I don’t see any of that applying to redvelvet, as you seem to be implying.
@redvelvet Even an emoji alone can tell a lot about people, your verbal diarrhea is indicative of the life you have. Only an imbecile would believe that honesty and hard work are values everywhere. Are they the values in the most corrupt cultures? GDP per capita is 154th in the world, is that because of honesty and hard work? one of the top in producing fake medicines in the world is that honesty. As per stats here a society that believes in gender roles, women participation rates in the labor force is very low, I used to go visit some friends in welfare housings which were spread over many blocks, didn’t ever see an Indian or Phillipino there. Stats are not assumptions.
Here is a nice read for you.
We are a secular society here, yes chastity was a value but men could marry 4 wives, have 100s of sex slaves, could rape war captives, fathers could marry under-aged daughters for Maher, gays would be thrown off cliffs, rape victims could be flogged. Many forum members here post hatred against gays, jews, west, Hindus.

Yupp I know some who got arrested in Montreal and no one saw anything a miss there also. No one goes from zero to an extremist in a snap, there are people who fill their heads with hatred. Do you know those people? Many from a Calgary mosque went to fight with ISIS also, so who is filling their heads with this hatred? CSIS was saying the Muslim community was in denial.
I actually don’t know those people but I’m pretty confident that redvelvet isn’t one of them.
Any imam worthy of the title will encourage Muslims to follow the deen and to avoid what goes against it and that it is the best way of life. The ones whom I follow have mentioned that in the west we will find a number of things that people will indulge in that we don’t believe in and our job here is not to get into conflict with them on these matters, but that it should be clear to us that these are wrong as per our deen and that we should avoid them. We should raise our children with these same values.
One practical example of this was in University, they had this whole culture of drinking where people were openly invited to do so. So we would decline and tell them that drinking is haram according to our deen and therefore we don’t do it. If we ever had non-Muslim guests over, obviously we also wouldn’t serve them any alcohol. So we didn’t get into any kind of conflict about it while we ourselves avoided partaking in it.

The belligerent people are very loud and the rest of the people are complicit in silence. Yes, it was illegal for Montreal cleric to indulge in hate speech but there is also a lot of blame on those in attendance and thousands who watched on youtube without challenging and protesting and reporting. When we don’t stand up for what is right, we become wrong.
This time you used the right terminology and said it is haram in your deen and not merely haram and that is what this society is it gives freedom of religion, many misuses the freedoms and then the freedoms go away.
Funny how no admin took action on hummingbirds post against Hindus.
Haram as per deen term is redundant as far as I’m concerned, because haram and halal are always used to denote what are haram and halal as per deen.
If you see questionable content by anyone, report it.
I find it odd that you think an emoji can tell you anything about anyone (outside of their alleged mood at a given point in time) but make all this fuss about Istikhara.

I am quoting scientific research, Peoples thoughts lead to beliefs, which lead to actions, which lead to consequences. If I quote that if one often drinks and drives may end up killing himself or someone else is that the same as reciting scripture and predicting that such n such marriage will be good? Doctors here make probabilities of one having a heart attack based on genetics, weight, lack of exercise and give plans to reduce the risk. That is based on science and not tona totka.

I think Arab Christians could use the same Arabic terms. It is your Haram, not the entire world. You eating beef would be you eating Haram as per Hindus.Don’t you use English terms to describe things?
Yes, my father is a great believer in Istikhara before making any major decision in life.
When it comes to halal and haram, I use the Arabic terms. More comprehensive and quicker to say than their English counterparts. Besides, even if I used the “permisslble” and “forbidden” instead, the same argument can apply there (as in permissible/fobidden to me, not the entire world). Also, when they use the term halal here, then it also applies to the Islamic definition of it. If you walk into a halal section at the supermarket, it is selling what is supposed to be halal for Muslims, not just what halal would translate to by anybody’s definition.
My father is a great believer in Istikhara.
in my, Those people are totally wrong who are trying it…
Istikhara is to know about the right and wrong, to know about something is good or bad.
