Bismillā hir Rahmā nir Rahīm
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
اشْهَدُ انْ لّآ اِلهَ اِلَّا اللّهُ وَ اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدً اعَبْدُه وَ رسوله
Ašh hadu al-lā ilāha illā-llāhu, wa
ašh hadu anna Muhammadun ‘abduhu wa rasūluhu
I bear witness that none is worthy of worship but Allah, the One alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger
As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):
Being nosy or inquisitive in Humanities is referred to as human inquiry and expression. There is a difference between the scholarly inquiry required to make scientific deductions and just being plan nosy.
The key to inquiry is observation. We can never understand the way things work without first having something to understand. Understanding through experience means making observations and seeking patterns or regularities in what we observe. For the most part, we move through life at an intuitive level, unconscious of particularities. That is the inquiry.
If someone in this field (Humanities) could expound it would helpful.
The Jinn were nosy!
Surah Hijr 15:18
15:18 But any that gains a hearing by stealth, is pursued by a flaming fire, bright (to see). (Y. Ali translation)
What are some of the methods used to limited a nosy person from receiving your personal information when you are asking a general question:
1. Keep the question general don't allow them to request salacious details
2. Look them straight in the eyes (if not online) and ask them is personal detail required for an answer to a general question?
3. Establish your boundaries. Everything isn't for everybody
4. If you engage in gossip and intimate details of others life's you can expect them to expect details about you.
Nosy people are crafty. The person who asks all the questions gets all the answers, when you are attempting to get answers not answer questions.
The inquiries that become a soap opera. People hanging on every word.
What is your view?
