    Choosing a scarf that complements your eyes is a good choice🙃. Your position was one of the most challenging. Being in a secular Muslim family will satisfy your material needs but never your soul, and you may feel lost in a vast space forever. It is great that you chose the right path. Women should also hold positions of leadership in the Muslim community. Please set a good example for others through your actions and behaviours rather than your words. Create projects, brainstorm ideas, manufacture products, and so on. I am not familiar with your background, but I can assist you with coding, cybersecurity, and other topics if you are interested.

    The Qura'n should always go hand in hand with all other human written books since The Qur'an will keep you from deviating. Sister, Im not aware of the topic of your phD, but I will let you know the mind blowing field I'm researching on. These beautiful gems in the Qur'an that I discover are known to a very few in my opinion: Linguistic Miracles (English): ruclips.net/video/NNLxGcxuU-c/видео.html&pp=iAQB

    Islam gives more right to women than any other religion or society will ever. Women are a beautiful creation made by god that is why he told us to cover up and not ahow thier beuty to lustful gazing eyes from both men and women. Thier preciouseness and sanctuary is of utmost importance and only available to thier rightful spouses to behold this will stop other escalations and sins leading after it in todays terminology it will stop objectification and all negative aspects it leads onto.

    With Name of Allah, The Kind, The Merciful Message Be truthful, honest, and humble, and worship One God. Struggle and fight for the right cause with whatever God-given abilities and resources you have. To those who rule, do not drive ordinary, hardworking people out of their homes and force them to follow laws that leave them stranded in the wild with no prospects of prosperity for them and for their kids. Do not forget to incorporate retributive justice into the laws you enforce upon the masses of people. And assure that you yourself respect the same laws you want the ordinary people to follow. There is no Elaah (God) except Allah and He is One; He has no partner.

    Hi Selin, I was a very practicing Muslim, at least Imaan-wise I was strong even when I wasn't praying the best. George Orwell's 1984 completely altered my brain chemistry and it threw me off with the concept of religion (no beef with Islam specifically). I'm kind of left with Deism feelings but feeling distant from Islam, even though I call myself Muslim. Have you read it? What did you take from it, if you did?

      @@colorswordsandlearning Jzk for your comment. Try to finish it. It's the thought police and concept of doublethink that screwed with my head, it feels just like religion. Not saying it's the same but there are some strong parallels. Makes it feel like the argument to say "religion is to control the masses" is credible. Of course I'm not saying I fully believe this, I'm still processing it

    • @mabsfreeman1187
      @mabsfreeman1187 2 дня назад

      For me 1984 shows how MAN tries to impose layers of control between the MASSES and any higher authority - whereas ISLAM Is the only faith that defies this and removes all shackles. It's a direct connection between man and the almighty - no intercessors in between. It's the most freeing ideology out there - and thus the greatest threat to mechanisms of control.
