Some trads will crucify you for saying this (they don't live in reality)
Biz kızlardan uzak durduk konuşmadık arkadaş olmadık da ne oldu yalnız kaldık evlenemiyoruz bile. Zamanında bize öğüt veren aman uzak durun diyen hocalar da hani bulamadın mı kimseyi diyor dalga geçer gibi. En iyisi itidalli olarak karşı cins ile görüşmek konuşmak.

for pretty obvious reasons this is the thing that maximally hits my boomer resentment rage button. they lived in a world where you could take this journey and just fucked around coasting off the hospitality of poor people and looking for drugs.

Saladin’s hospital in Cairo (as described by Ibn Jubayr) did this—a courtyard graced with greenery and running water, with the structure’s architecture itself being sprawling and palatial. The Almohad Ya‘qub al-Mansur followed suit. The idea was that beauty itself healed.
Unironically, every new hospital should have a beautiful one of these at it’s heart. That would be provably good for the physical & mental health of patients and staff. You can read more about how and why…

>""Muslims"" in Italy are praying on a train >Performs Sujood 4x >Prays in shorts >No ablution
On a train in Italy you don't pray on the floor in the middle of people. That's not prayer, it's a show of force. Everyone is free to believe what they want, but public space must be respected. Enough with fanaticism.

I've compared 2022 coup against Imran Khan in Pakistan to 1997 Turkish coup against Necmettin Erbakan; the motives, methods, and outcomes are especially similar. This passage by Erik Zurcher on late 1990s Turkiye, minus the Kemalism, could've been writ abt 2020s Pakistan.

Muslims should just claim people like Goethe for ourselves to be honest. It’s not like the average rootless cosmopolitan in the West has much in common anymore with their great artists and thinkers, and their children won’t know how to read in the future anyway

Autism in one tweet. Islamic ethics is not simply pouring over fiqh manuals. If that was all, nobody would have ever written on adab and ihsan. The idea that “technically according to this legal manual you have the right to do X, but you prob shouldn't” isn't an alien concept
Hold on. How do you mean fiqh and ethics are different? You’re saying the shariah allows “unethical” behaviour? What is “ethics”? What is the Islamic concept that refers to “ethics”? I’m not aware of this being an Islamic concept at all. The fiqh is our complete source of guidance on the good. Do you agree with that? Because you seem to be contradicting it.

“How can he tell people not to do something they have a right to do? How could doing something they have a right to do be bad? By definition it can't be. This must be some sort of nonsensical unIslamic concept. I am very smart.” -Some of you guys

Today I learned that Syrian textbooks under Assad were more anti-Iran than the ones today.
Replying to @Osint613
The most telling edit: ninth grade geography. The old book listed the "stolen regions": Palestine, plus land held by Turkey and Iran. The new edition deletes Turkey and Iran. Palestine stays, and a new line names Israel. Then: "How can one be rid of these artificial borders?"

More blackpill: So in addition to the ~1dinar/month wage for day workers, I see some sources that a modest dwelling in Cairo could be as low as 20 dinars. One unskilled labourer could also easily cover subsistence food cost for a family of four: cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Blackpill: 120-210 dinars to purchase a rich (not normal!) house in a big city. Low end day worker earns 1 dinar a month. Seems like medieval labourers might have had a better shot at buying a luxury property in a big city than middle class zoomers have at buying a normal one!

What would this actually cost for the period (late 9th cent. Egypt)? It seems to have been ~20 dinars for a slave (but wide range). A common day labourer seems to earn ~1 dinar/month (some earned several dinars more monthly). Rent for a shop (in the city?) was ~1.5 dinar/year.
In Abbasid/Tulunid-era Egypt, a wealthy, successful 40-year-old who had never married wrote another man to ask for his daughter’s hand in marriage. In the letter, he had to explain he’d had plenty of sex with concubines to avoid rejection as a homosexual. papyrus-stories.com/2020/09/…
