Also: Moomin entails:
-
All infants everywhere, before adolescence.
-
Spirits (Jinn) that believe in God, though they can like humans also be called Muslim, Jew etc., Muslims always call believing Jinn “Moomins” because the good spirits (Moomins) never speak to us not reveal themselves to us, so we can’t know their religion, so they are just Moomins to us. The bad ones are Shayateen (plural of Shaytaan). These are “devils”.

The Islam of the original Makkah stage is perhaps what Fred Fish whatsisname refers to. This is actually a great way of understanding Sufism, the early Makkan surahs of the Qur’an. As l explained somewhere before, that’s one further argument against Tom Holland’s revisionism - we know each Surah as being from Makkah or Madina, so we’ve always known Makkah as Makkah, it was never secretly Jerusalem or Petra LOL! Also Madina (as Fred mentions) was originally called Yathrib and came to be called Medina when the Prophet settled there, i.e. Madinat an Nabi - “City of the Prophet”, i.e. we know where Makkah and Madina are, even if Tom Holland is clueless. Btw there are are according to Wikipedia 21 late Makkan surahs, these will be from when the Prophet moved back to Makkah and thus not “early Sufistic Islam” as such.
