Here is another update to my hadith series. This is my fifth article. It is much shorter and can be read standalone. kerrs.blog/posts/errors-a…

Ibn Kullab said: That the Creator has always existed when there was no place or time prior to creation, and He is currently upon the same state He always was, and that He did istiwa on the throne as He stated, and that He has 'uluw above all things [al-Maqalat]

REVIEW: Original Islam by Yasin Dutton investigates the primacy of Madinan Islam and the madhab (school of Islamic law) of its main exponent, (Imam) Malik ibn Anas. By "original Islam," the author means the Islam that was established by the Prophet and his Companions in Madina at the time of the Qur'anic revelation and that was then inherited and transmitted as a fully functioning social pattern by the following generations until its essentials were finally recorded in written form by the Madinan scholar Malik in his Muwatta in the middle years of the eighth century. The author includes a comprehensive section on the scholarly credentials of Imam Malik as well as a detailed examination of a number of theoretical and practical disputed legal issues. The book also includes an annotated translation of a fifteenth century text by al-Ra'i, an Andalusian-Egyptian scholar, on the virtues of Imam Malik and the Maliki madhab. The book also provides examples of inter-madhab rivalry and prejudice amongst Muslim scholars in fifteenth century Cairo. A highly recommended read for anyone interested in Islamic law and the principles of Islamic jurisprudence.

@xspotsdamark @Jaybles1015 @Sambo_Italiano It's the age old infant death numbers people fall for

That San actor was 95 years old when he starred in that movie. Yet he was still able to keep pace with the peak European masculinity. That alone should tell you something about vitality, Nietzschean Vitalist

@ZuhdApprentice The parallels with Roman law are fascinating

More evidence hanafis are the only ones that value truth, justice (and the kufan way).

@mirchond @gypsy_heart6 I'm reading Asif's book right now, these will be most beneficial.

@gypsy_heart6 Wink's review: networks.h-net.org/node/22055/rev… Hämeen-Anttila's review: research.ed.ac.uk/portal/files/7…

From the mid-eight century until the arrival of the Ghaznavids, there were several Arab principalities centered around the cities and towns of Sindh: Mansura, Uch, Multan, and Khambhat.

“At the heart of Pakistan is a paradox. A country created to found a homeland for the Muslims of India has been largely ruled by an elite whose allegiance to Islam has tended to be either nominal or purely instrumental.”

Catholics in Europe were too afraid to teach their students the works of the Latin Scholastics due to them then being introduced to “Islamic” Philosophy and by that they'd see the brilliance and thus apostate from their religion. What an absolute joke.

@Davidlit3 @WDLD0712 Highly, in fact they use his and Shah Abdul Aziz's views against deobandis in polemics (the Deobandis have their own response to this)

You don’t have to like Ahmad Raza Khan Barelwi and the Barelwi movement, but it’s historically inaccurate to present him as an aberrant heterodox deviant. ARK represents the centuries-old scholarly tradition in Hindustan, represented by institutions like Firangi Mahal in Lucknow. This was the scholarship of Ahmad Sirhindi who defied Akbar’s pantheist Din-i-Ilahi, and the scholarship patroned by Aurangzeb. From a historical POV, it was Shah Waliullah (and his intellectual descendants in Deoband and Ahle Hadees) who departed from traditional Indian scholarship. This is value-free history.

So much jahalat in one tweet 1. That isn't Alahazrat 2. Your dad Thanvi gave the same fatwa that jihad is not fard against British due to incapacity 3. Ahlus Sunnah had to be divisive to protect orthodoxy 4. You idiots say Muslims were already mushrik even before Alahazrat came

@_shershahhkhan_ welcome back boss

@TalAbdulrazaq always funny to recall he worked as a translator for Sunnah.com

What a vile demon. Amin defended innocent children from two terrorists armed with guns & gave his life in defence of others. But his iman is still in doubt to this beast. It's easy to question the faith of others while he hides away tweeting aggressively as they take bullets.

"Seminary students lack comprehension skills and would benefit from reading widely in English on the subjects they study." Does this claim hold up under scrutiny? khairabadiinstitute.com/articles/curri…

Seyyed Hossein Nasr: "Because of the lack of discernment which characterizes the modern world and which is to be seen often even more among Westernized Orientals, Muslim and otherwise, than among Westerners themselves, all kinds of fantastic excesses on both sides have prevented

@ashariukht may i politely ask what the title of the book/article is that this scan is taken from, please? and the page number, if that's alright. nothing contentious, i'd just like to get some fuller context for the explanation, for my own edification. Allah ta'ala bless you.

The Story of Imām al-Rāzī’s One Hundred Proofs 👀

The reason is simple. The UAE ruling family has one existential fear their own population. The Arab Spring showed them exactly what happens when political Islam gets room to breathe. Egypt, Tunisia, Gaza every time Muslims voted freely, Islamist movements won. The Brotherhood won decisively, with mass popular legitimacy. MBZ watched that and understood: the biggest threat to an unelected Gulf monarchy is an organized, politically conscious Muslim citizenry that starts asking why a handful of families own everything. So the entire UAE strategy follows from that one fear. Fund Islamophobia in the West wether in France or the UK because a global discourse that frames Muslim political organization as extremism gives them cover to crush it at home. Align with lsrael because lsrael has spent 70 years developing the infrastructure to suppress exactly this kind of organized Muslim resistance. Back Sisi because Egypt proved that military force can reverse a democratic Islamist victory if you move fast enough. The blockade on Qatar in 2017 was precisely related to this- they wanted to close aljazeera because it was giving a voice to the revolutionaries and the arab voices in the streets It’s not about religion. MBZ isn’t secular because he read Voltaire. He’s secular because political Islam is the only force that could delegitimize his rule entirely through the simple question: By what right do you govern? He doesn’t have a good answer. So he funds the people who make sure nobody asks while ensuring his citizens live in luxury and never have a reason to go on the streets
