      Because he's speaking Farsi, a language of poetry.

      Yes, but with a lot of Arabic verses from the Koran.

      The obsession of Duolingo with apples is a little bit disturbing. I do not know if I'm learning, but I do know that I can talk about apples in: French, German and English!

              Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt.

              Der weiche Gang geschmeidig starker Schritte, der sich im allerkleinsten Kreise dreht, ist wie ein Tanz von Kraft um eine Mitte, in der betäubt ein großer Wille steht.

              Nur manchmal schiebt der Vorhang der Pupille sich lautlos auf –. Dann geht ein Bild hinein, geht durch der Glieder angespannte Stille – und hört im Herzen auf zu sein.

                        Except the ones that shout. I really don't like the ones that shout in the mosque. Otherwise, even when they are speaking Arabic, or another language I can't understand, it is incredibly soothing and keeps your attention.

                        Like when they sing? I love when they sing.

                        Here in Cyprus when I sit out on the balcony of my apartment until the early hours (like 5 am) I can hear the Imam singing the prayer and I find it incredibly beautiful. On one level it's a reminder we're still occupied, but on another even greater level it's absolutely beautiful.

                        He isn't speaking Arabic it is Farsi ( Persian ) wouldn't be that soothing if it was Arabic.

                                When people like us go into deep concentration, we go into regret of the past, we become jealous of other people, we have greedy ambition towards the future. . .

                                Sounds about right.

                                That is pretty much a rewording of Buddha's finding and teaching, period. He did some princely things, then some child like things, then he went all militant extremist on himself and denied his body, tortured his body and spirit, and then when he almost bit the dust by doing that he saw compassion exercised in front of him and he figured he'd try just being a nice, non violent person who tried to be fully aware of his actions, impact, and surroundings. In this he says he found the ability to concentrate so well he no longer needed the trappings of his body, things, and earthly experience. He taught people that compassion and letting go of stuff is the secret, but offers a whole lot of help achieving it with chants and thought experiments.

                                Pretty much the epicenter of the noble truths dude. If you follow those and the 8-fold path then you can rise above being a person 'just like us'.

                                If you let go of superficial materialistic things then you can't 'become jealous' of someone else. (my succinct way I believe this guy's muslim teachings seem to have a touch of buddhism philosophy.

                                    This guy seems very at peace with the present moment. And it's interesting what he says about the ancient clerics having the ability to concentrate without dwelling in the past or anticipating the future. That's what we try to learn in many forms of Buddhist meditation.

                                      What does he mean at the end when he says "May Allah remove his mercy from the oppressors"?

                                      [–]Ohkabin 217ポイント218ポイント  (8子コメント)

                                      It does not mean "May Allahs Wrath be upon the oppressors" as some others have incorrectly informed you. the translation which was given in that video was the closest thing to the correct english translation of the Arabic text, the point is supposed to be that Allah's mercy is on all of us from the beginning anyway so instead of cursing them (since that's basically an act of pure hatred) you ask Allah to remove his mercy from them on the day of judgement so they can pay for their sins of oppression.

                                      Arabic is a very complex language and each word can have several different meanings so its wrong to assume that "remove his mercy" and "Allah's wrath be upon them" are the same.

                                      It kind of seems to me this is still an act that is not born of benevolent intentions. Does it say in the Quran that it is sinful to curse someone out of hatred? Is it the hatred that makes it sinful, or the cursing? If it's the cursing that's sinful then it seems like a loophole to be asking Allah to lift his mercy with the same hate filled intentions. If it's the hatred that's sinful, then they are sinning either way.

                                      I'm not super educated on the Islamic religion and am trying to develop a better picture of Islam contrary to what I'm fed constantly by the media.

                                      A couple user below answered this pretty well imo:

                                      In Islam, it is believed that God's mercy is what keeps us from harm, whether physical, spiritually or in the afterlife. So when someone is "marked for damnation", it doesn't mean God will "actively destroy" him, it means God won't extend his mercy for them, hence the evil-doer will face the consequences of his actions and God will not protect him. It's a bit more complicated than that, but I tried to make it as simple as possible.

                                      -/u/TeslaRocksss

                                      Oppressor as it is used in the Qur'an and Hadith doesn't always translate to the type of political tyrant we are thinking of. An oppressor is anyone who does wrong to anyone else or even to himself. For example, if I steal your money I am oppressing you by denying your right to your hard earned property. The sermon, in this particular case, was concluded by asking God to allow all wrongdoers to be brought to justice. There's nothing violent or vengeful about this. He's simply praying that God allow justice to take hold in the land so that we can all enjoy our lives, property, and dignity without fearing that someone else is going to take them. Sermons can end with other types of prayers as well.

                                        Sermons end with this prayer in most places. It's better worded as " May Allah's wrath be upon the oppressors."

                                                The quote is taken grossly out of context. The literal translation in English does not share the same meaning as the original verse.

                                                    It is different from the Christian "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." turn the other cheek business.

                                                    EDIT- yes I know Christianity has a bloody history, what with the crusaders eating Muslim babies and all that. I was merely pointing out the differences in the commonly repeated phrases of the religions.

                                                    Christianity teaches for the individual practitioner to forgive his enemies. But make no mistake about it, the New Testament is filled with verses warning about God's wrath and judgment. The 7 Woes to the Pharisees is a prime example. The Pharisees were the cultural governing body for the Jewish community and Jesus straight tells them that they're going to burn in hell over and over again. Christianity urges followers to be peaceful and forgiving, but there's still plenty of fire and brimstone going on upstairs.

                                                          In the context of the conversation Quran states oppresors as "From now on, who lies against Allah and slanders on him, they are the oppressors."

                                                          There are many verses in Quran about oppressors but if you ask my opinion who they are; one who denies you from your rights and forces you to live their way are oppressors. You can fit ISIS and all tyrants(as u/darthmalhansolo said) to this definiton.

"May Allah remove his mercy" is vastly different, stating that Allah is protecting all people. I'm not Muslim (I'm atheist), and I actually don't know the wording, but I will defend a group of people from slander.

                                                                Why do they end the prayer with "may allah have no mercy on the oppressors"?.. it seems a less then peaceful way to end what seems to be a a very great and loving sermon. Who are the oppresors? Why do they wish them ill will if they are encouraging people to have "no malicious intentions"? Im honestly curious.. because I loved the rest of the speech. Maybe you can supply some context to that closing statement.

                                                                Oppressor as it is used in the Qur'an and Hadith doesn't always translate to the type of political tyrant we are thinking of. An oppressor is anyone who does wrong to anyone else or even to himself. For example, if I steal your money I am oppressing you by denying your right to your hard earned property. The sermon, in this particular case, was concluded by asking God to allow all wrongdoers to be brought to justice. There's nothing violent or vengeful about this. He's simply praying that God allow justice to take hold in the land so that we can all enjoy our lives, property, and dignity without fearing that someone else is going to take them. Sermons can end with other types of prayers as well.

                                                                      The Shia were essentially downtrodden and oppressed for centuries, and this is more of a subtle jab at this history, than anything else. It's kept deliberately obscure, so as to not offend people, but it is from this historical tradition, mostly concerning historical personalities, like those who killed the Prophet's grandson.

                                                                      Edit: Also he didn't say cure or Allah's wrath be upon the oppressors, but may God remove his mercy from the oppressors, which is not pejorative (in the language).

As a person you shouldn't be forcing anyone to do anything. People have their own freewill and live with that rest of their lives. As you said "no malicious intentions" should be easy to spread if there are none.

                                                                      Praying for Allah to have no mercy on them doesn't mean they should be executed on sight. Religions have the afterlife and God can punish them in afterlife.

                                                                            It takes the most interesting consequences of Paul's ascendancy (the jihad and his fear of it) and vanishes them off-page in a ten-year gap. It shrinks from the epic sweep and galactic feel of the original down to a murder mystery in Arrakeen. It takes a single offhanded mention in the first book about a world that trains evil mentats and stretches it into another widely known and feared organization of manipulators on par with the Bene Gesserit that just happened to not get mentioned by anyone else until now when they show up with their axlotl tanks and Mr. Plot Point To Save A Favorite Character From The Oblivion Of Not Being Written About.

                                                                            And then I found out that the book was originally printed in Galaxy, serialized by chapters, and suddenly everything made a lot more sense. I feel no guilt, Charles Dickens ground all that out of me.

                                                                            [–]Jedi_Outcast 9ポイント10ポイント  (2子コメント)

                                                                                Seeing animals behave compassionately, we could also conclude that compassion is innate as well.

                                                                                There's a story of Buddha IIRC- long story short, he basically says "In my experience I can't say that people are fundamentally good or fundamentally evil".

                                                                                I'd say I agree with that.

Always loved on and hugged and kissed on anyone who would let her. Then she went to day care and it is all slowly changing. We make each other assholes. We do those things that we soon begin to despise in one another. My 2 year old boy is the sweetest child I have ever known. I have never seen or heard of him pushing another child, pulling hair, biting or anything else like that. Then he went to daycare and I see it changing in him as well. So it is my belief that is our environment that changes who we are. I rock my babies to sleep every night. I love on them without concern because I never had that from my father. My babies know that I love them far beyond anything else. Even through discipline, even if it is a spanking, there is love that follows. So it is my belief now that babies are born like empty water jugs. We fill them with love, compassion, caring and the beautiful things of ourselves (or good parents do that) and then we turn them out into the world with these big, loving soft hearts. They soon realize that there are kids that have been raised like savages. Raised to not care about anyone but themselves. Raised to understand the only way you get anything in this world is to forcefully take it. So I disagree with you. Babies are born with no knowledge of anything...we as parents either fill them with garbage or with love. The rest takes care of itself.

Constantly I hear the ignorant remarks about Islam, with shitty people saying they should all be rounded up and shot for what happened in Tennessee. More so than other religions, I see people using ISIS and other extremist groups as their basis for hating all Muslims.

                                                                                          The family I grew up knowing was the kindest family I've ever known. The religion is beautiful, and teaches those who follow it to be peaceful and nothing but kind to others. I have had many experiences with others claiming to practice other religions. Experiences both good and bad. I have never met a Muslim who didn't greet me with kindness. The man in this video reminded me a lot of my friend's father.

                                                                                            As I got older and started to see the world how it really was, and learn about a lot of different religions, one of the things that blew my mind was Mohammad actually said something like Allah (God) was the same as the Judaism and Christian God.

                                                                                            One in the same, and that Jews and Christians should be protected (allowed to pray, follow their own prophets etc.) until they can be with their maker and gain enlightenment, not be forced to do it one way or another.

My (Australian) next door neighbors are fully devoted Muslims, but have never once preached or forced religion upon us. They always being us platters of food after Ramadan too! The scripture and the culture seems so rich with beauty... and then in the back of my mind i keep thinking about all of the other fanatic issues that go along with it. Obviously there are different types of faith in the middle east (im clearly generalizing) but its such a confusing faith :(

                                                                                                  [–]rezilient 46ポイント47ポイント  (0子コメント)

Islamism is basically a recent movement. I'm not saying there hasn't always been some fanaticism and violence in Islam, but that can be said of most religions. Much of the violence we're seeing from the Muslim world now is a result of Islamism.

Most Christians are normal, nice people but all you ever see on Reddit or on TV is Westboro Baptist. Good people doing good things in the name of their religion doesn't make for good ratings.

                                                                                                              I'm not implying that there are no decent human-beings who are also Muslim clerics. There could be some. But my opinion based on years of experience in Iran and encountering many clerics is that you should always be skeptic.

I still know that it is not out of bad intentions, he just sees things differently.

All I can say is I'm not intolerant but I have a huge disregard for organized religions. Especially since we only get subjected to the extremist viewpoints. This guy here... this guy here I would gladly listen to. Would I follow the religion? No way but I would surely respect his words and understanding. We need more images like this to understand.

It was an innocent kid who didn't really understand the full extent of what was going on and she kept saying things that pissed me off. Idk maybe its just me being made sour by things like the daily show but I can't watch the news anymore without rolling my eyes every time the newscasters speak.
