this ayah was on my mind this morning
its super sarcastic
“so yall gonna kill your daughters for God to keep and pretend the feminine has an honored place in your religion?” to paraphrase. the main problem with the nonbelievers in the Qur’an is they live in those kinda dissonances between their unjust reality and their connection to the divine. femicidal worshippers of female deities, rabbis who revise community law to betray their own people. its a running theme that tradition and ancestral way, and the authorities behind them, must be challenged with our own agency and a measured evaluation of our reality. this is helpful for me as ive noticed ancestral practice occupies a great space in liberatory discourse for indigenous people all over, including and especially Black people.
