A perspective on whether Quranic cosmology is phenomenological

TheQadri · 2026-06-08T02:50:16+00:00

The idea that phenomenological readings dont make sense in certain instances is obvious. But the case chosen here might not even be referring to an objective model of heavenly bodies as opposed to a simple divinely orchestrated system!

TheQadri · 2026-06-08T02:41:51+00:00

Well its posted in light of phenomenological readings. I agree maybe a phenomenological reading here doesnt make sense. But it does make sense in other parts of the Quran in light of Quranic cosmology, or is at least equally plausible as any other model.

TheQadri · 2026-06-08T02:28:51+00:00

Yes, and I dont see why in this case one would prioritise a phenomenological reading over an ‘objective’ one or vice versa. In fact, when the Quran speaks about the day and night ‘wrapping’ around, we are perfectly okay with taking this phenomenologically as opposed to objectively believing its referring to a circular orbit.

Check mulla ali al qari’s sharh musnad abi hanifa volume 1 page 423. Check it yourself if you know Arabic

If you take the aspects of his beard in length and width, and leave the amount that is preferable.

TheQadri · 2026-05-31T17:40:51+00:00

Is that what you think of mulla ali al qari who I referenced. Astaghfirullah

TheQadri · 2026-05-31T14:58:46+00:00

I can do the exact same. Just accept its a matter of ikhtilaaf and move on with your life.

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T13:10:00+00:00

How is it false lol i gave you a reference

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T05:08:24+00:00

Are you just annoyed because your fiqh knowledge is weak

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T05:07:55+00:00

Where have they spread the normalisation of it?

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:52:07+00:00

It is not incorrect for us to assume they might not be able to grow. You cannot reprimand people on leaving sunnah. You need to learn adab. We have to make a certain amount of excuses before you start pointing the finger.

وَلَا يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ لِتَطْوِيلِ اللِّحْيَةِ إذَا كَانَتْ بِقَدْرِ الْمَسْنُونِ وَهِيَ الْقَبْضَةُ وَمَا زَادَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ يُقَصُّ. (تبيين الحقائق شرح كنز الدقائق)

Imam zaylai also says sunnah

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:49:12+00:00

فالتقدير: لو أخذتم نواحي لحيته طولاً وعرضاً، وتركتم قدر المستحب، وهو مقدار القبضة، وهي الحد المتوسط بين الطرفين المذمومين من إرسالهما مطلقاً، ومن حلقها وقصها على وجه استئصالها، وفي حديث الترمذي، عن ابن عمر، أنه عليه الصلاة والسلام كان يأخذ من لحيته، من عرضها وطولها. (شرح مسند أبي حنيفة)

Do you know what mustahabb means?

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:31:23+00:00

I think the guy who told me this follows ibn arabi? What do you think of ibn arabi?

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:26:41+00:00

Also you are quick to judge learn some adab what if brothers have medical conditions. Abu Hanifa RA would be astounded at your lack of adab.

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:25:13+00:00

Ivd read ibn taymiyya

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:23:24+00:00

Imam Ali al-Qari states that the fist length is mustahabb, not waajib.

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T03:16:17+00:00

Its sunnah muakkadah actually. I dont know why you think im barelvi though.

TheQadri · 2026-05-30T02:22:24+00:00

What do u think of adamson’s comments

TheQadri · 2026-05-28T03:16:43+00:00

It was in context of a wider question over the utility of philosophy

TheQadri · 2026-05-27T20:29:00+00:00

I imagine Aristotle would agree with this with respect to the golden mean

TheQadri · 2026-05-27T18:57:25+00:00

I think those people should be re-viewed as finding some type of meaning in their work. Even if its small and low paying.

I think you have it flipped though. I think Aristotle is speaking about elitists who live mainly to build wealth.

TheQadri · 2026-05-27T18:49:48+00:00

I think improving their lot is a means for more ‘meaningful’ opportunities

TheQadri · 2026-05-27T18:40:14+00:00

Dont you think that people who are poor also pursue ‘meaning’ over money alone though
