This is probably the most I have engaged in a podcast. I am someone with a strong background in science, but nothing can combine every single aspect from this world (and beyond) like religion does. It's truly a sole purpose, and a fulfilling one. I am halfway through the podcast as I type this. However, I can't help but wonder how do Muslims, who have this amount of knowledge given to them and being so accessible, still treat people so unkindly? I have seen many individuals who I know have either abused someone or hurt them engage in this post and even share it, pretending to be good Muslims without ever repenting. I hope this remains as an eye-opening discussion that makes someone admit their wrongdoings and become aware of the huge punishment that they will receive. Judge yourself before you judge others. MH?,(reply>), @Malik Al-Malik There are bad seeds within every community; this is something everyone has to establish at some point in life. However, my genuine concern is those who pretend to be faithful Muslims 'hypocrites', proceeding to categorize themselves as practicing Muslims. They are given this amount of knowledge that has been readily accessible to them, they listen to it, and yet they choose to be ignorant. They are continuously tainting the good Muslim name under the impression that they are good themselves. Nevertheless, I guess this is something we already know, but it's so disheartening I must say. "Allāh has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment." [Al Baqarah 2: Verse 7],(reply>), Ben I think unfortunately you just happen to run into the extreme minority of Muslims who know Islam but doesn't practice it. I think you just need a more representative more genuine experience and communication with practicing average Muslims. The vast majority of Muslims are kind and humble people, always trying to do good.,(reply>), @nida imtiaz I was mostly trying to insinuate the idea that even with full awareness of the Islamic rulings, some still decide to act unjustly and as hypocrites. Therefore, it is knowing and yet choosing to ignore that is the issue.<br><br>Allah SWT forgives any act that came from ignorance or shortcomings when it was a matter between you and Him Almighty. If you, however, have extended physical or emotional damage and caused suffering to another individual FULLY aware of the consequences, then, as a Muslim, this is one of the greatest sins. <br><br>I would like to offer my help in explaining concepts of things that you may not necessarily have knowledge of if you would like. <br><br>We are all sinners in a way, but let your shortcomings be limited to what is between you and God, and don't let that become a three-way thing where you eat and sleep fully aware of the damage you have left someone with. <br><br>May Allah SWT forgive us all.,(reply>), Muslims are all over the world, but the Quran is in Arabiya (old arabic). Most don't read. Some don't understand what they read. As a Muslim, I can tell you that I didn't practice, follow Islam before, as I didn't understand it. my influence was movies and music. I recently started looking into it, and I am ashamed of not knowing, doing all the things I did in my time of ignorance. I hope Allah forgives me. Now I will try to be better.
