If you are a Christian who hates deserts and is jealous of Ishmaelites having oil should not forget the biblical promise to make them a great nation, so God does not need oil to revive first and greatest commandment. If you are a secularist, then deserts are part of our nature and ecosystem, so you cannot hate people for being closer to nature than machines.

War of globalized sexual revolution against orthodox traditionalists
Jim Englert Medieval scholastics had an adage, corruption optimi pessima / the very best thing, when corrupted, is the worst thing of all. Genuine religious faith, grace drawing us into divine life, is the optima, the fulfillment of human life for which we are destined. When that is corrupted, as it is in such farce as today, it becomes worse than secularism. Secularists ignore the Transcendect, at worst deny it. But corrupted religious folks deface Transcendence, disfigure it, such that the world turns away from it in horror. And, yes, this saddens me. Deeply.
Responding to an inconsistent modernist criticism of a sensual Paradise
To anti-blasphemy dictatorial followers of Prophetic praxis
السلام عليکم اللہ شھدائے خلافت ام المومنين رضی اللہ عنھا کے بھائی محمد بن ابوبکر رضی اللہ عنہ ، عمار بن ياسر رضی اللہ عنہ اور حجر بن عدی رضی اللہ عنہ کی روحوں پر رحم فرماۓ اور سب سنيوں کو عثمان بن عفان رضی اللہ عنہ والا صبر و حلم عطا فرماۓ جنھوں نے جان دے دی ليکن ہابيل کی طرح تنقيد کرنے والوں کے خلاف تلوار نہيں اٹھائی
To anti-blasphemy dictatorial followers of Prophetic praxis, that is pro-Umayyad Sunnis: May God be merciful to the souls of martyrs of righteous Caliphate which include the brother of Mother of Believers among others, and may God bless all Sunnis with the patience and tolerance of third Caliph who like Abel sacrificed his life but did not use force against his protesting critics.

Only the lovers of Prophetic family feel the awe of eclipses

who was from our lovers . So if (these Signs) have happened, so be in awe of Allah Mighty and Majestic, then return to Him’
-Al-Kafi
Only the genuinely faithful experience transcendental awe of natural events to the fullest.
Tank McNamara and sectarianism
{ Sunni Islam is a prime example and has several sects (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafiʿi, Hanbali, and Ẓāhirī) that vary rather significantly.} Being a Prima Scriptura Hanafi I do not think they are sects rather they are schools because we disagree on minor issues like where to place hands during prayers. You can say that Hanafi Ottomans and Salafi Saudis politicized this divide but even now the major Salafi scholar Albani had a Hanafi father with a degree of mutual respect. Even Sunni Shafiis and Zaydi Shias have a history of co-existence in Yemen before Iranian and modernist influence. Modern hypersexuality provokes our sectarian narcissism as a defense mechanism against temptations. because both sexual and sectarian other is seen through a xenophobic lens. I have transcended all the sects and now I follow an intra-Ishmaelic and even intra-Abrahamic conservative anti-secular ecumenism.

Intellectual and political awe and secular disenchantment
حدثنا علي بن الحسين، عن علي بن حسان، عن عبد الرحمن بن كثير، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) في قوله عز و جل: { أَتَىٰ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ فَلاَ تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ }.
قال: ” هو أمرنا، أمر الله عز و جل أن لا يستعجل به حتى يؤيده الله بثلاثة أجناد: الملائكة، و المؤمنين، و الرعب،
Tafsir Al-Bahrani Quran 16:1
The sacred texts of Islam suggest that God grants victory to faith through a sense of awe as mentioned in Quran 18:18. Currently secular philosophy has monopolized the sense of intellectual and political awe but even secularism will undergo a disenchantment in future God willing.
Did God know Himself before big bang?

I asked the Prophetic descendant (p) , ‘Did God, the Majestic, the Glorious, know
Himself before He created the creation?’” He replied, “Yes, He knew Himself.” I
further asked, “Did He see and hear His Own Self?” He replied, “God did not need
such things because He did not ask or demand it. He is His Own self and His Own self is He. His power is dominant and He does not need to name His Own self. He chose His Own name for the sake of others so they can call Him. Until one is not called by means of his names he is not recognized. The fist name He chose for His Own self was the Most
High, the Great because He is above all things. It then means that Allah and His name al-‘Ali al-‘Azim is His first name. The Most High, He is above all things.
