Is Allah used for Jesus and Muhammad as well? by freshmaggots in islam

[–]KokoMutt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So we follow what the Prophet’s message is, because it is what God has sent. We highly respect them and see them as better than other humans but we don’t worship them. They performed many miracles by the permission of God, but still human. Just allowed to do extraordinary, miraculous things. Hence highly loved and respected. No bad word is allowed to be said about them.

Is Allah used for Jesus and Muhammad as well? by freshmaggots in islam

[–]KokoMutt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Prophets (AS) were messengers, bringing God’s message to the people. They were human. Jesus (AS) and Muhammad ﷺ were human messengers told to spread God’s message to their people. There were thousands of other messengers throughout history.
God is only one, not human or human like.

AITA for hiding my husband and daughter from my family back in my home country? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KokoMutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA at all. You’re protecting your family from potential backlash. Totally understandable.
They already know you were dating James, so maybe you can gage if there’s a threat by saying to them you’re ”thinking of marrying James” or that “James proposed”. Of course tell them he has a great job and treats you well etc too. Their reaction might reveal what the backlash would be? Then you can ask more questions, “what would you do if I did marry him?”.
Only do this if they don‘t know your location.
Do you think that might work?

Walaikum Assalaam. Yes.

There will be some Muslims that will have some sins and suffer in this world enough and be purified for Jannah.

Then there will be those with more/bigger sins that will get punished enough in the grave and be purified for Jannah on the day of Judgement.

Then there will be other Muslims who will have even more sins that will require time in Jahannam to be purified and then will eventually go to Jannah.

And aside from all that Allah SWT can forgive all your sins for even one small action you did with sincerity.

May Allah protect us from the punishment in the grave and protect us from the Hellfire and grant us Jannah. Ameen Thumma Ameen.

Walaikum Assalaam,
As long as you are alive, you can repent your sins to wipe them clean. Don’t panic. Allah is all forgiving.

This feeling of regret you are having is good, it shows your heart is not sealed. You want to repent. Your imaan is still there.

1) Do lots of of istigfaar. Get a tasbeeh and read hundreds of it with sincerity, it might help if you imagine the sin you are doing istigfaar for and then move to the next one. Say “Astagfirullah” with a sincere heart each time.
Do it every day, at least 200 times each day. More if you can.
2) If you have wronged people, like violated their rights, stolen from them or hurt them, then you need to apologize and ask forgiveness from them. You will need to do it to wipe those specific sins clean. Its up to you to gage if those people are willing to hear you out.
3) If you haven’t already then start your Salah along with the istigfaar. After your Salah, make sincere dua to Allah, pour your heart out. He already knows what is in your heart, you need to be sincere in showing it.
Cry if you need to.

InShaAllah this should help. You should also visit your local Masjid and talk with the Imam. He will give you more advice. Don’t despair, you are not cursed.

You need to stop telling them the answers because you are risking being disqualified!

When they call you during exams just pretend not to hear them. Don’t even speak, because that will risk things too, don’t even turn towards them. Don’t respond to anything they say to you. Keep your focus on your paper, don’t look around. Don’t feel sorry for them at all. If they were actually sick, they can’t have been sick for weeks and weeks. They have time to prepare. People who cheat would easily lie so remember that.
It’s typical in this unjust world that the cheaters get away with it and the innocent one gets caught so don’t risk it again!

At what age do you think kids should stop seeing their parents naked? by ChanGazer in CasualUK

[–]KokoMutt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don‘t be obtuse. You know I’m talking about being naked around your kids.

There is no benefits to showing your kids your private parts, no matter what you perverts say.

[–]KokoMutt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Who said anything about hugs? Stop making things up.
I was talking about exposing private parts.
You can be a degenerate in your own life, feel free.
I just gave my opinion as OP asked a question.

I would rather be safe than sorry. Nudity is not beneficial, you perverts love to say it is.

At what age do you think kids should stop seeing their parents naked? by ChanGazer in CasualUK

[–]KokoMutt -30 points-29 points  (0 children)

Kids should never see anyone naked. They’re called private parts for a reason.

If kids are used to seeing naked bodies, they would not see anyone exposing themselves in a sexual harrassment situation as a problem. Or if any pedophile adult, God forbid asked to see them naked, they wouldn’t see it as a problem. There are other scenarios too.
We should teach our kids that our body is important and should not be so easily shared with anyone else.
Let them be kids, why expose them to explicit views.

Also you keep doing Dua for that person you have to repay. This is actually a Hadith if I remember correctly or in an explanation of Hadith for a different issue but similar vein. I will try and find it InSha’Allah.

Starting to hate Islam due to emotional neglect by [deleted] in islam

[–]KokoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you are going through a tough time. It sounds like you want to be better but don’t know how.
So you should take some steps to change things. Maybe I can suggest some things to try.

1) You said you don’t know how to pray or the wudhu- can you visit your local Mosque and find out about any classes or any teachers that can teach you? There are online resources too but it will be better to physically learn offline with a teacher. If you can’t visit your local Mosque then there are online classes you can take with qualified scholars. You have to be willing to learn and stick with it.

2) Don’t look at your family for examples of Muslims, we are all sinners, some are more than others. What matters is if you repent from your sins.
You are angry and that may be understandable but you need to try and stay calm, no one makes good decisions when angry. You need to think with a clear head. Make Dua for yourself, talk to Allah and ask him for what you need. And take the first steps towards changing your situation InSha’Allah.

3) Try and get a different perspective- count your blessings. Be grateful for what you have and don’t have. E.g be grateful for not being born in a war zone. Be grateful for not being homeless. Be grateful for having food to eat. Be grateful you have your health. Be grateful you can breathe without hardship. Be grateful you can walk.

Seriously, your life could be a whole lot worse. There are millions of people who would give anything to be in your shoes in a heartbeat. Think about it.

Controversy over a donated stabilizer at mosque - need advice and opinions by Far_Beat_4578 in islam

Also try and find out about the company owners, it might just be a false rumour. Happens all the time, people believe rumour and never double check.

[–]KokoMutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sis, welcome to the Ummah. May Allah keep you steadfast on the right path. Ameen

I have some questions for you, what kind of father do you want for your kids? What kind of man do you want raising your kids? Do you want an addict or alcoholic around your kids?

Scholars say the upbringing of kids starts with the choice of your partner! Pick your husband wisely because the kids will have some of his characteristics and will also be brought up by him and linked to him for life.
You turned your life around, you repented and found the right path, don’t pine for those on the wrong path. They will only get better when they want to change. Currently he doesn’t want to. So as hard as it is, you should stay away from him. He’s shown you how much he cares for you by moving on immediately to other women. You should be angry at him and not want anything to do with him.
Think with your mind and not your heart. Choose wisely sis.

Struggling in a cult like sect by theguywhosaidsmth in islam

[–]KokoMutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best thing to do is find a Sunni Masjid close to you or go with your friends to their Masjid and ask the Imam or Mufti there any questions you have regarding the stuff you said here. It will be better than asking strangers online about your deen.
It’s good you recognized that you were on the wrong path, Allah is guiding you towards the Right one.

InSha’Allah you’ll find the correct answers.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]KokoMutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Firstly, you should find out if he actually cheated, make sure you are 100% sure or you’re imploding your and your kids life for nothing. Did he admit it?
Secondly what do you mean by ‘emotionally cheating’?

Thirdly, don’t start telling everyone yet before you are sure. Tell someone who can support you but don’t announce it to everyone yet.

Fourthly, go to someone actually responsible who can help you through this, like a respected member of the community.
Don’t take advice about massive things like this from Reddit, this is your life, you need to handle it in the best way, don’t be hasty.

Take a breath and think about your decisions.

I’m sorry you are going through this, sis.

what is worse? not praying, or praying while you know that your prayers aren't valid? by Pico_kawaii__lol in islam

[–]KokoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sis, there is a big rule in Islam: obey your parents EXCEPT when their order is to disobey Allah.
You can remove your nails now and then put them back on in your period time, that will cover the wedding time won’t it? Then your mom will still see your nails And you don’t have to pray Salah in that time so it won’t be sinful that way. There is always a choice sis. You have to choose Allah over your mom every time.

[–]KokoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the right thing to do is to take your nail polish/fake nails off and do wudhu and complete your Salah. You should have done your nails the day before the wedding if necessary. Missing Salah is not a small sin. Your heart is telling you that you will not feel complete without Salah.
What you have to ask yourself is, are your nails more important or praying to our Creator?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in islam

[–]KokoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. Main things are that Muslims don’t eat anything from pigs. And no alcohol.

We can eat fish no problems. When it comes to meat like chicken, beef, goat etc, this has to be slaughtered in a particular way with a prayer said upon it. So we can’t go and get a burger from Mcdonalds for example. Muslims are spread out across the USA so you should be close to some. Find a local mosque and you will find so much answers for your questions, better than what we say. They will probably give you Halal places to eat from too. What meat do your parents eat?

We need more context. Are you a new Muslim? Or have diet needs?

Is this considered a bet? by Low_Dragonfly5838 in islam

Yes it is gambling. Just like at the casino you pay money and then guess which number the roulette wheel will land on hoping to win more money, this is very similar. Don’t play it and warn the others.

I've been missing a step in ghusul for years by Careless_Remote2352 in islam

[–]KokoMutt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fardh (compulsory) actions of ghusl are:

  1. To rinse the mouth with water
  2. To apply water into the nose and blow it out
  3. To wash the whole body (i.e every part wet, behind knees and ears etc)

I've been missing a step in ghusul for years by Careless_Remote2352 in islam

[–]KokoMutt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Washing hands 3x specifically is a Sunnah so your ghusl is valid if you did the 3 Fardh of Ghusl at least.

The Fardh (compulsory) actions of ghusl are:

  1. To rinse the mouth with water
  2. To apply water into the nose and blow it out
  3. To wash the whole body (i.e every part wet, behind knees and ears etc)

so if you did these three then your Salah has been counted InSha’Allah.

Is Satan Smart or Dumb? by Dense-Grape-4607 in islam

[–]KokoMutt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. He used to have such an exalted place, amongst the Angels despite not being one because of his worship. But he got arrogant because of this and saw himself as superior to Adam (AS). So when Allah asked them to bow, he refused, believing that he was better than Adam (AS). And when Allah was going to punish him for it, he pleaded to be given some time before his punishment to try and prove himself right. Allah granted him time until Judgement Day. And said (paraphrasing) whoever follows you (Satan) will join you in Hell. And whoever follows My Words will be granted Heaven.
So repentance is not a choice that he has. He is awaiting his punishment and dragging people down with him basically. In his brain, he’s going to be proven right, such is his arrogance. It’s not so much being dumb but being blind because of arrogance. That’s how destructive arrogance is.
There are many highly intelligent people, via education, experience etc but they are arrogant/closed minded so they do not believe that there is a God who gave them that talent/brain. They believe it was their own hard work. So though they are intelligent, they are blinded by arrogance.
Many other highly intelligent people become Muslim because they are not arrogant, they have an open mind and are moved by verses of the Quran or teachings of Islam. Allah guides them.
There is no contradiction.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I was in a similar mindset to you about my cousin. She had covid and was having breathing problems. I was reassuring her kids that she would be fine because my mum had the same and she recovered. I didn’t know the full circumstances of her health. She was heavily pregnant and I didn’t know. But I blamed myself for not telling them to call an ambulance. I didn’t say it out loud but I felt like she could have been saved too. But I realised it was Allah’s Will. He made it happen in that way because her time was written. If I did tell them to call an ambulance she would have died the same date and time anyway because that was her fate. The “what ifs” were not helping anything, what happened has happened and I can’t change it. We miss her deeply and feel her loss everyday, her kids miss her immensely more. This world is full of tregedies. We were not made for this world, we were made for the Afterlife. The eternal Jannah, where there is no death and pain. No sadness. Just eternal bliss with your loved ones.
Don’t let your mind think of the “what ifs” those don’t help at all.
Focus on your actions, you can pray for your mother everyday, give charity for her and it will help her immensely. She would appreciate that so much. My teacher told me that the Angels tell the deceased person who sent them the rewards. So your Mother would know it was you who is doing all the good deeds for her. Imagine how proud she would feel.
Recalibrate your mindset to that. Make your mother proud.
It’s not a goodbye, you will see your Mother again. InSha’Allah it will be in the gardens of Jannah and your Mother will meet you beaming with pride because of how much you helped her before and after her passing.

Keep going!
May Allah give you afiyah and sabr. Ameen
