    Is there an ignore feature?

    :salam2: I am a member of other message boards and they usually have an ignore feature if you do not wish to see posts from certain members. Do we have this feature here? If not, is there a way to get one?

    Thank you to Admin and Mods

    Asalaam aleakum, I wanted to thank the mods and admin for handing the troll situation so quickly today. It seems the nonbeliever will stop at nothing to insult our beliefs and way of life. But Allah swt will deal with them Justly in the end. UNtil then, thank you for banning them.

    PM restrictions?

    Politics and nationality mean nothing

    Salaam, Recently I've noticed an increase of nationalistic ferver among our little corner of the internet. I see brothers and sisters puffed up with pride and defensiveness over political figures that share their same background. I am mystified by this behavior as I feel it foolhardy to...

    Multiple accounts?

    Is it against the rules for one person to have more than one account? If so could I get a PM from a moderator/admin concerning this. I have noticed something very concerning and think it needs to be addressed. Thank you.

    Sweet adaab

    Salaam my brothers and sisters, Recently I have been dismayed to read threads spiral into insults and tempers, it has gotten to the point that I no longer come here as much due to the negativity. I have been disgusted to read words such as "retard, stupid, idiot, etc.," when Muslim brothers...

    A reminder to all Muslims

    Salaam, Remember these warnings: 1. Most of us are not scholars and have no business pretending to be, remember that if you claim to know something and misguide someone, those words may take you to the hellfire. 2. Keep your temper and pride in check, sometimes the discussions here...

    Male dresscode

    Salaam, There is often a superfocus on how females should dress in Islam on this board but I rarely see anything regarding our brothers. I was reading up on the latest fatwas and found a fairly well written fatwa regarding this very subject. I found it quite enlightening and insh'Allah, so...
