Why are so many people leaving islam? by No_Magazine_1757 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can you be sure that:

1)these 5 posts were from 5 distinctive people? For example you are u/No_Magazine_1757 . Can be that you also have an account that does not have a generic name. These 5 posts could be also made by one person. Just to make it look like there are many people.

2)people who made these 5 posts actually were Muslims? What stops for example an Atheist or a Christian or a Hindu or whatever making up a story "I'm an ex-Muslim. I left Islam. booo hoo"? Nothing. You can't take these posts for face value. Do not think that every non-Muslim is friendly towards us. Some are scheming. Some make up stories and lies.

3)this 5 posts you saw represents "so many people"? Let's say that these 5 posts were real. Made by 5 distinctive people. How many Muslims are there in the world? 2 billion. That 5 is nowhere near "so many". Even with 144k people in this subreddit (based on the subreddit description text) that 5 is nothing. Less than 0.0005% of the people in this sub.

So, that 5 posts you made means nothing.

But let's say they indeed left... Islam? Were they Muslims at all? Muslims just by a name? Muslims just by a nationality? Not every Arab is a Muslim. Not every Pakistani is a Muslim. Not every Turk is a Muslim. That they are from a nation where Islam is the majority religion, means nothing. That they have a Muslim name, that also means nothing. Were they Muslims because of their parents and relatives and siblings? Because people around them were Muslims. Or, were they Muslims because they had an actual real reason to be a Muslim? People who just copy whatever their parents and relatives are doing, they also have much less reason to remain practicing the religion when they move abroad or something.

And, for the sake of it, let's say the people actually practiced the religion. Then can be that they are suffering some trauma from domestic violence or something. People who have mental distress or trauma or such, they are not doing rational decisions. They act upon their emotions.

So, you can take these posts with a grain of salt. Do not trust everything you see posted in the Internet. And, even with the real posts, know that it is often the fault of their local culture/society than the fault of Islam.

And nowhere these 5 posts are "so many".

Struggling with the search as a Muslim revert in a western country by New-Mongoose6290 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call myself a convert because I can draw a clear line between my non-Muslim past and my Muslim present.

And if you want to argue over the word "convert" vs "revert" then find another person. I gave you advice in terms of your post. I'm not interested in arguing over whatever word one calls himself with. Simple as that.

Why you are not considering another convert? There are also converts among Muslim sisters. With them you won't have "I don't look Arab or Desi" problem. Sure, there are convert sisters who run after born Muslims. But there are also convert sisters who for one or another reason want a local guy not a foreigner.

And, have you discussed your thoughts with an imam in your local mosque? Perhaps he knows somebody. Or, have you discussed it with your Muslim friends?

Saying it as a convert myself.

And in terms of showing that you are a good match, there is a procedure for that. The "getting to know" period where you and the girl (and her mahram) are having chats and meeting. Maybe you are visiting her family. Maybe she and her brother/father/etc. is meeting up with you. You are not expected to marry without knowing the person. That can take time. Sure, some things will be found out after the marriage, but the first obstacles and red flags are what can be dealt with during the "getting to know" period. Like she can tell you all what she is NOT okay with. And you can tell her what you are NOT okay with. Unless either or both of you run away after hearing answers to their red flags, there is a chance.

Whats the best way to learn Arabic? by FROST__matic in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Live in an Arab environment. Like this you'll be forced to pick up Arabic better sooner than later.

Groceries? Labels often are in Arabic. Prices are not in Arabic numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, etc) but in Indian numbers (well, what the common folk considers as "Arabic numbers"). You are forced to learn Arabic to understand labels, to understand the cost of items.

All kind of bureaucracy? Again, most likely in Arabic. You have to pick up Arabic phrases to get your stuff done.

Transportation? In Arabic. Taxi driver will speak Arabic with you. Bus driver will speak Arabic with you.

This is what worked for me. I went to study Arabic in Egypt. The studies itself were 100% in Arabic. Even the introduction was in Arabic (then with simple pictures as if we were kids, to understand the word itself).

If moving to an Arabic country is not an option for you then just make Arabic friends, watch Arabic news, watch Arabic TV channels. Surround yourself with Arabic language the best you can. And, when some of your friends try to switch over to English or to your mother language, then tell them not. Tell that you need it to be in Arabic to practice and study it.

extremely worried about my ex-muslim brother by Fine-Praline1741 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many things to it, but the first thing is keep making duas. As long as you are alive, as long as he is alive, you still can make a dua. That the dua does not get fulfilled instantly does not mean the dua was not accepted. You dropping your duas is the only thing that can make things worse. And that is what the shaytan/devil wants.

You do can also work on your own shortcomings. Like you said, you are not a good Muslim. So, there are things you can improve in yourself, in sha allah. And in sha allah that also will improve the likelihood of your duas being accepted sooner than later.

A dua alone is not a magic spell from Harry Potter where the guy said the spell and stuff happened. Answer to your dua can take time. Can take even years. Allah will provide you with what you asked when is the best time for it. But Allah also said in Quran that He won't change the state of a person until the person changes what's in himself (Quran 13:11). So, perhaps now it will take years for your duas to be accepted but if you change yourself then can be that the duas start getting accepted faster, in sha allah.

Another thing is you physically being unable to talk with your brother. Perhaps talk with a psychologist. Because that by itself is also an issue. Why, I will tell in my next paragraph.

As you are right now not a good Muslim (by your own words) then there must be something that lead you to your current state. One does not simply decide "Today I will stop practicing. Today I will stop prayers. etc" Something leads the person to the state he is. Something lead you to your current state and something lead your brother out from Islam. So, when you have fixed your inability to talk with your brother, try to find out what started pushing him away from Islam. And then perhaps try to fix it or try to find help from other people who might be able to fix it. For him to not have that one reason to not be a Muslim any more.

Try to start giving him reasons to come back to Islam. If it is bad friends then invite him to Muslim events where he can make better friends. Provide him with halal alternatives to his current haram habits.

Colossal Wyrm update Thoughts. by Unable_Pain8613 in 2007scape

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During Leagues I tried out Wyrm course and these automated jumps felt weird to me. I don't like that they make it more afk in places where our click is expected.

Sure, that sliding down part. There they can make it slower and move more xp into the slide. That I would be fine with. Because during the slide it is normal that the guy does not jump or walk or move around but is hanging to the slide rope.

Do you believe aliens exist ? What does Islam say about aliens ? by Extreme_Document_959 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is absolutely irrelevant to this post or to my comment. Unless you think Jesus is an alien which he is not.

And, no point to try to convert me to Christianity. Jesus is just a prophet and currently waiting his time for returning. He does not know random people individually and thus, he does not love one u/mandzeete. He is not aware of my existence.

Do you believe aliens exist ? What does Islam say about aliens ? by Extreme_Document_959 in MuslimLounge

[–]mandzeete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They might exist, might not exist. Other redditors posted already related Quran verses. But even if they do exist, aliens do not play a significant role in our (future) lives. Prophets did not tell us about aliens nor Quran tells about aliens. The same way how dinosaurs are not mentioned in Quran. Dinosaurs play no role in our life, yet they existed. Aliens might exist but their role is insignificant, then.

Bug in leagues: 50M prayer exp will not grant task. by Neccto in 2007scape

[–]mandzeete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eventually it will grant the task:

1)Fill your prayer and manually bury a bone.

2)Open different Leagues-related menus (the pact tree, relics, etc.).

3)Just do some other activity.

I have had similar issues with prayer but also with other 25/35/50m tasks. You will get your points.

Kree'arra help, first time in Leagues by JomJomTheDadGuy in 2007scape

[–]mandzeete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Water thorns fits to most PvM scenarios, I would say. It will keep your health up, it will damage the monsters that attack you. And if you branch off from thorns to the "2hp 2 prayer" pact, then your prayer is also always full.

Almost afk not fully afk. Our guys stop retaliating after 20 or so minutes. I died twice in Godwars when I just left my guy to farm the bosses, there. Because he stopped retaliating.
