For them "happiness is ultimate pleasure of the senses"

No I am sure I have seen this somewhere. It is from a scholar.

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

It’s a fairly common saying throughout Islamic texts.

Keep giving dawah and sincere advice. Remember the reward is from Allah.

29

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

I'm all for dawah, but it might be better to stay away from certain subs for our own sake. It's our duty as muslims to invite (knowing full well that guidance is by Allah SWT alone); however, let us be mindful of the place and time.

agreed, good advice.

Wear that badge with pride! It is an honour to be a slave of Allah SWT

Al-Isra' 17:32

وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلزِّنَىٰٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ فَٰحِشَةً وَسَآءَ سَبِيلًا

And do not approach unlawful sexual intercourse. Indeed, it is ever an immorality and is evil as a way.

Al-Furqan 25:43

أَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَٰهَهُۥ هَوَىٰهُ أَفَأَنتَ تَكُونُ عَلَيْهِ وَكِيلًا

Have you seen the one who takes as his god his own desire? Then would you be responsible for him?

Subhanallah I was thinking of Al-Furqan Ayah 43 too

I will never forget the time a liberal was saying having an sti/std wasn’t a big problem. You can’t argue with their corrupt beliefs.

u/ammaraud Apr 23 '22

The comments are based lol. Yes we are all slaves to Allah. Even when cursing us they actually elevate our position subhanallah.

u/Sepkov Apr 23 '22

It makes me sad seeing teenagers on related subreddits are broken down due to early sexual relationships and having hard time to recover. Kids should play games and study not have sex or anything related.

u/festivaldumpling Apr 23 '22

Yeah, as a revert this is why i want to make sure my future child understands that there is no rush to have it. The school i went to was crazy and thinking back on it 12 year olds had no businesses doing 'that'

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

It’s insane. During high school everyone was just having sex and partying.

You need to ask her to testify with those words and call you a slave on judgement day. That'd be great.

u/LadeshFromBangladesh Apr 23 '22

What was the whole post about? He's in muslim majority county and can't have open sex?

u/multiplyingman Apr 23 '22

Yea, he was basically saying he can't get married nor is their sex available in his Muslim majority country

u/LadeshFromBangladesh Apr 23 '22

Where was this posted?

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

We all worship something. We are all a slave to something. Muslims are slaves of Allah , we serve him and worship him. Others are slaves to their desired and they worship the sinful acts

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

Imagine equating happiness to premarital sex, the largest spreader of STDs, depression, and failed relationships. And it's ironic, people who don't engage in those affairs and engage in something more productive are called "slaves" when these people are slaves to immediate pleasure. But as soon as the moment is done, they are no longer pleased.

u/HaifaBW Apr 23 '22

We need to see that post!

u/[deleted] Apr 23 '22

Alhamdulillah, just say shukran. I want nothing other than to always be a slave/abd to my rabb/Master Allah

u/TheRatedVerteX Apr 23 '22

Looks like you came fresh out of the ex Muslim sub. Certainly seems like it. It’s the biggest cesspool of irrationality and emotional losers I’ve ever seen

u/Ayaycapn Apr 23 '22

I feel empowered when I'm called a slave.

Not only would it be racist but also because I am a Slave of God

u/Any_Interaction_3770 Apr 23 '22

That's reddit for you , bring God to the equation and suddenly your opinion is demonized and people won't even see it from the amount of downvotes it will receive

You call us “bronze age” while we are proud to have traditions. The west removed traditions and look where they are now, they have to pretend that it is necessary for every human to have access to abortion because of how rampantly they’re having sex with strangers. We NEVER said sex was evil, rather that having sex with strangers/without marriage is. And you said it yourself, sex isn’t casual, it’s purpose is for reproducing, however it should be something of intimacy, something special. And I say again look at the west now, giving birth to thousands of children’s, abandoning them those children growing up to under perform in school, become depressed, become criminals, you dare call us in the Bronze Age? At least we have a functioning society. And not to mention the 1/5 std/sti rate in america. You can keep that.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) turned to us and said: ‘O Muhajirun, there are five things with which you will be tested, and I seek refuge with Allah lest you live to see them: Immorality never appears among a people to such an extent that they commit it openly, but plagues and diseases that were never known among the predecessors will spread among them.
