The I-SOC (Islamic Society) (XI)

Speak of the devil and (s)he shall appear

Cheers broski Yeah, I hope to keep it on the hush for as long as possible inshaAllah

What happened again, did they notice you weren't eating and then you admitted it to them or..?

Btw are you coming to my uni next year? (You can tell who the gossip girl is ) If you are going to do the same course as me, I still have my first year text book in good condition if you want that as opposed to forking out like £30 for a new one

devils not real tho

whats your plan for fasting then?

Hopefully you will, it is gonna be hard though. If you manage to get out the house for most of the day, it could be okay for a few days, I guess. Are you gonna be able to go for Taraweeh at night time? or will that be too suspicious?

Yeahh, basically. My parents came to my room a couple of times during the day and asked if I wanted to eat anything, to which I replied no and then in the evening they had figured it out already, so I just told them etc.

I'm not sure, depends on results. But nahh, not doing your course. Thank you though

Even my mum believes in a devil of sorts
To explain the case of devils and jinn (which are like 'spirits' of sorts):
To a non-muslim, the concept would seem strange and as such it would be rejected - like what proof is there apart from those who believe in them saying that they have had experiences? How come non-muslims seldom talk of such experiences? Well, for the sake of simplicity, let's say that most jinn are bad (this mightn't be the case in reality, but Allah knows best). What would a bad jinn want to do? A bad jinn would be trying to lead those who believe or are inclined to believe astray, so what is the point of a jinn presenting itself to a non-muslim who doesn't believe anyway? Jinn/devils are things which we believe in but don't know too much about and don't really need to know much about since interaction rarely happens, it's just something we believe because Allah says that He has made them, and they exist on this world parallel to us but we cannot perceive it

Yeah, I might go and 'visit my friend' some days during Ramadhan and make the most of that time out of the house I can't go and do taraweeh at a mosque - nearest mosque is in the town next to me and I don't really have that freedom to go out at night and just do whatever and come home

I might not be able to risk fasting at times, so I will have to just eat when they tell me too, avoiding it when I can, but we'll see... Was that all in one day or over several days?

Oh yeah, I forgot, you are changing course too (gossip girl again ). Good luck and I really hope you get the results you want inshaAllah

lool! why dont you give your mummyji dawah too??

Islam lessons on TSR now too

igy. are they like ghosts? or are ghosts different?

It's not a very good position to be in, I just hope your parents don't go crazy. Do you think they will be relatively alright? You can leave Taraweeh for now, I guess. What about breaking your fast?

That was all on the first day, but they were annoyed for a while. I tended to go out for iftar with my friends or to their houses. That also annoyed my parents but it could have been a hell of a lot worse, so I am thankful that they weren't too bad. I have heard of people that weren't as lucky as I was, and I hope yours isn't as bad either.

what else has she told you? and I didn't do your course the first time I went to uni anyway Thank you, I hope you get the results you need at uni too

Does anybody know any websites or youtube channels that refute the criticisms given against Islam?

Like:

quran-errors.blogspot.co.uk

It's hard to even approach matters of religion with my maa anyway let alone the matters of another religion 'Why are you taking my peace away? Shanti, kuttiyeh, shanti, my serh is starting to hurt'

I said I would help you on the Isoc too

We don't believe in ghosts - like deceased spirits of former living people flying about - rather they might be at most jinn taking the form of people to cause mischief, but I guess they are somewhat similar in the respect that they don't conform to the physical limitations of how we live here, instead having their own limitations in their parallel existence (which are unknown to us)

shantii kuttiyeh eh? your mum also thinks your a girl

i asked my mum last week, (thinking about you when i asked ) what would she do if i left my religion and didnt believe in God? and she was like id be upset and tell you God is real - typical mum style. and then she looked at me and was like but i know i wont be in that position because i now you wont. shes right obvs. was gonna ask her what shed do if i converted but decided against that cus i think that would have been pushing it

after exams tho innit you might as well start now tho

so i believe in ghosts and stuff- but no ghostys like that in Islam. what are angels, like whats their role? correct me if im wrong etc

x

They will get annoyed for sure - like my uncle had a chat with me when my mum told him that I had read the Quran; more like a lecture of 'why are you learning their stuff and not your own' etc I will do taraweeh and try to do all the stuff as much and as normally as I can but from the comfort of home

Nothing else tbh lol, we have been talking only on and off because we have both been busy...
I feel so out of the loop and like my understanding of reality is crumbling around me - what course did you do the Cheers

Ahh lol. All I can say is that I hope it goes decently well. You can't expect them to just be like 'yeah, that's cool'.

I bet the other stuff is about her being annoyed with me or something so you don't wanna say it. I am surprised I am important enough to be talked about, to be honest.

I did maths, and then you probably know the rest of the story.

Yeah, the best case and worst case scenarios are still relatively bad

Nah nah, she has never said anything bad about you, legit Usually it's about her being annoyed with me in fact

Sorta know the story - like the rough story. So will you be living out here first year or commuting?

Btw, over one year and one conversion later, I found the version of a shabad that I was looking (evidently) ages for
