Lame Radar Posted January 31, 2009 I don't know which basics you refer to but I do not concern myself with what makes up anyone's basics. I do know that historically, the self-righteous always were blinded by their stance. Being a Muslim is so much more than what you wear. After you are finished looking over the checklist of requirements, remember that being humble and gracious are actually on that list too. It's not how loudly you announce being a Muslim, but how quietly you defer to Allah, that matters IMO. Dismissing a person's perspective by stating that you don't agree with their basics, and to question how Muslim one is, is probably the last thing Islam wanted people to do. But good luck to you in your attempt to isolate people from being part of the highly coveted Muslim of the year winners circle. I may not agree with you but I don't question your faith as the basis for my argument in a debate or a commentary. Salaam to all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rahima Posted February 1, 2009 Lame Radar, the basic point that the Hijab is wajib. The dirac alone is not a type of hijab. Can someone not be humble and gracious whilst wearing the appropriate hijab? Must it be one or the other? Islam is a deen- a way of life, hence what's in the heart is very important, but it MUST be accompanied by actions. You seem to a chip on your shoulder, hence why i don't really wish to get into it with you . Anyhow wlc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyhow wlc It's highly presumptuous of you to explain what Islam is to me when you don't know anything about me. As for my having a chip on my shoulder, I would say that you might be projecting here. You don't really wish to get into it with me? Since when is my perspective and my opposing view about you? Is that not slightly self centered on your part? I was under the impression that people have a dialogue on here regarding topics that are brought forth. As for the your comment on being humble and gracious, well self-righteousness doesn't fit well with those two is what my comment was about. Thank you for the welcome!

Blessed Posted February 3, 2009 ^ . You're so right. LOL I guess it would be better if it was a ladies only event. "It's not how loudly you announce being a Muslim, but how quietly you defer to Allah," This is NOT true, walaal. Believe is personal but Islam is an outward religion. Allah commands us in some many verses of the Quran to both announce and wear it, in various ways and not just our clothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed Posted February 3, 2009 ^Have you heard about the seaman who visited the UK back in the day, when he went back home the people asked him about England. Wuxu yidhi, 'waar meesha lix biloodna geedahaa qaawan, lixda kalena naagahaa qaawan.' It's like that, eh.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabregas Posted February 3, 2009 lollllllllllll ha ha. Seamens themselves ma dhib yaren, they have some very interesting stories. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NGONGE Posted February 3, 2009 ^^ Interesting stories and interesting names. In fact, I have not met one single Seaman who did not have a crazy nickname. There are very few of them left now (in London and Cardiff). I always wanted to visit their place and record all the stories they have. It is quite a history I tell you.
