  • Comparing Salaf and Khalaf

    فضل السلف علي الخلف في التدين و فضل الخلف علي السلف في التدوين

    Salaf is preferable in spirituality and Khalaf is preferable in codification

     

  • Shia analogy and Abrahamic tree

    نحن شيعة اسماعيل عليه السلام و أهل الكتاب هم شيعة إسحاق عليه السلام و بعضنا أهل الجماعة

    Muslims can be called Shia of Ishmael while Jews and Christians can be called Shia of Isaac. Some can be the people of United community.

  • Islam and Ken Ham

    I admire Ken Ham for being less Islamophobic than Trump because he talked about outreach rather than demonization. However, YEC is supported neither by Muslims nor intelligent Christians.

  • Is modern state totalitarian?

    Modern state is more controlling and totalitarian than any traditional theocracy. At least latter could not know private thoughts.

    Heidegger predicted modernity playing God through omniscience and omnipotence.

  • Islam, Kashmir and Syed Akbaruddin

    Syed Akbaruddin glibly defended forced annexation of Kashmir at UN.

    He glorifies Hansa Mehta who is Nagar and Nagars historically combined religion and statecraft and Pakistan is exactly about combining Islam and statecraft.

    I recently read an Arabic narration among Syeds there are Antichrists. fi waladi Fatimah dajjalin. 

  • Religion and verbal ability

    Current research deals with Protestant Christianity. Jewish and Sunni Islam worldviews value scholarship over intense spiritual emotions. While Christianity and Shia Islam value intense emotions.

  • Pregnancy interrogation in traditional cultures

    If women were spiritually mature enough to be convinced that even a leaf cannot fall without will of God, this situation can improve. But due to secularization traditional cultures fall into a darkness of scripture. Even the ethical common sense becomes clouded by anti Scriptural and anti rational traditions. Even traditional secularists are more fond of polemic rather than nuance. Guftagu me ehtiyat ke liye deeni hona zaruri he ya kam az kam hikmat pasand hona.

  • Shia Sunni complementarity

    Converting to Sunni means going to sit with grandfather. Converting to Shia means going to sit with grandsons.

  • Asharis and Deists

    Dawkins is a Mutazili without God. The western counterpart of Asharis would be Deists who try to reconcile God and reason.
