    Do left-handed converts to Islam need to start using their right hand for eating, drinking, writing etc?

    Re: Left-handed converts

    It's just eating and drinking that need to be done with the right hand; writing with your left hand is fine.

    Do you think the pious don't sin?

    They merely:
    Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
    Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
    Took ownership of it and don't justify it
    And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

    Re: Left-handed converts

    10% of the population is left handed.. eating is fairly easy with both hands.. writing isn't..
    my niece is left handed, we constantly tell her to eat with her right hand, and she switches (she is almost 4) but when she writes we try to make her use both hands.. if she is uncomfortable she'll switch..

    and Allah swt knows best

    My husband is left handed and no matter how hard he tries he just cannot manage to eat with his right hand without making a mess.

    Re: Left-handed converts

    I am a leftie as well!

    This was a big issue for me as i was really worried about it.

    I spoke to a scholar about this and he said Allah does not burden a soul.

    He said all you have to do is what is know such as eat with the right, clean yourself with your left hand etc and everything else such as stirring a cup, combing hair etc (day to day things) can all be done with whatever hand you are comfortable with.


    (P.s they reckon we cleverer then them rightees...Bloody right if you asks me!)

    Re: Left-handed converts

    I wonder if more lefties convert to islam percentage wise than is the general population division? We do have some characteristics that tend for us to march to the beat of our own drummer and look outside what is culturally considered "normal" for spiritual fulfilment:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-ha...eft-handedness

    "In his book Right-Hand, Left-Hand,[44] Chris McManus of University College London argues that the proportion of left-handers is rising and left-handed people as a group have historically produced an above-average quota of high achievers. He says that left-handers' brains are structured differently in a way that widens their range of abilities, and the genes that determine left-handedness also govern development of the language centres of the brain.

    McManus also says that the increase in the 20th century of people identifying as left-handed could produce a corresponding intellectual advance and a leap in the number of mathematical, sporting, or artistic geniuses."

    I think lefties are more creative and artistic... I have one sister that's a leftie and she manages quite well to eat and drink with her right hand.... she cuts with her right hand too ... She just writes with her left hand

    So many lefties here! Subhanallah!

    Did you know that it is good to train to use both of the hands (other than using it for eating)? Because you'll make both of your left and right brain work.

    Just thought of sharing
