What is happening today in Palestine is proof of the truth of Islam and the Prophethood of the prophet Muแธฅammad ๏ทบ. Let me explain how! Thread (๐งต)
The prophet ๏ทบ authentically said the following:
The meaning of this แธฅadฤซth is that circumstances will arise that prevent Muslims from freely accessing Bayt al-Maqdis, to the point that a person would wish to have even a small house or the smallest spot of land (even the length of a horse's tether) from which they could
ibn Taymiyya on the Power of Women Over Men in Love | thread ๐งต
He said:
"When a man's heart becomes attached to a woman, even if she is permissible for him, his heart remains captive to her. She holds sway over him and acts as she pleases, while outwardly he appears to be her master because he is her husband.
In reality, however, he is her captive and slaveโespecially if she becomes aware of his dependence on her, his infatuation with her, and his inability to replace her with anyone else.

This thread will outline the argument step by step, explain its implications, and demonstrate how it establishes the existence of a single, self-sufficient, uncaused, and unique Creator.
It will be very simplified so it can be understood by even those who are unfamiliar with it.
One of the things that makes me feel very disgusted and it's something which makes zero sense is how some Muslims will make fun or laugh at something which is part of islam. Like what in the Cognitive dissonance does that even mean?
So you're a Muslim but have a problem with it?
Wallahi it never made sense to me and whenever i ask these people how they maintain these two claims together: 1- being Muslim 2- having such a problem with something clearly from islam
And I don't think I've ever got an answer
From my experience i saw this more in Arabic twitter than in English twitter. What sparked this tweet and thought is how i just saw tens of sisters (so many of them) objecting to the concept of Wali (guardian) being a condition for marriage.
