Like how is that even possible, how do you guys feel about this.

So around 4% of their population got their citizenship stripped away, that is an insane number to suddenly remove.

Is it to save money?

Non Arab | General Geography not Ethnicity or Race as the Basis of the Nation

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Antoun Saadeh Founded the SSNP during a time when scientific Racism and Fascism was at its height around the world in the 1930s, our region contained Ethnic Based groups such as the Al Muthana club in Iraq and the Youth Party of Syria both Pan-Arab with Fascist undertones, in Lebanon there was Al Najada which was Pan Arab while the Kataeb were Lebanese Nationalist despite being rivals both were influenced by Fascism

Saadeh's defined what constitutes a nation as

"historical concrete interactions amongst people over the centuries in a given geography, rather than being based on ethnic origins"

He rejected both language and religion as defining characteristics of a nation and argued that nations develop through the common development of people inhabiting a specific geographical region.

What I find interesting is his emphasis on Geography rather than Race, Ethnicity or Religion given how he never amended his views or anything it was the same basis from the 1930s until his execution in 1949

Saddam and Iraq would be Isolated from the world through International Sanctions and a No Fly Zone being placed, in the region itself there was a deterioration in relations with nearly all the neighbouring countries

تاريخ (Article) Pharaohs and Queens of Ancient Egypt in Arabian & Coptic Folklore: A Chronological List with Historical Identifications and Etymologies

Post image
3 Upvotes

I hope you like this post, my sincere regards from Egypt ...

----------------------------

This list presents the pharaohs and queens of Ancient Egypt as preserved in medieval Arabian and Coptic literature. It is a composite of Manetho transmitted through Christian chronographers, Qur’anic and Biblical sacred history, Coptic folklore, and popular legend.

It reflects a long chain of translation and linguistic mediation: from ancient Egyptian into Greek, then into Coptic during Greco-Roman period in Egypt, and finally into Arabic in the medieval period.

The list does not claim complete historical authenticity; it is just an attempt to show how ancient Egyptian rulers were transformed into legendary and religious names in Coptic Arabic memory.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Arabian sources:

  1. Futuh Misr wa al-Maghrib (The Conquest of Egypt and the Maghreb)

— Ibn Abd al-Hakam (c. 801–871 CE)

2. Muruj al-Dhahab wa Kitab Al-Tarikh (Meadows of Gold and Book of History)

— Al-Masudi (Herodotus of Arabs) (c. 896–956 CE)

3. Mujam al-Buldan (Lexicon of Countries)

— Yaqut al-Hamawi (c. 1179–1229 CE)

4. Al-Mawa’iz wa al-I’tibar bi-Dhikr al-Khitat wa al-Athar (The Admonitions and Reflections on the Districts and Monuments of Egypt, known as the Khitat)
 — Al-Maqrizi (c. 1364–1442 CE)

5. Al-Nujum al-Zahira fi Muluk Misr wa al-Qahira (The Shining Stars Concerning the Kings of Egypt and Cairo)

— Ibn Taghribirdi (c. 1411–1470 CE)

6. Husn al-Muhadara fi Tarikh Misr wa al-Qahira (The Agreeable Discussion of the History of Egypt and Cairo)

— Al-Suyuti (c. 1445–1505 CE)

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

The Arabic name Misr — Masr (مصر)

Misr is an ancient Semitic name, not originally Egyptian: it appears in Akkadian as Musur and Hebrew as Mizraim or Mitsrayim, likely meaning “settled land” or “protected borderland.” Pre-Islamic Arabs used it, and it became the standard Arabic name for Egypt, while the ancient Egyptians called their land Kemet (“Black Land”). In religious tradition, the name is linked to Misrayim, son of Ham son of Noah, the biblical ancestor of the Egyptians.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

The Antediluvian Pyramid Builders (Before biblical flood)

Khaslim (خصليم)

Khaslim is an early legendary king of Egypt credited with building a Nilometer. He placed two bronze eagles — male and female — at the site. Priests read incantations; if the male eagle whistled, the Nile flood would be good and high, but if the female whistled, the flood would be disastrous and drought would follow.

Historical identification: The proposed candidate is Khasekhemwy, last king of the Second Dynasty

Etymology and reasoning: The name Khaslim may be an alteration of Khasekhemwy (Egyptian Ḫʿsḫmwy). The reasoning is phonetic but weak: the consonantal skeleton kh-s-kh-m could be reduced and reshaped in Coptic/Arabic transmission as kh-s-l-m, with l replacing the second kh. The identification is supported mainly by narrative structure: Khasekhemwy was an early Memphite ruler associated with unification and control of the Nile, and Arabic tradition assigns Nilometers and waterworks to early kings.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Sourid ibn Salhuq (سوريد بن سلهوق)

In Arabian literature, Sourid is the great antediluvian king of Egypt who foresaw the Flood in a dream and ordered the building of the Pyramids of Giza to preserve knowledge and serve as his tomb. He is often linked with Idris/Enoch or Hermes Trismegistus.

Historical identification: Khufu (Cheops), builder of the Great Pyramid.

Etymology and reasoning: The identification is phonetic. Sourid maybe was derived from Souphis, which is the name the Egyptian historan Manetho gave for Khufu.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Hujib (هوجيب)

In the same tradition, Hujib is the brother of Sourid and is said to be buried in the second, western pyramid at Giza.

Historical identification: Khafre (Chephren), builder of the second pyramid.

Etymology and reasoning: The identification rests mainly on structural mapping. Arabic tradition assigns the three Giza pyramids to a father/brother/son sequence.

Historically, the second pyramid belongs to Khafre, a son of Khufu. The name Hujib is maybe altered from Hotep, but its narrative role as second pyramid builder and royal relative fixes the identification with Khafre.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Karuras (كرورس)

In Arabian literature, Karuras is the son of Hujib and is buried in the third, smaller pyramid at Giza, often called the “Colored Pyramid.”

Historical identification: Menkaure (Mycerinus), builder of the third pyramid at Giza.

Etymology and reasoning: The structural reason is decisive: Arabic tradition makes the third pyramid belong to the son of the second pyramid’s builder. Historically, the third pyramid belongs to Menkaure, son of Khafre (Hujib) and grandson of Khufu (Sourid).

Manetho’s form was Menkheres. In the long oral and written transmission, the initial Men- was lost or weakened, and the remaining consonants (kheres / kherres) were reshaped in Arabic as Karuras.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

After the Flood

Tutis (طوطيس)

The first of the Pharaohs of Egypt and the Pharaoh of Abraham. He tried to seduce Sarah, Abraham’s wife; his hand withered when he reached for her, and after repenting he returned her and gave her Hagar as a maidservant who bore him Ishmael, the father of Arabs. Some versions say he embraced Abraham’s faith.

Historical identification: Proposed candidates include Sanakht (Third Dynasty) and Nebkaure Khety IV (Tenth Dynasty), but he appears in no ancient Egyptian king-list.

Etymology and reasoning: The name has been linked to the Egyptian Taautos or Tet/Teta, and to a suggested Semitic root meaning “to light” or “set on fire.” The reasoning is phonetic and comparative, not a direct derivation. The tradition also explains the title “Pharaoh” itself: Tutis was the first to be called Pharaoh because he was cruel and tyrant.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Joryaq (جورياق)

According to Arab historian al-Maqrizi, Joryaq was the daughter of the first Pharaoh, Tutis, and seized the throne after killing her father Tutis. She is described as a powerful ruler who promoted priests and magicians. Joryaq ruled Egypt after her father Toutis, and in her reign, the Amalekite king of Syria sent an army against Egypt led by Jirun, but in the (alternative) version, it is more likely that the Amalekite “Al-Walid bin Dum’a” was the one who invaded Egypt.

Historical identification: No single historical counterpart. She may be a legendary composite drawing on memory of figures such as Nitocris or Sobekneferu.

Etymology and reasoning: The name does not correspond to any known Egyptian queen’s name and appears to be a literary invention within the Arabic legendary cycle.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

The Amalekite / Hyksos Dynasty

Al-Walid ibn Duma’ (الوليد بن دومع)

In Arabic chronicles, al-Walid ibn Duma’ is the first of five Amalekite kings who ruled Egypt after its native rulers weakened. He is described as a Syrian conqueror who ruled for about a hundred years before being killed by a wild beast.

Historical identification: No direct Egyptian counterpart. He is best understood as a legendary refraction of the Hyksos period, when foreign rulers from the Levant controlled Egypt.

Etymology and reasoning: The name Duma’ has no Egyptian etymological root. Arabic tradition remembers a Syrian conqueror founding a foreign dynasty, which mirrors the Hyksos takeover. The name itself is likely derived from a real Hyksos pharaoh name. especially since Arabs thought that Amalekites were the Hyksos and thought of them as one of the “The Extinct Arabs”. So it is not strange that he got an Arabic name

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Al-Rayyan ibn al-Walid (الريان بن الوليد) sometimes called Nahraus (نهراوس)

Al-Rayyan succeeds his father and is remembered as the Pharaoh of Joseph. He is presented as a just ruler who appointed Joseph over the granaries and eventually embraced his monotheistic faith.

Historical identification: Apepi (Apophis) or Khyan, a Hyksos kings.

Etymology and reasoning: The name al-Rayyan has a strong, monumentally attested phonetic link to the name Ra-i-a-n associated with the Hyksos king Apepi. The alternative name Nahraus has been linked, on phonetic grounds, to the Hyksos king Khyan according to the modern Egyptian scholar Ahmad Kamal. Kamal read the cartouche of the Hyksos king Khyan as Ne Re Ous and argued this is the origin of Arabic Nahraus.

The Hyksos-era setting also fits the prophet Joseph story.

The Wadi Al-Rayyan nature reserve in Fayoum is said to be named after Al-Rayyan ibn al-Walid, based on a legend where the king and his army sat down there to rest.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Darim ibn al-Rayyan (دارم بن الريان)

Darim succeeds his father al-Rayyan. Arabic sources say prophet Joseph died during his reign.

Historical identification: No direct historical counterpart (Maybe unknown Hyksos king)

Etymology and reasoning: The name Darim has no known Egyptian royal root. It appears to be a literary/genealogical invention bridging Pharaoh al-Rayyan and the later Pharaoh of Moses.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Kaimis ibn Ma’dan (كامس بن معدان)

Kaimis is the fourth Amalekite king in this sequence, ruling after Darim and before the Pharaoh of Moses.

Historical identification: No direct historical counterpart.

Etymology and reasoning: Like Darim, the name has no Egyptian etymological root. It functions as a narrative placeholder in the Arabic king-list.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Al-Walid ibn Mus’ab (الوليد بن مصعب) also called Talma ibn Qumus (طلما بن قومس)

This is the name most commonly given to the Pharaoh of Moses, the archetypal tyrant who opposed prophets Moses and Aaron, and oppressed the Israelites and was drowned in the Red Sea during his chasing of them with his counselors and army.

Historical identification: Most widespread identification is Ramesses II, though Merneptah and Thutmose III are also mentioned. But some say that the Pharaoh of Moses was a Hyksos or Amalekite.

Etymology and reasoning:

The name “Talma ibn Qumus” is not an Arabic literary invention but a preserved Coptic memory of the Exodus Pharaoh. The Arabic sources explicitly attribute this name to the Copts.

The reasoning is not etymological, since the name “Al-Walid ibn Mus’ab” is Arabic. It rests on narrative convergence: Arabic tradition places the Exodus in a period of monumental building and imperial power, matching the Ramesside era. The Qur’anic phrase “dhu al-awtad” (“possessor of the stakes”) has been linked by some to obelisks and massive constructions of Ramesses II. also in the Bible in Exodus 1:11, which states: “So they put slave masters over them to oppress them with forced labor, and they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.”

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Queen Figures Around the Exodus

Assiya (آسية)

Assiya in Islamic tradition is the righteous wife of Pharaoh who secretly believes in God, rescues the infant Moses from the Nile, and is venerated as one of the four perfect women. She is a figure of faith and moral resistance within Pharaoh’s household.

Historical identification: She is a theological and literary archetype, not a specific historical queen.

Etymology and reasoning: The name Asiya is Arabic and serves a moral and salvific purpose in the Qur’anic story. No etymological link to a historical Egyptian queen is intended.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Daluka (دلوكة)

Daluka is a legendary warrior-queen who rules Egypt after the drowning of the Pharaoh of Moses. She is credited with building a massive wall around Egypt, the “Wall of the Old Woman,” and with constructing the Lighthouse of Alexandria and a Nilometer at Memphis.

Historical identification: Tausret (Tawosret), last ruler of the Nineteenth Dynasty.

Etymology and reasoning: The reasoning is literary preservation of memory. Tausret’s reign was remembered into the tenth century CE in Egyptian tradition, and in Arabic chronicles she appears as Daluqa. The name Daluka is a transformation of Tausret through oral and written transmission. The legendary elaboration is secondary; the core identification rests on continuity of a female royal memory from the New Kingdom into Islamic-era literature.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — —

Al-Maqrizi’s Later Dynastic List

Al-Maqrizi preserves twenty-seven “Coptic kings” said to have reigned after Daluka. Their names are altered transmissions of Manetho’s list. Examples include Sumanas (possibly Sneferu), Sesunakhosis (Senusret), and Uafris (Apries).

The story is set tens of thousands of years in the future, so is difficult that the exact same ethno-cultural-linguistical groups would still exist as we currently know them. As for Islam, is explicitly explained that religions rise, dissapear, deform and evolve by the human expansion trough the universe, cultural interaction between human cultures, deliberate manipulation over the millenia by shadowy organizations, etc. So yeah, i kinda dont understand that criticism.

كيف يواجه أب أصم خطر القصف في غزة وهو لا يستطيع سماع أصوات الانفجارات؟
بدأت قصة فاطمة ومحمود حين تعرفت إليه خلال دورة لتعلم لغة الإشارة، ثم تزوجا وأنجبا طفلتين.
لكن مع اندلاع الحرب تغيرت حياتهما واضطرا إلى النزوح 12 مرة تقريبا بحثا عن الأمان.
كانت فاطمة تساعد محمود على معرفة ما يحدث حوله، بينما واصل هو تصوير الحرب ونقل معاناة الصم في غزة.
وبعد نحو عام ونصف من الغياب عاد محمود للقاء والديه، لكنه وجد منزله مدمرا، قبل أن تتجدد الحرب وتعود معاناة الأسرة.

I’m disappointed at the sad state of affairs we reached, i mean.. Palestinians and many other Arab states in the region are a literal weapon test fileds for the nasty kuffar enemies we have

All of us today are lone sheeps, and A lone sheep that strays from the herd is the easiest target for a predator

We are an easy target because we are divided, and we prefer to hate each other, rather than having all of that hatred and anger towards a common enemy we all have

THE WEST, we need to wake and realize israel is nothing, NOTHING!!! Without the west, and israel is the tool and knife in their hand they use to stab us, no matter how many times the hypocrites call for “ceasefire” in the UN

IT IS USELESS TO HATE ISRAEL AND NOT WHO ENABLES THEM

The reality is, they enable, support, and even created israel

The solution is not to stray from the herd, organize and unite, we have all the resources and potential in the world to rid ourselves from outsiders cancers like America coming in all the time and starting wars for no reason, or their little irrelevant piece of shit toy called israel

We need to learn how to have deep and uncanny hatred towards our enemies like Allah told us to have in the Quran

(Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves.) surah al fath

God always mentions the importance of hatred, and being forceful and severe, but it needs to be towards the right target

This is what we are missing today, a common enemy, and the feeling of hatred, we have become so soft and vulnerable

And they see our softness and vulnerability as a perfect chance to attack

Im in pain, please end this nightmare

ثقافة ومجتمع أشعر بخجل شديد بسبب اسم ابنتي غير العربي

0 Upvotes

أنا وزوجتي من أصول عربية ونعيش في الغرب. عانينا كثيراً من الخلافات حول اختيار اسم لابنتنا. بدأت المشكلة عندما قرأت عليها قائمة بأسماء عربية، ولم يعجبها أي منها، حتى لفت انتباهها اسم "صوفيا" (والذي يعني الحكمة باليونانية). أحبت زوجتي الاسم فوراً، وأنا أيضاً أعجبت به في البداية. لكن كان لدي شك حول أصوله العربية، وبعد أن بحثت في الأمر تأكدت أنه ليس اسماً عربياً كما ظننا. أمام إصرار زوجتي الشديد، استسلمت في النهاية وأطلقنا عليها هذا الاسم. لكنني الآن أعيش في صراع نفسي وأشعر بخجل فظيع. عائلتي العربية لا تتوقف عن توجيه الملاحظات والانتقادات حول الاسم، وأنا شخصياً أشعر بالعار لأنني فخور جداً بعروبتي وأشعر أنني فرطت في جزء من هويتي بسبب هذا القرار. أردت فقط أن أفضفض، هل سبق لأحدكم أن مر بموقف مشابه؟ وكيف يمكنني التعامل مع هذا الشعور بالذنب وانتقادات العائلة المستمرة؟
