That is a very good question sister Mirajmom. There is so much going on in the world and other things we can talk about to challenge our brains.So what are we waiting for?

Assalamu-alaikum

I think what aapa (mirajmom) meant is that somehow we are totally consumed by few or very limited topics.
Aapa I was talking to a Doctor who is a psychologist and we were discussing about faith and how is it very important that people should be united ideologically to bring about any change in any way.
We (the Ummah as a whole) are not at same frequencies and the result is a compromised religion which we try to adjust according to the circumstances but when I look back at the Jama'at of Rasul-Allah SAW they were the people who worked hard and made the circumstances adjust according to them.
May Allah bring us all together, strengthen us and help us stand up again.

Yes, I agree we are posting some nonsense. I love this site. However, we are stuck. We need to regain our focus. One of the purposes of Muslims being together is for the purpose of knowledge. Otherwise it is nothing but banter. We need to center our selves and become creative again. We need inspiration. So let us get back to the good stuff.

I wish I was not part of the nonsense, but I am guilty!
When I first would come here...it sucked me in. All the topics, the answers, everything was educational. I learned more in the first month of being on TTI than ever.
Now, I have to agree that it seems to have taken a different road. One that I am guilty of going down.
Insha'Allah things will change for the better. I really don't like all this bickering back and forth. AGAIN, something I am guilty of as well. May Allah forgive me! :shymuslima1:

quite right
:salam2:
Sister Mirajmom is quite right,
we have different forums covering different issues, these forums should focus on islam, on the other hand people have different views, e.g the lounge is for everything but here it shouldnt be for aurguments but, for learning different aspects of our beautiful religion.
i hope we really try to do a better job, even though am also guilty of some of the above.
Sister mirajmom i think every time we all get off point you should ring the bell.

No wonder why some people are leaving TTI, I myself am a fairly new member, if the current trend continues, Im afraid I'll be out the door as well. I have to get this out of my chest, some people are so pathetic (and you know who you are), they can't express themselves but in the cruelist ways. Can I just remind those people that this website is called Turn To Islam, not turn to your desires and inner beast. We have some people claiming ALL muslims are so darn rude, makes me wonder how nice they are, we have people ordering us in the harshest manner about being gentle, and we also have some others judging us based upon a single word, a word that was twisted out of context...
If you can't be civilised, then that's that's ok, we'll negotiate our differences on the Day of Judgement with Allah sw as our Judge.

Tolerance is a beautiful word in every language and according to every culture. On a personal level, the word is often used to convey the idea of pardoning someone who does something wrong to you, transgresses against you, or differs with you in an inappropriate manner. According to this understanding, it is a great moral value. Its exercise is a moral victory for the spirit of goodness and decency over the spirit of evil that a person might be impelled to give in to.
Tolerance is the basis for the conduct that should govern people’s dealings with one another. A person who persistently rejects tolerance is a person who insists upon causing harm, to himself as well as to others.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) showed tolerance not only towards non-Muslims but also towards the hypocrites whose hypocrisy was blatant and manifest, and whose enmity for Islam was clear. They were an enemy from within the Muslim community. Yet, the Prophet (peace be upon him) pardoned Abû Salûl, one of the leaders of the hypocrites, numerous times. He even visited him when he fell ill. When abû Salûl died, the Prophet (peace be upon him) went down to his grave and dressed him in his own shirt. This was the man who openly abused the Prophet (peace be upon him) by scandalizing his family.
When `Umar saw the Prophet’s conduct, he said: “Are you going to pray his funeral prayer for this man when he did all those things?”
The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied:
“O `Umar, I was given a choice and have chosen. (Allah) says: ‘Seek forgiveness for them or refrain from doing so. If you beseech their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will never forgive them.’ Yet, if I knew that if I were to do so more than seventy times that he would be forgiven, then I would do so.” [Sahîh al-Bukhârî]
Though permission for the Prophet (peace be upon him) to offer prayers for these known hypocrites was later repealed by the verse:
“And never (O Muhammad) pray for one of them who dies, nor stand by his grave.” [Sûrah al-Tawbah: 84]
– the principle of tolerance embodied in his conduct remains.
Once a man came upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) with his sword raised, ready to strike. He sneered: “Who can stop me from killing you now, Muhammad?” Then the sword fell from his hand.
The Prophet (peace be upon him) picked up the sword, and said:
“And now, who can stop me?”
However, he did not harm the man. Instead, he then took the man to his Companions and had him swear a covenant neither to fight against the Prophet nor join with those who fight against him. The clemency and tolerance exhibited by the Prophet (peace be upon him) won the man’s heart.
If you want to know the true value of tolerance and clemency, think about all the wrongs that you have committed towards others. Think about how desperately you need Allah to pardon you.
Allah says:
“Let them forgive and overlook. Do you not wish that Allah should forgive you?” [Sûrah al-Nûr: 22]
This verse was revealed on the occasion where Abû Bakr swore not to provide for Mustah b. Athâthah due to Mustah’s involvement in slandering the Prophet’s family.
Muslim scholars and preachers need to promote this great Islamic principle. Tolerance needs to be promoted and put into practice by all members of society, by people in all walks of life. It needs to be inculcated in those who govern and those who are governed. It needs to be addressed in sermons, in the classroom, and in public lectures. Muslim scholars and preachers, in their conduct, should be living examples of tolerance. They need to inculcate this noble trait in those who listen to them.
We need to speak about tolerance with those who share our views and interests as well as with those who disagree with us and criticize us. We need to show tolerance to them.
Each of us needs to learn how to show some clemency to his or her self. Some people are so distraught by the errors that they have made in the past that they carry the burden of their mistakes and never let go of it. They need to learn to let that burden go and put their past mistakes behind them. Likewise, they need to do the same for others. Learn to give, in charity, some of your dignity to those who wrong you. You will find that your heart will grow for it. You will feel happier. You will sigh with relief and not be so stricken by what they say.

Salaam,
Respected brothers and sisters on I am getting a wee smile on my face. I can see by the responses that I am not the only one. The next question I have is what are three things that we as members of TTI feel are important to focus on.
I apologize for not posting as much. My excuse is the demands of everyday living have me running from pillar to post. I have had little time to think. I am one of those introverts that needs to analyze and contemplate. Lately, I am running to catch up to the dumb things of life. I am going to make a commitment to spend 30 minutes each day to read and think. I have a stack of books and articles...I need to attend to...
All I can say is forgive me...sometimes I get frustrated and lazy. But we have a site here that we all need. We need to raise our level of commitment for is it not written that we need to discuss Islam at all times and under all circumstances. Therein lies our strenght and our hope. Insha'Allah we will grow spritually, intellectually, socially, and increase our membership. May Allah subhana talla reward each and everyone of you.
my love,
your aapa.
