If you have a crunchyroll subscription and you support Palestine, please cancel your subscription on the upcoming October 7th to boycott this decision. A massive Israeli boycott on the anniversary of that day would send a very strong message. Not just crunchyroll either, if you have subscriptions for any other company that enables and supports Israel, October 7th is the day to cancel all of those. Please participate and spread the word.

Qur'an 49:11 says you who have believed, let not a people ridicule [another] people.

we should respect one’s belief even if we disagree. yet you say you don't respect radical feminists..

I've been looking at your blog since you made it, but kind of disappointed in you now...

I saw that you're young so I hope you can be more open-minded in the future, trust me it always helps in life. don't be afraid to look at others' opinions and form your own, please don't become restricted by rigid rules like I did, I've realised there's so much more to learn about! don't be like me, my genuine advice to you is to look and examine things and opinions by yourself critically, who knows, maybe you'll find something that resonates with you!

Hello!

I am accepting of everything and everyone except for harmful beliefs. Radical feminism as well as Terfs harbor harmful idealism that revolve around excluding transgender identities as well as masculine identities.

I will make out my way to disprove these ideologies, the Qur’an doesn’t tell us to sit and watch oppression take its place.

Surah Al-Nisa (4:135):

“O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to Allah, even if it be against yourselves, your parents, or your relatives.”

I chose to follow the words of the prophet and Allah. No one is forcing me to follow “rigid rules”.

Hello! Not an experience, but rather a question. What is islam? Im catholic myself, but would like to learn so that I am able to show better inclusion towards all. I hope this isn't too invasive!

Assalamu Aliykum! Don’t worry, it wasn’t invasive.

Islam is actually a lot closer to Christianity than people think! Islam is an Abrahamic religion that believes in one God, just like Christianity. Muslim believe that God (whom we call Allah), sent prophets to guide societies and preach Islam. Famous examples are Adam, Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The main difference is that while Christians believe that Jesus is the son of God, we believe that he was instead a prophet. The final prophet was Muhammad (PBUH) was the one to receive the Qur’an, our Holy Book! Similar to the Bible for Christians, Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of God and provides Muslims with guidelines to live their life.

Islam teaches people to worship God alone, live morally, and do good deeds in order to succeed in the afterlife (i.e. going to heaven)! The 5 pillars of Islam are:

⁃ Shahadah: Believing that there is no God other than Allah and that Muhammad (PBUH) is His messenger.

⁃ Salat: Prayer, which we do 5 times a day.

⁃ Zakat: Giving charity to help those in need.

⁃ Saum: Fasting during the month of Ramadan.

⁃ Hajj: Pilgrimage to Mecca, which Muslims try to do at least once in their lifetime if they are financially able.

So in many ways, the values of Islam are very close to Christianity, but the understanding of Jesus and the nature of God is where the key differences are.

Hope I was able to explain things clearly!

What’s the different between Sunni and Shia??

Assalamu Aliykum!

The main difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims are their disagreement on leadership after the Prophet Muhammad’s (peace be upon him) death. People were deciding on who should the next leader for Islam, that is, someone who could make important decisions that guides society! Sunni Muslims believe that the community should choose the Prophet’s successors, regarded as caliphs. On the other hand, Shias believed that leadership should be strictly hereditary from the Prophet’s family.

When it comes to modern day leadership, Sunni’s follow scholars who interpret the Qur’an and Hadiths. Shias, on the other hand, place special importance on the line of Imams (a spiritual leader) starting with Ali, the Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) son-in-law!

I think it’s also worth mentioning that Sunnis make up about 85 to 90 percent of the global Muslim population, whereas Shias are only around 10 to 15 percent, with the largest communities living in Iran, Iraq, and other nearby countries.

But the most important takeaway is that the core beliefs (such as belief in one God, the Quran, and the Prophet) are the same! There are some differences in rituals and practices, but as long as they don’t go against Islam’s pillars and principles both Sunnis and Shias are considered Muslim!

Hope this clears some things up!

@this-is-islamophobia is homophobic and transphobic tf don’t sponsor them, Muslims are known for hating on trans

Here’s a good explanation from this sister on why the LGBTQ is considered haram!

Remember, always respect people for who they are, even if they disagree with you! I don’t want any homophobic/transphobic/radical feminists comments on my blog 💜

[this-is-islamophobia]

I'm not read up on hijabi culture and rules, why is it disrespectful to wear if you're a masc identity? Does this also count for people who are bigender/genderfluid?

Good question! I had to ask my mom for information. There’s no set answer, but I’ll try my best!

The hijab is a symbol of modest femininity! Men have their own modesty masculinity that women don’t in Islam, it’s like everyone had their own thing. So when men wear it, it can be seen as mockery of a religious commandment, rather than practicing it!

Islam is also a very gender based religion as both genders have their own needs, and we do go off assigned gender at birth. I’m part of a more conservative group, and so the LGBTQ isn’t permitted (like a don’t support, but always respect kinda thing, emphasis on respect!). It’s mainly due to the fact that yeah, it’s gender heavy! Both genders have their own issues and needs, and that’s reflected in the Qur’an! We would have to change things in our book, but that doesn’t make it the words of god, does it?

Once again note that not supporting or being a part of it isn’t considered homophobia, disrespecting is! Islam is extremely intolerant to discrimination even if they’re “sinners”. Allah knows best!

Ex-Catholic here. I wanted to send some love, as someone who also grew up under the shadow of people accusing my religion to be full of pedophiles. It's a disgusting accusation to throw at anyone, especially just because of their religion.

This is solidarity!

No one of any religion should be accused of such thing, every religion is beautiful in there own way 💜

[this-is-islamophobia]

Is it true that you can wear hijab and such without being muslim? I have always wanted to, but I worry it would be disrespectful.

Yes! Only if you are a woman though, it is considered disrespectful to wear it as a masc identity! Anyone can wear a hijab, we aren’t gate keepers lol

[this-is-islamophobia]

There's a post of these beautiful punk hijabs that I saw, and the notes were filled with reddit atheist type takes. It broke my heart.

This is Islamophobia!

Hijab can be worn however you want it to be like 💜

[this-is-islamophobia]

Islamophobia is wanting to wear a hijab, but worrying I'll be attacked.

This is internalized 💜

Hijab is YOUR choice, and YOUR choice only! No one should or can police what you wear. Why is hijab such a big deal for other people? What’s so wrong with wearing fabric over your head? Remember that other religions have similar things to the hijab, such as nuns! It’s a symbol of modesty and femininity 💜

So my sister, it is up to you if you want to or not! Remember that anyone who hurts you for wearing it, will get what they deserve in the hereafter 💜 this is just the dunya!

It's kind of exhausting to me that people in the US call Islam a religion of pedophilia. There are four US states where there is NO minimum age at which you can marry a child with an adult's permission. It's legally possible to marry a newborn. But I guess somehow it's fine if Christians do it? (To be clear, I don't hate Christians. But if it's legal to marry a newborn where you live, maybe fix that before berating others. Otherwise it's clear the problem isn't pedophilia, it's just Islamophobia.)

This is Islamophobia! There’s a lot of double standards when it comes to people criticizing Islam 💜
