"Ultimately, from the ballet of the UN to the elegance of the gardens, you continue to pursue the same ideal—harmony. Your lineage is a symbol of this same harmony, as it is of the values that France cherishes: compassion, tolerance, respect, and human dignity." President Macron
The truths of 2+2=4 including form of 2ness and the form of 4ness are either uncreated meaning they exist ontologically independent or they are created meaning they are dependent on God to subsist at all. If you say they are uncreated then you’re a polytheist who believes in…
Hahahaha. Zindeeq Khalil believes that Allah didn't know that 2+2=4. But then created the knowledge that 2+2=4. I seek refuge in Allah from such filth!

Salafis like @MMetaphysician believe exactly the same thing as Craig - that God’s knowledge updates as the objects of knowledge undergo change.
Don't get your theology from William Lane Craig.
Jay Smith is a polemicist spouting fringe theories and should be summarily dismissed.
What if we've never been told the full story about the historic origins of Muhammad, Mecca, & the Qur'an? In this episode, Dr. Jay Smith returns to expose the shocking lack of historical evidence for Islam. #DrFrankTurekPodcast Listen here👉📱 bit.ly/40vDxjs
Does the Qur'an Mistake 'Mary' for 'Miriam'? Why does the Qur'an call 'Mary' the 'Sister of Aaron'? A Thread 🧵| #quran #islam #mary
I don’t agree with @abdul_now theological views but he has a valid point here against the Ash’aris - if you literally affirm knowledge and life as God’s attributes you also run onto problem of tashbih or you must do tafwid or take them as metonyms - which @BalaamAndDonkey would…
In this post (and in the back and forth under it), brother Haroun is basically saying: “If you affirm that Allah is literally above the Throne, then the Tashbih in this diagram follows.” Then when someone says, “No, that’s not accurate”, he replies: “Then you’re just a Mufawwid…
In his latest video on the Quranic usage of the first person plural “We” for the divine voice, Michael Jones @InspiringPhilos claimed the Quranic God cannot validly use the Majestic We because He is one without a plurality; but Michael only cited an American legal scholar writing…
God per Ibn Taymiyya has a big hole inside of Himself.
This is the simplest way to put it. Keep this diagram in mind when reading Sh Ibn Taymia's works and everything will make sense.
Does the Qur'an misrepresent the Trinity? Was there a group who believed Mary was God? A Thread 🧵 | #quran #islam
I’m just curious - which of your publications is peer reviewed? I’d be interested to read them. @MrAdnanRashid
I completely disagree with Dr @YasirQadhi here. I am a peer reviewed academic in the field of history. I do not believe the western historical critical method is completely credible or unbiased when it comes to hadith sciences. I invite Mr Qadhi for a dialogue on this.
Unity and Multiplicity 🧵 1/ Unity and multiplicity are not opposites. Multiplicity proceeds from Unity. It is not a rupture, but a projection — a deployment of the possible. Unity, in the metaphysical sense, is beyond number and contains no division.
"By the unity [ἑνὰδι] beyond Intellect, it is united [συνάπτεται] to the One, and through this union [ἑνώσεως] it knows the One as that which is not what being is [τὸ μὴ ὂντι τῷ ὄντι]; therefore, it knows the One negatively [ἀποφατικῶς]." Proclus - Im Parm. 1080.4-6
The lower part of batini Shi’ism is our critique of Sunnism. The higher part is knowing when to get out of the way and let Sunnis do their thing; or amplify the good in it. After all the path of Zahir was the path given to most Muslims by Muhammad and Ali. See Sinan and Saladin.
