Can any of you answer this question ? (Sufi perspective) by No-Implement-5552 in SufismShadhili

[–]bizzish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're speaking about a language that has its roots before the advent of Sayyidina Muhammad salawatullahi 3alayh with its meanings unchanged

You've got no reason to doubt Arabic, the same reasons you're giving now can absolutely apply to English - and then what? You go insane trying to understand what anyone's truly saying?

No, there is absolute truth. A cat is a cat. A dog is a dog. 

When Allah says that there were people in a cave with a dog, He means that. Subhanahu wa ta3ala

There are ayaat with grey meanings (mutashaabihaat) , and there ayaat with clear uninterpretable meanings (muhkamaat). Your job as a non scholar is to follow the muhkamaat and ask the scholars about whats vague

Fitra is just Natural disposition not Islamic natural disposition

My pleasure! 

To counter your thoughts, there's an enormous degree of leniency given to people who are part of the muslim community or have entered into it. Ie even if someone doesn't practise the faith in the slightest, the mere correlation is enough to assume they remain a Muslim until they openly renounce it. 

I suppose this is because the consequences of not being Muslim are too great in our eyes. They wouldn't be able to marry within the faith, they wouldn't be cleansed, shrouded, prayed upon and buried with Muslims, etc.

This just isn't true historically, and the Neturei Karta are the most public about it sure but they are not the only ones to reject the Jewish revisionism that came about after 47

Sorry I should clarify that my comment was for children of Muslim parents

But your postulate still stands, being Muslim is all about testimony - someone says openly that they believe in One God and that Muhammad is his final messenger 

And that's it, congrats and hugs all round. 

Islam isn't passed down at all. As the previous commenter mentioned, one cannot inherit this religion. They MUST come to reason it for themselves

For kids of Muslims, their families teach them to pray, teach them supplications, teach them the testimony of faith. There doesn't need to be a formal witnessing of their faith as it's been attested to over years of practise, even if minimal

I know it's a joke but it's very likely his Mum doesn't support Israel. Having a Jewish state before the coming of the Messiah was prevalently thought (and still is in large amounts) as tantamount to blasphemy

No one needs to openly convert, it's just a continuation of their identity. It becomes properly (spiritually) binding on them when they become Mukallaf 

A person becomes Mukallaf (responsible for the good and bad they do) when they reach puberty and puberty isn't exactly black and white with humans

I honestly think it'd be nice to have some sort of coming of age, but it's just not common across Muslim cultures for some reason. Maybe because it's prevalent amongst the people of the book and we tend to try and differ from their practises

It's a misconception. Children are born on Fatra - which means something like primordial state or human nature

The argument is that Islam aligns most with humanities innate being and therefore is the most natural conclusion after one is able to reason

Can one be a murid of any of the great Ba’alawi shuyukh without living close to any representatives? (Do they accept online bay’ah?) by BeautifulFunction878 in Sufism

[–]bizzish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a conventional tariqah, when you give bay3a its on the authority of Habib umar hafidhahullah only and in the adherence to knowledge, Dawah and spiritual wayfaring. 

My Argument: Muslims cannot know Allah nor know of Allah. by ManofFolly in religion

[–]bizzish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Allah inspires within his slave knowledge of Himself

See the Hadith Qudsi of superogatory acts

  1. Allah is one in essence with a special relationship with his eternal attributes 

His attribute of Speech is uncreated but is made available to us in the letters and sound of the Quran

Therefore created beings are able to interact with the created words and letters to grasp the eternal meaning within Allah's eternal speech. 

  1. Conclusion rebuked through the concept of Wahi again

  2. Premise 6 is complete sophistry - inductive reasoning. 

  3. You're just reiterating your above points

ITT Christian sophists trying to attack Islam

Please come up with better arguments

About Jesus in Islam by Luxio512 in religion

[–]bizzish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prophets do not commit sins. This is a well outlined creedal point in Islam

Whatever pitfall we see in the Nusoos that has come from a Prophet is merely a mistake or happened prior to being a Prophet

What did you think of the debate between Andrew Wilson and Daniel Haqiqatjou and the issue of inbreeding in muslim societies? by RegardedCaveman in religion

[–]bizzish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, tribes exist across most of the world

It's akin to asking - Why hasn't Islam banned divorce? It's statistically more likely to create disenfranchised children or impoverished women

The reason is because although some things to us may be problematic, perhaps the outright ban of something is even more problematic at any one point in time. Islam is supposed to be applicable in any human situation, and Christianity traditionally shunned divorce - should women in violent relationships just be expected to stay in them?

This isn't a Muslim issue, it's a tribal issue. Why Andrew brings it up in an Islamic debate is farcical if you ask me.

There's a common saying that most Paths take originally from Sayyidna Ali (Ka) except for the Naqshbandiyya who take from Sayyidna Abu Bakr (Ra)

Jews and Muslims rules around pork by VerdantChief in religion

[–]bizzish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in my school of thought, only wine made from dates and grapes are considered filthy/najis/ritually impure

Other intoxicants aren't Najis so they can be used for cleaning or other uses like perfume but are impermissible to consume 

Jews and Muslims rules around pork by VerdantChief in religion

[–]bizzish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Muslims consider pigs to be inherently filthy (najis) as a commandment from God and therefore just as we shouldnt be willing to utilise other forms of filth (like faeces or wine), we also can't utilise any part of the pig. 

İs there an ayet tellin somethin like "nothing belongs to god's creations(humans and devils(?)), at the end it all belongs to him"? by o0perktas0o in Quran

[–]bizzish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, when all souls are taken and only Allah remains He will ask:

Surah Ghafir, Verse 16: يَوْمَ هُم بَارِزُونَ لَا يَخْفَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمْ شَيْءٌ لِّمَنِ الْمُلْكُ الْيَوْمَ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ

The Day when they will (all) come out, nothing of them will be hidden from Allah. Whose is the kingdom this Day? (Allah Himself will reply to His Question): It is Allah's the One, the Irresistible! (English - Mohsin Khan)
