Having no enemy is often a reflection of having no purpose, because if your presence never offended anyone, then you’ve probably never stood for anything.

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

“What damage can the devil be of?”, asked a man of undirected faith.

“I’m about to inflict upon you a terrible shock; I’ll deprive you of the enemy. You’ll never taste the luxury of having one”, responded the devil, unleashing the worst of his damaging skills.

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

A popular myth, indeed.

A Shī‘ā friend of mine corrected me with his emphasis on “O nahin nahin bhai, hum ne nahin mara tha”, and then shared the story which turned out to be correct, insofar as the martyrdom of Hassan and Hussain ibn Ali ؓ is concerned.

don't start attacking me but when i was kid I used to believe Shi'as were the yazeedi fouj and they do matam as repentance for the sinful acts their ancestors have done.

Universities turn research into a box-ticking ritual, formalities over substance, bureaucracy over ideas. Research has been deactivated into nothing but an entry pass simply to open the door into corridors of personal glory. The machine produces slavish and self-obsessed psyches.

For God’s sake, keep the influence of this education system away from your child. They’ll dumb your kid down, I guarantee. Teach them through organic means, and invest heavily into their critical learning through experts hired separately, instead of throwing them into the jails.

“In its anger against the Church, the Western mind, even in our modern age, reacts like a patient recovering from a trauma. It cannot accept a sensible moderate position. Their animosity toward the Church of the Middle Ages became an animosity to all religions.”

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

exploitation through biblical verses was common; and countless other examples. Any sane mind would’ve done the same as the protestants did. However, the protestants went to the other extreme.

As expressed by Faiz Ahmad Faiz:

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

قُلْ هَاتُوا۟ بُرْهَـٰنَكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَـٰدِقِينَ ١١١

Say, “Bring your argument, if you are truthful.”

”ان سے کہو، لاؤ اپنی دلیل، اگر تم سچّے ہو۔“

[Sūrah al-Baqarah 2:111]

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

A healthy debate and constructive criticism stimulate, rather than inhibit, ideas. This pollyannaish notion that be positive, do not hurt anyone’s feelings, and get along. Well, that’s just wrong. Friction in an exchange is unpleasant, but will always prove to be more productive.

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

دیارِ مغرب کے رہنے والو! خدا کی بستی دکاں نہیں ہے
کھرا جسے تم سمجھ رہے ہو، وہ اب زرِ کم عیار ہو گا
تمھاری تہذیب اپنے خنجر سے آپ ہی خود کُشی کرے گی
جو شاخِ نازک پہ آشیانہ بنے گا، ناپائدار ہو گا

“...by 2050, 155 of 204 (76%) countries and territories will be below the replacement level of fertility (2.1). The number of countries and territories below replacement level is predicted to further increase to 198 of 204 (97%) by 2100. This means that in these locations, . . .

سیکولر حل:

صرف دو بچوں کی اجازت ہونی چاہیئے۔ تیسرے بچے کی صورت میں دس لاکھ روپے "بھتہ" دینا ہوگا۔

کتنے کیوٹ ہوتے ہیں یہ دانش گرد 🙂۔

trying a variety of ways to reverse the decline. A recent example is using millions of dollars of taxpayers’ money to fund a matchmaking service for young couples. Subsidized ‘konkatsu’ parties are arranged for single men and women to meet, eat, drink, and eventually have babies.

The discourse is demonstrably already around the corner 🙂

Had he been a Muslim, 2.5% zakāt (obligatory charity) upon his accumulated wealth and liquid assets would’ve generated an astronomical $25B annually, enough to deal with the global hunger crisis, as well as to head off the poverty. That’s how Islām brings ease with a finger snap.

BREAKING:

Elon Musk officially becomes the world’s first trillionaire.

[Muhammad Zahir 🏴 @Zahiristic]

Whereas the cosmological order of capitalism implicitly, or at times explicitly, declares the hoarding of wealth for its own sake as ‘summum bonum’ with a predisposition towards non-compensatory principle, if, by chance, it shows up on the bargaining table.
