Islamic Discussion Thread ٥: Free Tajweed, Absolutely Halaal

[Repreteop]

For this Ramadan, trying to get back into frequent reading, be it audiobook or physical reading. Having my new Chromebook really helps with this as I can stay focused on what I'm reading with a wider screen.

I'll share what I've been reading.

"It is obvious that high moral qualities of someone are conclusively proved only when they are exercised on the proper occasion, and it is only then that they affect the hearts. For instance, forgiveness is worthy of credit and praise only when one has the power to take revenge, and chastity is commendable only when he has the power to fulfil his carnal passions."

I have one more day of fast!

Hey friends do any of you have any experience with Isma'ilism? There is a bit I like about them, but I'm kind of cautious about the Nizari imam Aga Khan IV as well as hearing that they commit shirk (believing that Imam Ali is a manifestation of Allah).


Very good! I'm trying to read the Holy Quran every morning and start going to masjid weekly.

There used to be an ex-Ismaili here at one point many years ago, but he left NSG.

That Iranian "murtad" that Sharifistan tried to report to the Iranian police to have him executed? Nah he's still here. And because those who hate the beloved Sahabah of the Prophet ﷺ RA are not real Muslims Frie is not a murtad.

وعن البراء بن عازب رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال في الأنصار‏: ‏ ‏ "‏لا يحبهم إلا مؤمن، ولا يبغضهم إلا منافق، من أحبهم أحبه الله، ومن أبغضهم أبغضه الله‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏متفق عليه‏)‏‏)‏ ‏.‏

Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said about the Ansar: "Only a believer loves them, and only a hypocrite hates them. Allah loves him who loves them and Allah hates him who hates them". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

I don't disagree. I think at the end of the day, it's politics. Right? Whoever wants the most power and acquired such, will automatically be afraid to lose it. They will implement strict laws to stop society from deviating. Whenever those who rebel do, they will become harsh.

It has happened in both the Muslim and Christian communities, and has happened in even atheist.

First things first, I would to apologize for coming off as aggressive to you the other day in the other discussion. Didn't mean to come off that way to you. I just wanted to take the role of aggressor for that debate but came off sounding a bit arrogant.

Yeah, as a convert of over 7 years, I gained:

1. An improved self
2. A wife
3. A child
4. Increased knowledge
5. Trying out different things from other cultures
6. Learning other languages
7. Loving my fellow man more
8. Learning how people work better
9. Reflecting on God and life benefits me
10. I overcame many bad habits one by one.

Now the above is all my personal experience and I'm not going off religious script this time. Keeping it real.

I am quite grateful to the God I believe in.

You can always do Fidya (explication)

Fidya (expiation) is in an essence, compensation for a missed fast. You give money to feed the poor or you can feed them yourself. Then, for those who can fast again, they can fast some other time, but for those permanently sick, Allah knows their intentions and such inabilities are pardoned.
