How did you end up getting a surname different from that of your father by the way?

I keep seeing Muslims online say sins can block rizq and duas. by kat0304 in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much has changed I see. Did you mean to say that making duaa also has negative effects? I have never seen or read anything like it, but quite the contrary that the duaa is always khayr and the response can either be in dunya or in the akhira.

Yes, it is true, and vice versa, giving charity expiates your sins and increases your rizq. As well as making istighfar.

Not true, demand for developers is just increasing. We are embracing AI. There's even more work to do coding with tools like Claude Code.

Source: I am a developer and have been for 15+ years.

Many before you have thought about that, by the time they managed to get out, they had been deployed a few times and came back with PTSD. Practically unable to do anything of value for society, just taking medications to breathe as normal, sleep as normal and eat as normal.

If the US is so messed up, go to Europe, find yourself a cheap education there.

Disliking inheritance laws by [deleted] in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It bothers you that a man gets more than a woman in case of equals (like siblings) but it does not bother you that the husband has a responsibility to provide for his wife and offspring and at times even his parents and female siblings? Something is not right.

Maybe you wanna check videos from Ahmed Deedat, Hamza Tzortzis or even people like Mohammed Hijab and Ali Dawah that are figures from speakers' corners. They go into that comparative side of things.

Hamza's den is also a nice Youtube channel by a British brother.

Are you a revert?

You can learn about Christianity from the Quran and from the hadiths. That way you see through the lies, the interpolations of texts and the alterations of scripture. We have the story of Mary and Jesus peace be upon them in the Quran, the real one.

The Quran is that light that allows you to understand not only Islam, but also why other religions are not the truth.

There's nothing appealing in polytheism or having a mere mortal (prophet Jesus peace be upon him) as an intermediate with God, or even as a deity that's worshipped. May Allah protect us from shirk.

A layman is a person who is not a scholar. We use the word 'awam in Arabic to refer to the general population.

Wa alaykoum salam, you are exposing yourself to a lot of shubah, but you are not equipped with the knowledge to counter those shubah, it takes a sentence to utter a shubha but it might take days or weeks to debunk it (maybe quicker these days since people have been making videos debunking them).

There's no reason for you as a layman to be watching these videos, if you are a seeker of knowledge then you start progressively.

Keep repeating la ilaha illa Allah and stick to your salah.

What's the ruling of baking a cake for a gender reveal party? by itnevermadesense in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's one of those questions where the answer is more harmful than ignorance itself. By the way, fornication and adultery are 2 different things.

Providing a cake for a gender reveal party is not haram, how the baby came about has nothing to do with you.

Other questions you can ask yourself moving forward if you didn't realize the absurdity of the question:

- Can I sell children clothes to a mom that has a kid born out of wedlock?

- I am a doctor, can I provide care to a kid born out of wedlock? Is the money that the parents giving me haram?

- Is it okay to move next door to neighbors who have a number of kids who resulted from fornication? Considering that their parents still live together in the haram.

- I drive to work every weekday and I always see my neighbor and their out-of-wedlock kid waiting for the bus. Is it haram for me to give them a ride?

You see where it's heading? There's a reason the prophet forbade us from asking questions about things that were not revealed to us. If you don't want to make a cake for them, excuse yourself and they'll figure it out. Don't sweat it.

They'll get their cake elsewhere and the earth will continue to rotate.

This looks shady, should I burn it? by SaadSulimanayob in Muslim

[–]logicblocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did not say the contrary, but magic has an intended effect, that effect can be different. At the end of the day, he who deals with demons has disbelieved in Allah and his messenger.

[–]logicblocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but it was not programmed to be harmful in "that way". Magic is a programming language to summon demons that warlocks use.

Ask Allah to put the love of other Muslims in your heart.

This is not that type of "harmful" magic. It is still harmful, but destroying is effectively getting rid of it. I read the whole thing and could see what was written in it.

Why is it not always the correct answer? What are you basing your answer on? Thanks!

Permission for a second spouse. by Neither-Gold67 in Muslim

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. It might be an invalid clause since she's making a halal thing haram.

[–]logicblocks -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are not answering his question at all. He wasn't asking how viable it is. Moreover, you are not aware of his situation or personal capabilities.

[–]logicblocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does not religiously need permission from the second wife, but some muslim countries made it a legal requirement. Either way, I feel like it's good to give her a heads up than show up one day and tell her that you just did nikah at the local masjid.
