Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels

I have this weird self-esteem issue where I hate myself but I still think I’m better than everybody else.

In my 2 years career as a photographer (I've covered & helped covered numerous weddings), these are the first couples I've seen that stopped a whole event just to go and pray. May Allah bless your union. HML Sagir & Afaf. #Respect

The question is, are you a man driven by feelings, or a man driven by character?

Whenever I see topics regarding crisis in marriages, I simply pray to not be tested, regardless of who’s at fault.

No one stands high enough for me to use as a yardstick for my marriage. The ‘every man’ or ‘every woman’ rubbish doesn’t work for me.

I’d marry once and right ISA

Damn. Life kenan fa 😄

I'm only human.
I'm just a man.
And too bad I'm a coward. If not, what is death that I wouldn't just embrace it with open arms?

Why do you choose everyone else over yourself? Why are you desperate to be the good guy?

My favorite Qur’an reciter is my mom. and wallahi, nothing comes close.
Every day after Asr, she would sit on her prayer mat and recite, and the whole house would go quiet, not because we were told to, but because her voice would calm everything inside us.

After Isha, she would gather us in the living room and teach us the Qur’an. One page every week, and on Sunday we would give hadda. If you failed you already knew there was punishment with house chores. No one ever wanted to fail, Because if you did, you’d be stuck doing chores, and my siblings would tease you for the whole week But today, I’d do anything just to fail again and hear her correct me one more time🥹😭

My dad used to say whenever she recited, he would listen until he fell asleep.

Until she passed away and left us in this world, and the house has never sounded the same. May Allah grant her Jannatul Firdaus and forgive her shortcomings. Ameen ya Rabb🥹😭🤲🏾

I find this funny because the speaker is quite ignorant. At the same time, I am compelled not to ignore it so she doesn't spread this virus to unsuspecting Muslims out there, since misinformation spreads like wildfire, especially on this app.

For that reason, I will be doing both a clarification and a refutation of her ignorant takes on who Prophet Isa (Jesus) represents and how the Quran describes him. For your information, this refutation will be solely from the same Quran she claimed drove her out of Islam.

She started by making a big deal out of the Quran calling Jesus a Word from God and a Spirit from Him, specifically quoting Surah An-Nisa verse 171. The funniest part is that the answer to her claim is in that very same verse.

Right after mentioning the Word and the Spirit, Allah warns directly: "So believe in Allah and His messengers. And do not say, 'Three'; desist, it is better for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son." She conveniently ignored the part of the verse that destroys the Trinity concept she is trying to preach. This is intellectual dishonesty mixed with misguidance.

If she understood the Quran, she would know the "Word" is the command "Kun" which means (Be). Jesus was created by this spoken command because he had no human father. Allah explains this in Surah Ali 'Imran verse 59. The likeness of Jesus before Allah is like that of Adam. Allah created Adam from dust, then said to him "Be", and he was. If being created by a direct command makes someone God, then Adam has a much bigger claim to divinity because he had neither a father nor a mother.

Plus, Surah Al-Kahf verse 109 tells us that if the ocean were ink for the words of my Lord, the ocean would dry up before the words of my Lord are exhausted. This means God's words are infinite commands of creation, not a single human being.

To make it even clearer regarding her claim about the "Spirit", Allah tells us in Surah Sad verse 72 that He formed Adam and breathed into him of His created spirit. If having God's spirit breathed into you makes you a deity, then by her logic, Adam would be God too.

In fact, both she and I, and every human walking this earth, have a spirit from God. Surah As-Sajdah verse 9 tells us that God forms the human and breathes into him of His created spirit. It is the command of God that formed us into what we are. I know she does not know that, and this is why she and her likes should know that having a spirit from God is proof you are a creation, not the Creator.

She then spent a lot of time hyping up the title Al-Masih, the Messiah. She claimed the Quran gives this only to Jesus, so it must mean he is the divine savior who pays for sins.

The Quran shuts this down heavily in Surah Al-Ma'idah verse 75. It says the Messiah, son of Mary, was no more than a messenger, many messengers passed away before him, and his mother was a supporter of truth, they both used to eat food. Just think and reflect at how Allah makes the point. God does not need to eat food to survive. The title Messiah means the Anointed One, a noble prophet sent specifically to the Children of Israel.

Her next point was quoting Surah Maryam verse 19, where the angel says he will give Mary a pure boy. She uses this to say Jesus is the only sinless person and therefore the savior. This shows she did not read the full chapter.

Just a few verses earlier in Surah Maryam verse 13, Allah describes Prophet Yahya (John) and says He gave him compassion and purity, and he was God-fearing. Just so you know, all prophets are pure and protected from major sins. It is a standard trait of prophethood in Islam, not a unique badge of divinity.
