An Alig's Armchair: FaceBook Experience
http://maripat2aligarh.blogspot.com/2014/02/facebook-experience.html
An Aligarh Movement Footnote. Thursday, February 27, 2014. Because of a compelling reason yours truly ended up at FaceBook. And yours truly is feeling very awkward. Being a private person it was never an ambition to be there. And then yours truly never expected to know many people there. That turned out to be wrong. There are hoards of people there whom yours truly recognizes. The truth of the matter is that yours truly can not deal with so many people. People beautiful in worldly sense. If you recognize...

An Alig's Armchair: On Existential Crisis
http://maripat2aligarh.blogspot.com/2015/03/on-existential-crisis.html
An Aligarh Movement Footnote. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. I shall begin with the Islamic solution to existentialist crisis. Supplication is an essential part of Islam. Wise people have told us that we should start by supplicating first of all for ourselves then the closest people to us and then move on to near and dear ones and then neighbours and local society and then to global Muslim Ummah and the world in general. And therein lies the solution to the existentialist problems. Midlife crisis, seven year...

An Aligarh Movement Footnote. Friday, May 8, 2015. Revival of Muslim Ummah.

An Alig's Armchair: Salafism of Nasiruddin Albani
http://maripat2aligarh.blogspot.com/2015/07/salafism-of-nasiruddin-albani.html
An Aligarh Movement Footnote. Saturday, July 4, 2015. Salafism of Nasiruddin Albani. Allah (SWT) says in the Noble Qur'an that people who take heed of divine revelation are few. What about the rest? Well they find it boring. Then there are people who can make it interesting. For the masses by making fun of traditional figures, arguments and approaches. By ridiculing them. There are many streams of thought along these lines and salafism is the broadest of these. In fact every salafi is a sect unto himself.
