Views of Famous and Powerful ppl about THE GREATEST HUMAN BEING EVER, OUR PROPHET MOHAMMAD S.A.W. ﷺ

A Thread:

 " I have studied him (Prophet Mohammad)- the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world,

"he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much needed peace and happiness." ~ George Bernard Shaw

2/n
If ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by a Right Divine,it was Mohammad ﷺ for he had all the power without instruments & without its support.He cared not for dressing of power.The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life."

Reverend R. Borsworth

My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the ONLY man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level.

Michael H. Hart

"Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images; the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammad ﷺ

5/n
As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?" ~ Lamartine,

6/n
"The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. There is Muhammad the Prophet. There is Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad the Businessman; Muhammad the Statesman; Muhammad the Orator; Muhammad the Reformer; Muhammad the Refuge of Orphans;

7/n
Muhammad the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad the Judge; Muhammad the Saint. “ ~ K. S. Ramakrishna Rao

8/n
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind..I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life.

9/n
It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. Mahatma Gandhi

10/n
Meanwhile, this thread is just based on few famous ppl. There are many others. And this too not enough to glorify Prophet Mohammad ﷺ existence on earth as it is far bigger and beyond, to be encapsulated in words. He was sent by Allah SWT as the 'MERCY FOR ALL THE WORLDS'
And that precisely says it all. He was the messenger for all of the worlds creation not just ppl of one particular religion. Understand this or be ready to face THE CREATOR's Wrath.

[Thread: Wife Beating & Islam]
Opinions of famous classical Muslim scholars.

Imam Al-Desouki:
If the wife claims she has been beaten in transgression and the husband claims otherwise, then the wife is to be believed and the husband is to be reprehended (rebuked, …) by the judge


Imam Al-Desouki:
And if proof for transgression is shown and the wife wants to remain with him, then the judge is to beat the husband.


Imam Al-Desouki:
If the husband believes that his wife will not stop rebelling except by beating, then he’s not allowed to beat her.

Ibn Hajar Al Haithami:
If a husband knows that beating isn't helpful, then it becomes haram.

Al-Shafi‘i:
Beating is allowed, but avoiding it is better.

Maliki opinion:
Beating is allowed ONLY if it delivers the benefit intended from it. If it doesn't, then it's haram.


Ibn Hazm:
A wife has the right to divorce herself and right to retribution (or retaliation) if her husband beats her violently.

He is not allowed to beat his wife violently even if he knows she won’t stop rebelling by no other means and...

SERIES: HEROES OF ISLAM

2️⃣
NAME: #SALAHUDDIN AYYUBI"

Salahuddin Ayyubi (known as 'Saladin' in West) was one of the greatest military generals in Islamic history. -1


He was born in the year 1138, he was well known as the epitome of military intelligence in Islamic legacy, next only to Khalid Bin Waleed (r.a). -2

His greatest achievement for which he is hailed as a hero in the entire ummah since his time until now is the liberation of Jerusalem from the shackles of Crusaders.

He was the perfect combination of military might coupled with ascetic essence of Islamic spirituality. -3

His military expeditions neveru hampered him from seeking knowledge, surrounding himself with best scholars of his time and learning from them in utmost humble fashion. -4

In his youth, Salahuddin learned his military tactics from his uncle, Asad Al-Din Shirkuh and was mentored by Sultan Nur Ad-Din, who inspired Salahuddin to unite the muslim ummah. -5

***Thread - The current state of Ummah***
We muslims and the muslims scholars always say - the Quran is the final, complete, universal and incorruptible word of god (which is true), but why is it that our "islamic governments" fail to enforce laws based on the Qur'an...

A few days back, fornication was legalised in the UAE (which is strictly prohibited in the Qur'an)
And with saudi Arabia's suspicious activity with Israeli officials, we as an ummah are bound to ask ourselves few questions

What led to this?
Who is responsible?
What are we doing?
Does the majority of our ummah even want to do something about it?
What can be done?
Who can do it?

Q1 - what led to this?
This question has answers we all know, but we turn a blind eye towards it.
After the fall of the Ottoman Islamic khilafath we can safely say that it's secularism (Ataturk) which responsible for it...

...And that's ironic, as muslims who live in secular states vouch for the secularism mentioned in those states' constitution for the protection of their rights...

The Fiqh of Eid al-Adha:

1/10. The Eid Prayer is wajib. It consists of two rakats, with extra takbirs. The wisdom behind the Eid prayers, like the Eid days themselves, is to thank Allah for His countless blessings.

2/10. After the Eid prayer, there is a khutba. It is necessary to listen to this khutba, and everything disliked in the Friday khutba is disliked here.

3/10. In the first rakat of the Eid prayer, one gives 3 additional takbirs after the opening takbir and opening supplication but before reciting the Fatiha. One should raise one’s hands with each takbir (to one’s earlobes), as one does with the opening takbir.

After each takbir, one lets one’s hands rest at one’s sides.

One pauses briefly after each takbir.

One places ones hands together, right on left under the navel, after the third and final takbir.

After this, one recites the ta`wwudh (seeking refuge in Allah from Satan),...

...says the basmala (Bismillahi al-Rahman al-Raheem), and recites the Fatiha and another surah, as normal. The rest of the rakat is the same.

4/10. In the second rakat of the Eid prayer, one also gives 3 additional takbirs. These are given after one finishes reciting the...

Thread on Fasting from Imam Ghazali book "Inner Dimension of Islamic Worship"

Abu Hamid al-Ghazali is one of the great jurists, theologians and mystics of the 12th Century. He has written many books on philosophy , theology, mysticism etc.

#Ramadan2021 🌴🌙

According to Imam Ghazali there are 3 grades of
fasting

1. Ordinary Fasting: Abstaining from food, drink and
other desires.
This is the type of Fast that everyone observes

2. Special Fasting: Keeping your sense organ ( eyes , ear, tongue, hand, feet ) free from sin.

Jabir relates from Anas (RA). that the prophet, on him be peace, said: Five things break a mans Fast: lying, backbiting, gossiping, perjury and a lustful gaze.

This is practiced by righteous people .

3. Extra Special Fasting :

🍁This is Fasting of the heart from unworthy concerns and worldly thoughts, in total disregard of everything but Allah SWT.

🍁To the utmost dedication to Allah, disregarding everything else.
This fasting is practiced by prophets and Auliya Allah

🌴Fasting of the eyes :

• See not what displeases Allah SWT
• Restrained from viewing anything that is blameworthy
or reprehensible– That distracts the heart and diverts it
from the remembrance of Allah SWT.

There's been a lot of talk about the missionary killed by the natives of North Sentinel Island. They're probably so aggressive because of this weirdo, Maurice Vidal Portman. So here's a big thread about this creep and some facts from my decade-long obsession with the island.


The Sentinelese are often described as “uncontacted,” but this not strictly true. They had a very significant contact in 1880 with Commander Portman.

Portman, the black sheep third son of some minor noble, was assigned by the English Royal Navy to administer and pacify the Andaman Islands, a job he pursued from 1880-1900 with the full measure of his own perversity.


Portman was erotically obsessed with the Andamanese, and he indulged his passion for photography by kidnapping members of various tribes and posing them in mock-Greek homoerotic compositions.


During his 20 years in a sexualized heart of darkness, Portman measured and cataloged every inch of his prisoner’s bodies, with an obsessive focus on genitals.

The 2018 State of JavaScript survey is out. They got 20,000 responses and have some delicious, delicious data. I'mma thread in some highlights:

First up: JavaScript flavors. There's TypeScript at 47% adoption, a tad higher than npm's own survey results (which said 46%). npm's survey is coming up again soon and will ask about TypeScript in a lot more detail.


I really, *really* like SoJ's "would not use again" question, which lets people who've abandoned a tech self-identify. This is noticeable in the graph above with Flow users -- 41% of people who've used Flow say they wouldn't use it again.

Now JavaScript frameworks. It's been a full year since npm's survey, so these numbers differ from ours in the directions I expected:
React 65% (vs. 60%)
Vue 29% (vs. 24%)
Ember 5% (vs 4%, I was expecting a bigger rise)

But there's a shocker in here: Angular.


npm's survey had Angular at 40% last year and SoJ has it at either:
- 58% (if you include those who don't want to use it again)
- 24% (if you count only those who like it)
Since npm's question didn't ask if they intend to *continue* using it I think that might explain this.

So there's a class of puzzles called "river crossing puzzles" which involve having to cross a river on a boat/bridge containing some set of individuals/items with restrictions on which ones can be on the boat/left on each shore, right?

and the most common subclass of these problems is the one where you have 3 items/animals to cross with.
This is alternatively called the "fox, goose, and bag of beans" or "wolf, goat, and cabbage" puzzle.

the idea is that your boat can only carry one item at a time, but if you leave the wolf/fox unattended with the goat/goose, the wolf/fox will eat the goat/goose.
and similarly, the goose/goat will eat the beans/cabbage if left alone

so you have to set up a set of actions that never leaves either side of the river in one of the lose-states.

the solution to this variant being:
1. take the goat/goose over
2. return empty
3. take the wolf/fox over
4. return with the goat/goose
5. take the cabbage/beans over
6. return empty
7. take the goat/goose over

It’s underremarked upon that stablecoins accomplish basically all of the original design goals for Bitcoin qua a transactional mechanism (instant free value transfer anywhere), but that nobody cares about this because nobody ever cared about that part of the pitch.

“Why do people care about stablecoins then?”

A mix of “they encourage dollar-denominated liquidity in the cryptocurrency ecosystem and discourage withdrawal of the same” and “they’re good for money laundering.”

“But they make value transfer between exchanges much faster!”

This was a solved problem in traditional finance, too, mostly through the extension of credit. (It doesn’t matter how long settlement takes if there is sufficient trust to enable credit.)

The Bitcoin ecosystem is *positively allergic* to credit, so you have to call it a coin for them to accept it. And after you call it a coin they ignore everything the world has learned about credit, like risk management.

“Stablecoins aren’t credit!”

They’re pretty much exactly credit? A tether is a zero-coupon Bitfinex bond with a non-functioning call option. I
