Also I completely agree when you're talking about how extreme muslim social media has become in some ways. Like it's the harshness first of all when commenting and not giving any benefit of the doubt. But also the super conservatism and criticism Muslims are adopting. And I know most of the ppl commenting don't actually live as conservatively as they're holding everyone else to. Also Islam has always allowed for difference of opinion within scholarly circles. And this dates back to the Propehet saw. Only allowing for the strictest of opinions to exist online is simply not correct.

And I do think part of this is not having or maybe being part of your in person circles of knowledge. Shuyukh with experience approach these matters weighing the benefits and cons and advise with balance and not extremes. If you're getting all your knowledge from online da'wah bros who read one hadith and are extremely all or nothing, with none of the wisdom or character or having the context that our beloved alims and amilahs had to develop as part of their study - then this happens as a result

I guess there are pros and cons to social media…on one hand, yes it definitely opens your eyes to things we wouldn’t normally be exposed to in our day to day lives and could help us develop a more well rounded perspective but then there is also the cons which we’ve discussed a few times on the pod!

with all due respect i can understand what you mean However i don't think it's fair to label a group of fellow muslim who criticize the suhoor fest as Extremist. You could have at least said they are being way to harsh. Extremist has a bad connotation to it especially in the west.

I totally hear you! I don’t believe Amir actually called those who criticized suhoor fest extremists. He just said the comments that were made were starting to sound extreme. We do believe they were being harsh but by using the term “extreme” we definitely don’t mean what the west has unfortunately defined that word as

This is the greatest evidence that the Law of Islam (Shari'ah) forbids meeting and mixing of men and women. The farther the men are from the women’s rows, the better, and vice versa. If these procedures and precautions were prescribed and adhered to in a mosque, which is a pure place of worship where people are as far away as they ever are from the arousal of desire and temptation, then no doubt the same procedures need to be followed even more rigorously at other places. this above is for prayers

Allahumma innaka afuwwun kareem tuhibbul afwa fa'fu anni. Meaning: O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, [Generous] You love pardon, so pardon me.

Salaam yall! Could you cite the source from where Ameer got that Laylat al-Qadr can happen any time during Ramadan and not just the last 10??

Western countries be trying to make ramadhan and Eid like Christmas and food festivals 😢

I get your point, but as long as we aren’t imitating the kuffar, I think it’s a huge plus to be able to celebrate Ramadan & Eid and have it recognized in the West. Suhoor fest isn’t for everyone and thats ok too!

It is totally imitating non-Muslims. Christmas lights have existed for ages and even Halloween lights are common. Ramadan lights I've seen become popular over the past 5 years or so. Muslims didn't invented putting up lights to "celebrate" the holidays. This new practice is not only imitating non-Muslims (which is haram) it is also bidah because it's a deviation from the actions of the sahaba

I’din’t know how you connect Gaza Vs Suhur fest.

Sara you're so pretty !

but do you think we should be mindful not to post food during ramadan? only because I saw a tweet from a palestinian that said they were disappointed in us as we say we are with them but post food on social media. I don't mean it at all to be preachy but if a palestinian in palestine asks us not to post I think the bare minimum I can do is not post

Absolutely! We’ve mentioned this as well and we’ve both been pretty mindful about sharing food online, with the exception of the one reel we posted from our friend’s Iftar. The focus of the video wasn’t the food though, it was more so the togetherness of our group

Muslim countries ate not always a model for islam....
