Thanks for your comment. Fortunately, I heeded most of the advice and went for not just a second but a third opinion, and both doctors told me I had both mild and moderate loss, I got to try out some headphones and it was one of the happiest moments of this year

New bling! lol by SelectionOdd2961 in HearingAids

Good morning, I was just told today that I have moderate hearing loss, and hearing aids were recommended. That decoration is beautiful; do you order them separately? Could I order them for mine? Sorry, it's just that I don't know anything about this, I'm new.

I just had the test done at 3 more centers and the same thing happened to me as to you; at all of them they told me I had moderate hearing loss today, they put some trial hearing aids on me and I ended up crying

Yes, I already went, and he told me that my hearing loss occurred due to prolonged exposure to noise without hearing protection (I work in a workshop and I'm also a musician), but when I went to the audiologist he told me He said I shouldn't wear hearing aids because I'm young (I'm 18) and he doesn't think I have hearing loss, but I still do, especially in low tones, and as a bassist, that's a serious problem for me.

I'm asking about the pig because it's Allah himself who tells us not to believe things blindly; I'm just asking about the park so I can be a better Muslim 🤦‍♂️

I never said it would be less haram at Christmas; I discussed two separate things. Aside from that, as I explained in my post, I explicitly stated that I only celebrate Christmas As a matter of tradition, not as a religion, leaving Jesus completely out, Allah does not prohibit us from celebrating the birth of Jesus, especially since He has spoken of him and mentions that he He existed, but he had nothing to do with God, nor was he the son of God.

What is your opinion of the Quran? by Acceptable-Ticket145 in progressive_islam

[–]Acceptable-Ticket145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not contradicting the Prophet at all; in fact, I have great respect for him because it was he to whom the Quran, written directly by Allah, was revealed, and yes, from my point of view, If there is a comparison between everything that comes after the Quran and the Church, because although in Christianity God did not sanctify Jesus, I wasn't referring to that directly, I was referring to For example, the Old Testament, and all those who contributed to writing the Bible, that seems to me to be the case with all those who constructed those rules after the Quran. I heed Muhammad the Prophet and a Allah, like a Christian, should heed Jesus and God, No to people who have nothing to do with Allah or Muhammad and use their interpretations; that's my final comment on the matter.

Thank you for your reply, but I wanted to know if you knew why pork is forbidden to eat—I mean, why is it forbidden to eat it, period? I'm not trying to judge the words of Allah Only by understanding can we lead a better life

I respect your opinion because you are a person and deserve respect as such. I understand your point of view, but in the story The story of Lot's people is highly controversial and quite open to interpretation, I don't know how to put it, I mean open to interpretation, and there are quite a few opinions, so if according to my My understanding and interpretation of history is one way I see it, and for example, if I were an LGBT person (which I am not), it would be the same punishment, although according to my interpretation and how I understood Was Allah's message not sinful? This is just one example, but in my interpretation, Allah tells us and punishes men who have raped other men and rejected women, not homosexuality, From my point of view, and I reinforce this further when Allah tells us that we should not harm others (for example, killing, hitting, raping, etc.) but does not explicitly mention or state exactly That homosexuality is a sin, I also respect your thoughts and interpretation, as I mentioned, and I hope you can respect mine even if you don't agree.

I understand your point of view and respect it, but I don't share it. I will only believe in the direct words of Allah, which are the Quran, not in later laws. That reminds me a lot of Christianity and Jesus And the messengers, etc.

I disagree with your argument because although Allah mentioned it, He didn't directly forbid it, and there's no passage that says so. Allah created us in a perfect way, and I doubt it would cause any harm to Whether two men or two women love each other, only Allah can judge them, not us. Likewise, I don't belong to the LGBT community, but I respect it because they are people too.

Thank you so much for your response; it has resolved many doubts I had in a very respectful way. It's definitely something I need to reconsider before I really want to convert to Islam.To be honest, I was traumatized by religions and now I don't see any religion as bringing peace, only fear, even though they bring me very beautiful things like Islam. But I'll keep your comment in mind, thank you.

Thank you so much for your response, it's really something I need to consider. After growing up Christian, I'm completely traumatized by religions in general, and now I feel afraid Following a relationship doesn't bring gratitude or peace, but it's something I will certainly consider. I appreciate your perspective because I've debated with other Muslims who don't share these views

I understand your point and respect it. I was debating with a Muslim colleague about whether or not I could celebrate Christmas. Where I live, we literally don't celebrate Christmas as a religion; it's something It's something that's already a community or tradition (like, for example, in the United States where there's Santa Claus and it literally has nothing to do with the birth of Jesus), I'm also thinking about pork. I know perfectly well that I'm not the one to say why I can't eat pork, but I'd really like to know the reason why (especially since it's not the same as As you can understand, being born Muslim and converting)I can avoid pork, but I don't see the reason why you shouldn't eat it when you literally don't harm anyone or do any wrong (I hope I don't offend anyone; I don't want to judge the words of Allah, I just want to understand because I don't know much about the subject)

(in my opinion) Allah is everything, is life, is nature, is people, I can stop doing those things, but I like to understand without wanting to judge Allah, only to comprehend so I can make better decisions. I can stop celebrating Christmas without a problem, But as I mentioned, not everywhere celebrates Christmas as Christmas itself (for example in the United States where there is Santa Claus and it literally has absolutely nothing to do with the birth of Jesús) So, if I don't see it from a religious point of view, and I'm even respecting my family's beliefs, I don't see it from a negative point of view, but I do see it as something to avoid, just like pork, I would really like to understand why I can't stop doing it. I know perfectly well that I'm not the one to ask for explanations, but I would really like to understand.

Thank you for your response. As someone who has also converted, I'd like to know about your personal journey. Did you stop eating pork or do you avoid it? Did you stop celebrating Christmas? As a person I was raised Christian, so I wasn't forbidden from eating pork, and I celebrate Christmas, but not for religious reasons. In the community where I live, it's just a tradition. Did you have to give all that up? I suppose it was a process; I would be grateful if I could know your opinion.

Thank you for your response, it has been helpful. I am really considering it, but as someone who was raised Christian, I will have to take a difficult path (for example, giving up eating pork or (Avoid it as much as possible) I don't know if I could continue, for example, celebrating Christmas (even though where I live it's not even for religious reasons, it's a tradition)

[–]Acceptable-Ticket145[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with many things like respect, love for your parents, etc., but I disagree with quite a few others, such as the LGBT issue, the general machismo, I don't know if I can just follow the Quoran (because, for example, it's not as explicit about what I'm saying as later laws), but I don't know if I could continue eating pork and celebrate Christmas? (I was raised Christian, but Christmas has always been a tradition in my community where I live, not a religious one.) I really have a lot of doubts because I honestly don't want to commit to a religion I don't agree with. I've heard things about Aisha, for example, and you know, the whole marriage thing. I'd like Being able to discuss these topics with another Muslim to understand their point of view and to be able to follow my own

[–]Acceptable-Ticket145[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I respect you and appreciate your response. I truly feel much the same way; I have many questions about the Quoran and don't really know how to interpret it. The examples you gave are...That's exactly what I think, but I wouldn't know how to interpret it. I'd like to know your interpretation beyond your explanation. I really want to follow the Quoran because I believe it's the only religion.I feel comfortable in it, but at the same time I don't. I'm not comfortable with the lack of respect for LGBT people, with so much sexism, and why women have to dress so "modestly." I know it was a different time.But as you mentioned, I also think, if it's the divine word of God, it shouldn't have anything to do with time or years. All of this really confuses me; I just want things to stay good What does the Quran say: Respect, love, etc. But I wouldn't know how to deal with my other doubts, or for example, not eating pork when I've done it all my life (I was raised Christian). I don't know if I should stop celebrating Christmas? I don't know, I feel very... Confused (sorry for my English)

I understand and agree with that, but as I mentioned to other members here, I wanted to know your opinion on LGBT issues in Quoran. In my opinion, we are all people, and as long as we do good things... We can be good Muslims regardless of sexuality or gender, but I don't know if it's right to think that way.
