A spiritual Ishmaelite

Author: ishmaelabraham

  • Islam and deistic/compatibilist centrism

    Ghazzali’s faith crisis led to formulation of kalam cosmological argument which is mainly used by modern Christians today because us traditionalists are happy with what Heidegger calls authentic silence. I think you should scrutinize Islam more microscopically because its centrism has appealed to even western secular giants like knietsche. Looking at Islam as the inner missing link of western identity can revolutionize both American politics and ecumenical spirituality. Right now we can discuss how Islam is compatible with deistic centrism which is neglected by a polarized America. Another area is Dennet’s compatibilism which is compatible with dialectical tradition of Islam. West can be saved through its own neglected microtrends which are anchored in text and tradition of your forgotten Ishmaelite cousins.

  • Spontaneous persistence vs burnout

    Nick Elam Centrism is spontaneously persistent like democratic socialism. Being polar on both sides require extra energy leading to burnout.

  • How Corona Shaban can become the best Shaban of your life?

    While addressing Greek Orthodox humanists: Shalom/Salam. That is how disciples greeted each other. You might have heard about Ramadan when Muslims fast. Shaban is the month before Ramadan for optional fasting. This Shaban falls with corona quarantine. So, this is the best time for fasting every other day and can become the best Shaban of your life. You have to abstain from dawn to sunset with an optional pre dawn meal. Pre dawn is the best time to pray to God for forgiveness according to Quran. Research also recommends very early waking.

  • Middle Eastern modernity

    Iranian modernity is spiritual America. Saudi modernity is spiritual Israel.

  • Is Corona blessing in disguise?

    The Prophet (s) said: Plague is a punishment for deniers and a mercy for affirmers. Corona has become heaven on earth for me due to i) monastic feeling at home, ii) more time for God and family iii) more time for my scientific research iv) more time for company of my spiritual teachers v) a kind of globalization which is not about sexual revolution vi) more ummahness contrary to modern individualism vii) the global awareness of practical subhumanness of Iranians, Palestinians and Kashmiris even during humanitarian crisis viii) global debate and competition of religion and secularism in dealing with an inconclusive double edged sword which can ignite great scientific and inner progress ix) a greater self awareness of spiritual and physical hygiene among Muslims x) a prospect of global repentance and global transformation xi) revival of concept of tough love during quarantine which sounded totalitarian xii) a greater contempt for biowarfare xii) greater appreciation for concept of halal and kosher meat xiii) world powers failing at playing God xiv) Turkish research on thymoquinone which refutes orientalist project xv) more awareness of pro scientific nature of Islam xvi) a prospect of Eastern medical self sufficiency xvii) a refutation of military industrial complex xviii) failure of equations to solve the problem of panic xix) a simultaneous refutation of hashawi fideism and polytheistic scientism xx) Street existentialism xxi) the awareness of Hadith of empty Ka’bah confirming Prophetic prescience xxii) an intellectual learning zone for traditional scholars xxiii) importance of concept of demarcating beast of earth filtering the moral and the immoral xxiv) a punishment for capitalist/stalinist and yazidi/rafz crimes. xxv) disaster managing potential of centrist ideas and lifestyles.

  • Was Soviet Union imperial?

    Ishmael Abraham Riley this is my friend Ishmael. We’ve had some great discussions over the years. Ishmael, if you have a specific charge of imperialism I’d be happy to address it.

    Nick Elam What is past is past. I wish Central Asian traditional Muslims feel as free as American Muslims and as authentic as Egypt, Yemen and Malaysia. Chinese Malaysians and Catholic socialists can empathize.

  • Why we refuse to vacate houses of God?

    Mosques decision in Pakistan is about politics because atheists are celebrating death of God. I think some students and family members of Imam should keep Mosques alive in a way allowed in Shafii fiqh to keep muqtadis apart from each other. Rest of us should keep the stars alive at home.

  • Pashtun JI should support historical justice

    جماعت اسلامی  کے محققین اور سراج الحق  کو محمد بن ابوبکر اور حجر بن عدی کا ذکر بلند کرنا چاہیے سید مودودی جانتے تھے خلافت راشدہ کے لئے مظلوم کا ساتھ دینا کتنا ضروری ہے

  • My parents

    God globalized niqab through corona. Quote of my mother

    God made world understand the meaning of lock down in Kashmir through corona. Quote of my father

    My mother is a semi feminist who is inspired by Quranic counterfeminist femininity of Punjab.

  • Forgive me for everything without you

    وفي الدعاء المأثور :(أستغفرك من كل لذة بغير ذكرك، ومن كل راحة بغير أنسك، ومن كل سرور بغير قربك، ومن كل شغل بغير طاعتك…).

    O God forgive me for every pleasure without remembering You, for every comfort without affection for You, for every joy without Your intimacy and every activity without your obedience.

    I found it out today while studying the psychological state of uns a pet feels towards us and chosen humans feel towards Gid.
