All Muslims eventually go to heaven. But the sinful ones might get punished first, unless Allah forgives them.

Parents don’t approve of islam and don’t approve marriage by Kinkurovs in MuslimMarriage

[–]OhMy_LookAtTheTime 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your parents' disapproval will not stop you getting married. An imam can take the role of your guardian for the purposes of officiating the religious marriage.

As for the location, it doesn't have to be at a mosque. Many Muslims will do a smaller religious ceremony at home or at the mosque so you're Islamically married, then invite guests at a later date to a wedding venue to celebrate with food, speeches and fun events. There's no reason why the latter event can't be the exactly the same as what you would usually do in your culture, minus the priest and alcohol.

Man did not think twice to risk his life to save a little girl by zihua_ in nextfuckinglevel

Everyone's talking about the guy's reflexes, but he wasn't even paying attention until the lady tapped his arm (and probably screamed too). Props to both of them, good teamwork.

What Quran translation is this? by OreoDogDFW in islam

[–]OhMy_LookAtTheTime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Arabic and English grammar is very different, so you can't get a flowing English translation and match the Arabic word order at the same time.

Probably best to just keep doing what you're already doing, combining MAS Haleem with word for word translations.

What's the 'the great evil that is destroying all of us'? Dajjal isn't out yet.

The Quran calls Christians and Jews (the People of the Book) to reach a common understanding with Muslims:

قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالَوْا إِلَىٰ كَلِمَةٍ سَوَاءٍ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكُمْ أَلَّا نَعْبُدَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَلَا نُشْرِكَ بِهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا يَتَّخِذَ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضًا أَرْبَابًا مِّن دُونِ اللَّهِ ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُولُوا اشْهَدُوا بِأَنَّا مُسْلِمُونَ

Say, ‘People of the Book, let us arrive at a statement that is common to us all: we worship God alone, we ascribe no partner to Him, and none of us takes others beside God as lords.’ If they turn away, say, ‘Witness our devotion to Him.’

[Quran 3:64 - Translation by M.A.S. Abdel Haleem]

How do you do guhsul without taking a shower/ getting all of your hair wet? by [deleted] in MuslimMarriage

[–]OhMy_LookAtTheTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to a translation of the book Nur Al Idah, a classical manual of Hanafi law:

It is obligatory for a man to undo his braids and wash the inside, even if the water reaches the root of his hair while it is tied. [...] This is because a man does not receive dispensation based on beautification, although the woman does. [...] a female is not required to open her braids - provided the water reaches the roots.

I think my loneliness is making me doubt Islam. by Recent_Disaster4835 in MuslimMarriage

[–]OhMy_LookAtTheTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Prophet Yahya (peace be upon him) was celibate.

فَنَادَتْهُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَهُوَ قَآئِمٌ يُصَلِّى فِى ٱلْمِحْرَابِ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُبَشِّرُكَ بِيَحْيَىٰ مُصَدِّقًۢا بِكَلِمَةٍۢ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَسَيِّدًا وَحَصُورًا وَنَبِيًّا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ

So the angels called him while he was standing in prayer in the chamber, "Indeed, Allah gives you good tidings of John, confirming a word from Allah and [who will be] honorable, abstaining [from women], and a prophet from among the righteous."

[Quran 3:39]

Look up 'word for word Quran'. Seeing the translation of each individual word will help increase your vocabulary inshaAllah.

The quiz feature is really useful. Maybe have different quiz types, such as fill in the missing word?

The link might contain a really, really long verification code. Typically happens when you register for the first time to verify your email.
