y u sayin funny things bout muslims, all muslims r not lyk tht, and those tht are we shouldn't expose theirr faults but hide em 4rm others.
hola,
i think, as a matter of politeness, it is not right to talk about people's faults. but at the same time it is not our responsibility or place to actively conceal them... that is deception. let each person's character be judged according to their own merits, and not upon the facades they construct for themselves or the facades we construct for them...
Don't go to the mall to much sis, this life is but temporary,
Why do you fight? I hope that was a joke, I hope things get better between you and bro.
hola,
it is the other way around... i am catholic and he is protestant so we have different beliefs about the morality of wealth, i wish he would be more generous not only with Church but also with charities and other things... he believes that there is nothing sinful about wealth and he believes he gives 'enough' and the rest should be for the future of our family. we do not fight, per se, but it is a point of contention and he knows how i feel about it...
but no, it is not a joke, i truly believe that if people have more then they should give more. money is worthless in and of itself, its worth comes from what you do with it.
y u sayin funny things bout muslims, all muslims r not lyk tht, and those tht are we shouldn't expose theirr faults but hide em 4rm others.
It is wrong to expose the fault of others, but in this case it wasn't talking about the faults of others. There weren't even any names.
Personally, I think this is a good article on muraqabah i.e. self-criticism. We should really read about how a good Muslim character chastise himself before others, in order better himself and to reach perfection that is demanded of him.
Another one! This is REALLY true and inspiring!!! please read it!
Funny how $10 looks so big when we take it to masjid and so small

Funny how we believe what newspapers say but question what the

Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray and don't
