"When the people in the west quote freedom its is that they want freedom for people to accept their evil without any criticism."

They do not truly believe in freedom but are fighting for the right to enforce their own oppression, bigotry and moral law.
Eg Ban the burka, dress like a hooker.
Ban child marriage, be a sodomite or marry a hag.
Ban cannabis, drink booze.
Ban polygamy, have a bunch of mistresses.
Ban Islam, live in a police state.
Freedom.... don't make me laugh.

Btw don't worry about the world demise, it is its destiny. Try to enjoy the time you have on this planet.
Here is a little poem to cheer eveyone up:
Three quarters of the world are starving, the rest are dead.
Overdosed with insensitivity, nail varnished to crosses.

Happy Rammadan.
 
Asalamu Alekum

If you allow me, I will be straightforward. It's so obvious these days, what "freedom" stands for. Indeed Allah gives us the freedom of choice and indeed those who go against what Allah commands shall be in Hell if Allah wills. Freedom has become more like cheapness, dirt, mindlessness etc. Some countries including arabic muslim countries are now promoting the spread of fitnah and they face it with a smile, and what will they say when they meet Allah swt? It is becoming harder and harder to live amongst the "living dead", those who live for life and die for life and their thoughts consist of nothing but life. They want freedom to live, Allah gives it to them, even if they disbelieve, but when the time comes, they have no more freedom and no more life nor death(Eternal Hell).

As a matter of fact, freedom is the acceptance of evil if its a forbidden type of freedom. Allah swt doesn't want anything hard on us and He gives us freedom of doing somethings that are not wrong. However, the concept of freedom has lost all purity in our world today and its simply a method of loosing oneself to evil and everlasting darkness.

Everytime you switch on the TV there is evil, you walk on the road there is evil, you go online there is evil, wherever one is there is evil, but amongst the sands of evil there lies light that we all have the freedom to choice, and that's the freedom we should all choose.

May Allah destroy all evil and lead us all to His light, ameen
 
Wa alaykum salam wa rahmatullah.

That is so far the best definition of Freedom I have ever read. SubhanAllah, you explained it just perfectly brother. Everything you said is soo true. Freedom these days is artificial. The original concept is long gone. Democratic governments and the media wants to shove freedom down peoples throats, even if they dont want to accept it. Ameen to the dua

Freedom to protest stupid laws, like banning burka.

Ban Islam? I am not aware of that "freedom". Here in the United States your right to believe in Islam is guaranteed. Unfortunately the price for that freedom is the freedom of others to criticize your religion.

Police state? You believe most Western countries are police states? If so then come visit my neck of the woods and you will learn different.

The price for freedom is having to deal with those that disagree with you, whether that comes to the way they dress, they way they pray or the way they spend their free time.

Muslims, though, have the freedom to do whatever their religion requires of them.

Muslim, yes. But not all people do, and frankly, I'm actually glad. You see, there is a small group of people in Vermillion County, IL who for "religious" reasons (by their own definition, no actual group I've ever heard of espouses this) practice serial incest. Another better known group in rural Arizona has a history of practicing pedophilia under the pretense that it is a part of their religion. In both cases they have been prosecuted and I think appropriately so.

But this does raise a sticky problem in a society that claims to grant people freedom of choice for it ultimately means that society gives itself the right to make values statements that trump the personal and religious values of its members and that very idea is counter to the whole concept of personal liberty and freedom.
 
I have spent years and years looking towards the Day of Judgement. I have personally for real NEVER smelt a rose, and I NEVER will. Why should I continue to look at things in enjoyment when people are being held, tortured in prison etc?

Ukhti, muslims have been persecuted since the advent of Islam, and no one suffered more so than our Beloved Prophet. Yet he loved perfume, and took pleasure in all of Allah's blessings.`A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reportedly said, "I used to apply to the Prophet the best scent available" (Muslim). No doubt it pleases Allah when we enjoy His blessings. "Of the favor and mercy of Allah let them rejoice" (Yunus 58).


And advised others to do the same...

Al-Ahwas Al-Jashmi said that the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) saw me wearing a worn out garment and thereupon asked me, “Do you have wealth?” “Yes”, I replied. “What kind of wealth?” asked the Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam). “Allah has given me all kinds of wealth”, I replied. “Since Allah has given you wealth, let Him see the effects of His favor and bounty upon you, for He loves to see the effects of His favor and bounty on His slave”, the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) commented (An-Nisa’i).

Anyone who has an atom of pride in his heart will not enter Paradise.” A man then asked, “What about one who likes to wear a handsome garment and good shoes?” The Prophet (Salla Allahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) replied, “Surely, Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty. Pride is to reject the truth and to view other people with contempt” Muslim


Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Anyone offered rayhan (basil perfume) should not decline it. It is light in weight and fragrant in scent.” Muslim


Smelling good scents has a profound effect on the soul and is recommend in Islam.

It is recommended to use perfume when going to gatherings of people, particularly to the mosque, and most particularly for Friday prayers and for the Eid prayers, as authentically established from the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). Bukhari, Muslim and others


I pray you smell a rose in your lifetime. It's fragrance is the scent of the Prophet's (saw) sweet perspiration (smell it for that reason?), and it's beauty a coolness to our eyes. Don't deny yourself of Allah's blessings ukhti.




:wa:
 
Well, at least in theory it is. It just so happens that in these societies muslims are mistrusted for one reason or another, both rational & irrational.

What have you found that the law (not popular opinion or the preferences of an employer) prevents you from doing that Islam requires of you?

Does this so called law of "freedom of religion" allow Muslims to establish their own court system (aka shari'ah courts) to which they can refer for Islamic jurisdiction rulings on issues (i.e., marriage, divorce, child custody, business transactions, owning properties, punishment laws etc.)? And let's not forget that secular laws are forced down our throats which contradict Islamic teachings (i.e., car insurance) and we can't do nothing except submit to them; hence, violation of "freedom of religion".
 
It is my understanding that sharia law would be preferred, but it not actually required to practice Islam.

With regard to car insurance, I was not aware that the purchase of insurance was forbidden by the tenets of Islam. If it is, why do Muslims go ahead and submit to the laws of men rather than the laws of Allah?

Peace Gene,

We are also required to live by the law of the land in which we live. If we can not live by the laws we are obligated to leave if possible. If for financial reasons we can not leave we are obligated to see if we can help get the law changed. If we can not do either, we are not willingly committing as sin.

Some things we can do to legally not have to buy automobile insurance:

If it is not necessary, do not drive or own an automobile.

Have enough money on hand to give proof of financial responsibility, without need of insurance.

Unfortunately neither of those are possible for most of us.

So most of us living here in the USA are obligated to buy insurance. However, there is no sin upon us because it is out of necessity and not choice. Sort of like if we were isolated in a region with no halal food, we are permitted to eat enough haram food to sustain life, if that is the only way we can survive. Although even under those conditions most will hold off from eating for as long as possible.
 
why do Muslims go ahead and submit to the laws of men rather than the laws of Allah?

There is an old Arabic saying "If you can't kill them, kiss them" (loosely meaning to comply to a too powerful oppressor until they can be overcome) and an old Chinese one "the grass can be stronger than the tree, it can bend in the wind".
 
Woodrow, it seems to me then, based on your explanation, that the purchase of insurance is in fact NOT forbidden in Islam, and thus the requiring of it does not prevent a Muslim the free exercise of his/her religion. For, while the purchase of insurance might be a sin in certain circumstances, as you describe it, it is not a sin in all circumstances. Therefore it is not universally forbidden.

Furthermore, while driving a car is an acknowledged convenience, it is just that, a convenience, not a right. And the Muslim who feels that his faith will not allow him to have insurance is also under no compulsion (other than that which he puts on himself to fit into the society in which he lives) to operate a car. Therefore there is no compulsion to buy insurance unless the person chooses to put themselves in the position in which it is required. So, I don't see how the requirement of insurance prevents the free exercise of religion. It only prevents the easy and convenient exercise of religion. Somehow, I think that one could have these same laws with respect to requiring insurance to drive a car in 1900 and few people would have seen that as an imposition. It is only because Muslims, like other modern people, have become accustomed to the use of the automobile that it is even an issue.

Then, I also recall that Islam understands that life is a test. I don't see these as rules that prevent the free exercise of Islam. It seem their actual role is to make it appear more expedient to ignore the demands of Islam and thus serve as just another part the test of life that is following the way of Islam.

There is no such thing, and there shouldn't be any such thing, as 'freedom of religion' in any absolute sense. This limit makes sense because someone could come out with a new religion that says to kill all people who have blue eyes and blond hair which is contrary to the state's overall goal which is to give freedom to everyone to pursue things which they think will increase the quality of their lives . That overall freedom, 'the meta-freedom', overrides individual freedom. Having said that, Muslims and most other religions are free to practice whatever they want so long as they don't impede on that meta-freedom. Things like Shariah Law are not obviously consistent with the goal of the state.
 
Sorry sister but why do you insult and warn others for stating their opinions? If you do not want responses then why not just write articles and publish them online? Even then how can you stop others discussing the articles amongst themselves? This is not an insult, its just what people like to do with something interesting they read.

You have said yourself that you are not a scholar and so what you write is only your opinion. Countries can be said to be collapsing at any time until they collapse. Just as you can say someone is dying at any time before they die. It is all subjective. Therefore why can't sister harb have her own opinion or outlook on life? There is always death and destruction but sometimes people look to the positives, see what they are blessed with, "smell the roses", and are thankful. Some people don't. It is up to the person.

Ramadan Mubarak to all.

Considering that the moderators are happy to delete my posts and not those that derail threads and have already been answered, I ask them not to delete any further posts. I’ve only come back to check a personal message, its shameful that people are showing little intelligence after everything as clearly been explained.

1. No one has refuted my threads, also see “I am not going to talk to talk to you”

2. Again they have not discussed any of the points.

3. My opinion????? Since when is it inIslamic to say that all around you will end?? That is what Allah has taught us, You talk as a non-Muslims, were by they make excuses not to be worried.
If you say it is just an opinion-the simply refute the “Collapse of these countries” thread.

4. Opinion on life from her is not applicable in my threads as it is not discussing the situation at hand, when I am talking about facing the Dajjal, what is the point of someone talking about how they are living now?? Just as unbelievers do to hold onto the life of this world. , again she is NOT refuting anything, she is talking about living in this world as you see now. See “I am not going to talk to you”.

:bump1:

Do not derail this thread create your own.
 
You should care where she is from as, unlike you, she knows first hand the suffering of the Palestinian people. Most of us can only imagine as we sit in the comfort of our war-free armchairs typing into a computer protected by a screen. She has plenty to say, but because it doesn't agree with your post, you dismiss her as pathetic. If someone who has lived through and saw the suffering is able to take the time to appreciate the beauty Allah, swt, created by smelling the fragrance of a rose, surely you are not in a position to be critical??



Who exactly gave you this knowledge about people from there not looking towards the Day of Judgement? Were you given the ability to see inside the hearts and minds of all these people? I'm sure many of our suffering brothers and sisters would love the opportunity to live and raise their children as you live and not have to worry about them being slaughtered on a daily basis. Allah, swt, decides what courses our lives take, not you or me. You say you are willing to give it all up, so why haven't you? You live as Allah, swt, determined...are you questioning that or do you not appreciate what He has ordained for you? Every Muslim is fully aware of the Day of Judgement and when that day comes, you will not be standing there saying "I told you so". You, as all of us will be answering for our own inequities.



All Muslims, regardless of the country where they reside, will face Judgement Day regardless of the nice area and blessings bestowed upon them. Alhamdulillah, Muslims live in every country in the world as it is meant to be.



Again, I have to ask how you obtained this information and your statistics? You have absolutely no way of knowing the hearts and minds of 5.5 billion people, let alone the people on this forum. Islam requires proof to back our words and to not speak without knowledge, so I would really appreciate the source you used to compile this information.



Is is very sad for me to see that you do not appreciate all the beauty Allah, swt, has created for us. If we weren't meant to smell the beautiful fragrance of a flower, why would He have bothered to give each one a distinct odor? Allah, swt, created many things for us to enjoy and appreciate, perhaps as a reminder to thank Him for all things...good and bad. Only He knows the reasons why He ordained one thing for you and another for me and something different for our suffering brothers and sisters all over the world. It is not for you to make that determination sister. We can appreciate all His creations while praying for and doing what we can for the suffering people.



I didn't read where anyone said that if you live in comfort you could not have empathy for those that do not. The sister made a very valid point by telling you she has FIRST hand knowledge about the situation where you do not. Perhaps it would be of benefit to you to visit Palestine and leave all your comforts at home so you too can obtain first hand knowledge, if you have not already done so. You simply can't force your opinions on other people or dismiss them as pathetic because they don't share your ideas.

You can't start a thread and scream it's been derailed because people are going to disagree or be upset by what you type. If you are going to speak the way you do, you have to accept the consequences, both good and bad. Some of your posts contain some valid points, but they get lost by your choice of communication. That's your choice. With freedom of speech comes responsibility and you have to accept that.

I know you believe you don't have to pray for patience, but as your sister in faith, I will pray for you as I want only the best of heart, health and mind for my Muslim family.

May you, and all Muslims, be blessed abundantly this Ramadan and may Allah, swt, accept our fasts. Ameen

1. What has she been critical of any of my threads??? Just derailing them. Already answered in “I am not going to talk to you”.
-I don’t see her going through any other threads and saying to someone not to talk about gardening etc, My posts are talking about heeding the signs of the Day of Judgement, what is the point of coming in them and saying not to talk about it and instead live in this world as one who holds onto the life of this world???
-Why are you talking as a Christian? Do you think we go through trials for the life of this world??? No. We are here for the time being. First hand experience hasn’t helped her to repect things Islamically, she has persistently derailed threads, that is way of Devils when there is Islamic knowledge they don’t want people to learn and get people to think about other matters, is not derailing hindering what my threads are for??? If she really cared, she would have left them alone, if that is not something she wants to read, then there is no need to say so.

-again talking as a Westerner hearts and minds rubbish, even a religious person was able to recognise the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him before he was providing the message from Allah.
There are over 6 billion people in this world, and they say there is a billion people who are Muslims, no doubt that majority think for the life of this world, and I quoted 5.5 billion but that is over and if you disaagree with this then say it on the Day of Judgemnet.
Again talking as a westerner, asking if I given it up, and flinging anything as it does not apply,
1. Why quote that they worry about being killed on a daily basis, when have I said I am going to sit here happily carrying on?? Also as already confirmed, I am well aware that there are plenty of Palestinaians if they had my life, they would think about carrying on with life. They certainly would not have spent their life as mine and thinking of countries coming to an end, if they can’t do it in a war zone what chance do they have to do it in peace time.
2. I am leaving the UK, also I am being productive, the countries are collapsing, I certainly would not be telling people again and again, for months, I already knew before I joined the internet that people won’t take it seriously, what are you going to accuse me of now, of knowing “hearts and minds” of people. People will be forced to take it seriously.
Again talking as a Christian, how embarrassing, what do people like you don’t understand?? Read “ I am not going to talk to you..” Also the Major signs of they Day of Judgement threads covers it too, that you won’t be able to live as you are today, s. I would rather DIE THEN BE LIKE YOU.

WHY WOULD I NEED TO GO TO PALESTINE?? I AM NOT THE ONE HOLDING ON TO THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD, AGAIN QUOTING ANYTHING AS WESTERNERS DO, YOUR NOT MAKING ANY SENSE, HOW WOULD I CHANGE IF I WENT THERE?/ I WOULD NOT, AS I HAVE ALREADY BEEN HEEDING THE SIGNS OF THEY DAY OF JUDGMENET AND DON’T TALK ABOUT THEM LIKE IF THEY ARE NOT GOING TO RECEIVE ANY CRITISICIAM WHICH THEY ENJOY. THEY HAVEN’T FOUGHT A WAR PROPERLY, AND EVEN ARAFAT SAID THEY ARE ONLY WINNING BY HAVING CHILDREN, SO WHEN DID ALLAH SAY THAT IS THE WAY TO FIGHT?? EVEN THEY ARE MAKING IT ACCEPTABLE TO THEIR CHILDREN TO LOOK FOR OTHERS TO HELP THEM, WHEN YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, AND PUSH ON UNTIL YOU CANNOT FIGHT ANYMORE, NOT AS THE PEOPLE WHO USED TO REFUSE TO FIGHT IN THE PAST, WHY DO THEY SMOKE CIGARETTES ETC? YOU SAY THEY HAVE MORE COMFORT THEN ME, WELL THEN SPEAK OF IT ON THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.


GOOD JOB I AM NOT IN PALESTINE, I WOULD ONLY FOLLOW AFTER PEOPLE WHO LOOK TOWARDS THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT MORE THEN ME, FRANKLY HOW THE HAVE BEEN IS AN EMBARASSEMENT AND IT WOULD BE UNACCEPTABLE TO PEOPLE IN THE PAST. I AM MUSLIM, A SERVANT OF ALLAH NOT FOR TO BE LED BY THE STUPIDITY OF PEOPLE. ALSO AGAIN THE WAY I AM LIVING IN THIS WORLD IT WOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO HOW I AM AS A PERSON IF I WAS IN PALESTINE AT LEAST I WOULDN'T LOOK FOR THE LIFE OF THIS WORLD, EVEN AFTER OTHERS SEEING SO MUCH THEY STILL TALKING ABOUT LIVING IN THIS WORLD IN THIS DAY AND AGE THANK ALLAH THAT ALL THESE COUNTRIES ARE FINISHING RIGHT NOW. SO I DON'T HAVE TO HEAR PEOPLE SAY THEY ARE GOING TO LIVE AS THEY HAVE DONE BEFORE ETC. GET WITH THE TIMES!!!!!!!


All my threads have been derailed, and you just have, what have you or others disagreeing with me, discussed about my threads?? None.
Your prayers to me don’t count, as you talk as as a Chrisitan where they say things are deemed acceptable in society when you yourself have not even refuted the threads that I have written and you join those who don’t care for knowledge.
See you on the Day of Judgement, and by the time you get there, prayer and read the Quran all over again.

Also do not derail this thread, create your own.

:wa:


You are using one situation for another, Simply
1. No one will be talking of smelling the roses when there are no countries and banks etc
2. When the Dajjal arrives
3. When the Gog and Magog arrive
4. When people are fleeing from the fires of Yemen

So you AS OTHERS ARE TYPICALLY SET INTO LIVING AS YOU ARE NOW, WITH LITTLE THOUGHT OF WHAT IS TO COME, WHICH IF YOU TOOK IT SERIOUSLY THEN YOU WOULD NOT BE COMPLAINING.

Why talk to me about pride??? When I have simply written threads to share information and people are derailing them even saying they are my opinion and even they have asked who am I to talk about Islam, when they COULD NOT REFUTE MY THREADS. It’s my replies that they complain about to their post derailements, well they are not doing an Islamic thing by preventing knowledge wereby threads have even be closed and deleted because of them.

Your stupid prayer will not be answered, as you have not incorporated what I am talking about, and talking about me in the context of living in this country as if nothing is going to happen.

Frankly how dare you even suggest to pray for that, when I have written something better heeding the signs of the Day of Judgement and you talk about enjoying oneself in this world.

If anyone talks about roses again, it maybe that they WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SMELL THEM IN PARADISE.

Also do not derail this thread create your own.
