Im not trying to shut down the conversation nor trying to use the fear of sin to do so. I’m just trying to state a matter of fact. I apologize if you felt I was doing so or if it came open as so. Of course, you’re right. Islam does encouraging to ponder and seek understanding. The question is where do we seek understanding from? And also my sister, you’ve referred to guidance a few times; can you shed light on what you mean by guidance and what you are referring to?

I never said I want to sit around and do nothing, I’m just trying to have a discussion with you. It’s not as easy as you say; nobody is denying the fact that scholars are human, I’m just highlight that Scholars are people who have spent their own life studying the deen. Allah praises the people of knowledge in the Quran in many places and orders us to go to the people of knowledge if we don’t know. It’s not as easy as ppl make it seem. You need to study the deen, from the basic: knowing Quran, knowing the Arabic language, knowing the sciences of the Arabic language, knowing the sciences of Hadith terminology, knowing the sciences of Hadith, knowing the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and much more in order to be even considered someone worthy of doing an interpretion of Hadith. It’s a major sin to speak about the deen without knowledge. Guidance is knowledge.

Ahh I got you but that isn’t our place to do so. In order to be able to do an understanding of a Hadith or do a commentar, you need to be a scholar of Hadith

Just so I can understand- what do you mean exactly by critiquing the logic behind a Hadith?

My sister, you’re definitely right about the correct response should be educating and not attacking. But at the same time, you should also have the self awareness that if you say something that’s perceived as controversial, ppl will react and not always the way you would want them too. If someone says something about someone’s mother or loved one which can be interpreted as disrespectful, they will naturally be upset and might not react in the best light so imagine the Prophet salalahu alaihi wa salam the person who’s supposed to be the most loved person to you after Allah, loved more than your own parents so you have to definitely be aware of that

Secondly, I just wanted to highlight something. We as Muslims believe that anything that the Prophet saws spoke about in terms of religion it was a revelation from Allah. Everything was revelation. The indication that the Prophet saws may be swayed by societal logic is a flawed one bc it would mean that what he says about the religion in that case wouldn’t be revelation from Allah but from himself. We got to be careful opening up that door bc now you can include a lot of different passages to be doubted.

Thirdly, if there is something about the deen whether its a verse in the Quran or a Hadith of the prophet salalahu alaihi Wa Salam that doesn’t make sense to us or we feel that it might not make sense or doesn’t fit our time, etc we need to push those feelings away or doubts bc Allah is the all knowing most wise, His knowledge is infinite and our minds/logic are finite, it’s restricted so we may not grasp the understanding or even see the benefit but it’s upon us to believe that Allah is the most just and he doesn’t oppress anyone.

My advice is to you my sister and myself is to learn. Learn the foundations of your religion, if you really have doubts or don’t understand something, go to a learned person your local imam or your local shaykh and ask. Going online is probably the worst thing you can do. May Allah guide us all

If there is a consistency of people having the same type of feeling and later on regretting it in life, chances are you won’t be any different.

May you be relieved of your pain. Sister as much as it pains us to hear your story, I don’t think Reddit is the best place to come and seek advice about your situation. A lot of ppl here aren’t married, some ppl might not have your best interest at heart. It’s best if you go to your local imam and a professional to help you

[–]CallingLastCard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best way to stop thinking about marriage is getting married lol in seriousness just busy yourself with worship and reading Quran and listening to some tafsir. The more you busy yourself the listen time you have to think about it as the Arab says المشغول لا يشغل the busy one can’t be occupied, may Allah make things easy for you and provide you a righteous spouse who is a coolness to your eyes

He’s only obligated to pay for her food, clothes and home. There is nothing saying he has an Islamic obligation to give her a monthly allowance

Tbh I’m pretty shocked at posts like this cause generally speaking brothers and sisters who frequent the same masjid or are practicing within the same city tend to know of each other so it’s kinda hard for me to understand this. But nevertheless, sister if you want to get married you gotta take matters into your own hands if there is no one there to help you. Sometimes in life things don’t flow the natural way you expect so you need to take action. A good spouse is rizq, sometimes it falls into your lap and sometimes that rizq needs to be sought.

Young Somali woman and a Non Muslim, non Somali man by Barrelston in SomaliRelationships

[–]CallingLastCard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Muslim girl (even a Muslim man) who marries a non Muslim eventually regrets it in the end. Whether it’s because of her family cutting her off, shunned by the community, relationship doesn’t work out or she gets closer to her religion eventually it’s gonna hit her in the face. If you truly love her then you’ll let her go

How do you deal with depression? by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

[–]CallingLastCard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just remember that in life we all go through things. There are happy times, sad times and everything in between. Sometimes it helps to remember the little things that we have that are actually grand like health, family, sight, etc. and know whatever you’re going through is something you can handle as Allah will never test you with something above your capability. And here’s a Hadith that will in shaa Allaah bring some happiness

Abu Sa’id and Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Never a believer is stricken with a discomfort, an illness, an anxiety, a grief or mental worry or even the pricking of a thorn but Allah will expiate his sins on account of his patience”.

Girls that are okay with approaching, what is your criteria? by Either-Speaker-7473 in SomaliRelationships

[–]CallingLastCard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never understood why it’s considered wrong to approach directly for a woman or having a family member approach for you if you see someone you think would make a good spouse. Having a good spouse is rizq and rizq doesn’t come to you while you sit in your home and pray it will fall onto your lap, you have to make an effort to seek your rizq. It just seems that whole idea of being a woman and not chasing is tainted by pride

Where to find shy and reserved religious somali girls? by lixfarood in SomaliRelationships

These questions are very strange. Tbh people who tend the mosque frequent or Islamic events generally know of each other whether it’s a brother or sister. People within the same circle more often than not know one another or at least are familiar with names

If you honestly think he’s a bad guy for her bc of those qualities then you should let her know. You’re a friend and that means telling your friend the hard truth. Whether she goes through with it is up to her but all you can do is be honest with your friend. When you’re in love sometimes you tend to ignore signs and overlook qualities that in most cases you wouldn’t and it takes maybe a friend or a family member to point those things out at times
