  • Synthetic personalized translation of Quran 3:120 :My cognitive self-therapy for patience in persecution

    اگر چھوبھی جاتی ہے تم کو کوئی بھلائی تو انہیں بری لگتی ہے اورتم پر کوئی مصیبت آتی ہے تو یہ خوش ہوتے ہیں مگر ان کی کوئی تدبیر تمہارے خلاف کارگر نہیں ہوسکتی بشرطیکہ تم صبر سے کام لو اور اللہ سے ڈر کر کام کرتے رہو، بیشک ان کے سب کام خدا کے گھیرے میں ہیں
    When anything good comes your way they are hurt, and when something bad happens to you they celebrate, But if you are patient in adversity and avoid sins due to being conscious of God, their tactics and strategies cannot harm you, there is no doubt that God is fully aware and in control of their actions.

  • Kalash people, ancient greeks, hebrew gnosticism, Ishmaelite pronomian gnosticism and anti-imperialist phariseeism

    Shalom on truth seekers. I am a Pakistani orthodox Muslim with Hebrew roots. Although the article is informative it contains stereotypical inaccuracies repeated by xenophobic anti-gnostic trinitarian fundamentalists. This article can help overcome many westerners to overcome their anti-Eastern xenophobia. As far as forced conversions are concerned, Quran 2:256 explicitly forbids them unlike Bible. Many ancient Hindu and ancient Hebrew tribes have voluntarily converted to Islam by virtue of Sufi pro-Ishmaelite gnostics, so pro-Israelite gnostic should respect their Abrahamic cousins. The Phoenecian Hebrews you discussed can choose to prefer their Abrahamic roots over Hellenistic roots and vice versa. Muslim philosophers like Averroes are one of the best examples of synthetic civilized identities. Taliban are a recent political phenomenon initially supported by Reagan, but now many orthodox scholars denounce their antinomian instances of phariseeism fearlessly. I have a friend from Chitral who knows Kalash people voluntarily converting to Islam due to Sufi missionaries of Tabligh. He also shared a kalash joke telling Muslims, that if even Muslims drink alcohol, so if you want us to convert to Islam, stop sinning before lecturing us. This is called ad hominem but Sufi gnostics love ad hominem criticism as it is necessary for moral and spiritual progress.Descendants of Esau settled in Babylon and in some of the Phoenician Cities such as Tyre.

    A message from the acting Chair

    December 1, 2017

    To the current and future electrical engineering community at Princeton:

    As we respond to the recently revealed case of sexual harassment within our department, I want to reiterate the importance of treating each other with the greatest humanity and respect.
    Any behavior or attitudes that lessen the dignity of another human being have no place in our department.
    As acting chair, I commend all who speak up publically or privately and work to prevent abuse in all forms, and I pledge to work with you to foster a safe, inclusive, healthy, productive work environment for all.

  • Who are Salihi Zaydis?

    Ryan Morgan Christison Too my knowledge these are the sub sects of the zaidiyya:

    – Jaruidi (active and majority of houthis)
    – Hadawy (active)
    – Qasimi (active)
    – Baqri (active)
    – Sulaymani (inactive)
    – Bathri (inactive)

    Which one do you believe is more on the haq Ishmael Abraham?

    Ishmael Abraham I love Salihi school founded by Hasan bin Salih bin Hayy who is said to never talk about dunya and wept a lot. His enemies said, we love the smile of Sunni Thawri than tears of Zaydi Salihi.

    Ryan Morgan Christison Is this school not extinct tho?
    Ishmael Abraham Ideas never become extinct 🙂 Truth seekers become extinct but heresiologists still mention them so their dhikr is not extinct. He represents the interface of the continuum.

  • Quran and violent intercultural conflict: The case of a controversial late fellow Pakistani

    Assalamu alaykum Aurangzaib bhai. Thanks for the article. It helps modern educated pro-traditional people like me to know the ground realities more. My advice for both poles of Pakistani spectrum is to overcome our worst fears of the other by educating people about both anti-traditional and anti-modern xenophobia. The Recited Logos of Quran revealed to both physical and spiritual Ishmaelites teaches that homo sapiens are created weak and we have psychological weaknesses whether we are modernists or traditionalists. Modernists should empathize with traditionalists for preserving our roots although imperfectly and traditionalists should be educated about possible goodness of imperfect modern humans because Quran says we should stand for justice and truth even if is against our own selves (wa law ala anfusikum). Because sometimes we are defending our partially truthful egos instead of complete truth.

    Urdu equivalent in Roman transliteration containing the gist: Mardan waqia awr Qurani rehnumai:  Asa. Qadeem ulama ko chahiye ke wo Wa law ala Anfusikum par amal karay yani haq bat qubul karay hatta ke agar apne khilaf kiyu na ho. Jadeed talim yaftagan ko chahiye ke darakht ki hifazat karnay walo ke sath shafqat awr shukarguzari ke sath pesh aye. Allah farmata he insan kamzor he chahe qadeem ho ya jadeed.

  • Fighting public smoking and geopolitical oppression: Precedent of an injured Pakistani anti-tobacco activist

    Jerry Sexton I take it that he’s ruffled a few feathers. I admire his courage.

    Ishmael Abraham If fighting public smoking is so difficult in traditional cultures, how can the scholars here dare to speak at global geopolitical oppression. The culture of American political xenophobia forces thinking Muslims into silence here. Secularists here enjoy insulting us because they know that imperialists will stand up for them.

  • Is Left pro-Islamic?At the crossroads of cultural temptations and international law

    • The legal background of the author makes him pro-left because leftists promote secular international law which both Republicans and Democrats continue to violate. But he underestimates the fact that secular cultural Zionism will slowly eradicate the resistance to Hellenistic Protestant Crusades.Pioneering article.

       

    • Tolerant indifference of leftists risks the souls of billions of modern humans.

    • Noam Chomsky serves the new world order because he spreads subtle and occasionally explicit alarmist propaganda about Pakistan so I question his intentions. Quran says being tempted is worse than being killed. May God protect us from the temptation of secular pseudo-humanistic Antichrist.

      Wow, this article was written by a dhimmi.
      “because of Islamic resistance to oppression” – are you serious? Islam IS oppression.
      “It’s no secret that right-wingers have a pathological need for producing hatred.” – and with that you’ve lost all credibility, you partisan hack.

      Quran 5:51 – “O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends
      and protectors: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And
      he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily
      Allah guideth not a people unjust.”

      Yeah, definitely no bigotry in Islam.

      Shalom on those who follow divine guidance. If you are a God-fearing Jew or Christian, carefully read my words and contemplate on them. The verse you quoted is about entering murderous political alliances like NATO and IDF. Otherwise, Islam would not allow marrying chaste Jewish-Christian women and eating their kosher food. If you think Islam is oppression, then you are a covert secularist because commandments Torah are more strict and Quran seeks to ease them. Like you cannot do business on Sabbath but Islam allows business in timings other than congregational prayer on the new Sabbath of Friday. We should overcome our mutual xenophobia and try to resist hellenistic cultural pseudo-Zionism (resisted by Maccabees as well) and hyper-sexualization of Holy Land the birthplace of our mutually revered Son of Mary, may shalom be upon both.

      Is the Left Pro-Islamic?

  • On Semitic iconoclasm and colorful churches with an Eastern Orthodox brother

    ISHMAEL ABRAHAM·TUESDAY, 6 FEBRUARY 2018
    Sufi monks prefer sombre spiritual constructions. But I like colors of nature. I like Christian traditionalism. I can see the icons as well. Blind iconoclasm paved the road for modernity and destroyed the traditional culture. I am for pro-traditional iconoclasm and spiritual/intellectual/psychological/philosophical iconoclasm and God has created that potential in you, brother. Modern humanity needs traditional arts like Islamic calligraphy.
    David Hawthorne I love beauty wherever it is found and the most beautiful art and architecture of any culture is almost invariably inspired by faith.

    I think this is because Beauty as a Universal is transcendent much like faith is.

    Ishmael Abraham How do you distinguish seductive sensual beauty and non-seductive sensual beauty. Quran is very graphic about sensual aesthetics in Garden of Firdaws the Abrahamic root word for Paradise by describing the waterfalls for example.

  • Message to a modern nature photographer among Prophetic descendants

    Assalamu alaykum bukhari bhai. I am so pre-occupied with reading the blessed and glorious history of your grandfathers that I am not left with time to appreciate your art of photography. But today while occasionally looking at your photos, I said SubhanAllah with greater aesthetic awe than felt within monasteries.

  • The true story behind Abdullah Shah Ghazi shrine

    https://www.dawn.com/news/1145799

    Some secular writers have insinuated that later saints were superior to him do not know that those later saints took their inspiration from his martyrdom. He is the son of Muhammad the pure soul who revolted against Abassids.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alid_revolt_of_762%E2%80%93763 

    The forefather of present king Qaboos of Oman loved him and secretly supported him so he was fired from his post due to his love for Prophetic descendants.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umar_ibn_Hafs_Hazarmard

    Even one polytheistic Sindhi king is said to respect the Prophetic descendants. May God bless our politicians with the same love for intellectual and biological descendants of the Prophet(s). In the last century, Nadwi is a Hasani descendant and Mawdudi is a Husayni descendant and both are neglected by masses like their forefathers.

    Even Jewish professors have written the biography of the pure soul who revolted. But ignorant secularized Muslims have forgotten their own history. It should be noted that even the Prophetic family had reservations about foreign forms of mysticism.

    It is said that 400 Zaydi disciples accompanied Abdullah Al-Ashtar to Sindh.
