Imam al-Awzai rahimullah (157H)
"When we were, and the tabi'in were still many, we said: Verily Allah is above His Arsy, and we believe in His Attributes that come in the sunnah."

 (Al-Asmaa wa sifat li Al-Baihaqi 2/304 no 865, Al-'Uluw li Al-'Aliy Al-'Adziim li Adz-Dzahabi 2/940 no 334, and his sanad was declared jayyid by Al-Hafidz Ibn Hajar in Fathul Baari 13/406-407)
Ibnu Qutaibah rahimullah (276H)

"All the ummah, both Arab and non-Arab, they say that Allah is in the sky as long as they have their fitrah and their fitrah aren't removed from their fitrah by other teachings (influenced by deviant creeds)."
(Takwil Mukhtalafi Hadiits no. 395, tahqiq Muhammad Muhyiiddin Al-Ashfar, the 2nd edition of Al-Maktab Al-Islaami.)
Utsmaan Ibn Said ad-Daarimi rahimullah (280H)

"And it has been agreed that the words from the Muslims and even the disbelievers state that Allah is in the sky, and they have explained Allah that Allah is above the sky, except Bisyr Al-Marrisi and his friends who are misguided.
Even children who are not yet mature, they know this. If a little child is troubled by something he raises his hands to His Rabb praying to Him in the sky, and does not point his hands towards anything other than the sky.
So everyone knows more about Allah and where Allah is than the Jahmiyah." (Rod Ad-Darimi Utsmaan bin Sa'iid alaa Bisyr Al-Mariisi Al-'Aniid pg. 25)
Abu Bakr Ibn Ishaq Ibn Khuzaimah rahimullah (311H)

"As Allah has told us in the Qur'an and through the saying of His Prophet Shallallahu Alaiyhi Wasaalam, and as it was understood in the fitrah of the Muslims, from among the scholars and the ignorant people, (1)
independent people and their slaves, men and women, adults and their little children. All people who pray to Allah jalla wa 'alaa only raise their heads to the sky and extend their hands to Allah, upwards and not downwards" (At-Tauhiid 1/254)
Sheikhul Islam Abu Uthman Ash-Shabuni rahimullah (449H)

"The Hadith experts believe and testify that Allah is above the seven heavens above His' Arsy as stated in the Al Qur'an
.... (1)
The scholars and leaders of the ummah from the salaf generation do not dispute that Allah is above His arsy and His arsy is above His heaven." (Aqidatus Salaf wa Ashaabil hadiits p. 44)
Imam adz Dzahabi said, "Shaykhul Islam Ash Shabuni is a faqih, hadith expert, and preaching Sufi. He was the Shaykh of the city of Naisaburi in his day" (Al-'Uluw 2/1317).
10. Imam Abu Nashr as-Sijzi rahimullah (444H)

Imam Adz-Dzahabi said (Siyar A'laam An-Nubalaa '17/656):
"As for our imams such as Sufyan Ats Tsauri, Imam Malik, Sufyan Ibn Uyainah, Hammaad bin Salamah, Hammaad Ibn Zaid, Abdullah bin Mubarak, Fudhoil Ibnu 'Iyyadh, Ahmad bin Hanbal
and Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al Handzoli agreed (ijma') that Allah with His Essence is above Throne and His knowledge covers every space, and He is above Arsy will be seen on the Day of Judgment by sight,
He will come down to the heavens of the world, He is angry and pleased and speaks according to His will."
Imam Abu Nu'aim rahimullah (430H)

In al Itiqod, "Our path is the path of the salaf, namely followers of the Qur'an and Sunnah and the consensus of the ummat. Among the things they believe is that Allah is always the Most Perfect with all His qualities that are qodiimmah
...
and they declare and determine the hadiths that have been valid about the 'Arsy and Istiwa` of Allah above them without doing takyif, and tamtsil. Allah is seperated from His creatures and the creatures are separated from Allah,
Allah does not occupy them and does not mix with them and He lives above His Arsy in the sky, not on earth." (Al-'Uluw by Adz-Dzahabi 2/1305 or mukhtashor Al-'Uluw 261)
Imam Adz Dzahabi on Imam Abu Nu'aim said, "He has quoted the existence of an ijma' regarding this postion, and he was the hafizh of the 'ajam (non-Arab) people of his time without any dispute. He has gathered between history and knowledge of diroyah." (Al-‘Uluw 2/1306)
Imam Abu Zur'ah ar Raazi (264H) & Imam Abu Hatim (277H) rahimahumullah
Ibn Abu Hatim said: "I asked my father (Abu Hatim) and Abu Zur'ah about the madzhab of ahlussunnah on ushuluddin (aqeedah) and the scholars throughout the country whom he met and what he both believed about it
He both said, "We find all scholars throughout the country both in Hijaz, Iraq, Syria and Yemen believe that:

Faith is in the form of words and practices, increasing and decreasing
...
Allah 'azza wa jalla above' His arsy is separated from His creatures as He has affirmed Himself in His book and through the saying of His Messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam without asking how, His knowledge covers everything,
"There is nothing similar to Him, and He is the One Who hears and sees" (Syarh Ushuul I'tiqood Ahlis Sunnah wal Jamaa'ah by Al-Laalikaai 1/198)
Imam Ibnu Abdil Bar rahimullah (463H)

"In the hadith there is the argument that Allah is above, namely above 'His Arsy, above the seven heavens, this is as said by the ijma'. This is evidence from them against mu'tazilah and jahmiyah (1)

#Suven – Journey of my first 50 bagger…

I bought #Suven first in Apr 2013 around Rs 20…today after almost 7.5 years, its Rs 1000 (Suven pharma 920 adjusted for bonus + Suven Life 80)..CAGR of almost 68% for 7.5 years. I am fortunate to hold it throughout the journey and

1/n

add on multiple occasions on way up. Like to share my experience in this thread for everyone’s benefit..

First time I bought because I like the management focus on R&D. It had chosen the most difficult therapeutic area in pharma which is CNS and it was investing the cash

2/n

flow it used to earn from CRAMS. It also used to write off all the R&D expenses in the P&L instead of capitalizing it in BS. That gave me lot of comfort about management quality.

I kept on adding as funds keep coming. I remember giving a public presentation on Suven in

3/n

Mumbai at one analyst meet in Nov 2017 when it was trading at Rs 160. There was a huge call option embedded at that time in the form of SUVN-502. That would have been the blockbuster molecule if succeeded with market potential of $10 Bn plus..result was due in Dec 2019,

4/n

I loaded around 250-300 knowing the value of CRAMS business itself is more than 300.

SUVN-502 failed in phase-II trials, stock was down 15% from 300 to 250 in a single day, I added heavily. it was largest allocation in my portfolio because I knew the value of CRAMS business

A statement about Stephanie Hayden.

In January I became aware that Ms Hayden (who monitors this account despite being blocked) had made a series of defamatory allegations about myself and my wife.

The allegations were made on Twitter, via Hayden’s account, and were widely retweeted.

The allegations were that as a result of her making a police complaint, (1) the police were seeking to urgently speak to me.

Furthermore (2) that police has spoken to me on 26/12/20 and offered some kind of “robust” advice about my conduct on and off line.

Finally (3) that police attended my home address in November, where my wife mislead them as to my whereabouts.

Hayden commented about this at length on Twitter, said that both and I am my wife had lied, and that I had even given a false address in Hampshire.

I said at the time all the allegations were false.

The police “complaint” was nothing more than Hayden making yet another vexatious complaint to the police, as Hayden routinely does.

The police did not speak to me on 26/12/20, as alleged, or at all.

This response to my tweet is a common objection to targeted advertising.

@KevinCoates correct me if I'm wrong, but basic point seems to be that banning targeted ads will lower platform profits, but will mostly be beneficial for consumers.

Some counterpoints 👇


1) This assumes that consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones.

This does not seem self-evident to me


Research also finds that firms choose between ad. targeting vs. obtrusiveness 👇

If true, the right question is not whether consumers prefer contextual ads to targeted ones. But whether they prefer *more* contextual ads vs *fewer* targeted

2) True, many inframarginal platforms might simply shift to contextual ads.

But some might already be almost indifferent between direct & indirect monetization.

Hard to imagine that *none* of them will respond to reduced ad revenue with actual fees.

3) Policy debate seems to be moving from:

"Consumers are insufficiently informed to decide how they share their data."

To

"No one in their right mind would agree to highly targeted ads (e.g., those that mix data from multiple sources)."

IMO the latter statement is incorrect.

Every single public defender. Every single day.


Bail arguments, motions, oral arguments, hearings. Judges don’t know, follow, or care about the law. Prosecutors are willing to take advantage of it. And mandatory minimums, withheld evidence, & pretrial detention coerces people to plead before trial. When theres a jury. A shot.

But defenders still fight. And still win. Most times wins aren’t “Justice.” It’s power of repetition of argument in front of same judges. Introducing those in power to the people they oppress. Not just a RAP sheet or words on a page. Defenders make it harder to be brutal & cruel.

I worked as a public defender at an office as well resourced as any in the country. Social workers, team of investigators, a reentry team, support staff, specialist attorneys in immigration, housing, education, family. Relatively low caseloads (80-100). And yet still injustice.

Most think that balancing the scales of justice means more funding for defenders. Thats part of it. Enough a attorneys to actually be at bail hearings. Wrap around services to be able to help people trapped in the system end up better off in their communities. Lower caseloads.

Wracając do sedna dzisiejszego zamieszania z artykułem autosportu / motorsportu. Kubica mówi w nim, że podejmie swoją decyzję w ciągu kilku dni. Rozważa opcję z Williamsem lub posadę kierowcy symulatora w Ferrari. Więc za kilka dni dowiemy się co go czeka za rok. #F1PL

Autosport / motorsport zmienił nagłówek swoje tekstu, bo pierwotnie sugerował on że Kubica jest numerem jeden na liście Williamsa na tytuł mówiący tylko tym, że nadal jest na liście kandydatów. Zrobili to po interwencji zespołu. Same wypowiedzi Kubicy z wywiadu się nie zmieniły.

Trudno powiedzieć czy autor się pośpieszył i wyciągnął inne wnioski niż powinien, a może wie coś więcej, ale nie mógł tego otwarcie napisać. Słowa Kubicy brzmią jednak jednoznacznie: decyzję podejmie w ciągu kilku dni.

Some thoughts on episode 53 of #Hercai

Love,that is not real,has no passion. Its fire turns into embers, it doesn’t not smell. The day, the night, the moon&year burn without sun, light, comfort&sleep.

PRAISE
The praise in this episode goes foremost to Ebru because she portrayed Reyyan so realistically like a woman who truly lost her unborn child. I was in awe and pain watching her along the episode, all her breakdowns and tears were so real.
#Hercai

2
Of course also Akın took his part and did his part masterfully, but he rightfully was the one who stood aside in this specific episode that needed to be about Reyyan’s pain and thus concentrated on Ebru.
#Hercai

3
And last but not least, if I say thank you to something that B gave us this year, then it’s to have Ali as our director. Also in this episode we saw the artistic eye behind every shot and I loved it.

OVERALL COMMENT
I don’t know who wrote ep. 52 but ep. 53 was going strong once more on symbols: roses, stones, fire and trees were incorporated and especially the ReyMir dialogues were written very well. I truly loved every ReyMir scene.
So let's get into it.

🕵️‍♂️ How Google's PageRank algorithm works

The PageRank algorithm gives each page a rating of its
importance, which is a recursively defined measure of importance, based on if important pages link to it.
It's recursive because the importance of a page refers back to the importance of other pages that link to it

Here's how it works in practice:
1⃣ We start with some pages and crawl them for links


2⃣ Each page has 1/N points (where N as the total number of pages)


3⃣ Add points to each page for the amount of links to it, divided by the number
of links emanating from the sources of these links

I hate when I learn something new (to me) & stunning about the Jeff Epstein network (h/t MoodyKnowsNada.)

Where to begin?

So our new Secretary of State Anthony Blinken's stepfather, Samuel Pisar, was "longtime lawyer and confidant of...Robert Maxwell," Ghislaine Maxwell's Dad.


"Pisar was one of the last people to speak to Maxwell, by phone, probably an hour before the chairman of Mirror Group Newspapers fell off his luxury yacht the Lady Ghislaine on 5 November, 1991." https://t.co/DAEgchNyTP


OK, so that's just a coincidence. Moving on, Anthony Blinken "attended the prestigious Dalton School in New York City"...wait, what? https://t.co/DnE6AvHmJg

Dalton School...Dalton School...rings a

Oh that's right.

The dad of the U.S. Attorney General under both George W. Bush & Donald Trump, William Barr, was headmaster of the Dalton School.

Donald Barr was also quite a


I'm not going to even mention that Blinken's stepdad Sam Pisar's name was in Epstein's "black book."

Lots of names in that book. I mean, for example, Cuomo, Trump, Clinton, Prince Andrew, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen - all in that book, and their reputations are spotless.
