*Please* don't try and give me advice.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

First thing I eat everyday is Karak + some sort of biscuit. I've been eating rusks with the Karak but I pretty much feel like I'm fasting until the next meal. I don't think there's any nutritional value in them.

Obviously this Karak the best breakfast but I'm not looking to discuss that rn 😅

Share your suggestions please!

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Not every Hindu is Islamaphobic, and not every Islamaphobe is Hindu. I see many assuming every Hindu is islamaphobic, or every post that has a chance of being fake or a troll coming from a Hindu. Brothers and sisters, this is wrong.

The hatred many have for us is horrible, and I'm not saying we need to shut up and take it. But we also don't need to fight racism with racism.

We also don't need to assume every post is a troll just because the account might be new or inactive. Many have old Reddit accounts they rarely use, or make Reddit accounts just to post. When there is the possibility that someone may convert to Islam, or is doubting, we need to reply with mercy. Do not take the risk. It's the same logic as when there's a suicidal post, we need to be patient and simply do what we can.

May Allah guide us all. This Ummah is something else man.

As someone who grew up in the Gulf, I really do wish we had more Oman-like architecture. I don't like high-rise buildings, but when it's done in a way that doesn't fit the region.. I think even high-rise lovers would hate that.

Feels like all of this is just to attract and appeal to tourists who look at photos of the country.

Ironic that I used to say I'd never rant or vent because it doesn't help me, yet here I am.

I just came back from Isha, and there was this group of 3 boys that wanted to pray together in congregation. I'm not sure if they were making up Maghrib or wanted to pray Isha before the Iqama, but for their age (below 11 from what I can tell), this is incredible. The boys were alone too and were praying together.

Unfortunately, once they were done praying, they started talking to each other instead of joining the main congregation in the masjid or leaving the masjid. They weren't quiet, so the entire masjid could hear their voices. Throughout the salah I was anticipating that after the prayer the Imam would get up and, as usual in Muslim majority countries, shout harshly at the boys to leave.

And that's exactly what he did. Instead of advising them with compassion and patience, he lashed out at them and kicked them out of the masjid. Absolutely destroyed my heart. I didn't cry, but I think if I was alone I would have almost if not shed a tear.

You can argue the guardians should have accompanied them or properly taught them masjid etiquette, but it's clear that the sheikh reacted horribly. Nobody went to advice the Imam either, because the masjid is mostly filled with people that would do the same in his position.

Maybe I should have advised him, but it wouldn't work. The Imam doesn't take me seriously, and with my broken Arabic I'd just end up embarrassing myself.

I can't complain. I made Dua to be sad and it got answered Alhamdulillah, this is what I asked for.

I hope those kids don't start fearing Islam as a whole or every masjid. I hate nothing more than Masjid uncles shouting at those younger than them.

Thank you for reading. Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. If this counts as exposing any sins please let me know.
