A spiritual Ishmaelite

Ibn Arabi’s mysticism seems an anti physical departure from reality and Sirhindi’s mysticism seems naturalistic.

I think Imam Nasai is the leader of orthodox antinomianism in Muslim world, who refused to hate or love first anti democratic Caliph and pope of Islam.

Peter Bell Fight or flight or freeze is how animals react to threats. Eastern secularists want to become rich but do not have license of prosperity gospel nor IQ required for white collar crimes so they resort to crude forms of corruption. And, both nomian and antinomian orthodoxy is generally not tempted towards golden calf so far. My own father came back from US and lived a very authentic and transparent life in East.

If we realize we are not entitled to happiness and even happiness and sadness are just acting biochemicals, we may become happier in long term.

To Avellina Ballestri a roman catholic: In Islam, we have the paradox of a pious dictatorial pope called Mu’awiyah. Anti traditionalists think his autocracy is obvious, but there are fideistic Sufis who think he is the mystery of conservative culture who deserves emotional attachment due to his personal piety because the alternative is Godless socialists. For the same reason I feel uncomfortable around liberal unitarian Christians. I learned that Christadelphians are conservative unitarians but still millenia of rich history does not compare to greek rootlessness. I would be happy if I met an Arian Catholic but that needs both richness of tradition and richness of scripture and most modern westerners are not ready for it yet. But this is the most honest and tolerant form of fideistic trinitarisnism I may have even witnessed. In a world of radical modernity, Catholicism is most radical traditionalism, but maybe in 22nd century, people may be better able to get over current polarized anti centrism towards optimal centrism of Islam, which represents not just a Protestant Catholic prima scriptura optimization but even more fundamental Judeao-Christian optimization through the glory of Ishmael peace be upon him whom One God hears.

According to Hadith women of believers will run towards pseudo feminist Antichrist and faithful husbands must become spiritually assertive to stop that.

Peter Bell This is not a straightforward saying but is heavily nuanced and “tricky.” It implies (by stating “pseudo feminist”) that there is a healthy and authentic form of feminism which is more consistent with Christ than with Antichrist, and that it will be a good thing for believing women (and believing men as well) to follow this kind of feminism for the liberation of women from the centuries of bondage they have been under. The same faithful husbands who oppose “pseudo-feminism” will do well to embrace this true feminism in the name of faithfulness to their brides and to God. I can fully agree with this, though it is not stated in your quote (summary) from Hadith here but only implied.

Mónica Caro Həsənova There is a research paper that five daily prayers of Salah cause parasympathetic activation in brain which means it is both a biblical yoga and scientific tranquilizer.

Sufism is about returning to simplicity of discourse as in a village. Simple ideas+ simple living. First sufi was Abu dhar who spent last part of his life in a faraway village with his wife because politicians hated him for criticizing their over luxurious lifestyle. He said 2.5 percent annual charity is not enough rather we should spend every object of luxury on the poor.

I do not have intellectual and spiritual stamina to read cover from cover during engineering studies , so I use Sawab ul Amaal, to know the fruits of each surah and choose the one which best resonates with my current state of mind. It’s like having a human tutor with you along the book
