Since Muslim BlueSky is kind of quiet, I think I'll repost things that I find elsewhere, onto my page here.
Hopefully this will be of benefit to someone other than myself too.

Dear Muslim, have you noticed that whenever we talk about evolution, we're usually on the defensive?
We're always at pains to demonstrate how the scientific evidence either doesn't contradict Adamic Creation, or how to address things if it does.

"The Fastest Debate in History!"
Imām al-Rāzī entered one of the mosques in Samarkand to pray. There, he found the mosque's shaykh explaining his books incorrectly. When al-Rāzī corrected him, the shaykh became furious, got agitated, and demanded a public debate to refute what he saw as

![The purpose of rewards you find in hadiths is not for you to become an accountant.
You're not meant to sit down calculating the reward you're receiving for each action. That's not the point.
If anything, any hadith that mentions reward should be read through the lens of God's grace, and that He loses absolutely nothing by gifting from His infinite treasures.
Have a good opinion of God.
God tells us, "Whoever comes with a good deed shall receive ten times the like of it." (An'am: 160)
Elsewhere, God says He multiples spending in His cause by seven hundred, and that "God multiples [even that] for whomever He wishes." (Baqarah: 261)
God is good, and "Your Lord is most gracious (al-Akram)" (96:3) as He tells us in the very first verses revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
So leave your reward with the Lord of reward. You can expect a gift of repayment far greater than you imagine. ❤️🙏](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:recdkffmklb7yoiymhlf6var/bafkreifugcyqv6glkend3bc5so2vkq2thnxylszzgj4cgtqiep76nweoue@jpeg)

The Power of Ḥurūf al-Jarr in Arabic
Prepositions may seem minor, but they play a major role in Arabic. They help verbs connect to their details, clarify meanings, and introduce new ones.
In this thread, we’ll explore their primary function with examples. Let’s dive in! ⬇️

Man is but a traveler in this fleeting world, the mother’s womb his first station and the grave his final stop. His true home lies beyond.

Poem from imam al-Shafi'i.
Here, he advises against focusing on just the legalistic (external) aspects of Islam, or just the spiritual (internal) aspects.
Rather, one must have both, being neither cold-hearted nor ignorant.
May Allah allow us to reach his great status.

1. The science is wrong
2. The way scripture is interpreted is wrong
3. A forced scientific interpretation of the verse obscures its core spiritual message.
