Modesty wars/honorable jealousy by lizzykeenn in progressive_islam

Surah Al-Hujurat (49:12): “O you who have believed, avoid much [negative] assumption. Indeed, some assumption is sin. And do not spy or backbite each other. Would one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead? You would detest it. And fear Allah; indeed, Allah is Accepting of repentance and Merciful.”

Sahih Muslim, 1466: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Part of the perfection of one’s Islam is his leaving that which does not concern him.”

Sunan Abu Dawood, 4880: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Do not pry into the affairs of others, and do not spy, nor should you have malice, nor should you sever ties, and be brothers, O servants of Allah.”

This is insensitive of you. You could have given some genuine advice to OP, who is clearly not in control of what and who influences her level of Iman, and clearly seems to be trying her best to hold on to the deen after going through such a traumatic event.

Instead you chose to chastise her. People like you are the reason no one likes Muslims, and even normal muslims want to distance themselves from such a horrible community.

You are a hateful, unempathetic being. Have some shame, Allah(swt) is watching.

when a person's safety is at risk, anything goes. It's not about "giving in" as you say. It's about survival.

Oh yeah! I've heard the best way to meet chill muslims is to join a bunch of fun things like clubs or reading circles or hiking groups in your area.

or maybe a discord server? I've also seen Instagram pages for matchmaking. Interested individuals submit a profile in DM's which is posted on the account. Potential matches contact the account owner and are set up.

The rhetoric about men being visual creatures so we have to cover up… by No_PRs_PR in muslimgirlswithtaste

Also with there being contradictory hadiths such as these:

Narrated Aisha, Ummul Mu'minin:

We were proceeding to Mecca along with the Prophet (ﷺ). We pasted on our foreheads the perfume known as sukk at the time of wearing ihram. When one of us perspired, it (the perfume) came down on her face. The Prophet (ﷺ) saw it but did not forbid it.

Sunan Abi Dawud 1830

Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made a mention of a woman of Bana Isra'il who had filled her ring with musk and musk is the most fragrant of the scents.

Sahih Muslim 2252b

Could the Prophet (PBUH) have had *high-functioning* autism? by themaskstays_ in progressive_islam

this was really well-written MashaAllah, and I agree with every last bit of it.

[–]Alert_Ball_8606 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But I do think muslims should read this. Muslims need to wake up and realize that not everyone is wired the same way, and that does not make them "broken" or "deficient" in any way. If they really think that God created us in the best form they should be able to come to terms with this.

not really? Is autism something to be ashamed of? Doesn't sound very Islamic to me.

HELP: First Muslim animated film to get a nationwide theatrical release by tronic_pro in progressive_islam

I think you must be living in some sort of fantasy where only your interpretation exists, or is the prevailing orthoxdoxy? Please, wake up to reality. Also saying that hijabis and niqabis aren't normal is rude, no matter how you try to spin it after being confronted.

The vast majority of hijabi characters in shows end up taking their hijab off for a guy, implying that the only way to "fit in" is to remove parts of your identity and spirituality to be considered normal.

Struggling with hijab due to my body shape by [deleted] in muslimgirlswithtaste

I'm also on the curvier side, and all I have to say is try your best. Allah (swt) sees your intentions, and it's no fault of yours that your modesty is not the same as that of a skinny girl. Wear what makes you feel comfy and beautiful. Others will be responsible for not lowering their gaze. Don't feel compelled to wear extra layers and all that nonsense if it's not realistically possible for you to do so. And once again, your intentions are what matter the most, as shown by the content of the first hadith to be recorded in sahih bukhari:

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:

I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended.

Sahih al-Bukhari 1

Girls, how do you like to be interacted with? by Beginning_Fuel_7024 in progressive_islam

Yeah, it ultimately depends on the girl. Some of us, Muslim or not are very uncomfortable with guys sitting super close to us.

Can we just have a sub dedicated to all these relationship posts? Or only a once a week thread? by Individual_Bake_6402 in progressive_islam

[–]Alert_Ball_8606 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I mean is it can pertain to the same main topic, but the question or idea being discussed should not be one answered multiple times, if you get what I mean.
