anyway, I pray all the best for you, insha’Allah!
May Allah grant us all true Islam, Imaan, and Ihsaan; and may He make us all successful in this world and in the Hereafter, ameen!
“So if your salafi and u know it clap your hands….oh wait thats bidda3….salafimix…
if your salafi and know it holla biddaa333″
“we both love arab women, we both make dua that shakira converts to islam”
hahahahah
hey MR, u love arab women! now, can you gimme ur fiancee email add pls, I really need to discuss things with her
salaam their is no need to be throwing out labels….the ummah is already being plauged with this terrible sectraian crap…our brothers and sisters r suffering and we r still caught up with being a sufi or salafi….cmon ppl it doenst matter if ur a sufi or a salafi if u r ignorant about the things going on in the world….then being sufi or salafi doesnt help….we need to be muslims
Man, I’d knock you out if you said that to my face. Your a stranger. But I will be nice. My future wife, inshaAllah, is Arab, and she knows that. That’s one of the reasons why Allah guided me to an Arab sister in Islam. Alhamdulillah!
MR, I love you bro. What you said is very true. I really don’t care if my friends are Sufi/Salafi or anything else. At the same time, our friendship should be used as an example of how we can strengthen the fragile (sufi vs.salafi) relationship rather than making it worse.
Assalaamo’alaykum ya shabab
It is very interesting to see how people are struggling to understand what is Haq and what is not. SubhanAllah, RasoolAllah (saws) has not left us in darkness. This deen has been completed without the need of anything new being introduced into it. Everything that is Bid’a is disliked by Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala. So we should definitely stay away from it. There is no doubt that there are messed up sufis today who go beyond the limits of Shari’a , satisfying themselves with the bid’a that they are in. But, I know of sufis who are more closer to the Shari’a and to the sunnah than most of the salafis, SubhanAllah. In fact if you are a true Muslim, you have to work on your nafs and try to purify yourself from shirk, kibr, lust, hate, envy, etc. That is Tasawwuf and the people who follow it are called sufis.
“In fact if you are a true Muslim, you have to work on your nafs and try to purify yourself from shirk, kibr, lust, hate, envy, etc. That is Tasawwuf and the people who follow it are called sufis. ”
I’d word that a little differently… like this actually …In fact if you are a true Muslim, you have to work on your nafs and try to purify yourself from shirk, kibr, lust, hate, envy, etc. That is ISLAM and the people who follow it are called MUSLIMS.
i think every Muslim’s goal is to be obediant to Allah(swt) and Rusool(Saw). These differences are just creating fitnah. We are allowed to have differences but at the end we should unite at one forefront and that is to protect our imans from Satan. I think Muslims have a lot more to worry about then if so and so is sufi or salafi… Why don’t we focus on figuring out how to help those Muslims who don’t even know how to pray or How we can help out Muslim brothers and sisters all over the world… or something totally random- figuring how we can stop global warming!! Instead we go on with useless bickering and just making Shaitan’s job a whole lot easier.
Subhnallaah you can hide from da people but not Allaah
It is obligatory upon me to listen to my mother. She told me to delete a few comments on here, because she was offended by them, since they were personal attacks on me.
I personally didn’t care, I’d rather show the world how stupid some people are. They act all tough online, but they wouldn’t say it to my face.
But yeah, my mom is also a moderator on this site.
Have a nice day.
as-salamu’alaikum,
That is so true for so many people.
mashallah, your mother and you make a great team… props to you, auntie for keeping up with MR!
Subhan Allah, this is silly. I’m not Salafi, nor am I a sufi, but one thing I have to mention is how whenever I see an effort by Sufis to ‘unite’, they always end up just bashing Salafis in a hidden way. I think you’d be aggregiously ignorant if you said Salafis aren’t concerned with tazkiyyah, and I’m really sad that Umm Layth had to seek naseeha from such people who really didn’t know what they were talking about.
I guess I’m trying to say two things.
1.If you’re really concerned about unity, stop labeling and being sarcastic, because it hints at the authenticity of your intentions.
2.Salafis are concerned with tazkiyyah just as much as Sufis are concerned with following the sunnah. One group may emphasize it more than the other, but they are both extremely important to each, respectively.
You would rather they say it to you face?? you want to make a fight now!! ya Allaah!
No actually, they won’t say it my face, that was my point.
They hide behind the there anonymous names and fake email address and write whatever they feel like. Mocking my family. hahaha.
It’s a last resort when they have no other ways of attacking me.
But iz all good, i’d leave the comment, but my mom was upset and so the comments were gone.
I don’t know if those were addressed to me or not, but I’ll reply.
1. Unity amongst the Muslims is like establishing an Islamic state: practically impossible. I’d rather call for tolerance and acceptance within the Muslim ummah. My personal belief, as I have said before, is that this ummah will not have unity until the Mahdi comes and when ‘Isa aliyhisalam returns.
2. I agree with you.
get over this dumb, ridiculous, mind numbing, round the clock issue…seriously arent there other things going on in the world to write about on ur blog than a person who came to a conclusion concerning her personal beliefs?? BECASUE THATS WHAT THEY ARE…beliefs…lets talk about da’wah or about how we can unite this ummah…ugh ur blog is becoming more dividing by the minute…wa’Allahu Alam.
this isn’t the only post on my blog…but apparently it’s the only one that attracts you to comment, but then again, ur hiding behind the anonymous name.
Title of the post has changed due to Umm Layth’s request.
May Allah (swt) forgive me.
That’s my email
From what I understand the author was looking for some spiritual nourishment for the heart? And was told to pick up the Quran. Where better to go than the Quran. There have been so many times where I felt so lost, and empty inside, times when I even used to question Allah. And I found that there is no better cure than the Quran, its stories, its guidance. Nothing has ever brought a calmness to my heart as it has. What more can we possibly ask for? What else is there after the Quran and the Sunnah of our beloved Rasul(saw) that can uplift our Iman?
its not tthe only post but its the a subject u obviously feel the need to speak about repeatedly…whyy??? Allah knows…
i couldnt agree with you more!
quran and sunnah =]]
Count all the Salafi posts and then count all the non-salafi posts. and then come back to me.
LOL out of 299 posts, i found only 10 posts relating to salafi-sufi stuff. that’s about 4%
apparently, your only attracted to those
hahaha. im sorry you only like to read about salafi-sufi stuff, maybe you should browse my archives, inshaAllah.
It’s more than spiritual nourishment and anyone who has been there, understands that it is more than that.
As for the Qur’aan and Sunnah being enough, of course. I agree and would never disagree. However, when we pick up the Qur’aan and so on we need mentors and people who will guide us to better understand it and to implement it better in our lives, without being extreme but balanced.
Btw, Jazaaka Allaahu khairan for changing the title. May Allaah forgive us all
