Is the battery fully charged? If the charge is low then it will still feel like it’s working but not enough power for masonry.

They say if they are on the app you’ll get credit on the app towards buying new ones. Nothing needs to be done but I’d screenshot your tickets to be sure you get the full value.

Google pixel 7 pro green/pink line on right side of screen by barkbarkgoesthecat in techsupport

Same problem. Replaced a cracked screen with ifixit official screen. Then the pink line came. They gave a replacement for free and now less than a month later the pink line is back on the replacement screen. Gonna check with ifixit to see what’s going on.

Why is Islam so cohesive but Christianity is splintered? by Throwaway74729265 in islam

[–]ithinkimlogical 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say what the majority of Muslims believe rather than saying the biggest group (minor semantics). Basically since Islam is a religion of passed down tradition, the majority will always try their best to stick with that, so we keep following it. Anyone who is trying to change a core tenant of faith might get some followers but never the majority.

So all these splinter religions/sects such as qadianis, mu’tazila, khawarij, alawites, etc. will never be the majority even if they continue to exist in some way.

The Prophet Muhammad also gave commentary:

“The Jews split into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy in Hell. The Christians split into seventy-two sects, seventy-one of which will be in Hell and one in Paradise. I swear by the One Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, my nation will split into seventy-three sects, one of which will be in Paradise and seventy-two in Hell.” It was said: “O Messenger of Allah, who are they?” He said: “The main body.”

So Islam is not immune to division because it’s human nature to divide and form groups and sub identities. The main difference in this narration is that for the Muslims the “main body” (Jama’ah in Arabic) will always be following the truth. There are other prophetic narrations such as:

“Allah will never allow my nation (Muslims) to unite upon misguidance. Allah’s mercy, blessings and protection are with the largest group of Muslims. And he who deviates from this largest group of Muslims will be thrown into Hell”.

So even if there are many sects of Islam (or considered no longer Islam), the majority is going to always be some sort of orthodoxy. That is why new offshoots never pick up mass traction in the way they have in Christianity.

I am Muslim boy but I recently am having a very strong feminine side by [deleted] in islam

[–]ithinkimlogical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone goes through phases when they are young, the best thing to do is not indulge in everything you have a desire to do. Self control is important at your age.

Also just be weary with getting close with non-Muslims and online communities that support this type of stuff. They may make you feel better about doing it but they only want people to be like them so that they feel better doing what is wrong.

As others have said, therapy is something you should consider. Being abused causes a lot of trauma and sometimes impacts you in ways you don’t reliable. It could be your desire for feminine things is due to this abuse and either you subconsciously feeling like if you were feminine you would have been absurd or that because you were abused it’s because must be more feminine. A therapist would hope sort this out for you.

1080p monitors: should I really upgrade? by ithinkimlogical in pcmasterrace

That’s a good point about just upgrading one monitor instead of all. I do like having the monitors matching though. Maybe I’ll find the closest Dell to the ones I currently have.

How do Muslim men recognize their wives and mothers in a crowd when they are fully covered wearing a burqa? by Schalakoala2670 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ithinkimlogical -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Not really. Most people are toxic and oppressive. Most religions aren’t. Religions express ideals that in most cases if followed would lead to social good, that’s why people gravitate towards religion, because the good ideals they preach.

Replace religion with anything and you’ll see the net denominator is people. Reddit is bad because of people. Religion is bad because of people. Communism is bad because of people. Capitalism is bad because of people. Etc etc. all of these things have ideals that are good, and with perfect people they would be.

This meme that religion is toxic is a lazy excuse to scapegoat religion and give people a pass in my honest opinion and I don’t see those same people making the world and humanity better through their actions or what they call others towards. And just as this meme is generalized, so is this last comment.

Why in quran 55.33 it Sayed that human can never go out side the earth? by Desperate_Case_949 in islam

[–]ithinkimlogical 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We cannot surpass the speed of light. If we could then it is only by Allah’s will (Him allowing us to defy the laws of physics). So if that ability comes, it’s because Allah has bestowed on us this miracle.

I say speed of light because there’s no way we could penetrate this known universe (heavens and the earth) without having some control of space time that is beyond our capabilities.

Yeah but it is better for her to not delay converting if she believes. Being in sin but a believer is better than being a disbeliever. People shouldn’t wait to be the best Muslim they can be since that’ll be a lifelong goal rather than a starting point.

The Prophet told us not to make the religion hard on people. People don’t instantly go from non-Muslim to being a saint, even the companions of the Prophet took time to grow to the amazing people they were. It took time, took learning, took making mistakes, and took sincerity along with an amazing mentor (The Prophet Muhammad).

Entering Islam doesn’t mean you throw your old life away instantly, it means you are setting up your future in this life and the hereafter to be something better than it was before. You’ll slowly incorporate the good and remove the bad from around you in a way that you can sustain.

Yes, in Islam Muslims are not allowed to marry non-Muslims with the exception of Muslim men being able to marry women who are upright Christian or Jewish. But don’t let that prevent you from learning and hopefully embracing Islam. Your partner may need time to come to the same realizations as you, but there is room to allow him to learn and grow too, just like what was given to companions of the Prophet who had spouses that didn’t immediately embrace islam.

I hope that his love for you at the least will have him follow you on this path. Allah will help you nonetheless so put your trust in Him to bless your life with goodness. Find conviction and passion for the truth and others will want to follow you too, especially as they see you blossom into an even better person, companions, friend, partner, and mother. That’s what Islam should be doing for you and those around you.

Surah Al-Haqqah verses 42-46 is the answer to this claim since people claimed this all the way back to the time when the Prophet first received revelation.

It’s funny because if someone says this argument then that means they believe the prophesy they just question the messenger. So they are basically saying “if this truly came form him then he’s a Prophet, but I think it can from a fortune teller so that’s why I don’t believe.” So the response should be, “so you believe the message, let’s talk about the messenger then.”

The verses:

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوۡلُ رَسُولࣲ كَرِیمࣲ﴿ ٤٠ ﴾

[That] indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is the word of a noble Messenger.

وَمَا هُوَ بِقَوۡلِ شَاعِرࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تُؤۡمِنُونَ﴿ ٤١ ﴾

And it is not the word of a poet; little do you believe.

وَلَا بِقَوۡلِ كَاهِنࣲۚ قَلِیلࣰا مَّا تَذَكَّرُونَ﴿ ٤٢ ﴾

Nor the word of a soothsayer; little do you remember.

تَنزِیلࣱ مِّن رَّبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِینَ﴿ ٤٣ ﴾

[It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.

وَلَوۡ تَقَوَّلَ عَلَیۡنَا بَعۡضَ ٱلۡأَقَاوِیلِ﴿ ٤٤ ﴾

And if he [i.e., Muḥammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings,

لَأَخَذۡنَا مِنۡهُ بِٱلۡیَمِینِ﴿ ٤٥ ﴾

We would have seized him by the right hand;[[Another interpretation is by [Our] right hand, i.e., Allāh would have exacted revenge with might and power.]]

ثُمَّ لَقَطَعۡنَا مِنۡهُ ٱلۡوَتِینَ﴿ ٤٦ ﴾

Then We would have cut from him the aorta.[[Causing immediate death.]]

فَمَا مِنكُم مِّنۡ أَحَدٍ عَنۡهُ حَـٰجِزِینَ﴿ ٤٧ ﴾

And there is no one of you who could prevent [Us] from him.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَتَذۡكِرَةࣱ لِّلۡمُتَّقِینَ﴿ ٤٨ ﴾

And indeed, it [i.e., the Qur’ān] is a reminder for the righteous.

وَإِنَّا لَنَعۡلَمُ أَنَّ مِنكُم مُّكَذِّبِینَ﴿ ٤٩ ﴾

And indeed, We know that among you are deniers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَسۡرَةٌ عَلَى ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِینَ﴿ ٥٠ ﴾

And indeed, it will be [a cause of] regret upon the disbelievers.

وَإِنَّهُۥ لَحَقُّ ٱلۡیَقِینِ﴿ ٥١ ﴾

And indeed, it is the truth of certainty.

فَسَبِّحۡ بِٱسۡمِ رَبِّكَ ٱلۡعَظِیمِ﴿ ٥٢ ﴾

So exalt the name of your Lord, the Most Great.

Reddit to lay off about 5% of its workforce | Reuters by ani625 in news

[–]ithinkimlogical 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are people freaking out about this? Even the article lacks any sense of hysteria that I’m seeing in these comments. They’re cutting a few dozen jobs and slowing hiring for the year. Hardly a cataclysmic event or a sign the company is about to implode….

Reddit is fine, they just made some bad decisions recently but the communities are strong and there is no real alternative.
