On Wednesday, May 22, the 44-year-old comedian gave Terri Seymour of Extra an update on her journey. Haddish reflected on her November arrest for suspected DUI and said she hasn't touched drugs or alcohol since.

"I'm not drinking any alcohol. Never gonna do that again," she stated, but added one humorous exception. "Unless I get engaged. Then I just want him to see how crazy I am just for one day."

Haddish said she's been having fun living a life free of alcohol, adding, "It feels good to wake up without burning knees, aching elbows, or inflamed ankles."

Haddish said, "I want to be in a good place," in response to Seymour's observation that she hoped to see him in a positive environment. I also want to see myself in a positive state."

The Los Angeles District Attorney's office reports that Haddish pled not guilty in February to charges of reckless driving resulting from her arrest in November of last year in Los Angeles. The two misdemeanor charges were thus dropped.

During an interview about her memoir, "I Curse You with Joy," Haddish reiterated her commitment to sobriety. "I’m very sober," she affirmed. "I haven’t had a drink since [the incident]. When I reflect on my life, every crazy thing that’s happened involved alcohol, whether it was someone else or myself."

She encouraged others to try a sober lifestyle. "This is my challenge to people: stop drinking for six months and see how your life changes. You’ll get your body back, your relationships will improve, and you’ll stop dealing with people who aren’t good for you. I used to wake up next to ugly men," she joked.

Haddish also mentioned that she has been celibate, crediting both changes and "eliminating a lot of people" for her newfound joy. "I’m happy," she said. "I’m genuinely happy."

The Quran - Chapter An-Najm : 11 - 12

The ˹Prophet’s˺ heart did not doubt what he saw.

How can you ˹O pagans˺ then dispute with him regarding what he saw?

مَا كَذَبَ الْفُؤَادُ مَا رَ‌أَىٰ (The heart did not err in what he saw....53:11) Fu'ad means heart, and the verse means whatever the eyes saw, the heart did not err in its grasping.

This erring in the verse is described as kidhb [ lying ]. In other words, the heart did not lie in connection with the perceived objects.

It did not err or slip up. In the phrase mara'a 'what he saw', the Qur'an does not specify what it saw.

The blessed Companions ؓ and their followers, and the leading authorities on Tafsir hold two divergent views as was discussed in detail earlier:

[ 1] The phrase means it [ the Holy Prophet's ﷺ heart ] saw Allah (and this is the view of Ibn ` Abbas ؓ ; and

[ 2] others (like Sayyidah ` A'ishah, Ibn Masud, Abu Hurairah and Abu Dharr Ghifari ؓ express the view that the Holy Prophet ﷺ saw Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) in his original shape.

The Arabic verb ra'a originally means to see with physical eyes, and after having seen with physical eyes the heart grasps and comprehends.

Thus the Holy Prophet ﷺ first saw Jibra'il (علیہ السلام) with his physical eyes, and then grasped and comprehended him with his heart.

Therefore, there is no need to take the word ru'yah in the figurative or metaphorical sense of ru'yah qalbiyah [ to see with the heart ] as did Al-Qurtubi.
