A few things that really bother me about some ppl on this forum

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

Asalamulaikum

right.. we all joined the forum 4 some or other reason yeh.. i joined because i wanted to learn more about my religion and to communicate n get to know my other sisters etc. i didnt join to be ordered to, or to be told of by some person i dont even know.. no offence to anyone but most of you if not all of you dont know me personally and maybe some other members so who gave u the right to give rules like no short text lingo n that.. who can be bothered to type out full sentences? thats only if u have time and youre bored rite? (i know im typing full, but thats because people are going to have a go at me.)

i agree with the whole one word answer thing, thats stupid and you shouldnt bother saying yup, lol, ok etc (i did it once today i think) and i think we need to chill on that.

im sorry but gangsta language? huh :? like sis maz said, some people were brought up in a area where they used alot of slang yeah, and no1s going to change themselves jus for you.. is that fair enough. and the "gangster :uhwhat " lingo thats used is like u get me, thats easily understood by the majority of people isnt it? come on, it dont take a genious to figure what that means..

hijacking messages.. i been doing that alot lately and im sorry.. i know i should kinda calm down a little.. i agree with you we shoudnt do this blah blah..

but one thing i dont like is people, other than Allah and my parents, telling me what to do.. i understand if you know who i am but nearly all of the members dont know me so they cant tell me what 2 do.. im quite close with a few sisters on this forum but i dont know them personally so i wouldnt like if they were telling me what 2 do..

and can i just add, its not a sin, its not against Islam talking in slang language is it? if people dont understand what im talking about then dont bother paying attention to me..

im sorry if i offended any1.. i really am but im just saying my point of view and thats allowed rite?

anyways.. wasallam

Its the plastic g's that speak like that, remember that we must keep company of those who are good muslims. And also remember that we will be raised on the day of judgment with those people who we imitate and the company we keep.



The prophet saw told us to say give salam as a greeting and when leaving. Isnt the sunnah sufficient for us that we have to adopt the kuffar way? Remember "Asalamulaikum" is the greeting of paradise.



If people are too lazy to speak properly and use terms that we can all understand then Im sorry but your post gets dismissed as from looking at the typing it seems like the person doesnt have anything worthwhile or interesting to say.



That is to do with accents and nothing to do with how ppl speak.



Yep that has become more and more aparant to me after being here for a few months now.



Im sorry lil sis but I didnt even read that as I dont understand a word.



Yep defo, ppl start giving off bad vibes with the attitude in which they speak n what they say, I tend to blank those posts as like I sed if theyre too lazy to talk properly Im too busy to bother reading the post.

im sorry but no-ones as perfect as u think u r

You know what I still dont understand that how you can say that just cause one speaks in such a manne its hangin with the wrong crowd...Some of my mates are all white non-Muslims...they dont speak like that no no no I get it of people my age..Paki and funnily enough they are somewhat practicicing

The prophet saw told us to say give salam as a greeting and when leaving. Isnt the sunnah sufficient for us that we have to adopt the kuffar way? Remember "Asalamulaikum" is the greeting of paradise.

Yes my greetin is 'salaamz cuzin' or likewise but again it all depends on who your addressing

If people are too lazy to speak properly and use terms that we can all understand then Im sorry but your post gets dismissed as from looking at the typing it seems like the person doesnt have anything worthwhile or interesting to say.

Fair enough, your own oppnion, wont judge you for it...

That is to do with accents and nothing to do with how ppl speak.

Well yeh it is, cause its a way of talking...My point being just live with it and stop with the harsh criticisms

Yep that has become more and more aparant to me after being here for a few months now.

Fair enough

Im sorry lil sis but I didnt even read that as I dont understand a word.

Move on to the nex then ukhty, fine by me...

Yep defo, ppl start giving off bad vibes with the attitude in which they speak n what they say, I tend to blank those posts as like I sed if theyre too lazy to talk properly Im too busy to bother reading the post.

Fair enough...TUT TUT

WARNING: THOSE WHO CHAT IN SLANG DONT TALK AT ALL CAUSE THE FELLOW COMRADS DONT AGREE WITH YOUR SPEACH:rollseyes :X

 

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

innit.. if people in this forum think we "plastic gangstresses" or wateva dey wana call uz.. den fair enuf.. i wnt come bak on2 dis forum :?

 

[Muezzin]

Ah, slang and text speak. The reason I make fun of it and discourage it is not because I don't understand it (I do understand it and use it to comic effect ocassionally), but because others might not understand it, and for the sake of clarity it's probably better if everyone types in the plain form of English.

I'd say the Queen's English, but then our Ozzy members might get angry and call me a pom. Maybe.

 

[x Maz x]

You know what fair enough JazakAllah Ill keep my 'plastic G' to myself! ya'll keep hating...you might one day inshAllah start to appreciate that the younger generation have an interest on coming to the Islamic forum...Peace be wit ya'llx

 

[Muezzin]

P.S. Zubair, you little joker... expect that ban any time soon

Not on my watch. That site was hilarious!

 

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

im wiv u sis.. since we get called plastics g'z n dat, let it be.. im not even gona bother saying anything, if u all fink ur so perfect yeh, im sorry i aint perfect.. the people older than us should be proud of the younger generation.. atleast were making an effort and trying to learn more about our religion.. but i guess none of you'z understand that..

if we wanted 2 b g'z we wont come on an islamic forum and act lyk "gangstaz".. dtz disrespectful.. calling urself a muslim gangsta is disrespectful.. islam dont allow gangstaz.. i actuali feel sorry 4 da people who fink dat, atleast we'r tryna 2 make an effort bt u dnt appriciate dt soo fair nuff.. laterz.

 

[firdaw]

true i agree with you. I hate people who try to act like gangsters and they think that makes them cool.

 

[Daffodil]

im sorry but no-ones as perfect as u think u r

I will ignore that childish comment.

You know what fair enough JazakAllah Ill keep my 'plastic G' to myself! ya'll keep hating...you might one day inshAllah start to appreciate that the younger generation have an interest on coming to the Islamic forum...Peace be wit ya'llx

I await for the day when the youth respect their elders.

This topic has been discussed ad nauseum. If you want to speak stupid then do it in the Halal fun section. In all other sections, where somewhat intelligent thoughts are being communicated, it should be taken for granted that no loser lingo should be used. In the end you do a diservice to yourselves and ultimately even Islam, seeing as this is an Islamic forum and anyone genuinely interested might get put off by this attitude.

Ditto!

the people older than us should be proud of the younger generation.. atleast were making an effort and trying to learn more about our religion.. but i guess none of you'z understand that..

Are you trying to impress others or ur creator? lil sis, remember to keep ur intentions pure and to only ever do anything for the sake and for the pleasure of Allah swt.

Your talking about youth this n that, Im only 20 myself so dont try and justify petty behaviour.

This thread wasnt aimed to cause offence, I apoligise if it did do, please forgive me. It was just a thread for me to let loose on some of the things that frustrate me on this forum.

Asalamulaikum

 

[MusLiM 4 LiFe]

yeah, that comment maybe childish but can i remind you that i am still a child.. well i think i am anyway..

i respect my elders.. i dunno about other people but i do..

i aint trying to impress others, why would i do that? would it help me later on? i just want to keep good and pure in this world as whatever good i do in this life will benefit me in the next..

well im sorry that im quite "imature".. but sorry i cant change myself for u.. :X

im not offended i just think that youre trying to put hundredz of rules over us and most of us dont like being told what 2 do.. :?

 

[Pk_#2]

AsalamuAlaykum,

May Allah swt guide u. Ameen

jazakhala khair sis...

And i pray that Allah (Swt) guides you far more than that...seeing as you are a very lost child...in your own little PERFECT world...being your PERFECT self with no FAULTS what so ever...thinking that you are doing a very GOOD job...finding faults in others....oh not only that...but you work extra hard in displaying these faults also...

I pray that for every fault you find, Allah (swt) takes you a step closer to heaven...that way you will never miss it...inshaAllah

I hope you understood that sis...i tried my best not to use text

Sorry about the spastic part...in my other post..i will edit that...i was becoming very upset and offended

WalaykumSalaam.

 

[Muezzin]

Mmm, members do understand this sarcasm can only go so far before it ends up breaking rules. So after that little tit-for-tat, let's just all discuss this matter like civil human beings, non?

 

[Daffodil]

i aint trying to impress others, why would i do that? would it help me later on? i just want to keep good and pure in this world as whatever good i do in this life will benefit me in the next..

one thing that u can do to keep "gud and pure" is refrain from showing agression and saying harsh things to ur brothers and sisters such as "no ones perfect like u think u are"

well im sorry that im quite "imature".. but sorry i cant change myself for u..

im not asking u to change ur self for me, but show a little adhab/resepect for the sake of ur deen.

im not offended i just think that youre trying to put hundredz of rules over us and most of us dont like being told what 2 do..

I wasnt "putting rules" over u, I was just adressing the issue.

Sis, when we are a little annoyed with some one or something we shud count to 10 and pray Auzoo billah because the shaitaan takes over our minds and causes us to be in a state of temporary madness, n this causes us to say hurtful things n let loose our tongues and our minds become clouded. There fore if some one ses something on this forum that offends you dont just blurt out comments, think about how the person would feel if they read your comment n how wud u feel if some one spoke like that to u.

When u use love and kindness in the way u speak u will find that ppl warm to u and listen to what u are saying. When u speak harshly ppl dont remember what u sed but they remember u being harsh.

Our prophet muhammed saw is the best example for exercising patience and showing love and kindess to ppl and Inshallah we can all take heed in order to be successfull in this life and the here after.

Asalamulaikum

:wasalamex

I will start this thread by making a dua: Oh my lord make the Muslims firm in their deen and in their ibadah. Forgive them for the sins they have committed knowingly and unknowingly. Ya rabb, shower your mercy and compassion upon the ummah and don’t deprive us of your protection.

Ameen.

Firstly
Thank you for your concern sister Daffodil, it is very much appreciated. This isn’t a matter of slang; slang bothers no one here because essentially people understand it. The problem is txt language. There is a high percentage of youngsters here who are not used to addressing others in a more formal way, having said that, age is of little importance as I’m as old as some of the people who do reply in txt language. Nonetheless as muslims we should find excuses for our fellow muslims and not slander them.

Secondly
Those who speak in such manner could have been bought up in an environment where speaking like that is a norm. This does not suddenly make them less intelligent than us so we all need to hold our horses and hold back a little.

Thirdly
Let who ever wants to act like a gangster be, what is up with people and being at other people’s business. You think these people don’t know about their wrongs of their attitude? They are aware of it and just choose to follow such manner. Us pointing the finger will not change anything. So let me remind everyone here to be wary of what they say. Instead make dua for them….for verily that is more beneficial than ranting about their flaws.

Fourthly
Ironically this thread has grown like a bad rash, people complain yet I see absolute no reports from members willing to help with the situation (use the bad report tool). I don’t know but may be you all think the admins and mods have super human qualities and that they can filter every post made. Well I’m sorry to crush your dreams brothers and sisters….

Last but not least
Everything is progressing, it takes time for things to be put in place, it doesn’t miraculously happen over night. Nor should anyone be expecting that. In a case like this has anyone tried to make dua for their fellow brothers and sisters? As anyone stopped themselves from judging others and had sabr fee sabilillah? Has anyone tried to speak to certain individuals about the way they portray themselves?

I see no point of this thread continuing. Why?

1) It is turning into a center where members are at each others throats
2) People have forgotten how to address their fellow Muslim brothers and sisters
3) The issue has been discussed enough times and a solution is being worked on

If that is not a good enough excuse for its closure then PM me.

Jizakallah khair
