Dust (real name Sooraya Qadir) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Universe. She is one of the student body in the Xavier Institute, and a member of the Hellions squad therein.

Dust first appeared in New X-Men #133 (2002). She was created by Grant Morrison and Ethan Van Sciver, though it wasn't until she appeared in the New X-Men: Academy X series, written by Nunzio DeFilippis and Christina Weir, that her character was truly developed.

Dust is an adolescent Sunni Muslim who possesses the mutant power to turn herself into a sand-like substance. Born in Afghanistan, she was rescued by the X-Men's Wolverine from a slave-trading ring and sent to the Xavier Institute in Westchester County, New York. Quiet and nervous, she has experienced difficulty adapting to her new surroundings - particularly after being given the loud and rebellious Surge as a roommate. She is currently a member of the Hellions squad.
[edit]

Powers

Dust can turn herself into a cloud of a sand-like substance, and (under normal circumstances) control where this cloud goes, before reforming at will. At times she can move so fast in the dust form that she can strip the flesh from her enemys bones.

Done, jazakallahu khairan.

[azim]

Just out of curiosity - why don't some of you think it's right.

The character doesnt really exist, and it's defaming Islam at all. Rather it's probably giving a positive view on the hijab - one that most people who read the comics otherwise wouldn't have gotten.

It's nothing huge, just a small character in a small comic. But at least its positive.

Well making images which are animated and repersent people is haraam.

[akulion]

true @ islam-truth

even one site i saw Hamza the Muslim Kid and I was wondering "how can this animated kid spread Islam when its against the teachings of Islam"

Allah knows best - he guides people in anyway he wants

Ah, thas a good point. I didn't think about it like that.

I know theres a difference of opinion about drawing, but to error on the side of caution is better I guess.

On the other hand, it's not muslims who are drawing or animating. These comics are gnna be around regardless, a strong muslim niqaabi in one of them is still a form of dawah.

I see where your coming from, but remeber a sin is a sin no matter how good the intention.

Since the creation of the character, Dust has always been portrayed as a devout Sunni Muslim from Afghanistan. As a voluntary part of her faith, she always wears a burqa when in public.

[- Qatada -]

:wasalamex


I got a strong feeling shes going to start off with a abaya/burka and be proper modest.. and gradually they'll make her more westernized and she'll be open infront of men and everything.


You ask why they may have done it - and its obvious they've made a muslim character so the muslims view it and then get affected by it. And theres probably going to be a bad influence on the muslims through this..

I personally dont like the idea..


wa Allaahu a'lam.



:salamext:

[Bittersteel]

^exactly bro.

[Muezzin]

I think it's a flippin' miracle to have a couple of non-Muslim dudes creating this devout female Muslim character, who wears the burqa for all the right reasons. If nothing else, it educates comic book readers on the true reasons for this particular Islamic ruling, rather than the negative media hype from the likes of Fox News.

I don't think they'd change the character's dress code so she's more 'Western'. It doesn't fit with the ethos of the 'X-Men' stories, which is acceptance.

Assalamu Alaikum

Her "islamic" outfit, seems a bit tight and body forming
and she kinda looks evil...
and adding to what bro fi sabilillah said, she might go through some freaky stuff, which wud make her viewed as evil or something,

and then again they might make ppl's views a bit lighter upon the Islamic world,

either way its going to brew some curiousity about Islam

allahu 'alem

fi aman Allah
w'salaam

[Bittersteel]

no Muezzin they are gonna make her marry a US soldier who has killed some Talibans.I know the United States.anyways this shows how westerns are highly addicted to Muslim women.

[Muezzin]

To be fair, that's probably so you can make out the shape of the character. Otherwise it'd just look like a big black shape on the page. ;)

and she kinda looks evil...

Name me a woman that isn't evil.

That was a joke. :p

and adding to what bro fi sabilillah said, she might go through some freaky stuff, which wud make her viewed as evil or something,

Hey, this is comics - if she goes evil, she'll be good by the next issue. She'll also probably never ever die.

either way its going to brew some curiousity about Islam

For the better, I hope.

no Muezzin they are gonna make her marry a US soldier who has killed some Talibans.

Erm... okay.

I know the United States.

Comic book writers are not indicative of the United States as a whole ;)

anyways this shows how westerns are highly addicted to Muslim women.

Aren't we all?

That was another joke, don't ban me.

[azim]

Lol to Meuzzin. I can't rep you tho, gotta spread it around like manure on a farmyard.

I agree though, this isn't a bad thing. I would suggest us Muslims make our own comics, but that probably is a bit boardline haram. It could have been very good though. They can have super-powers like fast growing beards and invisibility thobes. There can the Masjid Muadhan who's tone death and thinks tajweed grows in his backgarden that paralyses people when he sings. The comic relief could be the Mayor of whichever city it's set in, who turns up every episode to give the same speech about cultural diversity etc.. only to be killed in each issue in a variety of gruesome ways.

Or maybe not...

oh yes cuz god forbid she wont have curves, cuz the long eyelashes and rings on her fingers arent enough to make her look like a woman....

Name me a woman that isn't evil.

That was a joke.:p

o000oo00o0h and ur lucky it was :anger:

Hey, this is comics - if she goes evil, she'll be good by the next issue. She'll also probably never ever die.

What do you mean what would they do with fast growing beards?

One second its a mano-a-mano stand off between Fast-Growing-Beard Man and some Misc. enemy, BOOM!, next minute its a tangle of hair with no escape.

trust me ... as a fellow Bengali ... guys of color (black, brown etc) are WAY too addicted to western white girls ... and think of sinful thoughts and look at sinful pics and videos of western girls and want to get a western girl as a gf/wife.

[afriend]

:sl:
Well you're gonna expect that from some people...Don't mean to be rude but not every1 is such a good muslim nowadays. But off-course we must do our best to warn against these actions. But at the end of the day it is all in Allah's hands as it says in the Qura'an:

"...Allah guides who he wills and leads astray who he wills.." Surah Baqarah, Part 3.

[Nawid]

She turns into sand? Does anyone else see that as kind of racist?

[Muezzin]

She turns into sand? Does anyone else see that as kind of racist?

Then I guess the character of Magneto is racist too. He's Jewish and can manipulate metal. Obviously an insult to all the Jewish jewellers out there. :p

Don't play the race card too easily. ;)

Muezzin's on a role today with his jokes, everyone give him some reps, or even better report him to the police (and i'll give YOU reps)

Due to the off-topic discussion, I think it's best the thread is closed :).

I think the point brother Islam_Man was making was that he felt these people were degrading Islam by incorporating a Muslim character into the series.
