Fighting Polymath

Unpopular opinion but qurbani is not wajib on non haji people AT ALL. It is actually better to install a water cooler or plant trees as opposed to doing qurbani of an animal, leaving streets dirty and then only giving the scrap parts to ghareeb.

Yusuf Ma Dexin, a Hui Chinese Hanafi-Maturidi scholar from Yunnan, was known for his expertise in Arabic and Persian languages and profound understanding of Islam. He was also known as Ma Fuchu in Chinese. In 1841, Yusuf Ma embarked on the Hajj pilgrimage, his departure from China caused disruptions due to the First Opium War. He accompanied a contingent of Muslim merchants who traveled overland, crossing the Sipsong Panna and then a riverboat journey along the Irrawaddy River. They were allowed to embark on a vessel from Yangon, which took them to the Arabian Peninsula. After performing Hajj and visiting holy cities of Makkah and Madina, Yusuf Ma remained in the Middle East for eight years. He studied at al-Azhar University in Cairo and explored the Ottoman Empire, visiting cities like Suez, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Istanbul, Cyprus, and Rhodes. He died in 1874. © History of Hajj

The medieval Islamic Bimaristan shatters modern biopolitics. Madness was no abnormality; souls were soothed by flowing water, music & aromas. Upon discharge, patients received clothes & cash unconditionally to avoid a forced return to labor. Absolute validation of vulnerable life

Not exempted. A retired has been meeting YHD officials between "the Bosporus and London" since last year. They are all of one mind and one heart. Accursed people.

"It's not society's job to get you employment or a wife" But it kind of is? If a man is not allowed to participate in a social enterprise, given no access to the fruits of its economy or its women, then he's not a member of it and does not have any obligations to it

A Holy Quran and chappals were found near the body of Binte Hawa from Rafiabad in Budgam after the horrific incident of rape and murder.

India is scorching hot yet the AC penetration rate is less than 5% in India due to abject poverty and regular blackouts. So Indians all sleep on the rooftops of their slums in summer. India is literally hell on earth.

The Mongol destruction of Baghdad in 1258 is overrated as a turning point, the real civilizational collapse happened 200 years earlier and was self-inflicted. Everyone has the 1258 story. Hulagu Khan, the Tigris running black with ink, the end of the Abbasid Caliphate. It’s the perfect tragedy; external, dramatic, blame clearly assignable. Muslims reach for it instinctively when explaining decline. But look at what was already gone before the Mongols arrived. Al-Ghazali died in 1111. His Tahāfut al-Falāsifa, whatever its genuine theological merits functionally delegitimized rational philosophy as a pursuit worthy of serious Muslim intellectual energy. Not immediately, not totally, but the trajectory it set was real. By the time the Mongols came, the institutional appetite for speculative rational inquiry had already been declining for over a century. The great translation movement, the engine of the Golden Age had essentially exhausted itself by the 11th century. The bayt al-hikma model was already fading. The madrasa system that replaced it was explicitly designed around naql over ’aql, transmission over generation. Ibn Rushd, the greatest philosophical mind the Islamic world produced, died in 1198 ignored in the East, his works preserved and debated by European scholastics who built their entire university tradition partly on him. He was more alive in Paris than in Cairo. So when the Mongols burned Baghdad they were largely burning a library of a civilization that had already stopped writing the books. The deeper wound is that Defeat is recoverable. The Mongols themselves became Muslim within two generations. But a civilization that loses the will to think, that decides curiosity itself is dangerous.. that is a different kind of collapse entirely. External conquest you can survive. You’ve seen it in Islamic history repeatedly; Crusades, Mongols, colonialism, communities rebuilt. What you cannot easily survive is when the internal legitimacy of inquiry gets revoked by your own scholars in the name of protecting the tradition. That’s the move that actually broke something. And it was made from the inside.
