The pro-Ishmaelite community must compete liberal Murji’ah in rights of servants of God

ishmaelabrahamLeave a comment
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)

When both Umawis and Rafizis oppose you

To a Shia brother who calls me a Nasibi:

When both Umawis and Rafizis oppose you, then know you are upon truth.

Brother may Allah help you grow in ilm and hilm. I have abandoned sectarian labels long ago. You will always fail in proving sectarian labels on me. You don’t know that sectarian Deobandis consider me an undercover Shia because I follow the manhaj of Imam Nasai. But you do not know who are the real enemies of Imam Al-Mahdi. God bless you.

Between anarchist narcissism and pacifist self annihilation

ishmaelabrahamLeave a comment

The cure to anarchist narcissism and pacifist self-annihilation is following a just and moderate leader. The challenge is to recognize that unsung hero or even heroes. Quran teaches the state of guidance requires increasing the level of sacrifice and struggle.

Nick Elam “Moderate” in this day and age means continuing the status quo, and that is unacceptable.
Ishmael Abraham One can have a moderate ideology but a tempered radical strategy like Karbala.

 

Nick Elam I would argue that my views are only really radical in America where the Overton window is tightly controlled. When imperialist exploitation is the norm, I guess anything outside of that is by definition radical.
Ishmael Abraham Fb seems to have started to enforce that window.
If liberals overcome their spiritual anarchism, they can find allies among compassionate ant-imperial conservatives.

Urdu poetry about war torn Muslim children

ishmaelabrahamLeave a comment

Urdu poetry about tragedy of Muslim children being killed. One of the verses says that the child realizes that it is not a video game.

شاید اک درندہ ہو گا
یا اک برف کا پتلا ہو گا
انساں کی شکل کا یا پھر
چلتا پھرتا روبوٹ ہو گا
روبوٹ جس نے بھیجا ہو گا
اسکا کون سا مذہب ہو گا
کس نے اسکو خریدا ہو گا
کس قیمت پر بیچا ہو گا
کیا کیا کہ کر بھیجا ہو گا

جس پل وہ قیامت آی تھی
بندوق کو اس نے تانا ہو گا
بیگ کو اس نے چھینا ہو گا
خوف کو اس نے دیکھا ہو گا
پھول سا بچہ سمٹا ہو گا
دل یوں زور سے دھڑکا ہو گا
ماں کو اس نے ڈھونڈا ہو گا
تڑپ تڑپ کے چیخا ہو گا
جس فرش پہ ٹانگیں کانپیں اسکی
اک بار تو وہ بھی لرزہ ہو گا
اک بار تو چھت بھی کانپی ہو گی
ہوا کا زور بھی ٹوٹا ہو گا
کیا پھر ایسا ممکن ہے
انسان کا دل نہ پگھلا ہو گا
پتھر کا بت نہ ٹوٹا ہو گا
یا پھر وہ اک روبوٹ ہو گا

ہاں بچہ بھی یہ سمجھا ہو گا
جیسی اسکی ویڈیو گیم ہے
اس جیسا یہ منظر ہو گا
گیم ختم تو بات ختم
دکھ کی یہ سوغات ختم
پھر سے سب کچھ زندہ ہو گا
پھر سے ہاتھ میں بستہ ہو گا
موت، کفن، قبر، دفن
وہ تو یہ نہ سمجھا ہو گا
گیم ختم نہ ہونے پر
دل اسکا کیسے ٹوٹا ہو گا
ماں کو جب وہ ترسا ہو گا
باپ کا راستہ تکتا ہو گا
اک حشر کا عالم چھایا ہو گا
بس یہ مجھے بتلا دو مونا ،
اس ظالم نے کیا پایا ہو گا….؟؟

Happiness and love for Prophetic family

ishmaelabrahamLeave a comment

The disciple said: When I am alone with Satan, I become unhappy but when I remember my love for Prophetic family, I become happy. The scholar said: Religion is all about love as mentioned in Quran 3:31.

أبو عبيدة الحذّاء : دَخَلتُ عَلى أبي جَعفَرٍ عليه السّلام ، فَقُلتُ : بِأَبي أنتَ واُمّي ، رُبَّما خَلا بِيَ الشَّيطانُ فَخَبُثَت نَفسي ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرتُ حُبّي إيّاكُم وَ انقِطاعي إلَيكُم فَطابَت نَفسي ؟ فَقالَ : يا زِيادُ ، وَيحَكَ ! و مَا الدّينُ إلَّا الحُبُّ !! ألا تَرى إلى قَولِ اللهِ تَعالى : إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ

Story of repentance of an alcoholic Prophetic descendant

ishmaelabrahamLeave a comment

A Prophetic descendant was a professed alcoholic. He once visited a student of knowledge for some help, but he did not allow him to enter his home, so he came back sadly. During journey to pilgrimage, a scholar among Prophetic descendants did not allow that student to enter his presence, so he wept. When he wept he was allowed to enter. He asked why he was refused although he loved the Prophetic family. He replied: Because you refused entry to my cousin. He wept again and stated: I only did this so that he repents from alcohol. The scholar replied: Respect them any way otherwise you will become a loser. When he came back, the same cousin came again. This time the student respected him a lot. The cousin was surprised. Then he told him the story of the scholar during pilgrimage. He felt guilty and repented. He came back to home and destroyed the bottles of alcohol, and started spending time in Masjid until death and then he was buried near a pious female Prophetic descendant.

This is an important lesson for physical Jews.

Sufi presuppositionalism and sexual revolution.

Imam Marc Manley

That every Islamic school I’ve come across does not have, as a part of their overall curriculum, classes dealing with the foundational philosophical and intellectual challenges young Muslims will face in this society — waiting instead for them to be ambushed in college — only reveals how out of touch we are with ourselves.

Islam in America will not perpetuate itself. It will be an act of determination.

 

Sufi presuppositionalism is successfully resisting sexual revolution, and if sexual revolution is not resisted, even Razi and Averroes cannot save your faith.
