Salaam lovelies,
Wow, this started off as reporting that a woman and her daughter got stoned to death and shot. Everybody went off in all kinds of crazy directions, and suddenly there were like three arguments going on at once.
My first thought was WHY WAS THE DAUGHTER KILLED????
Islam is a faith of variation in practice. We all don't have the same knowledge about the same issues or hadith or sunnah, so we can't all be on the same page. Don't yell at someone because they didn't know something specifically. Love your neighbor.
And let's be honest, just because something is reported, doesn't mean squat. Media, government, military groups, organizations, etc., usually don't tell the truth, or at least not the entire truth, so the fact that WE are arguing about the Taliban is silly. Unless you are over there in Iran, you don't know what's going on. And what happens in one family in Iran isn't exactly the same as another family.
Astaghfirullah. We have no right to make generalizations about ANYTHING. Allah (swt) knows best, and I'll be honest, to me, this is disappointing. I know you probably don't care, but I came to this site, a convert, to learn about Islam, not to watch people have petty arguments about things we shouldn't be discussing because we have no idea first hand what has really happened, and thus, we have no proof. A website is not proof. Wikipedia is not proof. Third hand accounts are not proof.
The Prophet (saws) said that if a person had nothing good to say, it was best to remain silent. Attacking one another is not good. It is not peace, it is not understanding, it is not Islam.
I pray you will not let Shaytan tempt you into thinking negative thoughts about your brothers and sisters in Islam, and especially the kufr. Think of how sad it must be for them, to not know what we know, to maybe not have the chance to experiencing paradise like insha'Allah we will. We are all human beings, creations of Allah (swt). We REALLY need to start acting like it. Give everyone and anyone you come across, and Allah (swt) will deal with the rest. This is the promise.
