Ali Bin Al-Husayn(p) said: ‘No one feels awe of these two (eclipses) nor is anyone intimidated by these two Signs except the one
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.
{ 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.

Regardless of the fake news, may this message reach Rowan Atkins. The post was written assuming he has died: Quran talks about exploring commonalities with your audience. I vividly remember the day of my youth when my orthodox father called us to his bedroom during the unexpected sunnah time of afternoon nap to share with us something important: Mr Beans. But what appealed to him in this century when political scientists with imperial mindsets declare a clash of civilizations. It was ethical humour which I think is a universal value as effective in outreach as interfaith and intercultural dialogue. Although on close scrutiny an ultra orthodox Muslim would find the naked Mr Beans at the pool objectionable like the angry face he made towards the sky at a funeral but his humour did not habitually employ modern sexual revolution or modern atheist blasphemy. Although he appeared to be a secular person but I would blame it on intellectual and moral failures of Christianity.
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.
The word saighan is related to comfort of swallowing in context of milk.
People with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing and may even experience pain while swallowing (odynophagia). Some people may be completely unable to swallow or may have trouble safely swallowing liquids, foods, or saliva. When that happens, eating becomes a challenge. Often, dysphagia makes it difficult to take in enough calories and fluids to nourish the body and can lead to additional serious medical problems.
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.

Sex positive religions end up sexualising spirituality instead of spiritualising intimacy. I think Islam achieves that without sexualising spirituality. Hadith teaches that the best transient happiness in this world is being intimate with a spiritual wife. Even the infinite bliss in the next world is sensual in nature which western Christians criticize because they believe in an asexual heaven.

أبه جِنَّة؟
Is he possessed by demons/jinn?
فأخبر أنه ليس بمجنون
They said: He is not mad/majnun.
It means that jinns may be a traditional allusion to psychosis, or at least psychosis is a natural subset of supernatural possession.
To a Christian who calls atheism irrelevant:
You call atheism irrelevant which means you are ignorant. Atheists are spending most of their time hating God which has started to export apostasy to Middle East which will lead to WWIII. We know how to defend our faith. West does not care about faith anymore. Prophet Jesus(p) is coming soon as a Muslim to defeat trinity, sodomy and apostasy while western Christianity sleeps.
A modernist Muslim calls beating children and homophobia ignorant:
Those who beat children represent traditional narcissism and Sunnah cures it which teaches that ideal faith is not possible without being an ideal parent.
Those who support homosexual defiance represent modern narcissism and Sunnah also cures it through an enabling culture of self-directed neuroplasticity.
