Islam/Muslim Discussion Thread ٢

[El-Amin Caliphate]

I don't need the help anymore, the nation stopped invading me.

Wrong thread >w<

[Jochizyd Republic]

One of my friends (more of an acquaintance) just called to ask me for relationship advice because his family didn't approve of a White Shi'a Convert he wanted to marry but was having trouble with.

Because asking a 20 year old borderline shut in who has never actually had a real girlfriend is the thing to do in this situation.

[Jochizyd Republic]

Has anyone done Hadra Zhikr before?

I can tell you, it's a profound experience. At first cathartic but then something much more once you realize the symbolism, the meaning and your place in it.

Because she is White, because she is Shia or because she is a convert?

Assalamu alaykum. What's the problem?

And I have similar issues as well. There's no need to beat yourself up over it.

He had no problem with both but some of his family had a problem with the Shi'ism.

Wa Aleykum Salaam.

No, haha. That parts alright. I just don't get why he thinks I can help him.

Is his family disapproving to the point of disinheriting him, or are they simply dissatisifed?

Greetings again. Was busy these weeks with my study (had some exams plus some other things to handle) but I'm back for a week. After that our project weeks will start.

So the girl I went out with last week saturday, whom I wrote about in the thread, is very cool. We just hanged around and spoke. Feels funny to meet a person who you talk online with for over one year. Hell I was nervous, I am going to meet her this winter again in Berlin probably. And I like her, we didn't do anything romantic per se but we often had these moments we just looked at eachother and smiled. We did some waterbiking in Amsterdam's canals, ate food together and went to a museum. I miss that Saturday. Hated when I had to leave.

Aside from that, my parents have became more light hearted towards islam. That's a good thing, it's a step. Inshallah Allah (swt) will give me more sabr and inshallah they will accept the fact I am Muslim. I get a lot of support (also from you guys) which really helps. And I went to Junmaah for the first time ever yesterday. Although the preaching was in Turkish it was great to see so many people assembly, subhnallah!

Did I miss anything important?

See it as a good thing. He trusts you with said problem.

Oh, not that extreme. Just uneasy about it. Other problems too.

I guess.

You'll be right at home here brother. Not too many of us aren't reverts

Good question in regards to that, what are you all studying? Or at what stage are you studying? Or even what are you working with?

I am presently going through Japanese History, Chinese history and what's called Exam Faculitetum, but is basically the history of pedagogical philosophy. Will last until the end of the year, to which I hope to be studying law and mathematical logic, maybe if possible add Korean history which got snatched up in front of me last time.

These things usually pass once they get to know the GF better. It's very important she makes a good impression though.

Other problems too.

Such as?

[United Territories and States]

Because she is White, because she is Shia or because she is a convert?

He had no problem with both but some of his family had a problem with the Shi'ism.

"Shi'ism"

That was the first mistake.

Lol.

Shi'a other than the ones that have Iran are alright.

Basically Batiniyya are alright.

Him Wanting Kids later on and her not being up for it.

Perhaps.

But yeah. Normal Ithna'ashari/ Twelver Shi'ism is by and large pretty fundamentalist.

[Al Ashabiyah]

What do you all think of Ibadi Islam?

[United Territories and States]

Perhaps.

Interpretation yields some interesting results.

[Jochizyd Republic]

What do you all think of Ibadi Islam?

Just don't know enough about it. I do respect Oman though. They're pretty great.

[Salus Maior]

There's 10 Ibadi in the polls, apparently.

Maybe this is their best chance to speak up ;P *wink wink* *nudge nudge*.
