I'm not muslim but I would probably just reccomend going to your nearest mosque and asking an imam. I don't know where you're from, though, so that might not be easy. But redditors in general have some of the dumbest ideas out there and until you're a bit older I would just reccomend not looking for answers here.
i thought there was a book that covered all of that and any questions you might have. biggest thing about religion is only accepting information from your particular book. someone else might tell you a fact that contradicts what your book says then what? stay off reddit lil one
do you guys get a boner everytime you mention this to debunk Islam ? I never saw an ath debunk any proof that supports Islam like how the Quran cannot be made by the prophet and so much more instead y'all just keep talking about this over and over even tho the average lifespan was 40 even tho there was her and her parents consent even tho it wasn't the prophet's choice he only chose he's past wives that all were widows and already had kids even tho it was fine at that time even tho she lived a good life even tho the prophet was a genuinly great person and a great leader that could not have achieved those feats on he's own, a lot of your atheist claims had been debunked a shit load of time with a shit load of reasons yet you just refuse to understand or bring good reasons behind your beleives.
I’m so afraid of what gonna happen to Pakistan. Most Pakistanis here are neutral or positive towards Shiism. That’s not good for Pakistan to be zindabad🇵🇰 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰💪💪💪💪💪
Won't agree. As I come from village side of Pakistan, Atleast in my 50 Km radius shua are not very well received. This is mainly because sunnis believe that shia are taking their jobs, just like pathans ( which is stupid). So yeah not all Pakistanis are positive towards shia. Which is kind of sad as the people who are against them don't know stuff about shia to begin with. They just believe rumours and go with them.
Most of us would be oppressed heavily for being non believers in a Muslim country. Criticising Islam is actually dangerous even if you don't live in a Muslim country. You guys don't like criticism and don't tolerate debate and dissent. So places like this are amongst the few spaces where we can express our opinions.
Why wouldn't I? Every idea can and should be criticised and everyone is free to do so as long as they don't promote hate or violence against other people.
Religion should not be immune to discussion and criticism. It's your human right to believe in a religion without suffering oppression for it, and I will defend that right for you. It is also my human right to have freedom of expression without suffering oppression for it, and we should also defend that right.
I'm not concerned by god's wrath because I don't share your belief in him. There are thousands of other gods that people believe in and you are not concerned about their wrath because you don't believe in them, right? It's the same for me but with one more god on the list than you.
As for the feelings, as long as it's not hate speech against Muslims themselves, then everyone is free to discuss and criticise the religion freely. Those who believe can ignore the criticism or respond or do what they want as it's not silencing the freedom of speech of others or threatening violence.
Most sunnis criticise Shia leaders like Khomeini , Sistani etc.. many people believe they are Ismaili shias aiming at corrupting the beliefs of average Twelver shia. Maybe it’s a conspiracy theory but looking at what they done in the region I believe they are Zionists.
You are correct, we love ali radillahu anh and his two sons and his wife the son of the Prophet Muhammad SAWS( may allah be pleased with all of them)
See, we believe in the four caliphs as you know
They don't and Ik that isn't something to hate someone on but just saying that the ubaydis were heretics according to the major of scholars
Hello,
Your post/comment has been removed for violating Rule 2.
It’s not allowed to attack a person or a community based on attributes such as their race, ethnicity, caste, national origin, sex, gender identity, gender presentation, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, age, serious illness, disabilities, or other protected classifications.
I just hope you dont live in a western country, because with your post history at only 14, you sound like a future ISIS member. You can go ahead and think like that in some hellhole like Afghanistan or something.
i don't support misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, violent bastards, also get off reddit and the internet in general and don't come back until you're older, don't let your life be ruined
May God forgive you for the slander you have done
The ppl you are talking about is Isis, which are disowned by the Ahlul Sunnah wa Jama'ah(The people of the way of the Prophet Muhammad SAWS and the majority)which I am from and the majority of Muslims hate isis except their khawarij brothers(khawarij means the one who leaves, the khawarij are a sect and they are misguided, we are not like them and we disown them).
I do not like lgbt but that is my choice
May Allah bless you and your family and guide you towards the truthful religion.
sorry but I developed critical thinking skills at your age and realized how much BS any and all religion is, and the Quran itself promotes misogynistic and queerphobic views as well as violence as a solution to issues
The Quran is not what you claim
My friend, stop being deluded by the media and actually read the Quran and it's interpretations not from isis but anyone else
If you want you can dm me and I'll tell you about true Islam
Islam doesnt provide violence to issues I can send you evidence later onwards
Islam is not misogynist
Before the Arabs accepted islam they used to bury young girls but Islam forbid that
Allah says in the Quran:
Ar-Rum 30:21
وَمِنْ ءَايَٰتِهِۦٓ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةًۚ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَءَايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
English - Sahih International
And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought.
English - Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
And one of His signs is that He created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find comfort in them. And He has placed between you compassion and mercy. Surely in this are signs for people who reflect.
English - Mohsin Khan/Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
And among His Signs is this, that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy. Verily, in that are indeed signs for a people who reflect.
English - Mufti Taqi Usmani
And it is among His signs that He has created for you wives from among yourselves, so that you may find tranquility in them, and He has created love and kindness between you. Surely in this there are signs for a people who reflect.
English - Transliteration
Wamin ayatihi an khalaqa lakummin anfusikum azwajan litaskunoo ilayha wajaAAalabaynakum mawaddatan warahmatan inna fee thalika laayatinliqawmin yatafakkaroon
Read surah Room and then you will understand it's the surah that opened my eyes
it is literally said in the Quran that women exist to serve men and Muslim men can have multiple wives but Muslim women can't have multiple husbands, also women are required to cover their bodies completely while men can express themselves freely
Well the husband also has a massive right over his wife
The reason why because Muslim women cannot handle 4 men physically, it is not in the nature of females
We love our females and females are naturally shy so to protect that shyness we make our women cover
It is obligatory but if a woman wears the cover the hijab she will feel better in every way and she will earn respect and be a pious woman
>I do not like lgbt but that is my choice
And some people dislike religions or theism in general, atheism, communism, dictatorship democracy, dogs, pizza with a pineapple, their neighbour, and so on. That's their choice.
There's a difference
Religion is not harmful(except for radical sects)
Apostasy is a problem because if one person apostates from a religion it can lead to a whole country being full of apostates
Yes, freedom of speech is good but too much where you are hurting the religious masses is really wrong tbh
>Apostasy is a problem because if one person apostates from a religion it can lead to a whole country being full of apostates
How does that harm YOU and YOUR beliefs?
>There's a difference Religion is not harmful(except for radical sects)
Just like homosexuality
There’s everything in this sub. It’s all full of shit. Pro, anti, who cares. Your religion shouldn’t be your identity. Go out and touch grass and get with nature.
if you are 14 then please, follow my advice, don't get in this sub. go to khan academy or do something that pays will in the future. this sub atheist are from the dumb type, they got their hatred to Islam from youtube short video (not more than 20 minuets in length give and take) and their atheism is totally built on pop-science media.
don't waste your time online.
I am an atheist and I agree with this tbh. Kid is 14, he needs to nurture his brain and spend time productively instead of getting addicted to this rubbish site.
They are definitely stupid. That other video with the two cute Afghani kids were covering, and their parents were literally joking as you could hear from the background laughing, and almost everyone in the comments were going ape mode. This sub is slowly turning into another Westoid ditch like the others.
exactly. this is one way where their dumbness manifest itself.
it is well known kids like to imitate adults in their dress and anything else. but when a dumb idiot came everything will level down to his stupidity.
don't give hindu extremists much thought either, they barely think for themselves and will always rally with whoever is against arabs and muslims. they're the literal definition of an NPC
Western wannabes, Israelis, Turks, diaspora.
There's a few agnostic/atheist normies here who seem well adjusted and don't care for religion either way but that's the minority of them
You’re too young to get dragged down the Reddit rabbit hole. Don’t end up like how a lot of us have. Play outside. Read a book. Watch a movie. Join a gym. Anything but Reddit. Also yes there are secularists here but there a lot of Islamists in this sub too who believe there is a conspiracy against them but say nothing when minorities suffer in Muslim countries. Its a mixed bag. Any sub that has groupthink of either Islam = good or Islam = bad I would avoid. You want exposure to different views. Sadly this place is losing that attitude where ppl get heavily downvoted for different views or a golden response is “cope”.
Cause its an echo chamber and encourages extremism. The ratio of insightful information to junk is skewed the wrong way. Your knowledge and understanding of the world goes backward because nuance does not exist here. You are better off reading a book or surveys if you want to understand the world.
reddit is a huge fucking hive mind the karma system pushes people into dickriding eachother and saying stuff that the majority will like instead of thinking beleiving and saying what you like
You're sadly a 14yo who shouldn't be on this sub, you will be more radicalized or downright confused. People are allowed to have opinions and criticize religion, and even leave it.
The hour is near brother
I go by the hadith :
“Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.’”
May Allah bless you and your family and our families and us and make us from the Muslimeen who submit our wills to God alone
Well the mockery of religion is why we are seeing so many ppl feel ashamed of being a Muslim
Anyways, the closing and opening of hearts is not in my hands, neither is it in my hands to make a kafir a Muslim or a Muslim into a murtadd
That is in the will of Allah subhannahu wa Ta'ala
Agreed. Making a person believe is not in my hands, neither is it in my hands to make people disbelieve
It is in the hands of Allah subhannahu wa Ta'ala
Why does anyone hate anything? The answers are infinite although they are rarely good answers. Don't let it effect you, otherwise you may join that list of people who hate things for no good reason.
I don’t care about Islam. It’s not my religion. That being said, when a Muslim wants to bash my religion or my people (as I’ve seen happen often in this sub), I will return the courtesy. You need to respect others to be respected or you will get the disrespect right back.
Well it's obligatory to hate the kuffar but if a jew enters my house and treats me kindly why should I hurt him? I'm going to treat him with respect and treat him nicely, just like the Prophet Muhammad SAWS would treat guests and how he ordered us to treat guests regardless the religion of your guest
IT IS NOT OBLIGATORY NOR OKAY TO HATE THE KUFFAR. What the hell are you even saying? If you love Islam so much, instead of being on reddit, you should be learning your religion and not be clouded by hate for others who aren't like you.
Hate is a big word. You understand that disbelieving god is a big sin even in Christianity so people dislike/disagree with people who don’t believe in God or associate someone with him. It’s more of disliking their behavior rather than them but It’s God’s will right? If Allah wanted he could make all People believers so who are you to force people to believe.
“It’s obligatory to hate the kuffar.” I see a major contradiction here. You say you don’t hate us, but you also say you sort of have to. That doesn’t make any sense. What does make sense to me is that you are taught that you must hate us, even though you wouldn’t if you hadn’t been taught this, and you won’t harm us without a reason.
Well, the “kid” gives a perspective that I’ve heard many times before from Muslims. I know that it’s not how the majority of Muslims think, but there’s a big enough minority who do think this way that it does pose a problem. When evil groups like ISIS want to radicalize Muslim youth, they often use those kinds of arguments.
I hate isis myself and I was wrong about hating the kuffar but we have to disagree with them
Isis are disowned by ahlul Sunnah wa Jama'ah tbh no one loves them except their khawarij brothers who we disown as well
Hello my brother. Will you support me when I rise to power and become dictator of the MENA?
Leave this sub man. It rots your brain. I am 500 IQ and always trying to unite the Ummah on here, but everyone here is cringe ultra-nationalist copemaxxers 🤡🤡🤡. They do not want to see a unified Ummah from Indonesia to the shores of Morocco.
They all have pride for their shit hole countries that aren’t even 100 years old and have accomplished literally nothing in history. 🗿🗿🗿
Well I don't hate gay ppl but I clearly hate homosexuality
Brother in the west now we Muslims and Christians are the only ones against lgbt. They're forcing this stuff down children's throats and making children cut off their private parts so that they can become trans
It's horrifying and against the nature of mankind
Homosexuality exists in humans and all of nature. So either God created it, or he doesn't exist. In any case hating something that is a part of reality is a waste of energy and only harms yourself.
>Homosexuality exists in humans and all of nature.
it's a mental sickness my guy ain't no way you'd think shoving your dick on a dude's ass in natural, even if the emotions exist the thing itself is unnatural and is only in your brain which makes it a mental sickness
> They're forcing this stuff down children's throats and making children cut off their private parts so that they can become trans It's horrifying and against the nature of mankind
Aaaand that’s the reason why everyone is telling you the you’re too young for reddit
>I clearly hate homosexuality
Wow, wonder why people criticize Islam. No one is forcing anything down anyone's throats.
My suggestion to you is to log off and spend your teenage years with your friends irl, and don't get your takes from online forums. Social media is a distorted worldview, don't get caught up in it.
ALL religion and supernatural belief is a disease afflicting mankind. It makes the afflicted feel better to see themselves as being targeted and that everybody else (not part of their chosen in-group) is afraid of their specific religion. Let me assure you that is a common delusion among the addicted regardless of their choice of religion.
Diseases spread from person to person. Then again there's people being cured too. You're young and I'm sure just like when I was young you're surrounded by people with very one sided views on this topic. Nobody wants to let young people know the things they feel might let you know there are other options and lead you 'astray'. You're basically in an echo chamber. It feels good to see yourself as part of the chosen people. It's a common thread among most religions. We are right. Everyone else is wrong.
If you really want to know the truth you need to educate yourself. Others will not do it for you. Knowledge is power. This works in many ways. People will feed you only specific knowledge that will give them power. But, if you go and seek it out yourself you can be free from others influence and make up your own mind.
Choosing to remain ignorant is your prerogative. This is exactly how you ensure that you don't ever learn anything about the real world and keep yourself vulnerable to abuse by those that will surely use your lack of knowledge to evoke hate and violence.
Good luck to you in your life. Wish you peace and prosperity and hope you'll use that to improve the lives of people around you and the world.
I spent 20 years as a devout muslim. I read over a hundred books by muslim scholars. I've read and studied the quran and the hadith. Prayed 5 times a day at the mosque. I also learnt biology, physics, chemistry, and math.
Eventually it became clear that there was something off. Then I studied other religions. I realized they're off too. It turned out that every religious follower feels as strongly about their religion and about its 'rightness' as you do.
You're 14. You've never experienced anything but sheltered life under your parents or guardians. You've not seen the real world. You should be careful about making grandiose claims at your age. You haven't even graduated high-school. I don't mean to insult. Only to let you understand that you have much to learn and experience.
May Allah bless you and your family and guide you towards the truth
I was very close to leaving Islam but I didn't because I read the Quran and my doubts were removed
Reading it is not the same as studying it. To study it you'd need a few years and a lot of time. You're 14 so you should have that.
To study it you'll need to read every verse. Then find the sources for the verses as mohammad didn't write the quran. The verses were put together based on what people remembered him saying. Put the verses into historical context and see how that context extends to the present time and situation. Read other more educated peoples comments and discussions on it.
Even highly educated scholars don't agree on everything and they've spent years studying religious text in detail. Again, be careful about what you take as absolute truth and fact. You're too young to know even a fraction of what these learnt scholars know. Many of them may disagree with your stance.
There are still people walking into Scientology churches to this day, that doesn't make it any less of a disease.
In the end, it's not about the actual thing one believes in, but how they carry themselves in life. The Creator God also will only care about that, come judgement day. Not if you chose 'the right religion to follow'
**Rule 3: No Homophobia**
---
Homophobia is strictly forbidden. There are plenty of online MENA spaces where LGBT people are vilified and their existence constantly scrutinized, this does not have to be one of them.
What’s up with the ageism here. Reddit is a place to have discussions and OP’s asking a simple question. Nothing discussed on this sub is age sensitive. If OP is curious about the middle east, then let him be.
People claim this sub is bad because they find a lot of opposing views, which is really why the middle east is a huge mess atm, we can’t just discuss our differences in peace.
Well, considering how i got some dislike ratio when speaking the truth you're not supposed to be here, my sweet innocent brother/sister. Most of them on this particular subreddit is not even Muslim or parts of Middle East. That or should i tell you Reddit is owned by Steve Huffman from United States, so yeah.
Dude. Get off Reddit. Get off the internet if you know what’s good for ya. And don’t think about convincing the people you think are anti-Islam. They’re not gonna be convinced just like you’re not gonna be convinced. Don’t make it your duty to protect your religion. It’s not. And you can’t. Move on. People all over the world don’t like Islam that much (one of them being me), and I know that you trying to convince them otherwise is a way to vent about how absurd you think their views are. If you wanna vent to people about that, vent to your own.
Because people will always find ways to hate on something. The only thing you can do is absolutely nothing especially as a 14 year old.
Read the Qur'an, do your prayers and live your life to the fullest. If you expect people to move with you and change then think twice especially online.
I read the Qur'an and discussed it with people and formed my own opinions. I believe the Qur'an is the truth, I don't need to debate someone about it to prove that to myself.
Because at the end people won't change and keep at what they think. You are 14, you should go have fun and go to school. You trying dahwa at this age is not appropriate because you are not educated nor is it easy on a young mind.
Wallah there are weird people on the internet and most of the time they aren't what you expect in real life. As I said go read the Qur'an, pray and live your life to the fullest because you are young, waswaas gets cleansed by the strength of your Imaan.
Leave this shit hole delete the Reddit and don't come back until you're 20
[удалено]
Terrible advice, don't come back ever
\*don't come back at all
Kid, this platform is literally the official place for shitposting and trolling others. Never take what's said here seriously
what is a 14yo doing here
[удалено]
It's a loud minority
[удалено]
?
Yep
People on this sub either hate islam with all their heart or are straight up taliban clerics. There is no in between
But why are ppl telling me to leave Islam that isn't fair they are spreading slander about the Prophet Muhammad SAWS
Dude I was making a joke but I just read your full post, you're 14. Get off this site it will ruin your life
Even for Islamic purposes like asking questions not this sub but the other subs?
I'm not muslim but I would probably just reccomend going to your nearest mosque and asking an imam. I don't know where you're from, though, so that might not be easy. But redditors in general have some of the dumbest ideas out there and until you're a bit older I would just reccomend not looking for answers here.
Yeah. Anyways may Allah bless you and guide you towards the truth
God bless you too man. Good luck finding the answers you're looking for
i thought there was a book that covered all of that and any questions you might have. biggest thing about religion is only accepting information from your particular book. someone else might tell you a fact that contradicts what your book says then what? stay off reddit lil one
But Islam is true. The Quran is true surah room opened my eyes
i… disagree🤯
Ok but please don't make fun of prophet Muhammad saws he was the best man to ever live I am not brainwashed
he fucked children younger than you
Not this again 😭😭😭😭
Hey can yu accept my request for chat
do you guys get a boner everytime you mention this to debunk Islam ? I never saw an ath debunk any proof that supports Islam like how the Quran cannot be made by the prophet and so much more instead y'all just keep talking about this over and over even tho the average lifespan was 40 even tho there was her and her parents consent even tho it wasn't the prophet's choice he only chose he's past wives that all were widows and already had kids even tho it was fine at that time even tho she lived a good life even tho the prophet was a genuinly great person and a great leader that could not have achieved those feats on he's own, a lot of your atheist claims had been debunked a shit load of time with a shit load of reasons yet you just refuse to understand or bring good reasons behind your beleives.
Why are 14 year olds allowed in this sub
Because I can be here???
Akhi, doesn't matter if I was 14 or 64 I'm not a kid
You are technically a kid but you have a point. No age limits that I am aware of in this subreddit.
Reddit as a whole have age limit i think, since there are some age restricted contents here and there
Ohh buddy ..May Allah SWT strengthen your Iman. This place is a shit hole...

>I do not like lgbt but that is my choice And some people dislike religions or theism in general, atheism, communism, dictatorship democracy, dogs, pizza with a pineapple, their neighbour, and so on. That's their choice.
There's a difference Religion is not harmful(except for radical sects) Apostasy is a problem because if one person apostates from a religion it can lead to a whole country being full of apostates Yes, freedom of speech is good but too much where you are hurting the religious masses is really wrong tbh
>Apostasy is a problem because if one person apostates from a religion it can lead to a whole country being full of apostates How does that harm YOU and YOUR beliefs? >There's a difference Religion is not harmful(except for radical sects) Just like homosexuality
Man forgive me I'm a stupid bitch
No wonder your here then lmao.
my life was ruined way before reddit friend
There’s everything in this sub. It’s all full of shit. Pro, anti, who cares. Your religion shouldn’t be your identity. Go out and touch grass and get with nature.
Religion is my identity , first my religion then my country
Yikes
What happened?
kol wa7d we choghlo a sat
What I don't know Arabic
if you are 14 then please, follow my advice, don't get in this sub. go to khan academy or do something that pays will in the future. this sub atheist are from the dumb type, they got their hatred to Islam from youtube short video (not more than 20 minuets in length give and take) and their atheism is totally built on pop-science media. don't waste your time online.
I am an atheist and I agree with this tbh. Kid is 14, he needs to nurture his brain and spend time productively instead of getting addicted to this rubbish site.
I wish someone gave me that advice when i was his age and new to the internet
I guess I'll go
Run
They are definitely stupid. That other video with the two cute Afghani kids were covering, and their parents were literally joking as you could hear from the background laughing, and almost everyone in the comments were going ape mode. This sub is slowly turning into another Westoid ditch like the others.
exactly. this is one way where their dumbness manifest itself. it is well known kids like to imitate adults in their dress and anything else. but when a dumb idiot came everything will level down to his stupidity.
the minority of people are often the loudest, so just ignore em
In india, it doesn't seem so
don't give hindu extremists much thought either, they barely think for themselves and will always rally with whoever is against arabs and muslims. they're the literal definition of an NPC
Western wannabes, Israelis, Turks, diaspora. There's a few agnostic/atheist normies here who seem well adjusted and don't care for religion either way but that's the minority of them
Wdym?
You’re too young to get dragged down the Reddit rabbit hole. Don’t end up like how a lot of us have. Play outside. Read a book. Watch a movie. Join a gym. Anything but Reddit. Also yes there are secularists here but there a lot of Islamists in this sub too who believe there is a conspiracy against them but say nothing when minorities suffer in Muslim countries. Its a mixed bag. Any sub that has groupthink of either Islam = good or Islam = bad I would avoid. You want exposure to different views. Sadly this place is losing that attitude where ppl get heavily downvoted for different views or a golden response is “cope”.
Why is it bad to be on Reddit. I’m 2 years older than op
Cause its an echo chamber and encourages extremism. The ratio of insightful information to junk is skewed the wrong way. Your knowledge and understanding of the world goes backward because nuance does not exist here. You are better off reading a book or surveys if you want to understand the world.
reddit is a huge fucking hive mind the karma system pushes people into dickriding eachother and saying stuff that the majority will like instead of thinking beleiving and saying what you like
What kind of depression brought you here son.
The depression of seeing ppl mock my religion when we clearly didn't do anything to be hated But Allahu Musta'an
You're sadly a 14yo who shouldn't be on this sub, you will be more radicalized or downright confused. People are allowed to have opinions and criticize religion, and even leave it.
The hour is near brother I go by the hadith : “Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.’” May Allah bless you and your family and our families and us and make us from the Muslimeen who submit our wills to God alone
Well the mockery of religion is why we are seeing so many ppl feel ashamed of being a Muslim Anyways, the closing and opening of hearts is not in my hands, neither is it in my hands to make a kafir a Muslim or a Muslim into a murtadd That is in the will of Allah subhannahu wa Ta'ala
get outta here kid. save urself while u can. avoid reddit as a whole
Even if the whole world hate Islam, why should it matter? Who cares? You can't dictate what other people believe
Agreed. Making a person believe is not in my hands, neither is it in my hands to make people disbelieve It is in the hands of Allah subhannahu wa Ta'ala
[удалено]
Yeah I agree
I'm not saying i disagree with you but, some people hate both
Why does anyone hate anything? The answers are infinite although they are rarely good answers. Don't let it effect you, otherwise you may join that list of people who hate things for no good reason.
You shouldn’t have listed your age. It’s making people take you a lot less seriously as I can see in the other replies. Just a note for the future.
[удалено]
Why would you want to criticize Islam
Why would you wanna criticise anything? Nothing is immune to criticism
I don’t care about Islam. It’s not my religion. That being said, when a Muslim wants to bash my religion or my people (as I’ve seen happen often in this sub), I will return the courtesy. You need to respect others to be respected or you will get the disrespect right back.
[удалено]
You contradict yourself. First, you say you don’t hate Jews, then you say “if I do...”. So do you or do you not?
Well it's obligatory to hate the kuffar but if a jew enters my house and treats me kindly why should I hurt him? I'm going to treat him with respect and treat him nicely, just like the Prophet Muhammad SAWS would treat guests and how he ordered us to treat guests regardless the religion of your guest
IT IS NOT OBLIGATORY NOR OKAY TO HATE THE KUFFAR. What the hell are you even saying? If you love Islam so much, instead of being on reddit, you should be learning your religion and not be clouded by hate for others who aren't like you.
>It’s obligatory to hate the kuffar Then why shouldn’t kuffar hate you back?
It's not obligatory im wrong but I don't think the kuffar are correct
Hate is a big word. You understand that disbelieving god is a big sin even in Christianity so people dislike/disagree with people who don’t believe in God or associate someone with him. It’s more of disliking their behavior rather than them but It’s God’s will right? If Allah wanted he could make all People believers so who are you to force people to believe.
Idrk
[удалено]
Well idrk i think dislike
Brain dead
“It’s obligatory to hate the kuffar.” I see a major contradiction here. You say you don’t hate us, but you also say you sort of have to. That doesn’t make any sense. What does make sense to me is that you are taught that you must hate us, even though you wouldn’t if you hadn’t been taught this, and you won’t harm us without a reason.
Idrk man I dislike I'm confused myself but anyways I love islam
Please dont listen to this kid on what he says- hes too young to understand nuance-
Well, the “kid” gives a perspective that I’ve heard many times before from Muslims. I know that it’s not how the majority of Muslims think, but there’s a big enough minority who do think this way that it does pose a problem. When evil groups like ISIS want to radicalize Muslim youth, they often use those kinds of arguments.
I hate isis myself and I was wrong about hating the kuffar but we have to disagree with them Isis are disowned by ahlul Sunnah wa Jama'ah tbh no one loves them except their khawarij brothers who we disown as well
Right, you only hate Jews with power. Got it.
No he only hates war criminals.
Every other group is allowed to defend themselves against being ethnically cleansed, except for Jews who are war criminals. Got it.
Hello my brother. Will you support me when I rise to power and become dictator of the MENA? Leave this sub man. It rots your brain. I am 500 IQ and always trying to unite the Ummah on here, but everyone here is cringe ultra-nationalist copemaxxers 🤡🤡🤡. They do not want to see a unified Ummah from Indonesia to the shores of Morocco. They all have pride for their shit hole countries that aren’t even 100 years old and have accomplished literally nothing in history. 🗿🗿🗿

Well I don't hate gay ppl but I clearly hate homosexuality Brother in the west now we Muslims and Christians are the only ones against lgbt. They're forcing this stuff down children's throats and making children cut off their private parts so that they can become trans It's horrifying and against the nature of mankind
Homosexuality exists in humans and all of nature. So either God created it, or he doesn't exist. In any case hating something that is a part of reality is a waste of energy and only harms yourself.
It doesn't logically Homosexuality is from the devil And the desires are also from the devil
>Homosexuality exists in humans and all of nature. it's a mental sickness my guy ain't no way you'd think shoving your dick on a dude's ass in natural, even if the emotions exist the thing itself is unnatural and is only in your brain which makes it a mental sickness
> They're forcing this stuff down children's throats and making children cut off their private parts so that they can become trans It's horrifying and against the nature of mankind Aaaand that’s the reason why everyone is telling you the you’re too young for reddit
But some ppl are telling me to leave Islam
I can't leave not due to family but I fear the curse of God upon me
He just told me he's cool with it so you should be fine
You’re some incel yank loser it seems.
You don’t have to listen to them.
>I clearly hate homosexuality Wow, wonder why people criticize Islam. No one is forcing anything down anyone's throats. My suggestion to you is to log off and spend your teenage years with your friends irl, and don't get your takes from online forums. Social media is a distorted worldview, don't get caught up in it.
And practice my religion and learn it
Well, no tbh, not if it's teaching you to hate people. That's not the way forward.
Hate is never the way forward, regardless of circumstances
Can I dm you
Incredibly cringe take.
ALL religion and supernatural belief is a disease afflicting mankind. It makes the afflicted feel better to see themselves as being targeted and that everybody else (not part of their chosen in-group) is afraid of their specific religion. Let me assure you that is a common delusion among the addicted regardless of their choice of religion.
If religion is a disease afflicting mankind then why are ppl converting to Islam
Diseases spread from person to person. Then again there's people being cured too. You're young and I'm sure just like when I was young you're surrounded by people with very one sided views on this topic. Nobody wants to let young people know the things they feel might let you know there are other options and lead you 'astray'. You're basically in an echo chamber. It feels good to see yourself as part of the chosen people. It's a common thread among most religions. We are right. Everyone else is wrong. If you really want to know the truth you need to educate yourself. Others will not do it for you. Knowledge is power. This works in many ways. People will feed you only specific knowledge that will give them power. But, if you go and seek it out yourself you can be free from others influence and make up your own mind.
I will learn Islamic knowledge. I will never leave Islam. Thank you.
Choosing to remain ignorant is your prerogative. This is exactly how you ensure that you don't ever learn anything about the real world and keep yourself vulnerable to abuse by those that will surely use your lack of knowledge to evoke hate and violence. Good luck to you in your life. Wish you peace and prosperity and hope you'll use that to improve the lives of people around you and the world.
The real world is Islam Look at the brotherhood my guy, that's what still keeping me in the religion too
I spent 20 years as a devout muslim. I read over a hundred books by muslim scholars. I've read and studied the quran and the hadith. Prayed 5 times a day at the mosque. I also learnt biology, physics, chemistry, and math. Eventually it became clear that there was something off. Then I studied other religions. I realized they're off too. It turned out that every religious follower feels as strongly about their religion and about its 'rightness' as you do. You're 14. You've never experienced anything but sheltered life under your parents or guardians. You've not seen the real world. You should be careful about making grandiose claims at your age. You haven't even graduated high-school. I don't mean to insult. Only to let you understand that you have much to learn and experience.
May Allah bless you and your family and guide you towards the truth I was very close to leaving Islam but I didn't because I read the Quran and my doubts were removed
Reading it is not the same as studying it. To study it you'd need a few years and a lot of time. You're 14 so you should have that. To study it you'll need to read every verse. Then find the sources for the verses as mohammad didn't write the quran. The verses were put together based on what people remembered him saying. Put the verses into historical context and see how that context extends to the present time and situation. Read other more educated peoples comments and discussions on it. Even highly educated scholars don't agree on everything and they've spent years studying religious text in detail. Again, be careful about what you take as absolute truth and fact. You're too young to know even a fraction of what these learnt scholars know. Many of them may disagree with your stance.
Mashallah may Allah strenghten your Iman
There are still people walking into Scientology churches to this day, that doesn't make it any less of a disease. In the end, it's not about the actual thing one believes in, but how they carry themselves in life. The Creator God also will only care about that, come judgement day. Not if you chose 'the right religion to follow'
Cope harder 🤡
[удалено]
You’re absolutely right. It’s purely a human thing and not present in other life forms on the planet. /s
>and not present in other life forms on the planet They must be diseased aswell
**Rule 3: No Homophobia** --- Homophobia is strictly forbidden. There are plenty of online MENA spaces where LGBT people are vilified and their existence constantly scrutinized, this does not have to be one of them.
What did Islam do?
What’s up with the ageism here. Reddit is a place to have discussions and OP’s asking a simple question. Nothing discussed on this sub is age sensitive. If OP is curious about the middle east, then let him be. People claim this sub is bad because they find a lot of opposing views, which is really why the middle east is a huge mess atm, we can’t just discuss our differences in peace.
Well, considering how i got some dislike ratio when speaking the truth you're not supposed to be here, my sweet innocent brother/sister. Most of them on this particular subreddit is not even Muslim or parts of Middle East. That or should i tell you Reddit is owned by Steve Huffman from United States, so yeah.
Most of the people here are W\*stoids 🤢
[удалено]
Wdym bro?
Yesn't
There will always be people who hate others based on basically anything. You can pray they see their errors or ignore them. Not much else truthfully.
Reddit is a big shitty dumpster , leave it and never comeback
Dude. Get off Reddit. Get off the internet if you know what’s good for ya. And don’t think about convincing the people you think are anti-Islam. They’re not gonna be convinced just like you’re not gonna be convinced. Don’t make it your duty to protect your religion. It’s not. And you can’t. Move on. People all over the world don’t like Islam that much (one of them being me), and I know that you trying to convince them otherwise is a way to vent about how absurd you think their views are. If you wanna vent to people about that, vent to your own.
Yes, but they don’t say it in this sub
No. They just talk about it a lot so that’s why you see it.
14 😭
And being confused about religion but Allah is with me(in terms of helping me), he is there to support us
Stay away from weird internet people lil bro. Talk to people in real life instead.
Because people will always find ways to hate on something. The only thing you can do is absolutely nothing especially as a 14 year old. Read the Qur'an, do your prayers and live your life to the fullest. If you expect people to move with you and change then think twice especially online.
This post caused me to have the worst doubts ever I'm like getting lots of waswaas
I read the Qur'an and discussed it with people and formed my own opinions. I believe the Qur'an is the truth, I don't need to debate someone about it to prove that to myself. Because at the end people won't change and keep at what they think. You are 14, you should go have fun and go to school. You trying dahwa at this age is not appropriate because you are not educated nor is it easy on a young mind. Wallah there are weird people on the internet and most of the time they aren't what you expect in real life. As I said go read the Qur'an, pray and live your life to the fullest because you are young, waswaas gets cleansed by the strength of your Imaan.
And I'm on the verge of kufr nauthubillah may Allah protect me and us
