General Knowledge

The term “Seminole” refers to a Native American people who developed in Florida in the 18th century and are now primarily based in Oklahoma and Florida. The name, derived from the Spanish “cimarron” (meaning “wild” or “runaway”), was given to groups of Muscogee people from Georgia, who were joined by escaped slaves and other Native Americans. Today, there are three federally recognized Seminole tribes: two in Oklahoma and one in Florida. The term can also refer to Seminole County in Florida and other places named after the people.

Sufi practices involving djinns

  • Interacting with djinns: Some Sufi brotherhoods use rituals to address djinns, which are believed to cause misfortune. They believe these specialists can reveal the identities of djinns and even facilitate communication with them through trance experiences.

  • Djinns as saints: In some Sufi traditions, particularly in places like Feroz Shah Kotla in India, djinns are venerated as “jinn-saints.” People appeal to them at shrines for justice, healing, and other forms of relief.

  • Spiritual guidance: Some Sufi-affiliated websites and materials discuss “secrets of the jinn” and their role in spiritual guidance, which indicates an engagement with the concept of jinn in their mystical teachings.

Islamic cosmological views on djinns

  • Creation: The Quran states that jinn were created before humans from a smokeless fire.

  • Nature: Unlike angels who are always obedient, jinn have free will, and can be good, evil, or neutral.

  • Iblis: The jinn known as Iblis is considered the leader of the evil jinn (shaytan), and is often equated with Satan.

  • Spiritual significance: Some interpret the concept of jinn as representing inner struggles, spiritual tests, or unseen forces that influence human life, a view that can be seen as metaphorical, though the belief in actual jinn also exists.

Differing viewpoints on Sufism and djinns

  • Critical view: Some Islamic scholars and critics view certain Sufi practices involving djinns as a deviation from mainstream Islam, asserting that Sufism is not rooted in Islamic teachings but rather in influences from jinn.

  • Counter-narrative: Other Sufi perspectives may see jinn as a part of the spiritual landscape that can be interacted with through specific rituals and methods, but within the context of seeking spiritual truths and justice.

To actually know how to count and how to keep count. feeling blessed

The actual fact that one can count infinitely is a very valid proof that eternity exists and therefore The Eternal Owner thereof.

It’s forbidden to suicide.

However, one can ask The Almighty to Rewrite one’s history and to be sure that it’s gonna take place one day. And one day is one day, even if it means to wait for it after the Angel of Death comes to pull the soul out of the body through the throat.

The human heart has four chambers. These chambers are essentially “rooms” that receive and pump blood, ensuring that oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood do not mix, which allows for a highly efficient circulatory system.
