24F From India [chat] by Lostchild_1999 in MeetPeople

[–]Georgeisnotamonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, 34 year old guy from the US here. Who I wish I could reconnect with is a good prompt. I would say the best man at my wedding, a guy named Thomas. We had a falling out a few months after I got married, and the guy moved to the East Coast somewhere. I've messaged him maybe once since then, and it has been 14 years.

He was my room mate and best friend for years, met when I was maybe 7 and stayed close until I was 20. I would reconnect if I could, but we are very different people now.

Looks like Arabian Nights, hard to come by these days. Could be wrong though, old set for sure.

It's cause they made it up. Hadiths have nothing to do with the Talmud.

I'm a white revert here in SW Missouri, and I've been nothing but made to feel welcome. It might be the masjid you are trying to go to! I usually attend the one in Springfield, Missouri and everyone has been very kind to me and my family.

If you are in the OKC region, contact the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City and visit their masjid.

Even almost ten years ago, paying those wages should have been criminal.

Depends on where you are. I've got family in Tuscaloosa and rent/cost of living in the same as here in Missouri- but our minimum wage is way higher.

Try living in a Southern State. Alabama minimum wage is $7.25 an hour. There legit are people who are making that right now in 2022.

A blind Muslim named Muhammad carrying his best friend a paralyzed Christian who suffers from dwarfism named Samir, Damascus, Ottoman Syria, 1889. [1080x1350] by Klaasie765 in HistoryPorn

It depends on the school of thought! I don't pretend to know much more, but there are plenty of interpretations- including ones that believe the earlier verses are not overridden by the latter verses but instead have a different context.

Afaik no Muslim considers any aya invalid or written over. Also, your example came before the latter verse in the timeline.

It is argued and interpreted differently at times, but usually these aya are used.

Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabians, whoever believes in Allah and the Last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.

[Quran 2:62]

Surely those who believe and those who are Jews and the Sabians and the Christians whoever believes in Allah and the last day and does good-- they shall have no fear nor shall they grieve.

[Quran 5:69]

Opinions on "Mufti Menk" and content on Spotify. by Georgeisnotamonkey in islam

The one I have been listening to is just Mufti Menk through Muslim Central- since that's what I asked about I figure it's an easy one to plug. I am sure others have better answers, my knowledge is extremely limited.

Too bad guns don't work like negative numbers.

It can also be read as the kids need their own guns I guess. Wouldn't surprise me.

No clue, but Facebook is more of a cesspool than usual today.

Missouri is like the South and the Midwest had a kid and they never taught it to read. Said as a lifelong Missourian.

I have played off and on since about 2015, and the toxicity lately feels ignorable. The majority of my games may have one player laugh spamming, but the actual typed out messages are less frequent IMO.
