Pelik bagaimana sesetengah orang boleh menganggap bahawa tuntutan/ajaran Islam untuk mencegah maksiat itu terlalu idealistik. Islām itu diturunkan untuk kita beramal dengannya secara langsung. Ia bukan diturunkan untuk mengajarkan teori-teori abstrak sahaja.

Certain ideologies have overlaps with Islam. But they all extend beyond the bounds of Islam. If not, they would have simply been “Islam”, not another form of ideology. The Prophet pbuh was sent to teach us Islam—why the need to bend his teachings to fit a modern concept?

This is from one of my favourite poems written by Hamzah Fansuri, a 16th century Sufi who wrote Malay poetry on mysticism, and is considered the first known poet of the Malay world.

There are 1.6 billion ways to be a Muslim? There is a fundamental flaw in allowing Islam to be interpreted by those without religious authority. Then there is another flaw in acknowledging these differences under the banner of “inclusivity”. Let me explain why, inshāAllāh.

A cruel ruler once asked his spiritual advisor, “What would be the best deed for me to do?” His wise advisor replied, “For you, the best deed would be to sleep. It is only when you are in slumber that you are incapable of doing injustice to the people”.

I get that “loss of adab” is this great, profound Attāsian concept that encompasses justice, epistemology, civilisation and whatnot. But let’s also not forget the interpersonal adab we should display before even talking about these big ideas. This is a reminder for myself.

I don’t think I will ever tire of reading poetry in reverence to the Prophet ﷺ. It’s quite amazing to think that a single person can unite many different people across different lands, ages and tounges to produce art dedicated to him ﷺ. Ṣalallāhu ʿalayhi wasallam.

Non sequitur. Car accidents are an effect. We try to prevent the causes of car accidents by practicing safe driving, being alert, build better roads etc. People doing bad things under the influence of alcohol is an effect. The Sharia prevents the cause of it by banning alcohol.

Car accidents also 100% of the time involve cars. Seems like banning cars is the right way to go.

This is a strange, strange methodology to adopt in interpreting the Qur’an. It basically boils down to “we’ve been understanding the Qur’an wrong because we don’t understand Aramaic”. Let me explain why that’s wrong, inshāAllāh.

For the first time in history, a book is written to reveal that the language of the Qur'an is Aramaic, not Arabic. The Aramaic language of the Qur'an renders interpretations that are different from what Muslim commentators rendered in the last fourteen centuries.

classical Malay literature. Sounds boring. No one’s ever gonna read it except for my admissions officer who did and personally wrote to me how exciting it would be if I could continue my research in college. Jump on every opportunity that comes your way. Take something that...

I actually wanted to make a simple point: what the Prophet pbuh preached, he practiced. Would you be comfortable saying Prophet Muhammad pbuh taught us feminism? I would say astaghfirullāh, he taught us Islam and only Islam. In Islam, he upheld women’s rights. There you go.

The need for du'āt to understand the meaning of da’wah bil-hikmah, i.e. when should one be gentle and when should one be firm, is needed now more than ever, in my opinion. We are dealing with people who, as Dostoevsky put it in his novel Demons,

whenever someone says to me that the education system needs to focus more on science, i just pretend they’re talking about theology because theology is “the queen of the sciences” (Aristotle, Aquinas, etc), and if they call me out on it, i just ignore them

@Faraaaahin Salām. Saya dah baca teks Arabnya dan terjemahan Inggerisnya beberapa tahun dulu. Semalam saya baca kedua-duanya sekali lagi, dan selak syaraḥ kitab Iḥyā’ iaitu Itḥāf al-Sādah al-Muttaqīn oleh Imām Murtaḍā al-Zabīdī. Masih tak jumpa part yang problematic-nya. Mohon perincian

Being consistent in advocating for moral/character reform is not supposed to be a problem for the believer. The words of the Prophet ﷺ is succinct and comprehensive enough: إذا لم تستح، فصنع كما شئت “If you do not have ḥayā’, then do as you please” [al-Bukhārī]
