Muslim Tropers, Join Up!

Hello, multifandom Malaysian Muslimah here :D

Hello, Indonesian Muslim here :)

Heya! I'm also a Muslim Indonesian. Nice to see ya', Libre.

Eid Mubarak, everybody!

Thank you! :D Eid Mubarak to everyone as well ^^

Question: What is Eid Mubarak?

A day of celebration, signifying the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting, which is when you try to swear off food and water from a time early in the morning until the second-to-last prayer of the day.

Cool.

Have a good one!

So, what schools of Islam is everybody in? My parents are Sudanese so I'm pretty vanilla, I think: Sunni from the Maliki school.

Hm, my school teaches academics as well as Islam, if that's what you mean. Like a normal school but it's an Islamic school.

While I do understand the existence of slightly different madhabs, I'm frankly not a fan of a one Islam having "branches" if you catch my drift. Though I believe that Sunni is the closest thing to the actual religion anyway.

Anywho, now to the reason why I'm posting here:

Happy Eid-ul-Adha everyone! 🎉🐐🐄

Right, happy Eid.

How early does everybody wake up to get to the Masjid on time? I heard there were three separate times for prayer on Eid.

Ello ello! Singaporean Muslim troper here!

Eid Mubarak, buds.

Also, this is my first here, so I should introduce myself; I'm British-Pakistani and, of course, a Muslim.

Hai, semua! Malaysian Muslim here.

Hello new Muslim tropers, it's nice to meet you all! 👋👋👋 I hail from Malaysia as well! :D

Eid Mubarak, everyone!

Hey everyone! African muslim here!

Hey there! Welcome! 👋 :D

Yo! Welcome to our humble abode!

Curious question: how genuinely does everybody listen to the sermons at Friday prayers? Very closely or does it go into one ear then leave a few seconds later?

Man, I have not heard a Friday khutbah in ages. Probably because I'm not obligated to visit mosques for the Friday prayer anyway (🧕), and maybe also because pandemic. Doesn't excuse me from listening to them elsewhere though (online or likewise), I should do a lot more of that.

The more intently, the better, I suppose.

Happy 10th day of Ramadhan! The most blessed month on the Islamic lunar calendar! Recently finished my Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) of cornflakes and dates (and water lol).

I kinda inadvertently abstained from this site as well for a while 😅, I've been busier offline.

Just a bit of Islamic trivia; firstly noting that "Siyam" or "Sawm" (fasting in Ramadhan) is one of the 5 pillars of Islam, and that it (the Arabic word: صيام) moreso means "abstain" - to restrain oneself (from doing something) ^note (hence my current relationship status being "Abstaining". Intercourse is a fast-breaker anyway.).

Muslims abstain from more than just food and water (those of us who are well enough/able to do so, that is). We also refrain from sinning (as we're meant to on normal days too) and other things that may break the fast.

Another bit of trivia is that (most) devils are chained up during Ramadhan, which is awesome but what's also sobering about it is how it's most likely ourselves inclining towards a sin or bad habit instead of the devil's whispering. On the plus side though, that realisation may help in the mentality to change for the better. The opportunity of Ramadhan should be taken as a chance of a turning point in life rather than a break. May Allah bless us immensely this Ramadhan and help us improve ourselves, ameen.

I'm surprised no one yet mentioned that it's Ramadhan here, but I'll assume the best - that they're off doing more ibaadah instead lol

Hey guys! Im not the most religous of people, but i feel like i need to warn people about this.

There's this person named "Sarah Ali" putting dark magic as quran recitings, theres a video explaining this in further detail cause im too scared to watch it myself.

Please, DO NOT watch a quran reciting made by a creator named Sarah Ali.

Think I might've glanced such a case over on Instagram a while ago but I didn't look into it. Don't have much to say besides "Yeah, that's messed up."

Eid Mubarak, everyone!
