The key phrase in this quote is "the man which it forms." Before you condemn a belief system because of the actions of anyone who espouses it, investigate whether they have been following it. In terms of Islam, modernist types out there today who talk about the religion failing us, which is why it needs to be reformed, have it twisted. What in reality has happened is it is WE who failed religion, which expects of us more than we expect of ourselves. _ #religion #islam #hadith #quote #philisophy #sufism #quran And this world is debased...its events are numerous And its life is lowly...and its period is short And none is covetous over it...except the one lacking insight _ وذي الدنيا دنية...حوادثها كثيرة وعيشتها حقيرة...ومدتها قصيرة ولا يحرص عليها...سوى أعمى البصيرة _ Please include him in your prayers. _ "It is with heavy yet prayerful hearts that we like to inform you that our dear brother Usama Canon has been conclusively diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This recent news has been shocking, sobering, and overwhelming. As such, Usama will be taking time away from work and friends to adjust to his condition—as well as spend as much time as possible with his family while still in this earthly realm. Usama is currently mobile, and active, all praise and thanks are due to God." _ https://www.loveforusamacanon.org _ #islam #spirituality #poem #als #lougehrigsdisease #taleef #sufism ‎"Whoever worshipped Muhammad ﷺ, then Muhammed has died. And whoever worshipped God, then God is living and doesn't die." ‎-Abu Bakr as-Sideeq RA #islam #spirituality #sufism #hadith #quran #prophetmuhammad #fame The discussion I had with Dr. Peter Slezak had a packed house and it was a lot of fun. I LOVE THEOLOGY! Too bad we're mere mortals and had to go home to get some sleep. _ Anyways, for those who happen to be around and are interested, I'll be delivering a talk today about modernity and its impact on how religion is approached and engaged with. I'll try to get this one live streamed or at least recorded. #spirituality #faith #islam #religion #soul #science #modernity #sydney #atheism I'm going to be in Sydney today and tomorrow! _ Tonight I'll be on a discussion panel alongside Dr. Peter Slezak as part of the UNSW Islam Awareness Week held by the MSA, where we'll talk about religion, science, morality, worldviews, and the problem of evil. _ Tomorrow... not really sure what's happening to be honest. But apparently I'm going to be speaking or teaching or doing something somewhere in the afternoon. #sydney #australia #unsw #msa #islam #religion #atheism #philosophy #spirituality #faith #belief #science #lecture "Gentleness was never applied to anything except that it made it more beautiful, and harshness was never applied to anything except that it made it more ugly." - The Beloved ﷺ #islam #hadith #quran #faith #spirituality #soul #beauty #gentle Islam in Liberalism, the recording of the latest live Andalus Book Club webinar, is now available. This puts us at 8 books we've gone through so far. Check out these titles! _ A couple of things: _ 1. I'm in the process of compiling the book list for 2018, which I hope to finalize in the next couple of months. In addition to the new list, I'll go through the books from this year for another round in 2017 for new members who missed out on them, and also for my own selfish desire of wanting to go through them once again. The ideas and concepts these books offer are just that important. _ 2. I'll be preparing an 8-week online course on theology and Islamic philosophy that will have limited spots. Keep an eye on this page for announcements if you're interested. _ 3. Please keep me in your prayers as I have an exam coming up at the end of this week and the amount of memorization required for it is a bit heavy. _ There's more to Andalus Book Club than just these books and webinars for them.

We ended up talking for 1.5 hours addressing the following questions: _ 1. Evangelical Christians talk about a "personal relationship with God" - do Muslims think of faith in the same way? _ 2. What do you need or want to see from Christians in the U.S. or abroad to squash Islamophobia? _ 3. Judaism and Christianity have conservative and liberal interpretations of their religions. Does Islam have something similar? If so, how do conservative and liberal interpretations of Islam differ? _ 4. There are Christians in the U.S. who believe they are being persecuted - I wonder how Muslims feel? What does religious persecution REALLY feel like? _ 5. I am always hearing that Islam is a "violent" religion, according to some who have read (and likely misinterpreted) the Quran. Where does that stereotype come from? _ 6. On the topic of Sharia Law - the Quran states that Muslims are instructed to tax Christians and Jews if they will not convert to Islam - or face the death penalty. This has happened in Syria and Iraq recently - how is this an attitude of Love? How can this be justified? Where is is Grace? _ You can listen to the full episode on iTunes or go to link in the bio _ #spirituality #faith #podcast #islam #christianity #muslim #christian #god #religion
