Peace to you RaseemNaqqaash,
First, if I want to direct something at you...I will call your name. Other than that, if the shoe fits, you are the one choosing to wear it in public. I didn't put it on your foot. I you have read so many of my posts as you claim, you will know that I have no problem addressing whomever I choose to by their name; just as I am addressing you here now!
Secondly, I personally don't care about your opinions of me and my posts. Your opinion means nothing as can be construed from the fact that you still like to drink alcohol and try to justify it errorneously from Al Quran. As Allah says in Al Quran, don't count your conversion to Islam as a favor to us, but know that Allah has conferred a favor on you for the invitation. So you coming here arrogantly accusing me and making comments about my posts when you still know virtually nothing, is nothing more than a sign of your arrogance.
Third, I don't care about your personal experience. I am not your friend and don't care to know. Again, if you had read so many of my posts as you claim, you would know that I urge people not to tell their personal life in here because personal experiences neither prove nor disprove anything from Al Quran. I am not here to be your friend per se. I have lived long enough to know that not all so called "muslims" will be my friend, and that I will have friends even from those that don't call themselves "muslims". I am here to study, discuss and debate the meaning of Al Quran. If you are here for another reason, I would recommend that you ignore my posts, cause that is all that you will get from me, other than a correction such as this one.
Finally, you need to humble yourself and try to understand Al Quran before you start out on this forum trying to tell everyone what you think it means with authority. You are gonna end up finding that you are misleading many people, as others do here, and then if you truly fear Allah, one day you will regret your arrogance and ignorance. Your positions on alcohol and child support are not thoroughly researched from Al Quran as I can tell by your writing. You simply read something that someone else wrote that you liked and jumped on the bandwagon. Well, Satan and Hellfire have bandwagons as well. So enjoy.
Salaams,

Peace
Is that rant of self-righteousness directed at me, brother? If so, I would request you do not. You know nothing of me, what I know about Islam, or what I care about the will of Allah. As with all the posts I have observed from you, you arrogantly assume to know best or correctly, when, as has been posted to you by others, you are not being clever or 'ironic' with your posts, you are merely playing with words.
If that was directed at me, I would respond that my family are white British. We live in the UK. The UK is not a Muslim country, and does not operate under Islamic Law (sadly) My father in law was not a fit father, or he would have been granted sole custody. He was not. Infact, he was issued with an injunction/restraining order for several years, because he was mentally unstable, and could have posed a threat to his daughter. He was utterly unfit to be a father, and in 20 years, has never proven otherwise. My mother in law raised her daughter well, and her new husband also raised her well as his ward. Her 'biological father', did everything within his power to never pay child maintenance, and never paid a penny, untill she was already over the legal age as an adult, yet always has the nerve to act like he is a perfect father, and a blameless individual. The truth of the matter, is he is a passive/aggressive bully and a coward.
Al Qur'an specifies that a father must make payments for their children following divorce. My father in law did not do that, until threatened with incarceration. (Had he not agreed to pay at his last court appearance, he would not have left the court a free man, but would have been remanded in custody. That is the level and severity which the situation had reached ) He will have to answer to the judgement of Allah for that, and many other things when it is his time to do so.
If your post was not directed at me, (it appeared to be, or, possibly just a baiting exercise to see who would bite) then please disregard my post.
Peace.
