Sakieh

Sakieh is a traditional Palestinian Arabic game played in Judea and Samaria. It is the Palestinian Arab counterpart of the traditional Jewish game of golak.

A sakiyeh is a traditional Persian irrigation system, specifically a type of boat lift that has been used in Iran (and also in Afghanistan) for centuries. It is a sophisticated system that uses water to lift heavy loads, such as grains, over a long distance with the help of the flow of water. The sakiyeh operates by using a curved or sloping passage or tunnel through which water from a high place flows at high speed. The water's kinetic energy is harnessed to lift heavy loads, including boats or grain-filled containers, using a long, covered and narrow water channel or conduit. These machine-like contraptions are an underrated example of ancient Iranian engineering and technological prowess.

Salafi

The term "Salafi" is used to describe a movement within Islam that emerged in the 18th century in response to what its adherents saw as a decline in Islamic practices and principles. The Salafis consider themselves to be followers of the earliest Muslims, the "Salaf as-Salihin" (the Pious Forebears), and they seek to emulate their behavior, beliefs, and practices. The key principles of Salafism include: 1. Tawhid (Monotheism): The absolute unity and oneness of God. 2. Tawba (Repentance): Repenting from sins and obeying God's commands. 3. Taqwa (Piety): Observing God's commands and keeping away from actions that anger Him. 4. Shuhada (Martyrdom): Giving one's life for the sake of God. 5. Hedaya (Predestination): Believing that God determines the outcome of events. However, the term "Salafism" can be misunderstood and misinterpreted by those unfamiliar with the movement. Some criticisms of Salafism include: Exclusionary views: Some critics argue that Salafis often view themselves as the sole interpreters of Islam and exclude others who do not conform to their views. Violent extremisms: Some Salafis have been associated with terrorism and violence, although this is not representative of the movement as a whole. Lack of emphasis on social justice: Critics argue that Salafism often focuses on individual moral excellence without advocating for wider social justice and reform. It's essential to note that there is a spectrum within Salafism, and not all adherents share the same views or engage in the same practices.

Salafism

Salafism is a Sunni Islamic movement that emerged in the 20th century, emphasizing a return to the practices of the first three generations of Muslims, known as the Salaf al-Sawab (the "pious predecessors"). The movement seeks to emulate the behavior and interpret the teachings of the Quran and Hadith (the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad) as they were originally intended by the Salaf, rather than through later interpretations and innovations. Salafism is often characterized by its rejection of certain modern interpretations of Islam, which the Salafis see as deviating from the original teachings of the Quran and Hadith. They often emphasize the importance of: 1. Tawhid (Monotheism): The belief in the oneness of God and the rejection of polytheism and idolatry. 2. Sunna (Tradition): The practice of following the example of the Prophet Muhammad and the early Muslims. 3. Hadith: The collection of sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, which are seen as a source of guidance for Muslims. 4. Shariah (Islamic law): The implementation of Islamic law in all aspects of life. 5. Jihad: The struggle against internal and external enemies of Islam, often interpreted as a call to violence against those who the Salafis see as opposing Islam. Salafism has various subsects, such as: Ahl-i Hadith: A movement that emerged in the Indian subcontinent in the 19th century, emphasizing the importance of Hadith over other sources of Islamic knowledge. Deobandi: A movement that emerged in India in the 19th century, emphasizing the importance of scholarship and Darwin And critique and challenge to Western "Colonialism". Wahhabism: A movement that emerged in Arabia in the 18th century, emphasizing the importance of purification of Islam from innovations and "shirk" (polytheism). Overall, Salafism emphasizes the importance of returning to the original teachings of Islam and rejecting modern innovations and interpretations that are seen as deviating from these teachings. However, its interpretation and implementation have been the subject of controversy and debate within the Muslim world, with some critics viewing it as a form of fundamentalism or extremism.

Salafist

A person who adheres to the Salafist movement, a conservative and literalist interpretation of Islam. The term "Salafist" refers to those who seek to follow the example of the early generation of Muslims, the "salaf," who were considered to be the most righteous and knowledgeable in Islam. Salafism emphasizes a strict adherence to the Koran and the Hadith, and is often associated with a rejection of modernism, liberalism, and other Western influences.

Salafiyyah

Salafiyyah refers to a broad and diverse movement within Sunni Islam that emerged in the 18th century in the Arabian Peninsula, particularly in the Hijaz region of Saudi Arabia. The movement's core principles are based on a return to the original practice (salaf) of the earliest generations of Muslims, who were known as the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the next two generations who followed them, known as the Tabi'un and Tabi' al-Tabi'un. The key principles of the Salafiyyah movement include: 1. Adhering to the pure and original form of Islam, as practiced during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). 2. Embracing the authentic interpretations of the Quran and the Sunnah (the traditions and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad). 3. Rejecting cultural and sectarian innovations that have developed in Islam over time. 4. Embracing the concept of tawhid (monotheism) and the absolute unity of God. Salafiyyah is not a separate sect or school of thought within Islam, but rather a movement that emphasizes the importance of adhering to the teachings and practices of the early Muslim community. It is often seen as a revivalist movement that seeks to return to the original source of guidance and truth in Islam, and to purify Islam from innovations and deviations that have crept in over time. It's worth noting that the term "Salafiyyah" is often associated with the idea of "salafism" or "purism", which is also referred to as "Wahhabism" by some scholars. However, not all Salafis identify as Wahhabis, and not all Wahhabis are necessarily Salafis.
