My Initiative

I've decided to utilize this particular platform to collect my thoughts primarily as a note taking process and so to have established these thoughts in written form and to be used as reference points for further research.

The topic of geopolitics is quite expansive and actually necessary for anyone trying to gather a coherent picture of what is taking place throughout the world. I think I will outline the tools that is needed to highlight this topic in detail ان شاء الله

The Athari Way

The primary function of this brief breakdown is not to highlight the entire Athari creed, rather the purpose here is to summarize the essence of the Athari creed in the three distinct aspects that are being grossly misrepresented by the groups of Kalam theology (Ash'aris primarily along with pseudo Atharis). In short, there are three things that ahlul-hadeeth wal-athar i.e the Atharis, are having their own creed being dictated by other than themselves and being promoted in opposition to the principles of the Athari creed, hence the necessity of this brief summary of our stances. This summary is broken down into three primary issues of concern 1. Do we believe in the "literal" or the "dhaahir". Clarifying the divergence between the two 2. Ithbaat vs Tafweed al-M'anawi 3.  The standard operating procedure of classical Atharis on those issues the sources of evidences have remained silent upon So we will go forward one by one addressing these issues in the most ...

Racism Repudiated in Islam: Chastising the Racist to Bite His Father's Genital

The Hadeeth in question is a narration in al-Mishkaat  Al-Masaabih, Vol. 2, p. 1021 Here is the riwaayah in arabic من تعزى بعزاء الجاهلية فأعضوه بهن أبيه ولا تكنوا Commonly translated as  The Prophet said on the authority of Ubayy Bin Ka'b: "If anyone proudly asserts his descent in the manner of the pre-Islamic people, tell him to bite his father's penis, and do not use a euphemism".  The hadith only reflects the disgusting nature of nationalim, tribalism and racism. Nationalism is tribalism in a wider sense and racism is even wider. This bonding around people who share a common heritage is what is meant by proudly asserts his descent. Three words here need special attention. We shall show their original denotative and connotative meanings, and in the light of that, make a lucid and truly justified translation. a) عض (adh) literally means “to bite” but often implies to “stick to.”. However the literal or figurative application is based on the construct of the rest of ...

The Breakdown of Madkhali Paradigmatic Thought Processes: Secularist Mindsets

Author: Ali Boriqee Although I'm embarking on the task of deconstructing thoughts predominant of the Madkhali frame of mind, this is not aimed simply at the direct actors of the movement in specific, which include but are not specific to, organizations such as SPUBS and TROID. As members of ahlu-Sunnah wal Jama'ah, followers of the Athari creed, we must realize that the dogmatic features of Madkhali philosophy, which is more predominantly outlined by students of Rab'i al-Madkhali rather than the Shaykh himself, is a frame of mind that transcends partisan actors of the movement. The reason for this is precisely because this frame of mind has remained in the thought processes of those who even proclaim to have disassociated themselves from the partisan (hizbi) aspects to the salafi dawah and have proclaimed to have limited themselves to following " beneficial knowledge ". In other words, Madkhali dogma can and is found within members of the salafi movement who, ...
