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.
Dialogues with secularists/modernists
Islam, Adam Grant, humble narcissism and authenticity
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.
Comparing white Muslims and brown atheists
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.
Abdul-halim Vaz That’s a weird way to measure success.
Ishmael Abraham I think IQ of converts is not a good measure. There is a Hadith that majority of people in Paradise will be bulh having average IQ. Quran 110:2 talks about afwaj or crowds entering Islam. But even quantity is not a good measure because a Prophet existed who failed to gain a single convert. Most important thing is duration of your preaching. Noah preaching for 950 years of calendar of his time mentioned in Quran is a a good point to remember.
Hussain Murtaza Why do you want white converts specifically??. Why not Asian, subcontinent and African converts?
Ishmael Abraham Ahmadis have focused on Africa which shows the missionary neglect by mainstream Muslims.
Ishmael Abraham What I intend to state is that I want the predominantly white modern atheist movement to remain localized to its greco-roman pagan origins.
Frank G Hahn I prefer old Norse religion myself the gods and Eddic stories tell tales of old from my home land which I prefer over Middle East myths
Ishmael Abraham Christ peace be upon him civilized you otherwise you would have been annihilated from history.
The pro-Ishmaelite community must compete liberal Murji’ah in rights of servants of God
Ishmael Abraham being a Pakistani I feel ashamed for not being qualified as a nation to treat a sick traveler to our country in a compassionate and professional way.
Laura Weichselbaumer No reason for shame. There is no blame. This sickness can be found about everywhere under many different names (Costa Cramps, Dehli Belly, Montezuma’s Revenge, and on and on). If there were to be blame in the situation, then the blame would be on myself. I am a very experienced traveler, including into developing geographies. I certainly have the knowledge to have protected myself from this, but after weeks of beautiful touring in Pakistan, my diligence toward self care became lax in the last couple days. At any rate, it all works for good. I hope that you are able to put down this sense of shame and capture the message of goodness in the story, at the end. 🙂
Ishmael Abraham Thanks for your empathetic understanding. But please educate our traditional culture about improving health infrastructure because Hadith teaches that after prayers and obligatory virtues the most beloved action to God is to make believers happy. West is weak in God’s rights (huquq Allah) and East is weak in rights of servants of God. (huquq al ibaad)
Chomsky and neo-Roman liberal discipline
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.
Benazir and semi-Shia liberal theology
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.
Hawking and liberal Zionism
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.
Jordan Peterson, Church and Islam
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.
https://tifwe.org/jordan-peterson-message-for-church/
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.
https://www.gotquestions.org/Pelagianism.html
Is Jordan Peterson a Mutazilah pelagianist and an antithesis of Jabariyyah Paul of traditional Christianity?
Is God merciful? The story of Muslim saint and a poor widow
A widow had only three coins. She bought wool for it. A bird came and took away the ball of wool. She wept and went to a Muslim saint Dawud Tai. She asked him: Is God merciful? Meanwhile ten people knocked at the door. They told him that they were in the ocean and there was a hole in their ship and they were about to drown. We vowed to God, that if He saves us we will spend one thousand coins each in charity.Then a bird came and threw the ball of wool in the ship. We used that ball to block the hole and we were saved. We came on the shore and asked for a noble person. They told us about you so take these coins and spend it on the poor. The saint gave the coins to the woman and asked: Is God merciful? She wept and thanked God.
Modern scientist Dr Basil Al Taei belongs to the tribe of the same saint.
Modernist Hinduism versus Abrahamic faiths
Ishmael Abraham Those ignorant about Gospel and Quran will not be punished, only arrogant informed deniers.
Ishmael Abraham Unitarianism/Tawhid is not specific to Middle East rather prominent westerners like Isaac Newton and George Boole died as unitarians.
Ishmael Abraham I hope Hindu murderers of Kashmir and Gujarat honestly believed in Karma but they did not.
Ishmael Abraham Ecumenical perennialism tries to unite all religions against Godless modernity.
Ishmael Abraham A Hindu once said: Hinduism is everything to everyone which makes it subjective while Abrahamic truth is objective.
Ishmael Abraham Modernist scientism is an exclusive claim to truth.
