If you privilege Farsi then India is one thing. If you privilege Sanskrit then India is another thing. India is (wrongfully) whatever the person wants it to be

[Mohammad Ashir @MohammadAshir_]

For him who has conquered his (lower) self by the (higher) Self his Self is a friend but for him who has snot possessed his (higher) Self, his very Self will act in enmity, like an enemy.

- Bhagavad Gita 6.6

"In whatever way people surrender unto Me, I reciprocate accordingly. Everyone follows My path, knowingly or unknowingly, O son of Pritha."
- Bhagavad Gita 4.11

You heard the one about the Birmingham born dawla enforcer who made takfeer on his brailvi parents but needed them later to pay for his wedding?

Not enough thobes and skinfades akhi

[🇵🇸 اویس @Rainypainyy]

‘Allāh’ in Chinese is ‘Zhēnzhǔ (真主)’ which means ‘The true Lord’.

This is not a direct translation, but a localised equivalent, which makes the divine name “Allāh” intelligible in taoist and Confucian terms.

A perfect example of how theology becomes localised.

@seraphicsidr And then these village wars are exported to the west

@Guggenhe1m Might aswell hit German idealism afterwards aswell fuck it

@IbnBaller1 I can imagine mufti saying this in his heyday

"islamic" anything in post modern world just takes the framework of modernity and attaches a label to it and works through loopholes. Islamic finance, islamic republic, islamic state etc. The foundation isn't questioned. Why not have islamic shirk at this point

[Safdar Alam @SafdarAlam]

Islamic finance graduates.

When you graduate the only role open for 99% of you is working for an Islamic bank which requires zero Islamic finance knowledge - only how a conventional bank runs, how debt, credit and lending work. The islamic stuff is just superficial and easy to learn.

Any conventional analyst can do Islamic banking. It’s simple. And there’s too many Islamic finance graduates for this basic work.

Aren’t you dissatisfied that you have nothing Islamic to work at after you graduate?

[Mohammad Ashir @MohammadAshir_]

@omar_dddg Why is this even contested. Any serious scholar of fiqh or just someone educated will tell you there has been major disagreement and discussion regarding Music since the beginning of Islam. Anyone who doesn't engage with or acknowledge the ikhtilaf is too ignorant to take serious

Lokasamgraha was the motivating force for ALL societies before the reign of quantity

@pmamtraveller I'm so glad we don't live like this!

@j0icat Pakistanis are either peak sludge or pioneers. The latter is diminishing more and more

[Bolshevik Enthusiast @LeBolshevikman]

"Bronze Age Mindset" posters when people actually engage in BAM

[Mohammad Ashir @MohammadAshir_]

China is peak reign of quantity. Someone should write a book about this. "China: the highest stage of quantity"
