Intellectual dark-webbers lament that atheism has caused the rug to be pulled from under Western civilisation, recognising that without the anchor of God, humans move towards nihilism or totalitarianism..a civilisation that says life has no meaning cannot thrive...
Enlightenment philosophers may have declared God dead...but God is omnipotent. What they killed off was themselves. Dark-webbers fear that in the void created by atheism & materialism,#Islam is thriving. Even if immigration ended today - they have done the population growth math.
Well yes. Islam was designed to thrive. The laws and values underpinning Islam mean it is bound to thrive and communities are bound to flourish through it...ever heard of the 5 The five higher objectives & goals of Islam?
Islam was designed to preserve & promote the following 5 broad things for human beings:
1. Preservation of Religion (e.g. preventing the mockery of religion or insult of prophets.)
2. Preservation of life (e.g. punishments for crimes that are a real deterrent, & thus preventive)
3. Preservation of lineage (e.g. traditional family values, prevention of promiscuity)
4. Protection of property & wealth (e.g. no usurious (interest) dealings which destroy the wealth of the less well off)
5. Preservation of intellect (e.g. no intoxicants)
When a civilisation does the opposite of these 5:
1. Debase religion (through mocking God, His Prophets & preventing religiosity, promoting the worship of desires)...
2. Debase the value of life: (by allowing murder to take place with impunity, allowing the killing of fully formed babies etc.)
3. Debase lineage (e.g. through a promiscuous/gender confused society where people don't know who their parents are.)...
4. Debase true wealthiness for society (e.g. allowing the rich to exploit the poor through usury/interest/debt)
5. Debase the intellect (through the proliferation of intoxicants and addictions)....how can such a civilisation thrive? It is committing suicide.
But they needn't fear. Islam is a beautiful complete way of life. More Islam/Muslims in the West will make it more beautiful, give people meaning, give people a moral framework that will help any people thrive. So fear not dark-webbers...God promises He will perfect His light...
they speak of Judeo-Christian values - not realising that Islam is the completion of the original religion that was sent with Abraham, Moses & Jesus. Everything human beings need from the Bible - stories, morals - are in the Qur'an & more, because it came from the same God.
Read the Qur'an, contextually & with the help of real scholars I say to them. Instead of imagining what is in it...Adam & Eve is in it, Cain & Abel, Joseph, Jacob, the One Omnipotent God who has no equal and begets not...
the purpose of life, laws, lofty morals, beauty - that's what you'll find in it if you read it with an open & truthful heart.
Who could have designed such a complete system of life- spiritual, economic, moral, political, universal...who but God?

Re: Seeking Islamic knowledge:
To lay the proper foundations of faith & 'Ilm - I would NOT recommend brothers & sisters seek to do that through an Islamic Studies degree at a Western university. You should study in a confessional institute & with scholars with Iman!
The theological, historical, epistemological foundations need to be taught by scholars who are Believers....the heirs of the Prophets. It is not merely an academic exercise, it's about making your heart firm upon Iman.
Once you reach a certain level of Islamic knowledge and you see the benefit in studying Islamic studies at a Western institution - then your foundations should be firm and there should be benefit in you doing so. And you should do so with caution.

I’ve detected a troubling fear that many male scholars in the West have when it comes to issues regarding which they should be guiding women and sending a strong message out.

They are actually so afraid of the backlash they’ll get for speaking the truth, that they avoid it...
They are quick to speak their mind when something that is going to make them look good on women’s issues comes up. But when it comes to unpopular truths that need to be said, guidance that needs to be given publicly so that a generation of sisters are not led astray - silence
Being a scholar means that being true to Allah, to the Qur’an and Sunnah and the purpose and greater intent of the shari’ah should be your main concern. Conveying it with wisdom, without twisting it, without worrying too much about the PR value...that is leadership & scholarship

“UK Kills 15,000 Babies in Late-Term Abortions in the Last Five Years.”

Late term up to 24 weeks! As in if that baby was wanted, we’d put it in an incubator and it would live.

lifenews.com/2019/01/24/uk-…
This is a 24 week old premature baby. In the U.K. it is legal for a baby like this to be aborted for a whole variety of reasons.

Abortion as in: its skull crushed and it be vacuumed out of the womb. 😢
“Among the residents of England and Wales, unmarried women accounted for approximately 84% of all 2017 abortions.”

1/ ＊＊Warning＊＊

The Hamstead 2!

In 2014 information began to surface about what can only be described as horrying, sick and deprave. A mother by the name of Ella Draper after years of worrying about her 2 children's behaviour and secret sexual touching of one another found
2/ out the horrifying reality as to why her children were acting so strange and abusive towards others and themselves.

The brave child whistleblowers 9 year old Alisa and her 8 year old younger brother Gabriel began to talk about the sickening abuse they succumbed to at the
3/ hands of their father Ricky Dearman and a satanic cult network of abuse at their Hamspstead Primary School. This story is beyond comprehension and implicates many facets of society.

On a trip to Morocco with her partner Abraham Christie, Gabriel and Alisa were caught

Coercive Control
@CCCBuryStEd
To understand coercive control.
To REALLY understand it, you need to understand how manipulators work. The things they know they can do, to bring us to our knees.

#coercivecontrol
It goes without saying that the first thing they will control is HOW they present. The public at large will only ever see the
*nice* side.
#coercivecontrol
They take an interest in you.
An intense interest.
They especially want to know about anything in your past that has caused you pain, upset or trauma.
They do this by prematurely disclosing some traumatic episode in their life to fool you into trusting them.

Lament: A spiritual tool to help us feel angry, be disappointed, and find radical hope.
There are 150 Psalms recorded in the Bible. Out of those, just under 50% of them have lament themes in them. That’s a lot of complaining and anger. What is a lament theme?
A lament theme is things like this “God, life is not fair and I am pissed off.” or “My God, why have your forsaken me?” or “I am filled with rage.”

To understand transphobia, we need to understand how it's not about difference but about a specific kind of difference that is intimately intertwined with other forms of oppression and population management.
This analysis ties back to my work in the University of Toronto Law Journal (doi.org/10.3138/utlj.2…). The full story is much more complex, but the simplified version is this: transphobia arises out of a systemic desire to rigidly police gender norms.
This desire to rigidly police gender norms is itself grounded in a desire to control women's reproductive capabilities (all people assigned female at birth are categorised as women under this perspective) as a means of population management.

#Burkas are like wearing a crusifix&should b defended,said Scots leader liberal+lesbian,irresponsibly ignoring that a crusifix is a symbol of #Christianity,which holds t western civilisation,while #nijab is a symbol of oppression enforced recently in #Islam by the #Saudi #Wahhabi
#Liberals accusing #Iranian govt of"oppressing women" who must wear a lose scarf,but do not protest against the #Saudi #Wahhabi reactionary dogma,while it's creeping as political #Islam to combat western #civilisation at the end.If it's sounds like fiction,think Saudi investments
Serious problem wth "western civilisation"mental health.Giving up easily to full veil wearing wthout asking what the cover symbolises,wthout questioning why it came from archaic #Saudi #Wahhabi #Sharia #Regime by force,is👉rejection of progressive western values.Period
