Greetings and peace be with you AabiruSabeel;

I would like to thank all the mods for running a good forum, quality counts for a lot.

I have had one problem, some while ago, I tried to log in using a second computer, but had forgotten my password. I followed the link for forgotten password, but I could still not log on. Has anyone else had this problem?

Blessings and thanks

Eric

Yes, I had. It could be due to some very low internet. You can wait for few minutes or 1h, then try again.Thats how I did, and it worked.

Free speech would help.

This forum needs to change

Why should I spend time writing a thoughtful post if my effort may go to waste because the post is censored?

There is nothing wrong with this forum.

It is an Islamic forum.

You cannot expect any nonsense against Islam here under the ridiculous pretext of "freedom of speech"

Kaafirs are so funny. They cry freedom of speech but when it comes to exposing the Jews they have anti-Jewish laws.

So, please spare us your rhetoric which is dipped in double standards and hypocrisy

Brother this is a narrow minded view to take, fschmidt offers an unusual perspective which I and Im sure many others (even if we disagree with it) appreciate.

Living in a bubble wont help us, particularly in this day and age, we need to get different perspectives. Otherwise we wont be able to adapt to the coming challenges.

I think every reason mentioned is an ingredient to the declination of forums.

One of the many reasons I think worth mentioning is that Most people have now realised that amongst the good that can be spread - there is also Fitna in information that can be spread too - Compound that with Ulema warning people about "Google Imams or Mufti Google" a lot of people are now opting to gain knowledge straight from an Imam himself face to face.

Walaikum Asalam

I was like that at first too, but honestly, after multiple years online, I am now an ardent proponent of the position that the internet is, in many ways, better than meeting an Imam face-to-face. The internet has far more resources and doesn't only offer you one side, you have the ability to discover to multiple opinions for yourself and decide which one is the most valid.

Totally agreed - Works for some. Fortunately I have some Imaams around me who explain the Ightilaaf in many topics and not biased - but how many people would have that case ?

Eh? What different perspectives? Are you unsure about the truthfulness of your Diin?
 
I found in another thread, someone decides to leave the forum after sectarian based quarrel with another member. Yes, this is one cause, or maybe main cause, that make Muslim forums left by their members.

I never understand what happen with Muslims. When they start to learn Islam deeper, start trying to be more Islamic, many of them fall into group fanaticism and look down toward other Muslims. This attitude also brought into forum that make them easily insult other Muslims and insult ulama who are not among their group.

That's why I convince myself that I am just ordinary Muslim. So In Shaa Allah, it can prevent me from following their behaviour.

That is a very interesting observation.

I have noticed it as well and have been thinking about it for a while now.

When I knew nothing about Usuul, Fiqh, Aqiidah, and all the different opinions I had nothing but love for all Muslims. I never inquired into their school of thought or their aqiidah. I never even knew about these things.

Then, the more I learned, the more I began to hate people around me. They seemed like very bad people.

Some would argue I learned the evil these people indulge in and hence began to hate them for the Sake of Allaah. I learned about their bid'ah, lies, deception, twisting of facts, personality worship, and what not which lead me to seriously dislike them.

Regardless of what it is, your observation is an interesting one as I have found myself thinking about it as well.

I have followed that thread before I wrote the post above. But I decided to not be involved. I'm just so sad, why my brothers must denounce each other just because something that should not be a reason for conflict?.

Does laughing out loud break wuduu or not, actually is an issue in fiqh that categorized as furuiyah matter, not ushuliyah. And ulama have said, diversity in furuiyah matter is acceptable as long as it has shar'i base. So, if some Muslims believe that laughing out loud break wuduu, while the other believe it doesn’t, both parties have to be willing to tolerate.

I watched you yesterday and I saw your emotion was unstable. Probably you have many problems out there?.

Try to calm down, brother. It’s better if now you take a rest from forum for a while and do dhikr.

:)

It should be clear from this thread that this forum is hopeless. Most people today hate free speech and have no interest in looking for solutions to modern evil. I wish that you or another Muslim here would start another forum based on free speech and creative thinking. Membership would be small, but the content would be high quality.

I take it that you are not to worried about following the authentic Sunnah?

You must teach me this art of judging online if someone is emotionally stable or unstable.

And you need to choose your words carefully. You imply I do not do dhikr. :)
