Its haram!!

I am tired of hearing and reading ‘its haram’.
This is hilarious! If you have noticed when people speak or paste a comment any where which they disagree with. You will see two words after that “its haram”.
Such as…
-its haram to fall in love
-its haram for girl to raise her voice in front of her hubby
-its haram to speak in front of parents
-its haram for a girl to speak up for her rights
-its haram to go against your elders wishes
-sitting next to a man is haram
-watching TV is haram
-its haram telling a girl you like her
-its haram to propose
-its haram for if a guy ask girls parents directly

Etc

I got a question what’s halal?
It seems to me almost everything we do is haram. I guess we are living in hell then…..

I see and read people stating their own beliefs and then quoting it with “its haram” it’s almost like as if there is a book that exist “its haram”.

I am afraid there will be more Muslims in hell than any other religion.

Re: Its haram!!

yeh i agree! im fed up of people sayin this n that is haraam without them doin proper research on the matter. it pisses me off too!

talk about double standards!

i came accross a thread once where a woman made a stupid point that.. can she adopt a child under the age of 2-3? is it allowed coz once that child gets older it may be haraam for that child to live with her biliogical sons/daughters coz of mehram etc! wot the hell is that all about man? these people worryin bout the slightest things.. when she normally talkin bout all kinda crap on the forum!

some twat come up to me the other day and he goes to me "why u drinkin coke for bruv?" im like "wot u talkin bout geeza" and he start goin on bout it bein a jewish company so its haraam etc. his like ur supportin the occupation by drinkin that...i felt like kickin him on the head. what about the NIKE trainers he was wearin? or the guardian and times newspapers he reads..or the bank account which he holds? or the Nokia phone he uses? he forgotten bout em or wha?

DOUBLE STANDARDS!!

Re: Its haram!!

Stop worrying about what others label as 'haraam' or otherwise. Go do your own research. I'm sure you'll find satisfactory and sensible answers that way, insha'Allah.

Re: Its haram!!

One of the things that you mention is actually really haram >> to speak in front of parents

rest are all madeup and hold no water.

Re: Its haram!!

Who says speaking in front of elders is haraam? Perhaps speaking in a harsh or rude manner may not be acceptable, but otherwise I don't see anything wrong with speaking to or talking back to the elders, especially when they are wrong.

Nia, what exactly are you slapping your forehead for? Don't let others dictate you what is right or wrong. There are plenty of resources that you can explore to find out answers, rather than taking non-sense from others.

Re: Its haram!!

Ok seriously uhmmm let me go thru this point by point. A lot of these things are nto as simple as they sound, there’s a lot more to it. From what I’ve learned, there’s a reason everything that’s forbidden or haram is haram; it’s for our own good.

-its haram to fall in love
**Becuase emotions ruin you. You’re “blinded” by love, and you can’t rationalize properly. Dating, love shove stuff before marriage is wrong and it is haram. Most of hte time ther eis a lot of sneaking around and lying involved (hiding a relationship from parents), a lot of hurt and uncertainty and pain; there is absolutely nothing good about dating before marriage.You can’t get around that and say that it’s right because you do this or that; that’s rationalizing bad behavior to make it sound right and that si wrong. **

-its haram for girl to raise her voice in front of her hubby
** A wife is supposed to obey her husband and he is supposed tot ake care of her, take her feelings into consideration before making every decision; he is the king, she is the Queen :slight_smile: If he is asking her to do somethign unIslamic, she has every right to disobey him. **

-its haram to speak in front of parents
** We are not to backbite, compalin or speak ill of our parents; there is no rule that says we must not talk in front of them. However, there are some things you wouldn’t talk about with your parents that you would talk about with your friends; there’s a pardah between fathers and daughters, less so with mothers and sons, though i’m not sure if this is Islamic as well or just cultural **

-its haram for a girl to speak up for her rights
** Uhm… NO! **

-its haram to go against your elders wishes
** Your parents do everything for you. Many sacrifice a lot in order for us to be happy and well adjusted, especialy mothers. Parents only wnat the best for their children, very few are really greedy and unscrupulous to sell their own children to the best rishta or something. That being said, we must honor them and not disobey them or speak ill and complain about them. **

-sitting next to a man is haram
** Well if you ever take hte NYC subway you should know :stuck_out_tongue: Guys will take up all that space and rub their legs up and down against yours, freakin pricks :yukh: **

-watching TV is haram
** Well what consists of our pop culture now, Pakistani or American, is haram. Until this craze of viewing luxury celebrity lifestyles, watching people hook up nad have meaningless sex and then wonder why they aren’t falling in love.. **

-its haram telling a girl you like her
-its haram to propose
-its haram for if a guy ask girls parents directly

** Most of your complaints seem to be about culturerather than religion. Our culture isn’t exactly the most Islamic. Please don’t think that Islam is all about “this is haram this is ahalal, we are all going to hell,” because that is a very defeatist attitude. Its a horrible feeling, being in such despair that we are definitely going to hell because every little thing we do is haram. So cheer up and realize that this is mostly cultural BS and can be overcome :slight_smile: **

Re: Its haram!!

that’s what I meant…

:bism:

17:23 Thy Lord hath decreed that ye worship none but Him, and that ye be kind to parents. Whether one or both of them attain old age in thy life, say not to them a word of contempt, nor repel them, but address them in terms of honour.

Re: Its haram!!

at the end of the day, rather then listenin to other people, it is best to do your own research and investigate yourself. there are all kinda books available these days and hundreds of websites to answer queries.

here are a few

www.islam-qa.com

Re: Its haram!!

dont mix religion with culture. Islam respects women in every way, they are our equals. too bad culture and quite a few back minded - narrow minded pakistanis have twisted it!

Re: Its haram!!

Yea exactly. I mean this si all common sense; oen good thing i can think of in our culture, we love and respect our parents :slight_smile:

Re: Its haram!!

i have a friend who hides from his wife and smokes marijuana daily! Yet he thinks eating fish fillet from mcdonalds is haraam..or eating veggie pizza outside is haraam! i hate it when we go out and he rolls up the blunts for himself ..and when we go for a bite he refuses to eat food outside cuz its HARAAM!

Re: Its haram!!

Nia, Most of the people that say something is haram have just heard it from someone else and they repeat the same thing without thinking.

We must use our own judgement about what is haram and what is not

an example: Now I wouldnt buy something made out of pig leather because I dont like the idea not because it is haraam like someone told me.

Its haraam to "eat the meat" not to buy stuff thats made out of its skin.

These people piss me off a lot too..

Re: Its haram!!

its haraam to open such threads :p

Re: Its haram!!

most things are Haraam, some are more haraam than others depending on your point of view and how bad the person next to thinks of you.

It is generally considered that haraam things done where no one can see you is non-haraam.

Re: Its haram!!

We actually got a smiley for this, here --------> :smack2:

Re: Its haram!!

I am impressed by your eloquence. :eek:
