I've just been thinking ...*shock, horror* that its been 3 years since I joined LI...I was just reminiscing and thinking of the ways in which it has benefited me; if at all- and whether I could have gained the same or equal benefit offline.
Hmm, the answer is no. Simply because this forum has taught me tolerance and compassion. Tolerance in the sense that I'd not converse with as many non-muslims in a week offline, that I would online. And LI has taught me compassion...SubhanAllah we see so many members on this board with problems, difficulties and dilemma's. We know that a believer is the mirror of a believer, which is why we try our utmost to help each other out.
LI has taught my many things, but above all its taught me how to be strong when one is feeling down. To never despair of the mercy of Allah (swt) and most importantly, that Allah (swt) does not overburden any soul. I've learnt this and thats probably why I like to post in the Advice and Support forum.
LI has been there for me during my 'down-times'....(although they probably didnt know, thanks to the anonymous account *grin*). But yeah, looking back- although I've left this forum a number of times...I always find myself coming back to it. No forum can beat it in my opinion, I've joined several others and one of them turned out to be the biggest fitnah of the cyber world SubhanAllah...
So yeah...LI has been great for myself and for my Imaan, although it too has had its 'down-times' with fitnah creeping in here and there.
Its changed me from who I was into a better person (I think) and it has increased my knowledge of Islaam and my manners and everything. E.g. before joining LI, I never used to use 'InshaaAllaah', 'MashaaAllaah', 'Alhamdulillah', 'Jazaak Allaah Khayr' etc. It was all "gangster-fied", you know? I used 2 spk lyk dis n usd 2b propa gangstafied n dat get me, n it woz only afta joinin dis sik forum dat i became aite, nuf respect goin out 2 LI!...I mean, it was only after I joined LI, I changed the way I said things, Jazaak Allaah Khayr LI.
one thing i really liked *stil do* is the sisterhood and brotherhood we have here, it gives one hope that there are alot of great people out there who all care bout each other
LI taught me to be strong at tough times, by reading the advice everyone gives each other i feel myself getting stronger and braver to stand against my problems and not be scared or anything
and last but not least, LI has definetly increased my Iman and my fear of Allah
Learn silence as you have learned speech.
Speech will guide you, and silence will protect you.
Aw i feel left out. only been here for 8 monthes.
lol
BUT , I DID learn music is haram from this site, i DID learn about the whole "jazakallah khair" thing. lool.. see my first olden posts i used to say "shukran" loool.
then learned and googled what jazakallah khair means.
I say inshallah and mashallah MUCH more now.
I realized im pretty much a sucky like truemuslim. Coz i used to think i am a good muslim.
So now its really hard. everything. so this forum helped and made things way to hard.
Hmm...i learned...em...
okey pretty much it (lol)
Well I joined almost a year ago unlike you all but I used to read threads as a guest and through it all I gained alot of knowledge from this forum, met alot of people from different parts of the world, My rhyming skills got better mashallah ...and by reading some responses through posts I learnt how to deal with different issues and problems. Jazakallah khair for making the forum the way it is today..I'm sure it's not easy running a forum like this.
“The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are just like one body. When one of the limbs is afflicted, the whole body responds to it with sleeplessness and fever”.

AssalamuAlaykum
Aww masha'Allah sis such a heartwarming post.
May Allah (swt) increase the feeling of Brotherhood and sisterhood on LI and keep it a place that is fun but Fitnah-free, beneficial, educational but friendly also.
And most importantly, may Allah keep LI Fish-Friendly. Ameen!
its also the reason i stopped listening to music and have a beard
lol LI rox
Mash ALLAH...lol you hardly ever see alot of brothers with beards...its kinda sad cuz the sisters wear there hijab but the brothers continue to shave their beards clean..but again Mash ALLAH
i've learnt alot from LI
i've learnt how to be more confident with myself and with what i believe.
LI changed my life style to the best.and i gained alot so much knowledge. and yeh i used to say thanx, very good, and all these stuff instead of mashallah, jazakiallah khair.
Three simple rules in life:
1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place
