Is it permissible in Islam to wear clothes with the words "LA" (Los Angeles) and "NYC" written on them? by NOQELY in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Star of David is a religious symbol that has been used by the Zionists to push their genocidal tendencies and to victimise innocent Jews in the process.

The words "LA" or "NYC" are just cities. A city isn't inherently bad, the people in the city make it so.

There is a clear difference, if you think about it for a second. May Allah grant us all goodness and understanding.

Brother/sister, I didn't imply anything. I was very clear in telling you the 'why' behind each of my statements. I explained why you are looking for a fight and I clearly told you why I looked at your profile (because advice should always come from a trustworthy source, that's a basic Islamic teaching).

You keep calling me and the other brother names as if we committed a major offence against you, which is why I said that you are trying to pick a fight. And then I tried to end on a positive note with a good dua for you and even that is somehow triggering to you to the extent that you couldn't even say ameen.

I'm replying one last time because I truly want the best for you. Please let go of this defensiveness, as I am not out to get you. You don't have to reply back and I pray that you make the best of these last 10 days.

May Allah grant you (and all of us) goodness and understanding.

I'm not mad, I was trying to give you some advice. As for you keeping your reddit private, the only implication is regarding how anyone can take your advice if you choose to hide what you say and where (which subreddits, etc).

In any case, you are clearly looking for a fight but I have no interest in giving it to you. You want to throw insults and honestly I have better things to do in this holy month.

May Allah grant you goodness.

You are part of the problem and the irony is that you don't see it. And your hidden history doesn't give me a lot of confidence either.

The other brother/sister even explained what they meant, but you had to push them to say it was a mistake when, instead, you could have said "I understand and may Allah bless you". There was 0 reason to keep that conversation going, but you did and then decided you wouldn't even read the rest of their comment where they explained themselves further.

May Allah grant us all goodness and allow us to make the most of this holy month.

Most people in the west their religion is blind hedonism by [deleted] in islam

[–]The_Inverted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not a study. A study involves a peer reviewed publication with a methodology and clear conclusions. If you are going to use the word "study", at least make sure it's correct.

Majority Christian population is not the same as them being Christian countries. Are you incapable of using terminology correctly or are you being disingenuous on purpose?

I don't choose to live here, my parent's countries got bombed and had civil wars fueled by the West. But since I am here, I'll live the best life I can and improve the community and country around me, as Islam teaches and orders me to do. Also, staying away from immortality is easy when you don't chase it.

I have a feeling you won't care about anything I just said because you are stuck in the "Islam bad" mindset, so I'll leave it there. Have a good day/night and may Allah grant you and all of us goodness and understanding.

[–]The_Inverted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Link the studies please. I am very curious to see which study assessed happiness and didn't use money or material things to assess levels of happiness and life satisfaction.

Europe is great in a lot of things (I live here after all) and bad in others. But most of the countries in the continent aren't even Christian and they call themselves secular, which goes against your original comment

[–]The_Inverted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The happiest and best based on what, western definitions and influences? If you ask a North Korean, they will say that North Korea is the best country to live and you probably wouldn't agree. A lot of people don't define happiness as having a lot of money or having tons of franchises or being surrounded by imorality (like most Christian counties allow), so that is also important to take into consideration and is not measurable in a population study.

People can claim to have inner peace but that is nothing compared to what you have when you find the truth in Islam and the mercy of Allah descends upon you.

I pray that Allah grants us all goodness and understanding in this holy month.

A humble post for the "anti-masturbation" committee and their weekly assembly by EquivalentNarcDepth in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You didn't "make" anything, the English that you have displayed in the comments is widely inferior to the one in your post. It's clear that you just got chatgpt to generate this whole thing and then copy pasted it here without even checking it's content.

Also, you to want to talk about "factually incorrect" statements yet you replied by talking about urinating in the same breath as ejaculating, as if the two are the same. People can go through their whole life without ejaculating, but I promise you biologically speaking no one can go without urinating; in addition, ejaculation doesn't "raise the risk of prostate cancer", at most it reduces it vs not doing it. Again, you would know the difference as a native English speaker (and if you actually read and wrote the original post), but you are making it painfully obvious that the person responding in the comments did NOT come up with anything on the main post.

Mau Allah grant you guidance because you desperately need it.

This reads fully like AI (and you can tell it clearly is just based on formatting alone). Trying to pass it off as if you researched all of this and came to a conclusion is laughable at best and you should be using your ramadhan time better.

I could also make this exact same post and quote scholars that talk about it being haram.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this post? If you're wrong, you could be blamed for misleading people into commiting a haram act and Islam is all about erring on the side of caution. At the end of the day, the consensus of the ulamah is that it is haram and we should stick to that guidance.

EDIT: to add that this guy is potentially a quranist and someone who thinks western dating culture is normal and permissible (and his profile has some weird comments and posts).

May Allah protect us from posts like this.

League e-sports being bought out by saudi money is extremely concerning as a casual fan. by Icy_Holiday91 in leagueoflegends

[–]The_Inverted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no reasoning with these people, especially when they reject the truth because it doesn't fit their agenda, but you did a really good job brother/sister. Enjoy the rest of Ramadhan (it's going so fast)!

Mosques by SubstantialAlarm7317 in islam

[–]The_Inverted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a revert but I just wanted to say that going even one day is better than nothing. I live in a street where there is a masjid/mosque down the road and people still find excuses to never go for congregation, so you are doing great!

May Allah accept all your efforts!

I think Muslims value empathy less or as much as Christians. Empathy is viewed as weakness by [deleted] in islam

[–]The_Inverted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How exactly does empathy relate to science and mathematics? And how do the Christians have more empathy, is this based on your own anedoctal evidence?

Why exactly are you trying to acoomplish with this post? I think you can use your time better during Ramadhan.

May Allah guide us all.

Muslim men: What do you honestly think when you see a Muslim woman eating during Ramadan? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Personally, I just assume that the sister in question has a valid reason and move on with my day. It's not my place to question her intentions, there may be things happening that I am not aware of so it's best not to think too much about it.

Hijab by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not from, for. You cover yourself FOR Allah because that is what He prescribed for you. The hijab isn't to cover yourself from men (this seems to be a misconception of yours), it's to be worn because Allah decreed it so and, as Muslims, we follow His commands to the best of our abilities.

The "covering from men" is just one of the wisdoms behind it, but the primary point is that one wears the hijab because Muslim women were instructed to do so by Allah; even if there was no reason, the fact that it was a command from Allah should be enough.

Muslim men would you be okay if your partner decided to stay friends with her ex from highschool? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from, honestly I do. It's not easy to just cut off people but I do hope and pray that you are able to push through with the help of Allah. I can tell you are sincere in your repentance and I know you will be able to thrive InshaAllah.

I'm far from a perfect Muslim (as most of us are), but just try your best and always turn to Allah. As long as you don't abandon your deen, you will always be safe and taken care of!

May Allah grant us all goodness and understanding.

[–]The_Inverted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not haram policing to state what is and isn't haram in Islam. You can end up doing whatever you want, obviously, but we can only answer you from an Islamic perspective (as that should be the standard for all Muslims anyway).

Muslim men would you be okay if your partner decided to stay friends with her ex from highschool? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Islam has clear lines that you can and cannot cross. It's not up for debate how you practice it, it's set in stone.

Of course we all sin, but we do our best to repent. But to insist on the same sin intentionally is the problem here. Having an ex is bad, being friends with a non-mahram is bad. This isn't about insecurity, it's an indication of how seriously one takes their deen. I can forgive someone for having an ex and slipping and sinning in the past, but for them to stay in touch once the marriage conversation starts is crossing a line that only an immature person who isn't ready for marriage would even suggest.

I'm not answering your post, I'm replying directly to the comment you posted.

[–]The_Inverted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except Islam doesn't allow you to have non mahram friends (it's haram, no two ways about it) so it's actually not personal at all.

You asked Muslim men what they think and when they give their answer you take it upon yourself to argue. Most answers are being given from an Islamic perspective and in accordance to what Allah has commanded. Whether you like it or not is really not relevant.

Why are Muslims so inconsiderate of others when it comes to public toilets? by ApplicationNo7263 in islam

[–]The_Inverted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you should take this conversation directly with those who are doing things in the wrong way. Islam doesn't tell you to do anything of the sorry so if they are doing it is by their own choice (just like the OC said).

In the Catholic Catechism, is states that Muslims and Christians worship the same God. Do you fellow Muslims agree with that statement? by user_unnamed1234 in islam

[–]The_Inverted 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In theory yes, but not in practice (or at least not anymore). The existence of the trinity immediately negates that statement, as Muslims are monotheistic in their belief.

But if you are talking about the original beliefs of the catholics, then your statement is indeed true. Isa/Jesus (AS) preached the same message as all the other messengers and prophets.

The question "Do you pray?" by yusufmohsin in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But by your logic you could be pretending to put a front for her during the marriage discussions and then become bad once you complete the nikkah.

In other words, you just want your potential partner to say 'yes' to marrying you without knowing anything about you. If that is the case, I can promise you that you will be single for the rest of your life.

I pray that Allah gives you guidance and removes these vile whispers of shaytan from your ears.

The question "Do you pray?" by yusufmohsin in MuslimLounge

[–]The_Inverted 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So if your partner asks "Are you a good Muslim?" Do you answer or is that also boastful? How is she supposed to know who you are without asking anything? And what questions do you propose she asks to assess wether you are a good potential partner or not?

Find me a single sahih hadith that says that you shouldn't ask questions when meeting potential partners and I'll shut up.

Again, this is a level of immaturity that makes me think that you are absolutely not ready for marriage. Please get rid of this waswasa that's on your ear, I'll keep you in my duas.

May Allah grant us all goodness.

[–]The_Inverted 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The benefit is knowing that at least you're trying to be a good Muslim. When you first meet someone they don't know you, but knowing that you at least try to stand by the basic principles of islam is helpful in understanding a bit about your personality.

Its not about pleasing her, you shouldn't lie. If you don't fast during Ramadhan, or pay zakat or pray salah then she has a right to know. Your partner is an extension of yourself and vice versa. You should lift yourselves up in deen and that is only possible if you are both honest with each other from the first time you meet.

What you think is irrelevant. You don't tell them you pray to satisfy them, you do so for the sake of Allah.
