And by the way…people all over the world have no issue celebrating Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc. No issue at all because these things are fun for THEM.
But when it comes to American holidays its all about how Muslims are doing bidat and becoming like the kuffaaaaaaaaaaaaaar.
same could be said about things too…like there is nothing wrong with having a couple of drinks or a bite of pork or some minor makeout session with a girlfriend/boyfriend… innit?
Right, because consuming pork/alcohol (which has expressley been forbidden) and committing zinna is on the exact same platform/level as dressing up like a minion from Despicable Me and walking to your neighbor’s for candy
Why do people turn these issues into a such big deal? Whether someone celebrates such things or not is a personal choice and a totally non issue. Who cares, really?
no…I think when it comes to matters of deen, the level/platform has been pretty clearly laid out.
there is no self-determination there.
unless I missed a chapter or two…
diwana pal, do you have a beard and all? or are you like the typical conservative type - singing on one forum, and posting singing is haraam on the other?
I do grow beard (even at the wrong place) until I shave it, if you are sooooo interested to know and be curious. Ultimately it is the fault of the testosterone I have no control on it.
Who are “typical conservatives” …
…and who are “typical enlightened, Maadern,
run of the mills ,
Aloofs,
sheep,
followers of their newly made masters”?
Islam can be as simple or complex as one makes it. One must follow the Qur’an and Sunnah of course, but what it comes down to is what is in your heart and how that translates to your actions and words.
