The slashy tragedy of Ahmad

Another variant Thief of Bagdad headcanon, with illustrations.

Premise: Ahmad is gay (yes, this point has been made since 1940, but bear with me),

But he is also too dumb to realise he's gay, and thus strings poor Abu along...

What’s medieval Arabic for “bullshit?“ No, Abu... he’s set his sights on pussy. He thinks he can do it. And yet, he still has the fucking nerve to utter this line:

Abu’s face says it all. Bitch, now you’re just twisting the knife.

But Abu helps him anyway, because he loves him that much. Thus, we have Ahmad The Clueless bumbling his way into heterosexuality through Yassamin's garden, because that's what he's read princes and princesses do.

He’s seen this miniature of the badass legendary hero, Prince Zal, climbing up the passionate Princess Rudaba's harem walls to get laid (note the pink walls and everything)!

And then he recites poetry at her, because that's what you do.

Note that in the 1001 Nights, anything and everything is accomplished by reciting/quoting something beautiful and/or witty on the spot. This is not just a "chicks like romantic stuff, better throw some at her" thing. So to all the morons who scoff at this stuff now when they watch the movie? Tough. It's a *major* rule in all these stories, often forgotten in Western screen adaptations, because Westerners just don't randomly quote song lyrics all the time (which would be the closest equivalent--poems were the pop songs of the day, passed along in song format). So they don't get it/and or don't think it fits unless you’re going for a musical. But it's a big deal in the Near East, Persia in particular. (I'm told in Teheran, taxi drivers will quote Hafiz at you. Which is awesome). And this is actually pne of the major reasons why I really like ToB, because everybody *does* speak in poetry all the time, Ahmad especially!

Even at Jaffar’s pet lesbians. So this dialogue retains a major element of the original culture that makes up for the elements they *didn't* get right (ladies wearing turbans would have *actually* been considered drag in this era, BTW, but then again, I’m sure they are Halima’s pet lesbians). But anyway, Ahmad just does the standard cool thing to do, whenever you want to benefit from a situation. Hence, poetry.

Also, Yassamin?

Bitch is twenty-one. She's basically an old maid by medieval standards, when girls were married off as soon as they hit puberty, or even earlier. Thanks to her dad being what we scientifically call batshit fucking crazy, the poor girl has been locked up in a harem until she's hit her twenties (I actually imagine her to be 17 or so, but June was 21). So she's been there, sexually frustrated as *fuck,* for years and years, fantasising about djinn or mythical heroes like Zal and shit (because it's not like a flesh and blood guy could ever have a chance).

She’s been stuck there dreaming about Wild Ravishments (TM), and been hot and bothered thanks to whatever sexy sexy seductive magic our resident creepy stalker wizard has been throwing her way.

FINALLY her dark shadow lover has arrived!

So, of course she falls for the first guy that shows up. She doesn't know what the fuck, except

So. You know. He’s like

“What do I do now? Is this how you heterosexual? What does a modern, liberated 9th century Arab girl even want from a man? Poetry? Shall I try poetry?”

And she’s like

Two fools deluding themselves.

Which is a shame. Because they really are cute in their own, innocent fairytale way. And really pretty, too.

While Abu, who's the smartest of the bunch and who *does* know a vagina-incompatible guy when he sees one, sighs in exasperation...

Look, he is a pretty lad. It would *not* be the first time a guy's had a crush on him (also insert here an essay about how the love of a man for his beautiful youth was THE most common form of love in the aforementioned medieval Persian poetry)... so he's done all this shit for his beloved Ahmad, saved his life time and time again (NOT UNLIKE A CERTAIN WIZARD with his equally dim Pwinzezz) and the guy still doesn't get it.

No amount of pretty, shirtless, glistening and collared boys can help poor Abu's cause. Ahmad, buddy, you may have got your eyesight back, but you're still blind.

Jaffar, on the other hand, basically fucking brought Ahmad up from a baby. He *knows* what's up; knows it intimately. So it's honestly no surprise that he looks so fucking satisfied (and disturbingly horny) when he sees Ahmad in the marketplace. His plan of turning Ahmad into a sex object for other guys is complete, and he looks like he's even tempted to sample summa that.

Just for a test drive, you know. He is an engineer after all.

But no. Even if he arranges Ahmad out of the way and keeps on creeping on Ze Pwinzezz, proving his love over

and

over...

Nothing comes out of it.

"Goddammit, bitch! At least *I* am into pussy! I am the LONE bisexual penis-owner in this sea of gays!"

But all to no avail: in the classic tragedy of the guy who's everything Yassamin's dreamed of (cultured... sensitive... an eye for rakish beggar fashions that are *so* chic for 816 CE...) turning out to be a closet case, she hurtles on towards a lifetime of sexual dissatisfaction.

(A medieval Muslim princess glomping a guy she’s not married to, in public?! See what a raunchy little wench we lost here? O, the potential!)

When the guy who's quite clearly a fucking expert at hot hard kinky wizard sex, the guy who can control the elements and who builds fucking sex toys in his basement, the only one who could’ve truly helped that Babylonian harlot within her to flourish, hurtles towards the Tigris with an arrow in his skull.

Just fucking wait until he gets back onto Tumblr and writes a seething post on how this is a classic oppression case. #panthersexualerasure #anti-persian sentiment #MUGGLES!

And so it comes to pass that Ahmad, the guy who's confessed he has had 365 wives and doesn't know how to love them, enters into marriage with wife no. 366.

Note that she’s wearing part drag with that turban again, so I reckon she’s starting to realise what’s up. And I suppose the nosebag helps collect all her tears of DEEP REGRET AT NOT HAVING CHOSEN THE HOT SEX WIZARD INSTEAD.

Abu, however, knows what up, and makes his exit from this charade along. A. Fucking. Rainbow.

Have fun discovering the truth about yourselves in, oh, maybe the next 20 years of sexual frustration, guys!

THE IMPACT OF MUSIC ON MOOD

Weekly Journal Entry #3

Hello! Today, I have been thinking about the profound effect music has on our emotions. It is fascinating how different genres can transport us to various states of mind, often reflecting or influencing our mood in unexpected ways.

When I am feeling down, there is nothing like turning to some soulful blues. The raw emotion in artists like Insomniacks or Hafiz Suip resonates deeply with me. Their music feels like a comforting hug, acknowledging my sadness while reminding me that I am not alone. The heart-wrenching lyrics and smooth melodies have a way of validating my feelings, making it easier to process them.

On the other side, when I need an energy boost, I turn to upbeat pop or dance music. Artists like NCT or Chase Atlantic always lift my spirits and get me moving. Their catchy hooks and infectious beats seem to fill the room with positivity, inspiring me to dance around my living room and forget my worries for a while. It is amazing how just a few minutes of a lively track can turn my whole day around!

And then there is the nostalgic pull of old songs from my childhood. Listening to My Chemical Romance or Exist transports me back to simpler times, filled with memories of family road trips to hometown or vacations. These songs stir up a sense of warmth and familiarity that makes me smile, reminding me of the joy and innocence of those days.

It is incredible how a simple melody or lyric can influence our emotions so deeply. Music is like a universal language, speaking directly to our hearts and minds. I am grateful for the way it shapes my experiences and helps me navigate life’s ups and downs.

Until next time!

Inspirational Queer Muslims you need know about them

Tuways

Tuways or Tuwais was a renowned Mukhannath individual in the early days of Islamic Arabia. His/Her real name was Abu Abd al-Munim Isa Abdallah al-Dhāib. In Arabic, the name Tuways or Tuwais means peacock. They were born in 632 AD in Medina, on the same day Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) passed away. According to various scholars, Tuways is often described as one of the leading Mukhannath musicians of Medina during his/her lifetime. He/She served as a mawlā of the Banū Mak̲h̲zūm, under the patronage of Arwā bt. Kurayz, the mother of the Caliph ʿUt̲h̲mān b. ʿAffān.

Tuways initially gained recognition by performing melodies learned from Persian captives & went on to become a celebrated musician during the Rashidun Caliphate, the first Islamic Caliphate. According to some accounts, he/she was a devout queer Muslim and was never blamed for his/her queerness.

al-Dalal

al-Dalal was a Mukhannath poet & musician, based in Medinah. Not much is known about his life. Tuways was his/her master and he/she was one of the favourite pupil of Tuways. al-Dalal is often portrayed as a witty but sometimes crude male who "loved women" but disliked to have sex with them. Few accounts report that he was a bisexual, had sexual encounter with both woman & her groom.

During the reing of Umayyad Caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik, al-Dalal, along with other Mukhannathun were persecuted for their boldness. They were forcefully castrated. They were enslaved by Umayyads.

Abu Nawas

Abū Nuwās (also known as:Abū Nuwās al-Salamī, Abū 'Alī) was an openly gay poet, and the foremost representative of the modern (muhdath) poetry that developed during the first years of Abbasid Caliphate. He also entered the folkloric tradition, appearing several times in One Thousand and One Nights.

He attended a Qur’an school and became a Hafiz at a young age.His youthful good looks and innate charisma attracted the attention of the Kufan poet, Abu Usama Waliba ibn al-Hubab al-Asadi, who took Abu Nuwas to Kufa as a young apprentice. Waliba recognized in Abu Nuwas his talent as a poet and encouraged him toward this vocation, but was also attracted sexually to the young man and may have had erotic relations with him. Abu Nuwas's relationships with adolescent boys when he had matured as a man seem to mirror his own experience with Waliba. Abu Nuwas wrote poetry in multiple genres; Abu Nuwas’s diwan, his poetry collection, was divided by genre: panegyric poems, elegies, invective, courtly love poems on men and women, poems of penitence, hunting poems, and wine poems. His erotic lyric poetry, which is often homoerotic, is known from over 500 poems and fragments.

Mahmud of Ghazni

Yamin-ud-Dawla Abul Qasim Mahmud commonly known as “Mahmud of Ghazni” or “Mahmud Ghaznavi”. He was known as a great sultan of Ghaznavid Empire. But he is also controversial for his invasion in indian subcontinent & treatment of non-muslims. Besides, he is regarded as icon of queer love.

Mahmud was a bisexual muslim. Mahmud had 9 wives and innumerable concubines as well as male slaves. Mahmud of Ghazni's name is often associated with a man named “Malik Ayaz”. Malik Ayaz was a handsome Turkic-Georgian slave brought by Sultan Mahmud. He was a very close companion of Mahmud; was very devoted to the him and fullfilled his all wishes.

The relationship between Mahmud and Ayaz is highly celebrated in Persian poetry and literature.There are a set of 6 poems by Farid al-Din Attar that are inspired by this relationship. Sa'di, a 13th-century poet includes 2 stories about the lovers in his best-known work, Bustan, a collection of reflections on human nature. The chapter “Concerning Love” describes someone complaining that Mahmud’s favourite slave “possesses no beauty.” Upon hearing this, Mahmud responds, “My love, O sir, is for virtue, not for form or stature.” The second story depicts the king travelling with some of his men when an overturned chest of pearls is discovered; all except Ayaz go after the pearls. Questioned by Mahmud about the possibility of gaining riches, Ayaz explains he wants nothing. “I walked in haste behind thee, I do not occupy myself with riches away from thy service.” Nidhami-I-Arudi, a 12th-century Ghaznavid court poet describes the well-known and famous love of Sultan Mahmud for Ayaz, though he explains that Mahmud, being a “pious and God-fearing man,” wrestled with this love. One night after drinking a lot of wine, Mahmud couldn’t ignore Ayaz’s beauty: “Thereupon love plucked the reins of self-restraint from the hands of his endurance, and lover-like he drew him to himself.”

Zahīr ud-Dīn Muhammad (Babar)

Zahīr ud-Dīn Muhammad commonly known as Babar or Babur. Babar was the founder of the Mughal Empire. He was a Bisexual & was also the first queer ruler in Mughal Dynasty. Babur's religious and philosophical stances are characterized as humanistic. Babur was an acclaimed writer, who had a profound love for literature. His library was one of his most beloved possessions that he always carried around with him, & books were one of the treasures he searched for in new conquered lands. During his 47-year life, Babur left a rich literary and scientific heritage. He authored his famous memoir the Bāburnāma, as well as beautiful lyrical works or ghazals, treatises on Muslim jurisprudence (Mubayyin), poetics (Aruz risolasi), music, and a special calligraphy, known as khatt-i Baburi.

He married multiple times but had little attraction towards women. Babur had an affair with his male slave named Baburi Andijani (also known as Baburi). Babur rescued him from the Uzbek camp market in 1499. Babur mentioned his lover's name several times in the "Babarnama" and expressed his feelings towards Baburi without fear. Babur even wrote several Persian romantic poems about same gender love. It is also claimed that Babur built Babri Masjid as a token of love for Baburi Andijani (well, I am not pretty sure)

Maryam Khatoon Molkara

After the Islamic Revolution, Maryam faced intense backlash due to her gender identity. She underwent arrests, and death threats. She was fired from her job at the Iranian National Radio and Television, forced to wear masculine clothing, injected with male hormones against her will, and detained in a psychiatric institution. Later she was released by the help of religious leaders.She also fought for legal recognition of trans people in Iran.

Before this, she used her own property in Karaj to help other transgender people receive legal advice and medical care, including post-operative care.

Army doctors examined her, and finding that she was a woman, concluded that Sally was not medically fit for military service.Sally was refused a transfer to Al-Azhar’s Medical School for Girls. So she filed a case against Al-Azhar Medical School later which stirred a nationwide controversy. Despite going through many problems, she didn't stop her fight for her rights.

At that time Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi, Grand Mufti of Al-Azhar, issued a fatwa that Sally's change was necessary for her health but that before the operation she should for one year dress, behave and comply with all obligations of Islam for women (except for marital obligations).This fatwa was the first Sunni ruling on sex reaffirmation surgery. Eventually Sally won 2 legal rulings against the Al-Azhar school, but it ignored them, and also blacklisted her at other medical schools.So she completed her education from Cairo University on literature.Sally also legally married with a man in Egypt.

Qahar Asi's Autumnal Whispers of Loss

Qahar Asi's Autumnal Whispers of Loss

By Farhad Azad

The poet قهار عاصی Qahar Asi, enveloped in the golden hues of پاییز autumn, recites his moving poem همه “All”— the exact recording date unknown, perhaps the fall of 1990, the year the poem is dated, and recorded in or around Kabul. The season itself, a melancholic motif in Farsi poetry, channels the poem's themes of loss, sadness and the winds of drastic change.

The acclaimed filmmaker صدیق برمک Siddiq Barmak wrote that Asi had a vision of blending prose and poetry for the screen. This footage, perhaps alongside the iconic ای کابل "O Kabul," where Asi recites amidst a ruined cityscape, hints at his cinematic aspirations. Soon after, artistic repression further worsened under the new Islamist regime starting in 1992, with music silenced and his longtime collaborator, vocalist Farhad Darya, in exile.

The poem itself is a cry for a fractured homeland void of its چراغ و عرفان “light and spirituality” amongst the نسيم تلخ “bitter breeze.” Asi mourns the exodus of loved ones, their absence echoing in the desolate landscape. 

Notably absent from this recitation are the poem's final lines, where Asi names his exiled friends, including عظیم نوذر الیاس Azim (fellow poet Noozar Elias), ملیحه احراری Maliha Ahrari (a friend and collaborator at RTA in the Cinematic Program and Film Narration), کنیشکا Kanishka (?), فرهاد دریا Farhad Darya. These lines conclude the poem with a bitter question, a challenge to himself and to those who remain: 

نه عظيم نی مليحه نه كنيشكا نه دريا

Neither Azim, nor Maliha, nor Kanishka, nor Darya remains

تو چرا نشسته ای عاصی غم‌گسار رفته

Why do you sit here, Asi? The companions have left

Asi’s lyrics resonate with another poet, 600 hundred years earlier, حافظ Hafiz, most likely composed when his city of Shiraz fell to the fundamentalist امیر مبارزالدین محمد مظفر Amir Mubariz al-Din Muhammad Muzaffar (r. 1353-1358) grip. They reflect the tragic rhythm of history in this region, where vibrant societies, once bastions of progress, crumble under the weight of extremism:

یاری اندر کس نمی‌بینیم یاران را چه شد

I don’t see any friends, where have they gone?

دوستی کی آخر آمد دوستداران را چه شد

When did our friendship end, what happens to those who loved?

This question resonates beyond Asi, speaking to the millions who stayed behind while others sought refuge abroad. It's this profound empathy, this ability to voice the unspoken grief of a people, that captioned Asi "the people's poet." His verses transcend mere statistics, giving voice to the forgotten and silenced. 

For me, it stirs the memory of my last encounter with my paternal grandfather who gazed at us before we left, “This will be the last moment we meet.” His prediction was unfortunately right.  

In the wider theater of world politics, Asi's subjects may be reduced to numbers, but his poetry restores their humanity. His words, inscribed in time on this grainy video, remind us that even in the face of immense loss, the spirit of the humanities survives. 

* Special thanks to Parween Pazhwak for her invaluable contributions in researching this introduction and providing translational edits for the poem.

For one, the homeland of light and spirituality remains in ruins

ز بس اشک و آه مانده، ز بس انتظار رفته

From so many tears and sighs remain, from so much longing it has vanished

Herve Comeau Syracuse | The Medieval Period: Cross-Cultural Poetic Flourishing

The medieval period witnessed a rich exchange of poetic ideas between Islamic, Christian, and Jewish cultures, particularly in regions like Andalusia, Sicily, and the Levant. The Golden Age of Islam, from the 8th to the 14th centuries, saw the flourishing of Arabic poetry, which drew inspiration from Persian, Indian, and Greek traditions. Poets like Rumi and Hafiz blended Sufi mysticism with Persian literary forms, creating a body of work that resonated across cultural boundaries.

In medieval Europe, the Crusades and trade with the Islamic world introduced European poets to Arabic and Persian poetry. The influence of troubadour poetry, which emerged in the Occitan region of France, can be traced to the lyrical forms and themes of Arabic poetry. This cross-cultural exchange enriched the poetic traditions of both Islamic and European societies as highlighted by poetry buffs such as Herve Comeau Syracuse, fostering a shared literary heritage that transcended religious and cultural divisions.

He was a Persian lyric poet, whose collected works are regarded by many Iranians as a pinnacle of Persian literature. His works are often found in the homes of people in the Persian-speaking world, who learn his poems by heart and use them as everyday proverbs and sayings. His life and poems have become the subjects of much analysis, commentary and interpretation, influencing post-14th century Persian writing more than any other Persian author. ღ♡
