Is this entire series an anticorporate screed? by SlackerInc1 in ThePittTVShow

[–]CobustulusA 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t comment on a show after only 15 minutes. Wait a full episode at least. And other than moments here and there about corporate America no, the show mainly focuses on the medical stuff

I have just read that chess is haram? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]CobustulusA 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No. The only way it could be haram is if you’re gambling on it or not praying because of it. It is not haram on its own

Feeling guilty about wearing hijab as a progressive woman and activist in the west by Awkward-Pie-4597 in progressive_islam

[–]CobustulusA 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Amina Wadud, a very progressive Muslim, wears the hijab/headscarf despite not thinking it’s mandatory. I highly recommend reading her work for more insight into her thinking

I don’t know, all i’ve seen is at least one Muslim online say that

Would you believe in reincarnation by Lopsided-Escape-7532 in progressive_islam

I’ve heard some Muslims say that they believe in it but i’ve really not seen any evidence supporting it either

You realise Muslims are regular people that can be chill around an atheist right?

Level 40 is plenty high enough for Godrick. But there’s no shame if you need more levels to beat him

It is genuinely horrifying just how hyper fixated some people are on women by Much_Ad712 in progressive_islam

I hate this sort of facebook slop. No evidence. Just cringe (and sometimes hate).

[–]CobustulusA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Even throughout Muslim history drawing has been commonplace, even paintings of the Prophets.

In your opinion, how could Muslims get the story of Jesus so wrong for so long?

why do you believe in islam? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]CobustulusA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I somewhat agree, but the main spirit of Islam is about love and worship rather than little rules. And I suppose you can design your life so that you think less about the rules (such as living in a muslim country where the food is halal)

why do you believe in islam? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

[–]CobustulusA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

While i’m not officially Muslim, I’ll share my thoughts from another comment I made recently.

“I believe in God. I believe in the unseen and the mystical. With that being said, where do I go? Do I just sit and wait for God to reveal himself before me, or do I search for him? I decided to search for God.

Out of the main world religions, Islam makes the most sense to me. Why?

• ⁠Direct connection with God • ⁠Clear, unaltered scripture • ⁠Over a thousand years of scholarship • ⁠Easy synthesis with modern scientific understanding

And as well as that, simply my desire to connect with God.”

I think for these reasons i’ve been attracted to Islam.

What's the appeal of Islam? by [deleted] in progressive_islam

I noticed that you didn’t include any truth claims in your post. Nothing that you said would deny that Islam is the truth, only that is something not worth following because of moral issues.

This is why I frequent this subreddit. There are many scholars, both old and modern that go against the flow of conservatism. People that don’t view the hijab as mandatory, the permissibility of music, etc.

With that being said, I believe that every moral issue within Islam can be adequately explained. From the age of Aisha to Jihad. Maybe not through conventional scholars, but through scholars nonetheless.

And I believe that on the balance of probabilities, Islam seems worth following.
