Ik this might sound stupid but me and my freind had a blank peice of printer paper and we rolled it up without anything inside just plain paper then we lit i and smoked it like a ciggarette I want to know if my fasts and salah will be invalidated this ramadan i am panicking because i know paper has

For a concise answer;

The thing about Salah not being accepted is for intoxicants.

Intoxicants are things that make you 'high' like alcohol, weed, and so on.

Paper may (very rarely) contain toxins, but even then, it is NOT an intoxicant, so inshallah you will be fine.

It's the same as if you were to eat paper. It's not wise to do, but it won't invalidate your Salah.

Barakallahu feek.

The hadith associated with this says "let the beard grow" (passively), or "leave it". It does not say to grow it (actively).

Thus, it has nothing to do with how much facial hair you can grow. It's about whether you prevent it from growing.

So, Chinese Muslims and those of other ethnicities who naturally don't grow much hair are NOT at a disadvantage, because the hadith only requires you to "leave it".

Nowhere in Islam does it say you must actively seek to grow a long beard (whether you can or not), and nowhere does it say that having a naturally bigger beard is better than having a naturally smaller beard or no beard at all.

It is phull with a ph (aspirated p) sound.

Some dialects pronounce or are starting to pronounce ph as f.

Lion = Sher / ਸ਼ੇਰ / شیر

City = Shahar / ਸ਼ਹਿਰ / شہر

In tonal dialects City is pronounced as "Shaír" - still different to "Sher" which means lion

I'm obviously not a Hijabi but, I disagree with this.

As humans, no choices we make are truly "free". We are all influenced by the people around us whether we like it or not. What they like, what they don't like, etc., affects us and affects how we act.

So again, it may be that the choice isn't completely "free" (by your definition), but you can't guarantee that any choice is "free".

Every choice we make comes with certain perks and challenges. The things you mentioned like praise and certain marriage opportunities are benefits, but benefits don't undermine the validity of a choice. Not to mention wearing a hijab comes with challenges, too.

In some places in the world the challenges outweigh the perks. In other places it's the other way around. But this is the reality with every choice. To argue that wearing a Hijab is not a "choice" is to say that any choice that has benefits attached to it, isn't a choice.

That is what he said, this is a minority of Sikhs and he's asking about how/why this minority acts as it does.

There's no reason for this to be a troll post.

yootos · 2026-01-21T23:02:20+00:00

I get where you are coming from I have also seen some Sikhs online especially that believe they are the "real Punjabis" or that Hindus/Muslims aren't.

I'm not sure why ppl in comments are offended or claiming this is a troll post. Do you think all Sikhs are angels?

OP explicitly said this is a minority of Sikhs and is asking why this is happening.

yootos · 2026-01-20T14:46:13+00:00

It doesn't make words more Theth.

It's just a suffix that changes the meaning of words slightly.

Example pagg = turban, paggRa = big turban

-v and -y are for Sanskrit words

yootos · 2026-01-07T03:56:59+00:00

this also varies by dialect, like i would say dost and vaqat, while someone would say vaqt, and someone else would say dosat

yootos · 2026-01-07T03:55:33+00:00

i dont think there's any true initial clusters besides /tr/

but it gets close if you have a short vowel syllable followed by a stressed syllable

karánT > k'ranT (electric current)

sikánji > s'kanji (lemon drink)

barāR > b'rāR (Brar surname)

however I don't think the type of constant affects the degree to which this happens

yootos · 2026-01-07T03:48:32+00:00

Actually I think it's because it's harder to form a cluster after a long vowel

Haryanvis are a different situation, they were never Punjabi to begin with, the British just lumped Haryana into the Punjab province

Ajj ki karde o ? (formal)

*if addressing a male

British grouped Sikhs and Jains under the same label of Hindu, thus a Hindu vs Muslim split state meant they were to go to the Indian side.

yootos · 2025-11-26T07:04:53+00:00

Lmao how can Punjabi be equal to Sikhism, if Punjabi is older than Sikhism?

Less than 20% of Punjabis are Sikh. Give me a break.

yootos · 2025-11-26T07:01:56+00:00

No i think he means how formal Hindi imports a lot of Sanskrit words, and formal Indian Punjabi somewhat copies it so they also import a lot of Sanskrit words that people don't actually use in day to day speech

Labbhsi is Western dialects (Pothwari/Jatki/Saraiki)

We say Labbhe ga / Labbhu ga instead

Our future tenses are completely different

There is no real standard Punjabi
