Because I don’t? I don’t understand what you’re getting at here it’s like you’re saying you have to wholeheartedly believe every single thing a person has ever endorsed if you want to praise a small section of their belief

if you literally read what I said I stated that I don’t agree with Ibn Taymiyyah on many things I just think he has the correct stance on the issue of Alawites

first off, “SWT” is the honorific “Subhanahu wa ta’ala”, meaning “The Most Glorified, The Most High” - it is strictly reserved for Allah. You are getting “SWT” mistaken for “SAW”, which his the honorific used for Muhammad - meaning “Sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam”, often anglicised as PBUH or Peace Be Upon Him.

The Alawite believe in a divine duology whereby God reveals himself in two different aspects, the Ma’na, or physical manifestation of God, and the Ba’b, the veiler of the true essence of God (these are the ones considered to be the Prophet of their time by not only Muslims but other Abrahamics). For example, Alawites consider Jesus AS to be the veiler of God, the “miracle worker” who distracts people from the divine person ABOVE him - which in this case is considered to be Peter. In turn, Muhammad SAW is considered to be the veiler of Ali’ RA, the one who Alawites think was the true manifestation of God, just hidden by Muhammad SAW. Obviously such a belief is blatantly against the core Islamic doctrine of Tawheed, or the oneness of God - he does not reveal himself in multiple parts, nor manifests himself on Earth. This is not even mentioning the Alawite Shahada which states “There is no God but Ali’”.

Scholar Ibn Taymiyyah (I dont agree which all his teachings however he was correct on this point) summised the point in a Fatwa upon being asked what the Islamic stance on Alawites should be : “For they present themselves in front of ignorant Muslims as supporters and advocates of Ahl ul Bayt, while in reality they do not believe in Allah, or the Messenger, or the Book, or [Allah’s] orders, or prohibitions, or reward, or punishment, or Paradise, or Fire, or in one of the Messengers before Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, or in a religion from among previous religions. Rather, they take the words of Allah and His Messenger, known to the scholars of Muslims, and they interpret them based on their fabrications, claiming that their interpretations are “hidden knowledge (“ilm ul-baatin”), such as what the questioner mentioned and more. They have no limit in their unbelief with regards to Allah’s Names, His verses, and their distortion of the Speech of Allah, the Most High, and His Messenger from their proper places [usages]. Their aim is repudiation of Islamic Beliefs and Laws in every possible way, trying to make it appear that these matters have realities that they know, like those mentioned by the questioner and others, such as that “five prayers” means knowledge of their secrets, “obligatory fast” hiding of their secrets, and “pilgrimage to Bayt al-Atiq” visit to their shaikhs, and that the two hands of Abu Lahab represent Abu Bakr and Umar, and that “the great news and the manifest imam” (an naba’ul adheem wal imaamul mubin) is `Ali ibn Abi Talib.”

almost every Islamic scholar whether Sunni or Shia agrees that in a doctrinal sense Alawism is Kufr given the fact they hold Ali RA higher than Muhammad SAW, it’s not like a Sunni//Shia split it’s the fundamentals of our religion (believing that Muhammad is Allah SWT’s final messenger), same reason why Ahmadiyyah aren’t considered Muslim by wider Muslim scholarship

In New Zealand right now (University), no way in hell I’m raising my children in the West. Looking at the Middle East or China to bring up my family (although China is very hard to get residency)

idk if you guys use tiktok that much but it’s literally a neo-nazi breeding ground rn. The “gnome hunting” trend, “#AryanClassic”, Odinism and black sun aesthetic, hyperborea, it’s like scientific racism level bad

may Allah SWT grant him the highest level of Jannah we need militant Muslim leaders who will stand up the to the West again not Kaffir who twerk for Israel and the yankee petro-dollar

I literally agree w you, as a Muslim I think every woman should wear hijab but they shouldn’t do it out of fear of the law they should do it because Allah SWT tells them to : Iran is superimposing their own legal guidance over personal relationship to the Qu’ran.

that being said I still support them lol I’m not so petty to let little things like that cloud my judgement on whether or not Iran is a net positive on world politics

“forcibly veiling women” is a very reductive way to look at the very nuanced complicated issue of hijab but sure

edit: you can’t be ambivalent on a country, a country is either in the anti-imperialist camp or it isn’t, it either supports a multipolar world or it doesn’t. To write Iran off because it’s not Socialist is to deny the material impacts of it’s existence have on the creation of multipolarity and the downfall of the West

Yes lol. regime change in Iran dooms Palestine and cuts off all funding from one of the only 2 useful anti Zionist groups (Hezbollah). It’s not a worker’s state but Khomeinism is a hell of a lot better than whatever the fuck the West has in store for them with this shitty colour revolution they’re pushing

I’m anti-imperialist and anti-West before anything else. I support Russia, Iran and Belarus all on that same principle - anything that damages NATO improves the world

having kids and a good family is the goal of my life

edit: there is no fucking way i’m raising them in the parasitical West tho i’ll probably migrate to the Middle East to get away from that shitty culture

i think China are perfect on this front. They condemn both the ultra-left who uphold Mao but denigrate Deng and the ultra right who denounce Mao and only uphold Deng. China recognises that the cultural revolution was an abhorrent mistake whilst also praising Mao as the hero of the nation who delivered them from chaos and allowed Deng to bring them into modernity. Mao was a great leader, but not infallible : the same goes for all socialist heroes.

It’s unironically easier for me to see the world thriugh a fascist lens than to see it through a liberal lens that’s how incredibly illogical liberalism is

AITA for killing 2 million innocent Iraqi’s in retaliation for 3000 deaths of my own

America cannot exist as a Socialist country, it must be balkanised and rebuilt from the ground up - it’s institutions and it’s culture are too inherently evil to leave any remnants of the previous nation

as a Muslim I often feel very alienated by militant atheists in Socialist circles it’s so strange

my school gave free instrument lessons for every student so I picked Clarinet, played it for 4-5 years until I couldn’t fit it into my timetable anymore. Kind of wish I didn’t drop it tbh it’s a pretty cool fun fact to share about yourself

can play proficiently on Sax by proxy of it’s similarity to Clarinet too which is nice
