So with all this appalling #KavanaghHearing stuff, I figured I'd lull myself to sleep by tweeting a thread on the inherent virtue jurisprudence of Islamic law in it's appointment and regulation of judicial appointees.
So first, what does a judge do? A Qāḍī’s (Arabic word for judge) basic function is to resolve disputes and allocate rights to litigants.
The Qāḍī retains not only the power to interpret and express what the law is, but the authority to order it be applied by the executive.
In order to be appointed, the candidate for a judicial position had to possess be a free Muslim of legal capacity, be of sound mind, and possess high moral probity (ʿAdāla).

Is a lot of nuance that goes into dealing with complex social issues.
How do we talk about abuse? How do we talk about the roles of people involved in an abusive situation?
It is entirely unproductive for us to never address the roles that each individual plays in uncovering, counseling, & even adjudicating instances of abuse.
These things must be discussed but in a tone & a manner that speaks to those who would play a parts in the three roles here.
They need to know about the ethics values and processes that go into treatment of abuse. This is all preemptive information that specialist must be empowered with in order to appropriately deal with situations they face

This is a very good article about the benefits of pre-marital counseling.
In this thread I'll mention a few other things I think people considering marriage need to consider melmagazine.com/premarital-cou…
Find a pre-marital counseling program offered by a LICENSED practitioner who is TRAINED in a SPECIFIC method of pre-marital counseling.
Let me explain a little more what I mean by these capitalized word.
LICENSED: A license provides a baseline. It sets a standard. You can know that your counselor has experience and education in the GENERAL field which isn’t guaranteed with unlicensed providers.

This is a good video on the general difference btw religious studies & theology by
@andrewmarkhenry on Religion for Breakfast.
He touches on a few points I'd like to expand on a little
Dif btw religious studies & theology:
- a Muslim theologian would ask "Why do we reject idolatry?" Then substantiate this from primary texts.
- a religious studies scholar specialized in Islam would say "What in 7th century Arabia gave rise to Muhammad rejecting idolatry?"
Note that the Muslim theologian is not primarily concerned with historical questions, but textual ones; the religious studies scholar the opposite.
For the former, history is not a primary cause for theology/belief, revelation is. Meaning each field is based on diff assumptions.

I'd like to add 3 points here:
1 - This is one position taken by scholars, and it's related directly to the manner in which the Islamic calendar is determined: Is it a local calendar or one that corrects based on global sighting?
2 - There is an impetus for Arafa and Eid alAdha being connected, as is narrated from Aisha in Bayhaqi's Ma'rifah, in Tirmidhi's Sunan, as well as others that "Arafah is the day you stand at Arafah and Adha is the day you sacrifice." As well as "Arafa is the day the Imam stands."
3- The problem here is not a crisis of difference, as this has always existed. Ibn Hajar famously records one incident in Inbā al-Ghimr. The problem is two-fold; a crisis of knowledge and of character.
