Depends on the member
Most of the LI male members I'd have no problem in meeting. Provided of course, it is over a maryland meal consisting of the finest chicken in the world.
It'd also depend on their actions as a person - if they're the type that shout ''paki'' at every non-white guy/gal, I'd probably not want to talk with them. Ignorance is my kryptonite - too much of it will kill me.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)
personally i would not meet up with any1 lol, im to scared they might call them self ameera, a teacher from india and turn out to be henry, a convict fresh out of jail.
I'm not really friends with anyone on this forum (yet?) though, so I probably wouldn't go and meet him/her .
Should I seek a source of law other than God, when it is He Who has sent down unto you the Book (Qur'an) fully explained? And those whom We have given them the Book know that it has been sent down from the Lord with truth, so be not of those in doubt.
depends on the person
ive met forum members and given them my number etc, of course i trusted them first..
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Well, if a sister was coming to town, yeah I'd probably show her around and take the time to meet her. I'm not that much different than who I am on LI, but once you get to know me much much better, you'll notice that I'm usually a goofball.
personally i havent given my number or met anyone of the net, but but . . .
How would u act if in case one of the Forum member lands down in your country ?
well i do believe half of the forum is from my jolly old UK!!! so i dont care if they re landed lol
Would you take time to meet him? (provided he drops a thread saying he will land over there on a specific date)
erm erm erm, i dunno if i would meet someone of the net, if i knew them well and they was okily then yeah maybe, otherwise erm psssshh and its true what the sister said, that sometimes they might act like they some sort of imam and then in real life they are a weirdo loq
and contact infoo, again depends if you know the person, like in real life just because you have seen someone in face and spoken to them, it dont mean you give them your number innit, same with the net, you give out personal details because the person is kool
Jaa-Ro-Nee-Mo!!!
"they ask you when will the help of Allah (swt) come! Certainly Allah (Swt) help is always near"
I'm waiting for a call from a sister, and planning to meet her one day...but she hasn't call me up yet.
25:36 And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace.
I'd have to say I'd meet someone only if I trusted them. I'm sorry but you can never be too careful anymore.
^ agreed.
With all the stories you here lately,it's pretty frightening.Although, from numerous posts,you can kind of tell if the person writing is a poser or a genuine muslim.
Erm..as for me,It would depend,can't say yes or no since I've never been in such a situation...although,if i did agree to itI'd be sure to bring someone along with me.
I do discourage any face to face meetings with people we meet on a forum. but, there are times it can be very constructive and beneficial, perhaps even necessary.
Caution is the key and of the utmost importance. I am aware that genuine friendships do occur on forums, but remember if it is a genuine friendship all parties will agree to conditions that are safe and halal. If it does appear that a face to face is possible and it is something worth pursuing, never agree to meet alone and be certain any meeting is in a public location. Verify the identity of the person prior to any meeting, agree to only meeting in public, agree to meet only with a person of the same gender.
If for some reason there is a legitimate reason for people of the opposite gender to meet, be certain that the female member is accompanied by an older male relative. Keep everything halal.
Never assume that because somebody told you something that it is true. Ask pertinent questions and verify all answers before agreeing to a face to face meeting. Also be certain that their is a purpose for the meeting. Simple desire to put a face with a name is not sufficient reason.
The word Caution can not be said enough.
Also be certain that if you are the one initiating the reason for the meeting, that you do your utmost to assure the other person, you are who you claim to be and give the person sufficient information and time to verify anything you have said.
Better to always keep things on the side of your safety, rather than let your thoughts of meeting a new friend end up as a disappointment or even as a danger.
Remember, nearly everything you would hope to accomplish by a face to face meeting can be done through mail, PMs or telephone. Use those as your primary options if contact is needed and resort to face to face meetings only if there is something that can not be done by any other means.
