Cosmic Administration - Prayer as the Believer's Ascension

 Question:

In your column, one frequently reads concerning the cosmic administrative apparatus. What is the comprehensive Islamic and scientific exposition of the Preserved Tablet (Lawḥ al-Maḥfūẓ), the Manifest Book (Kitāb al-Mubīn), and populated planetary systems? How can human consciousness awaken its esoteric faculties to perceive civilizations across other worlds?

Answer:

Empirically, every functioning system requires precise organizational parameters and administrative laws. Allah declares in the Holy Quran that the entirety of creation was fashioned in exact measure, none overstepping its assigned boundary. Within the cosmos, Allah established two interrelated hierarchies: the System of Guidance (Rushd-o-Hidāyat) and the System of Cosmic Administration (Takwīn), governed by appointed spiritual vicegerents under the supreme authority of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)—a functional duality expounded in the Quranic narrative of Moses and the Servant of God (Khidr).

The most efficacious method to awaken transcendental faculties resides in establishing ritual prayer (Ṣalāh) correctly. When prayer is offered with profound presence, hidden dimensions of the cosmos unveil themselves before inner perception; this is the experiential reality designated by the Prophet as: "Prayer is the Ascension of the Believer." Contemplating the liturgical postures reveals that prayer is the supreme vehicle for cultivating single-minded concentration (concentration). Because it centers consciousness entirely upon the Divine, prayer is inherently the highest form of meditation (Murāqabah).

Anabolic Steroid-Induced Virilization and Vocal Dysphonia

 

 Question:

Following debilitating fever and weight loss last year, a physician prescribed Orabolin 2mg (an anabolic steroid) to be taken thrice daily for ten months. After three and a half months of continuous use, my voice deepened noticeably. The practitioner attributed it to seasonal pharyngeal irritation. After four months, I consulted another physician who ordered the drug stopped immediately, explaining it was a masculine hormone preparation that had thickened my vocal cords. Although he assured me my voice would normalize within six months, a full year has passed without recovery. Strangers recoil upon hearing my speech, remarking mockingly upon my masculine voice. Impart a remedy to reverse this drug-induced alteration.

Answer:

Procure pure pumpkin seed oil (Rōghan-e-Kadū) and lettuce seed oil (Rōghan-e-Kāhū), blend them, and massage the preparation thoroughly over the cranial crown daily. In addition, place one tablespoon of dried sweet violet leaves (Banafshah) into boiling water and steep it like tea. Drink one cup sweetened with unrefined raw sugar morning and evening. Inform me of your vocal progress after twenty-one days.
