Allah states: “And never let your hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8) Muhammad (Peace be upon them) stated: “Always speak Truth, even if it’s bitter (even if it rubs People the Wrong-Way).” (ibn-Hibbān&al-Bayhaqī) al-Muqaddimah/Prelude: This-Article is a Response, to Several-Discussions which the Siblings of the Pen (Gareth Bryant/Atharī Corleone… Continue reading

The Siblings of the Pen: Gareth “Atharī Corleone” & Tālib “Ash`arī Tommasino” Nathaniel once again took our Fraternity to Another-Discussion, about how al-Khilāfah/Islāmic-Governance was influenced/dominated via al-`Aqā’id/Theological-Schools.

Atharī Corleone’s Most Wanted: The “Allah doesn’t exist in a Place.” and the “Allah doesn’t exist in the 6 Directions” Arguments which Ash`arīs use to accuse Fellow-Muslims of committing ash-Shirk (Association)
Allah states: “And never let your Hatred, against any People, prevent you from behaving justly.” (Noble-Qur’ān: Chpt.5, V.8) al-Muqaddimah/Prelude This-Risālah/Articles Several-Debates I’ve had with Ash`arīs, including my Sibling of the Pen: the Ash`arī-Academic Tālib Nathaniel.

The Ugly-History of the “`Aqīdah/Creed-Wars”
Let’s start with what “`Aqīdah” actually is al-`Aqīdah Linguistic: Fortitude, Foundation, Structure etc. Islāmic: Religio-Academic Euphemism for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān (Islāmic-Belief/Faith). What’re the 6-Arkān of al-Īmān?!!! Good-Question… …Answer: 1. Belief in Allah 2. Belief in al-Malā’ikah (Angels) 3. Belief in al-Kutub (Revelatory-Scriptures/Books) 4. Belief in ar-Rusul (Prophetic-Individuals/Messengers) 5. Belief in Yawm-il-Ākhir (the Last-Day/Judgment-Day) 6.… Continue reading

Romance of the 3-`Aqīdahs
Unlike the Authentic-Definition of the Term “`Aqīdah/Structure” (a Religio-Euphemism for the 6-Arkān/Pillars of al-Īmān [Islāmic-Faith/Beilef]): I’ll be utilizing “`Aqīdah” as a Minhāj (Religio-Identity/Ideology). I’ve chosen to pattern This Article after the Semi-Historical/Fantasy Spin-Off of the “Romance of the 3-Kingdoms”…arguably the Most-Tumultuous Dynastic-Period via Chinese-History. For anyone abreast of Chinese-Imperial/Dynastic History, Ancient-Chinese Literature, Martial-Arts Cinema, Video-Games,… Continue reading

Revive Respectful-Rivalry
The Following-Citation/Quote below-It’s literally is reminiscent of the Religio-Academic Rivalry between myself & one of Gareth Bryant’s Favorite-Colleagues: Tālib Nathaniel.

Fraternity in spite of Rivalry
