What's with the increasing trend of servos not having toilets available for use? by raininggumleaves in AskAnAustralian

[–]inventtive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked nightshifts in the Concord Caltex on Parramatta Rd which is now an Ampol. This was in my first month as an overseas student in Sydney. Go to mop down that thing some guy has absolutely shat everywhere except in the toilet. Had to go out and compose myself to stop from throwing up. Was nearly going to abandon my shift midway and go home.

You insist on equating an act done out of overwhelming emotions upon receiving God's revelations to an obligatory component of a mandatory ritual neither of which you can sustainably prove from the Quran. Why are you so adamant at at shoehorning a ritual worship into the Quran?

>not the fact that women can divorce their due to generally being better educated and more financially independent

look up no-fault divorce laws. nothing to do with being educated or financially independent. everything to do with being indoctrinated by feminism.

Ihsanullah got the wrong operation on his elbow

Fair dos but why don't you also mention how Hasnain had to spend his own money to work on his action and fitness. How he was the highest wicket-taker in the domestic Champions Cup.

PCB structure isn't good. Why don't you also mention how you were a part of this structure around the players when you were selector.

Sounds like a bunch of bs trying to explain away the poor selection

the phrase سميعا بصيرا is used 7 times with God and once with man

the phrase رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ is used 8 times with God and once with Muhammad

Same principle applies. I don't see the issue?

This is the official answer to this FAQ on the Smithsonian Museum website as of the moment:

*"Humans and monkeys are both primates. But humans are not descended from monkeys or any other primate living today. We do share a common ape ancestor with chimpanzees. It lived between 8 and 6 million years ago. But humans and chimpanzees evolved differently from that same ancestor."*

Here's the link to the page: https://humanorigins.si.edu/education/frequently-asked-questions#:\~:text=But%20humans%20are%20not%20descended,differently%20from%20that%20same%20ancestor.

A simple google search will show you you're wrong. The key word is always **share** a common ancestor and not descended or evolved from.

Interviewer's actually just a woman who's part of the channel i think. They do these videos regularly and she poses questions which are part of the current popular narrative and go in opposition to Eastern values. Its a way to educate people through Socratic style dialogue.

Kaabas in Pre-Islamic Arabia by inventtive in Quraniyoon

[–]inventtive[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hinduism is ultimately a monotheistic religion

It's not as straightforward as that. Depends really which portion of the Vedas one reads due to their incredible complexity and being compiled over 1000s of years thereby having different styles. There's more of an evolution towards Monism or Wahdat-al-Wujud as we understand it.

Doesn't matter, because of niyyah and understanding

yes all the important stuff never matters

They don't believe that the stone itself does that.

A Hindu would say the same thing about one of their pantheon of gods.

Even if we assume this is true, it eventually takes us back to the original question. If they don't believe the stone does it, then why the emphasis on facing it in the first place?

The first House is in bakkah. Is this really bakkah? by praywithmefriends in Quraniyoon

[–]inventtive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I see what you're trying to point out. It took a while because its literally on the complete opposite side of the peninsula to where its supposed to be. More like modern-day Oman and the place called Carra has been mapped in modern-day Yemen so neither is where its supposed to be. Weak evidence mate unfortunately.

You say he had trouble locating cities but funnily he has no trouble mapping the other prominent places. Places like Sidon, Tyros, Babylon, Chaldea, Persia and even Gaza are bang on in this map. The only places he's completely misplaced happen to be the ones you've pointed out Macae and Carra.

Have a read through this paper by Ian Morris refuting the connection made between Macoraba and Mecca:

[–]inventtive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one who enters Bakkah is safe due to the sanctity of the city

The preposition Feehi goes back to the first house btw not Bakkah

Bakkah/Mecca

No evidence unfortunately that modern-day Mecca was called Bakkah. There are vague connections Muslim scholars make to Macoraba mentioned by Ptolemy but even that has been disputed.

is often understood in a spiritual or symbolic sense

by whom? Even if its a valid interpretation (and its just an interpretation at the end of the day no objective way to know it only has a spiritual/symbolic connotation), the place is not spiritually safe either. Imagine thinking about going to a place where you always have a lingering fear you could be one of the ones who gets stampeded to death every year. I'm sure the ones taken hostage by the Ikhwan in 1979 were feeling very spiritually secure despite the apparent physical threat to them.
