Me, observing non-Muslim Bitcoiners commenting as the events of Gaza unfold. 🤔
It always fascinates me seeing non-Muslim bitcoiners always talking about how the media lies about Bitcoin with FUD, about covid, fiat, but all of a sudden accept what they say about Islam & Muslims.
The reason? https://video.nostr.build/7ce652a65fbd220ea4fd5ba677e25c75702bf56d0ccd6b59758d05a78e0f64ab.mov
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
Salaah in congregation is a practice highly recommended in Islam, endowed with merits that go beyond individual worship. It's not just about fulfilling an obligation; it's about enriching the soul while fostering community and brotherhood.
Firstly, the rewards are manifold. A prayer offered in congregation is 25 to 27 times more rewarding than a prayer performed alone, according to hadith. This alone signifies its importance in the sight of Allah.
Moreover, congregational prayer strengthens the bonds of brotherhood. When you stand shoulder to shoulder, regardless of social or economic status, it underscores the concept of equality before Allah. It erases divisions and creates a sense of unity that is integral to the Ummah.
Praying in the mosque has its unique charm and benefits. The mosque serves as a spiritual hub, a place not just for worship but also for community activities, learning, and mutual support. Regular attendance at the mosque for Salaah keeps you connected, not just to Allah, but also to your community.
Thus, Salaah in congregation is a multi-faceted gem, offering spiritual, communal, and social benefits.
#SalaahInCongregation #Community #Brotherhood 🕌
May Allah make us amongst those who establish regular prayers in congregation and taste the sweetness of brotherhood in faith. Ameen. 
The practice of Salaah extends far beyond physical movements; it nourishes the soul, and in doing so, fortifies mental and emotional well-being. Consistent prayer acts as a spiritual anchor, grounding us amidst the chaos of daily life.
Salaah instills a routine that organises not just our day but our priorities. Five times a day, we detach from worldly matters to focus solely on Allah. This detachment is a form of emotional detox, offering a break from stress and anxieties.
Psychologically, the submission and humility in Salaah foster emotional resilience. Acknowledging that we are under the care of an All-Powerful Creator provides comfort and eliminates feelings of helplessness.
Moreover, Salaah nurtures our relationship with Allah, elevating our spiritual state. Each prayer is a step on the path of closeness to Him, a dialogue that goes beyond words. It's a private consultation with Allah, where you're free to express gratitude, seek guidance, and ask for relief from hardships.
In essence, the consistent practice of Salaah is a holistic remedy, catering to the spiritual, emotional, and mental dimensions of a Muslim.

May Allah keep us steadfast in our prayers and bless us with the tranquility it brings. Ameen 
The Salaah, our daily submission to Allah, answering to the call of Allaah, is founded on a structured set of actions and intentions, each symbolising unique facets of submission to the Him, Subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa.
Firstly, the Niyyah (intention) initiates the Salaah. It's the mental and spiritual preparation, acknowledging the Supreme One to whom you are about to submit. It is the compass directing the heart towards Allah. With no partners or associates.
Then comes the Qiyam (standing), representing our vigilance and readiness to obey Allah. As we stand erect, facing the Qiblah, it reminds us of the unity and equality in Islam, and how we all stand before Allah as His servants.
The Ruku (bowing) comes next, symbolising our humility before Allah. As we bow, we cast aside our ego, pride, and worldly concerns, acknowledging Allah's greatness.
Lastly, the Sujood (prostration) is the apex of our submission. In this act, we place our forehead, the symbol of honour and dignity, on the ground. It's the utmost surrender, indicating that we lower ourselves only before the One who is the Most High.
Thus, Salaah is not merely a ritual but a comprehensive act of submission, each pillar paving the way for a closer, more intimate relationship with Allah.
#PillarsOfSalaah #Niyyah #Qiyam #Ruku #Sujood 🌿
May Allah accept our Salaah and guide us to perfect our worship. Ameen. 
This is an eg of “don’t short change people in weight & volume (in sales)” the sin that the people of Saalih excelled out. It’s cheating & haraam. They need to make it clear, as the Hadeeth says “if you clarify, Allaah will place blessing in the trade”

This is a great feature that has a lot of potential when building an online retail business. So here’s a flow:
1) Merchant makes a normal invoice for p&p and return p&p fee if product is not accepted or delivered, and sends that to the customer.
2) Customer pays that invoice and sends a return HODL invoice for the money paid for the p&p return once the delivery is accepted
3) Merchant pays that HODL invoice to return the fee for not returning the goods and then sends a HODL invoice for the purchase of the item.
4) Customer pays HODL invoice for the item and waits for delivery.
5) At this point we have:
a) Product in transit
b) HODL invoice to return p&p fee to customer once they accept
c) HODL invoice for payment of product
The only thing that was paid for was the p&p which is happening now as the product t is in transit
6) Upon delivery, the delivery guy gives a QR code that affirms that the item has been delivered, that will trigger the above HODL invoices, refunding the customer and paying the merchant, all in real time.
Based on the above, there is zero risk of loss for either the merchant or customer. The customer only pays for the goods when they receive it and the merchant guarantees that his goods will return to him, paid by the customer, if something goes wrong with the delivery. It’s almost like an ‘atomic purchase’. The only one who actually ‘technically loses out’ would be the customer who paid for p&p and return, but that’s only fair. Why should the merchant pay for the customer backing out of the deal.
This would also mitigate conflict about product not being delivered to the right person. Only the customer with the preimage can receive the goods and if someone were to intercept it, we would know it wasn’t delivered. So you get confirmation of correct delivery with delivery.
Black Africa unite for what? Under what?
As a Muslim, speaking on what I have learnt from Islam, this is a “Da’wah jaahiliyyah”. A call to pre-Islamic ignorance. Unity is upon common goals & righteousness, ie Islam. Not upon geography, tribe, & most definitely not skin colour
https://x.com/africanhub_/status/1703428134782353623?s=46&t=AeUubJVXjsWeffPXQIjUGA
But in a world run and managed by racist ideologies, it’s not a surprise that we see ‘counter calls’ for much of the same racism. Just bcoz those that oppress you see you as worthless scum just bcoz you look a certain way, are from a certain place or tribe, doesn’t mean you need to accept their corrupt ideas and just ‘re-project’ it to someone else.
That’s what Malcom X realised when he went to Makkah and performed the hajj, seeing people from around the world, from all walks of life, tribes, colours, forms and shapes, all united under one banner, all worshipping Allaah as one. He realised that it was possible to unite under a real meaningful banner, a banner that is both fair and true. Nobody chose who they were born to, where they were born or how they looked, but they all chose chose Islam, chose righteousness and chose Tawheed. If you unite, you unite under that banner. Under the banner of a unified ideology, practice and belief. Not under arbitrary passports and meaningless geographical interests. Those interests only serve the powers of those who control those areas and locations, it doesn’t serve the greater good.
So I unite with any Muslim, be he African, Asian, European or American, as long as they agree to act and behave in the best interests of mankind, as directed to us by Islam. Serving the people, upon fairness and justice, in an agreement to repel all forms of tyranny and injustice.
After reading this article, I gave the following comments:
Islamic banking
If they say your deposit is a “Deposit given for safe keeping” this is called in Islamic law a “wadee’ah”. This means they should not touch it. But if they do without permission, then they become 100% liable for its repayment as they are not supposed to touch it. But most importantly, if something grows from it, it belongs to the owner of the capital. That means taking the profits or some of it would amount to theft (islamically speaking) if occurred without explicit permission. If they use it with permission, then it’s mudhaarabah, ie venture capital investment and that means the depositor could lose their deposit and the bank wouldn’t be liable unless due to negligence. This needs to be made clear, which is why I’ve never agreed that any of these ‘Islamic banks’ are Islamic, as I’ve NEVER seen this risk communicated to depositors. I only see ‘guaranteed % gains’ and no ‘% gains of any profits OR LOSSES’.
What was interesting about this article is that it talks about
“All this does, is that instead of Bank A lending money to Bank B and asking for a slightly higher amount (i.e. an interest rate), Bank A will sell something (usually a metal, like copper) to Bank B at a slightly higher price than the current market price and Bank B will pay for this copper at a later date (depending on when the money is due).”
But such a transaction would be Ribaa, ironically. How? Well as I explained in my Ribaa video, metals are ‘fungible’ items and therefore from the ‘ribaweeyaat’ (items that Ribaa occurs on) and therefore need immediate settlement if exchanged for different ‘types’ like copper for gold, and need to be equal amounts as well as immediate settlement if the same time like gold for gold.
So muraabahah in the above mentioned form would still be Ribaa, but Ribaa al fadhl.
So when the author states:
“It’s not hard to see that this is practically the same thing as a loan with interest. “
I would go one step further and say that it is 100% Ribaa as described. The only way it wouldn’t be is if the item being sold is not fungible. But if it’s not fungible, then it wouldn’t be used as it would be a terrible medium of exchange (ie money). Imagine it was property in stead of copper, that means a surveyor would have to be employed with every transaction, evaluating the value of the home and its state, etc. ie the very reason it cannot be used as money. And if they ‘bundled’ a basket of non-fungible items and gave an overall value’ to the basket in order to ‘monetise’ it then there is definitely gharar involved, as the individual items in the basket 🧺 is not clear.
An overall great article. Maybe something could be formulated using fedimint, but that would still require some regulatory alignment I would assume. I can’t imagine it would be easy to operate anything like this idea without bending the knee to a central bank or regulatory body. But I’m sure it’s possible somehow. @CaitlinLong_ managed to start something with a similar idea of a full reserve banking system. So we’ll see how this space progresses.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
The formula for success in this dunya and the Hereafter lies in a perfect blend of faith (iman) and righteous deeds (amal salih). Faith is the foundation, the root that nourishes the tree of actions. Without iman, deeds lack soul and purpose. With it, every act becomes a step towards salvation.
Righteous actions are the fruits of this faith, impacting not only our earthly existence but echoing into eternity. They weigh heavy on the Mizan, assisting us during the pivotal moments of the Akhirah.
Intercession (Shafa'ah) by our beloved Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم is another mercy, exclusively for the Ummah who held firm to faith and good deeds. His intercession can elevate our status and offer relief in moments of immense distress.
Soorah Al-Asr encapsulates this divine formula succinctly: mankind is indeed in a state of loss, except for those who believe, perform righteous deeds, advise each other with truth and righteousness, and counsel each other to be patient. These are the four timeless principles to triumph over the perpetual loss ordained for mankind.
#FaithAndDeeds #Iman #AmalSalih #Shafaah #SoorahAlAsr 🌱
May Allah strengthen our faith, accept our deeds, and make us eligible for the Prophet's intercession. Ameen. 
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
The Day of Judgment will present two monumental trials: the Mizan and the Sirat. The Mizan, or Scale, symbolises divine justice, a precise weighing of our deeds, good and bad. On this day, actions the size of mountains will be evaluated, and everyone will receive a book detailing their life's deeds, with nothing omitted.
The Sirat, a bridge thinner than a hair yet sharper than a sword, spans over the hellfire and leads to heaven. Crossing it successfully depends on the weight of your good deeds on the Mizan. The righteous will pass swiftly, like a bolt of lightning, while others may crawl, stumble or, may Allah protect us, fall into Jahannam below.
Remember, every act, no matter how small, has implications for your journey over the Sirat. Your deeds will either illuminate your path or plunge you into darkness. Thus, let us strive to tip the scales in our favour and light our way across the perilous bridge.
#DayOfJudgment #Mizan #Sirat #DivineJustice 🌌
May Allah grant us the ability to cross the Sirat with ease and enter Jannah. Ameen. 
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
The existence of Jahannam serves as both a dire warning and a realm for divine justice. Its purpose is twofold: punishment for those who reject faith and purification for some sinners before they enter Jannah.
The torment in Jahannam is unimaginable, far more severe than any earthly fire. It is a dark, stifling place with flames that leap out in rage, boiling fluids, and molten copper. The skins of the damned are perpetually burned and renewed, intensifying their suffering. May Allah protect us from such an end.
Among the dwellers of Jahannam are those who committed major sins without repentance, including engaging in Ribaa (usury), both giving and taking. Such sinful acts weigh heavily in the scales of justice. The Qur'an explicitly warns that those who practice Ribaa are waging war against Allah and His Messenger (SAW).
Let Jahannam serve as a reminder for us to stay vigilant against sin and to make continuous repentance. Let us shun major sins like Ribaa, which not only harm society but also doom the soul.
#HellInIslam #Jahannam #Ribaa #DivineJustice 🛑
May Allah protect us from the torments of Jahannam and guide us to the straight path. Ameen.

What's Really Moving the Bitcoin Price Needle?
Everyone loves a good mystery, and Bitcoin's price movements are the Da Vinci Code of the financial world. From Halving cycles to the M2 money supply, theories abound. But what's really driving this roller coaster? Let's delve in.
The Halving Hypothesis
For over a decade, Bitcoin enthusiasts have sworn by the halving cycles. The theory is simple: cut the supply in half, and the price will shoot up as demand remains constant. It's like rationing chocolate and expecting people to pay more for it because it's scarce. This has been Bitcoin's story so far, but could it be just that— a story?
The Alternatives: Don't Be a Zealot
Bitcoin might be a big deal, but let's not treat it like it's descended from the heavens. There are alternative theories that question the sacred halving. After all, Litecoin and Ethereum have also tweaked their coin production rates, but their price movements tell a different story.
The Almighty Dollar
Here's a twist—what if Bitcoin's fate is tied to the U.S. dollar? The evidence is compelling. When the dollar strengthens, Bitcoin's price typically drops. If we're measuring Bitcoin in dollars, it makes sense, right? Think of it as weighing yourself while the Earth's gravity keeps changing. It's going to mess with your numbers.
Money Printer Goes Brrr: The M2 Factor
Another plotline is Bitcoin dancing to the tune of the M2 money supply. When governments and banks print more money, Bitcoin’s price tends to go up. It's as if Bitcoin is saying, "Oh, you have more money? I'm more expensive now."
The Mood of the Markets
Lastly, could Bitcoin just be riding the waves of market sentiment? When the financial climate is sunny, Bitcoin sunbathes. But when there's an economic storm, it’s back under the umbrella.
So What's the Real Deal?
Here’s a wild thought: what if all these factors are just different sides of the same dice? All these elements—halving, M2, the dollar, and market sentiment—are just part of the bigger "supply and demand" equation. The halving wouldn't even matter if nobody wanted Bitcoin in the first place.
The Grand Equation
So, let's summarise with a snazzy equation:
Supply (Halving + M2) = Demand (1/DXY + Market Sentiment)
The Final Word
The unique thing about Bitcoin’s halving is its independence. While M2, the dollar, and market sentiment are all tangled up like a ball of wool, the halving cycle operates on its own. Skeptics abound, but isolating this variable is near impossible. Still, as time goes on and data piles up, we might just crack the code on Bitcoin's enigmatic price movements.
Why can't all these factors contribute to the grand theatre of Bitcoin's price? After all, life is rarely about single causes and effects; it’s a messy, multi-variable equation. 
Send me the SATs…I’ll happily ignore the ads for SATs
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
The concept of Jannah in Islam is beyond human imagination, a realm of perpetual bliss and unparalleled beauty. Rivers of milk, honey, wine, and pure water flow beneath gardens of eternal spring. Palaces of indescribable splendour await the righteous, adorned with jewels that make the treasures of this world pale in comparison.
Jannah is not a one-size-fits-all paradise; it comprises various levels, each reflecting the piety and good deeds of its inhabitants. The higher the level, the closer one is to the Divine Presence of Allah. Imagine being neighbours with Prophets, Sahaabah, and righteous beings!
As for the dwellers of Jannah, they are granted privileges beyond measure. Immortal youth, everlasting happiness, and the joy of gazing upon the face of Allah—the ultimate reward. In Jannah, every desire is fulfilled before it is even articulated, a place where the hardships of the dunya are forgotten, replaced by an eternity of joy.
Contemplate these wonders as a motivation to strive for righteousness. May our final abode be Al-Firdaus, the highest level of Jannah, close to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
#HeavenInIslam #Jannah #EternalBliss 🌳
May Allah grant us all a place in Jannah. Ameen. 
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
As we navigate through the transient landscape of this dunya, let us not forget the imminent reality of the Day of Judgment—Qiyamah. The signs leading up to this awe-inspiring day are both minor and major, each serving as a divine alarm bell. Minor signs like widespread dishonesty and the deterioration of morals are already unfolding, while major signs like the return of 'Isa (AS) and the emergence of Al-Dajjal herald the final hour.
Imagine the celestial trumpet, blown by the angel Israfil, erasing life from existence and then heralding the resurrection. In a blink, the graves open and souls gather on the Plains of Arafat, awaiting their fate.
In this grand assembly, scrolls of deeds unfurl. Every action, every utterance, laid bare for scrutiny. May Allah make our scales heavy with good deeds.
The Book of Life shall be either in your right hand—a ticket to Jannah—
or your left, may Allah protect us, leading to torment.
وَوُضِعَ ٱلۡكِتَـٰبُ فَتَرَى ٱلۡمُجۡرِمِینَ مُشۡفِقِینَ مِمَّا فِیهِ وَیَقُولُونَ یَـٰوَیۡلَتَنَا مَالِ هَـٰذَا ٱلۡكِتَـٰبِ لَا یُغَادِرُ صَغِیرَةࣰ وَلَا كَبِیرَةً إِلَّاۤ أَحۡصَىٰهَاۚ وَوَجَدُوا۟ مَا عَمِلُوا۟ حَاضِرࣰاۗ وَلَا یَظۡلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَدࣰا﴿ ٤٩ ﴾
“And the Book (one's Record) will be placed (in the right hand for a believer in the Oneness of Allah, and in the left hand for a disbeliever in the Oneness of Allah), and you will see the Mujrimun, criminals, fearful of that which is (recorded) therein. They will say: "Woe to us! What sort of Book is this that leaves neither a small thing nor a big thing, but has recorded it with numbers!" And they will find all that they did, placed before them, and your Lord treats no one with injustice.”
Reflect deeply, for these moments are not mere tales but a pending reality. Let's live with the Akhirah in sight and aim to hear those blessed words: "Well done, O faithful servant."
#DayOfJudgment #Qiyamah #Signs #Accountability 🌿
May Allah make us among those who are successful on that Day. Ameen. 
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
SubhanAllah, the journey of the soul after death is a profound reality every believer should ponder. The moment of death marks the beginning, as the Angel of Death extracts the soul gently for the righteous, and harshly for the disbeliever.
Then comes 'Barzakh', an intermediate realm, a veil separating this dunya from the Hereafter. Here, souls reside, awaiting the Day of Judgment. It's a realm of reflection, a mirror reflecting the deeds we accumulated. Some punished for the evil they have done in this life while others having ease, a taste what’s to come. The punishment of the grave is real…
In the solitude of the grave, two formidable angels, Munkar and Nakir, approach. These emissaries of Allah question the deceased about their Lord, their faith, and their Prophet. A believer will find ease, answering confidently. But for those who lived heedlessly, these questions become unanswerable torment.
Let's prepare for this inevitable journey. Weigh your deeds against the scales of the Akhirah. May Allah make us among those who answer with certainty in the grave and awaken in eternal bliss. And I ask Allaah to allow us to use this dunyaa for our hereafter, and not change our goals to be for this fleeting life.
#JourneyOfTheSoul #Barzakh #MunkarAndNakir #IslamicFaith 🌹
May Allah guide us all to the straight path. Ameen. 
🌙 Let's journey through the profound concept of Aakhirah (the Hereafter) in Islam and its significance in our lives. 🌌
The Aakhirah is the life after death, a realm where every soul will be held accountable for its deeds, and therefore rewarded with good and punished for their wrongdoings. It comprises the life in the grave, Barzakh, the Day of Judgment, Paradise (Jannah), and Hellfire (Jahannam). The Allaah says in the Quran,
كُلُّ نَفۡسࣲ ذَاۤىِٕقَةُ ٱلۡمَوۡتِۗ وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوۡنَ أُجُورَكُمۡ یَوۡمَ ٱلۡقِیَـٰمَةِۖ فَمَن زُحۡزِحَ عَنِ ٱلنَّارِ وَأُدۡخِلَ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ فَقَدۡ فَازَۗ وَمَا ٱلۡحَیَوٰةُ ٱلدُّنۡیَاۤ إِلَّا مَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡغُرُورِ﴿ ١٨٥ ﴾
Everyone shall taste death. And only on the Day of Resurrection shall you be paid your wages in full. And whoever is removed away from the Fire and admitted to Paradise, he indeed is successful. The life of this world is only the enjoyment of deception (a deceiving thing).
(Quran 3:185).
The purpose of Aakhirah in Allah's creation is to serve as a realm of ultimate justice, where the righteous are rewarded and the wrongdoers face consequences. An anchor point for the believers to work towards and a warning to those who turn away.
Significance in Shaping Behavior:
The belief in Aakhirah serves as a moral compass. Knowing that our actions have eternal consequences encourages righteous conduct and deters wrongdoing. It instills a sense of accountability, fostering ethical behaviour in personal, social, and economic spheres. The Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم said,
"Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler."
This Hadith emphasises the transient nature of this world and the importance of preparing for the eternal life of the Hereafter. No matter how much I propagate the idea that Bitcoin will help the Muslims purify their financial lives, none of it has any value if it’s not to benefit you on a day when every ounce of deeds will be collected and measure in full. No amount of good or bad will be missed.
🌹 Why This Matters: The concept of Aakhirah is not just about the future; it shapes our present. It reminds us of the bigger picture, guiding our choices and actions, ensuring we lead a life aligned with divine guidance.
May Allah grant us the wisdom to understand the significance of the Aakhirah and live our lives in its light, striving for eternal success. Ameen. 🤲 
Sorry, but I don’t understand your point. You mean a description? Or name? And what is this supposed to mean?
Unless you’re deliberately trying to be vague, and if that’s the case then let’s leave it at that then
🌙 In today's fast-paced world, let's pause and reflect on the timeless principle of Tawheed and its relevance amidst modern challenges. 🌐
1️⃣ Globalisation
As the world becomes a global village, diverse beliefs and cultures intermingle. While this brings knowledge, it also poses challenges to the Muslim and their manifestation of Tawheed in their live. The omnipresence of various ideologies can sometimes dilute the pure understanding of the Oneness of Allah or lead one to compromise their Tawheed in their actions. Yet, it's also an opportunity: Tawheed can be the anchor, grounding Muslims amidst the global whirlwind.
2️⃣ Secularism
The rise of secular thought seeks to separate religion from public life. While it claims to promote religious freedom, it often sidelines spiritual values. Tawheed reminds us that Allah's guidance is holistic, relevant for both personal spirituality and societal governance.
3️⃣ Modernity and Materialism
The modern age, with its technological marvels, often emphasises material success. The race for worldly gains can overshadow our spiritual purpose. Tawheed, emphasising the transient nature of this world, can be the compass directing us towards eternal success.
🌟 Tawheed as a Healing Balm
- Family: In an age where family structures are under strain, Tawheed reinforces the importance of kinship ties, reminding us of our duties to relatives through the recognition that Allaah is the ultimate authority, and source for all family disputes and differences..
- Mental Health: The rise in mental health issues in the modern age is alarming. Tawheed offers solace, reminding us of Allah's mercy, love, and the bigger picture beyond worldly struggles. Simply embodying the statement of Allaah:
“Seek help with patience and Salaah, Verily Allaah is with those who are patience”
Will have significant impact upon ones own mental state, given one tranquility and peace of mind.
- Materialism: The sickness of materialism can be cured by understanding Tawheed, which teaches contentment, gratitude, and the pursuit of lasting, not fleeting, success in the hearafter. Through recognising that this world is a test, and that the only success isnt through the acquisition of wealth, but the attainment of Allaah’s pleasure.
🌹 Why This Matters
Tawheed isn't just a theological concept; it's a way of life. In the maze of modern challenges, it's the guiding light, helping us prioritise, find balance, and stay connected to our Creator.
May Allah grant us the clarity to see the beauty of Tawheed amidst the noise of modernity and use it as our shield and guide. Ameen. 🤲
#Tawheed #ModernChallenges #GuidingLight 🌙🕋 
Feel free to correct me…but just for context, I was born and raised into a Christian family until I later accepted Islam.
Look forward to your feedback.
🌙 Let's embark on a journey of understanding: Tawheed in the context of the people of the book. 🌍
1️⃣ Tawheed in Islam
At the heart of Islam lies Tawheed, the pure, unadulterated belief in the Oneness of Allah. It's not just about acknowledging His existence but understanding His unique attributes, free from human limitations, and His right that we worship none, but Him.
بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِیمِ قُلۡ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ
لَمۡ یَلِدۡ وَلَمۡ یُولَدۡ
وَلَمۡ یَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدُۢ
Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, (the) One.
"Allah-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks).
"He begets not, nor was He begotten;
"And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him."
2️⃣ Depleted Monotheism in Judaism
While Judaism firmly believes in the Oneness of God, there have been instances where attributes of creation are ascribed to Him, such as getting tired and resting, being stingy etc. Additionally, the elevation of rabbis has led to them making lawful what Allah made unlawful and vice versa, indirectly placing them above God in legislative matters.
3️⃣ Christianity's Trinity
Christianity introduced the concept of the Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This diverges from pure monotheism, as Jesus (peace be upon him), a revered prophet and messenger of Allaah, is elevated to divinity. Islam's Tawheed emphasises that no being, regardless of their virtue, can be equated with Allah. How can Jesus be God when he has a God?
Matt. 27:46, Mark 15:34, John 20:17, Rom. 15:6, 2 Cor. 1:3, 2 Cor. 11:31, Eph. 1:3, Eph 1:17, Heb. 1:9, 1 Pet. 1:3, Rev. 1:6, Rev. 3:2, Rev. 3:12 (This is not an endorsement of the independent validity of the Bible, this is just to demonstrate that Bible itself contradicts Trinitarian doctrine).
🌟 Interfaith Dialogue: Engaging in interfaith dialogue doesn't mean compromising our beliefs but understanding them in the context of others. Recognising these differences allows for more deeper understanding of the importance of Tawheed, and how to avoid falling into the same mistakes of the people who came before us.
🌹 Why This Matters: In a world teeming with diverse beliefs, understanding the nuances of Tawheed and its distinction from other monotheistic concepts fosters harmony. It allows us to articulate our faith clearly and appreciate the beliefs of others, all while holding firm to our convictions.
May Allah grant us the wisdom to engage in meaningful dialogue, representing the beauty of Tawheed and the universality of Islam. Ameen. 🤲
