Anyway, I am not ridiculing myself; I tell good jokes, and that's when I use it when a seriously good joke is being told, either by myself or by someone else. Telling a good joke or being told a good joke does mot automatically equal ridiculing someone, unless you are actually ridiculing someone.

What is this? Deliberate density? Or oblivious 'let's just stir everything up in one pot and call it a day'...? Let's break it down since it seems you don't want to
- so when peace is not shattered it is a collection of emotion?
I only pointed out just one emotion rotfl which is not in conformity to Quran. You neither read my very first post nor did you care to get it properly. You mixed up all your instant emotions in one pot and have brought it to boiling point. Towards that one emoticon I gave 4 ayats to either ponder or discuss. But with the same collection of emotions you have dismissed it saying that the ayats would not help.
My post was only a request. You can take it or leave it.
Salam, savage_carrot, es, farida, all.

Whatever makes you feel better.
And no, that emoticon is not haram. Feel free never to use it in any context however.

Peace all,
Interesting topic... a bit unexpected. I'll just thrown in a few cents before this thread will wither away.

Emoticons are used in the same way as words, to communicate. This one rotfl , to me, indicates that the poster is finding something funny or "humoristic". This is neither positive nor negative in essence. It becomes what you make of it. Even a smile can be ridiculing and demeaning... but the smile itself is not bad.

I find that the emotions we feel, arise from our thought patterns that have been carved and entrained during our life, and possibly even inherited. The problem with emotions (and thoughts) is how we react to them. If we fail to realize that we are not our thoughts or emotions, then we will be slaves to them, constantly reacting in easily predicted ways. The real problem is when we identify with thoughts and emotions and believe that we, in essence, are only just that... a bunch of thoughts and emotions. So, emotions are only bad when we are slaves to them, but we cannot stop having emotions... unless of course we drug ourselves, or enter a coma. Emotions are part of our make-up and design, as created by Allah. Our challenge is to learn their real nature and not be swayed away by them. Thoughts and emotions, when acting as dictators in our heads, will breed resistance and destruction in our thinking and behavior. Look at the world and see the result! Viewing peace as the absence of emotion is not very helpful. Peace is when we are FREE from the dictatorship of emotions. Peace is when we can operate without running the errands of our emotions. Peace comes from Allah. Resistance and blindness comes from the mind.. from where emotions also come. Peace is the freedom which enables us to move closer to Allah and to develop ourselves. We are not our bodies either, but we'll have to live with them for now, because it's part of the plan... because we have to learn something from this situation. Same thing with emotions.
If there indeed is a stage that can be reached in this life... where you don't feel emotions, then it would still not be like what we think of when we imagine a life without emotions. It would be something else, something higher... and not empty. If this is a level of peace that we can attain here, then we'll still have to move through all other stages before reaching there.... the stages where you learn to break free from the dominion of your emotions.... and this is not easy. I believe this process is made up of salaa and zakaa... because it is really a process of purification... and we need Allah's help to progress in that. Only God knows what's possible and what's desired.
All the best

Thanks for the thoughts Zulf, I found it interesting reading.

I can't really imagine what it would be like to not have emotions and not feel empty in a sense. It might be something like having gone through the human stages of experiencing it all to truly understand and thus not need them anymore or some such. Sounds bleak Then again, if we get through this the end result might be more than emotional fulfillment (turned up to 11 etc)...which sounds awesome. -
Peace drfazl,
Some things are just funny, while ridicule is not.

If one winks too much it's a nervous tic meaning they will go psycho shortly says confucicarrot.
Hadith according to confuci_carrot
There could be other possibilities but they don't float any frigates.
!
Anyways what was alamyir's reply?
Unlike many who like to impose their veiws, al-amiyr does not answer questions that using the faculity of minds one can work it out.
19 winks are the secret to the universe?
Work it out yourself x savage_carrot

Dear drfazl, I have read some "interesting" things written by you previously, but this is by far the most obscure. Anyway, if you feel you are following God by saying this, then, I, at least can't see a flaw in your intention, but seriously, dude? yes peace
Praise be to Allah and May Allah Bless es,
In my thread, "If only Allah, then Allah alone is our watchword", when I start the topic on emotions you will have ample mind space to dwell on the subject emotions Vs. Peace with references from the ayats. And this topic shall shower light on, by the Grace of Allah, how to have cure, and, protect from any disease by doing away with the emotions and opting for Peace.
Only one exercise you would do before you enter the thread is that you shall think over this rotfl This type of laugh is not possible at all without the sadistic mentality of gleefully looking down upon the short comings of others, or without the habit of mocking at one another, or by making a joker out of oneself thus belittling him. This is not the Straight path of Ibrahim.
Salam

I totally agree with the spirit of this.
But I don't think this emoticon in itself is portraying this kind of mocking attitude. That will depend on the context.
But yes, ridicule and mocking, in whatever form, should be chopped and discouraged. It is indeed poisonous.
Peace -
brickwall breaking head is haraam
voodoo magic is haraam
elektro torturing for no reason is hraam
yay jumping for no reason is haraam

group group hugging is haraam (if females are involve)

Please don't be like ultraconservative "Muslims" like Salafists who only know to issue ridiculous fatwas such as banning music etc.
Thank you.
