@YepiKaiYay@movetomuscat So you're saying if someone uses Islam to further their shallow interests then you should disregard it as well. What a flimsy & emotional argument. One must follow Islam because it is the truth even if it is not convenient.
@aqilazmeo@Yahya____233 For instance in a recent video he talked about developing adab for the 'word' written or spoken. Ibn Arabi's science of letters, Heidegger's neologisms, James Joyce's narrative techniques & the linguistic deficiencies of Urdu were some of the points he used.
@theholistic786@alsenegalen6@Covenant_watch@IbnMaghrebi I admitted my ignorance thus I asked instead of figuring it out myself which is what my ego suggested but had to humble myself. Now the ego says look what you got : condescending elitist sarcasm. I must counter it and ask again my dear brothers to rid me of my ignorance.
@LarMusulman@2greedy99@MuslimPhil@safwanSpiker7 They never intended if for the general public. So it's the general public who delve into these subjects without fulfilling the pre-requisites
@safwanSpiker7@LarMusulman In Akbarian epistemology there is a concept of 'al-wajh al-khâss' commonly translated as ' private face' . Go read about that and you might get a better grasp of this.
@2greedy99@safwanSpiker7@LarMusulman Well without going into detail you can understand this in the light of the following Hadith.
من عرف نفسه فقد عرف ربه
One who knows oneself knows God.
@2greedy99@MuslimPhil@safwanSpiker7@LarMusulman To understand such statements one must know the broader sufi epsitemeology so it is useless to have a meaningful discourse unless you're not willing to make that effort. It's like asking to explain a complex equation in physics without having the pre-requisite knowledge of math.
@IbnMaghrebi "But brudda english Naats at a Bradford mawlid means white supremacy. Diversity demands they must only be in urdu and no other language besides it."

@_Abdullah_Saleh I would detail one story if it was something out of the ordinary. It's literally the norm. I have seen it in my family and all around me. Families always get involved & even the community elders if need be. I'm sure you're familiar with 'Panchayat '
@_Abdullah_Saleh I'm not denying there are issues but it's not representative of the larger culture. Im literally from a village in central punjab & can tell you almost always family's intervene. It's the liberal media propaganda that paint the traditional culture bad.
@guywithlibrary The najdi cult was never a revivalist movement but a political one. They were driven more by anti-Ottoman sentiment than any genuine understanding of religion.Bidah & Takfir are used as tools to control dissent & restrict religion to a state sanctioned interpretation.
