One of the most damaging talking points in modern culture is “Karbala is for everyone” without further explanation.
Karbala is fundamentally a theological issue and everything else such as political significance flows from the theology.
Interesting to note that pretty much every "contentious" point that people are mad about in regards to the personal status law legislation in Iraq is just straight up Sistanis or the shaheeds risala lol
My favorite form of modernist Muslim "critical skepticism" is the practice of divorcing ethical identities from their actual moral claims and then trivializing the term to some silly "being kind" practical definition.
To the guy in the video "exploiting other animals" means even eating an egg (in of and itself) or owning a sheep on your farm etc. To act as if veganism just means being anti factory farming is very disingenuous and is purposely avoiding the world view of the identity.
The new wave of the constant obsession with travel is a comfortable coping mechanism for a lot of people who have a deep rooted identity/purpose crisis.

There are a host of issues and assumptions in this supposed epistemological quagmire.
There’s an epistemological problem with ʿilm al-rijāl that rarely gets discussed.
How do we know a narrator was trustworthy?
We consult the reports and judgments preserved about him.
How do we know the people transmitting those reports were trustworthy?
We consult reports and judgments preserved about them.
Keep going and eventually you arrive at a very simple question:
Where does the independent verification come from?
A chain can be perfectly ṣaḥīḥ according to the rules of the system. But that tells us the chain passed the system’s criteria. It does not independently establish that the Prophet or Imam actually said the words attributed to him.
That gap between isnād authentication and historical demonstration is where things get interesting.
The GOP holds the moral framework of the Democratic Party 10 years ago and secular islam holds the moral framework of the Democratic Party 20 years. It’s all one nice line, some at the front some at the back all marching towards the hottest pit in hell.
The Instagram and Tik Tok algorithm has caused more destruction on the Muslim world than the equivalent of 50 years of western colonialism without exaggeration. A entire generation in the third world lobotomized into enlightenment values through reels
I'm click baiting, this is a 120+ year old question and ruling that I'm removing from it's context. Entire article , highly recommend:
