The more you learn, the less you speak.

The quickness at which they got almost all the Muslims from all corners of the Earth to all develop the same aesthetic for their digital pamphlets and whatnot (in the span of less than a year) should be concerning. And I don't even think it was intentional. Be careful #AI

Ibn Taymiyyah on Invoking the Dead: A Critical Analysis of Dr. Hatem Al-Haj’s Classification of Istighāthah In his article “Al-Istighātha (Seeking Relief) An Attempt at a Reasoned but Uncompromising Approach to a Divisive Question,” Dr. Hatem Al-Haj offers an interpretation of Ibn Taymiyyah’s position on invoking the dead that turns on a specific grammatical reading. After presenting his own view that such invocation “is either major shirk if the supplicant believes that the one called upon possesses any of the exclusive attributes of Lordship (rubūbiyyah) or Divinity (ulūhiyyah), or it is a means leading to shirk,”[1] Dr. Al-Haj claims to find this same taxonomy in Ibn Taymiyyah’s works.

@Thatnsukkaboy_ The misunderstanding is that Muslims' contention is not just that the word "Trinity" itself isn't in the Bible, but that the concept is not in the Bible, nor understood by the early Church Fathers. @MMetaphysician

The purpose of my article is not to provoke or insult Muslims, but to demonstrate—clearly and fairly—that theological development is not unique to Christianity. Islam itself contains undeniable examples of concepts that were present in substance before they were later named, systematized, and formalized. This is a historical and theological reality, not an attack. The intensity of the reactions—ranging from outrage to insults—only highlights how sensitive the subject has become. Yet the question itself was straightforward and principled. It simply asked for consistency. You yourselves affirm that the absence of a technical term does not negate the presence of a concept. You demonstrate this by appealing to Qur’anic verses, thematic repetition, and interpretive synthesis to establish Tawḥīd, even though the word itself does not appear in the Qur’an. You rightly argue that meaning can be conveyed through sentences, patterns, and doctrinal inference, not merely vocabulary. However, when the same method is applied to Christianity, the standard suddenly changes. When Christians point out that the Bible teaches: one God, the full divinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and their personal distinction within the one divine identity, the response is no longer conceptual evaluation but a demand for exact terminology. When that demand fails, the claim shifts again: now the doctrine is dismissed as a “later formulation.” And when it is shown that the doctrine is in fact drawn directly from Scripture, the claim shifts yet again—this time to the allegation that the Scriptures themselves are corrupted. This is not a consistent methodological critique; it is goalpost shifting. If theological synthesis, interpretive reasoning, and later doctrinal naming are legitimate within Islam, then they cannot suddenly become illegitimate when the same process leads to Christian conclusions. One cannot fairly argue that: conceptual derivation is valid for Islam, but invalid for Christianity; that later terminology is acceptable for Islamic theology, but evidence of corruption for Christian theology. That is not critical scholarship—it is special pleading. The challenge is simple and unavoidable: Put Islam through the same critical lens you apply to Christianity, using the same standards, and see whether your conclusions remain unchanged. If consistency is maintained, dialogue can continue honestly. If not, then the issue is not theology, but the refusal to allow equal scrutiny.

@_Abu__Tini__ @MannaMth @tahirmunir1999 Please explain why.

@MannaMth @BrotherAlexP @tahirmunir1999 The translation ‘Proclaim’ - within the context - is more accurate for this. And Allah knows best, may Allah reward you both with good and keep you firm. لا إله إلا الله وحده صدق وعده ونصر عبده وهزم الأحزاب وحده

📚A Very Clear Hadith Regarding Evil Rulers🖊️ Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri (Radi Allahu Anhu) narrated: ‘The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) gave us a sermon. Part of what he said in his sermon was: 'Beware! Soon I will be given an invitation which I’ll accept. After me, some leaders will take responsibility over you, who will act upon their speech and act only in accordance to the knowledge they have. Obeying these leaders is true obedience, and you will stay in this state for a while. Then, some leaders will be appointed over you, who will not act upon their speech, and they’ll act in accordance to that which they have no knowledge of. Whoever shows compassion towards them, becomes a minister for them or supports them will destroy themselves and others as well. O people! Stick to them with your bodies, but separate your deeds from them. Whoever amongst them (the rulers) does good, proclaim that he is a good-doer, and whoever amongst them does evil, proclaim that he is an evil-doer.’ [Al-Mu’jam Al-Awsat 6984; Sahih]

John Mearsheimer on October 7: “It’s consistent with international law for Hamas to want to break out of the concentration camp and engage with Israeli military forces in combat, which means they’re going to kill some of them. So the fact that they killed Israeli soldiers is not a case of murder. Now, there were clearly Israeli civilians who were murdered as well, but I would be willing to bet, in the final analysis, however, that Hamas did not murder many of those Israeli civilians. But be that as it may, whoever murdered those civilians committed a war crime. But I think most of the Israelis who were killed were either soldiers, who were legitimate targets, or they were civilians who were killed by the Israeli forces. I think you cannot underestimate how many Israelis were killed when all that [Israeli] firepower was brought to bear. And if you look at the pictures and you listen to what happened, it’s clear that those Apache helicopters really wreaked havoc on everything that was down on the ground, and of course that included Israeli civilians. [...] What’s also quite stunning about this whole issue is that no one talks about why there was a breakout. Nobody talks about the fact that this was a concentration camp and what was being done to the Palestinians was abhorrent. And of course there was going to be a breakout from that concentration camp at some point. [...] This is not to excuse the murder of civilians that took place at the hands of Palestinians, but the more you look in detail about what happened, the clearer it becomes that Israel bears a great deal of the responsibility for what happened that day”.

@Danjauro_ What does this mean?

نور علىٰ نورٍ

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half. I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls. I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed. I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission. I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards. I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith. I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting. O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it. Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance. Anas Jamal Al-Sharif 06.04.2025 This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

@MohamedCNoor Explain

Shaykh Muhammad Zgheer on the bottom right, met him in Makkah, and got some Ijazah from him once and also gave him an Ijazah too ( crazy concept) 😭

@MuslimMatters Iran?

If you cannot grasp that God is not a man and that nothing in His creation can compare to Him, then your intelligence serves you no real benefit. For if you claim to know everything yet do not know God, in truth, you know nothing at all.

@UncYoda How did you find this

Daniel Baker Sr. (1825 - 1888), my 4th great grandfather, after enslavement would go on to become a sharecropper. Here is his sharecropper agreement, along with the transcription.

Happy Juneteenth! On this day, I’m reminded of my enslaved ancestors Daniel, Eliza, Anthony, etc of the Chesnut-Haile plantation. Here is them listed in the plantation journal of James Chesnut. Each line denotes family units and they are the last family listed. (See ALT Text)

@CollinRugg A waste of iq. If he knows everything but doesn’t know that God is not a man, he’s not as smart as we think.

@abdullah_pocius Most of these are about the same issue (udhr bil jahl). But it seems like some of the refutations are saying different things. Sh. Arafat argued that Imam MIAW did use the udhr and Sh. Fawzan says that it doesn't apply to Shirk Akbar. Am I missing something?

-={Final Thread on Haqiqatjou} Family, I feel that during the past few months, I've shared enough evidence that this individual is a habitual liar and a shirk apologist. I don't feel that there is anything more I can say in order to convince those that are on the fence 1/7

@abdullah_pocius Is this the main thing?

@abdullah_pocius Could you explain?
