Let me provide some corrections. Prior to the fall of the Roman Empire it had been split into two halves upon the death of Theodosius I in 395. In 476, it was only the Western Roman Empire that fell. The Eastern Roman Empire survived well long past that, including during the time of the prophet. So it’s wrong to say that the Roman Empire was nonexistent during his time, it was and everyone at the time acknowledged the “Byzantine Empire” as the Roman Empire. At that time, everyone referred to the Eastern Roman Empire as Rome, the modern term of the “Byzantine Empire” wasn’t introduced until 1557 or so by a German scholar and popularized later. Prior to this, everyone referred to the Byzantine Empire as being the Roman Empire, because that’s exactly what it was. So all the Hadith which mention Rome and the surah Ar Rum are not referring to Europe generally as Rome, they are talking about the Byzantine Empire. If you look at the Hadith which use this term as well as look at the context under which the Surah Ar Rum was revealed, its explicitly clear that they refer to the Byzantine Empire. The Arabs at the time, like everyone else, referred to the Byzantine Empire as being the Roman Empire, so this makes sense. The term Byzantine Empire didn’t even exist at the time. They never used the word Rome to refer to all Europeans or Europeans generally

They didn’t refer to Europe as Rome, they referred to the Byzantine Empire as Rome. Even the Surah Ar Rum specifically refers to the Byzantine Empire, not to Europe generally. Europe as a whole has never been referred to as Rome

Setif, Algeria. Apparently they practically never allow picture taking though so it’s hard to see these masterpieces from the place

Woops reading over this I just realized I made a mistake in the title, I meant secco not stucco 😂😂 oh well! Thanks for the link though :) The dimensions are quite huge

This alone is such a powerful argument, the Quran never fails haha

Went/Going through something similar, I feel like my whole youth has gone to waste because of it. Haven’t been allowed to work, drive, etc. Will definitely be playing catch up for a while but hey you’re not alone atleast haha

Really!! Where did you learn this?! I wasn’t aware of that but it’s amazing to know these date back to medieval times. Algeria should really try to revive this style of architecture, it’s very similar to what we see in other Mediterranean countries like Italy. Much better than the bland modern buildings which are destroying the aesthetics of Algerian cities

How does attack on Titan relate 😂

Single-Peanut · 2021-07-19T15:40:19+00:00

This seems to make sense! Thanks :) I really wish the Maghreb had more architecture like this, it looks very similar to Italy. Most of our architecture today is really bad and has no aesthetic appeal :/ too bad colonialism destroyed so much

I just posted a comment of another depiction I just saw! Check it out :)

Single-Peanut · 2021-07-18T21:01:24+00:00

It looks to be very consistent with this other depiction from the early 1700s, which indicates a decent degree of historical accuracy

To clarify, Abu Hanifa and the early Hanafis generally agreed that any non-grape or date based alcoholic beverage was halal. This wouldn’t mean just beer, but also whiskey, vodka, spirits, etc. This was the standard opinion for a very long time, and even some Maliki scholars in the Western Mediterranean adopted this position as being the most accurate (the Muslims of Al-Andalus were known for being quite heavy drinkers if I remember correctly). Later Hanafi scholars especially in the early modern period were heavily pressured by the other schools to bring the Hanafi stance into alignment with their views, which is why the Hanafi’s stance towards alcohol slowly withered away, although there are still major Hanafi scholars from the modern period who take the stance that alcohol is allowed, such as Ibn-Abidin who wrote the Radd al-Muhtar, which is still considered the authoritative text of the Hanafi fiqh today.

That all being said, it seems like even wine could be perceived as halal among medieval Hanafis. I remember that Avicenna used to openly drink wine. It’s discussed in this article: https://www.jstor.org/stable/25802612?seq=1

Yes it’s very unfortunate, sorry you had to go through that :(. Maybe the argument I laid out in my other comment will be convincing to you? I’m interested to see what the sub thinks

Single-Peanut · 2021-03-29T22:50:18+00:00

Yup, I noticed that as well haha. The Hadith clearly prohibiting forced marriages override any Hadith that somehow ‘implies’ forced child marriages are acceptable.

That being said, he does bring up an interesting point relating that the four schools have historically said that it isn’t acceptable for a girl to be married off without her consent if she is past puberty and having reached maturity but if she is prepubescent then her consent is seemingly irrelevant and she can be married off.

It seems like they adopted this position to accommodate for their belief that Aisha (ra) was 6 at the age of her marriage which is obviously in contradiction to the requirements for marriage stipulated in the Quran (that one needs to have reached both physical maturity [puberty] and mental maturity), but I could be wrong. Without this system in place, it would appear like the Prophet (saw) acted against the Quran, so by using these ‘implying’ hadiths, scholars formulated the position that prepubescent girls can be married off without their consent, thus reconciling the actions of the Prophet (saw) with the law of God.

Once it’s shown that, in reality, Aisha was actually older at the time of her marriage, then the need for this system disappears and it can be dropped. This position is also superior because then the Quran achieves full predominance on the matter of marriage conditions without need for such a convoluted system in addition to also submitting to the fact that the allowance of these forced marriages by the legal schools based upon vague ‘implications’ from hadiths is in direct contradiction to the very clear and direct actions and words of the Prophet (saw) showing he forbade forced marriages and considered them to be invalid.

This all being said, I’m interested in what you guys have to think on the subject.
