Its complicated but personally I find appreciating the beauty of Nature and listening to comforting Scripture helps

How do you all reconnect with God?

"Indeed, your Lord knows, [O Muḥammad], that you stand [in prayer] almost two thirds of the night or half of it or a third of it, and [so do] a group of those with you. And Allāh determines [the extent of] the night and the day. He has known that you [Muslims] will not be able to do it (1) and has turned to you in forgiveness, so recite what is easy [for you] of the Qur’ān.

He has known that there will be among you those who are ill and others traveling throughout the land seeking [something] of the bounty of Allāh and others fighting for the cause of Allāh. So recite what is easy from it and establish prayer and give zakāh and loan Allāh a goodly loan.(2) And whatever good you put forward for yourselves - you will find it with Allāh. It is better and greater in reward. And seek forgiveness of Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful."

1: "Allāh has known that if they were to continue in such long periods of worship each night, the people would be caused much hardship."

2: "In the form of charities and contributions to His cause."

Qur'an 73:20 (Surah Al-Muzammil) Trans. Saheeh International

..... So I think I may have found a modern Islamic scholar to study the teachings of....

He was mentioned in my audiobook "Inside the Soul of Islam"(fantastic book btw highly recommend) and there was an exert of a like speech he gave against extremists and I just did a quick glance on his views.... They interest my own.

I think that when I have the brain power to do some dedicated study reading, I shall look into any publications of his theology.

This is exciting!

Mary/Maryam's Gender

Very different from many Islamofascist discourses and even discourses of modern remnants of Muslim traditionalism, both the Quran and classical Islamic philosophy and theosophy hold that gender is something quite dynamic. Genders are not different by essence but are ontologically and teleologically related due to their common root in a unity of being.

“O mankind, be aware of your Caretaker who has created you from one single self and He created from it its mate and sent forth from it many men and women; and be aware of Allah whom you ask about, and the relatives. Allah is watcher over you.” (Quran 4:1)

“Your creation and your resurrection is as one single self, truly Allah is He Who hears and sees.” (Quran 31:28)

Gender is in the Quran seen as a manifestation of a primordial “duality in unity”, similar to the Chinese idea of Yin/Yang, but just like the Chinese idea of Yin and Yang we can not reduce this primordial duality to simple material entities.

“It exists within every fraction of creation, even within our own selves. And of everything we have created pairs, so that you may contemplate.” (Quran 51:49)

It by far transcends any biologisms and it is itself transcended by the final unity of being. In classical Quranic exegesis it is Maryam (Mary, the mother of Jesus) who is most often seen as the person whose life expresses this principle in the best way. I´d like to cite some quranic verses, a wellknown and wellrespected Sunni tafsîr (exegesis) and the quote of a wellknown Sufi writer with regards to this.

When the woman from the house of Imran said: “My Caretaker, I have vowed to You what is in my womb, dedicated, so accept from me, You are the Hearer, the Knower.”

So when she delivered she said: “My Caretaker, I have delivered a female,” but Allah knew well of what she delivered, for the male is not like the female. “and I have named her Maryam, and I seek refuge for her and her progeny with You from the outcast devil.”

So her Caretaker accepted her a good acceptance, and made her grow into a good growth, and charged Zachariah with her. Every time Zachariah entered upon her in the temple enclosure, he found provisions with her. He said: “O Maryam, from where did you get this?” She said: “It is from Allah, Allah provides for whom He wishes without reckoning.” (Quran 3:35-37)

And the angels said: “O Maryam, Allah has chosen you and cleansed you, and He has chosen you above the women of the worlds.”

“O Maryam, be dutiful to your Caretaker and prostrate and kneel with those who kneel.” (Quran 3:42-43)

Next, a longing for a male child arose in her heart. Thus her imagination, firm resolution and expectation exercised an influence upon the fetus. Consequently, Maryam was born blessed with a virile disposition.[…] Maryam was a woman with the qualities of a man, as there are also men with an effeminate nature. This because by nature she looked out for Allah and centred all hopes in Him.

– From the Tawîl al Ahadîth of Shah Waliullah Dehlavi (1703-1762 CE)

“When tomorrow on the Day of Resurrection the call goes up, ‘O men!’, the first person to step into the ranks of men will be the virgin Maryam.”

– From the Tadhkirat al Awliyâ of Fariduddin Attar (ca. 1145-1221 CE)

Muslim lesbians have two moods and it's either "it's a great day like love women!!! Glory be to Allah!!:3" or "my mother cries as she watches her little girl contort and twist into the thing she shed her own blood to kill"

Is this increase of anti-religious leftist sentiments on the dash is due to Hamas and Hezbollah being religious and it sorta pisses you people off?

Listen, you just have to get over it, okay?
