I’m not even joking. Every day before taraweeh he gives a little 5 minute talk about a verse he read or a story he’s researched.

Yesterday he came out with this. He said that before the non Muslims were open and direct with stopping us practice our religion. Now they are more “covert” so they use “hidden tactics” like stopping you praying Salah.

Bro what 😂😂😂😂

On International Women’s Day, there was a post that went viral on Instagram, about how Islam honors women with hadith, and Quraan verses that prove that.

This is an example of hadith mentioned in the post:

Islam honours Women:

• A mother is a gateway to paradise, a daughter is a path to mercy, and a wife is a garment of love
• "The best of you are those who are best to their women" ~ Prophet Muhammed
• “Whoever has three daughters, cares for them, and is patient with them, will enter Paradise"~ Prophet Muhammed
• "The best of you are those who are best to their wives"~ Prophet Muhammed

Notice how there is a pattern?

All of these are extremely indirect and focus on what men get rewarded when they treat women well.

This is not fitting the context at all, in my opinion.

I have also heard this talk so much whenever the notion of feminism in Islam is brought up, and I just think that it’s the wrong take and wrong arguments.

I’m actually starting to hate this perspective that is completely centered around men.

It emphasizes how women should be submissive and only serve as a way for men to earn more rewards.

But how about we actually start talking about women now?

What do you guys think?

I’m curious.

Netflix just aired a completely unnecessary and racist attack on Dagestanis in their new show Running Point.

The show is about a wealthy family that owns a basketball team, and Kate Hudson’s character, Isla Gordon, is put in charge of running it.

The scene in question happens in episode six, where a basketball podcaster named Sean Murphy, who has a history of being critical of Isla, is in the middle of recording an interview.

At this point in the story, he has just revealed something that makes it clear he got inside information from someone who was trying to create tension between Isla and her star player.

Furious, she storms into his studio and interrupts him, demanding to know who leaked the information.

When Sean reminds her that he’s in the middle of an interview, she snaps back with, “Just tell whatever wife-beating Dagestani MMA fighter they can wait.”

What makes this line so outrageous is that it comes completely out of nowhere.

This is a show about basketball.

The podcast is about basketball. The audience watching the podcast within the show would be basketball fans.

There is absolutely no connection to MMA, let alone Dagestani fighters.

The chances of a Dagestani even watching this fictional basketball podcast are next to none.

So why was this line written? It serves no purpose to the plot, no relevance to the scene, and is just a blatant and unprovoked smear against Dagestanis and Muslim fighters in general.

This wasn’t satire.

It wasn’t a joke.

It was a direct attack, casually inserted into a show where it had no place.

And the fact that Netflix signed off on it shows exactly how normalized Islamophobia has become in the media.

If a line like this had targeted any other group, there would be immediate outrage.

But because it was aimed at Muslim athletes, it’s just brushed aside. It’s disgusting.

For starters , I am a woman (south Asian to be specific- probably can beat you at growing a beard)

My question is , is it haram for Muslim man not to grow a beard ?

The reason why I am asking and also observing Muslim men , tend to comment on non hijab women for not wearing a hijab . Majority of them are clean shaven , shave off their beards etc ( which tempts me to reply ‘brother , where is your beard ?)

Is it fardh for a Muslim man to grow his beard out ?

So I create content online and it’s mainly beauty and lifestyle content.

I don’t wear hijab, but I do dress really modestly.

I don’t address being Muslim or following Islam in any of my content. I mainly do this to avoid hate comments and my religion is my personal journey so I don’t think the whole world needs to know what I follow.

I guess lately people have noticed from habits that I am Muslim as in my content it’s evident that I don’t drink, I eat only halal or kosher meat, I try not to use a lot of boycott brands and every Ramadan I basically make no content. I’ve been getting loads of comments asking if I’m Muslim.

I don’t know if I should just ignore them or address them because I know that I am doing everything I can to be a good Muslim but the moment I put that fact on the internet the haram police are just going to come for me.

Even right now where I haven’t addressed it I’ve gotten dms saying I shouldn’t eat kosher meat as it supports Israel and is haram.

Kinda disappointing assumption to make as it’s simply not true. I live in an area where Jewish people are the majority but they are also pro Palestine. Even the kosher butcher is pro Palestine. And to the point of if eating kosher meat is okay my scholar does permit it and if I’m going to be honest the halal meat in my area is terrible quality which is why I prefer to purchase kosher.

I just don’t think my religion really has anything to do with my content.

You love who you love, who you get along with.

My parents would never accept a non Muslim man, but is it bad to say I don’t really care??

I'm not very well-versed on the subject, and I understand that both conflicts aren't necessarily equivocal, but is this a morally/religiously justifiable position to hold?

Where do Muslims learn to pray from?

In conclusion, to skip my ramble, my question is where does it describe step by step how to pray? how to do wudhu step by step?

Should a woman wear scarf during prayer or no?

As it is not described step by step in the hadiths and not in the holy Quran.

As someone who did not grow up Muslim, I am yet to learn where all the teachings come from, and how does everyone know everything step by step as I have not found it anywhere.

I am a Muslima who is still learning to pray, as I cannot speak Arabic and i find it hard to remember all the movements, as well as i struggle with the timings of prayers.

Naturally, the Islamic way requires quite a few steps, and requires lots of memorising.

However, I do question how does a Muslim learn to pray?

Especially if one believes that Quran is sufficient enough to be a Muslim, since prayer steps, what to say and wudhu are not explained step by step.

Also, I might be incorrect, but isn't the prayer supposed to be derived from a hadith?

However, I have not found hadith explaining step by step wudhu, prayer motions and when/what to say.

I am just learning the way everyone prays, but I do question the origin where Muslims are learning to pray from as I have not found it explaining step by step in the holy Quran or in the hadiths.

Like I don't think it was, if it was haram then why isn't it more well known.

If you have proof that it's haram, comment it here, and if you have proof it isn't, then comment it here.
