(6:159) Surely you have nothing to do with those who have made divisions in their religion and become factions. Their matter is with Allah and He will indeed tell them (in time) what they have been doing.

Do ‘feminists’ who believe that Islam is inherently abusive towards women.. Understand the direct damage they cause towards abused Muslim women?

Like, if a Muslim woman were to open up about any abuse she faces (whether from a spouse, or a parent, or someone else in the community) one of the first reactions she may get is ‘Islam abuses women. Islam is a bad religion. Islam is backwards, its behind, its abusive, we need to get rid of it’.

This initial extreme reaction is just making Muslim women afraid of opening up about abuse.

We know that if we mention any abuse, the automatic response (the expectation) will be to give up our religion and our beliefs. These feminists care about us, but only if we conform to that expectation. Otherwise, we’re brainwashed, we’re complacent, we’re part of the problem. Muslim women end up being unsupported by everyone around them, including the very women that claim to want to help abolish abuse against women.

This applies to queer Muslims too. By calling the entirety of Islamic society queerphobic, you indirectly let queer Muslims know that they are not welcome. And they're not. They end up in a state where they are not welcome in their homophobic societies nor in the communities that claim to be 'queer-friendly'. They have to build their own spaces, and then still end up getting constantly attacked from both sides.

Your islamophobia isn't helping anyone.

I myself do not have access to a copy; whatever source I found this through over a year ago says the quote is on pages 43-44.

If future me has the energy, I can try finding the source of the image.

mannn Allah is so cool for creating the universe, like imagine having infinite power and u can do anything u want at all whatsoever and u choose to make a little world of people. and you choose to love those people and be kind to them and do everything you can do to help guide them to light and safety and your eternal love. and you can do anything! anything at all! but Allah chose to LOVE, and to create, and to help. Allah chose, above everything else He could possibly have chosen to do, to create us and give us His beautiful abundant adoration. isn't that just so beautiful??? and on top of all that, He created a place for us to go after we pass, a place of paradise. can you believe that?

and no, no one can imagine being that, because only Allah has that power, and i'm glad for that. i'm glad we have Allah to take care of us because He knows better than we do. i mean that's obvious but you know. i am just so grateful to have His love. i am so, so grateful for Allah.

Eid Mubarak! Hope you have a blessed celebration <3

sorry, but you were socialized christian. I just can't trust you in a trans space

[mousidy]

they literally taught you that trans people were subhuman and that you were better than them. I don't know if you can be trusted around other trans people

[mousidy]

they scapegoated and abused you for showing signs of transness? uh... no? christianity is the most privileged religion there is. stop whining

[mousidy]

gotta say I was not expecting people to go to bat for my strawman

[mousidy]

me: "lol wouldn't it be crazy if trans communities treated ex-christian trans people who survived religious abuse the same way they treat trans women who they call 'male socialized'"

some of you, for some reason: "wait hold on that's a great idea"

[mousidy]

very interesting rorschach test this post has become. some of you identify with the excluders, and then meanwhile every Muslim or ex-Muslim responder has identified with the excluded

let's all have a trans women + Muslim movie night. the theme will be "Forever Tainted by our Upbringings, Apparently"

[bigenderrevert]

I understand that. I suppose the follow up would be the fate and attitude toward people who are critical of the quran i.e. inconsistencies that are fair to bring up

That depends on whether or not they are good faith but the inconsistencies in the Quran are you people misunderstanding the meaning of a word, the Quran was written in a particular dialect in a particular poetic form and thus a lot of words have special meanings in the Quran that are different from their normal meaning in Standard Arabic and that's despite the fact that Modern Standard Arabic is very similar to Quranic Arabic they have many differences

Heck even a lot of Scholars have crummy takes about the meaning of certain verses like for example the verse that people say says to beat your Wife: it doesn't it says to leave the room, Strike is only a secondary meaning of that word the primary one means something more like seperate or distance

Also the entire Quran is a poem, so it's full of Metaphors, and Layered meanings, it's the most Complex book ever written since it's structured in a very strange way, each Surah is an entire Poem and in addition this is why the Quran has be recited in a specific way

[bigenderrevert]

As someone who is just interested in religion, it's very hard to read the Quran. Simply because nearly every other page is about how disbelivers are the worst thing ever and they're going to be punished for eternity. It doesn't feel like welcoming guidance but instead so much fear and hurt. I don't really know how to get around it. Any advice?

oh Disbelievers are people completely reject Islam its different from Nonbelievers who are people that dont necessarily believe in Islam but dont reject its message, the Disbelievers are people who mock Islam, and who display arrogance in their disbelief, they are the ones who will be sent to the fire, not those who havent made up their mind

TLDR if you arent an Islamophobic bigot then its not talking about you

[bigenderrevert]

also important to note Jews and some Christians (not all Christian denominations) are consider people of the Book and are considered to like the Cousins to all Muslims since they received earlier revalations

people of the book are considered to be Believers just of an older sort (that said since Christians are basically only unified by a few beliefs about Jesus/Isa and even then they barely agree on anything, but so there are many Christians who might not be people of the book but this can really only be analyzed on a case by case basis and the vast majority of Christians are people of the book the main thing is that the Mormons dont count because they have a "revalation" that comes after the Quran)

the short answer is if somebody believes in the God of Abraham and does not reject Islam outright or follow anybody who claims to be a prophet after Muhammad they are a Person of the book
