His recitation of Surah as-Saff's opening really hit me: Everything in the heavens and earth glorifies God––He is the Almighty, the Wise. O believers! Why do you say what you do not do? How despicable it is before God, that you say what you do not do!

By now I'm convince what you guys really want from religion, isn't guidance or morality, rather it's just a tool for you, if it's useful for the national cause, good if not, toss it. You want Islam to step aside, your twisted image of our predecessors is unfounded in reality.

Important document of a classified direct order of Reza Shah to the minsitry of war. In it he orders "strict prohibition of teaching in Kurdish & Turkish" and "measures to completely outlaw those languages in Iran". This is the stuff we had to deal with, smh.

A poem for Palestine, by Abdullah Pashew with its English translation. It's a small gift from a Kurd, from perhaps the greatest Kurdish poet alive!

An Andalusian scholar in awe of 1228 CE Erbil. al-Fath Abu Nasr bin Musa the Umayyad was a distinguished master of many arts. Fate would have him 5000 miles away from his birthplace in Hawler, which was at the time a booming city of the era under al-Muzzafar of the Ayyubids.

May God have mercy on Sheikh al-Islam Zakariya al-Ansari, one must be living under a rock not to appreciate his vast knowledge. One of the great intellects of the ummah. He wrote in every science & excelled at it, just look at the students he produced & what they wrote about him.

A multi-volume compilation of epistles by the interesting figure Mulla Ibrahim Gorani (d. 1690) the magnet of scholarship in Madinah I came across in a Kurdish bookstore💔 His students in the archipelago helped spread Islam there. Neglected Kurdish ‘ulama deserve way more!

A newly printed collection of nine essays by past Kurdish ‘Ulama’ on the topic of Propositions in Logic. Most of them are by Erbilian scholars and a few by scholars of Eastern Kurdistan, edited by Dr. Luqman Bahrkayi. Incredible endeavor.

Here's a short story: It's known that Marwan II's mother was Kurdish and hence in his last attempt he gathered his armies in the land of the Kurds in leading to battle of “The Great Zab” just like how Abdurrahman would find refuge in his Berber mother's homeland.

It breaks my heart that less than a century ago we used to have astronomy as a subject in our madrasahs in Kurdistan, now in the 21st c. we have it neither in school nor university. Pic: M. Abdul-Qadir Bani Abbasi, one of the last traditional astronomy professors, died recently.

The mastery reached by non-Arabs in the Arabic language is a marvel! The Basran school of grammarians (dominated by non-Arabs) eclipsed the Kufan school. Abdul-Qahir Gurgani is the father of rhetoric as a field of inquiry. Ibn Hajib al-Kurdi’s grammar textbook are seminal.

One of the fascinating facts about our village is that in its graveyard, lies the tomb of a certain Abdullah Andalusi. He was a Derwêş who apparently emigrated from the expulsion of moriscos in Andalus and somehow ended up in the plains of Erbil in the village of Shex Sherwan.

27 years ago today, M. Muhammad Rabi‘i was assassinated by the Iranian regime in the campaign of “chain assassinations” carried out by them. His death left a big gap in the Kurdish Sunni leadership of Iran.

موت عالم موت عالم indeed We lost another giant, farewell M. Tayyib of Bahrka. He passed away while writing a commentary on the Shama’il, finally he gets to meet the beloved. I find solace in what Mir Zendin finally tells Zin “ئەو پیاوە چوویتە جێی حەقان، ئەمە ماینە لە ناحەقان.”
