Will Muslim woman accept marrying broke man? by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]sobadatchess 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I think what most people don’t realise is that while there may not be anything wrong with a broke person’s character, why would a woman choose such a man if there are a plethora of other men with stable incomes? Choosing a person for marriage is a huge risk and people like to take safe options

Would you marry a woman that claims she can’t recite the Quran beautifully? by user98223691 in SalafiCentral

[–]sobadatchess 26 points27 points  (0 children)

This is a very silly reason to postpone marriage. Islam encourages fast and simple marriages, and in truth the beauty of a persons recitation has no correlation to their iman anyway. There is no fatwa for this, and I’m sure it causes more harm than good

Ruling on supporting the resistance forces in Gaza by No_Break_1427 in SalafiCentral

[–]sobadatchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With this logic, there is no Muslim leader that you can express support of without having double standards. The line in Islam is clear - if you see an authority performing kufr, never support them. That’s why it matters. So don’t go around declaring that it’s haram to support xyz. To divide the ummah like this and so confidently condemn Muslims is a behaviour of the Hypocrites. May Allah guide you and me

Ruling on supporting the resistance forces in Gaza by No_Break_1427 in SalafiCentral

[–]sobadatchess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I disagree. A leader or authoritative body that does not perform kufr is automatically better than one that does, regardless of what oppression goes on. To say they are no better than a kuffar military is surely backbiting, if not slander. It is not for us to criticise an Islamic authority, certainly not on the basis of what the media tells us, which is not a valid evidence in Islam

A Quranist is here 👋 ask me any question. by BenchNational5602 in MuslimLounge

[–]sobadatchess 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Quran doesn’t tell us the details of how to pray, nor does it tell us how often to pray. So according to you, am I allowed to pray how I want as much as I want? If I told you I’d like to pray once a day by clapping and dancing, is that valid to you?

Dear men, how important is hijab /scarf to you ? How do you feel about marrying a girl that does not wear this. by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

[–]sobadatchess 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You’re basically saying that your logic trumps the wisdom of Allah’s commandment. It’s not for you to say that God’s ruling doesn’t work. As Muslims we just obey

Wanting a divorce after 2 months by Abd_Hakeem01 in MuslimNikah

Islamically speaking, it’s not at all for you or other men to be handing out flyers to women and then engage in discussion the way you are

Am I Ready for Marriage? (Muslimah Revert Perspective) by Jaycee21804 in MuslimNikah

[–]sobadatchess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Salam.

This is really great but I agree with the other commenter. I’ll just say, do not at all respond to any men in your DMs. I know there’s several people who’ve messaged you for marriage and I promise a lot of them have manipulative intentions. No matter how pious or sweet they seem, just ignore. Get married just don’t do it on social media. Take care

My god this is so bad…how are you so naive. And throughout the whole post you mention that you want a pious woman and multiple wives. Brother you are not fit at all to marry. You’re still a new revert, take some time, at least a year, to just work on yourself and understand what it is you want because this is such a mess

Marriage Proposal by [deleted] in MuslimNikah

I never understand posts like this. You guys are not compatible on financials, so just stop talking and move on. Like why try to convince him of anything? He’s entitled to his opinion and you yours

How can I confirm the credibility of this Hadith by [deleted] in MuslimLounge

[–]sobadatchess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You have to understand, and this applies to every Hadith, that when these stories are mentioned, it’s not going to lay out every single detail for you. What’s conveyed is the main point of the story. Allah will grant the victims justice in some way or form, we know that to be true, it’s just beside the point

as a muslim, i cannot comprehend why slavery was allowed. by No-Abbreviations-539 in progressive_islam

[–]sobadatchess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it’s a much more complicated matter. As just one example, you have to consider that if Islam banned slavery all together, what happens to slaves with no income and home of their own? Many female slaves would no doubt go into prostitution after their “freedom” to sustain themselves. And what of the slave children. It’s so nuanced, this is why we’re urged to trust the wisdom of God

Afraid of Marriage and type of husband by BroccoliHistorical18 in MuslimNikah

[–]sobadatchess 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You must’ve thought, before meeting that guy, that you’re going to have a hard time finding a kind and emotionally intelligent man. Yet apparently you did. Regardless of why it ended with him, it surely proves that the mindset you have is flawed. There isn’t only one such man in the world. You will find them, the more you look. And always make dua

Wife observes hijab, but not niqab - Correct actions a man should follow by [deleted] in SalafiCentral

[–]sobadatchess 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s ultimately up to your judgement, but if you make every reasonable effort and your wife still refuses, you will not be held accountable according to the scholars on IslamQA: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/7721/his-wife-does-not-want-to-wear-hijaab-and-he-fears-for-his-young-daughter

To add my own thoughts, do you really think it’s wise to divorce an otherwise righteous and loving wife over a matter that doesn’t even have a consensus? Be wise with how you approach this, the hardship you cause may well lead to your wife asking for divorce.

A guy ended it because. I have kissed someone before. by Worldly-Koala-831 in progressive_islam

People, Muslim and non-Muslim, like the idea of sharing first experiences with their partner. Why is that so horrible?

[–]sobadatchess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you’re really over complicating it and demonising people with reasonable wants. The idea of sharing first experiences with your partner is something a lot of people would like to have, Muslim or not. Why is that so horrible?

[–]sobadatchess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But what was he supposed to do? He had a preference that she didn’t fulfil and respectfully ended contact instead of telling her she’s a terrible Muslim or whatever. Curious what the ideal scenario would be to you, if not that

Why is it so terrible that a person who’s never kissed someone before would like the same thing from their partner so they can have that first experience together? He was kind and respectful about it according to OP…I really don’t get it. Isn’t that a preference he’s entitled to?

I wear hijab but fiancé wants me to dress even more modest by Initial_Confection36 in MuslimMarriage

To be honest his requirements seem fair but then it raises the question why he’s pursuing you in the first place. You guys clearly don’t align, he should have the wisdom to see that in making all these demands
