  • To a Greco-Protestant Mufti

    To a Greco-Protestant modernist Mufti:

    Salam. I am a prima scriptura believer with sentimental tendencies and our community also has a tendency of reluctance towards supernatural, but since I expect a greco-protestant cynicism from you today, I think I will be stressed to watch this video. God bless you on your journey to less narcissistic and more God-fearing Ijtihad reconstruction.

  • Dilemma of Muslim labour

    Nick Elam Muslim labor wants to lose neither identity nor rights. So divisive escalation means becoming a prisoner of conscience.

  • Divisive hermeneutics

    There are two approaches to tawil. First is that experts of sacred knowledge are qualified for that. Second, only God knows the infinite layers of meaning. The intention of latter is to discourage divisiveness in community. Which implies that a tawil which attains consensus is valid. For example, the idea of indigenous Eastern spiritual democracy is gradually attaining consensus as the tawil of Quranic concept of Shura.

  • Endangered tradition and Khalaj/Arghu

    My ancestors spoke this language similar to Azerbaijani but modernity is making it extinct. Please speak about it like animal rights activists speak about endangered species.

    علامة بيننا و بين الشيعة زيد بن علي

    – شیعہ عوام کے خواص ہیں

    زیدیہ خواص کے خواص ہیں

    اللہ کی رحمت ہو زید بن علی علیہما السلام پر

    اللہ کی لعنت ہو اعدائے زید بن علی علیہما السلام پر

    شیعہ تقیہ کرتے ہیں

    زیدیہ جہاد کرتے ہیں

    تھوڑے پانی الثماد سے مراد علم انبیاء ہے

    اور نہر اعظم سے مراد علم نبوی و علوی ہے

  • Towards indigenous democracy in Afghanistan

    To Kirby Hopper: There are obvious issues here, but the solution is not western feminism. People like my veiled zoologist mother need to be empowered to act as bridge builders and bring real change on the ground. Modern feminism due to promoting sexual revolution has actually increased abuse in traditional world by making our traditionalists even more inwardly narcissistic. This is a common Abrahamic issue which needs be addressed by putting away Greek hubris for a moment. I wish you meet women of my family some day and enlighten America about our stories. Afghans are modern Maccabees who even reject democratic Islamists. But this article shows an open mindedness towards an indigenous spiritually democratic statecraft.

  • Does Indian poverty cause self hatred?

    I am a Hindko speaking Muslim. We should benefit from best of both worlds. If India can ally with monotheistic Israel which has European culture, why not ally with monotheists of Indian culture. Or does poverty cause self hatred.

  • Can spiritual status be quantified?

    I and my wife discussed the paradox of quantifying the relative status of a high IQ neo traditionalist compared to an average IQ pious modernist in context of historical tafzeel debate.

  • West and Quranic world order

    West should change its name for a more scientific name if they don’t like sunset at beach. By the way Quranic story talks about a just leader exploring western most horizon which is intended to prove that a Quranic world order would be more just than Columbus and wounded knee massacre.
