Ok...im not gonna sit and preach but the way some muslims sit and handle questions is just ridiculous. I said "SOME" Muslims....so dont in my face saying "oh sister, its not all of us"
No. I seen a question about what a person thinks of a woman wearing niqab and walking behind her husband...the responses made me really mad. I hear people saying..."at least theyre not like paris hilton and those other sluts and what not" I DONT CARE WHO U ARE...DONT U DARE EVER CALL A WOMAN A SLUT!! that is a sick word used to degrade women!
do u think Our Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) responded back to questions like these by mocking other people's religion in return and calling their women slutts?...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! our Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) was the best man ever!! he was no extremist .
If someone asks these questions u dont answer them back in insult or stereotypes..dont stoop that low!!
Now...i have said some things out of anger...so im not preaching....but now i know how ugly it is!
The image of the typical Muslim woman wearing the veil and forced to stay home and forbidden to drive is all too common in most peoples thoughts. Although some Muslim countries may have laws that oppress women, this should not be seen as coming from Islam. Many of these countries do not rule by any kind of Shari'ah (Islamic law) and introduce their own cultural standpoints on the issue of gender equity.
Thats how a response should be!
then that makes the person who posted the obnoxious question feel stumped!
BUT...saying things and evil insults like "ur women are this and that..THAT IS NO WAY TO GO!!
do u want someone insulting ur mother..sister..aunt..grandma? no
sooo dont u think that people should think before answering?
Yes..thank you !!!
think of it this way...if ur from another religion...and u ask these obnoxious questions...there is some curiosity behind it. they want to know more..but they dont want to show theyre interested..u know?
soo imagine a curious person asking about something and u slamming them with "UR WOMEN AND UR PEOPLE....."
its not right. people will cling to their stereotypes even more..because now they think muslims are indeed hostile and they will share this with friends.
Soo please....dont respond to ignorance with ignorance!!
am i right ya'll
Im not saying dont be upset and respond....but im saying that please..Im asking this as a fellow muslimah....
people that read these answers...theyre not all muslims...curious non-muslims also read
would u want a non muslim to think "YUP, i was right..they are hostile and narrow minded people"
No....let's be the better people and respond with knowledge and respect not cuss or be mean bacl..ignorance cant fight ignorance....truth and knowledge does...thats for real!
Im not preaching at all..Im reminding myself before anyone else!! trust me

You know what? Jezak Allah Khayr for this question- I could not agree with you more!! I'm making the transition to wearing niqab (because "I" feel ready to) Insha'Allah, and I certainly wouldn't like to hear any insulting remarks about sisters who don't wear niqab.
On this forum, a Muslim might definitely start with good intentions when posting, however sometimes you find yourself really wanting to 'give it to someone' who posts something insulting about Islam and our beloved Prophet(pbuh). But this is where 'good character' really needs to apply. Our Rasullallah(saws) was taunted, demeaned, tortured, physically abused even spat on and still he was a man of perfect character- and still he cried when non-believers died. This is the character that we need to emulate and model in our current struggle, IMO.
Also remember, that even on the web- if we claim to be Muslims we are Da'ees, this is definitely an outlet for Dawah, so think before you Muslims insult anyone here- ppl are getting an impression from every little thing.
peace.

I agree with you to, but I also understand the frustration of the people who answered like you said.
This person comes here every now and then with a new nick last time it was freedom girl now it is sara and insults Islam.
I do not reply to her questions and I do not read her questions Either because if I do I will insult her so I'm avoiding that. She is not worth the time that some ppl give her. Her questions should be left un answered.
Good day sis
salaam

I asked/sent a question to Shaykh 'Ubayd bin 'Abdullaah al-Jaabiree to advise the Muslims who insult and curse the Kuffaar in response to the cursing of the Kuffaar upon Islaam...
The Shaykh responded saying:
فان الباطل لا يدفع بالباطل واعلم ان ما اصاب الاسلام واهله من اذى بعض الكفار هو نتيجة التصرفات الغوغائية التي يرتكبها بعض الحمقى من المسلمين الذين لا يظبطهم كتاب ولا سنة
((For Indeed Falsehood is not handled with Falsehood, and know that what happened with Islaam and its people from the harm of some of the Kuffaar is a result of the behaviour and actions commited by some of the foolish ones from the Muslims who do not act by the Book and the Sunnah.))

This post is freaking hilarious. I agree with you. I hate when people obsess over celebrities like oh I "just love" so and so, when in reality it's striclty based on looks and you know nothing about the freaking person. Don't get me wrong, there are celebrities I think are "hot" but it doesn't mean I'd date them. I'm happily married anyway, but even still - just cause someone is good looking doesn't mean they are worthy :)

In fact, HIJAB is a sign of dignity and respect for women. It signifies that the worth and value of a woman is not in her looks or her physical form. It protects Muslim women from being molested or exploited by men. It safeguards the woman from being reduced to mere "sex objects" or business commodities. Islam prohibits women from all acts of lewdness including public display of their beauty in any form or manner.
Islam similarly requires men to practice modesty in their behavior, to cover their private parts, and not to look at women with lust.
In conclusion, Islam upholds the moral and ethical teachings of Holy Prophet Abraham and all the other prophets of God including all the highest teachings, the teachings of the Holy Qur'an as practiced by the seal of all Prophets, Mohammad (SAWA). These require a higher code of moral and ethical conduct. If a few Muslims fall short, they are to be blame.

I agree with you sister. There is no reason to EVER use vulgarity in response to anyone. The Master Prophet (sa) said, "A Muslim is one by who's hands, and by who's tongue, all people are safe."

Salaam alaikum,your right in a lot of what you said.I think it is a lack of Islamic knowledge that makes people answer the way they do,and get heated when people try to wind us up.
"And verily you have in the messenger of Allah the best of examples."

Agreed
U know, one of the most beutiful things about islam. is it has a ruling on almost EVERYTHING
Narrated Malik:
Similarly as above (156) adding, "Who believes in Allah and the Last Day should talk what is good or keep quiet." (i.e. abstain from dirty and evil talk, and should think before uttering).
