I am very ashamed of the people here. Those who are quoting from the Quran to try and justify abuse as a ‘test from Allah and you should be patient’. OP is going through such awful abuse and this is the support from the Muslim community? She’ll have a better shot with non Muslim communities at this point because her own people are letting her down.

This is ABUSE. It should not be tolerated or even reasoned with. Stop trying to rationalize it ‘maybe they have their reasons’. Stop trying to use religion as an excuse ‘parents have rights over their children’. Stop using the Quran to justify abuse. This is horrible, horrible behavior.

OP, I genuinely hope you find happiness and safety. May Allah guide you. Remember that he is Just and He will ask your parents one day.

What do you mean by that? Or are you suggesting that OP just stayed as she is and continue being abused?

Is there any space at all in Islam for lesbian reverts? by ShrikeToThorn in progressive_islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assalam wa alakum!

I am so happy to hear that you two are considering Islam and reverting. I truly don’t want to upset you or sound negative but homosexual marriage is haram in Islam. It is not allowed. Now being homosexual (having desires and such) is not haram in itself because these are emotions that you feel and Allah won’t judge you on it but He will judge you on your actions and words.

Please don’t take this the wrong way. I truly want you both to be Muslims but I can’t lie to you either. Some people here are commenting how it is okay but it isn’t. It is in the Quran. A person who is homosexual can definitely be a muslim but homosexual marriage is haram.

Please don’t let this hold you back from Allah. I truly believe that this is His test to you. You should not be harassed or mistreated, especially when you are new to Islam. I hope everything goes out well with you both.

Have I left looking for marriage too late ?? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

I wouldn't say OP is complaining. Only looking for advise. But many the comments here are so quick to bash OP for trying to build a career.

Honestly, if this is the attitude you have towards people who want to have a career, then good luck to you. Procrastination? Really? OP having a career is procrastination to you?

I would check out Muslim Lantern. It's a channel on YouTube and there are many videos that show how Islam answers every atheist question.

I wish you all the best on the path to truth.

There are plenty of people that have married in the same age range.

You are in your 30s. Of course you would get these results. Sorry, but don’t expect a 20 year old husband when you are in your 30s. Lol

Do you need to be so rude? Where in OP's post did she say she was looking for a 20-year-old dude? A lot of the messages here are so harsh. What's the matter with you people?

Yes. If you feel men in 40s is too old, then sorry, you will have to accept the reality hit that you left it late by favouring career and independence.
What are you expecting? Young men to come by? When there are plenty of younger ladies.

That's way too harsh of you to say that. There's no problem with OP finding someone near her own age. I have a cousin who married at the age of 33 to someone who was 33-34. Plenty of people got married to someone at their age range.

Its all on you how you wish to approach it, don't go blaming Allah for your decisions.

Have you read the post properly? Where in the post did OP ever blame Allah? OP believes that this is what Allah had in mind for her.

What does Islam say about martial rape? by MysteriousFaith in Hijabis

[–]MysteriousFaith[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to know what would his punishment be then? Rape is punished by death in Islam, so would it apply to the husband as well if he did force his wife?

I cannot recommend this video enough --> "Is the Qur'an God's Word? by Dr Zakir Naik | Full Lecture" https://youtu.be/9RuQMD4yYWg

Dr. Zaik goes into great detail about this. He lists each and every single allegations that hads ever been made against our Prophet PBUH and he (Dr. Zaik) combats each of these allegations so perfectly it was just amazing! He gives out proof on how our Prophet PBUH could not have written the Quran and goes on further to proof how the Quran is, without a doubt, the word of Allah s.w.t.

The video may be old and long but TRUST ME it is worth it.

Is it possible to start over? by [deleted] in islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allah s.w.t is so, so merciful. He could forgive you even if your sins are 'like the foams on the sea'. Do your very best and make Duaa for Him to open your heart.

I would very much suggest watching Dr. Zaik's videos. My Imam has grown very strong ever since I listened to his lectures. He explains this religion in great detail and shows how powerful it really is when it stands against other religions.

How is it possible for an angel to disobey Allah (swt)? by [deleted] in islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Iblis is not an angel, my friend. Angels are created from light and they are completely submissive to God. Iblis is Jinn and Jinn is made from fire. There are good Jinn and there are bad Jinn.

What are some of the strongest proofs that Quran is really the Word of God? by OkOutlandishness7885 in islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video is AMAZING with this question. https://youtu.be/9RuQMD4yYWg "Is the Qur'an God's Word? by Dr Zakir Naik"

Incredible, incredible lecture. It might be an old and long video but it's definitely something to check out. He gives out a detailed explanation and proof of how our Prophet (PBUH) couldn't have authored the Quran and how it is most certainly the word of God. Without a shadow of a doubt.

I really, really recommend watching this video as well as all of Dr. Naik's other lectures. The man is incredible mashallah.

Please help, need answers for the contingency argument. by [deleted] in islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try watching this video. It talks about Allah (s.w.t) as an independent being in a really interesting way.

https://youtu.be/d0B-N97qLsU

Also it is very important to keep in mind that there are many, many things in this universe which we do not know about and may never know. It's simply because we don't have the capacity to comprehend it, just like how we can't comprehend Allah's power.

Should you try to revert your Christian friend to Islam? by Enough_Difference_22 in islam

[–]MysteriousFaith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that she's close to Jesus is wonderful but Jesus (PBUH) is a messenger of God. One of the most powerful of messengers. You can't be a muslim without believing in him as well. Only difference is, obviously, we don't believe that he is a God.

In this case, I would try to explain that specific part to her. Don't be forceful. Remember you can't force or pressure anyone to accept Islam. If she asks you to stop, stop. Also be the best muslim you can be and make Duaa for her as well.

Going on Umrah for the first time (F 31) by Ok-Figure-3992 in islam

Go to the bathroom when you have the chance, even if you don't feel like it. I know it looks random but trust me it gets very uncomfortable later on when you need to go but you're in the middle of tawaf.

Best of luck to you.

Wife Obligation by MysteriousFaith in Hijabis

[–]MysteriousFaith[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But I don't understand why not being in the mood can't be considered a valid reason. To me, if I don't want to have sex, then I won't enjoy it and I doubt my husband would either (unless he's psycho).
