He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner. To Him belong the fairest names. All that is in the heavens and the earth doth hymn His praise. And He is the Almighty, the All-Wise.
[Quran, 59:24]
O Allah, send blessings upon our master and patron Muhammad, and upon the family of our master and patron Muhammad—the Mīm of al-Majd (glory), the Ḥāʾ of al-Raḥmah (mercy), the Mīm of al-Mulk (dominion), and the Dāl of al-Dawām (everlastingness)—the perfect, excellent master, the opener and the seal; and upon his family, his Companions, his wives, and his descendants, and grant peace.
Grant him blessings and peace as numerous as all that is or has been within Your knowledge, whenever those who remember You and remember him mention You and him, and whenever those heedless of remembrance of You and of him are heedless.
Grant him a perpetual blessing, perpetual with the perpetuity of Your dominion, enduring with Your everlastingness, having no end short of Your knowledge. Indeed, You are powerful over all things.
@basedball_@dmontetheno1 Yep that I agree with. I guess the Islamic tradition never really put much emphasis nor importance to miracles. I feel for much of Islamic history supernatural incidents were “normal” to Muslims therefore they never felt like recording the reports because of their frequency.
@basedball_@dmontetheno1 I do think Padre Pio stuff is interesting but at the same time one could find saintly figures across many traditions. For example, Abdul Qadir Gilani’s hagiography is full of miraculous/supernatural incidents, the Imams as well.
“Have you become a Muslim, Goethe?”
“If Islam means submission to God, then we all live and die in Islam.”
“So, yes…?”
“There is no truth greater than the Oneness of God.”
“So—“
“In the valley below, flowers spring beneath his ﷺ footsteps,
The meadow in his breath finds life.”
ʿAlī spoke these lines at the Messenger of God’s grave, just after burying him:
Patience is beautiful except in our loss of you. Shock is loathsome except in our loss of you. The calamity brought by your death is enormous, while deaths before and after you mean nothing.
It was narrated that Abu Mas`ud said:
“A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and his voice trembled out of awe as he spoke to him. The Prophet said to him, “Be calm, for I am not a king. Verily, I am only the son of a woman who ate dried meat.”
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
@iwiltrytobegood@AEnjoyer447201@KhalilAndani@BiblicalU I agree but I have a question. Does your view allow for there to be hierarchies even in the insan al kamil’s? Since in Sufi thought, the Prophet ﷺ is the most perfect representation of divine disclosure, closely tied to the idea of al-ḥaqīqa al-muḥammadiyya.
@AEnjoyer447201 How do you synthesize the historical divinized Jesus with the Islamic Jesus, as a Muslim? Since I think the Sufi notion of insan Al kamil derived from Haqiqat al-Muhammadiyya can fit well.
@basedball_@ShaykhIshraq@Rurouni_Phoenix That’s almost every contemporary Muslim scholar/intellectual: Hossein Nasr, Hasan Spiker, Hamza Yusuf, Hakim Murad, etc.
When my dust was still unshaped,
when I had not yet opened my eyes to the world, you stood before my Lord and said—“Will You place in the earth one who will sow corruption and spill blood?”
Keep my three year old niece in your duas. 🤲
She is currently hospitalized, and the doctors are still unsure about what condition she may have. They are continuing to run tests and monitor her closely in hopes of reaching a clear diagnosis soon.
@basedball_ I remember discussing Libertarianism in college, especially Robert Nozicks idea of libertarianism, and everyone in class tried to poke holes in the theory like the replies in OP’s tweet, and the professor was like, “yeah, they already acknowledge all of those complaints.”
@CobustulusA Tbh, I’d rather them make no content on tasawwuf since it’ll become watered down just like most of the stuff they talk about. Some stuff should be left to people who really are passionate about them. Charity though should be talked about.
O my Lord! infirm indeed are my bones, and the hair of my head doth glisten with grey: but never am I unblest, O my Lord, in my prayer to Thee!
[Quran 19:4]
@MalachIcarus @boysoverflours I think ibn taymiyya classified a nabi to be someone who continues the previous revelations but a prophet to be someone who is sent to rejecting people and may bring a new law while also preaching to people. But I agree with you that I am not too sure about this topic.
@floatingwordist Ramadan truly is a blessing. I yearn all year for this blessed month for it is the month in which my closeness to Allah is unexplainable.
@boysoverflours Therefore this strongly suggests against a women prophet. He also cited this verse, “And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [the message], so ask the people of knowledge if you do not know.”
@boysoverflours I remember watching a lecture by Yasir Qadhi and he mentioned the view of Ibn Hazm and Al-Ash’ari of there being women prophets but he disagreed with them. He cited that even the greatest woman, Maryam (AS) was called “ṣiddīqah” but not a prophet.
