As a Muslim, realize you are literally superior to everyone else

This isn’t arrogance, this is a brute fact

Your tawheed and salah is undoubtedly superior in strength and truth than all the glamor of the world

Extraordinary things happen when you live with this mentality

And here we are playing whack-a-mole with yet another marriage horror story told by yet another Muslimah doctor

My takeaway:

Muslimah struggle to vet suitors. This dude was a player from the start. Leave it to your wali to vet him.

Her tldr takeaway:
All (Muslim) men are trash

Only engage with those who engage with you in good faith. When someone raises a concern or criticism regarding you, your position, or your community, but that same criticism is infinitely more applicable to them, you know instantly that this is not good faith engagement.

Al-Baqillani argued that if the pagans succeeded in the Quranic challenge, the Prophet ﷺ would have been defeated.

However, if they went to war with him and killed him, it still wouldn't negate his prophethood.

They attempted the latter because they couldn't manage the former.

Why I believe the Taliban & Afghanistan will be a powerful force in the coming days.

In the Muqaddimah, Ibn Khaldun wrote that societies go through a cyclical pattern of development, with a period of growth followed by a period of decline. He believed that this cycle takes about 100 years to complete.

In the first stage of the cycle, a society is small and relatively simple. The people are united by a strong sense of common identity and purpose. They are also motivated by a strong sense of group solidarity. This combination of factors allows the society to grow and prosper. (Taliban in this stage)

In the second stage of the cycle, the society becomes larger and more complex. The people become more specialized in their work, and there is a greater division of labor. This leads to increased productivity and wealth. However, it also leads to a decline in asabiyyah. The people become more focused on their own individual interests, and they lose sight of the common good.

In the third stage of the cycle, the society begins to decline. The people become more corrupt and materialistic. They lose their sense of purpose and direction. The state becomes weak and inefficient. This leads to instability and conflict. (Western & Gulf Arab countries are in this stage)

In the fourth stage, the society collapses. The people are either conquered by a foreign power or they fall into anarchy. This marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of a new one.

After the fall of the Ottoman Khilafa, the political power of the Muslims was wiped out from the world stage. We are going to see glad tidings in the coming decade for Muslims around the world.

The rise of the Selzuk Empire always fascinated me, how some nomad Turk accepted Islam & became the savior of Islam & Muslims.

Imam Al Ghazali is a massive gem. In my progressive days I used to think rational thought was only for modern scientific scholars or the Aristotelian philosophers, but Ghazali creates a coherent rational system, that showed me how the Kalam tradition should not be downplayed

🧵 Ibn Kathīr relates in his work of history entitled al-Bidāyah wa-Nihāyah:

“And from another source, Muʿāwiyah said to Yazīd, ‘Verily, do I have a dear friend from the people of Medina, so honor him.” Yazid asked, ‘Who is that?’ Muʿāwiyah replied, ‘ʿAbdullāh bin Jaʿfar.”

[Abdullah al Andalusi @AbdullaAndalusi]

'Muslim' Nationalists often accuse Muslims calling to implementation of Islam as being 'Western agents part of a colonialist agenda'. But ask yourself, what does the West want? A United Islamic Caliphate, or disunited nation-states as now? Then you'll see who are the real agents

[Imam Qurtubi @reformedqurtubi]

The Prophet ﷺ used to raise his voice and recite this when he went to war.
[Bukhari 3034]

[Seeker @SamQari]

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The Deen is sincerity". We said: "To whom?" He replied, "To Allah, His Book, His Messenger and for the leaders of the Muslims and their masses".

This hadith always amazes me. It's so simple and straightforward but has broad applications.

[ʿAqil @aqilazme]

Unpopular opinion:

Religion and politics should not be mixed.

Rather, Religion should dominate politics: the ideal hierarchy being the Islāmic worldview on top, from the abstract we get our principles to govern our concrete political affairs at the bottom of the hierarchy.

Çağri Bey's advice to his son Sultan Muhammed Alparslan is recorded as follows:

“...Dear Son! Fear Allah as you should. May the feeling of humility be planted in your heart. I have left you neither palaces nor wealth, for the greatest wealth you can hold is good morals.

🧵 It was said that a Muslim approached Imām Jaʿfar bin Muhammad al-Sādiq and abused a fellow Muslim. So Imām Jaʿfar asked him: “Did you fight the Romans?” He replied, “No.” Imām Jaʿfar then asked, “Did you fight the Persians?” The man replied, “No.”

I have observed something that shock me to the core - in fact, it made me feel unwell.

Am I missing something ? Or is "human evolution" being pushed in the da'wah once again?

A thread. Bismillah.
