Sufism

Dear Farhansher , I did several edits to Sufism article , my goal was to clarify what different people think about Sufism , I guess it is worth its effort because no branch of Islam is prone to basic misunderstanding as Sufism.Some call it basically of non-Islamic origin and some try to define it in the framework of orthodox Islam to the point of ignoring the fact that Sufism is indeed more than religious piety and devotion.IF you feel my edits present a distorted image , please add or change as needed.Pasha 04:02, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

"Islamaphobia"

You said that the Qu'ran doesn't say that turning away from Islam is punishable by death, and that that sentence was put in the article by an islamaphobe. The Qu'ran may not say this, but that doesn't mean it doesn't occur. I've heard of thousands of deaths of muslims who turned away from islam. Scorpionman 16:13, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Salah

Salaam. By your edits to the salah thread, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are Sunni and you follow the Hanafi mahdhab? I say this because of your seperating the Duha and the Ishraq. While most of the sub-continent hanafi ulema will say that it is two seperate prayers, many of the Arab hanafi's, as well as, to my knowledge, the ulema of the other mahdhabs will say that it is just one prayer. Pepsidrinka 22:03, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, mentioning that it is mostly according to hanafi scholars. Also, make sure you keep it NPOV, mentioning that the majority of these prayers are not performed by Shi'as, and are in fact considered a bidah. FYI, I also follow the hanafi madhab. Pepsidrinka 22:13, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Offensive jihad

Dude, you should only replace an article with a redirect when what you're redirecting to provides an adequate substitute. Unfortunately, the article "Combative jihad" is a chaotic ungrammatical misspelled disorganized mess (with a stupid name) which does not provide an adequate substitute for the "Offensive jihad" article at this time. Therefore, stop blanking the Offensive jihad" article. AnonMoos 02:45, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi Farhanshar! Thanks for your congratz on my adminship, I will do my best to be a good one. I don't remember having any negative interactions with you! I'd ask you when they were, but perhaps it's better to leave it in the past. Look forward to seeing you around! Babajobu 15:11, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Context

I have tagged a few of your articles {{wikfy}}{{context}} but it probably applies to several others. As far as context goes, it is probably sufficient to begin each article: In Sufi philosophy Haal is ... But the total absence of wikilinks is unforgivable.

Eid Mubarak

Salaam. Eid Mubarak. Insha'allah everything went (and is going) well. Pepsidrinka 20:28, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

It never occured to me that you lived IN Pakistan. I figured you were Pakistani living in a western country, but that is what I get for assuming. Nonetheless, I have heard Eid stories from friends and relatives from Pakistan that Eid is alot more exciting over there, and in other Muslim countries in general. Eid over here is really just limited to the first day (both eid al-fitr and eid al-adha) where we do our salat, visit elders and other relatives, and then a big community get together during the night. It's good though, nothing to complain about. Well I guess I can complain about how much better Pakistani food is in Pakistan than over here. Enjoy. Pepsidrinka 20:40, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Eid Mubarak to you Farhanser! --a.n.o.n.y.m 00:33, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Divisions

Hi, regarding Divisions of Islam, maybe you could put the info you told me about Qadiriyyih onto the article. Add a summary of the two schools in the proper place and mention the name thing. Cuñado - Talk 20:15, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Sufi poetry

I've been working on the article on Persian literature and one of the main things lacking is a reference to the influence of the poetry of Rumi, Sa'di, Hafiz, Attar, etc. on Sufi poetry throughout the Islamic world. I'll try to put a section there and then set up a link to an article on Sufi poetry, with special attention to poetry as used in dhikr. Zora 21:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Re:Allah

Hi Farhansher! Literally speaking, Allah or Al-lah means "The God" (as you can see the definite article of Al which means The in English). However, theologically, the issue is a bit complex. When you say la ilah illa allah this would translate to there's no god but The God. IMO, as of most Muslims, Allah is the arabic word of God (the Abrahamic God). Lahoot is a derived word, yes. I am not sure if I could answer your questions. Cheers -- Szvest 15:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

There is some bigoted POV-pushing on Islam:_What_the_West_Needs_to_Know, Jihad_Watch, and Honor Killing. Yuber 23:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Images

You will usually have to ask the person who made it or has it on his website to give you permission, maybe be email. Otherwise you can also try to find some on the internet which are under the free license. Check Misplaced Pages:Copyrights. Those images that you found are pretty good. --a.n.o.n.y.m 23:14, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Philosophy

You are correct. I added it to the science template instead. Maybe we should just have one template with science, arts, and more. --a.n.o.n.y.m 21:59, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

You know what? I was going to do the same thing and combine the templates into one about studies. You read my mind. I changed the title to studies so you will have to go to Islamic studies.

Can you help me by adding the template to all the articles? Thanks --a.n.o.n.y.m 19:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Might I suggest you nominate such a cheery and experienced user for adminship? I would do so my self, but I am relatively new here.

I commented on it on the talk page under "translations" right before the vote. --a.n.o.n.y.m 14:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Dhimmi

I have put the "in use" tag on the Dhimmi page to avoid edit conflicts. Please refrain from editing the article while the tag is in place. Thanks.--Pecher 22:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Re:Kafir

I see no reason why the relation of "kafir" to "infidel" must be made conditional upon the relation of "goy or "nastik" to "infidel". These are separate issues meriting separate consideration. Anyway, if you wish to make an argument, supply your sources. On a separate note, you may want to archive your talk page, as it has become unwieldy.--Pecher 14:54, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Why do you believe that "kafir" and "infidel" are so different? The article on Kafir says that "It is often rendered into English as 'infidel'".--Pecher 15:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Pool 3

Dear Ferhansher,

I would like you please support Pool 3. It can help to delete these insults and have something acceptible. Thanks 216.248.124.210 10:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Hello

I took a look at those pages (i.e. Infidel/Kafir/People of the Book, there was another one), and looking through the history, its the usual people reverting, over essentially semantics. I think of the pages had content that was being disputed, but its really just a game they seem to be playing. Essentially the same people are/were involved with Dhimmi Watch and Jihad Watch. Right now those articles redirect to Robert Spencer. I don't think there's any reasoning these people to see one way or the other; each side is determined to have thier "version" put forth without any care for what the other side is even saying.

Edit summary

Please do not use edit summaries like 'rv hatemongering.' It does not usefully describe your edit, and may be misunderstood as calling another editor a hatemonger, which I am sure you do not intend. Thanks, Tom Harrison 14:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe mediation would be useful. The mediation cabal does a good job, and it's informal. Tom Harrison 20:28, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

"rv Islamophobic POV" is not a useful edit summary. Commentary like this just increases the level of tension, and can become disruptive. Please, just narrowly and factually summarize your edit. 'rv to version x' is neutral and at least minimally informative. Thanks, Tom Harrison 13:50, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 21% for major edits and 50% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 40 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 20:31, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

North african Sufism

Can you give a link to any site that tels about African flavour of Sufism . Living in Pakistan , I never get any info about african Sufi practices . Thanks . F.a.y.تبادله خيال /c 19:35, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

A chart

North African Tradition

The Badawiyyah 13 th century CE is big

The Shadhaliyyah 13 th century CE is big too and many orders are offshoots of them.

They mainly depend on repeating Qur'anic verses, and the 99 Names of God in specific orders in chapters called Hizb, your mix of Ahzab (plural of Hizb) depends on your class of knowledge of Sufism. have a few North African ones, feel free to ask me any question. --The Brain 23:42, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
