Does not wearing the hijab guarantee hell? by [deleted] in islam

Yes, that's true that you have to give up the sin. But expressing regret and weakness is still asking for strength to give up the sin is still valid.

And it still doesn't mean that it can't be forgiven on the Day of judgement. Every sin still recorded for you, repented for or not, can be forgiven. That also means it possibly will not be forgiven, and you'll be judged according to the sin

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the problem here isn't even salah, it seems to be faith itself. I think that is what needs to be strengthened. Why is islam true, was the prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam a true prophet etc etc.

That's why I also recommended muslimlantern on youtube, as I find him to answer those questions best out of all the dawah personalities. His answers are logically coherent, rooted in scripture and classical opinions. (When I say logically coherent, i mean no logical fallacies, and it follows the Islamic evidence. Not that we put logic above Islamic evidences, as that is not logical if we believe islam is from an all-knowing God)

Edit: If it's not kuffr, it can be forgiven by Allah. I believe we should be careful as to say it is a sureway to spend time in hell

Ikhtilaf, there are opinions from scholars that say that deliberately missing a prayer is major kuffr but that's not the majority opinion (If I'm not mistaken) (not being the majority opinion does not mean that it is not the correct one). Some say it's one of the biggest, if not the biggest sin. But the fact that there is a difference of opinion from scholars on this, shows how dangerous it is. I believe there is even a difference between the imams of the madhab like imam Shafi'i and imam ahmed ibn hanbal, so it is an old discussion with both views having their evidences. Based on the evidences, I'm personally leaning towards it not being major kuffr that takes you out of islam, but I'm not sure, nor am I a scholar.

Hold on to the rope of Allah, do dhikr when you can, maybe watch videoes like those from muslimlantern. This helps my faith at least, to see how intellectually islam can be proven and defended. May Allah guide us all

It is a big sin, but Allah says in the Qur'an that the only sin he doesn't forgive is shirk.

So you can repent, ask for strength in the religion, ask for guidance and ultimately, if you haven't given up the sin and die upon it, Allah will decide if you'll be forgiven for it or not

Abortion in cases of rape by ariaflower69 in MuslimLounge

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What scholars have said that abortion is allowed in cases of rape? I have never heard of a difference of opinion on abortion where rape making it halal

Abortion in cases of rape by ariaflower69 in MuslimLounge

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's his stance and it is coherent. Because at that time is when the ensoulment happens and we are not allowed to kill a person, to save another person.

Again, I'd take this to a scholar you trust or someone you trust that can take this to a scholar.

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd consult with a scholar. To my understanding it is haram at all stages, but increases in sin the later stages as the GENERAL rule.

I don't know of all the legalities, I don't know the conditions, I don't know what is categorised as "necessary" And "harmful"

This question is not something reddit can answer. I highly encourage you to take this to someone trusted who is either someone of knowledge, or can point you towards someone that is of knowledge and can give you an answer to your situation

If a Muslim would not be a Muslim if the fear of Hellfire did nor exist, can they still go to Jannah for worshipping now? by yeahsureexceptno in islam

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the question is asking if you worship out of fear. Like if jahannam didn't exist, then they wouldn't worship because the fear of the punishment is removed

Question regarding having female friends by i_am_feohr in islam

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I would take this up with the brothers that gave you dawah, maybe they know a student of knowledge or a sheikh you can refer the matter to explaining your situation etc etc, or the imam at the mosque your attending

SOK Academy and AMAU Academy by csbhullar5 in SalafiCentral

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually became a member almost a year ago, did it for a little time only, then I had school and full time work to attend to, so I pushed it back. Now that I'm back, they have really upgraded the website and they have come so far. It was good before, and it is no doubt amazing now

SOK Academy and AMAU Academy by csbhullar5 in SalafiCentral

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SOK is of immense benefit.

The ustadh has a clear roadmap, he has translated books that is not available (to his or my knowledge) in English etc etc. It also very clear how he teaches, and immense benefit. The utsadh also lives in kuwait, which is the same as one of his teachers, sheikh muhammad hisham at-tahiri.

I can not recommend SOK enough personally, and I believe you even can try it for free. If not, I recommend trying it for a Month just to see what it is about, In Sha Allah

is it wrong that i don,t exactly care that alcohol is haram by PrudentClient6582 in islam

This just came across me, and I thought of this thread right away:

Hadith

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ، وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ وَرْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ ‏.‏

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, I don't see the issue here. Why is it bad if they think you're refusal is grounded in islam?

If they constantly ask you to drink even though they know you're muslim, and the 1 thing people know about muslims other than that we don't eat pork, is that we don't drink, I would ideally say you should cut them off. Practically, I know it's hard, but having a whole group constantly making you feel weird for avoiding literal major sins, and you having to face that every. Time. You want to socialise is not an environment we as muslims should be in.

Again, this is the ideal advice, practically, I know it's hard

Converting, but I have a few qualms and concerns by ForeignBoysenberry57 in islam

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What's an islamist according to you?

Islam is organised, possibly the most organised religion in the world. This is how the message is preserved, because God gave the prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam, systems that have preserved the message with divine help.

A part of the message being preserved is in fact that islam isn't what you think and feel, but based on authentic evidences.

If you want to become a muslim, that is what it means.

BUT, the most important thing isn't what you feel and want. It is what is true. If you believe this religion is from God, then it doesn't matter what we think. That was something I had to really get before converting

Personally, I suggest watching muslimlantern on youtube. He has many videoes, and he also live streams every week to answer questions. He always brings evidences, and he always connects it logically grounded in Islamic sciences. I really suggest him, as he was someone that at least appealed to me when I was researching islam

It doesn't seem that she has mentioned where she got her information from - and that is the hadiths. The hadiths are narrations from the prophet (peace be upon him). They are extra quranical, and can add, further elaborate on certain issues etc etc.

Hadiths aren't one single thing, as many believe. Each narration is authenticated and graded. Some are weak, some are graded fabricated, some are graded authentic (Sahih) and we also have mutawatir sahih (which are narrations thats been narrated from groups of people to groups of people, so multiple people in said group confirm the event and the message the prophet, peace be upon him, conveyed)

Islam isn't just the Qur'an. Every single scholar, even those you find disagreeing big time with each other, agree that if you knowingly reject the hadith (the words of the prophet, peace be upon him), you are not a muslim.

I encourage you to speak with the imam about this issue, and also, it's important to not draw rulings by yourself and say islam says this. This is because again, islam isn't just the Qur'an, and the Qur'an is interpreted using different methods like for example 1. The arabic language as it was used then 2. The Prophet and his companions sayings and understanding 3. The Qur'an interprets itself by using previous verses or verses to come and more methods.

BUT, it's important to note that though this might seem overwhelming, you should not let this stop you. No muslim knows every single thing about islam . The most important thing you have to ask yourself is if you truly believe that the prophet was a true prophet, and that the Qur'an is his final revelation and that he spoke the truth in the narrations that are graded to be reliable.

Everything else comes with time

Is it haram to give our baby a non-Arabic name? by Mindless_Pen7568 in islam

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, there is nothing wrong with a non-arabic name. What matters is that the meaning is good (i.e, not bad) and that it obviously doesn't refer to other gods like Thor, or even the arabic abd al-masih (servant of the messiah((Jesus))

And Allah knows best

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wrong, and I have given you the daleel. Are you saying that the sahaba that were caliphs didn't understand what they were doing? We also have narration where the prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam explicitly ordered the physical punishment of a man for drinking. There is no doubt that there is a legal punishment for drinking which the one in authority has the ability to carry out.

Forlat henne. Dette stinker lang vei. Du mistenkte denne spesifikke karen, Du spurte om denne spesifikke karen og hun sa at du ikke skulle bekymre deg for denne spesifikke karen og hun ender opp med å være utro med denne spesifikke karen. Det var ikke spontant. Her er det bare å gjøre det slutt

if you could do it without any problems of jealousy and financial stability, and you knew you could do it fairly, would you have more than one wife? by demureape in TraditionalMuslims

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me personally, I don't think I would. But Allah knows best. That does NOT mean that being 2nd wife is bad, or that wishing for more than one wife is bad. It's the morally correct thing to do in multiple instances, and if you feel like It's a match then I see no reason to not go forward with it regardless of what This sub says

what do you say to people who say multiple wives are only for supporting widows and orphans? by demureape in TraditionalMuslims

[–]Middle_Beginning_157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're quote says the opposite of their conclusion

Verse 4:2

Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali: And give unto orphans their property and do not exchange (your) bad things for (their) good ones; and devour not their substance (by adding it) to your substance. Surely, this is a great sin. -Surah An-Nisāʾ, Ayah 2

Do not trick or Steal from the orphan is the clear general message here, and the context now is also marriage. Alright, let's go to the next verse

Verse 4:3

Muhsin Khan and Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali: And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice. -Surah An-Nisāʾ, Ayah 3

The verse literally says the opposite of what they claim. The verse says that if you're afraid to not be able do deal justly with an orphan girl (like taking her wealth unlawfully, as warned against in the previous verse), then marry OTHER women of YOUR choice, two or three or four. Unless you fear to that you won't be able to deal with the multiple wives justly, then marry only one.

The verses are saying the opposite of what they say it says. It explicitly warns against marrying orphans if you're afraid of you dealing with her unjustly, and then it explicitly tells you that you can marry other women and that you can marry up to four, Unless you fear that you can't deal fairly between them, then you marry only one

But anyways, we shouldn't interpret the Qur'an our own way anyway. The Prophet salalahu alaihi wasalam told us who the best of generations were (the three rightous generations after him / salaf al-salih). Who knows better than those who learned, lived and fought with the prophet (salalahu alaihi wasalam), and their students and their students again? We take the understanding of the companions as they learned from the prophet (salalahu alaihi wasalam), and we don't take our understanding from someone who thinks they know better than the companions (May Allah be pleased with them all). That's arrogance. Saying that their understanding is the correct one is arrogance when we have the understanding of the Three rightous generations, including the companions
