You might have noticed when reading Plato's Republic that he shares a lot of common ground with Islamic political theory. But did you know this partially because he shares a lot of common ground with Islamic theology? In Islam, God is ontologically considered in His being, but phenomenologically considered in His attributes. God's being is utterly unknowable, but His attributes are Platonic forms.
This is an article on His being, click next chapter to read about His attributes

>Contrary to the person of God, His attributes can be comprehended to some extent by a human being. The reason is that man himself finds some of these attributes within him, though at a very small scale. God has granted man some portion of His knowledge, power, providence, wisdom and mercy. Man can thus analogously have some idea of the attributes of God. This aspect can also be understood by saying that man’s being is passive in nature. The Qur’an has used various words for the action which emanates from God to create man’s being: these words are iradah (intention), qawl (utterance), mashi’at (will), kalimah (word) and amr (state of affairs). The reality of a shay’ (thing) is this mashi’at (intention). A shay’ (thing) is called a shay’ because of it. The attributes which manifest in a thing are in reality the attributes of this word. The reality of man’s being is also the same. Furthermore, he possesses an awareness of his being and thus is able to comprehend to some extent the attributes of the Maker. However, it is essential for this that a person keep his intellect alive and that he, under the guidance of divine revelation, keep reflecting on the signs of God within him and in the world around him.
>Matter does not have the faculty of intention. It also does not possess any knowledge and intellect. Similarly, the intention and intellect and other potentials of the soul cannot be its own because it is plagued with weakness, short memory and weak will and determination. However, since from both matter and soul, great benefits and remarkable phenomena are produced – which cannot result from a power which is blind and deaf – both are creations and every creation requires a creator:
Please continue with your comparisons...
Stoning is not a common punishment in Islam. Death is generally by beheading and adultery and fornication get 100 lashes, not death. Also please don't try to pretend that antiquity and the Middle Ages, when Plato wielded the most influence in the west, were not more draconian than Islam, they used torture and death extensively. Only when liberalism took root and pushed out Plato did torture and death become seen as unacceptable
ok. yes, I see. Please proceed.
That is not a shariah practice
sorry , if it's not common then it doesn't exist, i forgot about that
.... continue please
I am unsure what it has to do with Islam anymore than lynchings have to do with Christianity
Daesh is literally opposed by every single Muslim state and considers 99% of Muslims who aren't them to be apostates.
'Daesh' is actually an acronym, not a noun, and it translates to ISIS. No need to use a semi-fake name to create distance between ISIS and Islam.
boomer-tier
Daesh is what Muslims call ISIS and ISIS considers it derogatory
Those are words (moderate, radical) unbelievers use, Muslims don't use them. Islam is either correct or incorrect (and violation of shariah, like that, is incorrect), not "moderate" or "radical", Islam is Islam.
Thread is b8 but you're equally moronic for presenting an Anglo-Zionist psyop to subvert Iran as an argument.
Thread is by no means bait. Classical Islamic theology ties in a lot with Plato and Aristotle, read The Study Quran (which is written from a classical perspective)
Guess how many times ISIL has attacked Israel, boomers
If it does it isn't unique in doing so.

I never said it is, I know St. Augustine held God to be the Platonic form of goodness, although you just referenced neoplatonism, which I consider a drastic reinterpretation of Plato as opposed to raw Plato
No shit. It's ripped straight from Greek philosophy as is Christianity.
Except it isn't, it comes from the Qur'an
