🧵I put together this short explainer summarising some of the most common forms of sexual violence acknowledged by Islam and how these actions, including marital rape, can be prosecuted in Islamic law. I've also shown the contemporary English terms which cover these acts.

The bullying of Muslim women who wear headscarves/abayas by fellow Muslims (mostly men) on this app is revolting. If even one of these women quit practising the hijab as a result of this bullying, the sin would be on every person who bullied her for the rest of their lives.

Bosnian Hanafi Islam. Again, compare to South Asian Hanafi Islam with its distorted 150-year-old traditions. Women have as much of a right to experience the transcendence/awe inspired by beautiful mosque architecture as men do. May Allah guide SA Muslims back to the Sunnah iA.

It’s remarkable just how different Turkish Hanafi Islam is from South Asian Hanafi Islam. The colonial encounter ruined many things for us, including our religious tradition. Family friends from Turkey send photos/videos of women attending Turkish mosques in large numbers.

With this in mind, South Asian Hanafi Islam seems to be a pretty *modern* phenomenon, despite their claims to traditionalism and protestations against the label ‘modern’. It’s an Islam severed from its precolonial tradition, and is a product of/reaction to events in modern times.

@PancakePlumbob Yeah I’m Pakistani myself, it’s absolutely shameful how our masaajid treat Allah’s female worshippers. When there is space, it is usually some small dingy room. Otherwise they just tell women to pray by the roadside. I know of only 3 mosques in Lahore that accommodate women.

@hafizsaadriaz You should read my last thread where it discusses Ottoman mosques in the premodern period. It’s a continuation of a living tradition in Turkish mosques, Kemalism has nothing to do with it.

Here's a similar summary for the brothers, which we need to focus more on (take note MMA and football bros), since in many cases our men are failing even the basics of male hijab. They're also regularly looking at parts of men's bodies (e.g. thighs) which are haraam to look at.

Ibn Arabi (r) lays the cherry on the top of the previous critique with this spiritual admonishment/coup de grâce, something our brothers on here may want to reflect on for the sake of their souls:

In Pakistan, too, in most Muslim households (urban Punjab at least), men and women sit and dine together. In my own circles, only those who are part of revivalist-Islamic circles have segregated seating arrangements. Fascinating differences. Note: ^All are practising Muslims.

He’s pretty consistent in his misogyny. This from earlier, where he’s defending lying to one’s wife in order to cheat on her and ‘secretly’ marry other women behind her back.

...details on some of these cases, while the others have been discussed publicly on social media/news websites. MH has publicly defended men's 'right' to engage in Misyar marriages that are hidden from these men's families.

Practising-religious Pakistanis (I know Sunnis best) relentlessly malign music, dance, acting, movie-making, etc., using slurs such as ‘kanjar’ for people in these industries, and then wonder why we don’t have better media content for Muslim kids. Hmm really is quite a mystery.

Another major reason: deliberately hiding alternate, valid opinions on issues people struggle with, or that would provide people ease. So refusing to let people benefit from the mercy embedded in the breadth of tradition. A religious own goal if there ever was one.

@uncle_reborn @AhsanJaif To be clear, are you asking me why it’s Dhulm for a man to partially strip a young woman and parade her in a public market while multiple men ogle and physically molest her?

…even the advice of Mufti Taqi Usmani, one of the most senior Ulema in the region, who urged them to re-open girls’ schools. May Allah deal with these tyrants the way He dealt with tyrants of the past. May He save Afghan women and girls from all enemies, external and internal.

@hanifaMSUbabar The current major forms of South Asian Islam (Hanafi-Deobandi, Hanafi-Barelwi and Ahl-e-Hadith) took away many joyful things from us (music, dance, art in general, communal festivities, etc.). It is a loss I feel deeply and thus try to understand.

@nnnnnnxox I think a lot of Muslims today unfortunately don’t understand the distinction between non-Deeni and anti-Deeni activities. Only the latter is a problem, not the former.

He then shows why prohibiting access based on Sayyida Ayesha's (ra) statement does not make sense for multiple reasons:

I find this stuff fascinating. Two of the guys (Asad and Amaan) are Aitchisonians, graduates of *the* elite boys’ school (I presume Haider is too). Asad-Amaan were also, at a point, two of the best young debaters in the country. What is fascinating is just how badly…

@AkhiMansur You should be more careful with bringing up the Prophet’s blessed name in a discussion about MT sickos. Imaan is a fragile thing, don’t play with it brother. We’re done here. Be well.

@electron9_1 Tbh, I’ve told multiple young women who ask me for advice regarding potential spouses to outright reject anyone who follows DH or MH. Alhamdulillah, at least 2 potential husbands were rejected solely on the basis of their following/posting of DH/MH content.

Abdul Majid Daryabadi (rh) casually mentioning in his autobiography that he apostatised from Islam, became a serious atheist, then returned to Islam and made significant contributions to SA Islamic thought. This is why the supposed ‘apostasy punishment’ doesn’t make sense to me.
