And We had already taken a promise from Adam before, but he forgot; and We found not in him determination.

https://quranx.com/39.11-12

Say, [O Muhammad], "Indeed, I have been commanded to worship Allah, [being] sincere to Him in religion. And I have been commanded to be the first [among you] of the Muslims."

https://quranx.com/7.143

And when Moses arrived at Our appointed time and his Lord spoke to him, he said, "My Lord, show me [Yourself] that I may look at You." [Allah] said, "You will not see Me, but look at the mountain; if it should remain in place, then you will see Me." But when his Lord appeared to the mountain, He rendered it level, and Moses fell unconscious. And when he awoke, he said, "Exalted are You! I have repented to You, and I am the first of the believers."

https://quranx.com/2.126-132

And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits - whoever of them believes in Allah and the Last Day." [Allah] said. "And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment for a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the Fire, and wretched is the destination." And [mention] when Abraham was raising the foundations of the House and [with him] Ishmael, [saying], "Our Lord, accept [this] from us. Indeed You are the Hearing, the Knowing. Our Lord, and make us Muslims [in submission] to You and from our descendants a Muslim nation [in submission] to You. And show us our rites and accept our repentance. Indeed, You are the Accepting of repentance, the Merciful. Our Lord, and send among them a messenger from themselves who will recite to them Your verses and teach them the Book and wisdom and purify them. Indeed, You are the Exalted in Might, the Wise." And who would be averse to the religion of Abraham except one who makes a fool of himself. And We had chosen him in this world, and indeed he, in the Hereafter, will be among the righteous. When his Lord said to him, "Submit", he said "I have submitted [in Islam] to the Lord of the worlds." And Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], "O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims."

guys, uh, i think i might like being lutheran

[transgenderer]

What do you think did happen in Arabia in the 7th century?

Well we don't know! But I think Mohammad was probably not raised by pagans, and was not raised in a city that was mostly pagan. What we do have from preislamic Arabia and especially Syria etc is not pagan but rather a mix of Jewish and Christian (but not ethnically Jewish) that was very common before the rise of orthodox Christianity afyer the nicene council and such. I mean, the story that he magically converted massive quantities of pagans is blatant hagiographic bullshit.

Mohammad is probably a fusion of multiple figures, the idea of a great prophet who was also a great general is pretty dubious imo. MAYBE if he was a prince or something? Idk. Anyway. Probably within arabia the conquest was much more gradual. Or he was a local prince and had some sort of novel strategy, idk. The Quran is probably compiled from multiple sources, maybe an oral tradition. Something really weird happened in it's history, it's a grammatically and lexically and structurally weird work. Who knows what's going on with it. Anyway In the late 800s and early 900s Muslim leaders destroyed all the other sources so we really don't know about the history. Qatar won't let us read their very early Qurans :(

NOTE I'm high and on ghb. So. This might be nonsense

[farisjax]

They say muslims are terrorists and the Quran teaches violence. They never opened the Qur'an and claimed such nonsense. Let's agree as you say for a while that the Quran says kill every non muslim. Don't you think you should've been dead before making those claims about Islam? There shouldn't be any non Muslims alive if your claims are true ? but the beauty of islam is it says if u kill an innocent ( even non muslim ) you massacred the entire humanity.

So my advice is to read the Qur'an before uttering any nonsense

[rpallavicini]

Cats DO walk on quran!

Re: Trump & Ramadan

One of the things that drains me emotionally the most about trump’s second term is the emotional whiplash going from the satirical evening shows like Seth Meyers to Tumblr. You’ll get a lot of the evening news shows being like “Trump, this jokester just fired an entire section of the US government, but then had to rehire them. What a silly goose!”

Then I will go on Tumblr and they will talk about the same thing as if it isn’t terrifying ominous sign that America is slipping into Nazi adjacent fascism and it’s just creating so much… What’s the word? Cognitive dissonance that I just don’t have the mental energy to suss out which one is closer to the truth.

It makes me feel really grateful that Ramadan is coming. John Starling, An Imam from New Jersey, had an Islamic sermon on his YouTube page that just got uploaded today and my mosque has another sermon that they put up on their Facebook. I can share them if anybody cares. But anyway one of them said that one of the things about Ramadan that’s important is going on a diet from the Dunya. The Dunya is anything in the world that isn’t explicitly Islamic. Some of it is harmless stuff like chitchatting with friends, and some of it is like child molestation and murder. It runs the gamut from sitcoms to football to hustling for that promotion to drinking and everything else.

During Ramadan, the general consensus is Muslims try to turn their back on all of this, and just focus on the Islamic path. That means not watching TV or movies or focusing on keeping up-to-date about the news. Not listening to music or trying to even keep up with what the latest albums released are. Turning your back on social media and not making any effort to keep up with what people are saying or keeping up with those conversations.

Normally, that just seems so extreme and unpalatable. Like just a rebuke of joy, and all of this other kind of stuff but, I don’t know if it’s just me, but the news cycle for the last several months has just been wearing me out. Not to mention the corporate homogenization of the Internet has made the idea of turning my back on all of that nonsense and attention economy film flammery – It just really appeals to me right now. I guess it’s one of those situations where I haven’t really been having fun for a lot longer than I remember. So this Ramadan, I’m actually going to be really happy to be turning my back on Tumblr and the news. Not concerning myself with what’s happening in the world. I am in this world, not of it. I need to be focusing on wholesome things. Trying to memorize Surat Al Kahf, Reading the Quran and listening to audiobooks and not worrying about what music I haven’t heard yet on my phone. I don’t need to worry about what my opinion is on some new hot release. It doesn’t matter if Chappell Roan puts out a new album. I don’t need to concern myself with what Kendrick Lamar may or may not be doing. I can turn my back on the terrible orange man and focus on my faith. I feel like engaging with this news cycle has really mutated me into a worse version of myself and I don’t like that it is turning me into a perpetually angry, hot-tempered, frustrated person. I mean, the horrible truth about Trump’s second term is for all of my frustration and all of the things that I have re-blogged about all of the horrible things he has done, none of that has actually probably helped anyone. Even if I have spread the word or educated people, I don’t think doing that has actually stopped any suffering. I don’t think the average person of the mainstream media is particularly concerned with what he’s doing or where he is taking the country.

I’m just saying all this because I don’t know how much I’m gonna be on Tumblr after Saturday which, at least in America is very close to the beginning of Ramadan. I’ve already started getting myself prepared, by finishing up books and theories that might not be in the spirit of Ramadan (bored gay werewolf, Mephisto). Trying to listen to the albums that I am most excited about. I already finished up the last of my coffee so I can switch to tea for Ramadan because one of the tough things for me is that I generally can’t have caffeine when I wake up so there’s not really much of any point in having coffee that might just end up keeping me up. I guess I’m just saying that four years is a really long time and I don’t think that the Democrats in America have much of a sense of the seriousness of what has happened – well except for Bernie Sanders and AOC. (I really wish Bernie Sanders would write a book about the second Trump presidency.) There are some other really awesome people but I think most of them just have perpetual politician brainrot and I think they’re mainly comfortable not really doing much of anything except for what will give them power two years from now. Like, I’m still a Democrat, but one of the things about the Trump era that makes me so incredibly frustrated is how it has created this culture of mediocrity amongst an entire generation of Democrats that they don’t really even need to be good they just need to be not Trump. So many of them are just so milquetoast or mediocre and they don’t need to be better because they just need to be not Trump.

I was going to include the two sermons below, but for some reason Tumblr won’t let me include the links? I don’t know whether it’s just something weird about my phone or Tumblr mobile or whatever but if I can think of it I’ll maybe do that tomorrow when I have access to my laptop.

How would you answer those who deny miracles by saying, “Did the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have miracles but we are not aware of them”?

ANSWER PART- 1

Question:

Some friends of Ahl as-Sunnah keep saying that the Prophet Muhammad had miracles. Did the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have miracles but we are not aware of them? Why are those miracles not included in the Quran? What does ALLAH say about the Prophet Muhammad’s miracles?

Answer:

It will be useful to give each answer under each verse in order to show the true meanings and aims of the verses. Therefore, we will try to make explanations in the form of questions and answers.

Question:

Al-Anam 35: “If their spurning is hard on thy mind, yet if thou wert able to seek a tunnel in the ground or a ladder to the skies and bring them a sign,- (what good?). If it were Allah’s will, He could gather them together unto true guidance: so be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)! “

(Allah tells the Prophet Muhammad not to be ignorant; He says, I do not give you miracles; create a miracle yourself if you can.)

Answer:

- It is emphasized - in summary – in the verse above that it is not possible for a prophet to show a miracle on his own when he wishes without the help of Allah. Can there be anything more natural, reasonable and correct than it? There is no evidence in the verse that the Prophet will not be given any miracles. With the verse, the Prophet is consoled in the face of the denying ignorant people who asked nonsensical things sarcastically from him from time to time. He is asked not to feel sorry due to their words. The consolation is strengthened with the following statement: “If it were Allah’s will, He could gather them together unto true guidance”. (Tabari, Ibn Juzay, the interpretation of the verse in question).

The phrase “be not thou amongst those who are swayed by ignorance (and impatience)” in the verse means do not act impatiently like ignorant people in cases when patience is necessary. (see Tabari, Mawardi, the interpretation of the verse in question)

The following statement in the previous verse, which is related to the verse in question, is the clearest evidence of it:

“Rejected were the apostles before thee: with patience and constancy they bore their rejection and their wrongs.”

Allah means the following in the verse: “Like the other prophets, it is not something that you can do to show a miracle on your own. You are not held responsible because of it. It is a test. The door is opened for the mind in the test but man’s free will is not removed so that everybody will make their choice based on their free will and mind. Therefore, do not upset yourself in vain. “

The verse has nothing to do with asking for miracles. It is natural for a prophet to ask for miracles and it is a prerequisite of prophethood to show miracles. Therefore, it is not possible in terms of religion and mind to attribute ignorance to a prophet who asks for a miracle.  

Question:

Al-Anam 37. “They say: ‘Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘(Allah) hath certainly power to send down a sign: but most of them understand not.’”

(As it is understood from verse 37 of the chapter of al-Anam, the Prophet Muhammad did not bring any miracles. Therefore, the unbelievers said, “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?”)

Answer:

As it is known, the reason why a verse was sent down is generally very important in understanding a verse. The verse in question is one of the verses whose reason to be sent down is known. According to what scholars state, the statement “Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?” in the verse is related to the following verses in the chapter of al-Furqan:

“And they say: ‘What sort of an apostle is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him? Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?’ The wicked say: ‘Ye follow none other than a man bewitched.’” (al-Furqan, 25/7-8)

That verse in question indicates their sarcastic requests and answers them with the following statement: “Say: ‘(Allah) hath certainly power to send down a sign.

'“ (Tabari, the interpretation of the verse in question)

Thus, their requests were not fulfilled because they were not regarded reasonable and it was not regarded appropriate by divine wisdom to reward their sarcastic and spoiled attitudes with a miracle. There is no statement in the verse indicating that the Prophet (pbuh) will not be given any miracles. As a matter of fact, the phrase “but most of them understand not” at the end of the verse indicates that they do not know such wisdom.  

Question:

Yunus 20. “They say: ‘Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The Unseen is only for Allah (to know), then wait ye: I too will wait with you.’”

Answer:

An answer given to deniers is in question in the verse above. As some scholars like Zamakhshari state, the miracles given to the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are much more than the ones given to other prophets. The people of Makkah saw the miracle of the splitting of the moon called “inshiqaq al-qamar” but they made a new offer; although there was a miracle like the Quran, which challenged and refuted them, they insisted on seeing another miracle they offered, which showed their insincerity and spoiled obstinacy regarding the issue and that they had no intention of believing. Instead of giving them a harsh answer that they deserved, Allah, who knew about their insincere and unserious attitudes very well, stated that it was an issue of ghayb belonging to Allah and that He could do it any time He wished; thus, He did not dishearten them and did not put His messenger in a difficult situation. (cf. Zamakhshari, Ibn Kathir, the interpretation of the verse in question)

There is no statement indicating that the Prophet will not be given a miracle in the verse. On the contrary, there is a sign that miracles can be given. Allah’s advice to the Prophet to be patient is an evidence for it.   

Question:

ar-Rad 7. “And the Unbelievers say: ‘Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?’ But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.”

Answer:

As it is the case in the previous verses, there are statements indicating a sarcastic attitude, a stubborn unbelief and a spoiled and ignorant insistence in the verse above.

“And the Unbelievers say: Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?' But thou art truly a warner, and to every people a guide.”

There is no statement about other miracles not being given to the Prophet (pbuh) in the verse above. The following issues are emphasized to console the Prophet in the face of the unserious offers that express nothing but obstinacy like “transform Safa hill into gold” and the offer in the verse “O Allah if this is indeed the Truth from Thee, rain down on us a shower of stones form the sky, or send us a grievous penalty” (al-Anfal, 8/32):

“You are only a warner; you cannot force people to believe. It is not among your duties to give guidance. It belongs to Allah. Therefore, do not feel sad due to the attitudes of the insincere deniers who insist on denial. You have no responsibility regarding the issue.” (cf. Ibn Kathir, Qurtubi, the interpretation of the verse in question)

Question:

Ar-Rad 27. “The Unbelievers say: ‘Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence’”

Answer:

That offer is one of the unserious offers of the stubborn unbelievers. According to what Imam Ahmad b. Hanbal reports from Ibn Abbas, Makkan polytheists said to the Prophet, “Transform Safa hill into gold for us; make nice rivers flow for us; make the mountains around us move and make gardens of pearls and coral instead of them.” Thereupon, Allah said to His Prophet, “I will give them what they want if you wish but if they still do not believe, I will eliminate all of them. I will not give them what they want if you wish and leave the door of mercy and repentance open for them.” The Prophet (pbuh) said he preferred the door of mercy and repentance being left open.

” (Ibn Hanbal, 1/242; Ibn Kathir, the interpretation of the verse in question) 

Consequently, Allah did not give them what they wanted but left the door of mercy and repentance open for them. After a while - especially after the conquest of Makkah – almost all of the polytheists believed and were saved from elimination.

Thus, the sarcastic offers of some people in terms of their stubbornness are mentioned in such verses; their nonsensical offers full of delusions are rejected and answers are given to them. There is no statement about not giving any miracles to the Prophet in them.

if you get enough into philology you can't get taken in by religion because the average apologist is a goddamn illiterate who doesn't give a flying fuck what the bible or the quran or the vedas actually say and half these people think either the world is 6000 years old or that the rig veda is 6000 years old and they're constantly writing a whole bunch of nonsense to support it like omgggggggg religion is a fungus that rots your brain why would anyone believe this shit is history moses wasn't even a real person you stupid assholes fuck you fuck you fuck you why do you claim to be a member of this religion when you can't even READ THE DAMN TEXTS YOURSELF

[religion-is-a-mental-illness]

https://quranx.com/22.65

Do you not see that Allah has subjected to you whatever is on the earth and the ships which run through the sea by His command? And He restrains the sky from falling upon the earth, unless by His permission. Indeed Allah, to the people, is Kind and Merciful.

"Allah" *cough*Muhammad*cough* doesn't know what the sky is.

Any god who talks about the sky like it's an actual thing or place is a fake god.

It’s kinda hard to separate the Israel Palestine conflict from religion at this point as an exmuslim. Every muslim man I knew is violently pro Palestine and would allow you to protest for them until they’re in power then they want sharia law

Asking for a ceasefire and stop killing civilians ≠ defending islam though. If you know my blog you'd know I'm myself very critical of Islam (which condone pedophilia, female oppression, racism/Arab supremacism and violence) but calling the war crimes of Israel has nothing to do with defending islam. Especially when Christians are also victims of this war. Ask yourself why Christian Palestinians go as far as ally with Muslims in their opposition to Israel oppression (something that Israel is extremely uncomfortable with btw).

I refuse to take seriously anyone fearmongering Christians around how Islam is a threat to Christianism when Judaism is as much anti Christian if not worse (the Quran has yet to say the same awful thing about Jesus and Mary as the Talmud does). The only thing stopping religious Jews from representing a threat to Christians is their low number. The last time Jews had the demographic superiority that gave them the opportunity to oppress Christians they took it : they conspirated & lobbied to the roman government to kill Jesus. Jews killed Jesus, not Muslims. History doesn't lie. That's why I I can't help but roll my eyes BIG TIMES whenever the Israeli government tries to paint itself as this Christian ally uwu like- guys, start to repent for what you did to the Messiah and then maaaaybe we'll take seriously your lame attempts at catering to us. For now, you are still as much enemies in Christ (for rejecting as the Messiah) as Muslims or heathens.

I also find funny how this "association by the cause you fight for" only seems to work one way. Zionists have been spouting the vilest racist, anti Black (look up their treatment of falasha and Ethiopian jews they consider so racially inferior they refuse to see them breeding especially with "racially pure" Jews), Jewish racial supremacism nonsense, and yet I hardly see people like you associate every pro Israel as a racist just because they happen to side with them 🤔

"Arabs/Palestinians are anti Black!!" .... so are Zionists/religious Jews lmao Israel is literally an ETHNOSTATE!! What's your point?? I'm a Black person, every country has a derogatory word against us, of course we know the world hates us - still not a reason to turn a blind eye to them behind genocided¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ maybe that's a groundbreaking statement but noone deserves to be killed for being a piece of trash . I'm Christian, the staple of our religion is that everyone can be redeemed.

I oppose this war like I oppose every other war on this planet. It really ain't that complicated. The reason we go off like this is because the gaslighting and victim blaming of Israel is just insufferable. The "they started it first on October 7!!" narrative is dishonest (the occupation/blocus of Gaza started waaay before October 7 and Palestianian resistance didn't come out of a vacuum) and does not justify bombing CIVILIANS. Ukraine has been attacked first too and still didn't use it as a pass to bomb Russian cities with plentiful of civilians just because Russia started first 🤪 because this is a war crime. IDK why it's so hard to understand. Like many people said, Israel is the only country who can attack and bomb 3 countries in the same times while claiming victomhood....sorry but this shit is insufferable lmao Maybe they would be less annoying if they assumed their villainess like the USA or Russia lol

I just had the weirdest nightmare. Gore under the cut

I’m back in high school and this boy who is the twink version of the guy I dated in middle school gets impaled by the neck in this bizarre manner that somehow doesn’t kill him. I keep trying to bring this to someone’s attention and nobody give af. Finally get someone to care and an entire class decides to get on the bus and take him to the hospital themselves but I miss the bus bc I go back and put some stray neck flesh into a baggie.

Then I go back to class??? The class starts talking about the Quran?? A girl tries to sell me her handmade Katseye themed necklaces, bracelets, and press on nails and her collection of hot topic wholesale nonsense. I then skip class to go to the hospital and tell the doctors that nobody gave af about this poor boy getting impaled.

I get to my car which suddenly has a third row and suddenly was broken into without anything being stolen. My sister spawns in to drive instead of me. This is where the scary shit happens.

If suddenly becomes incredibly dark and my sister keeps taking wrong exits bc she can’t see. While ducking Tokyo drifting down one of these wrong turns w/ this white truck that’s also making the same mistakes, A FUCKING 14 WHEELER BECOMES SENTIENT GROWS SPIDER LEGS AND ATTACKS US

We all survive and manage to run to the highway expecting the 14 wheeler to be scared to reveal itself to other humans. The guy in the white truck climbs on another truck and leaves. THE SCARY TRUCK FOLLOWS US INTO THE CITY SND CONFINUES ATTACKING PEOPLE

We seek refuge in a hotel but the truck is now spawning tiny versions of itself to follow us inside. I then wake up. I hate this

[almaqead]

"A Better, Sensible Garden." From Surah 68, Al-Qalam, "Everybody Listen."

I can't sleep because of the noise. So it's back to the way I regain my peace when I feel like the din is overtaking me. I pray over and over "I just want my son" and what do I get? Noise. Always never do I get my son, just the sound of nonsense echoing all around.

About this phenomenon, there is a Surah.

68: 23-41:

"So they went off, whispering to one another,

“Do not let any poor person enter your garden today.”

And they proceeded early, totally fixated on their purpose.

But when they saw it ˹devastated˺, they cried, “We must have lost ˹our˺ way!

In fact, we have been deprived ˹of our livelihood˺.”

The most sensible of them said, “Did I not urge you to say, ‘Allah willing.’?”

They replied, “Glory be to our Lord! We have truly been wrongdoers.”

Then they turned on each other, throwing blame.

They said, “Woe to us! We have certainly been transgressors.

We trust our Lord will give us a better garden than this, ˹for˺ we are indeed turning to our Lord with hope.”1

That is the ˹way of Our˺ punishment ˹in this world˺. But the punishment of the Hereafter is certainly far worse, if only they knew.1 

Indeed, the righteous will have the Gardens of Bliss with their Lord.

Should We then treat those who have submitted like the wicked?

What is the matter with you? How do you judge?

Or do you have a scripture, in which you read

that you will have whatever you choose?

Or do you have oaths binding on Us until the Day of Judgment that you will have whatever you decide?

Ask them ˹O Prophet˺ which of them can guarantee all that.

Or do they have associate-gods ˹supporting this claim˺? Then let them bring forth their associate-gods, if what they say is true."

Commentary:

During the aftermath of my discovery the ancient Hebrew masters accounted for the verses of the Prophet Muhammad, fully justifying the validity of the Quran, the people of France decided to reward the followers of a false god with statehood. This is not to happen.

The people of Palestine are hyenas, they are carrion eaters, they are criminals and slime. You shall not give them a state. They are the defilers of the Quran, they do not believe or obey it, they are not to be allowed to attack Israel or the innocent ever again claiming Allah is their champion.

Neither Allah, His Prophet nor his Book are to be involved further in any hint of trouble on this planet only in the planting of a successful globe spanning faith and intelligent approach to life. The verses above say man is not allowed to lose his way and then suddenly find it again, only to lose his judgement again after that. The suggestion Palestine deserves recognition is an outrageous idea.

Below is a structured reference guide including legal sources, UN resolutions, and scholarly interpretations that help explain why terrorist-affiliated entities or regimes are effectively disqualified from recognition as states under current international law:

🛑 1. UN Charter and International Law Principles

🔹 UN Charter (1945)

Article 1(1): Purpose of the UN is to maintain international peace and security.

Article 2(4): Prohibits threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state.

Implication: Entities that use terrorism violate the foundational principles of the UN and are ineligible for membership or recognition.

📘 Reference: UN Charter – Full Text

🔹 2. Montevideo Convention (1933) – Criteria for Statehood

While not a UN document, it is widely cited in international law for defining statehood.

Article 1 requires:

Permanent population

Defined territory

Government

Capacity to enter into relations with other states

💡 Key Interpretation: Entities that conduct terrorism lack a legitimate government (criterion 3) and cannot enter into peaceful relations (criterion 4). Thus, they fail the Montevideo test.

📘 Reference: Montevideo Convention text: OAS Archive

🛑 3. UN Security Council (UNSC) Resolutions Against Terrorism

UNSC has consistently passed binding resolutions under Chapter VII against granting legitimacy to terrorist organizations.

🔹 Resolution 1373 (2001) – Post-9/11

Obliges all states to deny support, sanctuary, or recognition to terrorist actors.

Emphasizes international criminal accountability.

🔹 Resolution 1267 (1999) – Against Al-Qaeda & Taliban

Establishes sanctions regime against regimes using terrorism.

Sets precedent that terrorism delegitimizes a government.

🔹 Resolution 2178 (2014) – Foreign Terrorist Fighters

Obligates states to prevent the movement and support of terrorists and groups that may seek territorial control.

📘 Reference: UNSC Resolution 1373 (PDF) UN Counter-Terrorism Committee

🛡️ 4. Recognition Policy and Customary Law

🔹 Declaratory vs. Constitutive Theories of Statehood

Under the Constitutive Theory, recognition by other states is essential.

Scholarly consensus: States will not recognize regimes born from terrorism or systematic violence.

📝 Scholarly References:

James Crawford, The Creation of States in International Law (2nd ed., 2006): Argues that terrorism delegitimizes claims to statehood.

Thomas D. Grant, Recognition of States: Law and Practice in Debate and Evolution (Praeger, 1999): Discusses how terrorist origins erode legitimacy.

🚫 5. UN Membership Criteria (Article 4)

Article 4(1), UN Charter:

“Membership in the United Nations is open to all peace-loving states…”

Entities born from or engaged in terrorism, genocide, or crimes against humanity are de facto disqualified from UN recognition and membership.

📘 Reference: UN Membership Criteria

❌ 6. Precedents of Denied Statehood Due to Terrorism or Illegitimacy

ISIS / Daesh: Declared a caliphate in 2014, governed territory, but not a single state recognized it due to its terrorism-based ideology and actions.

Taliban (pre-2021): Was under UN sanctions; not internationally recognized after 2001 until 2021, and even now, UN membership is withheld.

Rhodesia (1965-1979): Declared unilateral independence under a racist regime; UN declared it illegal under Resolution 216 (1965).

Here's an additional bullet specifically addressing Hamas and the current Palestinian leadership in light of the above international legal standards:

❌ Why Hamas and Palestine (as governed by Hamas) Do Not Qualify for Statehood Under International Law:

Governance through Terrorism Disqualifies Statehood Claims Hamas, designated a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union, Canada, Australia, and others, has exercised de facto control over Gaza since 2007 through violent means, including targeting civilians, using human shields, and violating international humanitarian law. These actions:

Violate UN Charter Articles 1 and 2(4) (peaceful relations, prohibition of force),

Breach UNSC Resolutions 1373 and 2178 (prohibition of support for terrorism),

Fail the Montevideo Convention’s requirement of legitimate governance and peaceful external relations, and

Render Palestine (under Hamas control) ineligible for UN membership under Article 4(1), which restricts it to peace-loving states.

Under these terms and conditions, even the USA should be forced to reorganize due to is mafia style abuses of power its own citizens and those located in other countries. A problem that it seems incapable of handling due to the complexities.

As Muhammad warned, the poor and hopeless have been banned from Grace by our planet's careless politicians with very flawed ideas while favoritism is being shown to savages. They must be punished for this, replaced by competent persons who respect the Law and the laws instead. This bloody, disaster prone way of life we live has to end. We have the Scripture, we have read it, now the world must see how sensible it is in practice.

The Law of Magnetic Attraction

“Vile women are for vile men, and corrupted men are for corrupted women, and clean women are for clean men, and kind men are for kind women; these are quit of that which the people say: for them is forgiveness and a provision honoured.” — Quran, Chapter of Light The Physics of the Soul The Quran doesn’t deal in feel-good platitudes or mystical nonsense. When it speaks of attraction, it’s…

Yes modesty is so beautiful and I love it.

But I think, the hijab verse in the Quran can be perceived differently. I’m talking about the covering the hair part. Both men and women have to cover their private parts. Allah ordered us to cover our “awrah”. Many people says awrah is from the knee to our belly button. And women also have to cover their cleavage cause in the verse it says tell them to bring down over themselves of their garments. Nothing is advised about covering hair, at least I get it like that. Also a person’s private parts become “awrah” when they hit puberty, that means they’re becoming adults, their private parts start to develop. It’s when they become responsible for their sins.

Also a girl borns with her hair and her hair doesn’t change at all, to me, it doesn’t become awrah. It’s only hair. And the arguments about “women have to cover because their hair can arouse a men” is completely nonsense cause as a woman, I can say the same thing about a man’s hair. I see some guys with gorgeous hair and it adds to his charm definitely, so why the double standards. Allah first says “tell them to lower their gaze” , and I have to cover my hair so they can get aroused? Doesn’t make sense to me, I almost feel it’s cruel and I definitely don’t think Allah is cruel at all, he is the most merciful of all. And he doesn’t discriminate between genders.

That’s just my take though. I honestly respect every woman who wears it, it takes so much strength to keep wearing it.

Ooo I completely understand where you’re coming from. Have you seen this video She breaks down similar things to what you’re saying.

Religious topics are so tricky because so much culture influences it so I completely agree with you when it comes to the perception of quran. It’s also important to mention that only interpretations of men have been passed down too and you know what they’re like

The double standards have always been tricky for me to deal with too. Men seem to forget that before the hijab is mentioned, they are told to lower their gaze. I really only listen to women scholars (if I see them on my feed) for that reason only. Religion is so tricky to navigate with

How would you answer those who deny miracles by saying, “Did the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) have miracles but we are not aware of them”?

ANSWER PART- 2

Question:

Al-Anbiya 5. “’Nay’ they say, ‘(these are) medleys of dream! - Nay, He forged it! - Nay, He is (but) a poet! Let him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (Prophets) of old!’”

Answer:

Attention is attracted to the stubborn and irrational insistence of the deniers about unbelief in the verse above. For instance, they make different judgments - which show their ignorance - about the Quran, which is a treasure of miracles. They say, “Sometimes it is a magic, sometimes the words of a poet, sometimes the words of a soothsayer and sometimes a fabricated tale.” This indecision of theirs shows that they themselves do not believe in the wrong things they attribute to the Prophet and that they are away from displaying a determined attitude regarding the issue.

Their inconsistent delusions are indicated as follows in the Quran (cf. Ibn Kathir, the interpretation of the verse in question):

“See what similes they strike for thee: but they have gone astray, and never can they find a way.” (al-Isra, 17/48);

“And they say: ‘What sort of an apostle is this, who eats food, and walks through the streets? Why has not an angel been sent down to him to give admonition with him? Or (Why) has not a treasure been bestowed on him, or why has he (not) a garden for enjoyment?’ The wicked say:‘Ye follow none other than a man bewitched.’ See what kinds of comparisons they make for thee! But they have gone astray, and never a way will they be able to find!” (al-Furqan, 25/7-9)

What can be the significance of showing the miracles that they want to those people, who view the Quran, the miraculous book, stubbornly and biasedly with their nonsensical words? It does not seem possible for those people who do not accept the Quran, which is a miracle in various ways and which is before their eyes, to accept other miracles. There remain two alternatives: They will be shown those miracles and they will be eliminated totally in accordance with the principle of Allah valid for the previous nations. The verse coming immediately after the verse in question describes it clearly:  

“(As to those) before them, not one of the populations which We destroyed believed: will these believe?” (al-Anbiya, 21/6)

Or, their offers will not be accepted and the door of repentance and mercy will be left open for them - for the sake of the Prophet (pbuh) – and they will be given opportunity to become believers. Allah preferred the second alternative with His infinite mercy. (cf. Ibn Ashur, the interpretation of the verse in question)

Question:

Ar-Rad 38. “And it was never the part of an apostle to bring a sign except as Allah permitted (or commanded).”

(The verse is very clear.)

Answer:

The meaning of the verse above is really clear: No prophet can show a miracle without the permission of Allah. That meaning has no ambiguous aspect. However, to make a judgment from the verse that the Prophet was not given miracles is really something dark.

Question:

Al-Ankabut 50. “Ye they say: ‘Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The signs are indeed with Allah and I am indeed a clear Warner.’”

(See how the Prophet Muhammad answers those who expect miracles from him. He does not say, “I am the best prophet and these are my miracles” as Ahl as-Sunnah claims.)

Answer:

What is meant by the signs/miracles in the verse above is Safa hill being transformed into gold and similar nonsense - as it was mentioned above - or the miracles related to senses shown by previous prophets like the Staff of Hz. Musa (Moses). (Mawardi, the interpretation of the verse in question)

It is indicated in the expressions in the verse above that miracles can take place with the creation of Allah and that no prophet can show a miracle without the permission of Allah as it is mentioned in the previous verses.

The meaning “I am not given miracles”can never be deduced from the statement “and I am indeed a clear Warner” in the verse above. On the contrary, its meaning is as follows:

“It belongs to Allah to create miracles through my hand. It is not my duty and I am not held responsible for it. I have no such authority. I will be held responsible for only one thing: to convey the book of Allah to people and to warn clearly those who do not believe in His Messenger. The Quran is enough for that warning. How can a person who does not believe in a visible miraculous book like the Quran believe in other miracles?”

However, it is emphasized in the following verse of the chapter of al-Anam that to warn people is the common characteristic of all prophets:

“We send the apostles only to give good news and to warn: so those who believe and mend (their lives),- upon them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. But those who reject our signs,- them shall punishment touch, for that they ceased not from transgressing.” (al-Anam, 6/48-49)

Anyone who looks at verses 50 and 51 of the chapter of al-Ankabut together will know that what we say is true:  

“They say: ‘Why are not Signs sent down to him from his Lord?’ Say: ‘The signs are indeed with Allah. and I am indeed a clear Warner.’ And is it not enough for them that we have sent down to thee the Book which is rehearsed to them? Verily, in it is Mercy and a Reminder to those who believe.” (al-Ankabut, 29/50-51)
