The legacy of Nathan peace be upon him also relates to Ishmaelites. There is an intra-Ishmaelite debate whether the House of God or the Prophetic flesh and blood is superior. David peace be upon him wanted to build House of God, and Nathan understood the significance of Prophetic flesh and descendants. Rather than pitting both against one another, we should work for synergy like you are a living synergy of faith and reason.

Why am I non-blind admirer of Imam Busairi?
A Shia friend criticizes Sola Scriptura believers for calling Naat a heresy.Ishmael Abraham I love Qasida Burda because Imam Busairi also wrote poetry against Jews and Christians. But I think bhar do jholi, manzur dua karna, and khoti qismat karo khari were not written by alim poets.I love this: لَوْ نَـاسَـبَتْ قَـدْرَهُ آيـَاتُهُ عِظَمـاً أَحْيَـا اسْمُهُ حِيْنَ يُـدْعَى دَارِسَ الرِّمَمِIf his miracles were proportionate (according) to his (A) rank in greatness, then his (A) name, when called out, would have brought decaying bones back to life.The miracle of Quran is greater than supernatural miracles because it will inspire informed faith in an age of naturalism. -
Thanking a complimentary Shia friend, after God made me see the Shia-Sunni complementarity :)
Hussain Murtaza Dr Muhammad Iqbal didn’t have Facebook when he was 29. You must be a genius to be diversely well educated and knowledgeable at 29. My Android isn’t too comfortable with Facebook these days, I apologize if the “complimentary” note is a short one.Hussain Murtaza It is really getting on my nerves how often people confuse “complimentary” and “complementary.”If I say nice things about you, then I am giving you a compliment and so I am being complimentary (note the “i” in the middle). If you and I have different skills that make us work together in a more complete way than we could do individually, we complement each other. So we are complementary (note the “e” in the middle). See “complimentary” and “complementary” at Merriam-Webster for more information.The version to use when you mean that something is free is “complimentary.”Ishmael Abraham Thanks for being complimentary. I thank One God for seeing the Shia-Sunni complementarity. Dr. Iqbal is said to visit orthodox scholars Anwar Shah Kashmiri and Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi. But we need a greater pious modernist- orthodox traditionalist complementarity. I can see such complementarity in relationship of Mustafa Tabatabai and Ayatollah Borqei. -
The woman I love: Zain Bhika and weakening the root of sexual revolution
The Woman I Love Lyrics
For as long as, I remember
You were there for me
A young woman, growing older
But always mum to me
My heaven lies under your feetNow I look at you and there’s a few more, wrinkles and lines
But I still see the same beautiful smile
And it hurts to know someday the light will fade from your eyes
Cos you’re the woman I love
You’re the mother I love, my mother
You’re the woman I loveLife just passes by
a fragile butterfly
I thank Allah to have you by my sideIt seemed my heart beat, a little faster
The day I held your hand
We were young then, learning together
To love and understand,
You helped me to be who I amNow after all these years, I look at you, my beautiful bride
My whole life is right there in your eyes
And Allah allows me every day to wake up with your smile
‘cos you’re the woman I love
You’re the woman I love, my wife
You’re the woman I loveLife just passes by
a fragile butterfly
I thank Allah to have you by my sideHow could I, describe the feeling
of holding you that day
From the moment, of your first breath
You stole my heart away,
There’s nothing about you I’d changeNow I will stand by you, as you spread your wings, in this great big world
But you’ll always be my little girl
And I pray Allah will keep me by your side long enough for you to learn
That you’re the woman I love
You’re the woman I love, my daughter
You’re the woman I loveCos Life will pass us by
you are my fragile butterfly
I thank Allah to have you by my sideThe greatest blessing
That I have
Are the women in my life…Performed: Zain Bhikha

Discussing the linguistic and mystic definitions of bulh or the evil blind person with a mufti (a specialist of legal opinions)
Muhammad Mushrraf Well. It is very much difficult to translate “Bulh” in hadith with what was done by that guy.Brother is referring to Freddie Mercury and another hypocritical anti-gay politicianIshmael Abraham Both of these men were informed about western culture and uninformed about One God and His Messengers(as).Ishmael Abraham I love this definition: عن أبي عثمان : الأبله هو الأبله في دنياه ، الفقيه في دينهThe saint Abu Uthman An Nahdi says: Bulh means someone unaware about his worldliness and someone with deep cognitive and sentient understanding of his religion.Ishmael Abrahamعن عاصم الأحول ، قال : بلغني أن أبا عثمان النهدي كان يصلي ما بين المغرب والعشاء مائة ركعةIt is said that this saint who offers his definition used to offer 100 units of prayer between sunset prayer and night prayerIshmael Abrahamعبد القاهر بن السري : عن أبيه ، عن جده ، قال : كان أبو عثمان من قضاعة ، وسكن الكوفة ، فلما قتل الحسين ، تحول إلى البصرة وقال : لا أسكن بلدا قتل فيه ابن بنت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمWhen Prophetic grandson, peace be upon him, was martyred, he migrated to Basra from Kufah while saying: I will not live in the city where the son of the daughter of Messenger(s) of God was martyred.Ishmael Abrahamقال : وحج ستين مرةIt is said that the same saint performed Hajj pilgrimage 60 times. -
Can the Gospel Coalition Australia embrace the Newtonian prima scriptura?
Wow. Shalom the divine peace may be upon those who follow divine guidance. This was an amazing reading. I am wondering why it is without comments for almost an year. This perfectly describes the historical trajectory of not only Christendom but the same ideas apply to birth of Karaite movement in Jewry and Salafi movement in the Ishmaelite world. This is an important sentence: Sola Scriptura does not promise, and does not deliver, an infallible church. There is a debate in our faith tradition about the meaning of the the sacred texts about the interplay between Quran and Prophetic praxis at the historical advent and the continuing interplay between Quran and Prophetic descendants. The Twelver doctrine treats Prophetic descendants as infallible. The Sunni doctrine treats the consensus of the entire community as infallible. The middle community or the Ishmaeltic Ebionites called the Zaydis who are the pro-Sunnah Shias treat individual Prophetic descendants as fallible but consensus of Prophetic descendants to be infallible. I also think that if one absolutely rejects the mystic tradition in favour of blindly anti-traditionalist Sola Scriptura, one can end up being a deist and finally an atheist. So, a think one should be skeptically traditionalist rather than being an anti-traditonalist while being a sola scriptura missionary. God bless you and may he guide you to Arian Catholic sainthood, Newtonian sola scriptura unitarianism and pronomianism of Ebionites. There is no salvation without first and greatest commandment to love our Creator especially with all our MINDS. I hope they are Scriptural enough to publish my Ebionitic comment.

Quran 24:23, the evil-blind bulh and ghafilat: Freddie Mercury and fall from grace of an anti-gay politician
My father won a scholarship to study at Maryland but he chose to return due to consumerist obsession although he did not appreciate the current sexual obsession two decades ago. I stumbled here as I was researching about Parsi singer Freddie Mercury who hated his past so much that he even changed his name from Farokh which means the happy person in Persian and Persian mystic Ghazali has written Alchemy of Happiness on the concept of psychological and soteriological happiness. Modern culture is glorified by western politicians as ‘offering’ creative destruction of the traditional world. This is natural and logical because absence of spiritual light of first commandment only zoological darkness will prevail. Even a Parsi scientist of Pakistani origin ended up being pulled by the black hole of sexual revolution. His case is curious for traditionalists because he died of AIDS. This lawmaker corroborates another Hadith that majority of inhabitants of Paradise will be those who are bulh/blind in materialistic and secular sense but enlightened in the spiritual and scriptural sense. Which implies that when people acquires secular, materialistic and political awareness, but do not have spiritual enlightenment most of them end up being victims of zoological instincts themselves after being provoked by the external fire. Like a Pakistani surgeon died of Congo fever after operating a patient suffering from Congo. God praises such evil-blind women of faith in Quran 24:23. God bless my evil-blind zoologist mother who chose not to work in intermingling corporate culture and still she does not use facebook like my father. -
Buddhism and Xinjiang: What orthodox Muslims do not know about Bukhari
A Buddhist scholar decodes the original language of the word Bukhari which is the second most sacred Hadith text in Islam after Quran. Bukhara in Sodgian means ‘A fortunate place’.The finding of manuscript fragments of the Sogdian language in China’s Xinjiang region sparked the study of the Sogdian language. Robert Gauthiot, (the first Buddhist Sogdian scholar) and Paul Pelliot, (who while exploring in Dunhuang, retrieved Sogdian material) began investigating the Sogdian material that Pelliot had discovered. Gauthiot published many articles based on his work with Pelliot’s material, but died during the First World War.I think Islam starting spreading in Xinjiang during Rashidun Caliphate. -
Hebraic Biblical Unitarians and circumcision: Congratulating an Australian Shia Muslim revert brother on adult circumcision
Ryan Morgan Christison
10 hrs ·The last goodbye.
Imagine the pain of Abraham peace be upon him without any injections during those times. May be that is part of the reason he was blessed with spiritual leadership of humanity. God talks about him fulfilling the test of commandments in Quran 2:124. God bless you too and make you a spiritual leader of your community. Ameen.I have also heard that people celebrated circumcision during the spiritual golden age.Hebraic Biblical Unitarians can understand the Scriptural significance of this commandment the best in the western world. -
Givaudan and Swiss Arabian: How sunnah of alcohol free perfumes contributes to synthesis of civilizations
Today someone brought Swiss Arabian alcohol free perfume in my house. I also learned that even Sola Scriptura scholars like Ibn Uthaymeen do not consider perfumes with alcohol content less than 1/20th part of it, to be forbidden according to divine commandments.God is beautiful and loves beauty according to Hadith, so the orthodox community should promote this sunnah to help promote a modernity-compatible super-traditionalism in the 21st century.We have a strain of mystic self neglect in the traditional culture which can occur in celibate forms of catholicism, but reviving sunnah has the heavenly reward equivalent to martyrs.
