SarimBlog aims to provide a fresh narrative on classical and contemporary issues, showing how Islam challenges and compels and is both obvious and remarkable.
Islam best manifests the monotheistic simplicity. Sitting within man’s disposition, it is the logical conclusion of any sound mind, so rationally accessible that a child can understand and follow it, while simultaneously so profound that its meanings perpetually hold the greatest scholars and philosophers in wonderment and awe.
If your run-of-the-mill politicians have run their nations and economies into the ground—breeding a misery the so-called free world would rather drown in drink—then by all means, tip that bottle until the cows come home. But do not presume that Syrians, finally freed from their own grim dungeons, would trade real life for your escapism.
Gaza stands as the clearest manifestation in modern times of the stark contrast between truth and falsehood, and the failure of these international bodies to recognize this reality underscores the complete moral collapse of these pseudo-moralists who dare to draw arbitrary lines in the sand.
Some have gone as far as to suggest that the Gazans, while at the helm of extermination, and despite fighting against modern Fascism and the culmination of human malevolence, Kufr and injustice, are ‘not following the Sunnah’, that their resistance is not Islamically sanctioned, or worse, that the genocide results from their resistance and the like.
Despite its revelation in Arabia, the unwavering support, resilience, and equilibrium essential for bearing the weight and strain of Islām are found in Palestine. As such, Palestine stands as Islam's steadfast pedestal, its resilient pillar, and its load-bearing capital.
Al-Shifa reminds that Gaza is not fighting a genocidal enemy in spite of its survival, but for its survival. Al-Shifa reminds that dropping one's arms in the face of genocide does not expedite its end but fashions grounds for the more leisurely genocide Israel is looking for... Israel would rather carry out the genocide without the nuisance of improvised devices and Kalashnikovs.
When man accepts his limitations, woman accepts her limitations. But when man gives himself delusions of grandeur, women follow suit. When man submits to God, woman accept the limited designated authority of her humble father and humble husband over her, when man rebels against God, woman rebels against her husband.
Idolatry on the other hand is the enslavement, entrapment and imprisonment of our soul to this temporary and transient world which suffocates and asphyxiates our immortal human soul.
Idolatry extends beyond the worship of statues or rulers. It encompasses the adoration of wealth, status, and popularity - false deities devoid of inherent power to bestow happiness or inflict harm.
Ibn Taymiyyah supplicated: "If (Ghazan) has risen for show and reputation, seeking worldly gains, and for his word to be the highest while humiliating Islām and its people, then seize him, shake him, destroy him and cut off his progeny." While Ghazan stood by and said Amin.
