Fuhad

I also have a sister who is a Christian. I even have an uncle who is an "Araba", if you know what that title means in traditional idol worship. They know my red lines. Yet out of all of us in the family, they are closer to me than anyone else, and I have been of more benefit to them in their lives. Part of the jokes my sister cracks at family gatherings is calling me "Alfa Tirimithiyu" because she says I am quick to quote Hadith lol. That is by the way, though. Still, none of them will ever ask me to step over my faith's boundaries, because respect goes both ways. Nobody is asking Yorubas to fight their relatives over religion. The lines in Islam are not blurry, so stop trying to blur them in the name of culture.  Look at how wide the door of family kindness is: you can visit your non-Muslim siblings at home, send them money, pay their school fees and bills, buy them gifts, attend their weddings and naming receptions, sit and eat together at family gatherings, care for them in the hospital when they are sick, help them build their businesses, shelter them, defend them from injustice, and stand by them when life gets hard. The list is infinitely uncountable. Compared to all of that, what you cannot do is very small: do not sit inside their church service, do not pray in Jesus's name, do not join traditional shrine festivals, and do not participate in any act of worship that contradicts Tawheed. Simple. So ask yourself, why do people ignore the ninety-nine lawful ways to love their family and hang onto the one forbidden line of shirk just to call it "tolerance"? It is now obvious Shaitan is hiding behind that word. Just like he promised in the Quran to ambush human beings from their front, back, right, and left, he now dresses up compromise as love and family peace. I pray the Almighty counts us among His protected servants who see through the traps and whispers of Shaitan. Allah knows best.

“Don’t fight for God. God is enough to fight for Himself” - lol 😂 Every time this lazy line starts trending, people nod along without understanding basic Islamic theology. Let me clear this up so nobody gets tangled up.  First of all, nobody is rescuing Allah. Allah is Self-Sufficient and All-Powerful. In Surah Muhammad (47:4), Allah tells us plainly that if He willed, He could punish every disbeliever Himself in an instant, yet He commands believers to strive so He can test us. Right after that in Surah Muhammad (47:7), Allah says: "If you support Allah, He will support you." What does this really mean? Supporting Allah means standing up for His religion, His Book, and His Messenger. Allah does not need your defense; you are the one who needs that honor on your scale of deeds on Judgment Day. Again, it is also important we separate lawlessness from spinelessness. If Buhari Omo Musa meant a random Muslim on the street must not pick up sticks or lynch someone who insults God, that is 100% Islam. Jungle justice has zero place in the Sharia, and even in Makkah when people mocked the revelation to the Prophet's face, Muslims did not attack civilians in the streets. This is a fact. However, critics love clapping for clips like this because they want Muslims to be mute, passive, and stripped of protective jealousy (Ghayrah) for their faith. In Surah An-Nisa (4:140), Allah forbids believers from sitting comfortably where His verses are mocked, warning that sitting silently makes you like them. Muslims on this app need to read this verse (4:140) and ponder on it. And during the life of the Prophet (peace be upon him), when poets slandered Allah and Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not shrug and say "God will fight for Himself." Instead, he told Hassan ibn Thabit to answer them line for line, assuring him Angel Jibril was backing him up as long as he defended Allah and His Messenger.  Islam rejects street violence. Islam also rejects spiritual cowardice. We do not take the law into our hands, and we will never fold our arms watching ignorant people drag our faith just to look "woke" and acceptable to outsiders. We defend Islam with superior knowledge, clear proof, and bold speech. Nobody is doing Allah a favor; Allah is doing us a favor by allowing us stand for truth. Allah knows best.
