Anyone wanna play "guess that culture"?

But astaghfirullah, i started hating to go, as a guest you either have to buy something that this family is selling (a hijab, or whatever the woman stitches up) or I have to listen to rather rude lectures (you are not allowed to come inside with that shirt the next time and don't wear leather we don't know if it's pig, you know this abbaya looks a bit too nice), or getting pressured into marrying a friend of a friend who wants to desperately get out of his homecountry in northern africa. Been there, done that. I have a caller display, alhamdullillah, and I got somewhat scared to pick up the phone. They might mean it well, but something I need to learn how to deal with first before I go out in the wild wild islamic world... May Allah forgive me these feelings mashallah, here the muslims are very hospitable, and I get invited a lot as well as other muslims and non muslims since i reverted.

Sat, 29 May 2010 14:00:56 +0000 http://muslimmatters.org/?p=15000#comment-67708 Asalamu Alikum warahmatu Allah It was brought to my attention that the last hadeeth quoted in the article was in fact a weak hadeeth: <em>Verily, the worshipper will ascend the higher ranks and superior grades of the hereafter through his good character, even though he is weak in acts of worship.” (Al-Tabarani). (classified by Sheikh Al-Albani rahimahullah as being munkar/weak in his book Assilsila Da\'ifa # 3030)</em> Therefore, It has been removed and replaced with a saheeh hadeeth: <em>"Verily, a man would attain, through his good character, the ranks of someone who stands the night (in prayer and supplication) and fasts the day."</em> May Allah reward the person who pointed this out to us.

I and others tried to point out in the comments that sometimes (or even more often than not) it is not direct "preaching" that will turn people's hearts torwards Islam, but just the presence and good feelings that arise from a Muslim person's good actions in the world. I think this story illustrates that idea so wonderfully. as-salaamu `alaykum
