Library tour of a student of Islamic Sciences | 🧵 Here are all the books that i possess as someone passionately in love with the Islamic Tradition since the past 6 years. (All of these are in English since i have only learned (enough to read a text) Arabic a few months ago)

"Dars e Nizami formed by Nizam ul Mulk a 1000 years ago"Raftar How hard is it to take a single glance at the mere wikipedia page on dars-e-nizami? But i guess he takes his history from prof. hoodbhoy. I expect better from the leading of information-YTber of Pakistan.

The defense minister of pakistan suggests constructing a unified pakistani identity and narrative vis-a-vis the afghan issues/identity, villainises ghaznawi and emphasises indigenous symbols and heroes. The point that khawaja asif sahab fails to consider is that the unified Pakistani identity can only be defined through the muslim identity since Pakistan is an inorganically divided territory with multiple ethnicities, some poles apart from each other culturally - islam can be the only organic glue. Every other "national narrative" would be ad hoc and ideologically fragile. Plus, if Islam is taken as the core of Pakistaniyat, and the national narrative, then it necessarily demands a particular stance towards history, current affairs and foreign policy, the islamic identity then supersedes the nation-state boundaries and essentially guides a trans-nationalistic policy-making with fellow muslim states and a certain type of appropriation of historical figures and incidents. One cannot construct an intra-Pakistan only islamic identity, that you only use in an ad hoc manner to control ethno-nationalist independence, while completely being oblivious to it when discussing foreign policy or engagement with history. Lastly, if indigenous narratives and symbols are to be prioritised over collective ummatic history and symbols, then would they allow a completely independent sindhi or baloch or pushtoon narrative building devoid of the centralised context. Either Islam is central element of identity narratives or ethnic-indigenous local culture is (the two aren't necessarily mutually exclusive), "Pakistaniyat" is a dilemma that forces a middle ground between the two in an ad hoc way. (This isn't about the Ghaznawids particularly)

The fallacy of appealing to Mutazilite theology while simultaneously upholding secularism | 🧵 Syed Muzammil is a known proponent of the separation of faith and state, in fact in this very session he mentions it for the success of the nation. What's interesting however is...

I would never be able to appreciate these kritical thinkers and desi hitmen until they are completely honest about their worldviews, and are ready to have a discourse at that primary level and have their philosophical roots challenged. These people have no grounds to stand upon, no principle axioms to anchor their opinions to - it's all an arbitrary facade of intellectuality, sandcastles. An average committed religious layman, that they portray as dogmatic, has more of metaphysical groundings than them, because for the most of these performative intellectuals haymaker scepticism in and of itself is held to be virtuous. You can quote nietzsche and socrates and machiavelli all day long but arbitrary appeals to cherry-picked quotes of philosophers doesn't hide the fact that you yourself actually have no coherent philosophical framework that structurally guides your thinking and views, and you fit random takes of philosophers atomistically to appear smart. Grow up, get to the crux of it and maturely discuss your foundational principles, rather than throwing ungrounded atomistic criticism at everything.

I swear if Hz. Khalid ibn Waleed (r.a) was from the west, the likes of Alexander would have been a subject of mere footnotes in the literature on the former's military greatness.

Isn't a society with a (materialist) baconian-nietzschean mindset coupled with social darwinism bound to triumph materially and politically over a society that prioritises ethical-akhirah over the material-dunya, doesn't worldly success require some attachment to dunya?

Liberalism in the muslim world is an ideologically spineless/hollow position, Pakistan's liberal-secular intelligentsia is suffering to position themselves in the post-liberal world order because they lack any coherent ideological foundations beneath their surface level adoption of liberalism.

The muslim submission to western modernity as the Meta-Narrative, has blurred our relationship with the dunya and blueprints of success in it - we can never achieve sovereignty in this world through mere nitpicked material imitation, our usage/ dependence on material cannot be detached from our immaterial axioms.
