I am glad EMJ got an honorable mention. Aside from his viewing everything from the Catholic lens, he is a courageous man and a much needed scholar of our time.
Remember that with Chinese money, though they had paper money, they also had metal coins, which were circular with a square cut-out in the center. This symbolically is the symbolism of Heaven and earth on their coinage, which goes in Guénon's favor - that he doesn't mention it is likely because of his (in)famous brevity
Dear Dr Ahmed...Thanks for your continuing commentary on "The Reign of Quantity"...Uthman Bin Fodio the 17th century west african mujjadid was also a warrior- saint.
Hello Saiyad. I'm currently in Mashhad. I made a full Ziyarah for you in your name, for expressing my gratitude for all the things I've learned from you and I will continue learning Insha Allah. Hope it will be accepted. Just wanted to let you know
interesting observation about Guenon not talking about Riba .... i think he consideres the question of riba for him a quation of morality and he didnt talk about moral issues .....
May Allah protect us from hero worship. Ameen. Peace and blessings upon Rasulallah (Salallahu Alaihai Wassalam), who like ‘Eesa (Alaihis Salaam) warned us about the evils of riba that these central bankers (moneychangers) have made so pervasive.
excellent tangent. I hate that the "right" and "conservatives" have put themself on a dialect about capitalism good and criticism of it at all = communism. As if bowing before debt and corporate overlords is the optimal state of the world.
Guénon seems to think the Templars were more akin to a major initiatic order than to a priestly caste, strictly speaking (in the same way you can be a member of a Tariqa without being part of, I don't know, the Iraqi/Iranian Shia clergy, as clerical function is partly a social/exoteric one). They did engage in banking, but I don't know if they dabbled in usury (lending money at 0% interest rate was common amongst religious organizations in the Middle Age), although it's quite likely that they did given the size of their banking activities
There are no good comprehensive works in English. If you just want an accessible treatment of the doctrine of the imamate, you may read this: The Way of Nobility: Knowledge of the Imam.

I dont think the knights templar ever did usury, they charged fees so banking and sending money from a to be but not loans with interest. They were also definitely monks before knights as well, they were an order of monks who prayed many times a day, fasted and nourished their souls in a way far in excess of moderns and even clergy of today.
Thank you for this enlightening video Dr. Ahmad. Can you kindly make videos suitable for the playlist Occult Sciences and Quranic Thuergy? Is it possible for you to make videos on Ilm al Huroof or Ilm jafar (I think that's what it is called if I am not mistaken?) like the videos that you had made on 'wiqf' or magic squares, invocations of divine names and their effects for various problems in life, some videos on ruhaniyat. I am a 'practicing' sunni muslim. But your videos on shii islam, philosophy, and many other non-mainstream topics have opened a whole new world for me and intrigued my interest. Thank you for your sincere efforts and May Allah SWT make you live and see the reign of Imam Mahdi. Ameen.
Thank you very much for watching. I will be looking at many new video ideas next year, in shāʾ Allāh. My priority now is to finish the Rene Guenon Reign of Quantity lectures.
I watched the whole 16 parts! Need more!!!!!!

He truly is.
