Racism is racism, doesn't matter who the perpetrator is and who the victim is. Anti white racism does exist, muslims should know this since many of them are guilty of it.

lol @ the idea that "white people have power" Go ahead and ask the white people in Appalachia exactly how much power they have. Shoot, go ahead and ask your average working class white person exactly how much power they wield in society. This ideology comes from the same place as the whole gay, gay, gay, trans, trans, trans, queer academic types, therefore I reject it. It doesn't matter what papers they have published in their own journals, this is part of a clearly political move to completely change Western society for the worse with more degeneracy, more consumerism, et al

The best way to change the world is to change ourselves. Just wanna remind you all of the good old saying, "be the change you want to see". If we want to see a world where there's no racism, let's address our own racist tendencies.

بَلِ الْإِنسَانُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ بَصِيرَةٌ 75:14 I am a fallible human being. Fighting with myself, trying to force it and teach it to recognize & accept the truth in first place and then following & submitting to that truth. I find in myself, every bad traits and I am struggling for self purification. Currently, I am witness against myself that I deserve Hell as I have not yet achieved the goal and never worshiped, thanked & praised God as He ought to be worshiped, thanked & praised. The status of my salah is that different sort of thoughts get me while I am standing before Him. I feel this as I have done the shirk. My only hope in the Mercy of Almighty Lord which has enveloped everything and the love of Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام) in my heart. I have only recited the salawat with its true & pure intention and nothing else. Perhaps I have too killed the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) and Imams (عليه السلام), I feel like this whenever my nafs was trying to stop me from doing a bad thing and I crush that inner voice and keep on doing that bad thing. I have not yet accepted, followed & worshiped the truth as it ought to be accepted, followed & worshiped. So yes, I find myself "Zalooman Jahoola", kanood, Zaloomun kuffar etc.

This is so true, White reverts are almost never taken seriously in Muslim communities even if they try hard by learning Arabic, praying everyday etc. in the eyes of many born Muslims and Arabs, they will always be converted outsiders. Ignorance.

Your advice is terrible. “Don’t listen to these guys because they don’t agree with me”. Use some critical thinking. Just because someone calls themselves Anti-fascist doesn’t actually make them Anti-fascist.

Re OP When a US store owner employs a Latino over a white worker because he perceives the white person to be lazy and the Latio to be a hard worker, that's Racism. That's both the store owner's prejudice and power coming into play - being the store owner, he holds the 'power'. So, yes white people can also experience racism even in white majority countries.

I personally don’t engage in any form or type of non-Islamic politics, because it has no influence whatsoever on my eventual salvation. As I mentioned previously, today’s anti-fascists, just as the neo-fascists, pose no real danger to the system of established governance. All of these groups are just social clubs where people look for acceptance and some sort of a life mission. I would say that 90% of people who engage in such activities eventually abandon them later in life.

A fundamental idea that seems to be circulating around the left in their campaigns and their stance against white privilege, is the belief that within western society (the U.S specifically) an individual cannot be racist towards a white person, but can only be prejudiced towards them. Stating that racism towards a person necessitates two components possessed by the individual - prejudice and power. Arguing that a white individual irrespective of their social status will always have the power principal i.e the government or the institutionalized bias. Therefore reverse racism is a myth and the only thing which a person of a Caucasian complexion can face is prejudice. What are your thoughts in regards to this 'reasoning' and do you believe that reverse racism is indeed a myth or otherwise. Please state your reasons why.

Antifa is not an organized group like ISIS or Al Qaeda, it really seems like a way to blanketly target anyone that's an enemy of the state.

If Allah sends his Lanat on the three then so can i, don’t open the door of forgiveness Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) doesn’t play games. Btw their many Sunnis who respect Mu’awiyah does that mean I should stop sending Lanat on them???

It's a good idea brother. In some ways it is similar to i'tikaaf.

Once you add 'by the permission of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى)' you have essentially opened up every possibility because Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) has no limits. To believe that something is not possible despite the permission of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) is essentially kufr.

@Logic1234 We are all fallible, brother, and in need of God's mercy. Yet, our Lord is Merciful. His mercy is vaster than our sins. The Prophet صلّی الله عليه وآله وسلم says, الراحمون يرحمهم الرحمن، ارحموا من في الأرض يرحمكم من في السماء Those who are kind to others, God will be kind to them; Be kind to those on earth; and He who is in heaven will be kind to you!

لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ رَبِّ أَوْزِعْنِي أَنْ أَشْكُرَ نِعْمَتَكَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَىٰ وَالِدَيَّ وَأَنْ أَعْمَلَ صَالِحًا تَرْضَاهُ وَأَصْلِحْ لِي فِي ذُرِّيَّتِي ۖ إِنِّي تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَإِنِّي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

I haven't insulted him. Not being dust of the foot means 'cannot be compared'. Since Ibne Arabi believed and wrote all kufr and shirk, he cannot be compared to me. It's my opinion. This forum allows those things about Mu'awiyah. Mu'awiyah is highly revered my most sunnis. And again I didn't insulted. Read your own books. So many sunni scholars have called him kafir. Go lecture them.

Never claimed he was a Persian. Shows how little you know about Shia Islam. You can stay from whatever you want, I’ll keep to the orthodox version of my faith. You are nobody to issue religious rulings what represents Shia Islam and what doesn’t. I go by the writings of our classical scholars who condemned tasawwuf, falsafa, and Sufi mystics. Ibn Arabi and other mystics believe in wahdat al-wujud, that everything is Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) and there is only one existent (mawjud), which runs against the orthodox Shi’ite beliefs. Allamah Majlisi (ha) in his Aqaid al-Islam (p. 48) writes that the doctrine of wahdat al-wujud “constitutes of greatest unbelief (kufr)”. Sayyid Muhammad Kazim al-Tabatabaei al-Yazdi (ha) in his al-‘Urwa al-wuthqa (vol. 1, p. 145) writes that “there is no doubt about the ritual impurity (najasa) of the ghulat, the khawarij, the nawasib, those who ascribe a body to Allah (mujassima), those who are determinists (mujbira), and the Sufis who believe in wahdat al-wujud since they mix the practice of Islam with their corrupt ideas and practices.” Ibn Arabi was attacked not only on the basis of belief in wahdat al-wujud, but also for other beliefs that run contradictory to Shia Islam. He, as other Sunni Sufis, denied the eternal punishment in the hereafter, which emphasise his belief in determinism (jabriyya). Sufis hold everyone to be equal, they practice sulh-i kull and consider no one to be bad, hence undermining the Shi’i belief in walayat and bara’at (Qummi, Radd-i sufiyya, p. 147). Read further on irfan and tasawwuf in Muhammad Tahir Qummi’s (ha) Radd-i sufiyya, Muhammad Ali b. Muhammad Mu’min Husayni Tabatabaei Bihbahani Shirazi’s (ha) al-Radda’ al-sufiyya wa al-falasifa, the latter is a great critique of Mulla Sadr and the Sufi belief in wahdat al-wujud. Sayyid Muhammad Ali Bihbahani (ha) completely eradicated Sufism in Kermanshah, and numerous Persian cities. He wrote a fierce criticism of Sufism Khayratiyyah dar ibtal tariqat Sufiyya. Allamah Bihbahani (ha) stroke such a fear among Sufis, that they nicknamed him “Sufi killer.” For more contemporary criticism see for example the works of Sayyid Muhammad Taqi Mudaressi (al-irfan al-islami) or Sayyid Qasim Ali-Ahmadi (Tanzih al-ma’bud...). Bring forth arguments from scholarly books instead of throwing tantrums and insults at anyone who disagrees with you. If you want to take your religion from a Sunni Sufi, and are ready to die defending him, it is up to you, but don’t expect all the others to automatically agree. He hasn’t insulted anyone, but just pointed out that we follow the school of Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام), and not Sunni Sufism. Your censorship mentality is the same mentality that the Wahhabis have, if someone disagrees, you want to shut him down. Bring forth your proofs from Shia SCHOLARLY books why we should take our religion from ibn Arabi, Rumi, Ibn Sina, and the likes instead of getting angry.

l went to three stores today. At the first, two store employees were wearing masks. l was. Nobody else in the store or parking lot. Went to the 2nd store. That employee was. No other customers and nobody in parking lot. Went to the supermarket. 0ne man in parking lot was wearing a mask, but the woman he was with was not. ln the store, l saw one girl employee wearing a mask, but no other employees l saw were. Then tonight, the news was showing parties in Russia, events in America where no one was masked. And the unmasked at these George Floyd protests and riots [these last 6 days]. My thought was what my father said several times: once a people loses their sense of physical well being then everything else goes with it. lts been a few years since l Iast posted this on S.C, yet since the early 70s, Americans have gotten continuously more reckless. l wonder which way eveything collapses . . . and anytime now.

If Iran makes a vaccine, it will be good because they will share it with their neighbors. If another Muslim country makes a vaccine, they probably won't share with Iran.

Funny thing, you can’t ban the Antifa as it is not an organisation, it comprises autonomous activist groups that meet for protests or actions and then disperse. There’s no structure, membership or leaders. They really demonise this movement, which in this day and era is nowhere near as radical even. In the past far-left groups used to set off bombs and assassinate state officials. Nowadays they march in protests and leave antifascist stickers behind.

Have an open mind and good aklahq and not blindly follow your respected scholars in all of the possible fields.

My point was that "social construct" doesn't mean "fake".

This is incorrect. Islam clearly defines matters pertaining to racism and race, society is persistently drifting away from Godly values and as a result we must be very weary in not appeasing a society which is constantly swayed. The Quran is eternal and unchanging therefore we refer to definitions that are consistent with the Quran. That being racism is prejudice towards an individual irrespective of the power structure.

Good luck. I see why Shias leave the dawah to Sunnis now.

I've seen videos of more and more police laying down their military gear and joining in the protest marches. One can certainly question their sincerity, but it's a good development nonetheless - either they are admitting that police actions have been wrong, or they are acknowledging that they can't win. I hope to see a lot more of it. If I were still in the military, I would refuse to follow the illegal order to harass and fire upon US civilians. I hope most members of the military know that following illegal orders is a crime punishable by imprisonment in a military prison along with dishonorable discharge.

I am no one to elevate or reduce position among the great scholars. End note is that Ayotullah khoi had more knowledge than Imtiaz Sahab, me and you. And his argument is based on extensive research work. First you said that Imam asked to recite what is best and when I told you that will you recite poetry, you say there are hadith saying that Imams read up to Aliyun Aliyun waliullah. It means you are not agreeing with that hadith because it fails to logic ? Right. After that I will answer further.

NHK lnterview: Historia Yuval Noah Harari author of Sapens, and others. Democracies almost always "collapse during emergencies". "Citizen choices will shape the future." "Global solidarity is the antidote." "A different kind of war" is a metaphor. No human being is an enemy, fighting the virus, not people. "We choose how this (pandemic) will end." Do we chose science or dictators? Commentator, in short, opined C-19 is not going away but will define our way of life for the next several years.

Salam you must make up whole of it but you you don't need to pay Kafarah. https://www.hawzahnews.com/news/416881/حکم-روزه-در-صورت-فراموشی-غسل https://ana.ir/fa/news/45/186563/حکم-روزه-در-صورت-فراموشی-غسل-واجب https://www.yjc.ir/fa/news/6124741/حکم-روزه-در-صورت-فراموشی-غسل-واجب

That is nice. Andacquire knowledge and promote the good Scholars.

So you mean that Jesus was meant by son like normal human beings were meant? And by son is meant one who is under the care of God and not truly a son of God.

Salam, Well what is the "haqeeqah" (reality) of this universe then? Everything that begins to exist has an age whatsoever, how can this universe become "ageless"? We may say we don't know exactly its age but how can we say that it is ageless? Please elaborate your statement for me. Many thanks.

Wow! Randomly picking an ayah without knowing it's Tafseer.

Lets me start by saying white cops kill more white people than black people. Black cops kill more black people than white people. Look this up. Factual with evidence. Check the statistics. This is 100% true. This is not to say the cops shooting people is okay, it obviously isn’t. But people keep saying white cops are killing black people when in reality they kill more white people. Why didn’t anyone say anything about that? Why didn’t anyone talk about the black cop that put a few bullets in a white man’s back not long ago? You keep saying “republicans” and “right wing”. However you never mention the divisive language the left uses: African-American, Arab-American, Mexican-American. They never once claim that these people are simply American. This is the problem, creating categories that give the impression that these people are not REALLY American. Those with Arab parents who are born and raised in America are NOT Arab. They are born under an American system, American social etiquette, American education and American values. Where is the Arab part exactly? The parents? The poor parents had to assimilate and learn the American ways to live there. Have you listened to one of these “Arab-Americans” talk about Arabs or Arabian life? It’s Orientalist language. And whenever one of those Arab-Americans get on TV to talk about the problems in the Middle East, all they talk about is implementing American ideology into the Middle East. The left is just as divisive as the right. So don’t bring your contemporary tribalism here. We don’t beed the dirty left or the dirty right. Learn to think for yourself and stop aligning yourself with wings.

I believe the definition here is specifically about racial discrimination which doesn't usually occur in my fridge lol

Yes that is what I am saying. We must be aware of what we are supporting.

And beat people with bike locks. Come on. Antifa is a disgusting group. They’re violent children with barely any understanding of politics. They even went as far as plotting to stab Ben Shapiro

Conspiracies don't need to be the default explanation for everything. You should encourage your mind to consider alternate explanations.

My comment by change of word.

lRl FM office rebuked US threats about those tankers as a violation of the Law of the Sea.

What do you mean by political Taqqiya. I feel you have taken shia and sunni as competing patties or forces. If so then I feel Muslims (both Shias and sunnis) have already lost.

Salam he called murderer of Imam Ali (عليه السلام) exactly same as killer of She-camel of Thamud that is definition of unbeliever if we don't call murderer of Imam Ali(عليه السلام) as disbeliever then we don't find anyone as disbeliever that only Nawasib are whitewashing him & call him as Sahaba too. http://tanzil.net/#trans/en.qarai/91:13

Walaykum as Salam, the age depends on your marjas’ ruling. Ayatollah Sistani ruled that girls become baligh at around 9, and boys around 15. Other maraji’ either accept similar ages or slightly differ. You either have to get married or abstain from masturbation all together, there’s no third way. Masturbation has been condemned by the A’immah (may Allah bless them all), and marriage at young age became very ostracised nowadays due to the Western customs and norms. Unfortunately, Western laws and lifestyles have enormous influence on many Muslims living in the West or not, but we don’t go by these. Islamically, rushd (maturity of mind) is as important as the physical one and to avoid zina, one should get married.

This is why I only play games from when I was a kid in the 80s and 90s & encourage parents I know to have their kids do the same. I have just finished Illusion of Gaia again for the first time in twenty years (very heavy SNES game in terms of thematic elements & plot). Now I have gone in reverse and started on Soul Blazer which I had never previously played while at the same time, starting a file on Lufia & the Fortress of Doom... another twenty years since I've played through that one. Having save states makes the games much more convenient and allows me to experiment with the best tactics for defeating certain enemies, so I might write my own guides for these beloved dinosaurs at some point. I don't play modern games for the specific reason that SJWs have to insert degenerate propaganda & hardcore anti-religious, anti-family themes into the modern games (likely paid by Obama/Soros to do so). as this is an Islamic forum, I'd also like to once again reiterate that it's objectively hilarious how the mealy-mouthed, screeching university SJW crowd thinks that Islam is their ally in making the society that they want. Learning about Islam's uncompromising standards on morality and the family was what attracted me to it since 2016 in more than an "academic" sense... it's an anchor for Westerners whose society has been sold out to the radical liberal degens, it just takes a little practice and adjustment. That's all.

My wishlist is very straightforward: Get a good wife because that equals a good life.

Seeing the angels opening the gates of jannah on my death, being welcomed by the Imams (عليه السلام), having Allah’s (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) mercy to sit among His (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) Prophets (عليه السلام) and greatest scholars where I could further drink from the fountain of ever lasting knowledge.

In my opinion, depends how recent and if he is still emotionally involved. She doesn't want to be her husband's second choice. But if some time has passed and he isn't thinking about his previous wife anymore, all other things being good, she should consider him. He could have lied. His honesty and openness is a good sign.

12 hour mut`ah is a joke.

I think she shouldn't worry much about a 12 hours marriage or however long it may have been. He did disclose it and he hadn't done Haram so that earns him respect if anything. There are guys that go on to indulge in all sorts of stuff prior to marriage and their wives have no idea. I also wouldn't be so quick to judge her faith or suggest ignorance, the OP alluded to her inexperience and opinion being uncomfortable with the fact rather than questioning the validity of a temporary marriage. She's after opinions not judgement.
