Love Actually: Effects Of a Post Romantic Worldview on Ourselves and Relationships | Mohammad Isaaq

[@y.a.7328]

- vibes over logical conclusions, driven by feelings - creates a mentality that is obsessed with extremes "i feel therefore i am" - "i post, therefore i am" - feeling satiated through photos ... translates over to marriage - feelings prioritized, adherence to principles = responsibility reduced. nobody can handle responsibility for problems. = ultrasensitive people that can not take on the responsibilities of religion, especially without vibes. - obsession with authenticity = can't be authentic, then that which does not allow me to be is bad = leads to feeling that the framework is oppressive - going into a marriage expecting that if anything is said about one's flaws = they've done something bad to you = leaving the marriage - being the best to someone does not have to do with feelings = focus on principles that take care of the feelings - living for others feelings, changes with the heart and is not something to base a relationship on - do things for the person for Allah's sake = know the huqooq and taqwa - rahma will protect the fall of feelings after the initial vibes

My rejection of the movie industry was one of the things that led to my conversion. The media have inflicted a lot of damage. It's much worse than you think. 😮 Disconnect from the movie theatres, television 📺.. It will take a while. You might get withdrawal symptoms. And after a long while, the truth will sink in, Godwilling.

The thing about being your authentic self and being able to express yourself though I don’t understand what’s the problem with that. A lot of the non-Muslim world are tolerant of Muslims in headscarf or visibly Muslim ; ‘allowing them to be their authentic selves’ …. So I don’t understand what’s wrong with that.

[@emmaleeaman1110]

Don’t care for how the speaker seems to be mocking other people in this talk. Mocking others is not from good Adab, and Adab / Akhlaq / good manners are critical to our lived practice of Islam. “Adab dulu, baru ilmu” which means “Manners first, then knowledge.” This is an Islamic adage often repeated among Muslims in Malaysia & Indonesia. No matter how intelligent you are, if you cannot respect and show good manners to others, all that [knowledge, intelligence] is just in vain. May Allah guide us all, and help us to consistently behave with the best Islamic etiquette.

But does it mean we should not act on feeling. If i don't feel ok at school or my job make me feel sad, should i listen to those feeling and continue going to these places that are making me feel not ok, because feeling should not always be the answer ? Maybe i did not understand it clearly.

religion inversed - is he talking about satanism/black magic where they use religion reversed? Is he talking about the 'hell fire club' when he mentioned aristocrats? When you go back to some of the sources of where all this madness that you see... is he talking about the birth place of LGBT. Religious figures being involved with lewed lowly activities - is he talking about priests? start of lgbt weren't priests. Or is he talking about prophets in bible and torah being involved in unspeakable things? Really didn't follow this part.

[@rafsaansanvir7211]

Think it means using religion to justify your own selfish/ immoral deeds. For example, the prophet had multiple wives for religious regions and also because it was practical for survival of women during his time. Now if a person today had a high desire for sex and wants multiple wives for that reason, they can justify it by saying that he it doing it for the sake of religion. “Religion inversed”

[@Rameenzaheer]

From my perspective, I took that as the times when the Middle Eastern/Central Asian culture was very much influenced by Islam and the era of those now associated as religious figures by modern Muslims (like some later scholars or Islamic rulers). The Abbasid caliph Harun al-Rashid is a legendary figure associated with the golden age of Islamic culture and science. While he is celebrated for his patronage of the arts and sciences, some accounts from later historians suggest he indulged in a luxurious lifestyle and excess. However, these claims are often based on literary exaggerations from stories like "One Thousand and One Nights" rather than solid historical evidence. Many Sufi figures are also misunderstood for controversial behaviour, like a famous mystic in Islamic history, Mansur Al-Hallaj, is known for his controversial statement "Ana al-Haqq" ("I am the Truth"), which led to accusations of heresy. Some critics believed that his behaviour and statements strayed from orthodox Islam, but others interpreted his words as expressions of deep mystical unity with God. He is generally not accused of immorality like zina but rather of theological or spiritual deviance from mainstream Islam. The Mughal or Ottoman times are associated all with Islamisation, but if you look deeper, there was so much wrong going on and a lot of Zina being justified by the rich rulers and elites of the society, such as adultery, hundreds of courtesans (often enslaved) on top of having multiple wives, sodomy etc. Also, a lot of music and certain types of art, as well as other forms of un-Islamic entertainment, were normalised under Islamic rule. And outside Zina, that can translate to white magic, too, I guess. Though arguably, all sorts of magic have mostly been taboo in society and not practised openly, so maybe the reference was more in context to zina and other sins involving selfishness / materialistic desires

[@Rameenzaheer]

Extract: "In the context of the Mughal, Ottoman, and Sufi traditions, there are certain figures whose actions and lifestyles have been critiqued for not fully aligning with Islamic moral expectations, especially regarding indulgence in sins like Zina (illicit sexual relations) or moral shortcomings. However, these critiques must be understood within the historical and political circumstances of their time. Here’s a deeper look at some figures from these traditions: 1. Mughal Empire: Emperor Akbar (r. 1556-1605 CE): Akbar is one of the most well-known Mughal emperors and is celebrated for his military conquests, administrative reforms, and efforts to foster religious tolerance through his policy of Sulh-i-Kul (peace for all). However, Akbar's religious experiments, especially his creation of the Din-i-Ilahi (Divine Faith), which combined elements of different religions, were viewed by many orthodox Muslims as un-Islamic or even heretical. Though not directly accused of zina, Akbar's court was known for its opulence and tolerance of behaviors that more conservative Islamic scholars considered sinful, including the presence of concubines and excessive drinking. Jahangir (r. 1605-1627 CE): Akbar’s son Jahangir was another Mughal emperor known for indulging in worldly pleasures. He is noted for his love of wine and opium, and the Mughal court under his rule was marked by extravagance. Jahangir maintained a harem of wives and concubines, which, while common for rulers of the time, could be seen as morally dubious through the lens of Islamic principles of modesty and restraint. Muhammad Shah Rangila (r. 1719-1748 CE): Later in the Mughal period, Muhammad Shah is often criticized for indulging in hedonistic pursuits while the empire was in decline. His nickname Rangila (meaning "colorful" or "playboy") points to his reputation for focusing more on pleasure and luxury than governance. He was known for his extravagant lifestyle, including maintaining a large harem, and is often blamed for contributing to the empire’s internal decay. 2. Ottoman Empire: Suleiman the Magnificent (r. 1520-1566 CE): While Suleiman the Magnificent is often lauded for his military prowess, legal reforms, and contributions to the Ottoman Empire’s golden age, his relationship with Roxelana (Hürrem Sultan), a concubine-turned-wife, caused controversy. Their relationship was viewed with suspicion by some members of the court and religious scholars due to the unprecedented level of influence she wielded. Although their union was formalized in marriage, their earlier relationship could be seen as a violation of Islamic marital principles. Sultan Murad IV (r. 1623-1640 CE): Murad IV is often remembered for his brutality and his crackdown on moral vices like alcohol and tobacco use in public. However, despite enforcing strict public morality, he was known to indulge in these same vices in private, especially alcohol. This contradiction led some to criticize his personal conduct as hypocritical and morally questionable. Ibrahim the Mad (r. 1640-1648 CE): One of the most infamous Ottoman sultans, Ibrahim is known for his erratic behavior and excesses. He had a reputation for extreme indulgence in sensual pleasures, keeping a large harem, and spending extravagantly on personal luxuries. His mental instability and self-indulgence were seen as signs of moral and political decay within the empire, leading to his eventual deposition. 3. Sufi Context: Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273 CE): Rumi is one of the most revered Sufi mystics in Islamic history, and his works have inspired spiritual seekers worldwide. While Rumi himself is not accused of immoral behavior, Sufi practices and ideas-especially those related to the concept of divine love-sometimes led to misunderstandings and accusations of deviance from Islamic orthodoxy. Certain Sufi orders were criticized for practices that were seen as overly indulgent or too esoteric for mainstream Islam. However, these critiques often came from those who misunderstood the metaphorical nature of Sufi teachings on divine love and unity with God. Ibn al-Arabi (1165-1240 CE): A prominent Sufi philosopher and mystic, Ibn al-Arabi's works often caused controversy due to his concept of wahdat al-wujud (the unity of being), which posited that all existence is a manifestation of God. Some scholars accused him of blurring the lines between creator and creation, leading to accusations of heresy. While not associated with zina or immoral behavior, his mystical ideas challenged the more literal interpretations of Islamic law and theology, leading to opposition from orthodox scholars. Al-Hallaj (858-922 CE): As mentioned earlier, Al-Hallaj was a mystic who famously declared, “Ana al-Haqq” ("I am the Truth"). This statement, interpreted by many as a claim to divinity, led to his execution for blasphemy. While Al-Hallaj was deeply spiritual, his mystical utterances and unconventional behavior were seen by many religious authorities as straying from Islamic teachings, making him a controversial figure. He was not accused of zina or selfish deeds but was criticized for theological deviance. Certain Sufi Orders: While many Sufi orders adhered strictly to Islamic law, some more heterodox groups, such as the Bektashi order (connected to the Janissaries in the Ottoman Empire), were sometimes accused of indulging in practices that mainstream Islam considered immoral, including lax sexual ethics and excessive consumption of alcohol. These accusations, however, were often part of political power struggles and may not always reflect the reality of their practices. Reflection in Islamic Tradition: It is important to note that while certain rulers, politicians, or even Sufi mystics may have been critiqued for their behavior, they are not viewed as religious figures or prophets with the same level of infallibility expected of prophetic figures in Islam. Islam distinguishes between the human flaws of rulers and mystics and the moral and spiritual purity expected of prophets. As such, accusations of zina or other immoral behaviors among Mughals, Ottomans, or Sufis are often contextualized within the political, cultural, and theological struggles of their time."
