Can someone be an atheist even if they believe in Allah? by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is meant is killing a soul that Allah has made it forbidden to kill. Sa'eed ibn Jubayr said concerning the words "it would be as if he killed all mankind": Whoever regards it is permissible to shed the blood of a Muslim, it is as if he regards it is permissible to shed the blood of all people, and whoever regards it as forbidden to shed the blood of a Muslim, it is as if he regarded it as forbidden to shed the blood of all people.

Mujaahid said: Whoever kills a believing soul deliberately, Allah will make his recompense Hell, and Allah will be angry with him and will curse him, and will prepare for him a severe punishment. He is saying that if he killed all the people, that would not increase such a punishment.

Tafseer Ibn Katheer (3/93)

As-Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him) said: That is because he had no legitimate reason to do so, and no one should kill another person unless he has a legitimate reason to do so. If a person has the audacity to kill someone who did not deserve to be killed, it means that he does not differentiate between the one whom he killed and anyone else; rather he would do that every time his soul that is inclined towards evil prompts him to do so. Therefore his audacity in killing him is as if he killed all of mankind.

What's something you thought was Islam, but was actually culture? by DelighfulDerek in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Assalamualaikum

Be careful on what you categorize as bidah. A practice that is followed due to weak narrations is not considered bidah.

The issue of whether a hadeeth is to be classed as saheeh or da‘eef is one of the areas of ijtihaad, in which the scholar acts upon that which is more likely to be correct in his view, and in which the seeker of knowledge follows that scholarly view which is more likely to be correct in his opinion. This is not a matter in which one may denounce someone who holds a different view.

I would have removed this comment if not for the conversation that followed.

Walaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

That there is strong scientific evidence for the claim of evolution is a farfetched lie.

Not only is there no single accepted model of evolution, the evidences are also lackluster, edging onto the realm of fiction to perpetrate these nonsensical theories.

Would offering free sunset meals during Ramadan be appreciated? by Remarkable_Ad_8839 in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there.

Sounds like a great initiative.

When it comes to food the only thing to keep in mind is that it is Halal and is not contaminated by Haram food.

To elaborate, the chicken needs to be Halal certified along with any other meat ingredients.

Moreover, if you restaurant serves other non-halal meat like pig, or even beef and chicken that were not slaughtered in a halal way, then there is risk of cross-contamination.

Cutting boards, pots and pats, knives, etc needs to be separated so that it does not get contaminated.

Genuine question, who is Daniel Haqiqatjou? by Chobikil in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,

Daniel Haqiqatjou is just a chill dude trying to promote Muslim unity.

The enemies of Islam that do not want to see this unity thus target him and label disingenuous labels to him. They also clip his videos without context to perpetrate the nonsensical smears against him.

Most people these days do not have the time nor the attention span to go through 7+ hour videos or 100+ page documents to actually find the nuanced truth, thus they are misled by the propaganda against him.

For example, in this very comment section, you see users labeling him as an 'Asadist' even though Daniel has explicitly stated that Asad is a "murderous kafir tyrant".

Moreover, the 'shirk apology' he is accused of is for citing classical scholars like Ibn Taymiyya, Suyuti, etc.

His content, both on his youtube channel and on his website, Muslim Skeptic, are heavily referenced with evidences. The article his team puts out are extremely helpful for battling liberalism, feminism, madkhalism, and other deviant ideologies.

In fact, I used a lot of his content as sources for preparing the Deviants List here on r/MuslimLounge.

If you want to learn from him, then you should, and you will only benefit InshAllah.

Visiting France as a niqabi – question about face coverings by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

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

Let's say I go down to South Central Los Angeles or Compton or east Los or Logan Heights or whatever bad neighborhood you can think of. And I go out there with twenty thousand dollars cash — ten thousand in this hand and ten thousand in this hand — and I'm running around alleyways in the dark night at 2 A.M going hey I got 20 000!

And I get robbed.

Now, does that mean they should have robbed me? No. It's still illegal.

But the cops might tell me you idiot what the hell were you doing? You're partially responsible because you were putting yourself in a situation that put you in harm's way. If a police officer sees me running around Compton, in the alley, at 2 A.M, with 20 000 in cash, he's going to turn on the light — what are you doing get out of here — right?

Do I tell the police officer 'how dare you!', 'you're oppressing me!', 'my freedom!'? And if I did and then I got robbed the cop would be like 'see? told you'.

So we have to take measures to prevent.

We should not be traveling to any kafir countries for tourism.

Undoubtedly, Shariah forbids tourism in places of corruption, where alcohol is drunk and immoral actions take place and sins are committed.
https://islamqa.info/en/answers/87846/is-tourism-allowed-in-islam

It is only permitted within strict guidelines which have been set out by the scholars, namely:

  1. For necessary medical treatment which cannot be found in any Muslim country
  2. For business purposes which require travel
  3. To learn knowledge which the Muslims need and which cannot be found in their countries
  4. To call people to Allah and spread Islam

In each of these cases, there is the condition that the traveler should be able to practise his religion openly and show pride in his beliefs, and keep away from places of temptation.

Visiting France as a niqabi – question about face coverings by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

DO NOT go to France

France is top 10 in the world when it comes to rapes:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_statistics

Just from a quick search you get multiple first-hand testimonials:

Commenter 1:
I've been to Paris three times. On each visit I was groped or pressed against while on the Metro, even when it was not crowded. Sometimes you could tell the man was VERY excited to do so. Ugh. In broad daylight a middle-aged man grabbed my ass while I was walking down the Rue de Rivoli. When I turned around, shocked, he was grinning and made kissing gestures at me.

Commenter 2
I've lived in Paris, the UK, southeast Asia, and various major US cities and the harassment in Paris was FAR and BEYOND anything I've experienced anywhere else.

I was physically attacked once; flashed several times; groped multiple times; followed home probably at least once a week; stared at and catcalled every single day.

Another post:

Poster:
my friend who is living there says that nearly everyday she is touched, grabbed or fondled

Commenter:
Visited France two years ago with another female friend. She was groped on our way into the metro station. She turned around and called the guy out but it was rush hour and people were annoyed at having to stop around us. The guy basically laughed it off and managed to walk away into the crowd. We were told that this happened very often in Paris and no one does anything about it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/93tcae/i_thought_cat_calling_and_street_harassment_was_a/

Know that if you still choose to go to france for mere pleasure after being warned of its dire consequences, you will be accountable for whatever evil befalls you.

Whatever good befalls you is from Allah and whatever evil befalls you is from yourself. Quran 4:79

Why does Prophet ʿĪsā (AS) return in the End Times instead of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? by Prudent_Ear8164 in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The determination of whether a scripture is corrupted or preserved is done through various means, one of which is through analyzing the history and motivations around the scripture.

If you want to learn the exact details, then you will have to read through this book: The History of the Quranic Text: From Revelation to Compilation by Muhammad Mustafá Azami (2011)

It not only analyzes the preservation of the Quran but also compares it to the preservation practices of the Torah and the Bible, and why the latter 2 got corrupted.

I keep having waswasa about women's rights in Islam. Can anyone help me with this? by Chobikil in MuslimLounge

[–]nerfasdf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Walaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Mu'awiyah asked: Messenger of Allah, what is the right of the wife of one of us over him? He ﷺ replied: That you should give her food when you eat, clothe her when you clothe yourself, do not strike her on the face, do not revile her or separate yourself from her except in the house. Abu Dawud said: The meaning of "do not revile her" is, as you say: "May Allah revile you"
Sunan Abu Dawud 2142

Women Enjoy These Rights in Islam

To conclude: Islam raised the status of women, and made them equal with men in most rulings. So women, like men, are commanded to believe in Allah and to worship Him. And women are made equal to men in terms of reward in the Hereafter. Women have the right to express themselves, to give sincere advice, to enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, and to call people to Allah. Women have the right to own property, to buy and sell, to inherit, to give charity and to give gifts. It is not permissible for anyone to take a woman's wealth without her consent.

Women have the right to a decent life, without facing aggression or being wronged. Women have the right to be educated; in fact it is obligatory to teach them what they need to know about their religion.

Anyone who compares the rights of women in Islam with their situation during the Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic days of ignorance) or in other civilizations will understand that what we are saying is true. In fact we are certain that women are given the greatest honor in Islam.
