What do you guys think about this part of the Islamic golden age.

I would like to talk about things related to the Islamic golden age.

First, the great translation period that started after the fall of Toledo to the Spanish, Toledo's school of translations. When Toledo fell in 1085, after some years the Spanish started a great translation period, that started by the hands of, Archbishop Raymond of Toledo, he created the working group of translators that would later be known as the Toledo School of Translators. this man after doing research on him, seems to recognise that the Christian West was intellectually paralyzed without access to the vast scientific and philosophical traditions preserved, invented and upgraded in the Arabic scripts by Muslim scholars.

they took thousands of Arabic scripts from Toledo's library's and translated it to Latin, they continued to translate Arabic scripts as many Muslim cities continued to fall in Spain, until Western Europe absorbed the core of Arabic scientific, mathematical, and philosophical knowledge. So it's safe to say that the Islamic golden age is the back bone of most if not all knowledge today and if it weren't for Muslims, Europeans would have never been able to be so advanced.

Little to no credibility is given to our golden age that gave the world the backbone of most of today's modern technology. If you ask them today, they will say it was Greek, Chinese and Roman books primarily translated to Arabic, what they failed to understand and seem to ignore is some books was really translated from those languages but the Islamic golden age did much more than just translate ancient Greek, Chinese, and Roman texts.
Muslim Scholars built upon those early ideas, made new discoveries, and advanced science and math significantly over hundreds of years before European scholars translated them from Arabic . It’s like a person study’s for so long and in the end a guy comes take his studies and translate it, benefit from it and gives no credit to the guy who made the study, then he looks down on the guy who made the study in the first place.

Go look this stuff up if you don’t believe me, either you like it or not, Europe is nothing without the Islamic golden age that happened in Baghdad and Spain, even King Charles said it 30 years ago I think.

That being said, I don’t think that this was the sole reason of the Muslim world being not as advanced as Europe. I think that you guys should read more about the ottomans banning the printing press in the year 1515 until the 1700s . Because the Muslim world despite the poplar belief was as advanced and even somewhat more advanced than Europe in the late 1400s despite the destruction of Baghdad in the 1200s. Until the printing press came and Europe started printing like crazy and it was a million times cheaper, faster to buy and spread books which made the population learn and be productive in every thing, because of that thousands of people contributed to up lift the society in every way after the printing press.

Unlike the Muslim world, which was robbed of the right to have the printing press because of the ban of the printing press by the ottomans, under the pretext of, being scared of vandalism done to the Quran. And this is a very weak point because it’s simple, don’t allow anyone to print the Quran using the printing press and make sure to print science and knowledge books by the thousands funded and protected by the government for the population to learn, instead of building so many military branches everywhere and in the end cussing other nations to surpass us.

Because no one could print or afford to print thousands copies of the Quran unless it’s funded and protected by the government, that’s why it’s a dumb excuse from them. I think it’s more likely that the sultan didn’t want to rule over a smart and educated nation which becomes so dangerous to rule and could overthrow him and instead wanted to rule over uneducated people, that’s so selfish and made us suffer in the long run until today. in the end that back fired on the ottomans, I also only blame the ruling ottoman elites and everyone who contributed and backed the banning of the printing press including the sultan and any one who supports the idea of it back then.

Please my brothers don’t let anyone fool you into believing that we are a backward nation, there are reasons and I think there is hope today and we are becoming advanced and self dependent and learning from our mistakes actually.

Guys this way is very effective.

Porn addiction and ejaculating always. you may think it’s porn, but the main problem is, the smart device that you use to access all the filthy stuff. Take the opportunity, whenever you get a vacation or if you are unemployed and especially people who have summer vacation to give up all your smart devisees and do a complete dopamine detox.

You also have to make sure that your smart devisees are unreachable, no matter what. If you do that you will beat porn easily and be on semen retention. after at least 30 to 35 days, (35 days is better) go back to your smart devices after this period and use them in a healthy way, if you ask me. My opinion is don’t go back to your smartphone and devisees for the whole vacation.

You must also know that, you have to build healthy habits and be so busy when you return to using your smartphone eventually and you have to use it in a healthy way. All your porn problem is from the smart device, you can’t beat porn, it’s simple. Make the device unreachable and see how easily you will get your life back.

Semen retention, fastest way.

If you want to achieve seamen retention, in the fastest way possible. Do a dopamine detox, take the opportunity in any vacation you have from college or work and do a dopamine detox, give up all your smart devices and give them someone you trust or keep them somewhere unreachable, use a dumb phone instead. you will easily reach 30 days of retention but you will be bored as hell in the beginning and that is a very good thing for your brain, start reading books and going after your goals, socialising will be much easier also a complete dopamine detox will be very good for you in many ways not only for semen retention. After a while, go back to using your smartphone in a healthy way and don’t go back to your old habits.

People at hotel buffets.

I’ve recently been traveling and I just wanted to say, some people especially at breakfast time in hotel buffets really stink, they come to the buffet so stinky and have the utter disregard to any one, it really turns my stomach and I have to stay for at least 5 minutes on the table before start eating my food to ease the disgust and the stranger thing is the hotels are from 4 to 5 stars, it’s not a bad hotel or anything, it’s just some people that don’t care at all.

You don’t have the patience to do the hard work for a couple of months, it all comes down to one thing.

If you are facing many problems in getting things done and are delaying everything, it’s most probably a dopamine problem. the right way and the fastest way to fix the problem from its core is to do a complete dopamine detox , which all comes down to your smartphone and smart devices. Give it up for one month, use only a dumb phone, make your smart device really unreachable. Reading books, socializing, making things done will really become much easier this way.

You are giving your brain free easy dopamine, 24/7 and then you are wondering why are you not getting things done, your brain will get things done for the dopamine, but when you are giving it ultimate dopamine always, why would it bother helping you to get the real hard to reach dopamine by doing the work that needs to be done when you are already giving it ultimate dopamine, that’s why you are in an invisible prison, that you don’t even know that you are in.

It’s really a shame because most of people’s problems are only a thing because of their bad ways in using smartphones and there problems would completely vanish if they did a dopamine detox. Then use a smartphone in a healthy way. It really doesn’t depend on your life bro, people have been living on these earth for thousands of years without any smartphones.

All your problems comes from your smart devices, including porn addiction if you are an addicted, in the end it’s the dopamine that is the bigger issue, that’s making you really unable to get things done, because you are chasing dopamine all day. fix it from its core and do a complete detox. It will really change your life. People are tricked thinking it’s this and that, it’s really your smart phone, if you give it up including any smart device you have for a month, use a dumb phone instead and make the smart devices impossible to reach, all your problems will be solved. You will really like going outside, reading books, socializing, it will really change your life a billion times for the better. people are not realizing that most of their problems only exist because of bad smartphone use and could fix it if they give it up for a while, then go back to using it in a healthy way.

Some people argue that, oh my life will stop for a month but it’s totally fine for them to destroy their lives on doom scrolling chasing dopamine for hours, then hours become years of your life, then you become old and have failed in life just because you was not willing to do a detox for a month, because you didn’t want to be out of touch for one month.

“You become what you practice”

As you read, what ever you practice you become. If you are nervous all the time, it’s because you practiced being nervous all the time, if you are horny all the time it’s most probably because you’ve been practicing it every day.

That’s why many porn addicts fail to stop porn, because they practice porn addiction so much and whenever they try to stop it they fail, because they are setting themselves for failure by practicing failure. For example, you are addicted to porn and you are on your second day on Nofap, then an urge hits and you were about to relaps but you didn’t, then after that unconsciously you start to freak out and tell yourself, oh my god that was just the first urge and I was about to relapse and you keep practicing that, that’s why eventually you fail. Because you are practicing failure and setting yourself up for failure every time.

That’s why practice success every minute, don’t wait for it, you must practice and practice every day. If you went through a ruff urge, don’t even think about it and practice not giving in. In my opinion it’s not about will power, it’s about what you practice every day and if you are busy or just bored all day, on top of that when sexual thoughts come you are practicing enjoying it every day instead of practicing not giving in, that’s why that way you will never stop porn.

You should practice success and dedication and discipline.

Most people wait for confidence before they act. The ones who change their lives act first and let confidence catch up. Same goes with porn addiction.

You must know also that, whenever a very strong urge hits you, that’s a sign that porn addiction is becoming weak and dying, don’t panic, it’s actually a great sign. Month one to three, porn urges may feel hard sometimes, months 3 to 6 it will be weak and easy to handle, after 6 months it will not even be there.

Why this drastic downgrade in fashion.

First of all, all of this art goes back to the Abbasid era.
Some from Abbasid history books other are from science books of that time, most if not all Arabs wore like this even children as you can see from the art.. No orientalist.

Why we Arabs have changed our dress code to the
worse, we used to wear garments and turbans with beautiful design and colors, now it all comes down to a white garment and a peace of cloth on top of the head with zero or unappealing designs. We really should have preserved our culture Like other nations did, instead of changing it for the worst.

What on earth is going on and why?

I’m a guy in my 20s and I actually want to ask a question about something that really, really confuses me.

I never understood this, when I’m in a mall or shopping or in a public space girls always don’t even look my way or when I catch them looking they immediately look away and always seem to walk in this arrogant way, but when in college I seem to get way more girl attention and had multiple relationships with attractive girls and one night stands. Could you guys explain the since.

Edit: Why are many of you guys so offended, I am just asking a question. It’s not personal, it just shows how low iq some of you guys are.

F@ck it all.

If I was a porn addicted still and couldn’t stop porn no matter how hard I tried, any time I get an urge and would relapse I would just destroy my phone and if I have a laptop I’m going to use it in good way and if I was about to relapse and use the laptop in a bad way I would also destroy the laptop, and will live without any smartphone or laptop until I beat porn. And for anyone who says that’s madness, destroying your phone is way better than absolutely destroying your life and becoming a weak unconfident cowered. I’d rather have a dumb phone and be brave.

You have to face your thoughts.

Its as simple as that, when negative thoughts bother you, don't try to escape or make it go away instead face the thoughts and don't talk with it, just don't ever run from it. this will feel worse at first because you are experiencing raw emotions and not trying to put them under a rug. but by time the thoughts will lose its power, because your brain learnt that you are not reacting to the thoughts. But if you do the opposite and try to make the thoughts go away, you will make them way worse, because you are reacting so much to them which will make your brain give you more and more of them and you will feel much worse. Face your thoughts, don't run from it and accept the emotions. The only way out of the blockade of the thoughts is through it. By doing this you will be way better at regulating your emotions. Because emotions are driven by thoughts.

I recently made this post and got downvoted, with out any explanation.

This is a repost, because I want to know why some people are downvoting the original post I made without any explanation. As an Arab myself I really get so angry and frustrated while reading some parts of our history and I'm going to give you three examples. Those traitors need to be well known.

Fall of seville, 1248.

Fall of Baghdad, 1258.

Fall of Baghdad. 2003.

When seville fell in 1248, the traitor Ibn al-Ahmar, Muhammad the first of Granada had helped King Ferdinand the third in the siege of the city for 16 months despite Seville being full of Arabs and Muslims like him, regardless if al Ahmar didn't agree politically with Seville leaders, he should have never betrayed his people.

Fall of Baghdad 1258, Muhammad ibn al-Alqami: The Grand Vizier of the last Abbasid Caliph, al-Musta'sim and Badr al-Din Lu'lu of mosul, those 2 made it so easy for the mongols to invade Baghdad, one was a traitor and the other gave the mongols many military and siege weapons and gave them directions and everything they wanted. On top of everything all the leaders from the Muslim world left Baghdad to its fate in 1258 instead of uniting against the mongols and destroying them like they did afterwards in ain jalut battle. Them letting the mongols destroy Baghdad set us 2000 years back.

last but not least, the fall of Baghdad for the 1000 time in 2003, I swear this city is always destined to fall, all Arab and Muslim leaders watched the American invade and destroy Iraq and Baghdad without doing anything and some Arab countries contributed and gave their land and their sky to the Americans, which was the main reason Baghdad fell. Just because they didn't like saddam Hussein, they betrayed all Iraqis for only one person. Just like when ibn al ahmar Muhammad the first of Granada had helped King Ferdinand to destroy seville. History always repeats itself. Then again all Arabs and Muslims left Baghdad to its fate, we left our brothers and their family to the Americans fate. It's really shameful and strange at the same time.

Edit: It's really funny how how some people down voted the original post but anyway, because no one will hate for no reason. I want to know the reason. it's really funny how they downvote the original post so much but have nothing to say, it just shows you that they don't like hearing the truth and can't say anything about it because they know it's the truth. say what you want instead of just downvoting and going away. I'm just asking a question about what really happened and some people are not liking it, i didn't make this stuff up. Go read it yourself.
