Assalam Alaikum,
I wanted to see what everyone thinks about this. I read from different books of tafseer online via websites like archive.org and others. I had no problem with doing this up until recently. Now there is a feeling in my heart that this isn't right, especially if the author is still alive today. What is everyone's opinion on this? Are there any alternatives to this issue, like where you pay a small amount and are able to access books (sort of like netflix)?

Recently, I posted a question on Farhan Iqbal's Ask.fm account:

Will you be issuing a correction on your next episode of the podcast for the blatantly inaccurate statement from your co-host Shahrukh Rizwan Abid uttered, that the issues covered in my book and video amounted to "I hate the culture" and contained "no concrete arguments"?

I didn't realize that it's the perfect platform for Ahmadiyya missionaries, because no one can see a conversation in reply to his response. So I will respond here.
First, Farhan Iqbal's response [archived]:

Dear Sohail, I'm surprised that out of all things, you chose to pick this phrase and doubled down on it.
Through many years of posting anti-Ahmadiyya messages on Twitter, Redditt, and other platforms and endorsing other people's messages against Islam, etc. it is hard for me to believe that you picked this statement and lost your cool. Over the years, you have made "blatantly inaccurate" statements about the Holy Prophet (sa), the Holy Quran, the Promised Messiah (as) and the Khulafa of Ahmadiyyat (ra). How many times have you corrected yourself? How many times have you read the responses and brushed them aside?
Did your book not convey the feeling that you hated the Ahmadiyya culture? Is the reader of your book not supposed to walk away with this feeling in mind? As per arguments, I have told you before that you had arguments, but those are not "concrete arguments". None of us are under the impression that you have "concrete arguments". I will give you an example. You have repeatedly decried Islamic morals. I have asked a simple question in response: What is your definition of morality? Your responses have failed to give us any clear insight into what morality is without the concept of God.
I'm arranging for you to receive a free copy of the book. Give it a read and refute the arguments if you can.

Let me now answer it piece by piece:

Dear Sohail, I'm surprised that out of all things, you chose to pick this phrase and doubled down on it.

Farhan Sahib, I see a lot of misleading content from yourself and your colleagues, but today, I had a window of time to actually follow up. It seems it is you who is actually doubling down to protect the reputation of your co-host Shahrukh Rizwan Abid, even when he blatantly mischaracterized my work.
One the reasons I also took issue with this is because the most effective thing you can do to hold on to your flock is to dissuade them from actually engaging with counter arguments from the source (such as through my material). It's important that I push back on that mischaracterization because once people review my material, your apologetics in defense of the faith are far less compelling.
I was also shocked, because while I disagree with Ahmadiyya Islamic theology, I have generally found and shared with others that Ahmadi Muslim murabbiyaan are decent people one can converse with, even though we might disagree on substance.
I should have anticipated that as people are increasingly moving away from Ahmadiyyat (and Islam generally), that the Jama'at would be getting more and more desperate—and that the tactics of missionaries would begin to reflect this.

Through many years of posting anti-Ahmadiyya messages on Twitter, Redditt, and other platforms and endorsing other people's messages against Islam, etc. it is hard for me to believe that you picked this statement and lost your cool.

Posting and endorsing content critical of Islam generally and Ahmadiyyat specifically is not nefarious. If one were criticizing Scientology, I'm sure you wouldn't have an issue with that either. And you know my criticism of the religion is not one that preaches hate against believers. I separate negative ideologies from the people who are victims of the indoctrination.
As for the "lost your cool" bit, I do find that statement and the "you seem angry" statement you made on Reddit highly condescending, in addition to being inaccurate. It's the disappointment I have in you and the integrity with which imams of the Jama'at are now lacking in how they mischaracterize their critics.
Taking you to task for a gross mischaracterization on your podcast is an important correction, because it speaks to a strategy increasingly common with religious apologists in the face of criticism.
You want to take the focus off the arguments and telegraph to your audience that non-believers are emotional. A sort of, "Move along people; nothing to see here" tactic.

Over the years, you have made "blatantly inaccurate" statements about the Holy Prophet (sa), the Holy Quran, the Promised Messiah (as) and the Khulafa of Ahmadiyyat (ra). How many times have you corrected yourself? How many times have you read the responses and brushed them aside?

Why don't you point out an example of such a "blatantly inaccurate" statement I have made that needed correction? My statements and positions may be counter to what you believe to be true, but are you going to tell me there are objective facts I got wrong and ignored? Most of my criticisms come with citing embarrassing hadith or quotes from your own religious texts.
Now, there are a lot of people who tweet at me and I cannot respond to every person and chase down every argument. But why don't you give me an example of an objectively wrong statement I've made about Islam that a Christian, Hindu, or someone else not biased towards Islam will side with you on? When I pressed Razi of 'Ahmadi Answers' a few years back on what I "got wrong" in my article on Ahmadiyya beliefs and practices (which he used to harp on about), he could not give defensible specifics. Such complaints seems to be a common FUD tactic in the Jama'at.
I mean really, how many times have I cornered you and you didn't respond or brushed it aside? Your excuses, for example, for why you didn't reference my work in your alislam.org articles, where you lift entire paragraphs from my book without referencing the author or even the source, were quite silly.

Did your book not convey the feeling that you hated the Ahmadiyya culture? Is the reader of your book not supposed to walk away with this feeling in mind?

No, the book doesn't convey that feeling about the culture. It makes people question the morality of the religion. And religion and culture are different, right Farhan Sahib?
At the end of my book I comment on the Jama'at and community, but it doesn't make one hate the culture. It conveys the deep seated problems created by the religion, which result in the unfortunate pain, grief, and disillusionment for many.
Further, isn't the Ahmadiyya culture that many people complain about (such as on this subreddit) a direct reflection of your religious injunctions and your leadership? Why is that even something that should escape your responsibility to defend?

As per arguments, I have told you before that you had arguments, but those are not "concrete arguments". None of us are under the impression that you have "concrete arguments".

Having "concrete arguments" does not necessarily mean that you accept my arguments and agree with me. Contrasted with emotional sentiments like "I hate the culture", the point is that I have laid out points about theology. Your own Amir Canada was more honest pointing out to me that he thought my book was "scholarly" after he read it in 1998, and that he didn't have answers for me.
I wonder why he didn't say, "Ah, this is an appeal to emotions!"
The subtext from Shahrukh Rizwan Abid's mischaracterization of my work was that I'm just dumping on the Ahmadiyya culture; that I'm not actually pointing out criticisms with the Ahmadiyya Islamic theology.
The truth is, I am critiquing the theology using scripture, whether you like the arguments or not. Whether they convince you or not.
It's a clearly articulated argument. Concrete in it's formulation, even if you feel it is not a "worthy" or "substantive" argument. Honestly, if you think that, I don't know what you consider a concrete argument against Islam. Perhaps you want to give me an example and then contrast that with my Issue 3, Women as deficient, as gifts, and as objects acted upon by men where I tie in references to my postulates.
My book is not a narrative about how Ahmadiyyat stopped me from drinking and partying.

I will give you an example. You have repeatedly decried Islamic morals. I have asked a simple question in response: What is your definition of morality? Your responses have failed to give us any clear insight into what morality is without the concept of God.

Farhan Sahib, I'll be charitable. You may be responding to so many people you've forgotten some of the interactions we've had. I've laid out in a short twitter thread to you, my response regarding morality.
I suspect you're labouring under the faulty premise that unless I have a bunch of do's and don'ts listed on stone tablets, I don't have a basis for morality. I think you mislead your listenership and followers by repeating the same line, even though you know that non-theists reject your theistic framing altogether. When have you ever tried to steel man the position and answers that have been given to you before on this?

I'm arranging for you to receive a free copy of the book. Give it a read and refute the arguments if you can.

You can post a PDF of it online for everyone to read and critique. I'll certainly look at the printed copy when I get a chance, and determine in what priority I should respond to that versus other items in my queue.
I may take your approach and respond to the topics in your book as response topics of my own, since it seems you haven't written a response to each of the numbered questions in my book.
Tell me, do you even encourage your readers to read my book in full to get the context of my argument, and not just your re-framing of what you think the argument is?
I really do find that the way your colleague has mischaracterized my work is a desperate attempt to have people not engage with my material at the source. But given the number of people whispering about doubts they or their family members have, I know you cannot stem the tide of people waking up.
Cheers.

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

[May He] send his peace and blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, the Prophet SAW and his family and his companions all together. May the Peace and Mercy and Blessings of Allah be Upon You.
This is a response to u/whateverwhocaresbye on her post I think I'm having a "crisis of faith" :(
Many of our misconceptions about women, marriage, gender roles today emerge from the Colonial Era as well as "modernity;" This is the typical cultural narrative Muslims have adopted today.
However, there is more to be said from this because in many instances we willfully adopted nationalistic, Cultural, Social, Scientific beliefs that affect the way we think about the world.
Another way our misconceptions about marriage arises come from rhetoric and polemics. Many Muslims assume that anything deemed "traditional," existing in or as part of a tradition (usually from religion); long-established, is comparable to what the "Islamic tradition" says. So when American politicians/moralists (abuse) utilize family values, traditional values, etc they are using it in a certain way that is not necessarily for family values but ulterior motives such as racial suburban segregation (Biden called out Trump on this in the first debate) and more recently privatization of the economy (neo-liberalization).
Another way is how many Muslims adopt silent ideologies/movements out of opposition to more apparent movements; so being reactionary without deliberate thought.
So many mainstream shaykhs and speakers, as well as more abrasive speakers like Daniel Haqiqatjou actually utilize anti-feminist, anti-collective, Masculinism (yes this is a real thing), pro-capitalist rhetoric for the mere purpose of "owning liberals," the all-powerful, but weak ambiguous yet pervasive, silent but loud Muslims who are deemed to be people who will destroy Islam.
So the following articles, chaptebook suggestions, podcasts, videos are basically tackling this issue holistically from science, culture, politics, economics, etc
You should not find these books on libgen, Hint hint,

• TRIGGER WARNING THIS BOOK TALKS ABOUT RAPE Introduction from The Age of Scientific Sexism: How Evolutionary Psychology Promotes Gender Profiling and Fans the Battle of the Sexes. This book argues that the idea that women are sexually coy and men are sexually aggressive/impulsive and that rape as "evolutionary benefits" comes from Darwinism in the 19th century and has no scientific basis despite evolutionary psychologists championing these beliefs. This matters because of the way think about marriage. Often we say men provide for women and in exchange women provide sex many of the rhetoric around this denies women sexual autonomy and pleasure, cultivates accessible beliefs/behaviors of abuse in marriage using religious texts. But many of our beliefs about sex in marriage doesn't come from Islam but secular evolutionary (eugenics) scientism (the promotion of science as the best or only objective means by which society should determine normative and epistemological values) vs. doing science

• Evangelical churches believe men should control women. That’s why they breed domestic violence. A lot to learn from the "Ahli Kitaab"

>"In the 1980s, Christian feminists began to challenge the exclusivity of male leadership in the church, as well as aspects of theology, including the assumption God was masculine in nature. The feminist movement that had been gaining momentum in wider society during the 1960s and 1970s underpinned this revolt against male privilege in the church. In fervent response, evangelical factions of the Christian church began to double down on men’s authority over women. In fact, evangelical Christian leaders who believed in the infallibility of biblical scripture, began to blame Christian feminists for creating more divorce, sexual abuse and promiscuity."

My content analysis of twenty-six documents (130,000 words) designated by the community as central to its purpose and ideology shows that The Red Pill is not just an expression of hegemonic masculinity but also explicitly integrates neoliberal and scientific discourses into its seduction strategies. I theorize that the resulting philosophy superficially resolves a contradiction between hegemonic masculinity’s prescriptive emotional walls and an inherent desire for connection by constructing women as exchangeable commodities.

• Sexual Violence in the ‘Manosphere’: Antifeminist Men’s Rights Discourses on Rape

> This paper explores the role that men’s rights activism (MRA) is playing in a contemporary backlash to feminist anti-rape activism. We engage in a discourse analysis of popular MRA websites to reveal a set of interrelated claims, including: that sexual violence, like domestic violence, is a gender-neutral problem; that feminists are responsible for erasing men’s experiences of victimization; that false allegations are widespread; and that rape culture is a feminist-produced moral panic. We argue that sexual violence is emerging as a new focus of the men’s rights movement, competing with a longstanding emphasis on fathers’ rights. The subject of MRA activism has shifted and is becoming less familial and more sexual. MRAs appear to be using the issue of rape to mobilize young men and to exploit their anxieties about shifting consent standards and changing gender norms.

Greetings from Australia fellow humans. I recently had this sudden urge to procastinate from studying for my finals next weeks by going through random wikipedia articles online, and I came accross something quite unusual. According to wikipedia and The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research (SETA ) , even though Albania is a muslim majority country, prejudice against muslims and islamophobia in general are quite common. The most disturbing thing I found reading the document (attached below ) are political pundits calling for outright ethnic cleansing against muslims in the Balkans and outright demands for banning the Quran, and that muslim Albanians aren't "true Albanians". Here's an excerpt from the doucument:

1. " On May 26, 2016, a media analyst, Kastriot Myftaraj, pressed charges against the Quran. The case he brought before the court and reported in the media demands for the Quran to be banned as a book that 'contains plans of genocide against humanity, feeds religious, ethnic, and racial hatred, as well as insults and humiliates part of the population.' It clarifies that it does not refer to a particular translation of the Quran, but to all its translations and claims that the books of the other religious traditions in Albania do not contain similar language. The Quran, according to the deposition, 'is a manual of guidelines given to a violently active minority of the population in order to achieve submission and control of the tolerant majority'. Kastriot Myftaraj had in other occasions glorified the massacre of Srebrenica, where more than 8000 Muslim men from Bosnia were executed by the Serbian military, and has called for ethnic cleansing of Muslims in the Balkans. Myftaraj has never been charged with hate speech. To the contrary, at times he is lauded as a valuable analyst by mainstream pundits and is often featured on various TV shows. "
2. An assault on a women wearing Hijab: " In the first week of August, a Muslim woman was physically attacked in a public bus by another woman who shouted at her, “You are terrorists.” The incident was reported in community media outlets. "
3. State sponsored promotion Christianity through demonisation of the Islamic Faith.

I am pretty disturbed and confused to say the least, especially considering that the country is a Muslim majority as mentioned previously. What do you guys take from this? What are your experience in the country as a practicing Muslim, If not atleast nominally Muslim?

Answering major concerns about Islam
Why should you read this?
Here I have tried to answer your chief concerns about Islam by collecting some resources that can lead you to a better understanding of Islam. I have introduced some scholars who, in my opinion, can help you a lot in eliminating your apprehensions.
-----
Wherever you are,
Dear Dr. Peterson,
From the rare good-yielding juggle of content on my Facebook feed, I was introduced to you. It was a clip from your interview with Cathy Newman. I had a certain gut-feeling that this guy feels smart. Embarking from that point, I have been pretty much mesmerized by your psychological adventures. As a Muslim, it was natural for me to be curious about your thoughts about Islam. Not unpredictably, I found you mostly a critic of Islam. But your philosophical and religious endeavors opened upon me that you belong to the infrequent class of truth seekers.
My assumption about you after watching your videos is that when you talk about Islam, you mean its traditional narrative and you haven’t introduced modern religious thoughts. And I don’t blame you for that as the reconstructed narrative isn’t much popular among Muslims themselves.
I am a Muslim from Pakistan and two years back I was in large skeptical about Islam. Most of the things just didn’t make sense. Then, I was introduced to Mr. Javed Ahmed Ghamidi. Watching his videos on youtube, mostly in Urdu, I was just mesmerized by the unimaginable order and appeal in Islam. Until now, I have read a lot of his writings and have watched dozens of his lectures. I have tried to collect all necessary sources that can address your doubts and can, possibly, alter your opinion about Islam.

Introduction to Javed Ahmed Ghamidi and Farahi School of Thought

In the past few centuries after losing power in the world, Islam has encountered a whole lot of challenges. Whereas an extremist reaction to it was largely observed, many scholars have tried to answer these questions in the light of the Quran and Sunnah. Farahi School of Thought has been one of the most prominent schools of thought in doing so.
Here’s a comprehensive introduction to it:

Books by Javed Ahmed Ghamidi

Javed Ahmed Ghamidi has summarized his findings and that of his predecessors about Islam in his books Mizan. Here’s an introductory article to it:

Religion vs Religious Thought

The first thing to restate before starting is understanding the difference between the following:

• The religion of Islam: The divine guidance bestowed upon mankind ever since he is on the planet. The last manifestation of this guidance is the Quran revealed to Muhammad(SAW).
• Religious Thought: Human interpretation of the divine guidance.

As religious thought is a humanly work, it is susceptible to errors and mistakes. The wide-believed religious thought of Islam has some basic errors that need to be addressed.

Main Concerns

• Was Muhammad(SAW) a Warlord?
• What is Explanation for Rapid Expansion of Islamic State after Muhammad(SAW)

Firstly, a bible reader knows that after Abraham(AS) God’s scheme of Prophethood took a turn. The prophethood was confined to the progeny of Abraham. This article discusses God’s Scheme of Prophethood in detail:
Verdicts of God | Javed Ahmed Ghamidi
For several centuries, prophethood was confined to Israelites but when they rejected Jesus as the messenger of God, they were deprived of this rank. The responsibility was shifted to another branch of the progeny of Abraham: Ishmaelites or Arabs. This was not an unprecedented step but was mentioned in the Old and New Testament. In the following book by Abdul Sattar Ghauri, you can analyze it in detail:
Muhammad Foretold in The Bible - Abdus Sattar Ghauri
Secondly, you need to understand, principally, Muhammad(SAW) was a rasool(messenger).
Every rasool is a nabi(prophet) but every prophet is not a rasool. Here Mr. Ghamidi explains the difference between both:
Difference between Nabi and Rasool -
Prophets are personalities whom the Almighty reveals divine
guidance so that they can guide people. However, not every prophet is a messenger. Messengerhood is a position bestowed to only some prophets. According to its details furnished by the Qur’an, a rasul decides the fate of his addressees and implements the judgement of God on them in this very world. The Qur’an informs us that this final phase in the preaching endeavour of a rasul comes after it passes through the phases of:
-> indhar [warning],
-> indhar-i ‘am [common, augmented and pronounced warning],
-> itmam al-hujjah [Conclusive conveyance of truth, communicating the truth to the extent that no one among its addressees is left with an excuse to deny it.] and,
-> hijrah wa bara’ah [Migration and acquittal]. It is in this phase that the divine court of justice is set up on this earth. Punishment is meted out to the rejecters of the truth and those who have accepted it are rewarded, and, in this way, a miniature Day of Judgement is witnessed on the face of the earth.
- Adapted from Meezan by Javed Ahmad Ghamidi, Principles of interpretation of Quran, section vii - Subject-Matter of the Qur’an
For a detailed account:
Itmam al-Hujjah [1] of God's Messengers | Javed Ahmad Ghamidi
With communicating God’s message to his nation in a way that will make the truth undeniable for them, a rasool is also responsible for inflicting God’s punishment on those who reject God’s message. This punishment can be inflicted in two ways:

1. If the Prophet doesn’t have sizable followership and a place to migrate, God’s judgment is implemented by some kind of disaster e.g. cyclones, floods, etc. such as in the case of Noah, Lut, Salih, etc.
2. If the Prophet has sizable followership and finds a place to migrate, God’s judgment is inflicted by the hands of the followers. It was the case for Moses, Muhammad, and some other messengers.

As Jesus didn’t get political leadership of any sort, he didn’t have to go to war (or he wasn’t a warlord in your say). As the jews weren’t polytheistic, the punishment was inflicted not as mass killing but as eternal subjugation to the followers of Jesus.
As Muhammad(SAW) had sizable followership, and he also found a place to migrate, God’s punishment on Arabian Polytheists was inflicted by the hands of the companions of Muhammad.

Why were nations other than Arabs punished?

As already said, the responsibility of preaching God’s religion was transferred to the Ishmaelites. It was necessary to provide an area where from Islam could be spread to the whole of the world. As Palestine was attributed to Jews, the Arabian peninsula(called Hejaz) was attributed to Arabs to spread the message of God from it. Therefore, people of other religions were eradicated from Hejaz and their worship places were diminished.
It was necessary for the land of Hejaz to be able to spread the message of God openly and for it, it needed to be secured from the imminency of outside attacks. For this, the prophet Muhammad(SAW) sent messengers to the heads of states of all surrounding states to accept Islam. Itmam al Hujjah was performed on them this way.
Here the fact is to be clarified that Itman al Hujjah on the states surrounding Hejaz wasn’t done merely by sending letters. Muhammad(SAW) sent the letters four years before his death. It is no neglectable fact that God’s messenger(having direct contact with God) is present on the planet. There were clear signs that Muhammad(SAW) was the prophet of God. For details see:
Belief in the Prophets | Javed Ahmad Ghamidi
Also, They have the opportunity to clarify any doubts and questions they have for four years.
Therefore, in the Quran, it was ordered that all states and governments surrounding the Hejaz who haven’t accepted Islam would be subservient to the Islamic state in Hejaz. For this, the Jizya was asked to be paid by the surrounding states. Wars were waged against states that didn’t pledge subservience to the Islamic state.
This is the whole story. Muhammad wasn’t a warlord like Genghis Khan trying to expand his empire but the last prophet of God taking necessary steps to determine the security of the Islamic state in Hejaz. So that Islam could be spread to other regions of the world with peace.
It was God’s help that accounted for such an unbelievable expansion. Also, the places which were conquered by the Khulafa-e-Rashedeen still have the majority of Muslims.
Jihad is not allowed to Muslims other than the reasons to stop religious persecution and that also has to be done at a state level.
It is a fact that other than Hejaz and its surrounding places, Islam wasn’t spread by wars but by scholars. You can take the example of Central and South Asia. If any Muslim state waged war against any state other than those surrounding Hejaz, it mainly had two reasons:

• To stop religious persecution in those states.
• Or they have taken the step independently not holding up with the orders of the Quran(it is no deniable fact that the concept of protected state borders has come into existence only a century ago.

Before it was the concept of kingdoms. Aligned with it were many Islamic kingdoms.)

What would have happened if this hadn’t been done?

If the steps for securing Hejaz hadn’t been taken, great Roman and Persian empires would have wiped out Islam completely. Also, the message of Islam wouldn’t have reached such great a number of people. For a more detailed analysis see:
WAR AND JIHAD IN ISLAM - Dr Muhammad Farooq Khan

The Cause behind Islamic Terrorism? Its Solution

The root cause of Islamic terrorism is interpreting this aforementioned expansion as the start of a worldwide enlargement. Instead of considering the orders regarding these attacks specified to the areas where Itmam al Hujjah was performed by the prophet, they were interpreted as for the whole world.
The following article contains a detailed account of what the traditional narrative was and what counter-narrative has been laid forward:
Islam and the State: A Counter Narrative | Javed Ahmad Ghamidi
I also highly recommend you to go through the following series of lectures. They are in Urdu with English subtitles but I can say that they will be worth your time. It contains a detailed analysis of traditional narrative or traditional Islamic thought and discusses in detail the counter-narrative to it. The first few lectures sum up the scholarly history of Islamic thought. The next 11 lectures consist of detailed arguments for the counter-narrative. It will fairly increase your knowledge about Islam which you are deprived of for the reasons of not knowing Arabic, Urdu, and Farsi. Also, it will prove to you that, in its pure form, Islam is not a totalitarian system.

Does anyone have a hint as to where i can get an original text of quran online? I would just google it but i wouldn’t be able to tell the authentic text from the non authentic ones. Like maybe in a pdf format or something like that. And how many holy islamic texts are there? Like is the quran enough to learn about the religion or will i have to read ijma and qiyas as well?

This is an article on what I have observed in official Jamaat discourse, as well as Ahmadi apologists arguments, with regards to gender roles. I believe that there has been a shift in the way Ahmadis talk about gender roles, particularly when it comes to the issue of women obeying their husbands. This shift is a real one, in the sense that it represents an actual change of the Jamaat's position towards gender roles. But at the same time, even if this shift is real, it is still a hollow one, given the institutions of Jamaat have already institutionalised the older paradigm of gender roles.
What is the Husband-is-MasteObedient-is-wife Paradigm?
In his excellent book "The Things We Think But Are Too Afraid To Say", u/ReasonOnFaith argues that there exists in Islamic literature, and confirmed in Islam Ahmadiyya, a misogynistic view of gender relations. He refers to this as the "Husband-is-MasteObedient-is-Wife" paradigm (Obedience Paradigm from now on). Essentially, there is a significant body of literature which emphasises the role of the husband as the "guardian" or "master" of women, who are admonished to be obedient to their husbands for their own good.
The prime example, and perhaps the origin of this view is 4:35 of the Quran. The Ahmadi translation reads:
Men are guardians over women because Allah has made some of them excel others, and because they (men) spend of their wealth. So virtuous women are those who are obedient\, and guard the secrets of their husbands with Allah’s protection\. And as for those on whose part you fear disobedience, admonish them and leave them alone in their beds, and chastise them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Surely, Allah is High, Great.
Here are a few other examples of the Obedience Paradigm:

1. Abu Hurairah relates that the Holy Prophet said: Had I ordained that a person should prostrate himself before another, I would have commanded that a wife should prostrate herself before her husband (Tirmidhi). Found in Gardens of the Righteous , an official Jamaat compilation of Hadith, edited by Sir Chaudhry Muhammad Zafrullah, famous Sahabi of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad.
2. "It is obligatory for a woman to obey her husband. The Holy Prophet ^SAW has said that if a husband tells his wife to place a large pile of bricks from one place to another and then after she is done tells her to put them back in their original place, even then a woman should not raise a voice and should obey him" Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Malfuzat, Volume 5, Page 30. Available here
3. "The wife's second duty is that she should be obedient to and co-operative with her husband and give him the respect due to him as willed by Allah and His Prophet (s.a.w.). If the wife obeys her husband willingly and gracefully, she shall make her home a paradise on earth. Peace and contentment shall reign there and the husband of such a dutiful wife is bound to hold her in great esteem. Many wives do not consider it necessary to be docile and obedience to their husbands and insist on imposing their own wishes on them and want their husband to play the second fiddle. This is not correct. A good wife must obey her husband" Islam on Marital Rights, by Maulana Sheikh Mubarak Ahmad, published in 1988 (originally delivered as a speech in 1969 Rabwah Jalsa Salana)
4. Under the heading "Wife's Ideal Qualities", "the wife must not go out of the house without the permission of her husband" is listed. Also from Islam on Marital Rights.
5. Under the heading "How to take care of the emotional needs of your husband?" the following hadith is written "Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ^SAW said, 'If a husband calls his wife to his bed and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning' Bukhari 3237" Jamaat Ahmadiyya USA Marital Harmony Guide
6. "One marvels at the modern man who insists on the equality of sexes and asserts that men and women have equal rights. Let these people raise armies of women and send them into battle and see the result for themselves. How would a pregnant women discharge her duties in the battlefield? In short, women have fewer and weaker faculties than men. Men should, therefore, keep them under their care" Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, Malufzat volume 7 pp. 133-134, available in Essence of Islam Volume 3 p.324.

The above quotes all portray the idea that men and women have a certain kind of relationship. Men are the masteguardian, and women must obey them. This is explicit idea that men and women are not only different, but man is dominant in his position as guardian over women.
What is the Separate but Equal Paradigm?
The Obedience Paradigm is slowly being shifted away from in Jamaat's literature. Despite the existence of Jamaati material supporting it, more recent Jamaat literature shies away from it. For example the article "Gender Equality in Islam" on Alislam, has no mention of obedience, despite addressing the objection that Islam Ahmadiyyat treats women unequally. Instead, the article forwards the view that men and women have different strengths and weaknesses, and as such, different roles in society. In recognising these differences, Islam supposedly provides the "best" form of equality. The man is the breadwinner, and the woman is the mothewife.
This is just one example, but I think many of us have recognised this in online debates about these issues. Rather than emphasise the idea that women must obey their husbands, Ahmadis explain gender roles are "different" but not unequal in any way.
I assume that this shift has occurred as a result of people raising the objection of Islam's unequal treatment of women. Especially in the Western context, the idea that women must be obedience is one that is not taken well. Instead, by arguing that men and women are different, but equal, Ahmadis position themselves as an alternative to naive equality between the sexes. The idea of "obedience" would shatter this Separate but Equal facade.
Why does this matter?
Some would argue that is is a good thing that Jamaat is now more enlightened and does not propagate the idea of obedience anymore. In fact, I think that this change probably reflects the actual relationships that many Ahmadi couples have in the West. The idea of a "docile" wife obeying her husband would be laughed at by most western Ahmadis.
There are some issues however:
a. While the Obedience Paradigm is no longer as actively propagated, it still exists in the Jamaat literature, and thus continues to provide a source of religious sanction for men to force their wives to obey their every word.
b. The principle underlying both the Obedience Paradigm and the Separate but Equal paradigm, is that they both have a view of gender roles as fixed. Nothing has changed in regards to the role of men and women in society. For example:

1. Women cannot vote in Jamaat Shura
2. Women cannot marry without a Male guardian
3. Women cannot take any Jamaat position (apart from Lajna, an auxiliary, NOT the central Jamaat organisation)
4. Women cannot divorce without male permission
5. Men can still have the power to "physically chastise" their wives.

c. Related to point B, men are still considered to be the "breadwinner", while women act as the "mother." By giving man the financial power over the wife, you create a power imbalance, whereby women are financially dependent on men. This relationship, while presented as loving and kind, is ripe for abuse if the man is not kind and moral as Jamaat wants him to be. There are so many quotes where men are told to be loving towards their wives, and to treat them well. And while this is a good thing, it fundamentally misunderstands that the category of relationship between man and woman, that of breadwinner and the dependent, is open for abuse. No amount of preaching to men about treating their wives kindly is going to counterbalance this fundamental power imbalance.
In conclusion, the Separate But Equal paradigm is a sanitisation of a fundamentally unequal relationship. While women are no longer are told to obey their husbands (at least not as openly), they nonetheless are completely dependent on men in their role as "mothers", in relation to the "breadwinners."

Disclaimer: Following is just my opinion not an absolute guide, and I'm passing on what I helped me and some of my friends. Take it, leave what you want, pick what works for you, mix it the way it works for you.
-
Hope, this finds you well.
I identify myself as agnostic (as defined by Adolph Huxley), I'm reading Quran (~80% done), though it might change my mind to revert back to Islam, it did the opposite. So like a lot of people I have often felt in my own life, and seen many people too searching for resources to navigate post-religion life, especially in a psychological and spiritual sense.
Here's a set of tools, ideas, suggestions that helped me and those I know, hoping it might be of help to you.
I'm gonna categorize them on basis of the area of life they deal with.
I hope this set of suggestions gives you even just one thing that helps you to live a more fulfilling, meaningful, authentic, and healthy life in all sense.

1.Health

1.1. Mental health (+emotioanl well being+secular spirituality)

This is the most important area when it comes to any time of your life, quality of your mental health would directly influence every experience you have consciously.
People, when they lose faith undergo grief stages (as described in Kübler-Ross Model), the second last of which is depression, some people even have their anxieties triggered too and have hard timing managing them.
Here's an excellent essay by Mark Manson on dealing with loss, and creating new sources of meaning, and new identities: How To Let Go
-
1.1.1. Mindfulness meditation
If there's one tool that can give you the most mental and emotional stability as well help you to be ground at the moment to navigate all this thing, it's mindfulness meditation.
I can't emphasize enough, how much it affects your brain positively, and the benefits it provides.
90% of my depression was gone by this it has helped me sleep better, and many of my friends (even those who had trauma history e.g. sexual abuse) too. The practice of mindfulness has helped me to increase my self-compassion levels to high.
Here is how it helped Azad88:

OP introduced Waking up app to me which is the primare source I've been using to deal with my depression... I've personally used it to learn how to meditate and relax, I often mediate every morning and have been using it for the past 7 months. Admittedly I haven't used it every day but I would say I have seen the way I approach the world and see myself. It has helped me to let go of events that are out of my control and taught me my place in the world. Its a strange feeling of discovering your true self just by meditating.
I've also learnt to stop the constant negative thinking that I often found myself due to years of struggling with Islam and Ahmadiyyat, the constant anxiety and depression led me to years of problems which I can say with confidence now that have almost passed. I feel happier just by the way I think and see the world.

Here's what mint_and_tint's experience:

I’m practicing mindfulness meditation for some time now and it has helped me a lot coping my anxiety and depression. It has significantly helped me with my sleep difficulties (sometimes falling asleep, other times staying/going back to sleep). My physical and emotional anxiety symptoms (overwhelming sadness, irritability, self doubt, fatigue, sweating, trembling etc) are almost gone. It has given me a sense of calm and inner peace. Sometimes it’s hard to believe how ten to twenty minutes of meditation can leave one invigorated and serene.

There is research on how mindfulness helps with PTSD. It helps with insomnia - had a friend who was sleeping about 2 hours daily, but on her first day of meditation, she slept 9 hours and around the same hours in the next few days. It helps with emotional stability, and emotional regulation, my emotional stability from low (around 25 last year) to 95 a few days ago (very high) with the practice.
I recommend using the Waking Up app of Sam Harris for this.

1. Install app. Open practice tab (Intro course).
2. Set on couch/chair and put hands on legs with an erect spine.
3. Follow Sam Harris what he says during the session.

If you like the app and it's helping you, and aren't in a position to afford it, drop them an email, Waking Up team gives you a free 1-year subscription too - just tell them you like the app but not in a position financially to afford it.
It not only improves your mental and emotional well being but helps you tap into spirituality too (awareness of your ego) - you begin to be more self-aware from regular practice about your ego helping you break old patterns, you also begin to see what you were calling you wasn't you (the illusion of Self).
To make a consistent habit of mindfulness-meditation, I suggest using a habit tracker like this in Bullet Journal: Super Simple Habit Tracker
If you wanna track in your phone, there are tons of free apps like HabitBull to help you create daily consistency of practice.

1.1.2. 5 books for dealing with depression and anxiety.
Here're 5 books I recommend for dealing with depression and anxiety. I'll put a link to them in the end, you can download from my Drive-in soft form. [1]
i. FEELING GOOD: THE NEW MOOD THERAPY BY DAVID BURNS
Burns has done a fantastic job of essentially writing the closest replacement to a real therapist, and as a result, pretty much any time I come across someone who needs a therapist but can’t get one for some reason, this book is the instant-recommendation.
Helps you conduct complete cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, anxiety, anger, guilt, etc. These books helped so much too until I came across Waking Up.
ii. THE NOONDAY DEMON: AN ATLAS OF DEPRESSION BY ANDREW SOLOMON
iii. FIRST, WE MAKE THE BEAST BEAUTIFUL BY SARAH WILSON
iv. THE HAPPINESS TRAP: HOW TO STOP STRUGGLING AND START LIVING BY RUSS HARRIS
v. SELF-COMPASSION: THE PROVEN POWER OF BEING KIND TO YOURSELF BY KRISTIN NEFF

i. The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Traumaby Bessel A. van der Kolk
In the book van der Kolk creates an "understanding of traumatic stress, revealing how it literally rearranges the brain’s wiring—specifically areas dedicated to pleasure, engagement, control, and trust. He shows how these areas can be reactivated through innovative treatments including neurofeedback, mindfulness techniques, play, yoga, and other therapies".
ii. Healing from Trauma: A Survivor's Guide to Understanding Your Symptoms and Reclaiming Your Life by Jasmin Lee Cori
In the book, Jasmin Lee Cori helps you: Understand trauma and its devastating impacts; Identify symptoms of trauma (dissociation, numbing, etc.) and common mental health problems that stem from trauma; Manage traumatic reactions and memories; Create a more balanced life that supports your recovery; Choose appropriate interventions (therapies, self-help groups, medications, and alternatives); Recognize how far you've come in your healing and what you need to keep growing.
iii. The Sexual Healing Journey: A Guide for Survivors of Sexual Abuse by Wendy Maltz
This book "helps survivors understand the changes that happen after abuse occurs and move towards healing).
iv. Recovery of your inner child by Lucia Capacchione
A beautiful starting point for anyone who wants to connect with and heal their inner child.
v. The Journey from Abandonment to Healing by Susan Anderson
A lifeline to anyone struggling to let go during a painful or abrupt breakup or divorce.

-
1.1.4. Journaling
You can journal out too, there is tons and tons of research how therapeutic and cathartic journaling out problems, thoughts and feelings is.
Don't try to write make paragraphs, write in points and sub-points, then you on a seprate page you can extend a certain point in paragraph if that helps.
Here's are some journaling prompts: https://psychcentral.com/blog/30-journaling-prompts-for-self-reflection-and-self-discovery/
-
Here's a brilliant blog on Bullet Journal's site, on how that person his Bullet Journal to slay his depression: Slaying Depression Bullet Journal

1.1.5. Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion
-
1.1.6. More mental health resources
Here's are some IG accounts to follow for psychological and emotional well being:
Holistic psychologist
Seerut K. Chawla

-
- Here are some YT channels for mental health.
- How to ADHD
- Katie Morton
-The Psych Show Channel
- Julia Kristina Counseling Channel
- Dara Hoffman-Fox Channel
-The Survivor's Guide To Life’s channel
- The Shame Proof Parenting Channel
-

1.2 Physical health

This can be boiled down to 2 things: move your body and eat healthy to nourish it.
- For working out at home I highly recommend apps like 30 Days Fitness Challenge which guide you through every exercise every day (with animations) and keep increasing difficulty level.
- For eating health, read this:
Healthy Eating: The Beginner’s Guide on How to Eat Healthy and Stick to It
THE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH DIET
Also, check out Healthline for more resources on this.

2. Personal Development

2.1. Designing present and future life

This is the second most important area of your life.
If you can afford, check out Self Authoring Suite (costs $30). It's a set of journaling exercises, to help you learn from the past, navigate the present and design the vision and plan for the future you would love to live.
-
Ultimate Edge Program is Tonny Robbins' personal development program designed to coach you in different areas of your life (finding a compatible partner, financial freedom, career goal-setting, etc.) as well as give you tools/strategies to design the life you love.
It costs $249, I guess, but if you aren't in a position to do so, check out this workbook [3] of the program which summarizes the whole program and provides the exercise sheets of the program.
-
Another resource is Bullet Journal by Ryder Carroll (book), the book's subtitle says: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future. I think that says it all, what the whole book is about.
The book not only goes into all of this but gives you a system (methodology) for setting meaningful goals as well as tracking, achieving and reflecting on them. The methodology is incredibly minimalist and customize-able to your personal or professional needs.
Bullet Journal methodology serves as my primary life management, and designing system - I have an analog version of it, and a digital version of it in Notion app.
I have ADHD too like the creator of BuJo, it has helped me a ton to create a focus in my life, regularly reflect, and stay organized in pretty much every area of my life - in short in staying organized and managing my ADHD.
Happy Bullet Journaling.

4. Career navigation

4.1. Natural inclinations
​
4.2. Best career aptitude test
www.careerexplorer.com › career-test ​
4.3. Books' recommendations.
​
4.4. More resources
One of the most important areas of fulfillment, meaning, and self-transformation is work. And if you're not in the line of a compatible career path, you'll try to escape those work hours, and try to find pleasure outside which in long term would only leave you empty. If success and money come, they won't last in long run. It's really important to be in line with the career path you're compatible with, and actively cultivating skills in it, and seeking new challenges.
Here's a great TEDx talk of Robert Greene talked about these ideas (primal inclinations and self-transformation via work): The key to transforming yourself
So, having realized the importance of a compatible career and taking the path of Mastery. Here's the most accurate career aptitude on the Internet (I have tried many, and have looked at so many tests' methodologies), I recommend this one: https://www.careerexplorer.com/career-test/

1. Take the test and identify 1-3 career suggestions you are most curious about as well as degrees' suggestions. If you have 2-3 interests, decide which one would be primary and which one secondary etc. and how you would do time-blocking weekly to cultivate them.
2. Create an RPM plan for cultivating skills in those areas/areas via offline or online resources, degrees, etc.
3. Build your portfolio or equivalent of it, and start working in the path/paths you chose.

I originally posted this in islam_ahmadiyya, I'm posting it here too, as it might be of help to anyone of you. Happy reading.
-
Disclaimer: Following is just my opinion not an absolute guide, and I'm passing on what I helped me and some of my friends. Take it, leave what you want, pick what works for you, mix it the way it works for you.
-
Hope, this finds you well.
I identify myself as agnostic (as defined by Adolph Huxley), I'm reading Quran (~80% done), thought it might change my mind to revert back to Islam, it did the opposite. So a like a lot of people I have often felt in my own life, and seen many people too searching for resources to navigate post-religion life especially in psychological and spiritual sense.
Here's a set of tools, ideas, suggestions that helped me and those I know, hoping it might be of help to you.
I'm gonna categorize them on basis of area of life they deal with.
I hope this set of suggestions gives you even just one thing that helps you to live more fulfilling, meaningful, authentic, and healthy life in all sense.

Health

Mental health and spirituality
This is the most important area when it comes to any time of your life, quality of your mental health would directly influence every experience you have consciously.
People, when they lose faith undergo grief stages (as described in Kübler-Ross Model), second last of which is depression, some people even have their anxieties triggered too and have hard timing managing them.
If there's one tool that can give you most mental and emotional stability as well help you to be ground in moment to navigate all this thing, it's mindfulness meditation.
I can't emphasize enough, how much it affects your brain positively, and benefits it provides.
90% of my depression was gone by this it has helped me sleep better, and many of friends (even those who had trauma history e.g. sexual abuse) too. Practice of mindfulness has helped me to increase my self compassion levels to high. Azad88 can testify it too, I suggested him too, it helped him ton.
There is research on how mindfulness helps with PTSD. It helps with insomnia - had friend who was sleeping about 2 hours daily, but on her first day of meditation she slept 9 hours and around same hours in next few days. It helps with emotional stability, and emotional regulation, my emotional stability from low (around 25 last year) to 95 few days ago (very high) with the practice.
I recommend using Waking Up app of Sam Harris for this.

1. Install app. Open practice tab (Intro course).
2. Set on couch/chair and put hands on legs with erect spine.
3. Follow Sam Harris what he says during session.

If you like app and it's helping you, and aren't in position to afford it, drop them an email, Waking Up team gives you free 1 year subscription too - just tell them you like app but not in position financially to afford it.
It not only improves your mental and emotional well being, but helps you tap into spirituality too (awareness of your ego) - you begin to be more self aware from regular practice about your ego helping you break old patterns, you also begin to see what you were calling you wasn't you (illusion of Self).
To make consistent habit of mindfulness-meditation, I suggest using a habit tracker like this in Bullet Journal: Super Simple Habit Tracker
If you wanna track in your phone, there are tons of free apps like HabitBull to help you create daily consistency of practice.
-
You can journal out too, there is tons and tons of research how therapeutic and cathartic journaling out problems, thoughts and feelings is.
Don't try to write make paragraphs, write in points and sub-points, then you on a separate page you can extend a certain point in paragraph if that helps.
Here's are some journaling prompts: https://psychcentral.com/blog/30-journaling-prompts-for-self-reflection-and-self-discovery/
-
Here's a brilliant blog on Bullet Journal's site, on how that person his Bullet Jouranal to slay his depression: Slaying Depression Bullet Journal
-
Here're 5 books I recommend for dealing with depression and anxiety. I'll put link to them in the end, you can download from my Drive in soft form. [1]

1. FEELING GOOD: THE NEW MOOD THERAPY BY DAVID BURNS

Here's what Mark Manson says about it: Burns has done a fantastic job of essentially writing the closest replacement to a real therapist, and as a result, pretty much any time I come across someone who needs a therapist but can’t get one for some reason, this book is the insta-recommendation.
Helps you conduct complete cognitive behavioral therapy for depression, anxiety, anger, guilt etc. This books helped so much too until I came across Waking Up.

1. THE NOONDAY DEMON: AN ATLAS OF DEPRESSION BY ANDREW SOLOMON
   
2. FIRST, WE MAKE THE BEAST BEAUTIFUL BY SARAH WILSON
   
3. THE HAPPINESS TRAP: HOW TO STOP STRUGGLING AND START LIVING BY RUSS HARRIS
   
4. SELF-COMPASSION: THE PROVEN POWER OF BEING KIND TO YOURSELF BY KRISTIN NEFF
   

-
Here's an excellent essay by Mark Manson on dealing with loss, and creating new sources of meaning, and new identities: How To Let Go
-
Here's are some IG accounts to follow for psychological and emotional well being:
Holistic psychologist
Seerut K. Chawla
Positive psychology
-
- Here are some YT channels for mental health.
- How to ADHD
- Katie Morton
-The Psych Show Channel
- Julia Kristina Counseling Channel
- Dara Hoffman-Fox Channel
-The Survivor's Guide To Life’s channel
- The Shame Proof Parenting Channel
-
Physical health
This can be boiled down to 2 things: move your body and eat healthy to nourish it.
- For working out at home I highly recommend apps like 30 Days Fitness Challenge which guide you through every exercise every day (with animations) and keep increasing difficulty level.
- For eating health, read this:
Healthy Eating: The Beginner’s Guide on How to Eat Healthy and Stick to It
THE SUSTAINABLE HEALTH DIET
Also check out Healthline for more resources on this.

Designing present and future life

This is the second most important area of your life.
If you can afford, check out Self Authoring Suite (costs $30). It's a set of journaling exercises, to help you learn from past, navigate present and design the vision and plan for future you would love to live.
-
Ultimate Edge Program is Tonny Robbins' personal development program designed to coach you in different areas of your life (finding compatible partner, financial freedom, career goal setting etc.) as well as give you tools/strategies to design the life you love.
It costs $249, I guess, but you if you aren't in position to do so, check out this workbook [3] of program which summarizes the whole program and provides the exercises sheets of the program.
-
Another resource is Bullet Journal by Ryder Carroll (book), the book's subtitle says: Track the Past, Order the Present, Design the Future. I think that says it all, what the whole book is about.
The book not only goes into all of this, but gives you system (methodology) for setting meaningful goals as well tracking, achieving and reflecting on them. Methodology is incredibly minimalist and customize-able to your personal or professional needs.
Bullet Journal methodology serves as my primary life management, and designing system - I have an analog version of it, and a digital version of it in Notion app.
I have ADHD too like creator of BuJo, it has helped me ton to create focus in my life, regularly reflect and stay organized in pretty much every area of my life - in short in staying organized and managing my ADHD.
Happy Bullet Journaling.
-
Here's are some essays from James Clear and Mark Manson to further help you bring order to your present and design your future:
