Feminism was necessary for the development of the modern state.

In the past, women had extended families they could rely on in times of need. This meant that if they weren’t working and lost their husbands, they could still be provided for by family members.

The development of the modern state required breaking up extended families and centralising power in the hands of the state. This necessitated waging war on religion and traditional moral values as well, since they stressed the importance of upholding the ties of kinship. As a result, the family unit was severely weakened and society became extremely individualistic.

Hence, women lost their support networks and could no longer afford to just rely on their husbands at the risk of their marriage breaking down. This pressured them to seek financial independence by entering the formal workforce.

Entering the formal workforce, however, is not a guarantee that women will always be safe as they could lose their jobs and not be able to find employment for a long time (as is the case during economic contractions and recessions). This allowed the state to further expand its power and influence through the provision of welfare benefits.

The number of actual Muslims is significantly smaller. There are so many murtaddīn and zanādiqah claiming Islām these days.

Digital Sisterhood? The podcast where Muslim women publicly discussed their sexual pasts? Including but not limited to sucking men off? And then proceeded to misapply and distort concepts from Islamic theology, such as Qadr, and use very modern liberal conceptions of consent to essentially justify what they did?

“Local Shafii masjid”.

The west is Dār al-Shayṭān. Leave these cursed lands immediately.

There are many things in our religion that will be deemed as barbaric, backwards, and disgusting by not just kuffār, but even by many Muslims who are ignorant and unaware of our tradition. And this is because of scholars spending the last 100 years lying about the Dīn and hiding things, trying to present Islām as compatible with modern western liberal “ethics”.

These discussions are a waste of time. We don’t agree with these people on their worldview or their underlying philosophical presumptions on morality. You’re only confusing Muslims, feeding into their inferiority complex, and making us all collectively weaker.

Some important letters from Imam Rabbani Mujaddid Alf-i Thani Shaykh Ahmad as-Sirhindi al-Hanafi al-Maturidi an-Naqshbandi ق س on the evil of corrupt scholars.

A point always hidden by those abusing the qUaLiFiCaTiOnS card to silence opponents with the excuse that "muh you're disrespecting ulama".

No we aren't "DiSrEsPeCtInG tHe ScHoLaRz", we're disrespecting the corrupt ones who adorn themselves with scholarly grabs to abuse the scholarly tradition they falsely claim to represent, but that in reality they are the first to disrespect.

Yes, we proudly disrespect everyone who (with their lies, corruption, deformism and distortions) disrespect authentic classical scholarship.

Requesting your adʿiyah for rizq.

Shaykh Muhammad Awwamah blasting those using his name and supposed actions as a proof to claim the permissibility of ikhtilat.

This is going to burn the UK-USA neobandis' mafia which has been trying to legitimize free-mixing between males and females by using the Shaykh's name.

Shaykh Muḥammad ʿAwwāmah, حفظه الله, is doing barāʾ from those who have been using his name to justify free-mixing. ❤️

‎May this be the beginning of the end of the western Daʿwah Mafia,

بإذن الله.

There aren’t many things that disgust me more than self-proclaimed Muslims who are soft and empathetic towards kuffār while simultaneously being harsh and aggressive towards other Muslims they disagree with on secondary theological matters.

It is a sign of nifāq.

🔥🔥🔥(get it? lol)

Most of the discourse on marrying outside your culture is annoying but I would like to touch on it from a nuanced Islamic perspective. Assuming that Dīn is the priority here, there isn’t “only one correct practice”. Especially nowadays.

Racism is an issue, always has been an issue, and always will be an issue, but people throw around the label too casually when this topic comes up. The culture-clash argument is a valid one. People naturally prefer to be around like-minded people. This is how human beings are wired. A person is not racist for feeling uncomfortable around people who look, talk, and act differently from what they are accustomed to, let alone having such people become part of their family.

Things like differences in food, language, cultural references, physical appearance, traditions and practices, etc. can affect how people get along. To deny this is dishonest and absurd. Obviously there can be a range with this and the level of differences can vary. Some cultures are closer to each other than others, and some families are more tolerant and open-minded than others. But the point still stands.

A lot of people won’t like hearing this but marriage doesn’t just involve you and your partner. Unless you marry an orphan or something, the in-laws are going to be part of the equation. And unless your parents are also diaspora themselves, they will most likely take issue with you marrying outside your culture. Whether they are being reasonable or not won’t change the fact that this is going to be a problem.

I know that diaspora living in the west and people from the younger generations don’t really understand how much the differences in culture could impact the marriage because they have all become accustomed to western culture. A 20 year old Palestinian female who was born and raised in the west may not even have a hard time getting along with white guys around her age. Obviously that is a massive problem within and of itself but I digress.

A lot of people from the older generations also commonly have sentiments like wanting to preserve their cultures through their children. This is to be expected and is, once again, natural.

At the same time, one can (rightfully) argue that many of our cultures have become so corrupt and un-Islamic that there isn’t really much of a need to preserve them. This will obviously vary from family to family.

Preserving culture used to be the way that the Dīn was passed on from generation to generation. But we now live in a global village and the west has been spreading their ideologies everywhere through their trojan horses. Most of our cultures have practices and norms that are contrary to Islām, so if one was to try to properly practice Islām, they’ll likely run into issues with their family. This can also be described as a culture-clash.

Proper Dīn and a purely Islamic worldview should be prioritized above anything else. This is a given. But not everyone is blessed enough to know what that even looks like, and/or sincere + intelligent enough to find it.

For those who are content with living the way their families live, are fine with all the cultural norms, not interested in bettering or fixing themselves religiously, and/or just want to maximize their chances of having a long-lasting and easy-going marriage without making any changes to themselves, it would probably be best to marry within their own culture so that whatever Islamic elements their culture still has can be retained in their lives.

For converts, people who come from non-practicing families, and/or those who recognize the lack of Dīn within their cultures/families and genuinely want to improve and work on themselves religiously, marrying outside your culture can range from doable to optimal.

There is a lot of nuance to this topic, especially today. One should consult and discuss with multiple competent and reliable people before making decisions that will significantly impact you and those around you.
