A spiritual Ishmaelite

Author: ishmaelabraham

  • Shirk of modern valentine and possible anti-shirk traditional valentine

    Chaucer corrupted Valentine. Valentine hated Roman gods. Today he is a symbol of roman golden calf and eros. Ishmaelite festivals are specifically designed to avoid hero worship and commercialization.

  • Islamic eschatology, rise of modern west and end of slavery

    Prophetic Hadith predicting the rise of modern west and end of slavery. A good tool for spiritual paradigm shift among modern humans. Orthodox Islam should be skeptical of his anti-traditionalism but he is still a lesser evil than blind anti-traditionalists.

  • Karim husbands: An Islamic text praising compassionate beta men

    عن علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال :

    ( خيركم خيركم لأهله ، وأنا خيركم لأهلي ، ما أكرم النساء إلا كريم ، ولا أهانهن إلا لئيم )

    وأنا أحب أن أكون كريماً مغلوباً من أن أكون لئيماً غالباً

    Only a noble and chivalrous person respects women, and only a mean person insults them. I would love to be a passive noble person than to be a mean aggressive person.

     

     

  • Islam and divine protection against fall from grace

    Islam teaches prayers like this in spiritually and morally threatening situations. : Allahumma inna nauzubika min ilhaahish shahwati wa shamatatil adaai: O God I ask you for your refuge and protection against impulsivity of lust and mockery of enemies. May God make the faithful firm in spirit and commandments. The Ishmaelite Prophet peace and blessings be upon him prayed: Ya Muqallibal qulub thabbit qalbi ala deenika: O God who changes hearts, make my heart firm on your faith and religion. 

  • Hijrah and Aliyah

    Ummah/spiritual community needs hijrah/aliyah out of melting pots of zina/adultery.{ I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh” (Ezekiel 36:24-26) }

    If modern secular humans cannot make hijrah/aliyah to Masjids/Churches/Synagogues, then political hijrah/aliyah will be moral and spiritual failures.

  • Post righteous kingdom and trinity/antinomianism of Ishmaelites

    The bloodshed in Syria is in the name of hatred of first post righteous king named Ameer Mu’awiyah and the bloodshed in Yemen is in the name of love of this post righteous king making it the political trinity of Ishmaelites. Or like Paul who is loved by Gentiles and hated by pronomian Semites. Both appear to disagree with the idea of genetic primacy of righteous Semites and Ishmaelitic Prophetic descendants. This line of thinking makes it plausible that Jewish Einstein had a tendency towards Shia Islam. I am a semi-Shia pro-Zaydi Sunni like Nasai and Shawkani.

    Alperovich Anatoly I would love if you explain about shia
    
    Ishmael Abraham They are like zionist rabbis of Ishmaelites. Zionist rabbis want to bring Jewish Moshiach into power while they want to bring Ishmaelite Mahdi into power. But both will be disappointed when Messiah and Mahdi ends up opposing them.
     Both need apolitical Scriptural spirituality to recognize the true Mahdi and Messiah.

  • Shia non-neutrality between wise revolt and narcissistic anarchism

    In Islamic history, a non-neutral person is called a Shia. But a non-neutral person can become a narcissistic anarchist if he lacks empathy and respect while changing the status quo. Some Sunnis can become narcissistic Uthmani Shia.

  • Liberal unitarianism, conservative unitarianism and Islam

    Ishmael Abraham is with Lenny Wheeler and Peter Bell.

    liberal unitarianism perpetuates conservative trinitarianism. God bless conservative unitarian Christians if they exist.

    Peter Bell Unitarians can be any political persuasion they like, but their common choice as I understand it is not to be liberal to preserve conservative trinitarianism but to oppose it because of the excesses of conservative trinitarian fundamentalism, which I think you agree do not help anyone and certainly not the cause of an open conversation with our Muslim brothers and sisters. Some of the local unitarians are conservative on a lot of issues, and the ones I know strongly oppose conservative trinitarianism. I’m not interested in arguing, but I am curious as to the sources for your claim here. Why do you believe that what you said is true?
    Ishmael Abraham Fundamentalists need empathetic scriptural dialogue not strong opposition. Jesus kept commandments and then had dialogue with pharisees.

     

    Kirby Hopper I don’t know about the “perpetuates” part of your post, not sure what you mean by that, but yes, there are plenty of conservative Unitarian Christians. I used to be one of them. The Bible College I went to graduated thousands of them. I think the Worldwide Church of God produced quite a few back in the day. I think Christadelphians are socially conservative, as are members of the Church of God, General Conference (aka Church of God Abrahamic Faith) and the numerous graduates of Atlanta Bible College. These are all what we call “Biblical Unitarians”, as opposed to the Unitarian Universalists which tend to be very liberal.

    The Conservatives among us however Ishmael Abraham are rarely the ones who want to even think that Islam has anything to do with God. Many will say it’s of the Devil. They are the same ones who also say people who don’t believe in Futurism, Penal Substitution Atonement, and Eternal Conscious Torment are also of the Devil. I get that judgement on a regular basis. And building bridges with Muslims? OMG, I am off my rocker according to many. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam having a common source in the God of Abraham? I’m am soooo deceived, they say.

    I’ll can say this: I rarely get bored. 🙂

    Ishmael Abraham Kirby Hopper you are right liberals are more open minded to intelligent interfaith dialogue but due to my own conservative background I cannot help but have the most respect for conservative unitarians and/or pro Torah unitarians. Or may be liberal unitarians may grow conservative through dialogue with Islam
    Kirby Hopper Ishmael Abraham understood. I try to stay away from “my goal for you is to be more like me” however I fight the urge continually. I do believe it’s better to learn to love others enough to respect their particular individual journeys through our spiritual landscape. It’s a good place from which to begin interfaith dialogue.
    Ishmael Abraham Kirby Hopper I respect your political wisdom 🙂

  • Did Prophet Muhammad really try to commit suicide?

    Even if we assume the apocryphal report to be reliable, latest research shows a link between depression and leadership. Existential depression can cure the menace of modern forced positivity. Hadith teaches that God is near sad hearts and simple old graves. In terms of Sufi unity of being, lover cannot tolerate rejection and/or absence of Beloved.

  • Future golden age of peace and Prophet Muhammad(p)

    Mutual enmity and hatred will disappear. Every harmful animal will be made harmless, so that a small boy will be able to put his hand into a snake’s mouth without being harmed, a small girl will be able to make a lion run away from her, and a wolf will go among sheep as if he were a sheepdog. The Earth will be filled with peace as a container is filled with water. People will be in complete agreement, and only Allah will be worshipped. Wars will cease…” (Ibn Majah, Kitab al-Fitan, Tradition No. 4077, 2: 1363)
