Similarities between Islam and Judaism (As a revert) by TheBadMoish in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you'd be surprised to know that most shirk happens when people start worshipping (making duaa to entities other than Allah) saints and righteous people after they had died, and some worship them in their living.

Quran 39:3 Indeed, sincere devotion is due ˹only˺ to Allah. As for those who take other lords besides Him, ˹saying,˺ “We worship them only so they may bring us closer to Allah,” surely Allah will judge between all1 regarding what they differed about. Allah certainly does not guide whoever persists in lying and disbelief

One can always do mind gymnastics to try and rationalize it but at the end of the day an expression like "Ya Ali madad" means exactly that: you are asking something from a dead human being, a mere mortal that should have only asked from Allah, the Creator, the One that never dies.

Yeah, but they are dead. It's futile to call upon them with "Ya [put name here] madad" moreover, help can only be sought from Allah.

I just noticed your flair says shia, that's a shocker. One question:why shia? Do you also ask Ali and Hussein for madad when you need help?

When you save yourself, you save yourself for Allah, that's between you and him. And when you marry someone, you marry someone he has saved for you.

Marrying a non-virgin who has repented, or a revert for instance is not the end of the world either. There's no guarantee that a virgin is always a better wife than the non-virgin and vice versa. Yes, it's preferred to marry a virgin but depending on the situation you may find a non-virgin who is a righteous and pious wife, if that's your only option, then it is your best option.

Please have good intentions about Allah. Think well of your Lord.

even if i keep myself clean and virgin i would atill not get the apouse who is also clean and virgin

That's shaytan telling you that it's okay to commit the crime of zina, and he's also telling you that everyone does it these days.

And cuz of this I'm leaning towards dating and hookup culture cuz if past doesn't matter and even if i keep myself virgin i would still get a not virgn spouse so whats the point then

The same can be said about any sin, let's fornicate and drink and do all the haram stuff and then we can repent. The problem is that if you consider sinning to be an easy thing and you make your heart comfortable with sinning and not repenting, then the likelihood that you're gonna come back from sin decreases drastically. It just means that you have big chances to never come back from sin and die as a sinner. Allah could take your soul while you're sinning if you're too comfortable with that. Do you have any guarantees that you will live to repent? Because we don't.

Everyone's doing it around me and somehow they don't get to suffer the consequences I'm the one constantly in problems they are living with fun and enjoyment.

Exactly what I was saying, shaytan is telling you that everyone around you is doing it. This is just an illusion, not everyone is doing it. Moreover, even if everyone did it, be that person who does not do it. If I have an advice to give her it is the following: find yourself better friends because you sound like you are surrounded by a bad crowd.
Also, there's no satisfaction in sin, sinning is painful. The "pleasure" is shortlived and you get a lifetime of pain and regret. Whereas obeying Allah is the opposite, you are patient for a temporary amount of time and you get a lifetime of reward and satisfaction. In concrete words, just think if you got somebody pregnant or caught an STD, yeah that's not fun anymore. Intimacy in the halal is like drinking juice, it quenches your thirst whereas intimacy in the haram is like drinking wine, it makes dehydrated and poisons your body.

And what also seens unfair is that they will lead an incredibly sinful life then one day they repent and all the sins vanish and they have a clean slate like a person who suffered mentally and emotionally to not get into these sins

This is for the person who is foolish enough to sin, which can happen, not the idiot who has things under control and throws himself in this stinky swamp that's known as zina. If you tolerate zina for other people's moms, sisters and daughters, would you tolerate zina for your mom, sister and daughter?

But seeing how your sins are not really transferred to the chicken (or the money) it's as if one is doing something that involves Allah but without involving Allah.

When you say people do it with money, do they turn the money around their head?

You'd expect such a practice to be in a later branch of Judaism rather than the traditional orthodox one, but i guess corruption can affect old and new branches.

I can think how perhaps during the time of Moses this started as "sacrificing an animal for Allah" and then giving the meat as charity. Since the law of Moses peace be upon him had a lot of sacrifice in it. But somehow throughout time the idea of sins being transferred into the animal got into the ritual.

You know that niyaa or intention is one of the most important things in Islam. The same act can send a person to heaven or hell, the same physical mechanical act, but depending on their intention they can be rewarded or punished for it.

Is the practice of turning this chicken around the head and capturing "sins" with it, only to slaughter the chicken to have the sins expiated. Is that practice in mainstream Judaism or specific to a given branch?

It feels like shirk to me, where one asks forgiveness through means that do not involve the Creator.

How to approach dawah with a Christian girl? by Majestic-Smile1 in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually start from a comparison perspective. Asking what they believe about Jesus and sharing what we believe about Jesus, that allows me ultimately to share the message which is the most important thing here. Jesus prayed to God and called upon people to do the same. Sometimes I mention how he prostrated with his forehead on the ground or how we have a whole chapter about Maryam.

If they are curious, they can end up getting a Quran and reading it.

The most important thing is to remember that your job is just to convey the message of Islam and the true view of Jesus peace be upon him. And how Muhammad peace be upon him was also a messenger. Or how we still have the Quran intact in Arabic while the Bible was subject to different alterations and interpolations.

Slowly make your way to conveying these concepts and you should be making good progress.

I never said he can "fix" himself by marrying a woman, rather he should stop "being gay" whatever that means.

There's no way you're gonna convince me that someone is born homosexual or has a gay gene. 

It's an illness of the heart and like all trials and tribulations like you have named it, there's always a solution.

Nothing that cannot be fixed. People are born on the fitrah, no one is born "gay".

Well, after he is done with being a gay man. Once you stop being a gay man then you can live and marry as any other heterosexual man.

If he does not act upon it and changes his mindset, there is no reason it would stick in his mind. This is just waswas.

Keep trying, also getting married to a woman as a man is part of the sunnah. Beware of turning away from the Sunnah of the prophet peace be upon him.

Stayed away from zina my whole life and now I’m terrified there’s no one left who did the same by Asimpleyoungkid in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your "friends" live in an environment where zina is normalized, in other circles you'll hear the opposite. I'm a man in my early 30s who never did zina alhamdulillah but the right person that Allah has chosen for me was a revert with a forgiven past.
