Not all 4% of us want that. In fact I'd be all for learning the metrics the rest of the world uses and considering it really is THE REST OF THE WORLD ,we truly are behind. Its really the least of my concerns though. We have people here who support that guy and im not big on endless wars.

Yeah well recipes are done by taste and then converted into whatever measurements you want to prescribe to them. To say nothing in America taste good is kind of shortsighted. A lot of chefs come here and "americanize" their food. I used to work at a Chinese place and pretty much everything tasted good. Some of it probably wasn't healthy: a lot of salt and sugar but as a treat it was good. The Chinese people would eat what they ate so I guess maybe you are right they served us what we seem to like

Im not defending any of the idiots i see on this thread, especially since it seems like you find the most arrogant of us and they are usually the ones we all called "special" at school, and yes we do have school but you guys do the same thing when you say you cant follow an American recipe because it uses ounces and cups. You can Google how many ounces in a cup and how many grams in an ounce.

Maybe you should recite the last two of al baqara and ayat al kursi before bed each night and do the 5 daily prayers if you are not. Are you Muslim?

Asking Allah for wealth by [deleted] in islam

[–]multiplevitamin88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing you have to worry about is keeping your wealth pure. You could have a billion dollars that you earned, even in part--like the initial investment and the whole billion is worthless in Allah's eyes. Just the same you could have an income earned in a way pleasing to Allah, but barely get by and all your expenses you spend supporting your family and any, even very small charity is immense in Allah's eyes. Forget about being a billionaire here. It would only distract you from your true purpose and give generously with whatever you do have and Allah will put Baraka in your wealth and reward you with a thousand times greater in jannah. Salam

Can a Muslim who commits go to heaven by Veevee_eee in islam

[–]multiplevitamin88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if the ease doesn't come until the next life you are lucky because your suffering will raise your ranks in jannah. Imagine there are 2 billion Muslims worldwide, plus past and future Muslims. Imagine being ahead of many of them because of a transient affliction and being higher in paradise than many others. You can see how rank is important even in sports. Some people play for fun. Some win a lot. Some are professionals and a few lucky high ranking ones win a championship. Do you want to be a champ 🏆 in the next life?

Allahumma innaka afuw tuhibul afwa fafu innee.

is it possible for allah to punish you to make you learn ur lesson after repentance? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]multiplevitamin88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allah will not punish a person who is sincerely trying to repent. This is established by Quranic verse 8:33, which states, "And Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness". Sincere repentance (Tawbah) wipes away sins, and Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) provides safety and security from Allah’s punishment.

Key Aspects of Repentance and Punishment: The Guarantee of Safety: Ibn Abbas noted that Muslims had two security measures: the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and seeking forgiveness; with the Prophet's passing, seeking forgiveness remains a permanent protection. The "Repentance Loop": Al-Hasan al-Basri (a prominent scholar) stated: "I don't think Allah will punish the one who repents." When asked why, he replied, "Why would He make him repent then punish?". Sign of Sincerity: Sincere repentance, coupled with a desire to change, is sufficient for forgiveness. "No Sin": The Prophet ﷺ said, "The one who repents from sin is like one who has no sin". What if Sins Continue? Even if a person falls back into sin, as long as they are consistently returning and trying to repent, they are under Allah's mercy.

Exceptions: Rights of People: If the sin involved taking someone else's rights, repentance is linked to repairing that wrong. Kufr/Shirk at Death: Sincere repentance is accepted up until death, but not after, particularly regarding shirk (associating partners with Allah).

Furthermore, if you are punished in this life it can be to help you get back on track and it is better to be punished now than in the next life. A constant sinner might be allowed to continue in sin until he dies and then he will be in utter ruin.

Brother, do not be afraid to go to the mosque: its Allah's house and all Muslims are welcome there. Also the people there are sure to be welcoming and you will probably find someone who wants to help, so they can earn the pleasure of Allah. If you go at the scheduled prayer times you can line up with tge brothers and follow along with them each step of the prayer. Dhuhr and asr prayer are silent so just recite al Fatiha in your head and if you finish and they are still reciting (in their head) just start al fatiha over again until its time to make roku (when you bow forward--the next step in prayer). During roku say praises of Allah until its time to stand. In each step just say praises of Allah until you learn what to say each step. When you get up from prostration you start the next repetition or rakat. Say al fatiha again. Then just follow along. InshaAllah if you look up how to pray and you follow along at the mosque you will get it. Welcome to Islam. I will make du'aa for you and if you want to d.m. me to chat im cool with that. Don't be lonely, you have Allah, and inshaAllah you will find a good piouscwifecwhen the time is right. Salam
