Formality on this board
-
Peace,
When I first came here, I notice a few things. Unlike many Sunni forums that Ive been to, not many people here say Peace to the believers when talking to them. Thats not really a problem with me, but thats just something I noticed. But what gets to me is the level of formality that people here talk. We are all talking about God and Islam, why not speak in the best manner? Not censor your words, but choose your words carefully. Is it just me? Not telling anyone what to do here, but just wanted to see if I am just being paranoid.
Also, is there a way to donate to these boards?
Peace

Realize also that this forum is very very diverse, has people with all sorts of beliefs, while at a sunni forum you will have mostly similar views.
Id figure that since most people here were Sunnis at one time, that they would have that same respect that they do in sunni forums. For example, theres a lot of joking that goes around here even within religious matters such that I read someone wrote about stoning God and also regarding women too. I know the context it was written about, but still. I guess thats just their cup of tea.

Salam,
amuslim, I believe that content is much important
Basicly, what is percieved as rude or crude could actually be saying something much more in the sense of "best mannor" than that which hides behind a smile of so called good mannors.
This is something that I've always thought about when I'm reminded of
1753. Say to My servants that they should (only) say those things that are best for Satan doth sow dissensions among them For Satan is to man an avowed enemy.'best mannor' is the truthful mannor. So then it reminds me of this
"Truthful words are not beautiful; beautiful words are not truthful."note, that the the saying about truthful&beautiful words are nothing set in stone.. but it does give much to think about when see the refined politician with his good manors and smile easily murders thousands while he speak untruthful words just to appease the crowd!
someone once said, "The savage man lives within himself; the civilized man lives outside himself, he knows how to live only in the opinion of others, it is, so to speak, from their judgement alone that he derives the sense of his own existance."
just food for thought.. peace

I agree that before formality, truth should be brought forth. However I believe that especially when talking in the sense of God that we should use the best language. For example, theres levels of degrees in language. You can outright curse someone out, or use lesser words to get your point across. Instead of calling someone a b****, you can call them cowards. Also in the case of sex that I have seen a few times, people joke around the matter of it. I can see if we openly talk about it, from an Islamic point of view or scientific. Thats what I mean in regards to formality, not about the gist of the message.
Peace
