I certainly hope so. I don't live in the US, but man, ever since gay marriage got legalized, it's been a downward trajectory. Bakeries are forced to bake cakes for gay couples. And now, schools are arranging drag shows for children. If society continues to develop this way, your future children and grandchildren will no longer be muslims. I'm glad that more and more muslims are speaking out against the atheist woke ideology

Exactly. After the overturning of Roe v Wade, Kansas will be the first state voting on abortion, on August 2. Since the Kansas State Constitution currently protects the right to an abortion, a high YES vote on August 2 would ban abortion in the state of Kansas.

Separation of church and state means the US state can’t establish or sanction an official state religious institution (like the Church of England). Whether individual laws or lawmakers are inspired by Locke, Rousseau, Marx, Chomsky, Ann Coulter, the New Testament, the Quran, or any other source has no relation to that, and doesn’t equate to official state endorsement of any institution. Every law or policy has to be based on some philosophical backdrop. Being from a religious source (ie Christian) is not inherently less valid than any other source, constitutionally speaking. The distinctions of validity are only on the basis of individual or social bias, and that’s the basis of public debate. The civil recognition of marriage is obviously a product of Christian society, which people can oppose, but invoking separation of church and state can’t be used as an argument against that. A government marriage document is not a state recognition of any particular church or institution, or creating a “Church of America”.

I know we haven't done one of these in a while, but I think they are a good idea, for obvious reasons which I think most would agree with. We stopped during Ramadan, and we stopped before that when Covid was raging, but we already have been having a brothers only local meetup (Not necessarily SC, but just with some brothers who are here locally in Dearborn). We have been doing them at Qahwa House on Friday nights. It's a kind of offline social networking thing. I'm a real person, and if anyone wants to meet me, here's your chance. Lol. We have been keeping it brothers only but sisters are welcome to join. It is summer here now so they have a big patio. If there are some here who are interested, we can set a date and time. Salam.

There are millions of conservative Americans who aren’t any of these things. You’re just throwing around inflammatory terms to divide large sectors of the country who have a different view. That’s why the country is as polarized as it is. Then you probably shouldn’t have posted to begin with.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Jazakallah. I also don't see anything worth celebrating in the verdict. Besides the legal loopholes that have been mentioned above, the verdict will do very little to change public morality that has been moulded by decades of 'free sex' discourse. That can't be undone with the stroke of a pen. Change has to come from a societal level, if it has to be real change. Let us not get confused and obfuscated about our own political and legal position on the issue, and begin to echo the right wing's position uncritically.

The two hands of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) can be understood with the help of following verse: اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ وَمِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ يَتَنَزَّلُ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنَهُنَّ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا {12} [Shakir 65:12] Allah is He Who created seven heavens, and of the earth the like of them; the decree continues to descend among them, that you may know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah indeed encompasses all things in (His) knowledge. We can say that knowledge & power are pre-requisites for the systems like Universe & Life. To create anything, one must possess the "knowledge" at first place, then the "ability" to act according to his knowledge. Wassalam!!

May this nation either change or crumble to dust and in either case may their evil end. Wallahi. Even the Bani Umayya only got 1000 months.

Those are basically ghulat who hide behind the Akhbari name. In reality they don't have anything to do with the original Akhbari school.

Wa alaikum as salam For a proper reply you will need to refer to experts in fiqh What she did is certainly haram, although I don't know what exactly would be required in such a case for it to be considered adultery. If she has repented and put this behind her then I think her husband should try and find it in his heart to forgive her. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) protect us all from such things

I don't know the details about North America, but in Europe the significant change between gay registered partnerships and gay marriage is the right to adoption, and this is also what I personally find most problematic because now a third party is implicated in an unnatural and immoral structure without any choice of their own.

Protest held in London in support of victims of torture June 26, 2022 | 9:14 AM0 It is noteworthy mentioning that thousands of political prisoners have been tortured in Bahrain’s regime prisons, many of whom have died under torture. It noted that the ruling was in retaliation for his human rights activity, his solidarity with the popular movement launched in Bahrain in 2011, and demands for peaceful reform in Bahrain. https://en.shafaqna.com/269150/protest-held-in-london-in-support-of-victims-of-torture/

Valid point. But I do not believe we should give our politicians the authority to decide who can marry. Power always corrupts. Less than a half century ago under these same traditions based laws, it was illegal for persons of differing races to marry each other. Clearly, whichever tradition the conservatives are relying upon is not acceptable under Islam. I just don't trust politicians and believe they should be given as little power and for as limited a duration as is needed for them to do their jobs. And I don't trust "Christian values" in the modern political sense. I don't know why anyone does. They're going to come after us eventually, if we let them get to that point.

And yet here you are parroting the talking points of the atheist LGBTQ movement and TikTok liberals. You're really projecting. If you believe so strongly in abortion and woke ideology, then Islam isn't for you. You're free to leave. As for my own thoughts on this, I don't live in the US. But nonetheless, I am happy to see that there is a victory for all of us who are believers, regardless if you're muslim, christian or any other religion. Most religions out there condemns abortion. I do hope that with this victory, muslims in the US, and the west in general, will do more to fight against abortion and the LGBTQ indoctrination that is penetrating our society. As Elon Musk put it, it's a 'woke mind virus'

I agree with this statement. Simply because it will increase political polarization and distract public attention away from more serious issues, of which there are many. After decades of the status quo, and the political exploitation of it by all sides, you wonder, why now?

This isn’t some abstract discourse, this is about a specific, practical subject. It would be better if people settle on a methodology, give a direct answer, own up to that answer, and lay it all out there for debate, so others can decide their material course of action. Or simply saying “I don’t know”. Throwing around broad contextual questions and outsourcing the hard work to others for extracting practical conclusions isn’t that helpful. This just sounds like someone not secure in his own methodology. Prove to me that answering any of your above questions on historical context is even a prerequisite at all for settling this issue.

Hi Dave!! Yes, but you need to see this in context with the earlier verses, specifically this: This means whatever he did, did by the permission of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) (be-ithnillah) or in Arabic باذن الله Thanks for quoting these verses. Regards!!

Salam, Not really, brother. He was a Sunni through and through (Hanafi Maturidi) and just had a level of respect for the Ahlul Bayt (ams), that's all. His writings pretty much espouse the standard Sunni position on everything- the caliphate, the faith of Abu Talib (عليه السلام), the question of those who fought Ameer al-Mu'mineen (asws) etc. The theory that people like him or Ibn Arabi were Shi'a in taqiyyah has negligible support and rests on very flimsy evidence, if at all there is any evidence to support it. You will find similar paeans written in the honor of Ahlul Bayt (ams) from other Sufi Sunni poets and scholars ( Jami and Sa'adi, for example). Jami even went on to accept the existence of Imam al-Asr (aj)- his birth and his parentage from Imam Askari (عليه السلام), but remained doctrinally Sunni. Generally when Shi'a urafa posed as Sunni Sufis out of taqiyyah, they either left us works detailing their true beliefs, or told their descendants about their true beliefs, which were revealed when the time was right. Some good examples are Shaykh Safi ad-Din Ardabili (the founder of the Safawiyyah order and ancestor of Shah Isma'il I, rahimahullah), who pretended to be a Shafi'i Ash'ari, or Sayyid Jalal ud- Din 'Surkh Posh' Bukhari , who pretended to be a Hanafi Maturidi out of taqiyyah, but passed on his true beliefs to his children who came out of taqiyyah and revealed them about 3 centuries later. The Ni'matullahi and Noorbakhshiyya orders also have similar histories. Even when they wrote things in their works which went ostensibly against Shi'a beliefs, they very explicitly wrote their true beliefs elsewhere, or in their wasiyyah to their descendants. But we don't find this to be the case with figures like Rumi. The notion that he was Shi'a is misplaced. The most we can argue is that, just like other Sufi Sunnis, he also had some faint Shi'a leanings. As it is the Sunni Sufis consider the Twelve Imams (ams) to be the Prophet (SAWA) 's batini khulafa. But this doesn't mean they are Shi'a.

Had the Taliban trained Pashtun people in Khost and Paktika, the two provinces which were hit by recent earthquakes, in how to deal with earthquakes, the number of casualties would have been probably much less. But instead they are recruiting mainly Pashtun people as terrorists fighters against people of other ethnicities. In fact, most of the Haqqani terrorists are from those two Afghan provinces, Khost and Paktika. That’s why praying without acting accordingly is useless and that's why in aftershocks last Friday an additional number of people died in those two provinces of Afghanistan. An analysis of 8 Sobh news channel, 8 am: Earthquakes in Afghanistan: Natural Disasters and Hate-Motivated Behaviors of People By Hasht-E Subh On Jun 25, 2022 The earthquake in Paktika and Khost provinces in eastern Afghanistan proved how vulnerable the people are to natural disasters and how incompetent the illegitimate rulers are to help the people in such a situation. Afghanistan has witnessed deadly and devastating earthquakes in the southern and eastern parts of the country. Geologists define the causes behind earthquake as the movement of large geological massifs that are separated by an invisible boundary, and this boundary is known in geology as the fault line. Parts of Afghanistan, like many parts of the world, are on fault lines and are always vulnerable. But the case with developing and under developed countries like Afghanistan is different. In developing countries, in addition to specific construction standard that are being applied, the citizens are being trained specifically on how to react to such an events and national disasters. But more dangerous than the activation of natural faults and the resulting earthquakes is the activation of social faults that got viral on social media, exposing the intense and growing ethnic hatred among the citizens of Afghanistan. These reactions indicated how deep gapes are between the different ethnics. If some people from a particular ethnic being victimized, instead of sympathizing and cooperating with the victims, the others on the other part of the country consider it a clear sign of divine wrath, which seems to be in response to crimes against humanity that a particular group affiliated with an ethnic commits in different parts of the country. The afflicted are not considered worthy of sympathy. Of course, such a reaction was morally wrong, and many condemned it, especially since natural events are subject to logic, and in addition, crime is an individual responsibility and cannot be generalized to an entire nation or region. This event, however, from a sociological point of view, showed a deep rift that has opened its mouth in this soil and exposes the failure of the nationalization process. A process that has divided the country into bloody, vindictive, and vengeful islands. Why has Afghanistan fallen into this situation and who is responsible for this? A number of scholars trace the origins of this situation back to the early twentieth century. Once upon a time, post-independence Afghanistan decided to take the path of nation-state, but instead of turning to a mosaic structure that represented the identity of all the inhabitants of the country, it established a flawed nationalism based on which Large segment of the people of this land were eliminated and denied. Others argue that the Forty Years’ War made ethnicity the backbone of politics and that tribal claims outweighed all other claims. Some also blame the technocrats who returned from the republic during the Republican era, who, due to the lack of a social base, resorted to ethnic leverage and sought to gain votes and share power by fueling these tensions. Some believe that the rise of the Taliban, both in the 1990s and in the present, has been the strongest factor in escalating tensions and spreading hatred, as ethnicism has never been used by any party or faction to this naked and disgusting measure. All of these factors so significantly fueling the current situation approach of the people towards each other. Social faults are far more destructive than natural faults, particularly when the faults are argued based on ethnicity. They could turn Afghanistan into another Balkans. The nightmare is that the Taliban are increasing the severity and fuel these faults every day.

While I agree with this decision in the abstract, in the real world this decision is nothing to celebrate. Here's why. There is no legal clarity about what constitutes 'abortion' and who can or cannot be prosecuted. It all depends on where you live and the record of the state or county prosecutor. For example, in the State where I live, Michigan, the State attorney general said she will not prosecute abortion even though there is a 1931 law in Michigan banning abortion which was nullified by the Roe decision but is now in effect. So While the State AG said she will not prosecute, no such statement was made by local prosecutors. So it is still possible to be prosecuted at the local level and there is no clarity as to what is an 'abortion'. So, for example, a women with a high risk pregnancy in which the doctor terminates the pregnancy due to extreme health risk of the mother may or may not be prosecuted. The doctor and the patient could be prosecuted and go to prison. That is why doctors in many counties in Michigan with 'activist' (Trump supporting) prosecutors are saying they will no longer be accepting patients with high risk pregnancies. They don't want to possibly go to prison or lose their license. So what will happen to these women ? Noone knows. The wealthy ones can go to other parts of the state (Wayne and Oakland counties) and rent a hotel room for the course of their pregnancy and deliver there. The poor ones are SOL. Also, we know that the mothers most likely to be prosecuted and go to prison are the poor and minority ones, who can't afford good lawyers. So this decision is no reason to celebrate anything. This is a really bad time to be a women with a high risk pregnancy, in areas where you may be prosecuted, and a bad time for Doctors in those areas. May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) help them.

If that´s the case, maybe try to get a rational and calm reason as to why they think you´re not prepared enough for it? There must be a cause for their rejection.

The assumptions and their justifications: -Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is All Knowing (justified by the Quran) -The Quran is the word of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) (justified by it's inimitability and trust in the Prophet Muhammad ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) -Muslim men cannot marry women who are not from the Ahlul Kitab (justified by the Quran and hadith) -Muslim women cannot marry men who are not Muslim (justified by the Quran and hadith)

It makes me quite sad and disappointed to see how Shia Muslims parrot the talking points of right-wing fascists/Republicans in America and get "ecstatic" as authoritarianism not-so-slowly-anymore becomes accepted. It's a sad day when Shia Muslims are on the same side as white supremacists, fascists, Nazis, and bigots. You're cheering them on now, until the day they take your rights away; and if things continue as they are, that day will come sooner than you expect. I don't plan to debate or discuss this topic. Wassalam

Salam, We are not deprived from the communication with the Imam of our time. He is our Wali and the link to our Wali already established by the Will of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). Reading salawat will strengthen the link with the permission of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). However, we may no able to detect the communication / feedbacks because of our weaknesses. If we make sincere repentance, Imam (عليه السلام) may already intercede to our request for repentance to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى). In the case of the narration of Imam Ali (عليه السلام) that you referred to, the intercession came physically from Imam Ali to the person. If the person was not sincere, he would not get the help that he needed. Wallahualam.

Inna lillah Wa Inna Ilayhi Rajioon. Condolences.

Women in Texas have already been arrested and prosecuted for miscarriage.... I am opposed to abortion in general, as I believe it to be the taking of a human life, but now states can criminalize saving a woman's life. I do believe, as is appropriate according to Islam, that there are some situations in which abortion is necessary. Also, I don't trust politicians to make medical decisions on my or anyone else's behalf. In states like Texas and Missouri, what is the penalty for a man who causes an unwanted pregnancy?

Explain this. If you are disrespecting the 12th Imam, may Allah hasten his reappearance, then a warning will be issued.

Abortion in the context of American politics has always been something I felt conflicted about. On one hand, pro-life groups often place ridiculously strict bans on abortion, such as banning the termination of epcotic pregnancies, which is wrong in Islam On the other hand, if I was to support pro-choice groups, I would be supporting the abortion of hundreds of thousands of second and third trimester babies (10-11% of abortions occur after 13 weeks) which is also wrong.

It's not about specific question, but generally you should try to find out three things. These three things will tell you everything you need to know (to decide to marry or not) 1. How do they treat the close people in their life. Specifically mother and father but also siblings, grandparents, etc. This is a preview of how they will treat you (their spouse). Most people can put on a show for a few days or weeks (i.e. have good aklaq) but you will only know if they actually have good aklaq based on these relationships. There is an * to this. In some cases, if they were oppressed in an extreme way by their parents or family (like they were sexually abused over a long period of time, etc), they you can disregard the relationship with the oppressor, whether that is their mother, father, sibling, etc. Those relationships don't count toward good aklaq, because if you were oppressed in an extreme way by anyone, even if that was your mother or father, there is no expectation of having a good relationship with them. 2. What is important to them and not important. If deen and following the wajibat and avoiding haram are important to them, then they have the 'deen' component necessary for marriage. You can tell more about this from their actions than them words. Also, they should be willing to stay on a program of increasing their Iman and getting closer to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) thru good deeds. 3. What are their plans for the future. They should have some goals and plans. For example, does he / she want children, how many. What are the career plans, or if it is a lady is she satisfied with working in the home and taking care of the children .Some ladies would be perfectly content with that, other's wouldn't. What country / city / state are they planning on calling home ? Etc. There is no right or wrong answers for this but these plans need to align, at least somewhat, in order to have a happy marriage.

You would have to consult your marjaa on this one. From what I know the rule about them being najis applies only if you know for sure they are Mushrik. If you don't know for sure, then they are tahir under the known presumption that everything and everyone is tahir unless you know for sure otherwise. Just because someone is LGBTQ doesn't mean you can automatically assume they are Mushrik/a. That would be a wrong presumption, in many cases. So based on what I know they are tahir unless you know for sure they are also Mushrik/a in addition to being LGBTQ whatever. BTW, if you don't feel comfortable eating with someone or from someone's hand, then don't do it. You have that freedom, regardless of whether they are najis or not. But to say specifically they are najis requires more information, in most cases.

Walaikom assalam. I think that "excessive repentance from the heart" and "certain words" are one and the same thing. The duas that the Ahlulbayt have left for us are, in essence, excessive repentance from the heart. Like Dua Kumeyl. If Dua Kumeyl isn't excessive repentance from the heart, I don't know what it is. Although of course, Imam al-Zaman a.t.f.s is alive. We can benefit from him while in occultation in the same way that we benefit from the sun while behind the clouds, as the Imam himself says. Besides, we have tens of thousands of narrations of the Imams of Ahlulbayt. There are so many things that we still learn from these narrations. Of course not, because we still have hadeeths from the Ahlulbayt about duas and prayers. One can just pick up al-Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya or Mafatih al-Jinan and read a supplication for anything. Al-Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya: https://www.amazon.com/Sahifa-Sajjadiya-Supplications-Imam-Sajjad/dp/B09FS9DYX4/ref=sr_1_5?crid=2BT8FVS0FE1SL&keywords=sahifa+sajjadiyya&qid=1656046448&sprefix=sahifa%2Caps%2C620&sr=8-5 Mafatih al-Jinan: https://www.amazon.com/Mafatih-al-Jinan-Translation-Supplications-Observances/dp/1073502597/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1EFS5DBGWJZ87&keywords=mafatih+al+jinan&qid=1656046452&sprefix=mafatih%2Caps%2C382&sr=8-1 Well there's a certain way of talking to God. Imagine if two people came to you, both begging for money. The first person just asks you to please give him some money. The second person uses the most eloquent language that you've ever heard, almost like poetry, asking for you to help them. Who's more persuasive, the first or the second? The second is definitely more likely to get money. Similarly, those who use the words of Ahlulbayt to address Allah are more likely to be forgive/blessed. And if someone truly wants to repent, why wouldn't they use the words of Ahlulbayt anyway? May Allah bless you and your family and grant you Jannat al-Firdaus. The difference between God and the drunk man mentioned in your story is that God knows our thoughts. If the fishermen had known that the drunk man would betray them after they saved him, would they still be as willing to save them? Similarly, if God knows that while you are repenting you're planning to go back sinning again, will He forgive your sin? However, of course, God's mercy is infinitely more than that of the hypothetical fishermen. God forgives large and small sins abundantly. But part of the conditions of repentance being accepted is that while you are repenting, you're sincerely planning to keep away from sin. May God bless you and your family and grant you the highest level of Heaven.

May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) have mercy on those who have departed, and help those who are in distress, bihaqqil ma'soomeen. Wassalam.

Salam. I have been searching for writers who would give me the Turkish rights of their books with no royalty/money in return. Because I need some funding for my other Islamic services, I thought maybe, publishing books might bring me some income. So, I have contacted shia muslim writers online. And one sheikh responded positively. And I welcomed him in Istanbul a few days ago. I won't name him for his privacy but I need to say here that it was such a blessing for me. He was on his way to Karbala with his family and just wanted to meet me here. He was always cheerful and encouraging. I liked the way he was always thinking about Allah and the servitude to Islam. I like how he joined congregational prayers in sunni mosques. And I witnessed he speaks at least four languages. He would do the chores on his own, not letting his family or students or me do the job for him. He would not waste their money. He would walk the not long distances even though I offered the tramway rides and mashaAllah he was athletic although he is older than me. He would look for supermarkets and buy things cheap. What's the word for it? Wholesale? He would carry things on his own, do other things on his own without letting others do it for him. He would offer treats to the youth around him like ice-cream and etc. without getting one for himself. These are the things I witnessed in a few hours only. MashaAllah. How lucky you are when you have such scholars. And please pray for me that I accomplish what I have started. Thanks.

Thank you all so much. I just assumed they are "studying" at the university because of their ages. And the parents in my little city aren't those kinds that would let their children unsupervised. For a girl to wander around in the park with boys, I assumed they are from different cities and are here to "study". Usually 2 year colleges are not considered worthy here. And most of the students there are just killing time "freely" away from their parents. So, I assumed they are studying at the university. My second clue was their Turkish accent. It was clear they were not born and raised in my city. So they have to be studying here away from their hometown and parents. It was just sad and made me angry. And three days ago, I went to a big city in Turkey and my God it was worse. If I had lived there, probably I would not be able to take my family around. People drinking alcohol in the streets and near the bosphorus, teens getting intimate in public transportations, dancing near the ice cream sellers. It seems the fall/secularism of the Muslim Nations are worse than the fall of non-muslims. Sad indeed. Just one man approached me after I prayed in Hagia Sophia. I thought he wanted to get to know me and why I prayed like I did (because that I witnessed many times) and to my surprise he was asking for money. Anyway, I haven't been to other countries except for Iran and now I know better why we need to live under an Islamic Government and why the moral police is also a necessary institution. May Allah protect the Ummah from the evils of secularism.

We pray only for the innocent among them! And I prefer to pray for those neglected and who were mentioned in this post and this post.

Peace and salutations Paul wrote his letters in Greek, Paul referenced the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures) and like many of his contemporaries he was influenced by Hellenism—Paul lived in a cosmopolitan city (Tarsus) and his particular brand of Judaism was heavy tingled by Hellenism—Paul attempted to infuse a great deal of authenticity and effort into his Jewishness for precisely these reasons.

I would argue that this confusion was similar to Moses' 40 days absence during which his followers were tested. The Nazarenes, like the calf-worshiping Jews failed the test. As the rumours of Jesus' death started by his enemies became widespread, his disillusioned followers retrospectively painted the whole thing as a divine masterplan, with all the Christologies that ensued. Those among them that maintained Jewish law were sidelined by Paul's movement very early on, and within just 2 generations the little remnant of Judaism within the Jesus sect was erased. It was supplanted by a wave of converts from the greco-roman world who found in this transformed and readapted original Jewish sect, a favorable echo for their own beliefs, naming this new religion, Christianity.

The church was so well under control that within the same generation of the disciples, this Jewish sect of the Nazarenes, whose distinction from mainstream judaism was only in the belief that Jesus was the messiah, turned upon its heels, abandoned Jewish law, adopted concepts unheard of anywhere in Judaism? Once more, these changes didnt occur "at a later stage" but very early on, as explained in a previous post. There is a reason why "the writers" including Paul do not quote the Hebrew Bible in this NT where Judaism is "soaking the pages". They quote from the Greek Septuagint which was hated by the rabbis as it represented the Hellenization of many Jews of the time. The "Jewish Early Church" very early on became irrelevant due to Paul's efforts at supplanting it, dismissing Jewish law as obsolete, reinterpreting core semitic concepts of God so as to appeal to his pagan audience. Paul's main problem was to convince his Jewish audience that the messiah's death, without accomplishing any of the messianic criteria, instead of being a failure was actually a necessity. He did so by introducing the doctrine of total depravity, making all humans de facto sinners and therefore in need of an atoning sacrifice. His addressees however already believed in the resurrection of the dead, in a just God who forgave the sins of a penitent heart. Nothing was missing in their system that Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection could fix. Paul's redeeming hero was a redundancy to them, so he was obviously met with fierce resistence wherever he preached his unscriptural ideas. This led him to eventually turn to the gentiles among whom he found a much more favorable audience. All this is evident from a cursory reading of the NT and the writings of Paul. That is how Christianity was shaped, using its target audience's sensitivities all the while toning down to the maximum its Jewish heritage.

Releasing of Saudi Arabia's youngest political prisoner The young Saudi was released after Saudi leaders announced in 2020, in part of their royal decrees, that they would abolish the death penalty for those who committed crimes at a young age. Saudi Arabia executed 81 people, including 7 Yemenis and a Syrian, in the largest execution in one day, claiming to have deviant beliefs and links to terrorism.
