How a wrong vowel in the Quran may produce blasphemy The correct vowel endings damma, kasra, fatha in Arabic can be a headache. If you are careless, you could turn verse 9:3 of the Qur'an into blasphemy (kufr). https://arabic-for-nerds.com/grammar/analysis-sura-9-tawba/?feed_id=4748

`Adi bin Hatim At-Ta'i (May Allah be #pleased with him) said: I heard the #Messenger of #Allah (PBUH) say: "He #who has taken an #oath (to do something) but #found something else #better than that (which brings him #closer to Allah), then he should do that which is better in #piety (and he #should expiate for the breaking of oath)".

Respect Neo-Pagans and Our Gods!

Although they probably will never see it (or care), this post is meant for Hollywood, Netflix, Marvel and all other industries and streaming platforms that are hosting shows based on but twisting pagan or polytheist "mythology" or ancient religions such as Gods of Egypt, Immortals, Clash of the Titans, Thor: Love and Thunder, DT17, Supernatural, Kaos, Twilight of the Gods, Blood of Zeus, Percy Jackson, Xena: Warrior Princess, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Record of Ragnarok, American Gods, Lore Olympus, and God of War games, etc.

The trend of creating content that demonizes, humiliates, or insults our Gods is upsetting and unfair. Creative and artistic license is one thing, but it's a double-standard for content about the monotheistic god or religions to be treated with respect even when under academic criticism while are ours are depicted as one-dimensional, villainized and humiliated. We are asking for that same respect.

Yes, content about any kind of "mythology" is fun, but the modern world needs to please remember that these were and still are RELIGIONS to many people around the world, myself included.

People worshipped these Gods, listened to their stories around the fire, married under their vows, raised their children, went to war, and but also built magnificent structures, wrote literature, prayed in their temples, and many more!

In fact, we still have vestiges of their worship! The names of the months and days of the week in the Western world come from Roman or Norse/Germanic Gods, the Olympic Games were originally dedicated to Zeus, the Hippocratic Oath was originally a prayer offered to Apollo, people from all over the ancient world visited the shrine and oracle at Apollo's Delphi, and many more examples.

And while yes, sometimes people were sacrificed to some pagan Gods (not so much the Greeks or Romans), but are we really going to pretend that many more people haven't died in the name of Christianity or Islam??

Lord Zeus wasn't just some womanizer, he was also King of the Gods, Father of Gods and Humans, the God of Hospitality, Oaths, Lightning, Law, Order, Authority, Monarchy, etc.

This was also Lord Zeus of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Odin of the ancient Norse:

This was also Lady Hera of the ancient Greeks:

This was also Lord Ra of the ancient Egyptians:

This was also Lord Huracan of the ancient Maya:

Even if you personally don't worship these Gods, at least respect the fact that your ancestors did. Imagine if 100-200 years from now your descendants start making movies and shows that demonize or humiliate Yahweh, Jesus, Allah and Mohammed, etc.!

In fact, neo-paganism is the fastest growing religion in the United States: https://commonwealthpolicycenter.org/paganism-is-americas-fastest-growing-religion/#:~:text=Paganism%20is%20one%20of%20the,a%20broader%20form%20of%20paganism.

Members of Ásatrù, heathen religion of Iceland, honoring the Norse Gods:

Members of Hellenism, honoring the ancient Greek Gods:

Members of my religion, Nova Roma, honoring the ancient Roman Gods:

Traditional African religion:

Traditional Maya religion:

Members of Wicca at Stonehenge, the biggest Neo-Pagan religion in the world with 3-5 million practioners worldwide!

Our Gods are our RELIGION, not just your "mythology!" And both They and we, their followers, deserve the same respect you expect for your religions.

And they at least would never condemn you to an eternal fiery pit simply for not believing in them, unlike some other god I could mention.

They are here. We are here. They exist. We exist. And we are not going anywhere.

i've taken the (real) oath. i know people who are better and worse with patients, people who are prejudiced... but this guy's personality is incompatible with medical praxis.

there's a difference between being a bad doctor and being mengele. people like this should have their license revoked for genocidal incitement, not much room for hesitation there.

I do suspect he's not a real doctor.

Because doctors don't take the hypocritical oath.

[magpod-confessions]

If you ask me what my TMA confession is, I'll tell you "John and Martin were never in love, they were just bonded through mind-shattering trauma and a desperate need to be wanted/accepted. They have the chemistry of a musty laundry bag."

But if you REALLY ask me, I'd say...

It makes me uncomfortable when I see people depict Basira in hijab... it's not just some accessory, it's a symbol of a deeply held religious belief, an oath, and a physical display of faith. Just because someone has an Arab name does not mean they're of a particular faith, and that seems like the ONLY reason people have to depict her that way. None of her actions or words, directly or indirectly, are representative of Islam, and she expresses no particular faith herself. It feels like an uncomfortable mix of stereotyping and people trying to virtue signal with their headcanons. And it just makes me squirm a little when I see it, because I would never say it directly to someone.

Sort of related to the post I just reblogged about the anti-abortion movement, but:

I think that some people have an impulse in recent times when writing antagonists and villains to shy away having them be acting based on truly held beliefs or even beliefs based on reality.

They have to be grifters or incorrect or misunderstand the world. If they truly believe in something right (correct and/or morally good by whatever standard), if they truly hold their beliefs, then they can be an anti-hero or a minor antagonist but eventually they are revealed to Have Been Right All Along and someone else is the Big Bad of the story.

And there's nothing wrong with doing that, with having the villain be someone who is taking advantage of average people or is lying about their beliefs or whose belief is based in something inaccurate. The villain can be mistaken or confused or just wrong.

But the thing is that, in real life, many people who we see as villains are acting under truly held beliefs that are based largely in reality. The things that make them villains in our view are what they want to do about it.

Part of what galvanized Stewart Rhodes to begin to take action against the U.S. government was his opposition to what he saw as unconstitutional overreaches of the surveillance and detention powers/efforts taken by the federal government in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. It galvanized a lot of people and faced a huge amount of opposition in the years following the attacks. In that sense, not only was this belief "real" but it also would considered "morally good" by many people, including probably most people here on this site.

The problem is that Stewart Rhodes founded the Oath Keepers and has since been convicted of seditious conspiracy, obstructing an official proceeding, and evidence tampering for his part in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The leaders of Islamic State/Daesh are acting based on truly held beliefs. Bin Laden's demands were based in reality. Many anti-abortion people operate based on an internally-consistent logic and belief system--it may just not be one that makes much sense to or fits the belief of people who disagree with them.

My point here is that you don't need to shy away from villains who have extremely strong beliefs, where "proving them wrong" isn't possible or isn't relevant because they are also acting based on facts, where the problem isn't the validity of the beliefs but the actions they are taking.

In many ways, those can be the hardest villain to stop in stories, because they can't be talked out of what they're doing any more than the protagonist can.

[muslimah255]

From Sunan an-Nasa’i

[deadpresidents]

Is there any truth to the 1980 October surprise theory?

The New York Times published a story earlier this year where Ben Barnes -- a Republican supporter of Reagan's in 1980 who had once served as Lieutenant Governor of Texas, Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, and protege of former Texas Governor John Connally -- confirmed that the Reagan campaign absolutely encouraged Iran not to release the American embassy hostages before the election because Reagan would give the Iranians a better deal if he was elected President. Barnes admitted that he was present as Connally passed that message around while on a trip to the Middle East in order to get word to the Iranians. It's not exactly a smoking gun because virtually everyone seemingly involved in implementing the October Surprise is dead other than Barnes, but it's a weird thing for Barnes to lie about 45 years later, especially considering how close his relationship was with Governor Connally. Plus, we know that there were shady contacts between people in the Reagan Administration and Iran because of the Iran-Contra scandal.

I think there is definitely some truth to the theory, but I also believe that the Iranians were more than happy to spite President Carter by not releasing the hostages until literally the moment Reagan took the oath of office. The Iranians were still furious with the Carter Administration for letting the Shah come to the United States for medical treatment after he was forced to leave Iran as the Iranian Revolution exploded and Ayatollah Khomeini returned to become Supreme Leader. Carter had also helped broker the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, which also infuriated Iran and much of the Islamic world. Plus, Carter had ordered Operation Eagle Claw -- the failed attempt to rescue the hostages by force -- and that was seen as an act of war. So, the Ayatollah and leaders of Revolutionary Iran had no love lost for President Carter and weren't interested in doing him any favors before he left office.

The October Surprise that many people overlook is the one which took place in 1968 shortly before the Nixon vs. Humphrey election. When it looked like there might be some progress made in peace talks to bring the Vietnam War to a close, Nixon and his advisers got word to the South Vietnamese to hold off on working toward peace until Nixon was elected and could give them better terms. It was such an egregious act that LBJ actually told people around him that he felt Nixon had committed treason and that he had the blood of American soldiers on his hands for sabotaging peace talks. We even have the tapes of LBJ's phone calls after finding out about Nixon's actions where President Johnson straight-up says, "This is Treason!"

Doctors follow the Hippocratic Oath and save lives of people who come to them. They are just doing their Jobs....

UN, did you not find enough Facts till now?

Will you be able to in sufficient time?

Or will all people in Iran have to die before you can find sufficient Facts and act on it..?

I need 3 years of therapy for all the news I've lived through the last 3 months. Then I need two lifetimes of therapy to get over all the trauma I've been through the last 20 years.

What are your thoughts on people who are "Ahle Hadees"? I have met quite a few of them but they are so strict with following the religion (esp in India) that they cancel out scholars or islamic speakers who they narrow down to preaching "wrong aqeedah". They call themselves "Salafis" too. Are "salafis" and "ahle hadees" different from each other? There are "salafi" women who only wear black color clothes and no other color. They sometimes rebuke me for making mistakes while performing wudu and says, "Allah will never forgive such a mistake." I was seriously scared tbh.

Being a Muslim according to the way the righteous predecessors (salaf) were is the safest and best thing in this time full of wrong ideas and wrong ways of applying Islam in a way that the Prophet or his companions did not do Because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of people are my generation, then those who come after them, then those who come after them. Then there will come people whose testimony will come before their oath, and their oath before their testimony.”

Therefore, we are required when we find many mistakes spread in the nation to return and imitate what the sahaba were doing The problem is that some of those who claim to be from the people of hadith or the salaf way now do this in a wrong and difficult way in advice, it is possible that warning about something that you did wrong was correct and I mean the meaning of the speech

But they did it in a wrong way and not because the way is wrong does not mean that the speech is wrong, it is possible for a person to have correct speech Some people do this and give correct advice but in a wrong way, so never think that the speech is wrong because the way of the speaker is ridiculous or wrong

In fact, I do not know the circumstances there in India and what the method is like, but I think that their method of advice is bad or incorrect, but being on the path of the Salaf is the best. In general, I do not like to describe myself as anything other than a Muslim, and I do not like those other names.

Surah Al-Asr: The Declining Day

1. By Time

2. Verily, man is in loss

3. Except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and recommend one another to the truth, and recommend one another to patience.

وَالْعَصْرِ

إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ

إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ

وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ

By Time:

Past, present, future

- Al-Asr is the time in which the movements of the Children of Adam occur, whether good or evil.

- Allah swears by time, that man is in *Khusr*, which means in loss and destruction.

- Oath by Time signifies that Time is witness to the truth that man is in sheer loss except for the people who possess the four qualities.

Four Principles:

1. Believe, Faith in Islam (Imaan)

2. Righteous deeds

3. Remind others of the Haqq (truth, rights, reality)

4. Remind others of Sabr (patience)

Notes:

- Allah is teaching us, through the lens of time, that we will fail unless we focus on four virtues that will allow us to win in this life and the hereafter.

- It reminds us of the value of time in life.

- It reminds us of the importance of faith.
