I was born and raised atheist
As an atheist i had an awful time. I was like chris in a lot of ways.
I was transgender, lazy, etc
I tried many psychiatrists, psychologists, medications, etc
They all did NOTHING
Waste of money
ONly thing that could make me hard-working and straight was Islam
I quit estrogen for good the same day I converted to Islam
I started going to the gym to become a cute boy
I started studying harder so I could get a good job so I could get a wife one day

Remember that we go to the gym not to please people or be attractive, but to please the creator who gave us that body, and then using that strength to do good (whether that be learning self defense, or helping out our parents, or volunteering)

Also i think you should go to gym to become visually pleasing because it can help you get a wife and it's important to get a wife ASAP so you can avoiding temptations like staring at girls in public(edited)
Now that we have seen how much importance Islam has accorded to marriage and marital life you would perhaps ask, “How do we select a spouse? What are the guidelines provided by Islam in this regard? Do we look for some particular characteristics or just try to get the best from the worldly point of view?” Are Pre-Marital Contacts Necessary? Ali ...
F. Physical and Mental Health
Though religiousness and piety are most important, it does not mean that we totally disregard the physical appearance and beauty of the prospective spouse.
The Holy Prophet (S) says, “When one intends to marry a woman, he should ask about her hair, just as he asks about her face (beauty), since the hair is one of the two beauties (of women).” 12
i believe it is reasonable to have some expectations of physical appearance, since we should put in the work to be visually pleasing beautiful humans
exercise, diet, washing face during wudu, brushing and flossing, cutting hair, 'etc(edited)
unlike incels, i don't demand others to be attracted to me when i'm a fat smelly neckbeard. I would like to be visually pleasing for a spouse, and also have reciprocal expectation that they are visually pleasing too(edited)

Islam (Arabic: اَلْإِسْلَامُ, romanized: al-Islam. "submission [to God]") is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion teaching that Muhammad is a messenger of God.
It is the world's second-largest religion with 1.9 billion followers, or 24.9% of the world's population, known as Muslims.
Muslims make up a majority of the population in 47 countries.
Islam teaches that God is merciful, all-powerful, and unique, and has guided humanity through prophets, revealed scriptures, and natural signs.
The primary scriptures of Islam are the Quran, believed to be the verbatim word of God, as well as the teachings and normative examples (called the sunnah, composed of accounts called hadith) of Muhammad (c. 570 - 632 CE).(edited)
Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets such as Adam, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus.
Muslims consider the Quran, in Arabic, to be the unaltered and final revelation of God.
Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam also teaches a final judgment with the righteous rewarded in paradise and the unrighteous punished in hell.(edited)
Religious concepts and practices include the Five Pillars of Islam, which are obligatory acts of worship, as well as following Islamic law (sharia), which touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, from banking and welfare to women and the environment.
The cities of Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem are home to the three holiest sites in Islam.
From a historical point of view, Islam originated in early 7th century CE in the Arabian Peninsula, in Mecca, and by the 8th century, the Umayyad Caliphate extended from Iberia in the west to the Indus River to the east.
The Islamic Golden Age refers to the period traditionally dated from the 8th century to the 13th century, during the Abbasid Caliphate, when much of the historically Muslim world was experiencing a scientific, economic, and cultural flourishing.
The expansion of the Muslim world involved various caliphates and states such as the Ottoman Empire, trade, and conversion to Islam by missionary activities (dawah).
Most Muslims are of one of two denominations: Sunni (85-90%) or Shia (10-15%).
Sunni and Shia differences arose from disagreement over the succession to Muhammad and acquired broader political significance, as well as theological and juridical dimensions.
About 12% of Muslims live in Indonesia, the most populous Muslim-majority country; 31% live in South Asia, the largest percentage of Muslims in the world; 20% live in the Middle East-North Africa, where it is the dominant religion; and 15% in sub-Saharan Africa.
Sizable Muslim communities can also be found in the Americas, China, and Europe.
Islam is the fastest-growing major religion in the world.
Etymology
The Kaaba in Mecca is the direction of prayer and destination of pilgrimage
In Arabic, Islam (Arabic:إسلام, "submission [to God]") is the verbal noun originating from the verb سلم (salama), from triliteral root س-ل-م (S-L-M), which forms a large class of words mostly relating to concepts of wholeness, submission, sincerity, safeness, and peace.
Islam is the verbal noun of Form IV of the root and means "submission" or "total surrender".
In a religious context, it means "total surrender to the will of God".
A Muslim (Arabic:مُسْلِم), the word for a follower of Islam, is the active participle of the same verb form, and means "submitter (to God)" or "one who surrenders (to God)".
The word "Islam" ("submission") sometimes has distinct connotations in its various occurrences in the Quran.
Some verses stress the quality of Islam as an internal spiritual state: "Whoever God wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam."
Other verses connect Islam and religion (din) together:
"Today, I have perfected your religion for you; I have completed My blessing upon you; I have approved Islam for your religion."
Others describe Islam as an action of returning to God - more than just a verbal affirmation of faith.
In the Hadith of Gabriel, Islam is presented as one part of a triad that also includes iman (faith), and ihsan (excellence).
The word "silm" (Arabic:سِلْم) in Arabic means both peace and also the religion of Islam.
A common linguistic phrase demonstrating its usage is "he entered into as-silm" (Arabic:دَخَلَ فِي السِّلْمِ) which means "he entered into Islam," with a connotation of finding peace by submitting one's will to the Will of GOd.
The word "Islam" can be used in a linguistic sense of submission or in a technical sense of the religion of Islam, which also is called as-silm which means peace.
Islam itself was historically called Mohammedanism in the English-speaking world.
This term has fallen out of use and is sometimes considered to be offensive, as it suggests that a human being, rather than God, is central to Muslims' religion, parallel to Buddha in Buddhism.
Some authors, however, continue to use the term Mohammedanism as a technical term for the religious system as opposed to the theological concept of Islam that exists within that system.
ARTICLES OF FAITH
Faith (iman, Arabic: إيمان) in the Islamic creed (adiqah) is often represented as the six articles of faith, notably mentioned in the Hadith of Gabriel. Belief in these articles is necessary and obligatory upon all Muslims.
Concept of God(edited)
The central concept of Islam is tawhid (Arabic:توحيد), the unity of God.
Usually thought of as a precise monotheism, but also panentheistic in Islamic mystical teachings.
God is described in Chapter 112 of the Quran: Say, "He is God - One and Indivisible; God - the Sustainer 'needed by all'. He has never had offspring, nor was He born. And there is none comparable to Him."
No human eyes can see God till the Day Of Judgement.
According to Islam, God is transcendent, therefore Muslims do not attribute human forms to God.
God is described and referred to by several names or attributes, the most common being Ar-Rahman(الرحمان) meaning, "The Entirely Merciful," and Ar-Rahim( الرحيم) meaning "The Especially Merciful" which are mentioned before reciting every chapter of the Quran except chapter nine.

Islam teaches that the creation of everything in the universe was brought into being by God's command as expressed by the wording, "Be, and it is," and that the purpose of existence is to worship God without associating partners to Him.

Islam teaches that the creation of everything in the universe was brought into being by God's command as expressed by the wording, "Be, and it is," and that the purpose of existence is to worship God without associating partners to Him.

God is not a part of the Christian Trinity.
He is viewed as a personal god who responds whenever a person in need or distress calls him.
There are no intermediaries, such such as clergy, to contact God, who states: "Your Lord has proclaimed, Call upon Me, I will respond to you."
Consciousness and awareness of God is referred to as Taqwa.(edited)
Allah is traditionally seen as the personal name of God, a term with no plural or gender being ascribed to it.(edited)
It is used by Muslims and Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews in reference to God, whereas 'ilah (Arabic: إله) is a term used for a deity or a god in general.

Muhammad reeeiving his first revelation from the angel Gabriel. From the manuscript Jami' al-Tawarikh by Rashid-al-Din Hamadani, 1307.
Belief in angels is fundamental to Islam.
The Quranic word for angel (Arabic:ملك malak) derives either from Malaka, meaning "he controlled", due to their power to govern different affairs assigned to them, or from the triliteral root '-l-k, l-'-k or m-l-k with the board meaning of a "messenger", just as its counterpart in Hebrew (mal'akh).(edited)
Unlike the Hebrew word, however, the term is used exclusively for heavenly spirits of the divine world, as opposed to human messengers.
The Quran refers to both angelic and human messengers as rasul instead.

The Quran is the principal source for the Islamic concept of angels.
Some of them, such as Gabriel and Michael, are mentioned by name in the Quran, others are only referred to by their function.
In hadith literature, angels are often assigned to only one specific phenomenon.
Angels play a significant role in literature about the Mi'raj, where Muhammad encounters several angels during his journey through the heavens.
Further angels have often been featured in Islamic eschatology, theology and philosophy.
Duties assigned to angels include, for example, communicating revelations from God, glorifying God, recording every person's actions and taking a person's soul at the time of death.
In Islam, just as in Judaism and Christianity, angels are often represented in anthropomorphic forms combined with supernatural images, such as wings, being of great size or wearing heavenly articles.
The Quran describes "Angels as His messengers with wings - two, three, or four."
Common characteristics for angels are their missing needs for bodily desires, such as eating and drinking.
Their lack of affinity to material desires is also expressed by their creation from light: angels of mercy are created from nur ('light') in opposition to the angels of punishment created from nar ('fire').
Muslims do not generally share the perceptions of angelic pictorial depictions, such as those found in Western art.

God is described and referred to by several names or attributes, the most common being Ar-Rahman(الرحمان) meaning, "The Entirely Merciful," and Ar-Rahim( الرحيم) meaning "The Especially Merciful" which are mentioned before reciting every chapter of the Quran except chapter nine.

Rahma is the love a mother has for a child in her womb. Ar-Rahman is the one with the most of this kind of love. The fetus is completely unaware of the mother, and is entirely ungrateful, even kicking her from the inside. Regardless, the mother feeds the child and surrounds the child from every side and is the sole source of sustenance and life for the child. She loves it without gaining anything in return

Revelations
The first chapter of the Quran, Al-Fatiha (The Opening), is seven verses
The Islamic holy books are the records that most Muslims believe were dictated by God to various prophets.
Muslims believe that parts of the previously revealed scriptures, the Tawrat (Torah) and the Injil (Gospel), had become distorted - either in interpretation, in text, or both.
The Quran (lit. "Recitation") is viewed by Muslims as the final revelation and literal word of God and is widely regarded as the finest literary work in the classical Arabic language.
Muslims believe that the verses of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad by God through the archangel Gabriel (Jibril) on many occasions between 610 CE until his death in 632.
While Muhammad was alive, these revelations were written down by his companions (sahabah), although the prime method of transmission was orally through memorization.
The Quran is divided into 114 chapters (suras) which combined contain 6,236 verses (ayat).
The chronologically earlier suras, revealed at Mecca, are concerned primarily with ethical and spiritual topics.
The later Medinan suras mostly discuss social and legal issues relevant to the Muslim community.
The Quran is more concerned with moral guidance than legislation, and is considered the "sourcebook of Islamic principles and values".
Muslim jurists consult the hadith ('accounts'), or the written record of Prophet Muhammad's life, to both supplement the Quran and assist with its interpretatoin.
The science of Quranic commentary and exegesis is known as tafsir.
The set of rules governing proper elocution of recitation is called tajwid.
Muslims usually view "the Quran" as the original scripture as revealed in Arabic and that any translations are necessarily deficient, which are regarded only as commentaries on the Quran.
Prophets and sunnah
According to the Quran, God instructed the prophets (Arabic: أنبياء, anbiya) to bring the "will of God" to the peoples of the nations.
Muslims believe prophets are human and not divine, though some can perform miracles to prove their claim.
Islamic theology says that all of God's messengers preached the message of Islam - submission to the will of GOd.
The Quran mentions the names of numerous figures considered prophets in Islam, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, among others.
Muslims believe that God finally sent Muhammad as the last law-bearing prophet ("Seal of the prophets") to convey the divine message to the entire world (to sum up and finalize the word of God).
In Islam, the "normative" example of Muhammad's life is called the sunnah (literally "trodden path").
Muslims are encouraged to emulate Muhammad's actions in their daily lives, and the sunnah is seen as crucial to guiding interpretation of the Quran.
This example is preserved in traditions known as hadith, which recount his words, his actions, and his personal characteristics.
Hadith Qudsi is a sub-category of hadith, regarded as God's verbatim words quoted by Muhammad that are not part of the Quran.
Coupon1218-Aug-21 07:34 AM
A hadith involves two elements: a chain of narrators, called sanad, and the actual wording, called matn.
Hadiths can be classified, by studying the narration as: "authentic" or "correct" (صَحِيْح. sahih); "good", hasan (حَسَن, ḥasan); or "weak" (ضَعِيْف, daif), among others.
The Kutub al-Sittah are a collection of six books, regarded as the most authentic reports in Sunnism.
Among them is Sahih al-Bukhari, often considered by Sunnis to be one of the most authentic sources after the Quran.
Another famous source of hadiths is known as The Four Books, which Shias consider as the most authentic hadith reference.

Because the Quran only briefly covered the lives of biblical prophets, scholars, poets, historians, and storytellers elaborate their stories in Tales of the Prophets.
Many of these scholars were also authors of commentaries on the Quran; however, unlike Quran commentaries which follow the order and structure of the Quran itself, the Tales of the Prophets told its stores of the prophets in chronological order - which makes them similar to the Jewish and Christian versions of the Bible.
Besides prophets, saints possess blessings (Arabic:بركة , "bakara") and can perform miracles (Arabic:امات, Karamat).
Saints rank lower than prophets and they do not intercede for people on the Day of Judgment.
However, both the tombs of prophets and saints are visited frequently (Ziyarat).
People would seek the advice of a saint in their quest for spiritual fulfillment.
Unlike saints in Christianity, Muslim saints are usually acknowledged informal by consensus of common people, not by scholars.
Unlike prophets, women like Rabia of Basrawere accepted as saints.
Resurrection and judgment
Belief in the "Day of Resurrection" or Yawm al-Qiyamah (Arabic|يوم القيامة), is also crucial for Muslims.
Nooraana18-Aug-21 07:48 AM
So about the saints, this falls into the early stages of Sufism which are mostly condemned now. They might have been amazing people both in religiosity and community service, but after their death a lot of myths arose about their lives and that very typical human trend of “ancestor worship” arose
Coupon1218-Aug-21 07:49 AM
It is believed that the time of Qiyamah is preordained by God but unknown to man.
The Quran and the hadith, as well as in the commentaries of scholars describe the trials and tribulations preceding and during the Qiyamah.
The Quran emphasizes bodily resurrection, a break from the pre-Islamic Arabian understanding of death.
On Yawm al-Qiyamah (Arabic: يوم القيامة), Muslims believe all humankind will be judged by their good and bad deeds and consigned to Jannah (paradise) or Jahannam (hell).
The Quran in Surat al-Zalzalah describes this as: "So whoever does an atom's weight of good will see it. And whoever does an atom's weight of evil will see it."
The Quran lists several sins that can condemn a person to hell, such as disbelief in God (كفر, kufr), and dishonesty.
However, the Quran makes it clear that God will forgive the sins of those who repent if he wishes.
Good deeds, like charity, prayer and compassion towards animals, will be rewarded with entry to heaven.
Muslims view heaven as a place of joy and blessings, with Quranic references describing its features.
Mystical traditions in Islam place these heavenly delights in the context of an ecstatic awareness of God.
Yawm al-Qiyamah is also identified in the Quran as Yawm ad-Din (Arabic:يوم الدين, "Day of Religion"); as-Sa'ah (Arabic:الساعة "the Last Hour"); and al-Qari'ah (Arabic:القارعة "The Clatterer")
Divine Destiny
The concept of divine decree and destiny in Islam (Arabic: القضاء والقدر, al-qada' wa l-qadar) means that every matter, good or bad, is believed to have been decreed by God and is in line with destiny.
Al-Qadar meaning "power" derives from a root that means "to measure" or "calculating'.
The Quran emphasizes that nothing occurs outside of His divine decree: "Say, 'Nothing will ever befall us except was God has destined for us'."
Muslims often express this belief in divine destiny with the phrase "Insha-Allah" meaning "if God wills" when speaking on future events.

The Ottomans just, took the symbol when they took the city, and then spread it everywhere
Reborn19-Aug-21 01:17 AM
"While the crescent on its own is depicted as an emblem used on Islamic war flags from the medieval period, at least from the 13th century although it does not seem to have been in frequent use until the 14th or 15th century,"
"The adoption of star and crescent as the Ottoman state symbol started during the reign of Mustafa III (1757–1774) and its use became well-established during the periods of Abdul Hamid I (1774–1789) and Selim III (1789–1807).[46] A buyruldu from 1793 states that the ships in the Ottoman navy have that flag, and various other documents from earlier and later years mention its use.[46] The ultimate source of the emblem is unclear. It is mostly derived from the star-and-crescent symbol used by the city of Constantinople in antiquity, possibly by association with the crescent design (without the star) used in Turkish flags since before 1453.[47]"

we got 13 century by the islam forces and 18th by the turks

The author names himself as "John" in the text, but his precise identity remains a point of academic debate. Second-century Christian writers such as Papias, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Melito (the bishop of Sardis), Clement of Alexandria, and the author of the Muratorian fragment identify John the Apostle as the "John" of Revelation.[1] [2] Modern scholarship generally takes a different view,[3] with many considering that nothing can be known about the author except that he was a Christian prophet.[4] Modern theological scholars characterize The Book of Revelation's author as "John of Patmos". The bulk of traditional sources date the book to the reign of the Roman emperor Domitian (AD 81–96), which evidence tends to confirm.[5][b]
Nooraana19-Aug-21 01:39 AM

According to one source, sira (prophetic biography) of Muhammad list the following as scribes of the Quran: Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq, ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab, ‘Uthmaan ibn ‘Affaan, ‘Ali ibn Abi Taalib, al-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwaam, ‘Aamir ibn Fuhayrah, ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas, Ubayy ibn Ka’b, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn al-Arqam, Thaabit ibn Qays ibn Shammaas, Hanzalah ibn al-Rabee’ al-Usaydi, al-Mugheerah ibn Shu’bah, ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Rawaahah, Khaalid ibn al-Waleed, Khaalid ibn Sa’eed ibn al-‘Aas (whom it was said was the first one to write down anything for him), Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan and Zayd ibn Thaabit.[17]
Sunni and Shia Muslim scholars generally believe that the Quran was written down in its entirety at the time of Muhammad's death.[citation needed] Muhammad's cousin, Ibn Abbas, describes the way in which the final version of the Quran was fixed: "the prophet recited the book before Gabriel every year in the month of Ramadan, and in the month in which he died he recited it before him twice."[18] It is believed that the term "reciting the Quran twice" means compiling all the Quranic revelations into a complete and final version. It is understood[citation needed] that toward the end of Muhammad's life a special act of revelation occurred in which a final and complete version of the Quran was created.

The Caliphate had grown considerably, expanding into Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Iran, bringing into Islam's fold many new converts from various cultures with varying degrees of isolation.[52] These converts spoke a variety of languages but were not well learned in Arabic, and so Uthman felt it was important to standardize the written text of the Quran into one specific Arabic dialect. Another reason for compiling the Quran was that many Muslims who had memorized the Quran in its entirety (huffaz) were dying, especially in battle.[53]
According to the dominant version narrated by Bukhari, the reason for the final collection of the Quran was a dispute between Muslim forces from Iraq and Syria over the correct way of reciting it during communal prayers while on an expedition to Armenia and Azerbaijan.[citation needed]

It was then passed down generation to generation and as the language evolved they needed to add markers so they can remember how to pronounce it or teach others how to pronounce it

how, but more importantly, why?
Nooraana19-Aug-21 02:08 AM
This has been a trend since the conception of Islam
How? With an instructor who corrects them when they make mistakes in their recitation. Why? To become a vessel of God’s word and to become the means by which His word is never changed
As soon as the person leading the prayer gets even a single vowel wrong, a half dozen people in the row behind him will correct him
During Ramaḍān we aim to read the entire Quran over 30 nights. Behind the person leading at my mosque there are 4 individuals who are also Hafiz to make sure he doesn’t slip up
That’s why the kids taking the class with me were able to read a 1400+ year old manuscript from the lifetime of the prophet PBUH in unison, with exactly the same pronunciation on every vowel in the absence of markers of any kind (besides some of the consonant markers)(edited)

ACTS OF WORSHIP
There are five core practices in Islam, collectively known as "The Pillars of Islam" (Arkan al-Islam) or "Pillars of the Religion" (Arkan ad-din), which are considered obligatory for all believers.
The Quran presents them as a framework for worship and a sign of commitment to the faith: Three of the pillars are obligatory for all Muslims, while Zakat and Hajj are obligatory only for able Muslims.
Both Sunni and Shi'a sects agree on the essential details for performing these acts.
Apart from these, Muslims also perform other religious acts.
Notable among them are voluntary charity (Sadaqah) and recitation of the Quran.
Testimony
Silver coin of the Mughal Emperor Akbar, inscribed with the Shahadah
The shahadah, which is the basic creed of Islam, must be recited under oath with the specific statement: "ashhadu 'al-la 'ilaha 'illa-llahu wa 'ashhadu 'anna muhammadan rasulu-llah" (أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وأشهد أن محمداً رسول الله), or, "I testify that none deserves worship except God and I testify that Muhammad is the messenger of God."
This testament is a foundation for all other beliefs and practices in Islam. Non-Muslims wishing to convert to Islam are required to recite the creed.
Prayer
Muslim men prostrating in prayer, at the Umayyad Mosque, Damascus.
The five daily ritual prayers are called salah or salat (Arabic: صلاة|صلاة).
Salat is intended to focus the mind on God and is seen as a personal communication with him expressing gratitude and worship.
Salat consists of bowing and prostrating to God and praising God.
Performing prayers five times a day is compulsory, but flexibility in the timing specifics is allowed depending on circumstances.
The prayers are recited in the Arabic language and consist of verses from the Quran.
The prayers are done in the direction of the Ka'bah.
The act of supplicating is referred to as dua.
Ritual purity is required for salat, this is achieved through wudu (ritual purification) or ghusl (full body ritual purification).
A mosque is a place of worship for Muslims, who often refer to it by its Arabic name masjid.
A large mosque for gathering for Friday prayers or Eid prayers is called masjid jami (مَسْجِد جَامِع, "congregational mosque").
Although the primary purpose of the masjid is to serve as a place of prayer, it is also important to the Muslim community as a place to meet and study.
The Masjid an-Nabawi ("Prophetic Mosque") in Medina, Saudi Arabia, was also a place of refuge for the poor.
Modern mosques have evolved greatly from the early designs of the 7th century and contain a variety of architectural elements such as minarets.
The means used to signal the prayer time is a vocal call called the adhan.
Charity
Zakat (Arabic: زكاة, zakah, 'alms') is a means of welfare in a Muslim society, characterized by the giving of a fixed portion (2.5% annually) of accumulated wealth by those who can afford it to help the poor and needy, such as for freeing captives, those in debt, or for (stranded) travellers, and for those employed to collect zakat.
It is considered a religious obligation (as opposed to supererogatory charity, known as Sadaqah) that the well-off owe to the needy because their wealth is seen is a "trust from God's bounty".
Conservative estimates of annual zakat are that it amounts to 15 times global humanitarian aid contributions.
The first Caliph, Abu Bakr, distributed zakat as one of the first examples of a guaranteed minimum income, with each man, woman and child getting 10 to 20 dirhams anually.
Sadaqah means optional charity practiced as a religious duty and out of generosity.
Both the Quran and the hadith put much emphasis on spending money for the welfare of needy people, and have urged Muslims to give more as an act of optional charity.
The Quran says; "Those who spend their wealth in charity day and night, secretly and openly - their reward is with their Lord."
One of the early teachings of Muhammad was that God expects men to be generous with their wealth and not to be miserly.
Accumulating wealth without spending it to address the needs of the poor is generally prohibited and admonished.
Another kind of charity in Islam is waqf, meaning a perpetual religious endowment of property.
Fasting
A fast-breaking feast, known as Iftar, is served traditionally with dates
Fasting (Arabic: صوم, sawm) from food and drink, among other things, must be performed from dawn to after sunset during the month of Ramadan.(edited)
The fast is to encourage a feeling of nearness to God, and during it, Muslims should express their gratitude for and dependence on him, atone for their past sins, develop self-control and restraint, and think of the needy.
Sawm is not obligatory for several groups for whom it would constitute an undue burden.
For others, flexibility is allowed depending on circumstances, but missed fasts must be compensated for later.
Pilgrimage
Pilgrims at the Great Mosque of Mecca during the Hajj season
The obligatory Islamic pilgrimage, called the "hajj" (Arabic: حج), has to be performed during the first weeks of the twelfth Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah in the city of Mecca.
Every physically and financially able Muslim must make the pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lifetime.
All Muslim men should wear simple white clothing (ihram) during Hajj and Umrah.
Rituals of the Hajj include: spending a day and a night in the tents on the desert plain of Mina, then a day in the desert plain of Mount Arafat praying and worshiping God, following the footsteps of Abraham; then spending a night out in the open, sleeping on the desert sand in the desert plain of Muzdalifah; then moving to Jamarat, symbolically stoning the Devil recounting Abraham's actions; then going around Mecca and walking seven times around the Kaaba which Muslims believe Abraham built as a place of worship; then walking seven times between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah recounting the steps of Abraham's wife, Hagar, while she was looking for water for her son Ishmael in the desert before Mecca developed into a settlement.
Another form of pilgrimage, umrah, is supererogatory (not morally required) and can be undertaken at any time of the year.
The Quran refers to Islamic Pilgrimage in various places, often describing the rites and rulings which apply when undertaking Hajj.
Quranic recitation and memorization
Muslim men reading the Quran
Muslims recite and memorize the whole or parts of the Quran as acts of virtue.
Reciting the Quran with elocution (tajwid) has been described as an excellent act of worship.
Pious Muslims recite the whole Quran during the month of Ramadan.
In Muslim societies, any social program generally begins with the recitation of the Quran.
One who has memorized the whole Quran is called a hafiz ("memorizer") who, it is said, will be able to intercede for ten people on the Last Judgment Day.
Apart from this, almost every Muslim memorizes some portion of the Quran because they need to recite it during their prayers.
Sincerity is the Quran's 112th chapter as recited by Imam Mishary Rashid Alafasy

LAW
Sharia is the religious law forming part of the Islamic tradition.
It is derived from the religious precepts of Islam, particularly the Quran and the Hadith.
In Arabic, the term shariah refers to God's divine law and is contrasted with fiqh, which refers to its scholarly interpretations.
The manner of its application in modern times had been a subject of dispute between Muslim traditionalists and reformists.
Traditional theory of Islamic jurisprudence recognizes four sources of Sharia: the Quran, sunnah (Hadith and Sira), qiyas (analogical reasoning), and ijma (juridical consensus).
Different legal schools developed methodologies for deriving Sharia rulings from scriptural sources using a process known as ijtihad.
Traditional jurisprudence distinguishes two principal branches of law, ibadat (rituals) and mu'amalat (social relations), which together comprise a wide range of topics.
Its rulings assign actions to one of five categories: mandatory (fard), recommended (mustahabb), permitted (mubah), abhorred (makrub), and prohibited (haram).
Some areas of Sharia overlap with the western notion of law while others correspond more broadly to living life in accordance with God's will.
Historically, Sharia was interpreted by independent jurists (muftis).
Their legal opinions (fatwa) were taken into account by ruler-appointed judges who presided over qadi's courts, and by mazalim courts, which were controlled by the ruler's council and administered criminal law.
In the modern era, sharia-based criminal laws were widely replaced by statutes inspired by European models.
The Ottoman Empire's 19th-century Tanzimat reforms led to the Mecelle Civil code and represented the first attempt to codify Sharia.
While the constitutions of most Muslim-majority states contain references to Sharia, its classical rules were largely retained only in personal status (family) laws.
Legislative bodies who codified these laws sought to modernize them without abandoning their foundations in traditional jurisprudence.
The Islamic revival of the late 20th century brought along calls by Islamist movements for complete implementation of sharia.
The role of Sharia has become a contested topic around the world.
There are ongoing debates whether Sharia is compatible with secular forms of government, human rights, freedom of thought, and women's rights.

Well yeah, that's how it is for all religions besides Islam
Serious question, how is a good Muslim supposed to view Jews? Are we supposed to dislike them or accept them?
It seems like these days the world views Muslims and Jews as enemies
Are most jews good or bad people?
I don't really know any in real life
Nooraana21-Aug-21 02:17 AM
The Messenger PBUH always treated them with respect. The most supreme example of this is that Muslims are allowed to marry Christians and Jews and other Muslims but no one else. Allah SWT has allowed us to spend our lives with someone of a different faith, which shows how compatible many of our morals are
There are many jews who very vocally defend the palestinian cause, the racist ones are just louder :/(edited)

Surah Al-Baqara (The Cow)
2:136
So [you believers], say, ‘We believe in God and in what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and what was given to Moses, Jesus, and all the prophets by their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we devote ourselves to Him.’
Can't be like, ugh my life is so hard so I go to the mosque 5 times a day, then when your problems go away, start getting lax in worship "eh everything is okay now, why bother"
Or else you start to backslide

Surah Hud (Hud)
11:9
If We give people a taste of Our mercy then take it away from them, they become utterly desperate, ungrateful.
11:10
But if We give them a taste of prosperity after being touched with adversity, they say, “My ills are gone,” and become totally prideful and boastful,
11:11
except those who patiently endure and do good. It is they who will have forgiveness and a mighty reward.

So basically there are a couple things
1. Music artificially invokes emotions in people, as a result when the emotions are invoked naturally they aren’t as powerful or valuable as they would be otherwise
2. We have much better alternatives. When we could listen to God’s word instead, what good is music?
However, there is an issue with the second point. We don’t understand Classical Arabic so all we hear when we listen to Quran is Arabic with a word here or there. 1400 years ago, those people cried every time they heard recitation because they knew exactly what it means and how beautiful it is. We don’t have that blessing until we study Arabic extensively for a couple years or memorize translations of a couple chapters
Also a disclaimer, there is indeed a difference of opinion regarding permissibility. The MOST relaxed opinion is that music is allowed as long as the contents aren’t immoral. For example, they’re not about women or drugs or killing, or complaining, or anger, etc.
The permissible music is then just Islamic songs or nursery rhymes or classical music for example
NOTE: the music may still be disliked, and it definitely isn’t a good deed to listen to it, but it isn’t a sin either, just better to avoid if possible
@Coupon12(edited)
music is a huge part of my life, people listening to trash in the background while they get drunk isnt an argument against other more refined forms of music(edited)
hell, even more unrefined forms of music

Believing in evolution means you aren't dealinf with it as a scientific subject
You don't "believe" in a theory
You accept evolution as a fact?
So not only are you eating away at the term "theory" and how the entire thing is based off of one sad man whose daughter died
But you have also not read anything about it to say why you "believe" in it
Is it true that there are "no weaknesses" in evolutionary theory? All one must do is examine the technical scientific literature and inquire whether there are legitimate scientific challenges to…

That is the strongest instance of psychological projection
Theory means a scientific proposition that is based off of tangible evidence that cannot be dealt with as a scientific fact, that merely serves the purpose of explaining something
Theories are something solid, rugged, like continental drift
The evidence are too strong to be weakened BUT it is not a fact because the event was not OBSERVED
Not only was evolution NEVER observed
But its "evidence" are nothing more than quackery
No one seriously educated thinks of evolution as anything other than a gargantuan joke
Go read a book, please. You do not know how great the Quran is and you do not come close to the classification of someone capable of criticizing it

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed: Verily Allah forgave my people the evil promptings which arise within their hearts as long as they did not speak about them or did not act upon them.
Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (xSAW ) said: "There shall come upon the people a time in which the one who is patient upon his religion will be like the one holding onto a burning ember."
Prophet ﷺ said:
Three things can save a person:
١. Fear of Allāh in private and in public.
٢. Fairness in happiness and in anger.
٣. Generosity in both poverty and in wealth.
And three things can destroy a person:
١. Desires that are followed.
٢. Greed that is obeyed.
٣. A person being amazed and pleased with themselves.

I’m honestly kinda upset today
Always being disillusioned with the state of Muslims
All the Muslims I know in university are very heavily concentrated at opposite ends of the spectrum
Either they pray regularly, don’t date, don’t smoke, dress modestly, etc
Or they’re even worse than all my non Muslim friends
When they date they suck at commitment and taking care of their gf’s or bf’s emotional needs
For the sisters, for some reason they come to class looking like they need to go clubbing immediately afterwards
The guys smoke a hookah really often
Like, maybe it’s bc they know what they’re doing is wrong so they just do as much wrong as they can to distract themselves?
Meanwhile the atheists and Christians I’m friends with are just trying to live their lives by their families’ moral compass
Also there are some people who are in the middle, guys and girls, just relatively less as compared to other groups. They pray sometimes, maybe have a fling that ends poorly, still have “salaam!” as their default greeting for other Muslims, etc(edited)

Jasher is a prophet, whose book was lost, and was referenced by Joshua 10:13
The book of Jasher is proof of the authenticity of the prophet Muhammad, not because of its content no just wait
Because SOMEONE in Norway or Sweden I don't remember, wrote a pseudograph that called it the book of Jasher (he wrote a book of the Bible, easily and successfully)

So did the rabbis and the scholars in accordance with that part of God’s Scripture which they were entrusted to preserve, and to which they were witnesses. So [rabbis and scholars] do not fear people, fear Me; do not barter away My messages for a small price; those who do not judge according to what God has sent down are rejecting [God’s teachings].

(he is talking about Genesis 17:20 just that he had a different manuscript to reference)"

"The reason they hid that behind the gematria value, was because the clear statement would have made this important revelation a goal for corruption by the Jews, to be taken out or swapped or erased entirely like they have done in other revelations!"
"And if the Jews were to try and respond by saying "But in the torah there are words that mean 'Zaid' and 'Amr' and 'Khaled' and they do not necessarily mean those names because they aren't prophets hence the verse above doesn't mention the prophet, we simply respond that there was no other tribe promised a great special blessing like Ishmael was promised, the tribes of Zaid Amr and Khaled are simply not promised anything!"
"We must also point out, that the word "bimadmad" (very very much in English) is an exaggeration by God almighty, thus it has no equal in the rest of the torah. And if this verse, the verse with a great oath towards Ishmael and his sons, and this word was more exaggerated and glorified than anything else, there is no question behind the wonder that this refers to the greatest of Ishmael's sons, peace and blessings be upon him and his fellows. Now that we have demonstrated that there is no words equal to this word, the Jews' false rebuttals cannot stand before us."

Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "If somebody commits a sin and then says, 'O my Lord! I have sinned, please forgive me!' and his Lord says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sins).' Then he remains without committing any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without Committing any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and says, 'O my Lord, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and Allah says, 'My slave has known that he has a Lord Who forgives sins and punishes for it I therefore have forgiven My slave (his sin), he can do whatever he likes."

Although I told him over and over, that whoever repents deserves forgiveness and should be hopeful and faithful

CamelMan09-Oct-21 08:12 PM
oh, then they are sinning by thinking that.
Because he is rejecting Allah S.W.T being one of the most merciful
So that just proves how merciful God is

Anas ibn Malik reported: "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to me: 'O boy, if you are able to remove every morning and evening any rancor from your heart toward anyone, then do so.' Then the Prophet said to me: 'O boy, that is my tradition and whoever revives my tradition, has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise'." (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, 2678)
