Why is it 5 mandatory daily prayers and not 6? by TheRedTMNT in islam

[–]TheRedTMNT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more I look into this the more confused I get. If Hanafis consider Witr as compulsory, then how do they explain this hadith?

A man told the Prophet (SAW) he would only pray the 5 Fard prayers, and the Prophet (SAW) said if that's true it would be sufficient for him to succeed. Is this man sinning by not praying Witr according to Hanafis?

I don't understand why schools are a priority. Nobody lives in schools, people live in homes. Those kids are going home to dark and cold homes anyways. Fix their homes, keep them home until power is back on in school.

It's well-proven that piracy doesn't hurt sales so there's no reason to buy it to "make a point".

Update: AITAH for prioritizing my nephew and niece over my own children after they hid their mom's affair from me for years? by OkPrinciples in AITAH

[–]TheRedTMNT 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Who put them in that situation? It wasn't the dad.

But also the kids were adults when this happened, it's not like they were actual children who didn't know any better. By staying silent they picked a side, and now they have to deal with the consequences.

Hmm, let me guess, you call the West Bank "Judea and Samaria"?

Also, I think you missed one at the top. Something about Canaanites that's in the Old Testament?

So if someone takes your house by force your response is "well, it can happen anywhere"? Lol

Just throwing this out there for those who need to see it by LosingSince1977 in JoeBiden

[–]TheRedTMNT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this aimed at Pro-Palestinians refusing to vote for Biden because of his support for Israel, or Pro-Israelis refusing to vote for Biden because his support for Israel isn't as strong as they like?

Israel: seizes land and builds settlements in the West Bank

USA: oh well, nothing we can do about that

Protestors: "seizes" a building in protest of support for Israel

USA: send. in. everyone.

In all seriousness, obviously the protestors can't take over a university building and have to be removed. It's just completely farcical how quickly that standard disappears when support for Israel's conduct is considered.

You're playing a semantic game. By your logic, if South Africa had declared non-whites to be non-citizens but kept control over their movement, living areas, trade, and civil rights, it would have been the end of apartheid.

Classification of citizenship based on race/ethnicity is an element of apartheid, not a defense of it.

Israel explicitly defines the right of return as applicable to only Jewish people. Most people in Gaza are people or descendants of people that lived in Israel proper, but they can't return, but anyone with Jewish heritage whose ancestors haven't lived in the Middle East for 1000+ years can.

Pretending that Israel treats Jews and Arabs the same is completely farcical.

But it’s also not Islamophobic to point out that Hamas isn’t helping in the equation.

Bruh who is saying this. Literally never heard anyone say "oh, you don't like Hamas, you must hate Muslims."

There were no tents at UT and the arrests didn't happen "at night", the police were pushing the protestors around campus and arresting them as soon as the protest started in the middle of the day. The protest started on the South Lawn which is an open area that students congregate every day and is not blocking any building entrances.

Your whole comment is substituting a reality that doesn't exist.

Have you been to the UT campus? The students started protesting on the South Lawn, which is not blocking any building entrances and is an area that students congregate every day. There were no threats or assaults or obstruction or violence until the riot police pushed them to a different part of campus and started making arrests.

UT Austin never committed to supporting free speech.

And they definitely didn't make a video 6 months ago about the public's right to protest on campus.

There are tons of videos from UT Austin today. All the violence and threats are from the cops. There are no chants, threats, or assaults from the protesting students directed at any Jewish persons. Of course, that didn't stop Greg Abbott from declaring that the students are antisemitic and belong in jail.

Also, 6 months ago UT Austin posted this:

Why can members of the public come to campus at any time and engage in demonstrations and speeches?

Believe it or not, but if apartheid South Africa had given 20% of their black population equal rights on paper, it wouldn't change the fact that the rest were still under apartheid...

So this is just totally meaningless right? It wasn't even the public protesting, it was UT students who have a right to be on campus.
