General Issues / Questions / Re: Is what I am doing wrong/ haram

There is nothing wrong or Haram about treating people with justice. Your behaviour towards these people is in a way serving justice for their bad treatment and injustice toward you. I would further suggest considering switching jobs if possible, to eliminate the toxic environment and to fully go 'no contact' with these people as you mentioned. I understand that this is not always simple to do, but sometimes it is the only solution.

To clarify the title of this thread, human beings are the most intelligent species. It is only by divine inspiration and permission that we are able to achieve many of the life-changing discoveries and inventions, which otherwise may have seemed impossible.

Questions/Comments on the Quran / Re: Can you eat Monkey?

« on: June 09, 2020, 05:03:17 PM »

it is not just “good food” regarding nourishments

amongst the other forbidden (such as swine, blood, etc) food that has not been dedicated to The God is also forbidden. my understanding is that when someone kills an animal for food and does not mention The God’s name over it when killing it and thanking The God as well, then eating that animal is grave sin as it was not dedicated to The God ! my understanding is that satan dupes people into not mentioning the name of The God when milling animals for food (ans when eating anything)

What has the question of eating monkeys got to do with dedication to idols? These are two separate issues.

As per verse 5:4, only 'good food' may be considered suitable for human consumption. It would therefore depend on the overall benefit in terms of nourishment and risks of disease to human health.

General Issues / Questions / Re: The Masked Labels - Video on the use of religious labels

I know many good people who because of the non translated words of
"Muslim" "Islam" and Allah do not get counted among us submitters.
The translators have done a disservice to mankind knowingly or unknowingly.

It is often overlooked that these are non-English words at all. English is a fully capable language, so it's not necessary to use Arabic replacements in English sentences.

'Muslim' is an Arabic word which in the Qur'an is meant in the literal/descriptive sense of 'one who has submitted/surrendered to God'. It is never intended as a static label of identification in a foreign language as it is used today.

That's true. Unfortunately, the identities often lead to a mentality which harbours enmity or hatred.

Verses 91:7-8 state that the human soul has been inspired with a conscience which distinguishes between good and bad.
