What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Muslims"?
In my country Muslims are simple people who live simple life. They are minority in number so are prioritized on everything. Government jobs to Education. Sadly not every muslim is aware of that and cannot grab all the opportunities they are provided. They mostly live in the plain area of the country and are farmers. Youth these days go to foreign countries to work as labor. Very few of them live in the capital city.They are silent kind people, mind their own business, less likely to involved in any dispute by themselves (sometimes dragged by people with political interest). But they are nice people. Though some of them are very superstitious(lack of proper education), they are not threat to anyone in anyway.A muslim family I personally know sells bangles. The man has a wife and only one daughter as their child. He loves his wife and his daughter. He seems nice to everyone.For me muslim are nice people who are struggling with their life in their own ways, they live simple life and are good neighbors and friends.If anyone interpret muslim as terrorist, you should come to my country and live in a muslim village at least for a day. They are the nicest people you will ever met.
Why can't muslims mind their own business?
When I'm drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes etc they say its haram. When I'm wearing shorts in the summer they tell me to cover up. When I'm wearing make-up they say it is not allowed on the streets and they always always ALWAYS tell me to wear a headscarf. SERIOUSLY why can't they mind their own business????
What would you do if you found out your Muslim brother was gay? Keep in mind I’m asking from an Islamic point of view, so are there ways I could get him to steer far away from these desires?
No, there are no ways to do that. You can lock him up, torture him and beat him to make him repress who he is, but you cannot change who he loves. It is not a choice; if you truly believe in Allah, then you have to accept the fact that Allah made him this way. So you have to ask yourself: did Allah mean for your brother to be hated and persecuted, maybe even imprisoned or executed? Or did men misunderstand the will of Allah?The longbeards will tell you that your brother is wrong. But you have to ask yourself, not other humans: does Allah truly want you to hate your brother?
How to stop thinking about sex and porn (I'm Muslim)?
*first of all you must know that if there wasn't libido many families were not been formed.and many families were been broken. *This libido indicates that you are mature (baaliq) sexually ,not personally or not mentally or not socially. *The right way (and most natural way ) for sexual satisfaction is marriage.But you can't marry.(15 yo) *So quran says you must observe chastity (ifaf) until god enrich you from his grace. *Not be curious about sexual matters. *Do not advance what you do now.!! (don't test other ways for sex, nonce, until you can marry.) *Hold your relation with god and so on !! (SoBeIt gave good suggestions also)
Muslims...is this waswasa..?
How to differentiate "Wasawsa = Arabic وسوسة = Whispers of evil entities" and your own thinking? If you thought about something bad, a sin\ idea, something terrible, then you didn't go on in it, or refused it, and after a while you thought in new terrible sin\ idea, then this is Waswasa, as Satans see you didn't commit the first sin for some reason, so they try to inspire you with another trick. If the same idea kept on striking you, it's "Yourself"... Regarding your problem, mention God a lot "Mention Allah and He mentions you" He says in The Holy Hadith: "I'm present for my servants and I'm with whosoever mentions me". The Prophet Narrated that, when we get such thoughts we say: "I believed there is Only one God, and Muhammad is his Prophet آمنت بالله و رسوله " and read " AlKursi" Verse. To those who don't know it; Al Kursi (The Throne) Verse is no. 255 of Chapter 2 (AL Baqarah - The Cow).. It is narrated By our prophet that it expells demons and evil beings. Al Kursi verse: "Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that intercedeth with Him save by His leave? He knoweth that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous. " "الله لا اله الا هو الحي القيوم لا تاخذه سنة ولا نوم له ما في السماوات وما في الارض من ذا الذي يشفع عنده الا باذنه يعلم ما بين ايديهم وما خلفهم ولا يحيطون بشيء من علمه الا بما شاء وسع كرسيه السماوات والارض ولا يؤوده حفظهما وهو العلي العظيم "
Muslims, help! I have questions that I need answered!?
Alcohol is haram as u know it..........it leads to all evil acts where as maturbation..... WHILE IN ISLAM............... masturbation is haraam(SIN)! The Holy Prophet called the one who satisfies himself with his hand a mal'oon - accursed! My dear friend ..masturbation leads to zinah ( sex before marriage)..n u knw zinah in one of the best of all evilz .....and also it negetive effects are much more when compared to its positive effects which is abt few secoundz or ...here non-muslims 99% of them will say its k its gd fr health n stuff they do it fr pleasure even i fink their religion permits them to do so. Also because during masturbation you will fantasies a woman who is not your wife....n it will lead u to have sex with a women without marrying her...and further more the sperm ejaculates with force, Ghusl becomes obligatory in that case and if u die whitout doing ghusl u ll be impurified n will die unpurified same as a death of a non-believer..who never does gusl weather its materubation or sex .......You should control on your mastur-bation habbit. Instead of masturbation it is advise to get marriage as early as possible. and physically it effects ur eyes, ur health, brings weakness u feel weak ...and mst f its effects are seen wen u grow older....and dont feel while materubating that no one is watching Allah the almighty is laways watching you and ur acts will be shown on the day of judgement....if nt fr anything bt because of this fear u should stop it.......bst f luck God said in the holy qur'an: Those who guard their sexual organs except with their spouses or those whom their right hands possess, for (with regard to them) they are without blame. But those who crave something beyond that are transgressors.” (Al-Mu'mun: 5-7) and masturbation falls under the category of those who seek fulfillment of their sexual desires outside the framework of marriage. 5 time daily prayers are farz( compulsory for every muslim who is mature ) now a days i think frm 12 r 13 yrz f age u should start praying and when u grw abt 16 -17 onwards its compulsary no excuses.. And abt the tv show its better not to watch it................
