The Qur'an in its entirety is Allah's uncreated speech. 🧵1/20

I was asked: (If what pharaoh spoke is his created speech, is it uncreated when quoted by Allah?)

The answer is: Such question arises from a misunderstanding of what it means for Allah’s speech to be uncreated. The uncreated nature of His speech does not pertain to the specific words spoken by another being but rather to the speech that He Himself initiated, uttered, and expressed. Allah’s speech is uncreated because it subsists in His essence, encompassing both meaning and expression.

1. You confirmed the accusation of your opponents that you discard hadith when your scholars' opinion conflict with it. You are using the same reasoning employed by hadith rejectors—namely that Quran is definitive, implying that the hadith is not—to justify its rejection.

Interestingly, the person you were criticizing did so because they may have assumed that your scholars did not understand the Quran or hadith. Yet, by this same reasoning, you implied that the majority of Muslims throughout history did not understand what you have derived

Here is an example of one attempting to sound relevant and aware of the intricacies of Islamic creeds and groups while they are ignorant of basic fundamentals and completely enveloped in preconceived notions that barely scratch the surface of research and understanding.

1/23🧵 Perhaps the most glaring error, among the many nonsensical statements in this person's thread, is what causes second-hand embarrassment: the claim that Ash‘aris are the rationalists, while Ahl al-Hadith are positioned on the other end of the spectrum,

Are the letters of the Qur'an created or uncreated?

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said:

If it is said that the letters of the alphabet are either eternal or created, the response is that letters are of two kinds: the letters found in the speech of created beings are created,

1/23🧵 whereas the letters of the Quran are uncreated.

If it is then asked, "How can the same letter be both created and uncreated?"

The reply is that it is not the same letter in particular (bi al-‘ayn), even if it is the same in type (bi al-naw‘),

To understand the topic of Kalam Allah we should present the differences between sects regarding two issues:

1. Their views on the concept of "Speech" and who is considered "Speaker."

2. Their views on "the speech of Allah."

1/35🧵 The intention here is to define these terms in their absolute sense, noting that each sect's stance on the speech of Allah is based on their interpretation of these terms.

A) There are four main views regarding the concept of "speech":

The reality of the Ashʿari doctrine ultimately leads to a denial of the existence of God. 🧵

There is a question that none of them wish to answer, it raises numerous issues and poses significant challenges for them. They claim that God’s existence is not merely conceptual

1/13 but external and objective. I say if that is the case, I must then be able to ask about this "external entity" with "Where" ! They respond that it is impermissible to ask "where" regarding God, as such a question implies direction, which entails place and consequently extension

The Ashʿarī Doctrine on Miracles 🧵

Ashʿarīs' perspective on the essence of miracles was shaped by their denial of causal relationships, natural laws, and inherent properties within things. Consequently, most Ashʿarīs confined the proofs of prophethood solely to miracles.

1/32 They defined a miracle as an extraordinary event, accompanied by a challenge, manifested at the hands of a prophet, and immune to opposition. They did not differentiate between miracles and magic except by the prophet’s challenge to disbelievers to replicate his miracle.

[Halloween: Its Origins and the Ruling on Celebrating It.] 🧵

It is truly unfortunate to observe the spread of celebrations for what is termed "Halloween" or the "Festival of Fear and Horror" within Muslim countries, as people imitate disbelievers and Westerners,

1/50 often with no awareness of the origins of this pagan festival. This festival, shunned even by blasphemous conservative Christians who regard it as a demonic pagan holiday, has nonetheless gained traction among many young Muslims seeking to mimic Westerners and non-believers,

Al-Razi struggled until his death with the philosophical parasite that haunted the Peripatetics and the later Kalamists, which is as follows: "if God possesses attributes, He would be composed of essence and attributes; what is composed is contingent upon its parts,

1/5 which are other than itself, and the Necessary Existent cannot be contingent upon something other than itself."

This is sheer nonsense and hallucination, exposing the weakness of the foundational principles upon which they built their Apophatic theology.

Funny story from Greek mythology about why the woman [Pandora] was sent to men.

In the beginning, humanity consisted only of men. Prometheus, a Titan who sympathized with humanity, played a central role in this early creation. During a sacrificial feast with an ox at Mecone

Prometheus attempted to deceive Zeus by offering him two portions: a pile of bones hidden under a rich layer of fat to appear appetizing, and a pile of quality meat concealed within the animal’s stomach. Zeus, deceived by the appearance, chose the pile of bones,

How are God's actions temporal [Haadith] and uncreated?

The critique posited by some theological objectors against Ahl al-Hadith asserts that any attribute, action, or phenomenon occurring after an initial absence must, by necessity, be created.

1/28🧵 This line of reasoning has been used to contend that divine speech or any manifestation within God Almighty that appears temporally—such as the recitation of the Quran—implies a created aspect within the Divine Essence. To address this critique rigorously,

What does the "Hand" mean?

From the misconceptions held by the opponent is the notion that the "understood meaning" intended by Ibn Taymiyyah and Ahl al-hadith pertains to the lexical meaning—the meaning listed in language dictionaries. This is a misunderstanding.

1/19🧵 What is intended is actually the essential meaning, that is, the universal conceptual meaning of the attribute, which is a general meaning with varying particulars according to the difference in the entities that possess it.

Ash'aris believe Allah could've willed to command everything he prohibited "INCLUDING KUFR". Think of "ANY EVIL" prohibited and reverse it, it'd be equally good in the sight of Allah. You try to convince me this is Islam! as for you "Ash'ari laymen", read:

Al-Jurjani said:

Al-Jurjani said: "According to us, what is considered reprehensible is that which is prohibited by the Sharia, whether it be a prohibition of impermissibility (tahreem) or of discouragement (tanzeeh), and the good is its opposite—that is, what is not prohibited by the Sharia,

This is a misrepresentation of Shaykh al-Islam especially given the agenda @Haqiqatjou is preaching. Here is why:

Ibn Taymiyyah did not intensify his criticism against any group as much as he did against the Rafidah, describing them with poor intellect and knowledge

1/50🧵

https://twitter.com/Haqiqatjou/status/1846242972217598063

and, being riddled with contradictions and confusion, harboring hostility towards Muslims, and collaborating with the enemies against them. He characterized them as one of the most deceitful sects, farthest from religion, and explicitly mentioned that their beliefs were among

Daniel @Haqiqatjou is contradicting himself so blatantly that it exposes his complete lack of even basic understanding of 'Aqeedah. He criticizes his opponents for rejecting his fierce alliance with Rafidis and his inclusion of heretical sects into Ahl-Sunnah, for the

1/15🧵 assumption that they hold a definition of creed which requires years of education and thousands of books reserved for the elite scholars—by which they test people.

In reality, it is the exact opposite. What his opponents are fighting against is precisely what he is guilty of—

You've really fallen hard, Daniel @Haqiqatjou, to the point where Aqeedah has become as trivial to you as doing Tayammum. He claims we must believe in the six pillars, but what do they even mean to him? Do these heretics believe in them the way the Messengerﷺ taught?

1/17🧵

https://twitter.com/Haqiqatjou/status/1844505231524233473

-The first pillar is belief in Allah. But who is this deity? What's His description? How do we truly know Him? Is it the God of Muhammadﷺ, or is it the Prime Mover of Aristotle? Because the Jahmis believe in a God that neither loves His creation nor is merciful,

What’s embarrassing is that Ash'aris factually believe in two types of Qurans.

You agree with us on the fact that everything revealed by God and named the Quran is part of the Quran—that no single chapter or verse is the entirety of the Quran,

1/6

https://twitter.com/LeayAlKufi/status/1843218240031564124

but rather that each particular falls under the one genus of the Quran. Yet, you claim this Quran is created, while we say it is not.

Beyond this you claim there exists another type of Quran, intrinsically different in genus from the first one, and that this is what's uncreated:

This heretic attempts to absolve his Imam from the egregious argument that the world, being full of evil, must have been created by an external entity; God. Al-Maturidi posited if the world had created itself, it would have done so in the best way, rendering it perfect.

1/17

https://twitter.com/fawiddchannel/status/1841305781938880891

Since it is rife with evil, the conclusion is that it must have been created by something else. This argument is, at best, disrespectful, as it entails a number of necessary implications that are readily apparent and require no repetition here.

Someone tried to answer, though I’m unsure why he switched to a different language. But I say:

1. You blatantly avoided answering the question as posed. Mentioning other interpretations does not invalidate my question. I specifically asked about those who claim that

1/23

https://twitter.com/LeayAlKufi/status/1828858442788077719

the elevation mentioned in that verse refers to the elevation of status, not the essence of God in the literal sense [Uluw dhat]. Your response didn’t even touch that.

2. You argued that God being dominant over the throne implies dominion over everything smaller in size.

A question to Christians: The following quote presents Thomas Aquinas's argument for why girls as young as 9, 10, or 11 years old can get married, He said:

"Since marriage is effected by way of a contract, it comes under the ordinance of positive law like other contracts.

1/8 Consequently according to law (cap. Tua, De sponsal. impub.) it is determined that marriage may not be contracted before the age of discretion when each party is capable of sufficient deliberation about marriage, and of mutual fulfilment of the marriage debt, and that marriages

This image is from an old notebook during my first philosophy class at the age of 14 [13 years ago]. The teacher asked us to articulate our perceptions of philosophy, and this was my response. I was right!

Our Perceptions of Philosophy:

1/4 -Delving deeply into subjects related to everyday life.
-Philosophy has no connection to reality.
-A world of complex characters and ideas.
-Scrutinizing even the simplest matters.
-Thinking about thinking.
-Asking questions without arriving at definitive answers.
