Re.TiReD

AssalamuAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuhu!

Hope you are all well Bi'ithnillahu Ta'aala my brothers and fishters in Deen!

Hmm....welll *grin*

Ookay....I assume most of us here have heard of or used the Private messaging facility during our time here, right? And if not you're just retarded :p :skeleton: lol

Well basically we all know it exists and we all also know that any member can be contacted using it....But SubhanAllah! My dear brothers and sisters! Please fear Allah regarding all matters! Know that He is watching every single thing that you do, He knows what goes on in the hidden depths of your heart, so please bear that in mind before you do anything.

Brothers - For the sake of Allah (swt) please do not PM sisters without reason, ok you may need help (maybe once in a while, its very possible)....but think for a moment, maybe a brother could help you with the same thing? huh...? Just think insha'Allah, and if you really do need to PM a sis, keep it short and to the point.

And I'd like to mention here that this thread is to remind myself before anybody else since we are all human and prone to make mistakes and to err. But Brothers, please do not PM sisters asking for their personal details etc....this is NOT a matrimonial site :skeleton: subhanAllah if thats what you want then go look for one, but this is not the place.

...Hmm, and also a reminder for the sisters...Let us maintain our Hayaa insha'Allah and keep ourselves away from fitnah, we are the future mothers of this Ummah bi'ithnillah so my dear Akhwaat! Lets keep away from the shaytaans whisperings and safeguard ourselves from harm!

Know that this world is nothing but the blinking of an eye, we are living for the hereafter so lets make sure we are prepared enough for it.

Ok, ima end this with a quote insha'Allah, I really hope nobody was offended by this post and if anybody was then I sincerely apologise.

'The world is 3 days, as for yesterday, it has vanished along with all that was in it. As for tomorrow, you may never see it. As for today, it is yours so work in it.' Hasan al Basri

Lets make sure we make the most of our time insha'Allah and do not live to regret time spent in idle pursuits

I am glad to see this posted. The timing is very good. This is becoming a problem. Some brothers have been PMing sisters for reasons not related to clarification of a post etc.

Caution Brothers I assure you nearly every sister that gets a PM from a brother, forewards it to an admin or a mod.

I personaly do not like the PM system. If it was my choice, it would be deactivated, but most of the other staff is a bit younger and more tolerant than I am.

However, if I do get any complaints from sisters that a brother is PMing them, that brother will no longer be able to send or recieve PMs except to and from mods.

Sisters, just to be on the safe side, you know you can change your settings so that you receive PM's only from mods and people in your contacts right? so you can add the sisters to your contacts and receive PM's from them only. And for all other sisters you dont know particularly well I guess we have the sisters section, sa7?

Jazakallaahu khayran sister, this is one of the best advices for the forum. The private message facility is abused all too often and it is very saddening to see it happen. And this applies to any scenario, whether it is joking etc. through reputation messages, userpages and so on, not limited to PMs.

May we all take heed of this advice and avoid all roads to evil.

There is always a reason. I am very pleased to say that it seems many sisters do not appreciate getting personal PMs from brothers. the opposite is also true, but does not seem to be as often.

True there are times that a PM exchange between genders is not only justified, but valued and needed. But, things that may seem to be prying or flirtatious are often not appreciated, in either direction.

...And the sad thing is....that same member just PM'ed me telling me a bro had been PM'ing her too...I mean come ONNNNN! :raging: please fear Allah (swt)! And @ that particular member - sorry I just wanted to point this out

Brothers, please stay away from our young sisters in deen, or any sister for that matter....For Allah's sake, an internet forum is NOT the place...

its ok to ask for help, this box called the computer does strange things sometimes and especially when you loose data you want to mutilate someone :raging: ....this will kill me to say it....im choking *coughthebrothers arebetteratcomputerscough* , so thats why we ask for help,


and i agree on keeping it to the point, sisters dont mind when its to the point, but when people think this is shaadi.com :raging: im going to start fowarding my pm's to the admins/mods, but i believe everyone deserves a fair chance the first tym, to correct themselves.

A muslims should be firm but forgiving and patient too. :) We should keep that in mind.

That is true, but at the same time the forum admins and mods have a responsibility to take action if it is misused. The purpose of the PMs should be primarily for the purposes of clarifying posts, encourage same gender friendships and to help spread Islam and strengthen each others Iman.

We shudnt be soo suspicious. We should only worry about our own deeds.
True. It is not the desire of any of us to spread suspicision. However, on a personal note I do have the responsibility to act upon any complaints about any misuse of PMs.

Fortunatly, this is not a problem that affects the large majority of the members. Although I and probably some other staff members have recieved complaints about some misuse, it does seem most members have been using it as intended.

The bottom line. those who use the PM system properly have no problems. If you or anybody else gets an inappropriate PM, please foreward it to a mod or admin.

Yup tiz true that we should look to ourselves and our own deeds first, but where is giving naseehah forbidden?

Also, yeah maybe its none of our business what others do, but just like we are rewarded for enjoining what is good, we are also rewarded for forbidding what is evil. We will be asked about the good that we did, and the ones in a position of power (the mods and admins) will also be asked about what they did and bi'ithnillahu ta'aala they'll be able to say that they stopped free-mixing between the genders.

And @ some of the comments, no there may not be an epidemic of 'intimate PM's' going on, but we take precautions just before the illness right? we protect ourselves from the virus and take all neccassary measures to keep away from it, same way...this is just a reminder, JUST INCASE anything does happen (Allah forbid)....wallahu A'lam.

Oh and btw, those who commented on the bolded part...Brothers - For the sake of Allah (swt) please do not PM sisters without reason....

I agree.
I've had some of the most valuable PM exchanges with male forum members here in LI.
I have valued them, and never have I thought they were inappropriate.

Besides, men have a way of putting things into perspective, and balancing my views as a woman. :D

First of all I want to say thanx for the reminder but you dont have to rub it in that much I mean im sure its a small few people that have done this, some of the posts seem as if all brothers are in the middle of writing poems to all sisters.

One thing I want to ask is do the mods act upon complaints and check PM's or do they just go into random bros Pm's to see?

And last but not least my advice to the sisters is that if they get such an email, they should point it out to the bro that what he is doing is wrong, or how he is coming across is not acceptable, because maybe some brother may not even realise it.

You know what, I'll just leave you with a hadeeth that comes to mind when people say what you just did, when people say that we make it seem as though the sin was actually far worse than it is.

You do things which in your eyes are less significant than a hair, but at the time of the Messenger of Allah, we used to count them as things that could destroy a man. (Bukhaari)

That is true, it does seem to be a very small number. It is not all brothers there although it seems that sisters are more apt to report it to us.

One thing I want to ask is do the mods act upon complaints and check PM's or do they just go into random bros Pm's to see?
It is acting upon PMs that get forwarded to us as being inappropriate. The privacy of members is highly respected and protected as much as is possible.

And last but not least my advice to the sisters is that if they get such an email, they should point it out to the bro that what he is doing is wrong, or how he is coming across is not acceptable, because maybe some brother may not even realise it.
Good point, however to keep things fair, it is best for each member male or female to not reply to a questionable PM and simply report it to us. This will help get another opinion as to if it was an intentional or accidental thing. We are aware that often because of language differences something harmless may be seen in a wrong light.

The hadeeth that you just gave - deep...but very true.

Satan won't attack a muslim at once, he's too clever, he'll do it bit by bit...which is why Jolie is just reminding that we should think twice before sending a PM to the opposite gender. I'm sure,that you could PM someone of your own gender who would IA be more that happy to help. There will always be people to help...if not, the mods and admins are here too!!

You know what, I'll just leave you with a hadeeth that comes to mind when people say what you just did, when people say that we make it seem as though the sin was actually far worse than it is.

You do things which in your eyes are less significant than a hair, but at the time of the Messenger of Allah, we used to count them as things that could destroy a man. (Bukhaari)

:wasalamex

Maybe you've not understood me but I didnt say the sin is lighter then everyone thinks at all, but rather its the impression I was getting from this thread (generally, not pointing you out) that its alot of bros on this forum when its only a very small number, as bro woodrow also pointed out.

Nice hadith and thanx for the reminder again.

Why do u assume people are committing wrong? What made u think that?.

n I am in complete agreement with that hadeeth.

Does this actually happen? Nevertheless, 'tis a good reminder. By the way, the way you end your post [wasalamex] is used to reply to someone when they say assalamu aleykum, not to say farewell. Lol sorry for being picky, just thought I'd point that out.

Well what I'm trying to point out is that the small number is irrelevant. It happening just once is sufficient to get me angry enough to make a whole thread dedicated to it. And to maybe warn people (both bro's and sisters) in future if they do happen to fall into the trap.

Allahu A'lam if it happens or not (It does though btw) But we safeguard ourselves from the unknown also.

And I'm picky too, I like to end my posts with WassalamuAlaykum but since we dont have a full emo for that I use the next best thing.

It happened once, and so Jolie Fleur started a thread just to warn everyone on this forum of this, and to give a small naseehah. I don't see what's the problem?!

Oh btw, the google: truth: 'do you mean Islam' is really cool mA...cracked me up...'

Alhamdulillah sis ^^

Sheesh it seems as though many of us have become intolerant to naseehah, subhanAllah if this is the case I'll keep it to myself next time.

Haha, please no drama.

Her (thread-starter's) intention was mashaAllah very nice and I really hope Allah will reward her immensely for that! At the same time, these are not a large amount of brothers/sisters who this warning would apply to, but nonetheless, one rotten apple in the basket will rotten all apples sooner or later. She made a warning to prevent this to happen further. Well, it can't be prevented completely and forever. But Allah is always watching.

PMing doesn't have to be bad, that's not the point. The point is when it exceedes the limits. We may all be guilty of this or similiar things and inshaAllah let's as much as we like to warn others, warn ourselves.

Why not close this thread already? *don't hit me* Point made and taken. I guess in the future someone else with good intentions will make another thread about it.

Allahu aleem and fi aman Allah.
