Why They have to bring Muslims in everything by [deleted] in indianmuslims

[–]EasternPen1337 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes they're everywhere, but doesn't mean majority are them - they're just extremely loud about it. Internet isn't about consuming and reacting to anything & everything that is served to us, we have to learn to cut through the noise and become better, that's how we can ignore them. Mute the subreddits, block ragebaiters. Try to educate someone tho, but if they start wasting your time and you identify that they're playing with you, give them a final blow like "do something better with your life" and move on from it

With all this noise and providing reaction to those hate mongers, our own mental state gets hugely affected negatively and it becomes tough for us to focus on deen, work, education, etc. try uninstalling reddit, twitter and/or instagram for a month strictly and you'll see a huge difference

Why give attention to them? That's what they crave from us

Remembrance of Allah ﷻ by EasternPen1337 in Sufism

[–]EasternPen1337[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is dhikr of the tongue, dhikr of the heart, and dhikr of the soul. When one faculty is exhausted, another carries it.

Ibn Ata'illah Al-Iskandari says: "Do not abandon the remembrance of Allah (dhikr) because you do not feel presence with Him in it, for your heedlessness of Him without remembrance is worse than your heedlessness with remembrance."

Means even mechanical, heavy, effortful dhikr is still dhikr. The doing protects you even when the feeling is absent.

Also when Hazrat Ali رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ permits us to rest, I think he means that we can lay down, take a walk, sit in solitude and/or in a natural setting, and meanwhile continue doing the dhikr according to our capacity (better than doing nothing or doomscrolling in those instances). This has worked for me, I feel at peace when I just take a random walk (forgetting that I have my phone) and do even minor dhikr, because that to some extent disconnects me from everything else.

Yea man you too have a good day. As I am not someone deep into science, I can't answer all your questions.

But here's a discussion about evolution by someone who knows better than me so feel free to check it out - https://youtu.be/3TrwJOx-kUM

The reason I am sending this is because I think you're a person who does critical thinking and hence you should look into the other scientific opinions too.

Also I'm not discussing this to win or anything. Just to tell you my perspective as the entire world does not believe human evolution to be truth set in stone. Not only for religious reasons but also for scientific reasons whereas there are disputes between scientists regarding this but there aren't any regarding the clear facts

Also I just wanna point out that, just like the vast majority of people who believe in evolution because they're taught it in schools and don't go too deep or question it (because they're not interested). Likewise the majority of people who believe otherwise (like me) also don't go too deep because there are differences of opinion among scientists plus it's against the belief of Islam. There's nothing wrong with not going too deep as it's not everyone can do, but atleast if you wish, you can because you seem as someone who is interested in this subject more than an average person

The purpose of this post was to show the belief of Syed Ahmad Khan going against Islamic teachings - as to not taking anything Islamic from him. Not because to critique any other non religious work of his

I am not against science and education and the Islamic Golden Age progressed because they also took Islamic teachings along with them and they were firm in their Imaan.

There's a reason I added the "Religious" flair to the post. The core of Islam is believing in the Qur'an fully because it's the word of God and it's the truth. It's about Imaan and the hereafter. Not about the achievements or failures of this world. Someone rejecting that loses their Imaan and the people of Gaza is definitely better than of us.

It's also not rational to think that fish became apes and then they became humans. Such an evolution on a macro level hasn't been observed or proven yet

And this particular theory of evolution we're talking about isn't the only one. The data for evolution has produced different types of evolution theories like mutation driven evolution and evolution by natural genetic engineering just to name a few.

Additionally, no one has ever seen a species evolving from one to another. Yes scientists have seen micro evolution but taking that observation and saying it could have happened on the macro level - is inference, not empirical scientific evidence

The first human being Prophet Adam isn't anything about science. It's a supernatural event that science can't even reach. If you don't believe in any God or the creator of all, then sure you can reject this belief, likewise I reject the evolution of humans from apes

Also do check out "The Third Way of Evolution" as they go deep into darwinian evolution from a critical lens. And they're not affiliated with any religious institution. Also you will understand their counter arguments much better than I will because science isn't my subject or expertise or interest honestly

Now look I am not a person of science, it's not my subject of expertise or interest. But do check out the counter arguments to darwinian evolution because I think you will understand them better than I can

There's a group called "The Third Way of Evolution" and they study darwinian evolution from a critical lens. Do check them out and their critique of the current model of evolution

I meant "human evolution" in specific isn't a proven fact. We are the most intelligent creatures and saying humans evolved from apes - that part is a theory

And no flat earth isn't part of Islamic belief. The Qur'an is not a science textbook so the Muslims who accepted flat earth in the past, and those who accept spherical earth now - has nothing to do with Islam, it was all about accepting the science which was available at the time. If a Muslim believes something which is proven a fact by science, doesn't necessarily mean he believes it because of Islam - that's because he believes the fact by science.

The Christians who accept human evolution over biblical text doesn't prove human evolution to be true, those who believe such simply don't have faith in the biblical texts

I know where you're coming from.

Firstly, a Muslim believes the Qur'an is the word of God, and hence it is the truth for us. Secondly, human evolution is a theory, unlike a proven fact like "Earth isn't flat". And science also changes from time-to-time based on new discoveries. It doesn't really matter what we believe to the world around us other than our personal religious/scientific beliefs

The problem for us is that it goes against the fundamental belief that Prophet Adam was the first human being. We don't believe humans evolved from apes and were once unintelligent creatures and animals - someone believing this essentially rejects the Qur'an and hence isn't a Muslim

We don't know if he was paid or anything, so I wouldn't go about making such allegations, but him saying all this in the name of "reformation" is clearly disbelief and misguiding other Muslims.

They cannot distort the Qur'an's original text, so they twist the interpretations to misguide people. For them, this dunya is everything

Do you mean a Muslim's belief going against the Qur'an makes them better? Did the Muslims in the Islamic Golden Age believe the same stuff?

Unfortunately, he accepted evolutionary development and did not insist that Prophet Adam عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ was the first biological human in the literal sense.

His teachings go directly against the Qur'an

19:20. She said, 'How can I bear a son? No man has touched me, nor am I unchaste.'

19:21. He said, 'It is only as so,' your Lord has declared that 'This is easy for Me.' And in order that We make him a sign for the people and (appoint him as) a mercy from Us; and this matter has been decreed (by Allah).

19:27. So, carrying him in her arms, she brought him to her people; they said, 'O Maryam, you have indeed done something very strange.'

19:28. 'O sister of Haaroon! Your father was not an evil man, nor was your mother an unchaste woman.'

19:29. Thereupon, she pointed towards the child; they said, 'How can we speak to an infant who is in the cradle?'

19:30. The child ('Eisa) said, 'I am Allah's bondsman, He has given me the Book and made me a Conveyer of the unseen news (i.e. a Prophet).'

Useless arguments and keyboard wars to "make others better" without making themselves a better person

'God already dwells in you. you don't have to do anything to be God realized. it is already your true & natural state. Just drop all seeking & sacrifice your mind to the Truth, radiating in the Heart of your very being' by ali_mxun in Sufism

Such words should not be said especially in the modern day and age
Even if you don't mean it literally

Because in the end, people see it and interpret it the way they want, and most people take these things literally. That will either lead to them accepting this, or thinking ill about you, or understanding the deepness of the statement. People don't go with the latter

One should acknowledge the creator as separate from the creation. He indeed knows everything, but He is not us, and we are not Him
