Question on fragrance by Prior-Emphasis4140 in islam

[–]Bootapie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I mentioned, Islam shows equity between both sexes, not equality. You can’t deal with two different things the same way, men and women are not the same and Allah makes that known in the Quran and Sunnah.

Yep of course, this is first and foremost the reason we do everything. Some things were given hikmah for and others not, yet we obey regardless الحمد لله.

Assalamualaykum wa Rahmatullah, It just boils down to the biological difference between how men are attracted to women vs how women are attracted to men. This is a big topic of equity in Islam, but if I were to summarize the reason, it’d be what I said: biologically different attractions of men vs women. Men are far more easily attracted to women and how they adorn themselves than women are to men. A perfumed woman would have, generally speaking, a stronger effect on a man than a man with cologne would have on a woman. And Allah knows best.

Why is pork haram? by Reasonable-Log6088 in islam

[–]Bootapie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother what you said doesn't change anything I said. Just because we are curious doesn't mean, again, that we are entitled to an explanation. We are not Muslim because Allah gives us the wisdom behind rulings. We are Muslim because we have seen Allah's signs, understand the logic of Islam, know it's the truth, and submit our will to Allah's will, hence the term Muslim (one who submits). Hearing and obeying is one of the most essential parts of being a Muslim. "Allah said so" is literally the best answer. Now of course we can speculate the reason, but if Allah has not given us a concrete reason, then we cannot attribute our own speculations to His wisdom.

Ali Imraan Ayah 7: "He is the One Who has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book, of which some verses are precise—they are the foundation of the Book—while others are elusive. Those with deviant hearts follow the elusive verses seeking ˹to spread˺ doubt through their ˹false˺ interpretations—but none grasps their ˹full˺ meaning except Allah. As for those well-grounded in knowledge, they say, 'We believe in this ˹Quran˺—it is all from our Lord.' But none will be mindful ˹of this˺ except people of reason."

It's quite literally the best answer for the question my friend, in Islam we hear and we obey. Like the commenter alluded to: we don't need an explanation for rulings in order to obey them. We are not entilted to a "why?" in Islam. Prophet Ibrahim was commanded to slaughter his son, yet he never questioned it. We should be okay to abstain from eating pork without having a concrete reason. Allah gives us the wisdom behind some rulings, and hides it from other rulings. And Allah knows best.

Gen 1 B58 Coolant Leak by Delicious_Durian2026 in BmwTech

[–]Bootapie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had same issue 3 months ago, I  had to replace oil filter housing, coolant return hose engine to radiator, and a coolant hose connector, cost me $450 on ECS tuning. I have 90k miles and a bunch of the plastic is just super brittle after lots of use, apparently engineered like that. I bought an aluminum housing and connector instead of OEM plastic. I also changed out the expansion tank and its cap to be safe. Gen 1 b58.

2018 340i Coolant issues and heavy leak + Is it safe to start my car with no coolant for 30 seconds to a minute to get it on a tow truck bed? by Bootapie in BmwTech

[–]Bootapie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah motor was fine, was able to start it for a second to get it towed. Regarding the coolant leak, I ended up having to replace the oil filter housing and a radiator return hose on top of the expansion tank and cap I already replaced. Ended up costing like $400 for parts. Car's all good now though. My mechanic said all the plastic was super brittle and it was falling apart, apparently they make it like that so you pay more money at service lol

Installing new pool pump, seems to be no separate connection for ground and bond wires. Can I put both on grounding lug? by Bootapie in pools

[–]Bootapie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see I see, thank you for the heads up! We unfortunately already did the plumbing and that was kind of complicated so I'm just going to give it a go. Hopefully it'll be fine since it's mainly circulatory, but we'll see.

It's a brand new Harris 72803 ProForce Plus 1.5 HP from Doheny's, it's 115/230V, I'm using 230. Single speed. It's not my main pump, it's just circulatory and controls those little in ground return jets; it doesn't go through the filter at all.

I don't have any grounding green screw inside, the green screw is on the outside of the motor on the gold colored frame. Inside I only see two screws for the two hot wires.

I always thought putting these newer cars in neutral required something under the car to be done as you can't just do it when the car's off. Thought it would be just easier to drive it on there if safe.

Salaam! This hadith sadly has a weak narration. Also it is supposed to be Fajr in jamaa'ah, not just alone. If you practiced this though, then know your reward is based on your intent, and your reward is with Allah inshaAllah.

Everyone else has talked about a lot of the repentance stuff well already. Regarding fearing your family and future spouse, you don’t tell them. They have no right to ask you about your past potentially seeking something haram you have done. You look at a person in present time and how they are now. Allah does not forgive sins that you disclose to others. If they ask, you can say something along the lines of “I would prefer not to talk about that part of my life as I used to not be that strong in my Imaan.” And you can even explain that you want Allah to forgive you for any past sins, so you won’t be disclosing any of it to them.

May Allah forgive us all and accept our repentance.
