In the past before the arrival of any Abrahamic religion the kurdish ancestors used to worship the sun... that's true and a lot of people because of that claim that the sun in the kurdish flag is haram as it represents worship to the sun though that is far from the truth

In surah Ash-Shams (Arabic: سورة الشمس) allah ( god ) swears by the sun despite god having no equal and humans not meant to swear by anything other than gods name and that also only in extreme circumstances and not just whenever someone wants to

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا

“By the sun and its brightness,

and by the moon when it follows it.”

In this context god has given glory to its creation ( that being the sun ), and just as one could say, the sun in the kurdistan flag represents sun worshippers, one could say that it's to honor what god has created and swore by. The kurdish flag was created way after the arrival of islam and the end of sun worshippers, by the time the kurdish flag was created, the majority of kurds had already become muslim, so to say that it is to represent the sun worshippers, is a statement with no logic and evidence

The kurdish flag that represents kurdistan is NOT haram for the muslim kurds, and it is a flag that represents all those who support an independent kurdistan

Even islamic scholars agree with the idea that the sun in the kurdish flag is to honor god

Al-Ghazali wrote that creation reflects signs of divine wisdom, and contemplating things like the sun, stars, and nature can elevate a person spiritually.

Ibn Rushd argued that studying and appreciating creation helps people understand truth and order.

Ibn Arabi often described the universe as a mirror of divine signs, where created things can symbolize spiritual realities.

This is the full verse:

وَالشَّمْسِ وَضُحَاهَا

وَالْقَمَرِ إِذَا تَلَاهَا

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا جَلَّاهَا

وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَاهَا

وَالسَّمَاءِ وَمَا بَنَاهَا

وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا طَحَاهَا

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا

English translation:

“By the sun and its brightness,

and by the moon when it follows it,

and by the day when it displays it,

and by the night when it covers it,

and by the sky and He who built it,

and by the earth and He who spread it,

and by the soul and He who proportioned it,

then inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness,

successful is the one who purifies it,

and failed is the one who corrupts it.”

my mom has roots from sanandaj / sine in western iran and said she has got this dress from there many years ago. is this a kurdish attire?

As the title says. What the hell is wrong with them and what can we do to counter them?
I see them as a danger to our ancient culture.

The kurdish slogan does not apply to every single women on this planet especially the women who oppose an independent kurdistan or support the oppression and killing of kurdish women, the slogan was made by kurds and it's kurdish, freedom for kurdish women is an independent kurdistan and if you don't like it then you're not entitled to this slogan, I've seen so many persians proudly say zin, zindgi izadi and they keep going back to the same hocus-pocus nonsense that we shouldn't devide the country and kurds deserve rights in the country, NO!. Kurdish independence is the only true rights given to kurds and end of discussion. You people don't deserve to take the slogan and use it as yours AND IT DOESN'T APPLY TO ANY OF YOU WHO DON'T SUPPORT AN INDEPENDENT KURDISTAN

Hi it’s my dad’s birthday soon, and we just noticed that he doesn’t have any pics of his dad up (passed away decades ago). Before we go colourising and framing a portrait of my grandfather I just wanted to double check whether I’m missing out on the reason why my dad never has pics of his family up. I was Born in the west and my dad has lived here for most of his adult life now so I’m a little detached from the norms.

HI, as you could tell I am from kurdistan (bashur/slemani), last year ago I did a thing which I DIDN'T EXPECT to be this catastrophic, last year I am was discussing with my religion teacher on why statements that were made by "mohamad" the "prophet",

in a hadith mohamad said "a fly has a wing that carries diseases and another one carries the cure" NOW LISTEN I am someone who is very very intersteded in science and biology, and I did my research and I had some beforehand knowledge, and I knew this was incorrect, so I told my teacher and I said that it simply isn't true*explained it to him*, and I told him to do some research-

!!!!!
and

OMGH, what I haven't realized that, that was the moment that will fuck the next 2 years of my life in that school and in general, have I always been this oblivion to HOW fucking fascist fucking islam is?!, WOW, they didn't not hold back either, first of all the teacher was being very ignorant not even trying to discuss, it was like he set his mind and he is NEVER changing it, wow I still remember 100 students in the hall way following us(me and the teacher), I thought it was funny at first, until next day is when I realized whatever the fuck was happening was not cute nor funny , these people ARE SO SHOCKED by someone not even being an ATHEIST but just by DISCUSSING islamic ideologies, WOW they got really aggresive, threating me, "bullying" me, and whatever the fuck not,

, I was so stressed and anxious for that whole year of my life even at my own safe space **I know this rlly sounds fucking funny n embrasisng but it was really extreme* and OMGH I am so senstive aswell, so it was like a big fucking shit was shitted on me everyday.

and I also wanted to make sure if this wasn't personal, I realized they were also after the only other two "atheist"*they fucking surrounded those bitches too*

so no this wasn't a "personal" attack

it was an attack because I didn't believe their fucking fairy wonderland story

mind you I never said anything possibly diserepectful to islam I was just discussing with my teacher,

*** awhile later I made a joke with my friends saying I am a "zardashti" AND FUCKIN WOW, A JOKE TURNED INTO BIG FCKING THING, it was like the smallest thing I do or did just became known in the whole school, and the teachers being very much islamic with them saying "bismallah, isshallah, etc......"*not even in typical amounts, it was like they had two main job one being a scholar and the other being a teacher**

!!!!

btw my langauge(kurdish) teacher, said they also don't belive in god

.........let's say he also didn't expect this fucking diabolic shit to happen to him too

**note; the students re rlly fucking conservative *ladaiy hiz ;3,**they threatend the fucking teacher too, the news was also all over the school that he was an atheiest and they trash talked so much, it mentally degraded him too, he spend the next year just trying to get the students back to respecting him, by showing his knowleadge and I actually loved his approach, he was being very careful aswell**

that was grade 10

**their was a whole a lot of propagandas about me too because if someone is already on the bad spotlight then why the fuck not spread lies to even shit on that person more**

now it is grade 11

I cleared most of the motherfuckers up, it actually changed me so much as a person I can defend and speak the fuck up, and I honestly just become so fuck-free of society

first semester was one of my best school years in my whole life

so thanks ig ;3

but this 2nd semester they started doing a lil too much again, I did my talk back they seem to a bit better, they re still annoying and I am expecting much more to come ngl

they also did this weird thing where they want to discuss with me(they were fucking talking about how "ali osman" went to the 12th ozone layer"LIKE HUH LOL,

I just realized how fucking dumb retarded and uncultured these people are so thanks ,and I actually used to be okay with islam(even sometimes I felt comfortable saying I am a muslim, I used to even aby by some of the rules) but now i hate it to the fucking brim, I hope they all either quit this stupid shit or go to Afghanistan, and kill all these money/dick sucking scholars

this was a really weird part of period for me and it made me grow a lot and I have a strong mind that can't be easily manipulated, they were 300 students all on top of me, I lost all my friends, my family started getting on me too, people on my block also started getting aggressive with me, BUT.....;3, I set everyone back in their place mf doggy pot and now I have my head high strong as ever, got better set of friends, fixed my family issues, and the other ones, but the retarded students re still trying to do a lil much

***I've never thought being anything else other than a muslim as kurd is considerated such a big controversy, and a taboo, if you re not muslim you re below them and less smart and easy to converted, you re less respected and less accepeted, not seen as a complete human, disable

I've learnt so much from this and wow it really changed me a lot, so much at once

and the funny thing is muslim people re more disrespectful to other people especially people with diffrences and MUCH less accepting of change

I've seen them make fun of mentally disabled indviuals

recently some of them came to me to "discuss" but we did talk, and obv they re being weird as usual, I gave an idea *highly doubt their two braincells even able to processes anything other fan fairyland*, but I did something diffrent, I told them I am a person who belives in freedom and free thinking, I said you're so okay if you belive in whatever as long as you're not trying to hurt ppl, I told them I am very okay and open and I think islam is really a good religon and it is okay to belive, but I also gave some points on why I don't belive in it

okay that was it their is only 2 weeks left for summer

I feel embrassing wrting this cause it sounds like I am a pathetic anti-social person without any self respect and I easily allow ppl walk over me, but no I am very fun and I have my boundries most definetly, I am never scared at all I talk back, even though if I am going to get hurt idc.

it is fucking funny in a very retarded way, and I know some muslim motherfucker re looking at my post

could you tell me what do girls get in heaven, if men get hores then what do girls get?
if god is all powerful than why he made you to pray to it?

why should girls hijab, it is cause men re predatory, but in other countries naked beaches exist and no one is harassing anybody?

......;3 fuck allah n islam

شاماران خواوەندێکی مێینەی دێرینی کوردیە کە بە زۆری لە باکوری کوردستاندا ناسراوە. لە ناو خەڵکدا وا باوە کە شاماران خواوەندی زانین و پارێزەری نهێنیەکانە. بەسەرهاتی شاماران بە گشتی لە باکوری کوردستاندا بڵاوە و خەڵک زۆر پێی ئاشنایە. بەجۆرێک کە لە هەندێک ناوچەدا وێنەکەی لە ژووری نوستنی کچی لاو و ژناندا هەڵدەواسرێت.
پێکهاتەی ناوی شاماران کوردیە و لە هەمان کاتدا بنەچەیەکی دێرینی هەیە. ناوە لێکدراوەکە پێکهاتووە لە (شا+مار+ان).
بەسەرهاتەکەی دەڵێت:
“ڕۆژێ لە ڕۆژان کوڕێک دەبێت کە ناوی تامەسپ دەبێت. ئەو کوڕە قۆز و باڵابەرز دەبێت و کوڕی خێزانێکی هەژار دەبێت و کاری داربڕینەوە دەکات. ڕۆژێکیان کاتێک بۆ داربڕینەوە دەڕواتە دارستان، لەوێ لەپڕ دەکەوێتە ناو بیرێکەوە و لەوێدا عاسی دەبێت و ناتوانێت بێتە دەرەوە. کاتێک کە تامەسپ لە هاتنە دەرەوە بێ هیوا دەبێت، کونێک لە دیواری بیرەکەدا دەدۆزێتەوە و بە چەقۆکەی کونەکە گەورە دەکات و لەو کونەوە دەچێتە ئەشکەوتێکی گەورەوە. لەوێدا بە نائومێدی دەمێنێتەوە هەتاوەکو خەوێ لێدەکەوێت.
کاتێک کە بە ئاگا دێت، هەزاران مار لە دەوری دەبینێت. مارەکان چاوی تێدەبڕن و کاتێک کە دەبینن تامەسپ دەبزوێت، هەموویان دەکەونە جوڵە بەرەو ڕووی. تامەسپ ئەزانێت کە ئەو هەموو مارە هەر دەیکوژن و ناتوانێت لێیان دەرباز ببێت، بۆیە چاوەکانی دادەخات و دەستدەکات بە پاڕانەوە لە خوا. ماوەیەک چاوەڕوان دەکات، لە کۆتاییدا ورە دەداتە خۆی و چاوی دەکاتەوە. کە چاوی دەکاتەوە، دەبینێت ئافرەتێکی زۆر جوان کە نیوەی مارە و نیوەی مرۆڤە، بەرامبەری ڕاوەستاوە. زۆر لەوە سەری دەسوڕمیێت و هیچ قسەی بۆ ناکرێت. ئافرەتەکە بە تامەسپ دەڵێت “مەترسە، ئازارت نادەم، من شامارانم، شاژنی مارەکان؛ ئێستاکە تۆ میوانی منیت و کاتی ئەوە هاتووە تۆ بحەوێیتەوە؛ سبەی قسە دەکەین” و بەو جۆرە بەجێی دەهێڵێت. تامەسپ وا هەست دەکات کە خەو ببینێت، بۆیە چاوی دادەخات و دەنوێت.
بەیانیەکەی، کاتێک کە تامەسپ لەخەو هەڵدەستێت دەبینێت کە شاماران دانیشتووە و لەبەردەمیدا نانی بەیانی ڕازێنراوەتەوە. ئەمجا شاماران بانگی دەکات بۆ سەر خوانەکە. تامەسپ زۆر لە دیمەنی شاماران سەری دەسوڕمێت و حەزی لێدەکات. بە درێژایی ماوەکە تامەسپ چاوی لەسەر شاماران ناجوڵێنێت. بەو جۆرە نانی بەیانی بەیەکەوە دەخۆن. شاماران زۆر زانا و شارەزای نهێنیەکانی دنیا دەبێت و بەسەرهاتی جیاوازی لادەبێت، بۆیە چیرۆکی دروستبوونی مرۆڤ بۆ تامەسپ باس دەکات و دوای ئەوە، هەر جارە و بەسەرهاتێکی بۆ دەگێڕێتەوە. تامەسپیش هەمیشە حەز لە چیرۆکەکان دەکات و بە تامەزرۆییەوە گوێیان بۆ ڕادەدێرێت. ڕۆژان دێ و دەڕوا و ڕۆژ لە دوای ڕۆژ زیاتر حەز لەیەکتری دەکەن.
دوای ماوەیەکی زۆر، تامەسپ تاقەتی دەچێت بۆ کەسوکاری و دەیەوێت بگەڕێتەوە بۆ ناو خەڵکەکەی. شاماران حەز ناکات کە ڕێی بدات بڕوات. بەڵام لە هەمان کاتدا، شاماران پێی ناخۆش دەبێت کە ئەو بە دڵتەنگی ببینێت و بڕیار دەدات کە ڕێ بە تامەسپ بدات بڕوات. شاماران دەڵێت “من ڕێت پێدەدەم کە بڕۆیت بەڵام دەبێت گفتم پێ بدەیت نهێنی ئەم شوێنەی من بە کەس نەڵێیت” ئەمجا ئامۆژگاری دەکات کە لەبەردەم خەڵکی تردا خۆی نەشوات، دەنا بە بەرکەوتنی ئاو، پێستەکەی وەک کاژی ماری لیدێت و خەڵک بە نهێنیەکەی دەزانن.
تامەسپ دەگەڕێتەوە بۆ ناو خەڵکەکەی خۆی و بۆ چەندین ساڵ ئەو نهێنییە لە خەڵک دەشارێتەوە. ڕۆژێک پاشای وڵات تووشی نەخۆشییەکی کوشندە دەبێت. وەزیر کە کەسێکی پیاوخراپە، دەڵێت تەنها چارەسەر خواردنی گۆشتی شامارانە. بۆیە وەزیر فەرمان دەدات بە هەمووان کە بچنە ناو حەوزێ ئاوەوە بۆ ئەوەی بزانرێت کێ شوێنی شاماران دەزانێت. وەزیر لەم هەوڵەی مەبەستی لەوە نیە خزمەتی پاشا بکات، بەڵکو بەهۆی خواردنی شامارانەوە دەخوازێت هەموو نهێنی و زانینی جیهانی دەستبکەوێت.
سەرەتا تامەسپ نایەوێت کە بچێتە ناو حەوزەکەوە بۆ ئەوەی کە بتوانێت نهێنیەکەی شاماران بپارێزێت. بەڵام چارەی نامێنێت و سەربازەکان هەڵیدەدەنە ناو ئاوەکە و پێستی تامەسپ دەبێت بە کاژی مار و دەستبەجێ نهێنیەکەی ئاشکرا دەبێت. دوای ئەوە، سەربازەکان گورج دەستگیری دەکەن و دەیخەنە ژێر ئەشکەنجەوە بۆ ئەوەی کە شوێنی شامارانیان بۆ ئاشکرا بکات. هەرچەندە تامەسپ دەیەوێت کە نهێنیەکانیان پێ نەڵێت، بەڵام لە کۆتاییدا ناچاردەکرێت کە شوێنەکە ئاشکرا بکات.
ئەمجا سەربازەکان دەچن بۆ ناو بیرەکە و شاماران لەوێ دەگرن. کاتێک کە تامەسپ شاماران دەبینێت، هەست بە شەرمەزاریەکی زۆر دەکات، بەڵام شاماران پێی دەڵێت کە لۆمەی خۆی نەکات و هەڵەی ئەو نەبووە. شاماران پیلانێک دادەنێت بۆ ئەوەی کە نهێنی و زاناییەکەی بدات بە تامەسپی خۆشەویستی. بۆیە شاماران لە کۆشکی پاشادا ڕایدەگەیەنێت “هەرکەس کلکم بخوات ئەوا هەموو نهێنی و زاناییەک وەردەگرێت و ئەوەی کە لەشم بخوات چاکدەبێتەوە و ئەوەی سەرم بخوات دەستبەجێ دەمرێت”
ئەمجا دوای ئەوەی کە وەزیر ئەوەی گوێ لیدەبێت، شاماران دەکاتە سێ بەشەوە و فەرمان دەدات کە ئەو سێ بەشە بکوڵێنرێت. کاتێک کە گۆشتەکە دەکوڵێت، وەزیرە پیاوخراپەکە لە کلکی دەخوات، تامەسپیش کە خۆی بە تاوانبار دەزانێت بەرامبەر بەشاماران و دەیەوێت بمرێت، لە سەرەکەی دەخوات و پاشاش بۆ چاکبوونەوە لە لەشەکەی دەخوات. پیلانەکەی شاماران کار دەکات و دەستبەجێ وەزیرە پیاوخراپەکە دەمرێت، پاشا چاکدەبێتەوە و تامەسپ هەموو زانایی و نهێنیەکانی شاماران وەردەگرێت و دەبێتە لوقمانی حەکیم؛ ئەو حەکیمەی کە گیا و درەختەکان گۆرانی بۆ دەڵێن و نهێنیە پزیشکییەکانی خۆیانی بۆ دەخەنە ڕوو. لە هەمان کاتدا دوای مردنی شاماران، ڕۆحەکەی دەگوێزرێتەوە بۆ کچەکەی.

Step into the gallery of the Tennessee State Museum today, and your eyes will land on a display that breaks the classic Music City mold. A display of traditional instruments, historic photographs, and a brightly colored Kurdistan flag recounts the story of one man who spent nearly three decades building a bridge between two worlds. That man is Arkan Jassim Mohammed, known throughout the community as Arkan Doski.
