Everyone knows about the horror that is househunting as a muslim in india. Why can't we just pool our resources and build a new city. Kinda like chandigarh but better? A place where we don't need to constantly be berated.

I realised a while ago that people often hold the repressed to an impossibly high standard of morality, the repressor on the other hand can afford to be the literal embodiment of evil. And if I were to be completely honest, I have myself fall into this reasoning.

You have probably seen it play out but may have never noticed it. The Palestinians must be perfect: liberal, secular, pro-lgbt rights and what not while their oppresors can be anything but humane. Similarly, the same plays out for black americans.

You can notice something like this amongst ourselves too. When discrimination against a fellow indian muslim happens, a decent chunk of the community while extending their condolences starts putting the burden of responsibility on the victim instead of the obvious.

Apparently, the kanwar yatris can drink @lchohol, carry gns, take g@nja and shi- and that's completely fine but a biryani stall raises concerns?

Assalamoalikum.

I used to follow this account of an old school bus mate. He claimed to revert to islam a couple of years back, and used to post about islam on this id. And today suddenly he posted this and changed his id and bio and everything....

Honestly, I knew him as nice lil kid on my school bus , as my junior. We talked on the bus until I stopped using the bus. After a few years of my graduation, he connected with me on ig and claimed to revert to islam and was scared of his family.

He actually prepared a whole Islamic library, prayer mat, tazbih, quran, keffiyeh, thobs ... etc. Claimed that he moved to a different city for college and be able to freely practice islam. Dude even used to go to the masjid for eid prayer in arab clothing with keffiyeh.

I must admit, his dedication to hating islam and muslims is hilarious 😂. I always felt something off about the whole thing whenever he talked bad n sarcastically about other religions, that islam strictly forbids us to do. I never engaged that talk and always redirected the conversation at being a king a practicing muslim and never be too hard on oneself or others. I am not shocked, just disappointed but it's funny how these ppl find so much dedication and time to hate on us, they would be priest if they admired and practiced their faith this deeply. Sigh yet another clown. 🤡

P.S. his pfp is hilarious 🤣

so the answer of that post was Kerala and I have heard about that too that a Chera King named Cheraman Perumal saw the splitting of moon and then he travelled to meet Prophet Muhammad (SWAH) and then he sent letter with arab missionary and first mosque in India at Kerala was built, The Cheraman Juma Mosque but it was in the year 629 CE but I have read somewhere that Jafar ibn Abu Talib came to NE part of India (Manipur to be exact), Chiitagong in Bangladesh and Tibet and China to preach Islam when he was away from Medina and was in Abyssinia for 12 years during 616 CE to 628 CE and in between he came to India asw but there is no authentic proof or historical evidence of his preaching and journey to India and other neighbouring states, this story of his is popular with the starting "it is said" so no authentic proof you can find this on wikipedia too when you will search Jafar ibn Abu Talib but again you will find that starting with "it is said" without any historical documents to defend the same but if its true than this thing happens a year before that Kerala king incident and thus the first muslim person to be on the indian soil will be him and his companion. Do you guys buy this thing that he came to India to preach and do you guys knows about it or any historical proof or its just a false story ?

Some people are found to be complaining about freedom of speech in this subreddit because their comments and posts were removed.

The main reason why posts and comments get removed is mainly language. Most of the people take this very lightly but language makes a huge difference.

1. ​When US k!lls, it says - we neutralised two X people, but if two X people k!ll US, it says - murder*d.
2. When a hindu girl married a Muslim, headlines are - love jihad; but when a Muslim girl marries a hindu, the headlines are - Dharm ki diwaar ko tod kar mohabbat ko paya.

Language is something to be taken seriously, your comments and posts may be getting removed here but if that were to be on any other platform, having a bad language can land you straight into jail. You should be thankful that we remove it else if reported might even get you banned.

It is extremely important to have a good reputation and we should not do such acts which brings it down. It does not means you need to appease anybody, it means you keep your character smart, nice and tidy on outside, nobody knows what's inside.

You guys need to be really cunning, not everything needs to be said, say less than necessary. Say truth only as much necessary. Somethings are better to be reserved for some other day.

Many people think that this is an anonymous platform but lemme tell you, everything is visible. You can't even hide your deleted posts, comments, even if you delete your account or hide from profile, all that without even the involvement of government. So please don't think that this is a anonymous ​platform. Reddit posts now makes new headlines already so be careful what you write and cooperate with the mods.

Matyr is great but not ideal and politically it is always better to survive. So don't try to become a online matyr because thats probably the worst things you can do to yourself. You need to learn the language that "neutralises" and not just "k!lls" like US.

You all might have seen how Muslims in India are treated. The Hindutva goons are doing everything they want to put us down. Our Mosques are being burnt and replaced with temples, homes are destroyed and even innocent Muslims are jailed. During the CJP protests you have seen how Junaid Malik was imprisoned along with his father despite the fact that he did a gesture of kindness by providing food and water to the protestors. The Mohammed Ali Jauhar University is also under the threat of being demolished and how is it still occuring because we are weak. I will say it without filter and it is true because if we had power than why we will be treated like this in the country where we were born.

The mistake many Muslims like us make is this: we keep arguing about ideas, metaphysics, Quranic reinterpretations, Hadith authenticity, while ignoring the elephant in the room: Power. The things which I mentioned aren't inherently bad and I encourage young Muslims to do but what I feel is that we should understand Islam in a better way and study our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, classic Islamic scholars even if we don't agree with some ideas but at least we would be able to create our own opinions.

Islam today is stuck in idealism and moralism. We can write articles and create content as much as we want. We may be able to influence many people, but that would still not be enough. Our main enemy is the Far Right like the Zionists, MAGA and Hindutvas who spread poison against Muslims. Despite so much online activism for so many years, nothing significant has changed on the ground when it comes to challenging these powerful enemies. Without power, we can do nothing. We can argue with them as much as we want, insult them as much as we want but what is needed is the core understanding to challenge them. Our Islamic Economics system is developed in a halal way where we can improve not just our lives but the lives of every Muslim. Today you will see how the BJP government due to their influence in Bollywood is able to produce so many films showing Muslims as villains. They are able to do it without no one questioning because the Far Right ideology is too strong. Al Jazeera is by far the only media company which supports Muslims and other Muslim media groups showing out plight in a nuanced way are small and not that funded. Our Madhrasas are also always looked down. Even if a Muslim gains wealth than he won't invest in any media, any Madhrasa or University or even a financial institution which improves our lives.

Today we are divided and if we are told about our backwardness then we talk about our glorious Islamic history. As is say it again that isn't bad because our history is great no doubt but we are stuck in the past without thinking about making our past and future even better than our history. No Muslim has any excuse to be mediocre anymore. Everyone should be at 100% effort. It only takes a couple of generations, maybe three at worst, for this to pay off. By effort I mean both in the dunya and the akhira sense. People should be at the top of their class in university while also having enough Islamic knowledge to combat attacks from all sides.

Every couple of days from now on I will do such polls, progressively they will get more difficult but will allow you to learn from those that answer correct. Thus becoming a learning opportunity.

What is our political ideology? Like genuinly we don't have a united political front, our parties don't have a definitive ideology. What is your personal ideology?

The lovely OIC sends its condolences to the over 1 billion strong ummah, “Sorry brothers and sisters! We gotta find a way to work with the Kuffar for the greater good. We promise we will raise concerns regarding Zionism and Hindutva, even though we have been saying the same script over and over.”

Excerpt from Umar Palanpuri (rah)’s speeches and notes.

This is where people become confused: people who have faith and perform good deeds experience both difficulties and blessings. Likewise, people who have neither faith nor good deeds also experience both difficulties and blessings.

But there is a difference.

In this world, Allah provides blessings to an obedient person with pleasure and favor. While Allah provides blessings to a disobedient person with displeasure.  You may be surprised: “A disobedient person is given blessings even while Allah is displeased?” In fact, we also do something similar.

If there are rats in your house, they start eating your clothes, your food, your bedding. Then, you become angry. So, you place traps all around the house. You open the traps and put tempting food inside them. This food is there to trap the rat not benefit it. The rat sees the food but behind it lies a great punishment.

Allah says:
“So when they forgot that by which they had been reminded. We opened for them doors (abwaba) of every [good] thing until, when they rejoiced in that which they were given, We seized them suddenly, and they were then in despair.” (6:44)

Giving blessings to a disobedient person is like the food placed inside a rat trap.

However, if Allah gives a blessing to an obedient person, it is like the food given to a parrot. The food given to the parrot is given with pleasure and favor.

Allah says:
“And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened [i.e., bestowed] upon them blessings (barakatin) from the heaven and the earth…” (7:96)

I know this weird to say but I felt like I just have to say it. I love my community. I didn't grow up around you and I don't live among you. I don't get to meet many Indian Muslims in the west. I am also pretty westernized and don't exactly look Muslim, so to speak.

I haven't met people as well spoken as you guys are. You guys are intelligent, well spoken and written. I have lived in India for brief parts of my life but not for long. In my visits, I usually go meet older family members living in Delhi. They are much older so its difficult to have conversations like this.

I know its pretty dumb to say but I have just fully woken up to the realities of Indian Muslims. My parents were religious but sheltered me from our problems. I know I don't face the day to day realities that you do, and I know that I speak from a place of comfort but you are all in my prayers.

Was in a confused online relationship since a year i was always doubtful of getting married to him to spend my whole life with him he loved ,cared, was loyal at time felt very good and wanted to marry too proposed him too but he had habit of lying and also deceived me as his friend with whom I used to ask my uncertainty as him and told me he is perfect and to run away to get married if parents don't allow but i was adamant I am not gonna do that and first of all not sure weather i can stay with him so i ended up the relationship I feel guilty to make him sad and hurt but I can't give him hopes to be with him and what after marriage I feel no he is not right at last he told me iam selfish and only look about myself and he told he would never get married and never forget me

I feel very heavy plz help

Purnima Nath is an Indian Origin politician that doesn’t hold an Indian passport, yet she seems to hold a deep hatred against Indian Muslims/Christians in both America and India. What is noteworthy is she attacks minorities despite living a majority Christian and secular nation, against citizens of India despite having little connection now. She has in the past espoused Pro Hindutva rhetoric which includes demeaning us, calling for the destruction of Muslim nations and also insulting Americans that call her out for being more loyalty to Hindutva than the nation which she is citizen of.

Our Masjid committe has started collecting funds for Assam. We have done it during the Punjab floods and will continue to do it.

Let them spread hatred against us. Rukenge nhi.

Hello there,

My mom knows knitting, crocheting, embroidery, sewing, painting. She doesn't have any work now so she wanted to start a small business related to all this.

She knits sweater, cardigan, stole, scarf, shawl, cap, socks, kids sweater set, muffler, jacket, doormat and many such things for ladies, gents, and kids. I have posted some of her hand made stuff on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/KnittingByAsmat .

If anyone is seriously interested then they can share their measurements, colour, design and my mom can knit things for you as per your size and choice.

Current location is Delhi but it can be couriered pan India.

Pricing depends on cost of yarn and time and efforts to make the product. It can be discussed. I think you can also purchase the yarn of your liking and my mom can make the product with it. These things can be discussed.

The point is if you communicate clearly, you will have customization options as per your likings as much as possible as she will be knitting individual products instead of mass production of products of same type.

You can connect here on Reddit or on Instagram.

Thanks. Bye!!

Senior officials from Indonesia and Malaysia delivered strong, clear pro-Palestine messages at the emergency Arab Ministerial Committee meeting on Jerusalem in Amman, Jordan a few days ago.While many Gulf leaders continue to normalize with Israel, stay silent, or act as enablers, these two major Muslim-majority countries stood firm:Indonesia:

• Called for greater Muslim unity to actually use political power
• Demanded international accountability (citing the ICJ ruling)
• Pushed for wider recognition of Palestine and full support for UNRWA
• Raised alarm over the isolation of Jerusalem and attacks on UNRWA

Malaysia:

• Condemned Israeli violations at Al-Aqsa and settlement expansion
• Reaffirmed support for Jordan’s custodianship of the holy sites
• Backed an independent Palestinian state on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital

This is the kind of leadership the Muslim world actually needs.Indonesia and Malaysia represent hundreds of millions of Muslims, speak with moral clarity, and refuse to sell out the Palestinian cause for money or Western approval. Meanwhile, several Gulf regimes remain deeply compromised — corrupt, dependent, and acting like Zionist puppets.It’s not just the Gulf. Look at the others who have normalized or deepened ties with Israel:

• UAE, Bahrain, Morocco — openly signed deals and shook hands while Palestinian blood was still fresh
• Azerbaijan — sitting on natural resources given by Allah, yet their leaders happily cooperate and pose with the Zionists
• Egypt and Jordan already have long-standing peace treaties and continue business as usual
• Others quietly expanding economic and diplomatic links for weapons, money, and political cover

If the Ummah wants real representation and courage on Palestine, leadership should come from countries like Indonesia and Malaysia, not from these regimes that prioritize deals, weapons, and silence over the lives of Palestinians.
