wow, there's a Muslim thread!

 

Assalamu alaykum!

 

My name's Yasmin from Yemen but live in London, UK. Nice to meet you all!

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatoullah,welcome to the thread.

What you wrote on your 'location' made me laugh for a good 10 seconds haha

Assallammualaykum,,

I'm glad there's muslim thread here.

My name is Qara.

I'm Indonesian, but currently living abroad.

 

There is a topic about homopobhia in the main forum. I'm really curious about all of your opinion about homo and lesbian.

There's so much about k-pop that makes me disappointed. One of them is because k-pop seems to promote it. Our religion forbid the act greatly. And i don't think that we should just agree of something like that.

 

Walaykum salam. First time coming across a 'Qara'. Very pretty name! You can call me by my name, Yasmin.

 

I'm absolutely with you Qara, I feel the same way. I don't treat gay people any differently, they're human like us. It's not haram to be gay. It's haram to act on your desires, to commit homosexual activity.

 

A Muslim believes in the shahaadah of course, and if one believes in the shahadaah, then one must believe in ALL of the Prophets of Islam and their teachings/messages. Prophet Lut's story in the Qur'an deals with the homosexuality; it includes the punishment for committing homosexual activities as well. Prophets weren't given to mankind for story-telling but to adhere to. So really, the Qur'an strictly forbids homosexual activities. There's no going about it, you can't innovate Islam on being pro-LGBT. You can't misinterpret the Quranic verses on homosexuality because the verses are clear as crystal. 

 

Our fellow Muslims that are gay have a very tough test but they must follow Allah's words. Everyone of us have different tests that we'll have to tackle in this life because Allah has promised that we will all be tested in this life, one way or another. But He also tests us with only what we can bare. With overcoming trials/tests, Allah will grant us rewards in the after-life (and this life).

 

 

“Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: ‘We believe,’ and will not be tested.

 

And We indeed tested those who were before them. And Allaah will certainly make (it) known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make (it) known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allaah knows all that before putting them to test)â€

 

[al-‘Ankaboot 29:2-3] 

 

“And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Saabiroon (the patient).

 

Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: ‘Truly, to Allaah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return.’

 

They are those on whom are the Salawaat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided onesâ€

 

[al-Baqarah 2:155-157] 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Onto another topic, ISIS (IS or Da'ish in Arabic).

 

They make my blood boil. I'm so angry at how they're killing Christians, Muslims of other sects (shias, sufis) and even killing their 'own' sect, Sunnis!   I really don't know how we can stop them when our Muslim leaders are doing nothing about it, comfortable in their own bubble, sitting on their arses. What's more, I absolutely hate, loathe, when there's Western foreign intervention in Muslim countries. It's a recipe for disaster. Just look at Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and my homeland, Yemen. It's so sad that our countries are a mess that our only glimmer of hope are Western countries that on the surface say that they're intervening to help innocent lives but are also, quite obviously, exploiting our countries.

 

Just turning on the news channel makes me depressed. 

May Allah guide us all. :'(

Thank you for replying me, Yasmin.. ^^

I am never met another 'Qara' before.. Do you now what is the meaning of my name? I try to seek it, but different sources gave me different answer.

 

I'm worried with all the things that happening right now. It feels like we're getting closer and closer to the doomsday.

 

I'm really sorry i don't really have much knowledge about ISIS. But from what I heard in the news. It is indeed really bad. How can they did something like that if they are Moslem?

Did you now live in Yemen? How is the situation there?

Sometimes i find it hard to trust the media, because sometimes there is too many propaganda.

I hope Allah will always protect you and your family.

 

*I'm sorry for my English.. It's not my first languange.. >_<

 

Well, Qara'a means to read in Arabic. Qara is a city in Syria I think.

 

I know :( What they're doing is against the Quran and Sunnah. 

 

No, I was born and raised in England. I've only gone to Yemen 4 times. It isn't safe there.

Your English is good, don't worry! :D

 

 

 

Da'ish are not sunni they are shia 

?????

 

Da'ish were originally called ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq & Syria) in English. They're Sunnis (or claim to be ). They tried to fight for the Sunnis in Iraq & Syria that were being oppressed by the Shia/Alevi led governments. Then in the last few months they went all wacko and crazy. They completely hijacked the Syrian Uprising and FSA (free syrian army).

 

Their views don't even make sense. All that they do is against the Qur'an and Sunnah. 

 

Anyway, I hate them.
