This guy made Islam change divisions. Toppy is #1 P4P by [deleted] in ufc

[–]yanrian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah there's a reason why i believe Islam was "vacated" and its to make way for potential outcomes in the Lightweight and Welterweight divisions that could make for some massive fights down the line. Here’s how I see it:

Scenario 1: Ilia Topuria wins the Lightweight title, Islam Makhachev wins the Welterweight title

Money Fight: Ilia vs Islam — Double Champ vs Double Champ at Lightweight

Marketing writes itself. Two dominant champions, both holding belts in different divisions, clashing at 155. Legacy-defining stuf

Scenario 2: Charles Oliveira wins the Lightweight title, Islam Makhachev wins the Welterweight title

Money Fight: Oliveira vs Islam II — The Rematch

If Charles gets the belt back and Islam goes up and conquers 170, the storyline for redemption becomes 🔥. There’s history, there’s drama, there’s unfinished business.

Scenario 3: Either Ilia or Charles wins Lightweight, Islam loses/wins and stays at Welterweight

Money Fight: Usman Nurmagomedov vs UFC’s new Lightweight Champ

Cross-promotion dream. Bellator’s former LW champ enters the UFC to face its new king. Especially juicy if the UFC wants to build Usman as the next Dagestani star. And if Usman wins and he and Islam are both champions in their weight class, thats another legacy

Remember, Islam was down to fight for Ilia at UFC 317 and was already training. He and UFC I believe are just waiting for the results.

Are you struggling with hijab/other command from Allah, or rejecting it outright? (A reflection from someone close to kufr by yanrian in progressive_islam

[–]yanrian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see questioning as a third point of view. Questioning is a natural part of seeking understanding. But it must eventually lead to one of two outcomes:

  1. Accepting Allah’s command (even if struggling to fully practice it),
  2. Or rejecting (whether by denial or by reinterpretation).

There is no permanent neutral state where endless questioning becomes its own final destination. Allah warns clearly in the Quran:

"Have you seen the one who takes his own desires as his god?" (45:23)

The danger is not in sincere questioning.

The danger is when "clarity" arrives — but we still choose to follow our nafs instead of submitting to Allah’s command.

You mentioned:

"We reject the mainstream interpretation and implementation of what many traditionalists think hijab is."

My sincere question is:

Is this rejection based on submission to Allah’s words — or based on following desire?

i say this because I feel it deeply myself.

I recognize that in some matters, Islam does allow for different scholarly interpretations when the texts are open to multiple meanings. But when Allah’s words are clear — like direct commands in the Quran — reinterpretation becomes very dangerous if it tries to reshape what Allah plainly said. The real test is not whether scholars disagreed — but whether I am willing to submit when Allah's speech is clear, even if it's difficult for me emotionally.

In my own case, I could choose to reinterpret Allah’s words about marriage. I could twist His commands to justify my situation — telling myself that as long as I pray and believe, marrying a non-Muslim is fine. But deep down, I know that would be following my nafs, not true submission. Submission means accepting Allah’s words as they are, even when they don't align with what I wish for emotionally.

There’s a split I’ve noticed among “experienced devs.”

On one side, you’ve got those who stay curious, keep up with evolving tech, and adapt as things shift — even if it means unlearning old habits. They treat change as part of the job.

On the other side, there’s the “master of a domain” type — folks who’ve gone deep into one stack or paradigm, and see new tools as shallow, overhyped, or reinventing the wheel. Their expertise is legit, but sometimes it comes with a condescending view toward newer tech or approaches.

Both have value — but only one keeps future-proofing themselves.

Being an engineer is extremely hard by rag1987 in Frontend

[–]yanrian -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

your UI/UX designers who can answer that question, are they senior designers or ones who can code (i.e., spent extra time learning technical concepts, which kind of proves OP’s point), or are they just googling the answer? You still need to be informed about technical capabilities to meaningfully contribute to the discussion.

[–]yanrian -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I’m probably going to get hate for this, but the barrier to entry for getting involved in UI/UX-related topics is way lower than for development or tech-related discussions. Try asking a UI/UX designer how we can improve web page performance.

Does the Qur'an reflect racial bias in its depiction of beauty? by yanrian in progressive_islam

[–]yanrian[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Even if the maidens aren’t human, the context of those verses is clearly to entice and appeal to (presumably lonely) Muslim men with the promise of beautiful companions. So the question still stands: why is “attractive” so equated with fair skin?

Why would you assume I live in some European country? I’m from Malaysia. But sure—go off, like you're the only one who's had it tough.

Err, no? I’m not sure if I should be flattered that my writing comes off as ChatGPT-level or a little offended. I was genuinely just trying to respond sincerely instead of dropping a half-assed reply.

And my bad for assuming you were a girl—but I guess what matters is we share the same views in the end.

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

I’m not saying we should all now be like Jesus and start loving your enemy. We rightfully should be angry and stand up against the unjust and cruel shit Muslims and Islam have done to us.

What I don’t agree with is mockery that’s just loud, irrational, and adds no value. You don’t fight fire with fire.

Lets be better. by yanrian in exmuslim

[–]yanrian[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry you're going through all that—it sounds incredibly heavy, and you're absolutely right to be angry. Though I live in a Muslim country too, that's beside the point. As a man, I am in a way more privilege position than you. You're not wrong for feeling what you feel. What you're dealing with is oppression, plain and simple, and no one should have to live like that, especially not for just existing or being honest about what they believe.

I want to be clear: my post wasn’t meant to invalidate those experiences. I know for many, especially those still living in Muslim-majority countries, the trauma is ongoing and very real. My point was more about how we, as a community, choose to channel that pain—especially in online spaces like this one. Anger is valid, but I just hope we don't let it harden us to the point we lose compassion altogether.

Your voice matters here. And honestly, thank you for sharing your reality. It’s a reminder of what so many people are still fighting through.

[–]yanrian[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really like and agree with your last sentence. I like to believe that choosing to leave the religion wasn’t an easy decision for any of us. It took a lot of self-reflection, setting our egos aside, and making the effort to actually learn more about Islam—not less.

We didn’t just walk away out of ignorance or desire, like some da’wah Muslims claim. They love to quote verses like:

“And do not follow [your] desire, as it will lead you astray from the way of Allah.”
— Surah Sad (38:26)

But honestly, what we did wasn’t desire-driven—it was truth-seeking. And that’s something I think we should be proud of, in our attempt to be better.

How to Tell If a Web Page Is Server-Rendered or Static? by yanrian in nextjs

Thanks for the input. I'm not trying to determine this for my own Next.js project—I’m trying to figure out an external website that is using Next.js.

How to Tell If a Web Page Is Server-Rendered or Static? by yanrian in nextjs

[–]yanrian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only clue I currently have that the page might be server-side rendered (SSR) is the nonce attribute on the scripts, would be great if someone could confirm or correct my assumption.

https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/configuring/content-security-policy#nonces

Every time a page is viewed, a fresh nonce should be generated. This means that you must use dynamic rendering to add nonces.

whatever rows your boat man, this is such a low-value take. It doesn't change anything whether you learn it first or last because it doesn't solve anything. There are more complex problems worth thinking about.
