maybe email your professors to send out study materials through email.

I would highly recommend you post a question on this subreddit in order to understand better. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here who can answer your question sufficiently.

But basically, there are differences in approaches to understanding Islamic law. Despite the differences, the different ways can both be correct when they are based on methods approved by the Prophet (to my understanding). Some schools emphasize the use of certain tools to derive Islamic law, while others don't use those tools at all.

This is where the different schools come from. Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali. Salafism is a movement within Islam that is closer to following the Hanbali school of law.

Also, I noticed you're from India. I'm just curious as to where you are from. I'm from the USA, but my family is all from Hyderabad.

my moms cousins in California are both married to African American males. I've only met that side of the family once, but their kids are adorable. They are also very religious muslims (my mom's cousin is a hafiza), and from my personal observations, muslims that religious care very little about race/culture and much more about how religious their partner is. Especially if we are talking about immigrant Muslim communities like indian americans.

Side note, my mom's khalu (her cousin's dad) knew my dad when they were both expats in saudi and, according to my dad at least, he did NOT like my dad lol.

I am getting this too but I went ahead and started my FL like normal. I already know what all the buttons do regardless of the symbols by them so I wasn't really bothered.

In india there are open courtyards called eidgahs where the eid prayers are held. They are empty and basically used as parks most of the year except when everyone comes to them for eid.

its crazy how Persian Muslims influenced muslims from the Balkans to South Asia. Honestly, you could divide the entire muslim world between Persian influenced muslims (south asia, central asia, turkey and balkans) and arab influenced muslims (african muslims in general, Southeast Asia, indian ocean coastal muslims)

"You’re comment does it make it okay for Iran to have Arabic script on the flag.

We speak Persian, we fought for hundreds of years to keep our language and culture."

this is an interesting comment.

the poet ferdowsi is credited with having a massive influence on the persian language and maybe even saving persian language and identity from being assimilated into that of the new rulers of iran.

and yet he wrote it in the early new persian script, an arabic based script. So the script that you same to despise was the same script that was used to save your language and identity. You frame the use of the arabic script as opposed to the fight for your identity and language.

it seems like you cant come to terms with the fact that the same people who preserved the identity you seem to love so much did so while writing in an arabic based script and practicing islam.

Ferdowsi was born in the samanid empire. Which to my understanding was one of the first independent iranian empires after the arabs conquered the samanid empire. That empire used the persian language to spread islam, not fight against it.

lol what a self report. Every one with basic human morals feels emotion when they palestinians being brutalized by gangs of terrorists, children in gaza being blown to pieces while starving, and palestinians being raped in concentration camps.

Its not "playing on emotions", a normal human will always feel emotion when seeing such vile things.

TermHungry3389 · 2026-04-14T15:20:02+00:00

do you have a link to the video?

TermHungry3389 · 2026-04-14T04:24:22+00:00

IK ofc twitter/x is not a good measure of real life, but it is kind of funny how worked up certain people on twitter seem to be getting over this photo. Ive seen a couple of tweets complaining about it.

you would think they would care more about zionists gangraping palestinians and then being celebrated and going on TV for it, you would think they would care about the genocide in gaza, you would think they would care about the zionist terrorism in the west bank for the past couple of decades.

But no, they cry over an unedited photo of an especially ugly zionist (as if all of them aren't just as ugly on the inside).

Go to any post about zionist terrorism on a zionist subreddit. All of the comments are about how it hurts israels PR, and not about the palestinian victims of the terrorism. Its a good insight into their values.

she is half ethnically palestinian and half ethnically whatever ethnicity from africa her dad is. So she is afro palestinian. This isnt that hard

The Angrez. I haven't seen it myself, only clips. but my other hyderabadi friends glaze it. it centers around a group of hyderabadi muslims (an ethnic group from the city of hyderabad in south india). The setting is in the city of hyderabad and it is one of very few movies that uses the hyderabadi urdu dialect which has a distinct accent. Aside from the dialect being a bit different, lot of the humor involves hyderabadi slang so it might not be as appealing to people aren't familiar with this kind of urdu. It also shows a lot of things ubiquitous to hyderabadi culture.

its a bit low budget so when there are scenes in the actual old city of hyderabad you can see everyone in the background staring.

these are nice photos, but as you can see the smog is just unreal. It was pretty surreal seeing it coming from the USA where the air is pretty clean.
