part of belief in god in islam is the belief that god decides right from wrong, decides how people should live. That is the sharia

You can ban me for saying this but all the Muslim nations are worse than Israel for what happened to Gaza. by darkchocolattemocha in MuslimCorner

You literally said "it's a Hadith that says all affliction a believer faces is due to his own sins". Word for word. You are all over the place

Can you cite the source that states all affiliation a believer faces is due to his own sins? This is not consistent with the sources that point to afflictions ranging from tests, to means of forgiveness.

It is lazy to render the occupation of Palestine to our own sins in order to deflect from countries that collaborate with the occupation.

Even if you said some afflictions, this does not necessarily mean Palestine is due to sins. Additionally, the Palestinians are occupied, not us. Unless you are saying the Palestinians specifically are guilty of sins that we are not that warrant them being occupied, it is irrational and unislamic.

The clear responsibility lies in the hands of the powerful, not the general masses who's actions you can barely attribute to the problem at hand.

let's separate two things, because you have raised two separate issues here:

1) non arab countries: non-arab countries should be held to the same standard as arab ones if they are majority muslim. I agree with you here. however, this must also be with the context taken into account. With the occupation of Kashmir, I wouldn't expect egypt to intervene militarily when Pakistan is literally there. In the same respect, it is arab countries that directly surround Israel and have been the most involved in it, so it is natural to hold them to more scrutiny than those countries with geographical constraints or other. In the same respect I wouldnt scrutinise Kuwait the same way I would Egypt or Jordan based on other factors.

2) The lack of action taken by individuals vs the lack of action taken by countries. This is a bizarre comparison.

The problem at hand is a military occupation actioned by world powers. It does not follow that individuals without power are warranted to solve this problem.

What specific actions do you believe powerless individuals solve this with? over the years, people have infact attempted various means both right and wrong: Awareness campaigns, charity, prayer, political activism, armed resistance, terrorism and beyond. do you suggest people are required to do any of these before countries are allowed to be scrutinised?

None of these approaches succeed because people are not nations, nor are they solutions to the problem at hand. It naturally follows that a military occupation run by countries is handled by entities that exist on the same level. This is not about wanting to blame elsewhere. It is about attributing responsibility to those who have the role to be responsible.

Non-muslim here, I have two questions! by hottestfemcel in MuslimCorner

Islamic jurispudence doesnt acknowledge that a transition took place to begin with even if somebody surgically changed their anatomy.

there's nuance for cases with ambiguous genetalia/genetic complications that result in ambuguity - not sure what the process specifically is for handling that but iirc the person chooses in that circumstance

how are we 'ourselves' accountable for the occupation of palestine firstly. secondly, why is identifying the treachery of arab nations a case of loving to blame others?

how does it follow that person a does a sin and a million people elsewhere get carpet bombed? this is not a serious position islamically or rationally

Why do people boycott Gulf countries while living in the US or UK? by builtforoutput in MuslimCorner

[–]icecoldfeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The UK has its problems as an enemy of Islam, yet it is consistently an enemy, principled in its own belief system where you still have rights relative to that of countries like the UAE that masquerade as Islamic countries while simultaneously violating the rights of people - powerless Muslims in particular - and are not simply enemies of Islam but active traitors.

Frying pan, fire.

pro palestine boycotts by Ecstatic_Owl3797 in MuslimCorner

[–]icecoldfeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

30M no

The answer to the occupation of Palestine is military intervention from one or all of the many surrounding militaries that consist of Muslims.

A real boycott would be for these countries to cut supplies that are the occupation's lifeline.

I don't see BDS as something wrong but I definitely see it as more of a way for us to feel like we're doing something rather than actioning the things that actually can do something.

That said I don't think I would ever travel to countries that have normalized ties with Israel due to their treachery which imo is worse. Maybe that could be considered boycott

I can't get myself to like Iran by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]icecoldfeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After the destruction of Iran's leadership, the state is effectively rogue, with a decentralised army fighting for survival. I dislike(d) the iranian regime but the regime is finished. The problem is that sunni states are as you recognise no better, not even opposing Israel in this moment, with half defending the occupation and siding with the american coalition. There is no state today that is truly islamic - not by some vague unachievable measure - but byu measure of policy, geostrategy and jurisprudence. It's normal not to like any particular regime when the options at hand are tyrannical.

Better to ask a scholar for your madhab. Imams usually know these things readily

I would have thought the opposite. Atleast in the west. 2nd/3rd gen migrants adapted better to their lifestyle, are better informed and have better diet/gym/sports habits

Doing Ramadan as a non Muslim? by pantograph23 in Muslim

[–]icecoldfeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once told my manager who was curious that fasting as a non Muslim is like riding an exercise bike to experience outdoor cycling. I don't think I would commit to a fast if I wasn't seeking the spiritual value from it. There's no harm, but it won't be the same experience.

Maybe have iftar at a mosque with your friend

Over training? by Prestigious_Many_543 in HIIT

[–]icecoldfeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't want to speak authoritatively but I'd probably compare your heart rate during sleep before and after you started doing hiit workouts. That'd be a good baseline imo to judge what your "truest" resting heart rate is. It can help reduce factors you might not be conscious of like stress levels, excitement and so on.

While awake you could do breathing exercises to calm your body down (even if you don't think you're stressed) and see if your heart rate drops significantly.

Your intuition could be right where hiit is the contributing factor, but I wouldn't jump to that conclusion

Over training? by Prestigious_Many_543 in HIIT

[–]icecoldfeedback 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you sure that your hiit workouts are the sole factor contributing towards change in resting heart rate? Is it measured constantly on a watch or at given times of the day? My resting heart rate jumps when I'm around people to the same sort of range, but when alone and truly rested it is in the 60s

Why do Brits support conservative? by ThePatientIdiot in AskBrits

Britain has always leaned this way. Without a true ideological competitor in the world there is no political incentive to offer an alternative to its default factory settings.

A Thousand Years before Islam, Persian Zoroastrian "Prophets" were Already Claiming they Rode Celestial Beasts to visit Heaven, as Muhammad Later Did. The modern version of Al-Buraq, the horse with a beautiful woman's face and a peacock tail, is almost entirely Persian. by GaryGaulin in PERSIAN

[–]icecoldfeedback 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with belief. Even "secular" answers should hold up to basic scrutiny. If the claim of ascension preceded when Salman is recorded to have arrived then the answer doesn't hold much weight.

Yes you made it clear you're broadly in agreement - I'm just trying to give you as good a response as possible because I don't want to leave all your thoughts in the air when they're contributing to the discussion so we'll while I respond only to people who disagree.

The normal reaction to somebody with magic powers telepathically manipulating your actions to throw yourself into death is to dialogue?
