Get Your Bid' ah off my Lawn.: "I cannot say it!" →
abu-amatullah:
Ibn al-Qayyim said, “So it may become impossible for him to pronounce the shahaadah, as many people have witnessed happen to those on the deathbed, such that it was said to some of them: “Say Laa ilaaha illallaah.” So he replied, “Aaah! Aaah! I cannot say it!” And it was said to another, “Say…

When Muslims tout this "one ummah" stuff and then...
I roll my eyes. Differences of beliefs and opinions are a fact of life and have been a fact of this ummah for centuries. This is nothing new. Stop complaining. Seriously. People act like the Sunni vs Shi’a debate is new. It isn’t. And people have been against salafis for a hell of a long time too.
What’s even more ridiculous is this “stop creating divisions” argument. K. A little late for that...

Allah alone guides. I would hope that a non-Muslim encounter the truth about Islam rather than some watered down, feel good, everyone deserves a hug stuff. Lol.
Anonymous asked: What are your views on parents spanking/hitting their children as punishment?
cynicallyjaded asked: I want you to know that my comments were not intended as a slight against you. While you may have been correct in stating what is or is not acceptable behaviour as a Muslim, I believe you were wrong to go as far as slamming the questioner's integrity as a Muslim or questioning their sincerity. The moment you make it personal, you lose the value of what you're trying to impart and prompt...

I didn’t mean to come off as condescending and I definitely didn’t in my initial response to her question. Note that she regarded my response as too “Muslim” for her since she avoided this kind of answer by not asking people at the mosque, thus likening me with people she does not care for-Muslims- because of their beliefs- Islam. I took offence to her saying that she...

Really? Islam offers flexibility? That’s very interesting. I wasn’t aware that we all had to have the same exact level of iman in order to be expected to follow all of the commandments of Allah. If that were the case, we would be excused for skipping our prayers if we just weren’t feeling so Muslim that day. Get real. Iman goes up and down on a daily basis. It fluctuates on an...

I wish I had more time to devote to tumblr. I would like to start a series of posts on the hellfire. I think it just isn’t talked about enough. I don’t think we take it seriously because we don’t have any understanding of just how awful of a place this is. I also want to blog about punishment in the grave. I think this is also a mostly unheard of topic. We live our lives in...
Anonymous asked: I was asking on a social, realistic, and present aspect, such as ways to integrate islam, and spread it to the ones I love; not from a judgmental aspect. I know you do not mean to judge at all, but if I wanted someone to tell me I need to break up with him so I am saved in the afterlife, I would have gone to the mosque and asked someone there. We are on different scales of Islam, I shouldn't...

Anonymous asked: I didnt finish my question sorry lol! What can we do besides reading the Quran, and going to Islamic Meetings, to strengthen my faith, and Inshallah have him fully understand and accept Allah?
So we moved to a new apartment where this is no WiFi to steal. Won’t be posting too much until we actually pay for internet. Basement apartment=poor cell phone signal. The guy who lives upstairs is an elephant and stomps around all day and all night. Currently there are some stupid kids in the hallway making a rap video and THEY SUCK! This is going to be a long year.

Muslim Depression Survey
Asalaamualaikum, one of my acquaintances is researching on depression and suicide in the Muslim community. If you could publish the survey link on your blog for Muslim bloggers to answer the questions, it would be great! :)

Infinite facepalms.
comment: What does anarchism mean?
Simply put, Anarchy is rejecting all authority. So Islamic Anarchism makes no sense. Though I guess the idea is rejecting all authority except Allah. And that doesn’t even make sense because we do have to follow laws and respect authority. Anarchy is cool when your 13.

Seeing fellow Muslims support the Taliban and say that “they are the best resistance movement” makes me gag a little.
I feel like dying now.
The Afghans were happy when the Taliban ruled. Maybe not all but there was peace.

Happy? Happy? HAPPY? NO. NO. NO. Did you live in Afghanistan during their rule? Rather, did you survive...

A friend of mine is pulling her daughter from one of the local Islamic schools because she’s tired of paying 7,000.00 a year for an Islamic education and still has to explain to her daughter that Muslims don’t celebrate Christmas even if other the other (Muslim) kids do. Seriously. They’re doing “secret Eid” where the kids give each other gifts anonymously. Sound like...
Anonymous asked: I know this question may seem rude, vulgar, inapropiate, stupid ect.... But I promise It's a real question.... I know muslim men are supposed to shave their pubic hair.. Does that include the hair from the buttocks? And If so how does one do that safely without being able to see behind him?

Does it even fit in somewhere there, or is it somehow...

Some of us have grown up in a culture that tells us that dark skin is ugly, fair-skin is too pale, we’re too big, we’re too skinny, we’re not religious enough. The Muslim media has always shown fair skinned, skinny, hijabi women in their advertisements. There are Muslim women all over the world who do not identify with that image but instead we come in all shapes, all sizes,...

itshalalcuzisaidbismillah asked: Salaam :D 1) I like your blog. 2) I reblogged a post that had to do with a woman's role & a man's role in Islam. It was a question that someone sent you. I didn't realize that I was following you at that moment until something of yours popped up on my dashboard. I have to say, you are one educated, well informed young woman. You are a great person to look up to. :)
