Striving to be the dash in meta-physician

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

An essay I wrote a little while back

[Renovatio @RenovatioOnline]

"I suppose the body to be nothing but a statue or machine made of earth." — Rene Descartes

Read, "Modern Medicine and the Shadow of Illness" by Aasim Hasany. https://t.co/57o5CunTw1

@JosephLumbard Very astute observation. Colonization also causes us to re construct meaning of words that previously meant something totally different. Shura becomes democracy, ilm becomes science etc

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@TheUsuli That is surprising. There is a lot to use to address contemporary issues ie. hierarchy /division of sciences, questions relating to soul,brain,body etc

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@TheUsuli I know but that is not falsafa. With your Arabic skill and spirit to learn you should look into Islamic philosophy.

@akbereo The only saving grace of this tweet are its comments lol.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@mashshai @sharghzadeh What Urdu book is this?

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@omar_gddd @JosephLumbard Basically you rather our scholars study western philosophy rather than their own philosophical traditions.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@VPrasadMDMPH Problem is that many weed smokers who think they are healthy often have emphysematous lungs. This makes them susceptible to chronic cavitary aspergillosis.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@jjinjjani @husnayn_ I say this because others like @mashshai have spoken about ibn taymiyyahs mystical approach (as opposed to rational/demonstrative approach) to establishing God’s existence more akin to the sufis

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@husnayn_ @jjinjjani Interesting to bring together these two “opposing figures” and show how they reach similar conclusions re: ithbat al wajib

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@MazMHussain You mean to say these urban planners “Gave up on their indigenous architectural traditions”

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@mkhanpasha Zabardast. Also the reference to “ham” gives a communal feeling to the second line. Ie. those Brahmins and ascetics who find god in sanctuary vs we who find god in the sanctuary of the heart

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@JosephLumbard Why did so many great scholars in our tradition feel the need to construct such proofs?

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@HashUrTag @Armour_02 @brethrenfpurity Bhai, the sareeh words are not always sareeh in meaning. When the Quran says “don’t eat pig” that has a sareeh meaning. When the Quran says “He does what He wills” the meaning is not sareeh. You have to interpret the meaning of the latter verse

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@HashUrTag You are confusing qati nusus with your dhanni interpretation of the nusus. Your extrapolations of Gods voluntarism from the Quran are not qati but based on dhann.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@sharghzadeh You forgot to mention it being in a pharmacy! lol I bet it is called Ebn ol Sina four-massie

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@jjinjjani @Armour_02 Ustad shows his integrity. We need more non sectarian/non confessional approaches to maqulat.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@ThomasSowell Except when it comes to sports when said immigrants who despise western values win soccer championships and accolades for their newly adopted (yet hated) countries.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@sharghzadeh Insane problems are not from incompetence. Mundane problems are from incompetence.

[Aasim @aasimhasany]

@MuslimPhil This “logic and common sense” on display are the specious reasonings of the sophists ie. qadaya e mushabbahat
