I will not be visiting this forum much

Assalamu Alaikum,

Sister Maryah, you have been a very prolific contributor here, Masha Allah. I hope that you would continue visiting this place to spread the knowledge to others about Islam and other issues.

There is a term called "metacognition," which can be very useful, if applied properly, in the field of education or elsewhere in an environment of information ( knowledge ) sharing. That refers to awareness or analysis of one�s own learning or thinking processes ( Webster�s Dictionary ). How nice it would be if we all focus here to learn to maximize our learning potential!

I like this definition and its usage as it commonly provides us all a platform from where we can grow. While embarking on this journey, it is better to be prepared that there would be disagreements on issues and we may not agree on some or many things. That doesn�t, in any way, mean that we should quit the processing of learning and sharing.

Once again, it is a reminder to us all that personal attacks of any form, whether stated or implied, will not be tolerated. Please use the "report" feature to report any such violation.

May Allah guide us all.

Peace

As Salamu Alaikum

It is such a shame, here we are trying to convince a sister to reconsider her decision not to leave the forum, and brother SignReader mentions EAST and WEST.

How do we ever hope to achieve UNITY with this attitude. Whether we are Muslims from the East or West, none of us are truly following the Shariah in letter and spirit. Can't we just be MUSLIMS first and foremost.

Let�s help each other achieve Unity not DISUNITY.

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala forgive us for our shortcomings and guide us to the path followed by His Last Messenger (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam), his Companions (Radhi Allahu Anhum) and our righteous predecessors. Ameen!

Salams

As Salamu Alaikum Sister Maryah

I know there are a few threads where I responded to your views. If I have hurt your feelings in any way please forgive me.

This is a public forum, and as a Muslimah, I feel it is my duty to correct a misconception if I saw one. We are all human, and sometimes I know I do come across a bit strongly. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala bless me with a wisdom to be more tactful. Ameen!

I do tend to get a bit frustrated when we have clear evidence and others are trying to prove otherwise. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala forgive us our shortcoming. Ameen! Yes the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) was very tolerant we should learn from his example and the examples of the righteous predecessors.

Many a times I also wanted to throw in the towel, but then I realised that we all have a role to play as we are instructed by the Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alayhi wa Sallam) �Convey from me even a Ayat� (agreed upon).

I pray that you will forgive me if I am the cause of your decision to leave and I also pray you will reconsider. Despite our different views, we need the support of each other to strengthen our Iman. As an Ummah we are facing very trying times.

Insha Allah I pray we will be able to agree to disagree amicably.

Wa Alaikum Salam

Bismillah irrahman irrahim

Assalamu alaykum

Sister it is sad to hear about your disappointment in the behaviour of our brothers and sisters. Sister this forum is formed with people of all backgrounds and belief systems. Thing is everyone has a set of values and as muslims inshaAllah they are coming from Holy Quran and Sunnah. Some muslims choose to keep almost every sound hadith and sunnah of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam close to their heart and others believe that not all of them are sahih so choose not to follow them. The topic you are talking about, the difference of opinion was even between a teacher and student. But difference was only one from our situation, they differed about how sound sunnah is but never dared to discuss about its validity, points that we raise and in the manner we raise them and they were scholars.

Sister when a muslim tries to tell another muslim about a ruling, i am quite sure he/she is doing it with best intention. If we are only here to prove a point then we are most ignorant people, the whole point is spreading the truth of our deen for sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala not for personal reasons.

The last sermon of our beloved Prophet is so beautiful sister but have you thought maybe thats is the reason next muslim is telling you or some1 else something. 'Muslims constitue one brotherhood', alhamdulillah we do so maybe a muslim who knows rulings of islam has seen something against the islam law and only telling you because he/she wants you to know the truth. And surely sister all of us know this that we are accountable to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala who hears what our own self whispers to us so how can any1 with a bit of knowledge judge other muslims.

I hope you take some time and think about it and come back to us inshaAllah. It is a part of very famous hadith that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgives those who forgive others.

wassalam
