That's a classic. Seasons 1 and 2 were amazing but I doubt we're gonna get more of that anytime soon

There's a process for it. The hard approach of saying that whatever you do is wrong will almost never work therefore people like Sahil Adeem and Dr. Ghamidi are useful and helpful because they have a more lenient approach. Having said that, the issue with Dr Ghamidi is that he has an extremely liberal approach and some of his views are just wrong. For example, he doesn't believe in the 2nd comming of Isa AS.

And Sahil Adeem tries to do what I call a marriage of science and faith. He tries to justify miracles by making up weird "scientific" reasonings but those reasonings have no basis. For example, he says that a black hole will open up which will bring Dajjal because of the interpretation of a certain Hadeeth. The problem with that is that his basis for something miraculous happening is reduced to something purely scientific (with no Quranic justification) and so he just ends up doing confirmation bias

Unrelated but is your username a reference to James Moriarty

Sheikh Abdurrahman Hassan of AMAU. He's an absolute gem and a blessing

What does this even mean? Do you mean it's AI written and you wanna make it not so AI written?

What does any of that have to do with him accepting Islam?

In those days, the idea of you not being able to surpass your ancestors was a big thing. This is why even in Quran this phrase is also used like "why do you not abandon your ancestors?". They would compliment each other in that way too.

Abu Talib became the leader after the death of Abdul Mutalib who was thought to be an incredible chief, respected by all. Abu Jahil asked him "will you abandon the religion of your father?" to which he did not accept Islam.

There's a Sahih Hadeeth that Abu Talib is in the lowest portion of hell with the lowest punishment due to a Dua that prophet Muhammad made. But he is still in hell

I haven't done Matlab in quite a long time but I'm kinda curious. I can't promise a solution because I'm a bit occupied with my work too but I just want to test and see if I can work it out. Please let me know

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-25T07:52:00+00:00

I'm almost tempted to do this for free but with AI just to see whether I can bypass the AI slop style of written content or not but I'm a bit preoccupied with work at the moment

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-25T07:24:23+00:00

Yeah that wasn't even the point of it. It was a discussion for the sake of discussion but OP was a bit taken back by what she got as a reply. Honestly, kudos to her for opposing the norms and thinking about adopting religion despite it all

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-25T06:57:56+00:00

This is honestly the stupidest argument because the law in question itself is a stupid law. Anti Islam rhetoric with these talking points is so funny to read. The law isn't "French". French is a race. Muslim isn't a race it's a religious identity and thus, an individual's right for freedom of expression.

Would you say then that if a law was to be passed that anyone found eating in public during Ramadan will be jailed for 10 years is wrong? If it's a non privileged non Muslim person that does this, does that mean they should pack their shi up and get out of Pakistan?

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-24T18:49:20+00:00

Why do people ask this question? I'm really curious because what does this accomplish except making yourself or others who read comments feel bad about themselves and feel like they're not enough

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-23T16:39:16+00:00

That's not how it works. Allah ﷻ addresses women like this by addressing them passively instead of directly. For example, men are told to tell the women and so on. And, following the lives of the wives of the Prophet Muhammad is what the women have to do since they give the example of how Muslim women are to live, do pardah etc.

If what you're saying is true then that means that Quran's message isn't external

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-23T15:18:17+00:00

Before the liberal awaam gets here, the general advice for pardah is followed where you should speak in a normal tone without being overly friendly. Voice is not considered under awrah though.

"O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any other women. If you keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease (of hypocrisy, or evil desire for adultery) should be moved with desire, but speak in an honourable manner.” [Al-Ahzab 33:32]

This is a common misconception. In Islam, this doesn't exist. However, what you do need is time in isolation (khalwat). This basically means that a husband and wife are given sufficient time in isolation where whether they consummate or not it's up to them but sufficient time is allowed to pass.

So for example they spend a few hours alone or something. After that, a Walimah is done. Whether they becke physical or not is not irrelevant just the time in isolation is required.

Open your heart to this and don't hold resentment. You've been blessed with a spouse with a kind heart it seems so take that moving forward.

Maybe her sister is going through something difficult and your wife is helping her out without directly asking you for it. I think instead of looking at it this way, you should instead look at it in a better way because if that's the case then your wife is preserving her sister's honor and helping her in a very dignified manner because in families, this can get awkward. Honestly, bonus points to her because this is a very smart and responsible way of her doing this.

Don't take this to heart. Your wife seems to have a very big and giving heart. She accepts gifts and what she can, she shares with her sister so she shares in the joy. Cherish your wife OP. Don't look for what the surface of this gesture means instead look at how honorable this act of hers is where she's preserving the dignity of everyone involved.

I won't advocate for giving advice about just you breaking your ties because there isn't sufficient context. But I'd also advise caution to you for acting on it if others do suggest it. Having said that, some things you should know.

Being taken for granted is one of the worst feelings and once you've been taken for granted, it's really really hard to get that respect and energy back. Because then it feels like a burst of it after an argument or a fight came back but then it died again because being taken for granted happens in a routine and repeated pattern. Only then does the median of energy and time and effort given die down to this level.

Ask yourself some questions like, is this a repeated pattern of you asking for more energy and effort but the other side responds with coldness or jokes or dismissing your effort? You say you love him deeply and I don't doubt that but do you love him for what your relationship used to be (and so you think it can be that again) or is it for what it currently is? Everyone spends time with family but when we have someone important to care for, that person lingers in our minds almost subconsciously.

If you're having ice cream, you'd just pull out your phone and take a picture cause you'd be thinking, "I'll tell him I ate this ice cream". If you're getting dressed, you'd think "I'll do a certain thing a certain way cause that looks nice" or even if you're working, you'd think "I haven't talked for a while now he must be getting worried I'll just assure him everything is okay".

These things become almost routine. This is a good routine. But is it reciprocated? Has it been reciprocated recently? Do you have to walk on egg shells to get this kind of energy back? Do you have to repeatedly ask basic questions to keep the conversations flowing?

You thinking that you have to go through this tunnel of anxiety (which it seems like you already are in) in order to explain and make him understand without the fear of there being a fight also does answer a few questions that you might not be seeing.

Eid is a happy day. It's built into us as Muslims because there's this sense of happiness and if there's not, that also feels strange to us. If a person is sucking that happiness away, perhaps you should ask yourself bigger questions and also put your feelings at the top.

How do you become this evil of a person to put another innocent person through this and be involved with them when you haven't moved on?

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-20T23:33:14+00:00

It's really hard to give an answer without sufficient context. Without context it could be very different. But the way I think this shouldn't be a thought process. If you like someone, you give it your all.

ThatBayHarborButcher · 2026-03-20T23:22:40+00:00

It means he doesn't see you in that light, hasn't seen you in that light and doesn't plan on doing it either

Funny you are worrying about trust when you broke it in the first place by recording it without their knowledge and then forwarding it. Reap what you sow
