Insofar as the Genesis Frog is represented in its temple form as being orbited by numerous planets, does it represent a star? Despite officially being an entire universe... we eventually see a star composed of universes, but that's a bit flakey as a basis for collapsing the two.
I ask because I'm wondering whether Jade/Jake's island is an abstracted star-and-crescent ☪️, a symbol commonly associated with Islam. It would be thematically consistent with my post from last week posing the twin volcanoes as camel humps...? And it would form a clear line of association with the frog temples by Aradia (Indiana Jones > Egypt excavation) and Kanaya (desert oasis)
queer muslim culture is being really attached to your family and actually wanting to stay with them but you know you can’t because they’ll never accept you for who you are and you feel real upset over that fact
reading like 3 pages of popsci physics writing and then nodding contemplatively, putting the book aside, and promptly googling "is math fake" "why isn't math fake" "explain how math is real" "explain why math isn't a bunch of made up shit" "explain why math is real like im five" "who says math is real reddit" in rapid succession
"Did you know that the art of stained glass originated in the Muslim world?
In the eighth century, skilled glassmakers in Egypt made a groundbreaking discovery—the technique of painting glass with metallic stain. This innovation led to the creation of transparent stains, colored with copper (producing red or brown) and silver (resulting in yellow), which became distinctive features of early Islamic glassware in Egypt and the Near East.
Fast forward to the 13th century, when decorators in the Syrian region achieved a significant milestone by applying enamels on glass on a large scale. Over the following two centuries, Syrian and Egyptian craftsmen crafted a diverse array of glass objects in various shapes and sizes, adorned with brilliant polychrome ornamentation. These items served practical purposes such as hanging lamps for illuminating mosque interiors, as well as functional vessels and other useful items, along with awe-inspiring display pieces.
In the later Middle Ages, European admiration for Islamic luxury glasses soared due to their exotic aesthetics and advanced technical craftsmanship. Some even believed these objects to be relics from the Holy Land. Fragments of Islamic glass, often adorned with gilding and enameling, have been discovered in archaeological excavations across Europe, while intact pieces grace cathedral treasuries. Notably, excavations have unveiled evidence of the exportation of Islamic glass vessels to China, highlighting the widespread influence and global trade connections of this innovative art form."
Thousands of pine trees are cut down for Christmas all over the world. Environmentalism your moves don't matter . Again, the Muslim insulting the victim animal lovers(!) for Christmas ignores millions of slaughtered turkeys. It seems that what their purpose is neither tree nor animal . . . . .#noel #nofilter #çamağacı #animals #animal #kurbanbayramı #kurban #müslüm #islam #islamic #hindi #yılbaşı #hristiyanlık #noelbaba #kesfet #keşfetteyim #keşfetteyiz #keşfetedüş #discover #disco #explore #anlamlısözler #uyaneymüslüman #turkey #eğlence #tatil #photography #fotoğrafçılık #fotoğraf #fotografia #usa (Noel Night) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmrNraSomJV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Prayer is a weapon of faith. First of all, seeing his most secret memories, the most sincere groans of his heart, the finest flutters of his mind; Believing in a God, who hears their silent cries like their loud cries, and who is always with him with his knowledge and power, is such a weapon that there is no enemy that he cannot defeat.
Hz. The one who saved Yunus (as) from the belly of the fish, Hz. The weapon that saved Ayyub (as) from the grip of the most painful disease is prayer. There is no question that a prayer weapon, which is used sincerely, on time, in time of need, misses its target. As long as prayer does not get infected with the virus of haste and despair...
Regarding the issue, Mr. According to the narration from Ali (ra), Hz. The Prophet (pbuh) said:
“Prayer is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of religion, the light of the heavens and the earth.” (see Hakim, Müstedrek, I/492)
With greetings and prayers...
Islam by Questions
الصلاة هي سلاح الإيمان. بادئ ذي بدء ، رؤية ذكرياته الأكثر سرية ، أخلص آهات قلبه ، أرقى ما يرفرف في عقله ؛ إن الإيمان بالله ، الذي يسمع صراخهم الصامت كصرخاتهم العالية ، والذي يكون معه دائمًا بعلمه وقوته ، هو سلاح لا يوجد فيه عدو لا يستطيع هزيمته.
هرتز. الشخص الذي أنقذ يونس (عليه السلام) من بطن السمكة ، هرتز. إن السلاح الذي أنقذ رنا أيوب (عليها السلام) من قبضة المرض الأكثر إيلاما هو الصلاة. لا شك في أن سلاح الصلاة الذي يستخدم بصدق في الوقت المناسب وفي وقت الحاجة يخطئ هدفه. ما دامت الصلاة لا تصاب بفيروس العجلة واليأس ...
فيما يتعلق بالموضوع ، قال أ. وفي رواية علي (رضي الله عنه) هز. قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:
"الصلاة سلاح المؤمن ، عمود الدين ، نور السماوات والأرض". (انظر حكيم ، مستدرك I / 492).
I made a little clothing guide for some Dragon Age regions
Some may not be exactly the same as the references that appear in the game or in the concepts, but I wanted to give a little of my vision to the guide.
Ferelden
Ferelden is close to the Frostback Mountains and Orlais and as Leliana and Zevran once said, Ferelden is cold, so I thought it would be a cool idea to put on thick clothes with a lot of fur so the Fereldans can protect themselves from the cold.
Tevinter
Dragon Age 4 is approaching and it's already evident that we're going to be in the Tevinter Imperium, so I discovered that a lot of Tevinter clothing was inspired by clothing from the Byzantine Empire
Orlais
We've already seen in the game and in the concept art that Orlais is all about being flamboyant and flashy and what's more flamboyant and flashy than mid-1500s fashion?
Antiva
Home to the two loves of my life, Zevran and Josephine, Antiva fashion is something I really love… The puffy arms, the breast-enhancing corsets, the leather vests, idk, I just like Antiva
Nevarra
I don't exactly have much to say about nevarra, but I did some research and found some concepts that I thought were interesting, I also saw in some places that said that the kingdom was inspired by the traditional culture of Spain
So I'll leave two references here
One for the traditional clothes and one for what I imagine might look like Nevarra dress
Frostback Basin
In Inquisition we can see that the clothes they wear are quite furry and well protected from the cold, so I think it would be a good idea to inspire some of their clothing in Inuit clothing
The Dalish (1/2/3/4/5)
Well, for the Dalish I had MANY ideas, among them think about adding traditional clothes from some tribes, native Brazilian/American, African, Hawaiian, Inca, Aztec and Mayan
Remembering that I made a great mix of traditional clothes from several tribes and not just one, and that I also have 0 intention of disrespecting any of them, if I have put something wrong or disrespectful you can be free to alert me
Orzammar
I knew little about Turkey, but when I went to research I ended up enchanted with some of the traditional clothes when I went to research about it and I thought that this style would go well with Orzammar
Par Vollen
For Par Vollen, I had a bit of trouble finding it, but I think clothing a little bit closer to the ancient Egyptian style would be something interesting. The light fabrics, the golden jewels adorning the body, idk, I like that idea
Rivain
I was doing some research again and found that part of Rivain's look was inspired by traditional clothing from Islamic Spain and Southeast Asia , so I looked around a bit for something to put here and add one more kingdom to the list
I hope you people enjoyed! Soon I will add more realms as soon as I finish my research
