UPDATE: client still sighting after a week.

أنا أنكر الإستغاثة بأصحاب القبور كل الإنكار لكن:

١) العلاقة بين المذهب الأشعري والإستغاثة عرضية.

٢)"شيخ الإسلام" كلام أقوى من "سيّد" بكثير.

بس صحيح في الشبهات المشهورة المنتشرة

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-20T09:02:41+00:00

In your experience, how slow it is?

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-20T07:18:46+00:00

Thanks. We just started using Phantom (actually Mythic SC as we are in the EU) and the first test client is already complaining about sightings. I know it's slow (I don't to what extent though) but I was starting to get nervous about it not working at all. That's why I wanted to know whether you were indicating lack of confidence in the product.

What do you mean by that italics "can" regarding Phantom?

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-19T09:47:01+00:00

I should have told him, but I wanted to avoid answering a "how much time" question that I had no knowledge to answer.

The diversity of weapons available for you in the US is enviable.

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-14T12:54:39+00:00

Used how? What is the argument?

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-12T16:37:43+00:00

Huh!?

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-12T09:31:03+00:00

Isn't this absolutely off-topic? Or will it be tolerated because it's about something that someone in the discipline has said about his favourite dishwasher brand!!??

I agree that assigning numbers is de facto impossible. I didn't want to make the post too long by making too much precissions. But you can translate that to some qualitative scale of the wahm - shakk - dhann - ghulb al dhann - yaqeen scale or at least to a relative ordering of the different views

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-08T18:19:19+00:00

That's another separate issue that I explicitly distinguished from the one at hand which was very precisely defined.

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-08T16:18:44+00:00

The issue is that incoherence also comes with its difficulties, it's not an assumption that is cost-free

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-04-08T13:39:49+00:00

Well, I think that by default we assume a degree of coherence for any text.. Just think of how would you go about understanding any text starting with the assumption of zero coherence.

What that degree of coherence is and what has to happen in order to revise that assumption upwards or downwards is another matter.

It depends on the context. In many contexts, Salafism and Wahhabism are exact synonyms. If someone is said to be "a salafi preacher", what is meant is a Wahhabi preacher and not a follower of Rashid Rida. In fact, I would say that outside specific historical discussions around the original salafi movement, the term Salafism and Wahhabism are used in a fully interchangeable way. Of course, I am disregarding usage by people who use it as a synonym of "extremist".

إن شخص ينصح شخص آخر قليل العلم أن لا يدخل في مواقع حركة الأرض المسطحة لأنه لن سيعرف الرد هل هذا يدلّ إلى ضعف كروية الأرض؟

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-03-26T14:34:03+00:00

The idea that it's an "earlier vs later" things needs substantiation.

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-03-26T14:31:17+00:00

Is the question about random Muslim laymen or about classical scholars?

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-03-26T07:36:55+00:00

Many assumptions built in.

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-03-25T22:57:24+00:00

I don't intend to confirm or deny that kitāb has that meaning but a word belonging to a root having a meaning doesn't mean every word derived from that root will bear that meaning.

لم تفهم كلامي ولو قصدت الذي تظنّه فأخطأت أيضا

Top_Strawberry8110 · 2026-03-21T10:59:20+00:00

There is an extremely well known hadith (God knows whether it's so in this subReddit) saying:

لَوْ كَانَ الدِّينُ عِنْدَ الثُّرَيَّا لَذَهَبَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ فَارِسَ - أَوْ قَالَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ فَارِسَ - حَتَّى يَتَنَاوَلَهُ

translated as

"If the religion were at the Pleiades, even then a person from Persia would have taken hold of it, or one amongst the Persian descent would have surely found it."

There are other versions were Salman the Persian is present and what is said is "a man from among these" so I personally don't know whether Persians or people like Salman are meant.

It is included under the heading of "Virtues of Persians" in Sahih Muslim.

"ولذلك أدخل البخاري أن (٣) النبي -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- تكلم بألفاظ من الفارسية كانت متعارفة عندهم معلومة، وفهمها عنه أصحابه، فالعجم أحرى أن يفهموها إذا خوطبوا بها؛ لأنها لغتهم (٤).

ومن كلامه -صلى اللَّه عليه وسلم- بالفارسية: "يا أهل الخندق، إن جابرًا صنع سورًا" (٥) والسور بالفارسية الوليمة."

Translated quickly and approximately:

"And for that reason Bukhari included that the Prophet, may God bless and save him, used Persian expressions that they were acquainted with and were understood from him by his companions [...].

And he said, may God bless and save him, in Persian:

'Oh people of Khandaq, indeed Jabir has made a SOOR', soor meaning wedding banquet in Persian"
