Claims of islamic science are popular and very often. spinning wheel is credited as a "Muslim invention". They even say it "automated" cotton spinning.

Now we will analyze how much Muslims contributed to the development of spining wheel and the development of the overall textiles industry.

Here is a list of looms made by the British 1

Mahmud of Ghazni

"Mahmud utterly ruined the prosperity of the country, by which the Hindus became like atoms of dust scattered in all directions, and like a tale of old in the mouth of the people." Alberuni's India, p.22.

1576

An interesting incident during the Battle of Haldighati. Akbar sent Raja Man Singh and Asaf Khan against Rana Pratap of Mewar in 1576. There were Rajput soldiers (Hindu) on both sides; those under Rana Pratap were fighting the ones under Raja Man Singh. At one stage in the fierce struggle, Badaoni asked Asaf Khan how he could distinguish between the friendly and the enemy Rajputs. Asaf Khan replied: "Shoot at whomsoever you like, on whichever side they may be killed, it will be a gain to Islam."

Wahhabism

Saudi is called a Wahhabi state. But is does not call itself Wahhabi. Have we ever heard it say so? The media call terrorists Wahhabis, but the terrorists do not call themselves Wahhabis, just Muslims.

Therefore what is the significance of this term today? It's the sycophancy and political correctness of media and doctorate scholars and rookie scholars; they just don't want to call Muslims who commit Islamic crimes as "Muslims".

This same thing is true for people who the media describe as "Salafis", "Salafists", Islamists, "jihadists", "radical Islamic extremists", "radical Islamist extremists" which is full of redundant terms, or ultimately "violent extremists" to get rid of the I-word completely.

Contraceptives

This issue has some contradictions in sharia.

• there is no blame to use condoms, but with wife's consent and as long as such a use will not make harm. As for using other contraceptives such as tablets, injections and loops, those are not to be used except in case of proven or semi-proven necessity.^[1]

• Darul Uloom issued a fatwa that a condom can be used by a man only if his wife is unwell or too weak to bear a child.^[2]
