How to not regret the past…

In Islam there is a concept of taqdeer that helps a person not regret the mistakes of his past. Allah has written down the deeds of every person before he or she sets foot on earth so whatever a person does in this life is already written for him in book whether good or bad. Whatever we are doing now and will do in the future it was already in Allah’s knowledge when we were in our mother’s wombs. Knowing this helps a person not regret the past because he or she realizes that nothing different could ever have happened.

What is the laanat (curse) of Allah?

The curse of Allah as mentioned in the Qur’an happens to people when they go against their fitra their natural disposition on which Allah created them. It is the result of the God being angry with them. Sins such as watching TV invite the curse of Allah. As a result the person loses whatever little noor (light) he she has, this loss of light causes a person to become more deaf, blind and dumb. Sins or bad actions (sayyiat) such as useless talking, TV, sports, masturbation, shaving the beard etc invite the curse of Allah. Good actions (hasanaat) such as prayer, fasting, eating natural food, giving food to others (especially the poor) etc removes the curse of Allah and allows a person to regain his/her lost light.

Will people that commit suicide ever get to Heaven?

People the kill themselves intentionally will never get to Heaven. The last actions of a person before he or she dies are very important because they can decide the ultimate fate of the person. If the last actions on a person’s lips are the remembrance of Allah before he or she dies (la ilaha illa-Allah) then that means he or she died a good death. However those that kill themselves die a death of heedlessness and die a death where satan has fully tricked them into disbelieving in good and an after-life. They think that if they kill themselves it is the end. Sadly they are mistaken. Such people whose last actions are bad ones such as suicide will burn in Hell forever, because it means they died without belief in God.

Hello, majmal. I am a member of the RationalSkepticism discussion board, where you joined and started a thread last November. After leaving a single message, you did not reappear until you left a second message today, advertising your blog:

http://www.rationalskepticism.org/islam ... 42544.html

It is clear you have no intention of actually participating in ongoing discussion at RationalSkepticism and are only interested in proselytizing and advertising your blog (i.e. spamming). This is in direct violation of the rules of that forum, to which you agreed to abide when you registered as a member.

This means that you lied when you joined the group.

Is lying not a sin in Islam? Or is Islamic "morality" only concerned with harmless, private acts, like masturbating or shaving one's beard?

If you are trying to spread Islam, you are instead showing how absurd and morally bankrupt it is thru your own words and actions. So, please, keep up the good work of driving people away from Islam.

Masturbation is a sin because it goes against how Allah created human beings. It has negative effects on a person and also hinders their ability to talk to other people. That is the punishment from Allah for those that masturbate is that they are no longer able to talk to other people due to this sin affecting their mind. Especially if masturbation is accompanied with watching pornography.

Where does it mention 'watching pornography' in the Koran? Does the Koran also predict internet porn? Cool.

ps. Not taking your bet Shrunk.

I am extremely interested in an explanation of the above bolded (bolded by me for emphasis). Because I have in the past masturbated and never felt an effect on my ability to talk to other people.

If he himself feels a correlation between his social skills and his masturbation; he is either doing it wrong, or he has serious mental health issues which need immediately addressed.

Maybe he means talking to other people while masturbating, now that is an entirely different ballgame!

PCS wrote:I apologise for being too brusque in my comment, thought we wouldn't be as sexually repressed here as the religious type. I meant my comment with humour but in retrospect, there was no need for it. While I would be surprised if the comment fell foul of the FUA (I have read worse here), I wish to apologise for making a comment of a sexual nature even though I was responding to someone that had commented on that (which may brush on 1.3 of the FUA).

Still surprises me how taboo that act still is for a lot of people but that may be another topic of its own, apologies nonetheless.

This, apparently, is disputed. So now's the chance for the Koranic Scientists to tell us, before the physicists make their minds up: which did Allah say there are, black ones or grey ones?

Now if you're not convinced by that, there's no helping you.
