Dressing up for the mosque.

But you don't need to go back to that brother and talk with him about Superman logo. And, next time when you pray in that masjid again, it's better if you do not wear shirt with Superman logo. It for prevent a clash between you and that brother.

Make every attempt to understand the reasoning of why someone takes a position. It is difficult to understand a position when you are unaware.

The Prophet said, "Angels do not enter a house witch has either a dog or a picture in it." Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 539:

As brother Wa7abiScientist stated above there is a difference between a photo and logo on a shirt.

But I agree, wearing a superman tshirt acknowledges that you like a character which has "divine" super powers and this liking does not befit a believer. Comics and fiction has no place in real life. Real life is not supposed to be fantasy for a believer. Its as real as it gets. I think, therefore I am.

To the OP: sorry to say but its "high time" that we, youth, in the West stop acting like innocents who are suffering the worst. We live in houses, at least apartments which have proper heating systems. At least have one TV set at home? Have video games to play with? Yet we still claim that we are having too much? Talk to the youth from the Muslim world, which eats after 6 months what we eat on weekends yet their tawakkul and taqwa in Allah is higher than us.

i think that the brother felt that he needed to tell you and correct you.

i sometimes feel the need to do that for example if a sister has a little bit of hair coming out of her hijab so i will tell her or i will even fix it for her..

if i don't do it i will feel bad for the rest of the day if i saw something that didnt look right, thats just the way i am by nature. of course some people like and some people dislike it but it all depends on how you approach somebody to tell them.

and we should always look at the example of our prophet mohammad (saw) and how he approached people. he never tried to embarrass anybody or jump down there throats..

i think you should wear something different next time brother like a salwar kameez for men

i dont understand why even turn it into a discussion.


if it offends the brother then its best to not wear it to the masjid as per his request.

if not for any other reason, then out of love for another muslim brother.


inshAllah
