Asalam Alaikum! Friends, if you are doing business with people and not giving to charity, than what is the purpose of life? When someone is in need, we must be able to give. Even in food pantries we must give as well. But having a tactic to get food is not the way to go. There are people who are poor and doesn't have anything to offer. So many times when I ask for help, no one is able to do it. I don't care if you have a business for the poor. Never ever do hidden surprises to the people who has nothing!!! Give to the poor!!! Allah will bless you when you do it.
Hey. Just one question for reverts.!
What is the most thing in Islam made you decide that you will convert? 🥹
What is even sadder today is seeing some women become extremely arrogant and narcissistic, to the point of looking down on a man before even seriously talking to him or taking the time to truly know him. Does that really make sense? How can someone judge or disrespect another person based only on a picture, a few words, or a superficial first impression?
A man deserves at least basic human respect. Get to know the person first, discover his mindset, values, and the way he speaks and treats others. And if after that you notice disrespect, bad manners, or inappropriate behavior, then yes, you have every right to reject him or even think badly of him.
But looking down on someone from the very beginning, without any real reason, simply because he does not fit superficial standards or an illusion of perfection, only shows how cold and ego-driven society has become today.

Who do you think won this debate ?
Sometimes I really do not like being asked about my “revert story.” I know it is a common question and I know some people find revert stories inspirational, but I do not think people always realize what they are actually asking.
A lot of people find religion during the worst periods of their lives, rock bottom, trauma, loss, isolation, or some combination of all of it. Then a complete stranger asks them to reopen the most vulnerable and life changing chapter of their life for conversation.
And those traumatic events or difficult situations do not magically disappear after conversion. Healing is still happening. The struggle is still there. Some wounds are still fresh.
It has not even been a year for me. Not even 6 months... I'm sorry if I am not open about life altering events with a complete stranger.
