@MerlinsCry Traditional islam can't be over and would not be over anytime soon. If you're well versed on Islamic history you'd know that

This is a good observation.
My solution to fix it would be:
- make men equal symbolic representations of virtue
- make women have more religious agency
Not in the Western dumb way without regard for gender truth ofc. But this would improve the religion

I keep thinking how islam cleverly made its women their symbolic representation for the sole reason of moral surveillance (as opposed to never giving them any religious authority, institutional power) that even a non religious person would subconsciously morally decode the woman

@MansaCam @AaaaTentuSekali He's not an Islamic scholar. There are conditions to be met before one can call themselves that and doesn't meet any

Interesting thread of thoughts I l’ve been studying the Sudanese scholar Mahmoud Mohamed Taha and this is consistent with his thinking to a point He saw this historical burden on women as temporary concession for 7th-century Arabia.

God made women the symbolic representation of how a family, tribe, or society is “morally performing” everywhere. Utterly nothing unique about this.

@_alice_evans @jburnmurdoch On what basis do you see liberalism of the west a 'good' while the traditions of developing countries as bad
English
I call it "Cultural Leapfrogging"
Young women all over the world are bypassing traditional gatekeepers and exploring content that affirms their status .
But as women move to the egalitarian frontier, male compatriots aren't keeping pace.
Thanks to @jburnmurdoch for covering!!

This has been a fun debate to follow. One week ago, I think I was 70-30 on the side of smartphones being over-blamed for the decline of birthrates in the US and around the world. The timing just didn't seem to match up for me, given the long-term decline in fertility rates. But Lyman, @jburnmurdoch, and @JesusFerna7026 have changed my mind. I think several phenomena related to phones—declining socialization; declining coupling; smartphone-mediated distribution of western values, including feminism—have probably had a global effect on birthrates

I’ve wondered in the past whether the sentiment expressed in this hadith is simply lost on some modern women.
The Prophet ﷺ uses the love of a mother to emphasise the mercy of Allah, but if women themselves despise motherhood and children, what do they gain from this hadith?

when my obstetrics professor was like "in an emergency situation we do everything possible to save the baby" and i was like ".....and the mother 🤓" and she was like "well yes but the baby is our priority"

Hate to break it to you son you are just intellectually lazy , As Wittgenstein said: 'The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.' Cant be moaning about theology not expanding and you can only read and understand english
Syntheist@meshmwandishi
Seriously though is there any one else theologizing anymore apart from the Catholics? Islam's cosmic metaphysics couldn't continue after the resounding defeat of the Ottoman caliphate. Iranian Shias don't count because they just cosplay gnosticism without questioning the creator's ontology. Calvinists became wokies and the less said about evangelicals the better. New atheism tried though. But it is not all lost. We're witnessing early stages of neo paganism on one side of the aisle and a metaphorical analysis of Christianity specifically by the likes of Zizek.

This is like Manchester City taking Arsenal to court for winning the EPL in 2026.
NNPC is the closest thing to a monopoly in Nigeria; they own refineries, gas fields, pipelines, and storage, plus millions of barrels of crude oil they didn't pay for.
NNPC could have been the Aramco of Africa, but it can't even get a single refinery working, with trillions of taxpayers' funds wasted.
This is a waste of the court's time

A salah that was accepted.
A clean heart full of iman.
An eye that lowered it's gaze.
A tongue moistened with dhikr.
Hands that kept their trust.
Steps that weren't lead anywhere Allah ﷻ was disobeyed.

The online battle between the uneducated Muslim and the ignorant Islamophobe is a tale as old as time, and the latter will almost always come out looking like the winner. This is also why Muslims who reply to every copy-pasta Islamophobic tweet looking for a banger are some of the most annoying accounts on here

One of the earliest Islamic documents we have from Egypt contains the seal of the famous Companion Amr ibn al-As. It is dated 643 CE / 22 AH, just 11 years after the Prophet ﷺ.
And it’s not in Arabic. It’s in Greek.
Why? Because Egypt had only recently come under Muslim rule, and the existing Byzantine bureaucracy still operated in Greek.
So Amr didn’t need to personally write Greek. The document was likely prepared by local Greek-speaking scribes, then authenticated with his seal.
That seal is still preserved.
It reads: “Seal of Amr ibn al-As.”
This gives us a fascinating glimpse into how the earliest Muslims governed: not by instantly replacing every system overnight, but by using already existing administrative structures under new authority. The earliest Muslims were pragmatic.

1) Imam Ahmad al-Muzani (d. 356) argues that the activity of resolving contentions in a hadith is what actually demonstrates scholarly insight, rather than mere rejection which even the non-specialist can do.
