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.
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)
I share indifference towards games with him, and like Muslims he tried a romance with his cousin. His poem the revolt of Islam shows that he was aware of religious landscape of the world. His phase of pantheistic mysticism could have enlightened through Sufi mysticism. This is my desperate attempt to find common ground.
My message to Adam Grant:
I read your thoughts about humble narcissism and authenticity.
Islam teaches a middle path between passive monasticism and machiavellian action. Hadith teaches about self rights. The first Caliph taught: If I am right, cooperate with me. If I am wrong correct me.
Shariah or sacred law is an example of outside in transformation. When we grow our beards and cover our heads, we act pious and then the inward spiritual journey tries to reach the spiritual utopia the sacred outside represents.
I pray to Allah to make Muslims be more spiritually interactive to make the rate of rise in white converts to Islam higher than that of brown atheists.
He doesn’t seem to like modern educated orthodox Muslims who can change both modern and traditional societies because he seems to like neo-roman liberal discipline.
Her father was a liberal Shia. His name means the double edged sword of Ali the Commander of the Faithful. Ali fought a civil war against Mother of Believers called Jamal which shows that Shia faith is the death of political feminism. Ironically his father opposed a democratic Islamist leader who has the DNA of Commander of the faithful, her Shia faith ascribes to. So, her liberal theology is not internally consistent. I admire how she had the self respect to cover her head and how she disagreed with self hating Ayan Hirsi Ali whose country Somalia does not seem to have ecumenical thinkers like in Pakistan. Her symbolic head covering is sufficient for me to conclude that she did not agree with western sexual revolution although her liberal theology makes it nearly impossible to criticize it. I pray for empowerment of Muslim women based on liberation theology rather than anarchist and narcissistic feminism which seems to explain the highest divorce rate in the world in US. His marriage with a secular traditional male of average IQ may be a hint of the psychological fact that narcissistic women prefer weak marriage partners. I respect her more than western feminists but lesser than an American woman of faith Margaret Marcus who sensed the imminent sexual revolution with foresight and migrated to Pakistan.
Stephen Hawking I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark.
Strippers made his anti-Zionism a hellenistic/hedonistic project like liberal Zionists. Zionist bombs are controlled by computers. And liberal zionist culture is promoted by broken computers like him. Pious anti-Zionists are more afraid of darkness of modernity than happiness of a death during activism.
I am also happy to see you approach him through the lens of antinomianism a relatively more important element of modern Christianity than even traditional Christianity. In Islam, an outspoken wife can be a gift for moral and spiritual progress because one of the Mothers in Islam was outspoken scholar of sacred law, but she also repented after she participated in a civil war which shows that even feminism with good intentions can have tragic consequences.

The truth of Islamic qadar and jihad an nafs lies between Jabariyyah quietism of antinomian Christianity and Mutazilah pelagianism of free will. To some Catholics, he is a modern Pelagian.

Is Jordan Peterson a Mutazilah pelagianist and an antithesis of Jabariyyah Paul of traditional Christianity?
