Big Brother?

[Lonely Gal]

there are many people out there doing wrong, drinkin datin etc.. they are doing themselves more harm than any good. Its best we focus on ourselves and making us lead our lives as halal as possible..

Dear sixten that comment was not meant only for you it was a we which was generalised so please do not take things so personal, i myself said somthing about alex which was not nice so hence why i wrote "we" including myself in it.

plus if someone drinks they are doing nothing but themselves wrong what harm are thy causing us? only Allah swt knows what lies in the breast of men.
He is the only just how do you know that the muslim brother or sister that we see always praying and preaching goes to jannah and the one drinking ends up in jahanum... maybe it could be the case where the muslim brother or sister only pray and look religious to be praised by people and just for show.
well God forbid but all im saying is that we really do not know.
yes drinking alcohol is not allowed in islam but so many muslims do it. thats not a burden on our shoulder its on their own we wont be held account for it they will. and as regards free mixing i dont think there is anything wrong with that what i do think is wrong is not to be free mixing cos then that would suggest that we are not tolerable towards other people. and how else are we supposed to increase the population of islam by only sticking to muslims?majority of reverts have welcomed islam that way.

and talking from my own experience it so unfortunate to say that sometimes kafir people can be better friends and more honest and caring people than our own brothers and sisters.

Don't take anything personally from me either. I didn't make a thread stating "Have you seen those big brother contestants claiming to be muslims, arn't they just a disgrace to humanity" or anything like that. Rather, Glo, a Christian, wanted muslim opinions on their actions.

I didn't post because to vent at muslims I do not know - rather I simply stated that the actions they have done (if they done, I havn't watched it, merely trusting what I have heard by fellow board members), it is not representive of Islam, and that muslims should not go to bigbrother. All my comments were addressed to what Glo had asked, it wasn't me randomly lashing out .

This is addresseed to

plus if someone drinks they are doing nothing but themselves wrong what harm are thy causing us?

Glo didn't ask us if they are harming us, she asked if it is representive of muslims/should Muslims go to big brother. We said no.

I know but the reason why i wrote that cos some people left comments like oh but he drinks and she does this and that.

Dear sister thats very true, i have heard so many shaykhs giving lectures of words of advice and one thing that has always been repeated is start with yourself first its easy to point fingers at other people and much harder to refrain from doing that and acknowledging ur own bad points.

no one is perfect its natural we are humans if we were perfect then we wouldnt be tested nor have free will to deviate from the straight path of Allah swt.

so we our focus should be on ourselves and ourselves only when it comes to pointing out the faults of others.

are you muslim or sikh?
sorry the reason why im asking cos i got a bit confused with your quotes about Allah being the lord the Guru nanak.

Sikh, Allah is the name of God, amongst others, but the one God it is.

I don’t remember the last time I sat in front of the TV to watch any particular show.

I can’t stand the fact that they try to rationalize, glamorize, and justify sex, alcohol, immorality, pride, music, and every other sin by using deceitful items, object, phrases, or slogans that are beatified by material substance to change the moral principles of their audience.

Watching it alone illustrates that one is perfectly comfortable with what is being shown.

Dear sister forgive me for asking this but just out of curiousity how is it that you do not recieve TV channels?

This is off topic, but to answer your question, it's a choice we made as parents 5 or 6 years ago (in fact in the summer when BB came out in the UK), when our children were still little.
We decided there was too much rubbish on TV and we could do without it, so we gave up our TV licence.

We still use the TV to watch dvds and we watch selected programmes on the computer, so it's not like we don't watch anything at all - but we have better control over what is appropriate and beneficial to watch.
