More Muslim Americans are opting to send their children to private Islamic schools. Although the data is unclear since 2011, the numbers are expected to have increased immensely in the past decade. “Islamic schools celebrate a student’s identity, and like Jewish and Catholic schools, are focused on a specific purpose that children don’t usually find in public schools.” Source - @muslim < @middleeasteye #muslim #beingmuslim #islam #islamify #muslimnews #american #americanmuslim #children #school #islamicschool #world #worldmuslim #islamicreminders #motivationalmoments (at Riyadh, Saudi Arabia) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClDGbLuKSBt/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I could just look this up but I think it's more interesting to ask actual people about these things, so apologies

As a person who knows nothing about Islam, I gotta ask - what's the deal with the giant black cube?

Oh man I love talking about our cube! The cube is called the Kaaba, which means ‘the cube’. It is very holy (you are meant to be visualising it as a sort of aiming point every time you pray) but it isn’t secret, and a lot of people assume it is inherently mysterious.

So many pre-Islamic Arabian cities, including Mecca, had a cube. These served as public shrines and housed idols of the pagan gods of that city. A lot of them also housed or had embedded into them meteorites, because something falling from the sky is pretty easy to worship.

Our cube, the cube, is believed to be the site where way back in the day Ibrahim (Abraham, if you want) built a house of worship to God. Over time as monotheism lost out to pagan polytheism its original purpose was lost and people use it as a shrine and copy the form of that shrine elsewhere.

For any Muslim narrative, one of the things that Muhammad does as a prophet is to kick Arabia back onto the monotheism from which it had fallen away (into ignorance, jahiliyyah). So when Muhammad re-enters Mecca he goes to the Kaaba and smashes all the idols inside with a staff while saying that ‘truth has come and falsehood has vanished’ - in some tellings of this he preserves a statue of the infant Jesus and Mary but places it outside. What happens next is a kind of religious compromise where he Islamifies (well, God does, but he’s the one telling Muhammad what to do) bits of the Meccan pagan religion. So the cube stays, the meteorite in it, a black stone, stays, and the Meccan fertility rite of tawaf where people circled the cube naked gets changed so you have to wear clothes and it isn’t horny any more. A mosque is built up around it. Eventually the direction you face during prayer is changed from towards Jerusalem to towards the Kaaba. And from then until now Islamic practice in relation to the cube has not really changed.

FUN CUBE FACTS

It’s not the same building Ibrahim built or the same building Muhammad resanctified. It has fallen down in earthquakes or been destroyed with catapults an alarming number of times and then just rebuilt in a very practical way. The current incarnation dates back to 1626.

It’s not black - in high winds or when it’s being changed, which it is yearly, you can see under the black and gold cloth covering, the kiswah, and see the granite blocks underneath:

The kiswah also doesn’t have to be black. It’s a pretty firmly established tradition now but it’s been red, green and white at various times.

It has an inside. There’s nothing secret about it like the Holy of Holies, every year a bunch of dignitaries get to go in and clean it. There’s nothing material important in there, that being sort of the point:

The little cabinet has cleaning supplies, perfumes and the like. If you pray inside the Kaaba you can face in any direction, plus I like to imagine you unlock a fun little achievement.

6 Bulan dari Sekarang

Tidak sengaja ketika bermain Instagram aku melihat dari postingan Islamify bahwa 6 bulan dari sekarang akan memasuki bulan Ramadhan. 6 bulan dari sekarang juga adalah waktu yang bertepatan dengan seperempat abadnya aku tinggal di bumi. Ketika mengambil jeda dalam dua hari kemarin, aku mulai memikirkan untuk "work on my self". Aku berusaha membereskan kembali kepingan-kepingan perihal apa yang membentuk aku menjadi "aku". Perihal pemaknaan sebagai seorang hamba, anak, kakak, pekerja, mahasiswa, dan lainnya. Aku ingin memulai komitmen untuk perlahan menata lagi diri dari berbagai juru, spiritually, physically, emotionally, financially, juga hal lainnya yang tak terbatas pada intelektualitas semata yang memang dalam waktu 2 tahun terakhir ini menyita fokus juga waktu dalam kehidupannya. Kesedihan ketika tidak bisa menamatkan Al-Qur'an di bulan ramadhan, kesedihan ketika rasanya tubuh sudah tak nyaman diajak beraktivitas berat, kesedihan ketika menurunnya profesionalitas dalam pekerjaan karena kelelahan, kesedihan karena menunda pekerjaan dalam tugas akademik, kesedihan karena tidak se-mindful dan semudah itu untuk mengeksekusi janji pertemuan dengan sahabat atau kerabat... Tumbuh dalam lingkungan yang penuh dengan ketidakstabilan membuat aku memiliki kebutuhan yang cukup tinggi akan keseimbangan. Mencoba ditimbang-timbang agar seimbang, nyatanya akan selalu ada yang berat atau ringan sebelah... Gak papa, yang penting kamu tidak diam. Penemuan akan istilah sedentary behavior itu semakin menguatkanku untuk bilang gak papa, sekalipun kondisinya tidak ideal, yang penting kamu terus mau bergerak. Bukankah ibadah-ibadah dalam Islampun tidak hanya ibadah yang melibatkan pikiran atau perasaan semata, tapi juga ibadah fisik. Maka, teruslah bergerak. Teruslah berusaha mencapai keseimbangan itu yang didalamnya kamu perlu melewati kondisi ketidakseimbangan... Semoga Allah tuntun selalu~

like i wish we could rupture "modernization" and "westernization" from like...... being more accepting and flexible w minorities and rights, and de-islamifying a culture. like the idea that oh well if you want womens rights or gay rights or whatever you have to go to a islamic society which has been westernized and wholly secularized. guess this also happens bc instead of change happening from within islamic tradition its being imported. and its like NO NOOO. NO i want both the tradition and culture and beauty of it And those things not one or the other ;;_;;

You guys someone tell Islamify on insta to stop sharing this . This asshole is very much alive and he lives in my village that half my family was ethnically cleansed from. I don’t know why or where you got the source from but don’t get our hopes up like this.

Nasir El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State from 2015 to 2023, confessed to the goal of Islamification of Nigeria in a speech to his tribe that has been posted on social media without his permission. Below is a report from Islamic social media on the context of the speech,...

A video of a French gay 'imam' went viral after he made claims that the Qurʾān does not prohibit homosexuality, however this is proven to be false, as the Qurʾān mentions, on more than one occasion, about men lusting after other men is a transgression. While Islam prohibits LGBT acts, they are sinful and do not take a person out of the fold of Islam [providing the person(s) know the act is sinful], however if a person makes claim that these acts are permissible, then they are transgressing the laws of Islam, and are not deemed Muslim. The Prophet Lūt made the duʿāʾ: رَبِّ ٱنصُرْنِى عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ My Lord!

Sweden is wild because a member of the liberal party has been quoted saying, “I think the line would be drawn if they started talking about Jews in the same way.” This is referring to an incredibly islamophobic post made by a member of the Swedish democrats. He called Muhammed a mass murderer, slave trader, and more, then goes on to speak about how Islam is a violent ideology that is fundamentally anti-democratic. He mentions the conspiracy theory that Muslims are trying to Islamify Sweden. It’s genuinely disgusting.

This man is known for his vile takes. He also happens to be the chairman of the justice committee, a high position to hold. The opposition is, rightfully, attempting to call to vote this man out of his position, however, all but one of the right wing parties are not open to doing so. This goes beyond free speech.

All this is coming in the wake of the controversial Koran burnings which I have a very strong opinion about, that opinion being that maybe we shouldn’t let right-wing extremists burn the Koran if it risks the nation’s safety or makes Muslims feel unsafe. This politician is trying to say that it is the former government that is to blame, though they were not in power during much of this and are not further trying to fuel the fire of hatred.

He is unapologetically racist, crude and quite frankly, I hope nothing good ever comes his way in life.

Anyways, punch a nazi!

#socialism #his face makes me gag #politics #solidarity #he’s giving blue tick on Twitter #and let’s not forget that his fellow party member made a homophobic statement a few weeks back #some of the things their members have said and done are actually wild #he seems soulless #it must be such a heavy weight to carry to be so hateful #it’s so easy to be kind and open and accepting #left wing #Sweden
