Piše Majda Travnik Vode, bereta Igor Velše in Mateja Perpar. Za nekaj breztežnih, skorajda hipnotičnih trenutkov se zazdi, da se bo zgodila pripovedna čarovnija; da se bo prvi roman Maja Haderlap Angel pozabe na nevidni razpoki kot živo srebro prelil v novega, Ženske v temi, in se bosta knjigi strnili v nedeljivo celoto. Ta vzgib je morda posledica neubranljive sile pričakovanja; v Angelu pozabe avtorica hkrati z apokalipso koroških Slovencev med drugo svetovno vojno in po njej izriše nepozabna družinska in družbena portreta babice Mici in očeta Zdravka, medtem ko lik matere ostane oklevajoče ambivalenten – in zato toliko bolj vznemirljiv. Zato ne preseneča, da ob podatku na začetku romana Ženske v temi, da se bo protagonistka z Dunaja odpeljala k ostareli mami na Koroško, samodejno potegnemo sklep, da bo avtorica družinsko galerijo podaljšala z monumentalnim portretom matere. In vendar ne: roman Ženske v temi po nekaj uvodnih zamahih krene v povsem drugo smer, na drugačna tematska križišča in v drugačno atmosfero kot Angel pozabe; še najbolj pa preseneti drugačen, poenostavljeno rečeno, veliko bolj negotov notranji tempo romana. V Angelu pozabe, čeprav zvečine pisanim iz otroške perspektive (Drago Jančar ga je po Lojzetu Kovačiču parafraziral Deklica in smrt), so vsebinska in vrednostna razmerja in stališča jasna; in temu sledi tudi pisava. Nasprotno Ženske v temi – kot v retrovizorju nemara sugerira že naslov – že v uvodnih akordih zazvenijo tipajoče, krhko in že tudi nekoliko nepovezano, pri čemer je osrednji katalizator tovrstnega vzdušja ranljiva in razpršena protagonistka Mira, za katero se zdi, da jo je avtorica zavestno umestila daleč proč od brezimne, a notranje veliko bolj navzoče prvoosebne pripovedovalke v Angelu pozabe. Deklica, kasneje mladostnica, v Angelu pozabe sama pri sebi ves čas dobro vé in ubeseduje, kdo je in kaj se ji dogaja, medtem ko Mira v Ženskah v temi samo sebe zaznava nekako haptično, tako da se poraja vtis, kot da zmore zgolj občasno slediti valovanju svoje zavesti. Mirino stanje občasno spomni na junake Marka Sosiča: »To je kača, ki leže jajca v meni, je tuhtala Mira, ta žival je večna, razmnožuje se po železni, zame nedoumljivi zakonitosti. Začutila je plamtenje hladnega ognja, ki se je sprijel v visok, vse višji vrtinec plamenov, se najprej zatikajoče se, naposled pa odločno in neomajno razmahnil in požgal vse, kar ga je skušalo ustaviti.« Razlogov za Mirino bolj ali manj stalno tesnobo je veliko; eden od najbolj pomenljivih je jezik, saj Mira, Koroška Slovenka, ne v slovenščini ne v nemščini nima besed za svoja občutja: »V Mirini družini so zaupali robatim tonom, za vse so bili nekaj najbolj običajnega. ( … ) S tem jezikom je Mira zrasla, bil je njen dejanski materni jezik, robat in skrčen na najnujnejše, jezik, ki jo je izoblikoval in ki se mu ni mogla drugače postaviti po robu, kakor da se mu je izmaknila, se ogradila od njega.« Povod za tokratni Mirin odhod z Dunaja je obisk ostarele matere v domači podjunski vasi. Stik z domačim okoljem opiše z besedami: »Bil je zadah umiranja, sladkoben in žarek, četudi opojen zadah umiranja življenja.« Še prej v besedilu svojo vas imenuje »past«, ob čemer se spomnimo na dekličin citat iz Angela pozabe, ko prihaja na počitnice: »Domači griči se preobrazijo v past, ki vsako poletje seže po meni in me zgrabi.« 'Past' je torej eden od skupnih in hkrati najbolj simptomatičnih in izzivalnih toposov obeh romanov. To, da obe protagonistki koroške vasi in njihov okoliš, imenujeta 'past', nazorno govori, kako trpko je, zlasti za mladega človeka, biti koroški Slovenec, vsak trenutek izpostavljen in zaznamovan. Mira ni dovolj pogumna, da bi se borila za slovenstvo, kar pa ne pomeni, da se ji ob prihodu vsakič znova ne vzbudijo mešani občutki odpadništva in pripadnosti slovenski manjšini. Ob snidenju z materjo po dolgem času spregovori v slovenščini, naslednji dan pa med opravki v Železnem Dolu, majhnem sosednjem mestu, nepričakovano naleti na Jurija, svojo mladostno ljubezen, in se dogovori za zmenek. Z Jurijem se je razšla, ker je podtaknil razstrelivo pod električno napeljavo, da bi mednarodno javnost opozoril na koroški problem. Jurij je torej drugačen od nje, ki je pred »nevšečnostjo biti koroški Slovenec« pobegnila na Dunaj, se poročila z Avstrijcem Martinom in se zaposlila v knjižnici. Ko Mira med obiskom preiskuje vzroke za svoje partnerske, identitetne in duševne težave, se med drugim spominja, kako ji je okolica kot otroku nič krivi naprtila krivdo za očetovo smrt (ta motiv se ujema z utopitvijo v Angelu pozabe) in kako je ob tem čutila, da jo mati zaradi tega sovraži (mati ji to zdaj tudi potrdi), ter kako so jo kot deklico otipavali in nadlegovali vaški pijanci. Za to, da bi odkrila poglavitni vzrok svojih težav, pa sluti, da bi morala »pobrskati pod pepel druge svetovne vojne« – kar pa se ji zdi tako neznosno, da se temu takoj odpove: »Bala se je, da se kot potomka žrtev nasilja ne bi več rešila iz klobčiča vezi in ne bi mogla nikomur razložiti, zakaj se ne vidi kot Slovenko.« Poleg tega Mira med pospravljanjem najde anketo, s katero je pred diplomo raziskovala položaj koroških Slovenk, pa tudi svoj najstniški dnevnik iz časa, ko je zanosila, splavila in pristala na psihiatriji. Mira si med vračanjem h koreninam torej prizadeva, da bi poiskala vzroke za svoje osebno počutje in nelagodje v (slovenski) kulturi – in jih najdeva vsenaokrog, vendar zaenkrat nima moči, da bi jih presegla; tako tudi ni čudno, da konec njene zgodbe ostane povsem odprt. V drugem delu, v trenutku Mirinega odhoda na Dunaj, roman preklopi na pripoved Mirine mame Ani, pri čemer nemudoma izstopi neskladnost predstav, ki jih imata mati in hči druga o drugi. Jasno je, da je Ani kljub telesni betežnosti duhovno in miselno prožna, tudi sama pa se, ob selitvi iz domače hiše v varovano okolje, znajde na križpotju. Tudi Ani ne razpolaga z jezikom za svoje spomine in občutja, zato ji pride na misel, da bi si življenje najlaže približala z risanjem: »Če bi hotela narisati svojo mater, bi jo kot temno gorsko kraljico, ki živi v ledu in premore lastnost, da ob nekaterih dnevih stopi na dan kot velikanka, ob drugih dneh pa je prozorno bitje.« V primerjavi s hčerjo Ani deluje veliko bolj uravnoteženo; zdi se, da predvsem zahvaljujoč svoji sposobnosti, da se pravočasno ustavi pred usodnimi vprašanji, nekako v skladu z Nietzschejevim spoznanjem, da če predolgo gledamo v brezno, nas lahko brezno pogleda nazaj. Ani je – morda tudi zaradi globoke osebne vere – podarjeno, da je brezno ne privlači predolgo ... Ta lastnost je dobro vidna ob njenem premišljevanju o materi Neži, za katero Ani ni nikoli dokončno dognala, ali je bila žrtvujoča se svetnica ali gostilniška lahkoživka. Ko se v Ani poleže trenutno vznemirjenje, lahko mirno in razsodno živi naprej življenje slehernice. Njena nedoslednost v spoznavanju je eden od vidikov njene osebnosti, zaradi katerega ostaja ženska v temi, in hkrati učinkovit preživetveni mehanizem. Maja Haderlap v knjigi Ženske v temi odpira večna vprašanja človeške bližine, ženske in narodnostne identitete, odnosov med materami in hčerami, strategij soočanja s travmami, minevanja in drugih, vendar se ob koncu zdi, da ji ni uspelo poiskati tako učinkovitih notranje- in zunanjeformalnih kanalov za posredovanje svojih tematik kot v romanu Angel pozabe. Lika Mire in Ani nista dovolj karizmatična in večplastna, da bi iz njiju lahko zrasel prepričljiv skelet romana (medtem ko njuni potencialno veliko bolj zagonetni sorodnici, Neža in Dragica, ostaneta v ozadju). Kot kontrapunkt premalo magnetičnima junakinjama bi avtorica verjetno lahko učinkovito zgradila dinamično zunanje dogajanje, vendar je tega malo, zgolj za nujni okvir. Notranji tonus pripovedi rahljajo tudi dolgi, ponekod preveč površinski oziroma pozunanjeni opisi, ki večkrat nimajo dovolj razvidnega vpliva na dogajanje in razvoj romana. Delež bežnih impresij, spominov, opisov in drugih zastranitev je tolikšen, da se izgubljata rdeča nit in linearnost romana, fokus pripovedi pa dodatno zamegljuje tematska neosredotočenost, saj ni povsem jasno, kaj avtorica izpostavlja kot ključen Mirin oziroma Anin problem, in, v povezavi s tem, kaj je središčna tema romana – duševna neravnovesja, identiteta ali odnos med materami in hčerami? Roman tako ves čas nekako niha in od bralca pogosto terja, da si ga sam osmišlja in razlaga. Ženske v temi ponujajo zanimive nastavke, ki pa so izpeljani preveč nejasno, da bi jih forma romana lahko ustrezno podčrtala in povzdignila. Kot da roman že po svoji naravi terja odločnejšo strukturo, zato bi bilo nemara zanimivo preizkusiti, kako bi avtoričine tokratne literarne odločitve učinkovale v krajših formah.
Haya; beğenilmemesi (veya nefret edilmesi) beklenen, yahut terk edilmesi işlenmesinden evlâ olan bir şeyi yaptığında (ya da yapacağı zaman) insan yüzünde beliren ince bir belirtidir. Peygamber (s.a.v.) bu kavrama sahip olmak yönünden de herkesten üstündü. Yani son derece haya sahibi idi. Avret ve ayıp olan şeylere karşı âdeta gözleri yumuktu. Ebu Said el-Hudri (r.a.)'ın: “Resûlullâh (s.a.v.), örtüsü içindeki bakire kızdan daha hayâlıydı. Bir şeyden hoşlanmadığı zaman,hemen (mübarek) yüzünden anlardık. Peygamber (s.a.v.) öylesine haya ve edeb sahibi idi ki, hiç kimseye, hoşlanmadığı şeyle (haya ve iyiliğinden ötürü) hitap etmezdi.” dediği rivayet edilmiştir.Âişe (r.anha), Peygamber (s.a.v.) hakkında şöyle buyuruyor: “Kendilerine, bir kimsenin,hoşlanmadığı bir şeyi yaptığı haber verilince:“Neden falan kimse böyle diyor, böyle yapıyor?” demezdi. Umumî mânâda şöyle buyururlardı: “Niçin böyle yapıyorlar veya diyorlar?” Bu şekilde o adamı yaptığı veya söylediği kötü işten alıkordu ve adını vermezdi.” Yine Âişe (r.anha) buyurdu ki: “Peygamber (s.a.v.) terbiyeye zıt düşen, bozan bir söz söylemezdi.Böyle bir söz söylemeye katiyen teşebbüs bile etmezdi. Çarşı ve pazarda yüksek sesle (âlemi rahatsız edecek şekilde) katiyen konuşmazdı.Kötülüğe, kötülükle mukâbele etmezdi. Bilâkis af ederdi ve müsamahakâr davranırdı.”Tevrat'ta da böyle vasf edildiğine dair, İbn Selâm ve Amr İbni'I-As (r.a.e)'den rivayet vardır. Yine ondan rivayet edildiğine göre; fazla hayasından dolayı mübarek gözü kimsenin yüzüne sabit bir halde bakamazdı. Hoşlanılmayacak bir sözü söylemeye zorunluk duyduğunda kinaye yollu anlatırdı.(Kadı İyaz, Şifâ-i Şerîf, s.115-117)
It was a summer of boozy beers but Alex and Stephen hop back on the NA train with four summer "refreshers." Not quite a cocktail, not at all beer, possibly soda-ish, offerings from Casamara Club, Something & Nothing, Melo, and Pentire battle it out to see if any NA drink is worthy of dethroning St. Agrestis. In the Beer News, new tariffs will hit the beer industry soon, Spindrift 86s their Spiked seltzer line, and Campbell's Soup teams up with Pabst Blue Ribbon for a soup collab no one asked for.

Full transcript (AI generated)Alhamdulillah, we praise Allah for allowing us to gather on this beautiful—if a little chilly—morning. Alhamdulillah for this amazing weather.It was lovely to see the president of the Islamic society in red and white today. To our Indonesian brothers and sisters: Selamat Hari Kemerdekaan—Happy Independence Day. Eighty years since independence—may Allah keep your nation in peace and strength.If anyone needs proof that Islam was not spread by the sword, just look at our region. You don't find armies forcing Islam upon the people there. Rather, traders—many from Hadramawt in Yemen—came to the Indonesian archipelago. The Indonesians were impressed by their honesty and akhlaq. The sultans and rulers accepted Islam, and as was common then, when a king accepted a faith, much of his people followed.Some argue, “But what about the Indian subcontinent—Pakistan and India—didn't Islam spread there by northern armies?” Even there, the heart of Islam's spread was da‘wah and reason, not compulsion.Look at Syria and Egypt. Egypt was opened by ‘Amr ibn al-‘Ās in the time of ‘Umar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb. Syria and Damascus were opened by Khālid ibn al-Walīd. Muslims ruled those lands, yet it took 500 years before Syria became majority Muslim, and around 300 years for Egypt. If Islam were spread by force, everyone would have “converted” within decades. History shows otherwise.Consider also the monastery of St Catherine in Sinai. It predates Islam, and they proudly claim to hold a letter from the Prophet ﷺ guaranteeing the safety of Christians in Egypt. Whether or not you accept the document, the point stands: Islam lived alongside other faiths. In greater Bilād al-Shām—what we call the Levant—multiple religions have long flourished.A stable nation is a great blessing from Allah. One of the early scholars said: I make du‘ā' for our rulers, that Allah rectifies their affairs. When asked, “Why not just make du‘ā' for yourself?” he replied, “If I pray for myself, only I benefit. If I pray for the ruler, everyone benefits.” Even if a ruler is flawed, there is no harm in asking Allah to guide them and make them just—because a just leader benefits all.When we talk about nation-states, let's be honest: many borders are colonial lines. What separates Malaysia and Indonesia? We are one people in so many ways. We speak closely related languages. Historically, the region has been called by many names: the Malay world, the archipelago, even Jāwī—so scholars from our lands were known in the Arab world as “al-Jāwī,” whether they were Javanese, Malay, Bugis, Makassarese, or others. The difference between Malaysia and Indonesia today largely traces to the Dutch and the British.So how do we relate to nation-states? Two extremes exist. One says, “There is no nation—only the Ummah—restore the Khilāfah now.” The other says, “I will die for this colonial line.” The truth, as our scholars remind us, is the balanced middle path. We are one Ummah of Muhammad ﷺ, and we also live in nation-states. Attempts to tear down states overnight have, in recent history, brought much harm. We live within reality while never forgetting the greater reality: every Muslim we meet is our brother or sister in faith, and that bond is sacred.The Prophet ﷺ himself showed us how to balance love of homeland. He loved Makkah—his birthplace, the land of his ancestors, home of the Ka‘bah built by Ibrāhīm and Ismā‘īl. He left only because it became unsafe—he was forced out. On his way out he turned back and said, “O Makkah, had my people not expelled me, I would never have left you.” But when he migrated to Madīnah, he loved it too, and made du‘ā': “O Allah, make us love Madīnah as we love Makkah, or even more,” and, “O Allah, bless Madīnah twice what You blessed Makkah.”He became part of Madīnah's community—integrating Muhājirīn and Anṣār, building a strong society—while his heart still loved Makkah. That's balance.Many of us here were born elsewhere—Malaysia, Indonesia, Lebanon, and beyond—and migrated to Australia. Love your country of origin; that's natural and from the sunnah of fitrah. But also accept the reality: we live here now by choice. So contribute here. Build here. Strengthen community here. Loving Australia doesn't mean hating your country of origin, and loving your homeland doesn't mean ignoring the reality and responsibilities of this country that has given us so much. Ask: How can I make this country, this society, this community better?I often say: loving the country you live in—serving it—is following the sunnah, because that's what the Prophet ﷺ did in Madīnah. Wherever a Muslim goes, they make the place better. In Malay we say: a good seed grows wherever it lands—even on a mountain. That's the believer: wherever we go, we leave goodness.Today I want to focus on Sūrat al-Ḥujurāt—a chapter I call the community's Standard Operating Procedure. It was revealed in late Madīnan years—around year 9 AH—barely over a year before the Prophet's passing. Year 9 is known as ‘Ām al-Wufūd—the Year of Delegations—with tribes pouring into Madīnah to pledge allegiance: sometimes politically, sometimes religiously.Look at the numbers to feel the context. In Makkah, after 13 years of da‘wah, roughly 80-plus men migrated with the Prophet ﷺ. Within two years in Madīnah, that number grew to around 300. At Uḥud, around 700 fought; by al-Khandaq, 3,000. At the Fath (Conquest) of Makkah in year 8, 10,000. By the Prophet's Ḥajj in year 10, more than 120,000. Exponential growth. What fueled it? One key event was the Treaty of al-Ḥudaybiyyah in year 6: a period of peace. In times of war, growth was modest; in times of peace, da‘wah flourished. Islam spreads best with safety, honesty, and service—not with the sword.Now to al-Ḥujurāt itself—“the Chambers”—named after the simple living quarters of the Prophet ﷺ. Despite becoming the most influential man in Arabia, his home was about 5m x 5m. Think of an IKEA showcase room—that's roughly the size. Before Khaybar, the Sahābah often tied stones to their stomachs from hunger. After Khaybar, prosperity came to the community, but the Prophet's personal lifestyle didn't change. When his household's income increased, he didn't buy a bigger house or a fancier camel. He increased in infaq—in giving. Some of his wives understandably asked for more comfort. Allah revealed that the Prophet's family are held to a higher standard, choosing Allah and the Ākhirah over worldly luxury. (Brothers, don't take this as ammunition against your wives—we are not prophets, and our families are not the Mothers of the Believers. Balance is key. The Prophet also taught that the best charity is what you spend on your family.)The sūrah begins: “O you who believe, do not put yourselves before Allah and His Messenger.” Our feelings and preferences take a back seat when the command of Allah and His Messenger is clear. But clarity matters—this is why the Ummah has tafāsīr and scholarship. In the time of ‘Alī and Mu‘āwiyah, the Khawārij claimed, “Back to Qur'ān and Sunnah!” ‘Alī brought the muṣḥaf and said, “Let the Qur'ān speak.” They said, “It can't.” Exactly—we need scholars; the Qur'ān is interpreted and applied through qualified understanding.Next, adab with the Prophet ﷺ: “Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet…” The context: in the Year of Delegations, Abū Bakr and ‘Umar were assigning officials to receive tribes. Their discussion became loud—near the Prophet ﷺ. Allah revealed the warning that raising voices in his presence could nullify deeds. From then, they barely spoke above a whisper before him. One Companion with a naturally loud voice stopped attending the masjid out of fear. The Prophet ﷺ noticed his absence (as was his habit after ṣalāh) and reassured him.How is this relevant now? When you visit al-Rawḍah in Madīnah, remember your adab—don't push, don't argue. And more broadly: respect the Sunnah and ḥadīth. Don't weaponise ḥadīth to defeat one another. Imām Mālik would bathe, dress well, and apply perfume before narrating ḥadīth—because these are the words of the Prophet ﷺ. His mother told him when he was a child: “Learn your teacher's manners before his knowledge.” Many giants of our tradition were raised by remarkable mothers—may Allah increase the piety of our families.Now, the central ayah for our time—49:6:If a fāsiq brings you news, verify (fatabayyanū), lest you harm people out of ignorance and become regretful.Another qirā'ah reads fatathabbātū—establish the truth carefully. Both meanings are needed: verify the facts(tathabbūt) and clarify the context (tabayyun). Something can be factually true but contextually misunderstood. This ayah was revealed when a zakat-collector panicked at the stern-looking welcome of a Bedouin tribe, returned to Madīnah, and reported refusal to pay. War was nearly launched—until the matter was checked and clarified. It was simply a misreading of their manner.Brothers and sisters, we live in an age of instant forwarding. “Shared as received” does not absolve us. Better not to share than to spread harm. The Prophet ﷺ said it's enough falsehood for a person to relay everything they hear. We will be accountable for what we circulate.Next, Allah addresses conflict: “If two groups of believers fight, make peace between them.” Note: believers—disagreement and even fights can sadly occur in this world. Our job is to be peacemakers—afshū al-salām—not arsonists who inflame tensions.Then Allah forbids mockery, belittling nicknames, and demeaning jokes. A one-off joke may pass; repeated “teasing” cuts the heart. Joke with people, not at them. Give good nicknames—like the Prophet ﷺ did with Abū Hurayrah, “father of kittens,” because he loved cats.Finally, the universal ayah—49:13:“O mankind, We created you from male and female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another…”Islam doesn't merely tolerate difference—it celebrates it. Li-ta‘ārafū—so you can truly know one another. Our diversity is a strength, not a weakness.A small story from campus days: we used to hold ifṭār at the Hacker Café. When policy changes demanded payment for bookings, the Malays among us—known for adab and non-confrontation—were ready to accept and move on. Our Arab brothers said, “No, this is our right; let's advocate.” Alhamdulillah, by different strengths working together, we kept the space. Sometimes a firm voice is needed; sometimes a calming voice. We need each other.Even our food is multicultural. Malaysians and Indonesians love sambal, but chilli isn't native to us—it came via Iberian traders after their colonisation of the Americas. They found it too spicy and passed it along; we said, “Bismillah—this is amazing!” Now, a meal without sambal hardly feels complete. That's multiculturalism on a plate.The Anṣār and Muhājirīn had different temperaments. The Prophet ﷺ praised the Anṣārī women for their confidence in asking questions—something Makkan women initially found difficult. Different strengths, one Ummah. Be like the beethat seeks flowers, not the fly that looks for wounds.Even our differences in madhāhib and approaches are strengths. Teaching ‘aqīdah to children benefits from the clarity and simplicity associated with “Salafī” pedagogy; engaging philosophers and other faiths may require the tools preserved in Ash‘arī and Māturīdī kalām. In fiqh, our differences are a mercy. I came from a Shāfi‘ī background where Jumu‘ah requires forty settled men. Early on here, I looked out and counted twenty-eight—then remembered I hadn't checked visa statuses! Alhamdulillah for Ḥanafī fiqh, where a much smaller number suffices. Our differences, handled with adab, make life easier, not harder. The line is only crossed when difference turns to violence or takfīr over minor issues.Thank you for spending your precious, cold winter morning with me. We ask Allah to accept this from us.We make du‘ā' that Allah blesses Indonesia with peace, prosperity, and barakah for her people; that He blesses the entire Ummah; that He blesses Australia and guides its leaders to make wise decisions for the public good—not just for narrow economic interests of some quarter.We ask Allah to protect our brothers and sisters in Palestine, especially Gaza. O Allah, they are hungry—feed them. They are surrounded from every direction—but all directions belong to You. Protect them. Grant the martyrs the highest Jannah. Reunite parents and children separated by rubble, and reunite us with them in Jannah. Do not let our hearts turn away from them when the world turns its back. Use us as means for their aid and liberation. Guide us, employ us in Your service, and accept from us, O Most Merciful.Āmīn. This is a public episode.

Za obdobje med obema vojnama, ko je bila Primorska pod Italijo in je trpela pod hudim fašističnim raznarodovalnim pritiskom, je značilen tudi tako imenovani »Fenomen Toneta Kralja«, slikarja, ki je v mnogih sakralnih objektih angažirano poslikal slovensko etnično mejo v času, v katerem je živel.

Semûd kavmi deveyi Çarşamba günü öldürmüştü. Salih (a.s.) “Yarın Perşembe yüzleriniz sararır, Cuma günü kızarır ve Cumartesi günü kararır, Pazar günü de azâbınız gelir”dedi. Deveyi öldüren yedi kişi: “Gelin, bu gece Sâlih'in evini basıp kendisini öldürelim. Eğer doğru söylüyorsa, bize azâb ermeden bizim azâbımız O'na ermiş olsun, şâyed yalan söylüyorsa, O'nu da devesinin yanına göndermiş oluruz.” dediler. Fakat geceleyin baskın yapmak üzere evine gittikleri vakit, Melâike hepsini taşla vurup öldürdü. Ölenlerin akrâbâsı: “Bu gençleri Sâlih öldürdü, biz de O'nu öldürürüz.” dediler. Fakat Sâlih Peygamberin ashâbı silâhlandı: “Vallâhi, siz O'nu katiyen öldüremezsiniz, üç gün sonra size azâb ineceğini vadetti. Eğer gerçekse, üzerinize Râbbil Âlemîn'in gazâbını artırmış olursunuz. Şâyed gerçek değilse, o zaman biz karışmayız, dilediğinizi ya 6 Ağustos, Mevlâna Takvimi parsınız.” dediler. Bu söz üzerine maktullerin akrâbâsı ayrıldı.Sabah oldu. Ne görsünler, küçük büyük, kadın erkek hepsinin yüzleri bir boyayla boyanmış gibi sarardı. Peygamberlerinin sözünün gerçekliğine inandılar. Cuma günü, yüzleri kana boyanmış gibi kızardı. Feryâd edip ağlaştılar. Cumartesi günü, yüzleri zift sürülmüş gibi karardı. Artık ye'se düşmüşlerdi. Kendilerine gelecek azâbı beklemeye başladılar. Pazar günü hepsi sokaklara dökülmüştü. Acaba nasıl bir azaba uğrayacağız diye, kâh semaya ve kâh yere bakınıyorlardı. Tam öğle vakti gökten müthiş bir ses işitildi. Yer sarsıldı. Hepsinin kalbleri parçalandı. Helâk oldular. Bilâhare Salih (a.s.), kendisine mü'min olan dört bin kişi ile Hıcr'den ayrıldı. Hadramut'a ve sonra Mekke'ye gitti. Yirmi yıl kavmi arasında kaldı ve elli sekiz yaşında Mekke'de vefât etti.(Ayıntabî Mehmed Efendi, Tibyân Tefsiri, c.2, s.98-99)
Paris and Bil discuss the unique draw of Leica cameras, with Paris noting their cult-like appeal and Bil sharing his personal obsession, including owning multiple models and trading them. Bil emphasizes his desire for a personal Leica to pass down to his children, particularly his son Dorian, who is already interested in photography and shooting film. They touch upon the resurgence of film photography and a cinematographer's process of digitally shooting and then transferring to film for a specific aesthetic, leading into Bil's current "Hollywood Cult" project, which explores underground queer culture and requires shooting in low-light conditions at odd hours, making digital capture essential for his artistic vision.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Bil Brownhttps://youtu.be/j1N0Yvgcf0Uhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Bil Brown and Paris Chong discuss the limitations and potential dangers of AI, with Bil asserting that AI cannot be a true artist as it lacks the ability to create or think independently, only compute based on existing data. He plans for the revived "Black and Gray" magazine to explore the "negative spaces" where AI cannot reach, focusing on what it means to be human in a world increasingly shaped by simulation. He references the controversial comedy routine "The Aristocrats" as a metaphor for a "rite of passage into humanity," aiming to highlight genuine human creativity and experience within the magazine's content.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Bil Brownhttps://youtu.be/j1N0Yvgcf0Uhttps://www.theparischongshow.com

Paris sits down with her friend, artist, and talented, Bil Brown. They kick off the conversation with a lighthearted discussion about Bil's long hair and a humorous, unexpected suggestion of a live haircut. Bil shares a funny anecdote about his last haircut being during the pandemic and a Jim Morrison quote about bad haircuts. Paris then reminisces about how she first met Bil years ago at a convention in Las Vegas, even before their more memorable meeting at Leica, a detail she didn't recall until much later. Bil then discusses his "Black and Gray" magazine, which is making a comeback, and mentions his collaboration with Matt Mercury, who will be an associate publisher.Bil delves into his diverse professional background, starting with his MFA in avant-garde poetry from the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa University, a Buddhist college. He recounts how he became a photographer by accident after working for a modeling agency and shares fascinating stories about meeting comedian Jeff Garlin and being introduced to Robert Frank by Allen Ginsberg. He also details his involvement with the Ginsberg archive at Stanford, where he photographed Ginsberg's India journals with his Leica. The conversation then shifts to Bil's 15-year career as an agent, where his major client was Amazon Fashion, overseeing 600+ photographers, stylists, and digitechs across numerous studios. He reveals the shocking reason for the end of his relationship with Amazon: they were using his talent to train their AI, and then proposed a "collab agreement" where he would pay them to hire his talent, which he refused.Inspired by these experiences, Bil shares his new "vow of photography," mirroring his earlier "vow of poetry" to "make the world safe for photography" in the face of AI. He emphasizes the importance of content credentials in cameras like the Leica M11-P to prove authenticity. They touch upon the controversial situation surrounding Nick Ut's iconic photo and the ongoing debate about attribution. Bil also discusses his family history, including his Cherokee great-grandfather and his surprising connection to the wealthy Brown family of Louisville, Kentucky. He closes by sharing a poem from his Kerouac School days and his vision for the revived "Black and Gray" magazine, aiming to feature both renowned and emerging artists while incorporating street photography ethics into editorial work.Show Notes:www.theparischongshow.com/episodes/bil-brown-from-avant-garde-poetry-fashion-photography-black-gray-magazine-to-art-aiChapters:(00:00:00) Intro(00:00:28) Bil Brown(00:02:21) Black & Grey(00:11:22) Amazon(00:13:14) Vow of Photography(00:16:20) Magnum(00:19:28) #1 Dad(00:21:58) 100 Years of Leica Block Party(00:24:11) Black & Grey Reissue(00:29:43) Street Photographers(00:34:20) Thoughts on AI(00:39:57) Film vs Digital(00:46:32) Outro

In this episode we look at the fact that Bil'am, a gentile prophet recognises God as his God and that his command is absolutely binding upon him. At the same time, we do not find Bil'am to be particularly dedicated to God in the sense of relationship, worship or devotion. We question this and draw important principles about our relationship to God, the world and our own lives from it.

Balak | Mah Tovu Ohalekha Yaakov, by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom What motivated Bil'am to bless as he did? Following the progression of Bilam's blessings. The lyrical, uplifting blessings with which Bil'am blessed Bnei Yisrael are among the most elegant and moving series of passages in Tanakh. What motivated Bil'am to bless as he did - was he simply a mouthpiece of Hashem, or did he, at some point, identify with the mission to bless God's people? A careful look at the text of his blessings, along with the passages that stitch those blessings together, reveals a more complex reality and a more profound answer.
Pourquoi Hachem a-t-Il empêché Bil'am de maudire les Bné Israël ? Pourquoi n'a-t-Il pas simplement fait en sorte que ses paroles n'aient aucun effet ?
Pourquoi la décision de Bil'am de détruire le peuple juif était-elle insensée ? Comment voulait-il s'y prendre ? Comment Hachem a-t-Il réagi ? En quoi cette réaction est-elle étonnante ? Comment la comprendre ? Quel est le but du peuple juif dans ce monde ? Hachem veut-Il imposer Sa royauté ? Réponse à travers des propos de Tossefot et de Rav 'Haïm Vital.
