If you want an understanding of Israeli actions and behaviour that we have wittnessed since October 7 and even before that, read my article on that: rafaelb993.substack.com/p/understandin…

@safwanSpiker7 Could you elaborate how Ibn Arabis view is different? Subki wrote a book refuting ibn taymiyyas arguments & misinterpretations of ayat & ahadith. Does this then also apply to Ibn Arabi? Many scholars mentioned an ijma' on the eternity of Hellfire.

@BheriaMS Kant was the first & worst sabotage. He wanted "Platz für Glauben machen" make place for faith. But he just delegitimized metaphysics, by delegating it to some vague inaccessible & even unknowable realm, with a solely social & moral role

@safwanSpiker7 In the sense u explained it in the thread i.e. we are essences in His uncreated primordial knowledge. Wouldn't it be hence permissible to call kuffar or other creations of najas (swines, dogs) Al-Haqq, too, cuz they have their essences, too?

@TheAnalyst39938 in what sense?

The statements of awliyā where they imply to be both identical to and distinct from God or say “Glory be to me”, etc, do not actually violate PNC nor do they go against the fact that we are distinct, because for a contradiction to be actualized between two propositions, they 🧵

@safwanSpiker7 Ibn Arabi has a detailed book on distinguishing genuine kashf & marifa from self delusions: Kitab al-Nasaih By reading it, one can tell how meticolous the Awliya were, as opposed to secularist narratives, that frame spir. experiences as irrational & passionate hallucinations

Mullā Jāmi ق’s refutation of perennialist and anti-realist misconceptions about tasāwwuf and spirituality🧵 He mentions many important terms and conditions for sound dreams, kashf and marifah from God, in relation to both the body and nafs. If I have to summarize them, they are:

@movetomuscat @HarounKanj I dissgree whtih Saeeds harsh stance on Ibn Arabi, too. But where do these claims come from that he is a self taught engineer?

Dear Shaykh Haroun. Sh. Hasan does not consider himself a shaykh, although he is qualified to be one as in he has studied the Ottoman Nizami manhaj with ulema and has high ilmi asanid in them. He can also teach some of the higher books. This technically makes him a shaykh. But he would rather call himself a philosopher out of taqwa (also taking a jab at kuffar thinkers as in “you think you know philosophy ?”) and he has every right to do so. Sh. Saeed, Allah preserve him, on the other hand considers himself a shaykh even though technically he has not studied those high darsi books with mashaykh and hence has no sanad in them. He has been bestowed honorary mashyakha by some mashaykh and that is fine but technically he is a self learned man. That is simply a description of reality. I don’t make the rules. Is he more qualified than some people with asanid? Definitely. But once you open the door of self learning without asanid then you open a can of worm, and a dangerous precedence. The ramifications of that I am sure a learned man like yourself understands. Our tradition is based on asanid. Sh. Saeed has been undoubtedly a great cause of khayr against Salafi Takfiris and has had amazing tawfiq in revival of Ashari aqaid. May Allah reward him for that. But he has also (unnecessarily i would say) opened doors of fitna among the Ahlul Sunna by talking down on Ibn Arabi and his school. I am a witness to many majalis where he was advised by ulema to refrain from delving into unwarranted critique and takfir of Ibn Arabi. But he refused. So any criticism of him in that regard should not be taken as a shade on his entire resume. I personally don’t wear my manhaj on my sleeve since my job here is not that, but being a semi Ashari and semi Akbari (yes that is possible), I respect Sh. Saeed more than Sh. Ali Jum’a who is one of the big a’laam of the Akbaris in our time but I consider him nonetheless a tool of the tawaghit. He has betrayed the ummah and there is no way his Akbari mashrab will make me respect him. While Sh. Saeed has been kicked out of Jordan for being critical of regional leadership as lacking Islamic mandate. Respect where respect is due. But also let’s not get carried away with what he has come to represent: self learning and taking pride in that. And not taking the books with asanid even when he was offered that because he felt he knew more than the teachers. Of course I disagree with any one using uncharitable words for him. But it is simply a taste of his own medicine since he also calls some respectable alive and dead ulema “majnoon”, “jahil” etc. I have heard that in private gatherings. This might be my only comment on this matter, ever.

There's a pattern of Akbarians claiming the high ground of Ma'rifa and Akhlaq while simultaneously attempting to belittle Muslims into silence. This is not the first time this individual carries himself in this manner. BTW, Shaykh Said is just being consistent with the-

@D1mashqi Hamza yusuf once mentioned, that he wondered why everyone wrote books on tajwid, considering its always the same content & there is enough of these books anyway Then he understood...

Imagine the Sadaqah Jariyah scholars like Ibn al-Jazari, al-Shatibi, or Zakariyya al-Ansari are getting, being central figures in almost every single Sanad of the Quran Every single person in history who read and will read the Quran after them is giving them good deeds

@RealHasanSpiker Shaykh, please, don't get into the looksmaxxing insanity, not even ironically

👌🏻

"[Foucault] retains the Kantian faith in freedom & continues his meaningless struggles against domination while recognizing the inevitability of the dominance of capitalist structures of power." Javed Akbar Ansari, "Rejecting Freedom & Progress: Islamic Case Against Capitalism"

@safwanSpiker7 Salam, dif. topic, but I would like to ask: what is the Akbarian position on this theological question: is God following wisdom in His decisions, or are His decisions wise, because He made them? If the 1st, where is that wisdom coming from?

@iran0pessimist Replace the word zionist simply with jew. Otherwise you are completely right

The Amerigolem gives their sons and daughters to fight and die for wars dictated by Israel, scrapes by on credit cards controlled by Zionist bankers, reads academic books vetted by Jewish publishers, hangs their retirement on stock market gambling, chooses between two powerless figureheads controlled by Zionist lobbies, and is told to take their real economic frustrations out on minorities that are tiny, self destructive or unorganized. In exchange they get to watch black people fight over a ball courtesy of Zionist owned sports leagues, endless iterations of 5th grader level comic based movies from Zionist owned Hollywood, degenerate pornography from Zionist owned porn industry, crazy loans from Zionist owned banks and the hollow notion that they're a force for good in the world and that Israel are their best friends. And they can't snap out of this matrix.

@BheriaMS Genuine question: was Guenon an actual Muslim or a murtad? Did he belive that only Islam is Haqq & the full authentic preservation of the Primordial Tradition, or was he a perennialist kafir who saw all classic religions as they are now to be valid on their own?

Hamza Benaissa is the only (post) trad author who I’ve seen write on subjects such as economics, anthropology, …

btw man speaking is Rachid Benaissa from Algeria 🇩🇿, his brother Hamza Benaissa is another underrated Muslim intellectual : a neurosurgeon who was a disciple of Bennabi & later proposed a vision of Traditionalism w/o religious universalism + grounding in social sciences.

@safwanSpiker7 JazakAllahu khayran

@TheAnalyst39938 based on our disposition. Realizing & worshipping God is our main purpose, humans either come to do it or deny it like kuffar.

Two metaphysical steps to absolutely bypass falāsifa discourse on the eternity of the creation, and establish the origination of creation from non-existence without negative implications for the perfection of God 🧵 1. Correct their doctrine of cause and effect, with the effect

@safwanSpiker7 If we say, that through tashdeed my essence is becoming more intense through drawing closer to Al-Haqq, what is then my essence? Is it changing or unchanging? What is it in me & my consciousness & my awareness that remains constant & unchanging?

@safwanSpiker7 I have a question. Shaykh Jilani writes in Sirr al Asrar, that the purpose of creation is that humans draw closer to Allah. What then is my essence? My mithal or 'ayn thabit? Does my essence rise & change through my elevation in darajat? What about Sadras haraka jawhariyya?
