[yoshiyahu]

What are the purpose of the above mentioned things? What do they do?

[Brother_Mujahid]

[Maryam]

But whats Rep Power for??
How do you become or get a rep power?
What do we do?????

Brother Ahmed have asked this question, but no one reples.
So i hope inshallah this one does

I'm curious, when i saw "REP POWER"/????

[Khattab]

for some reason you cant do anything with them, you cant buy anything from the "shop" because it keeps saying you havent got enough, also the muslims on the board are meant to give zakat to the poorer memebers on the board who dont have as many points and "the people of the book" are to pay the jizya

[Maryam]

huh?
k, what about me?
DO i have enoguh???

[Khattab]

Alhamdulillah, no sister you are okay you dont have many points i can see so you dont have pay the zakat

[Maryam]

make sure its all payable to me

[Khattab]

Jizya is the poll tax payed by the christians and jews who are living in an islamic state, they pay the jiyza, where as muslims pay zakat for charity

[Maryam]

er...can i repeat?
what is jizya? :confused:

[Khattab]

Jizyah is the Arabic language translation of Poll tax or "head tax", a tax imposed on male individuals of other faiths living under Muslim rule.

I will look for an article on it for you.

[Maryam]

Sounds expensive

That's a good one, Amir. I think we should have a thread in general chat where the poorer members come for Zakat, lol.

[أحمد]

:confused: I've looked through both threads, but still I'm not sure why I can't give reps.

[Maryam]

Brother you can't do it ALOT in a day, yu need to give it a break.
Coz' i did that in UI forum, and honestly it won't let me give rep pionts.
So i gave it a break for a day, and alhamdiullah its working

[أحمد]

:sister: No that's not the case; I could give reps before, but today it's just not working; Internet Explorer gets stuck or it just closes down when I try to give reps. :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Maryam]

Brother i wish i could help more, but i dunno really

[أحمد]
