when ppl follow culture and not islam but call that cultural practice islam its ok for us to have a laugh and giggle about.
also i think its important that we all inform eachother cultural stuff that we've seen and heard about so we can warn others and make sure we dnt do it out selves. cuz sometimes i see practicing ppl do stuff that is culture rather then islam because theyve never asked about thr history of that practice.
so lets all share these funny culturals things we used to do n believe in.
we were told to fold the corner of our musallahs so the shaitan cudnt pray on it. lol, where did that come from? i say let the shaitan pray, if he wants to repent let him repent, it always makes me laugh wen i go to some ones house n their musallahs are folded up in the corner.
ill try n think of some more n post em wen i remember inshallah but want to hear some of urs.
Assalamu alikum sister,
Followings are the things I am following in Pakistan out of respect which may be hadith or maybe not :
1.when I hear Azan I cover my head
2.when I do wadu in bathroom I cover my head.
They say if you don't cover your head, satan is going to urinate on you.
I want to make sure these are ok to follow or not.
I personally try not to laugh at things, just incase I get it wrong at it is from Islam.
But I hope yall have fun.
I think Br Isa is right, what if we in our ignornace may think something is cultural, but in actual fact it may have some foundation from Qur'an and Sunnah?
Make Dua for your Brothers and the Angels will make Dua for You!
Happy moments, Praise Allah
Difficult moments, Seek Allah
Quiet moments, Worship Allah
Painful moments, Trust Allah
Every moment, Thank Allah
If Allah brings you to it, He will bring you through it
2) When you yawn, cover your mouth or Satan will go inside it.
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible, for if anyone of you (during the act of yawning) should say: 'Ha', Satan will laugh at him."
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning, so if someone sneezes and then praises Allah, then it is obligatory on every Muslim who heard him, to say: May Allah be merciful to you (Yar-hamuka-l-lah). But as regards yawning, it is from Satan, so one must try one's best to stop it, if one says 'Ha' when yawning, Satan will laugh at him."
^To make a list of stuff people claim are a part of Islam but actually are just culture.
In my culture they have this thing against leaving shoes upside down, apparently its bad because its pointing to the heavens.
Oh and another one- if someone is sick they put a blanket on top of the person and put a peice of lead in to boiling water and it makes this popping sound and apparently its meant to scare away the evil eye! ffended: I hate this one, isnt it shirk to do that?!?! Oh and after they have done it a few times they get the sick person to drink the water... Ya Allah can you imagine the possibilty of lead poisoning?!?!

im talking about the stuff thats obviously from culture.
i think the most funny ones are the ones that take place in weddings, i heard that wen the bride and groom leave the wedding they drive the car backwards and forwards seven times!
another one i actualy seen is the bride comes in with a long piece of material over her head and her friends are all underneath it too. (i dnt think they realised thats what hindus do as they believe it "wards off evil" way to go piece of cloth, u have magical poswers, perhaps itll start flying too)
yea i heard that quran open one, they say the shaitan reads it, i say let the devil read the quran, he probably wants to repent.

Assalamu Aleykum Wa Rhametulah,
Insha'Allah, I was just putting my input that is all, I hope that everyone here is responsible enough not to just blindly put anything that they find funny thinking it's culture when it might be a part of Islam that is all sister, and I wish not to take any more of the thread up.
I hope everyone is careful, have fun!
Assalamu Aleykum. Eesa.
The path is long but I hope we meet,
After the grave and the Day, in paradise in bliss upon a reclined seat.
A traveler traveling - travelled from shirk to tawheed,
If I'm remembered for anything - let it be the Mercy I seek.
