Gareth Bryant’s Rankings of al-Khulafā’/Islāmic-Rulers
This-Risālah/Article is an Intro. to what I’ll be releasing as a Series of the 4-Periods of Muslim/Islāmic-History (relative to the Revelation of The Qur’ān), surrounding the Khilāfah/Islāmic-State of the Muslims from 23-1341, AH/632-1922, CE. al-Muqaddimah/Prelude I initially began this Khulafā’-Ranking Project, resulting from me watching “Roman-Emperor Rankings” via YouTube.

at-Tafwīdh/Neutrality vs. at-Ta’wīl/Interpretation concerning the Sifāt/Qualities-Of-Allah
Author’s-Note: This-Article is an Unofficial-Sharh/Commentary of a Previous-Article I’ve written about the Fitrah/Nature-Of-Allah. al-Athariyyah vs. al-Ash`ariyyah There have been, classically & contemporaneously, (various Persons, Groups, Schools, etc.)-Those whom have taken a Theological-Position that the Features which Allah describes Himself with are only “Allegorical”, and not Literal/Real…these’re predominantly the Theological-Adherents of al-Ash`ariyyah/Ash`arism.

The Plight of Muslim-Comedy
Anywhere/everywhere one turns, there’s Muslim-Entertainers making their Presence known to give Others Laughs. At the Same-Time though: the Muslim-Entertainer is very much challenged via Religio-Orthodoxy, Religio-Conservatism, Judgmentalism, etc. I’m specifically referring to the Muslim-Comedy Scene. What’s a “Muslim-Comedian” anyway?!!! It’s a Muslim whom does Comedy…#Duh Yeah…that was pretty straightforward obviously. Honestly, it doesn’t even matter… Continue reading

My thoughts on Yusef Ramelize & his amazing project: “Homeless For One Week”
Author’s note: It’s very ironic how in a place like New York City, by far, the wealthiest city on the planet, in Human history, can actually have a significant homeless population. What’s also just as sadly amazing is how so many of us do nothing about it. I mean, sure there’s various organizations & food-banks.… Continue reading
