There islammessage.com that i belong too but warn you its very inactive you will lucky to see 2 new recent posts a day. I do not know why there are alot of members is just not as active as this, theres another i know of but i quit , it was childish.

Also the islammessage forum makes u wait to be accepted, like once you register, i would say you have a 2 day wait before you can even post or do anything besides read posts

WalaykumSalaam All.

:sl: brother,
What do you feel we are doing wrong?

:w:

No offence sidi,but i feel that the Mod's are going against the rules they have made.

"no sect discussions.."

Yet there is an entire section dedicated to it.

You should either remove the rule,or the section. :)

Thats my opinion anyway,at the end of the day,you have more wisdom than i do,so you may do as you wish.

Actually brother I'm glad you brought it up. We're always open to feedback and we're not perfect either so we rely on our members to help us out.

To clarify this concern - we do not allow sectarian discussions or debates, but on the other hand in our opinion there is still the need to educate the Muslim community about those deviations that are not in accordance with the Qur'an and Sunnah, and we try to do this without attacking specific people or slandering scholars. This is, in our estimate, the best way to handle the issue, but if you can think of a better alternative as I said earlier we are open to feedback.

Hmmm - I couldn't get either of those to open... Is the frst one Gawaher?

[NJUSA]

I can see the need to prohibit sect vs. sect discussions, but removing links that in the moderator's opinion alone are created by a sect is something different. Why is that? And even if we were to post links to say, for example, a Shi'a forum, that's not holding a discussion on it, and would actually help contribute to greater unity, as then those who are interested in learning more about our Shi'a sisters and brothers could go directly to them.

oi stop spamming LI :p

too many P2P links posted - i think the mods should take some action...

infact i wanted to recomment this to the admin here to make an individual thread about sites - with their webste address OR name as the subject title

that way what will happen is that redundancy will be reduced so that 100 people arent posting the same link over and over

But it will be a big task whoever takes it on since there are a lot of links here...

On my forum it took me 2 hours to do but it was worth it..

just a suggestion

Insha'allah i'll check out that forum in the weekend,once im finished doing my studies.

[a.abraar]

nice tu have a forum without the sunni shia seceterian differences and abuse goin on

[scentsofjannah]

people discuss christianity judaism hinduism etc..but yet whats wrong if we discuss OUR differences?

[SirZubair]

people discuss christianity judaism hinduism etc..but yet whats wrong if we discuss OUR differences?

Because the discussion doesnt remain a discussion for too long.

Before you know it,it turns into a battle of "My imam is right.." "NO,MY Imam is right.." "You are no muslim!Astugfirullah!" "MAy allah have mercy on your,you swine!"...get the drift? :hiding:

To be honest,as far as the christianity/judism/hinduism discussions go,i dont agree with it.

I believe muslims should work on themselves (doesnt matter if they are Sunnis or Shias) before they point the finger at other religons.

And if anyone gives me a pathetic excuse such as "..we are doing Dawah brother!" then all im going to say is,There is a way of doing Dawah,and there is a way of Not doing Dawah.

Whats happening in that Section is Not the way of doing Dawah.

Thats my 2Cents worth.

Wa'salaam.

jazakallah for the information

[dishdash]

Oh dear oh dear... this is all rather telling isn't it?!

I start a thread to let us all expand our networks if not our horizons and what happens? I mean how could one get controversy out of a thread like this?! And yet subhanallah we've pulled it off. Mabrook brothers and sisters.

Vive la difference. Celebrate our differences, don't deny them.

Sorry Double D.

I beg to differ, the WORST must be www.islamicaweb.com/forums !!!!!!
THOSE members call themselves MUSLIM?? Almost every post from members has at least 1 swear word or name-calling in it!!!! And they talk in General Forum thread something like this "Whould you marry a guy who misses one finger in his right hand?" or something other sooo stupid that I simply couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!!

And even in threads where it is required serious discussing/talking, some idiot has to post something silly/stupid/offending and then many other idiots join in!!!!!

Those Muslims have to learn how to behave!!! (at least in the Internet!!)

:w:

[Hijaabi22]

i think this borad is by far the BEST ive ever cum across

Yeah, I agree with that. That board is boring... But the site itself isn't meant to be very "islamic" and I really love some articles there, because it describes some Muslims in this world so well. No offend to anyone! :)

I wouldn't point fingers if I were you... I've seen many a post on these boards that was considerably less than erudite- and not just in the General Chat or Halal Fun sections, and by some who should know better.

True, but I am talking about those in that forum who really behave more worse than some in this forum have, well, at least what I'VE seen, so pardon me if I am in your opinion wrong. May Allah (swt) forgive me if I have said anything wrong.

:w:

[NJUSA]

Don't worry about it- it's just a difference in perception. How about this: instead of pointing fingers, and judging other people's behavior, let's all work on ourselves, so that we aren't the kind of people that these things are said about. We can't control what other people post, but we can refrain from posting things that are insulting or inane.

[NJUSA]

I'm fond of the Muslim Wake Up forums. They are one of the coolest groups of Muslims that I know, and issues such as methodology, hermeneutics, ijtihad, and the nuances of several languages are discussed in detail and in a (mostly) respectful manner. Chit chat is (mostly) confined to designated forums and private messages. There are some who may consider them "anti-Islamic" because they don't promote the same flavor of Islam that their accusers do, but they are definitely pro-Islam, Qur'an-loving, humanitarian folk.

Please stop posting things that Do Make Sense.

So,..Unless you want to join my crew (Btw,Dishdash is part of my club..) (thought i'd warn you before you paid for your membership..),let me know,i'll PM you my home address and i'll wait for a cheque written out to Mr Zubair Mohammed for $nz250...

Oh, bite me, Far7an. Just because you don't like MWU doesn't mean the whole world revolves around you. Do you even know the meaning of half the terms I used in that post?

I thought you said they were salafi's here? I thought Kuffar was their favourite word for non-Salafi Moslems!

:)

Regardless, jazak'Allah for everyone who has posted their favourite other sites here.

I will continue to update this thread with new sites that I have come across and insh'Allah will attach a spreadsheet I have put together detailing no of members, threads, posts etc. (though bare in mind these are always increasing alhamdulilah!)

There's a huge variety of sites - some huge, some tiny, some parochial, some globally minded, some narrow-minded, some oozing with scholarly knowlege and resources, some playgrounds of fitna, some with hekma, some without, some that are charming and some that are utterly vile.

The point is, there's much we can learn from all of them. Not necessarily about Islam, but most certainly about Moslems. And knowing your brothers and sisters, whether they be Shia, Sunni, Wahabbi, Sufi, or anything in between can only be a good thing. We may have ideological differences but at the end of the day we all believe in Allah swt. ANd insh'Allah the mercy of God will see us all as one ummah together in Jannah one day.

I would encourage us all to move around - join other forums - but remain transient. Our diversity, both geographical as well as theological is a mercy if we would but see it.

You need to see the good and bad in our community, for both exist in abundance. Join other forums (though don't leave here completely!) and see what unity can be forged. See things from new angles - don't be afraid to expand your horizons.

You're no Salafi akhi - ? Haha! Well that alone is never the problem anyway. Alhamdulilah, you haven't deleted or edited my posts - unlike Muhammad. In fact you took my barb in the manner of a brother. Good for you! For that reason alone I will continue to stay here.

Regretting your adab yet?!

Actually, I deleted and edited the posts in this thread which violated the forum policy on sectarian comments. And, bi'idhnillah we will continue to block those who intend to sow disunity in the Muslim ummah by spreading sectarian labels and slandering other groups. We have always made our position manifestly clear - we follow Islam as it was revealed by Allah :arabic2: in the Qur'an, as it was explained and implemented by the Prophet peace be upon him, and as it was understood by the immediate recipients of the message, the early generations of Muslims. After this, any label thrown around is simply artificial and banks on preconceived notions and misconceptions of others.

And as for the unjust slander of declaring others to be kuffar, we reject this completely. Indeed this issue is as Shaykh Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab said:

As for ruling someone to be a kâfir, then I consider a kâfir to be the person who knows the religion of the Prophet (saws), then, after such knowledge, curses it, and prevents people from following it, and shows enmity to whoever follows it. So this is the one whom I consider to be a kâfir. And the majority of this nation - By Allah's blessings - are not like this!" (Al-Durrar Al-Saniyyah, 1/73)
