“Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.” — Ayatollah Khomeini
“Selfie un-Islamic, says latest Darul fatwa,” Nyoooz, January 18, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Meerut: Darul Uloom Deoband has said taking selfie is un-Islamic for both men and women. And since nail polish leads to the application of a chemical layer on the nail, water is not able to reach where is should and if vazu is incomplete, namaz automatically remains incomplete,” it had stated.
“It is mandatory to conduct vazu (washing of hands and feet) before offering namaz. Darul Ifta, the online fatwa department of the renowned seminary, replying to a query by a Pakistani youth, said that since mostly selfies are taken to be posted on social media, it gives rise to ‘behayaee’ (shamelessness).
Maulana Asad Kasmi, a Deoband-based cleric, said, “We fully agree with Darul as every fatwa issued by the seminary is in the light of religious scriptures. Selfie is a new craze among youths which is not only bad in the eyes of Islam but also contributes to a large number of accidents leading to loss of lives.”…

Khomeini’s opinion is not necessarily the one that Muslims must agree with and follow. In fact, the Prophet also smiled, joked and had fun. I know no one here cares because it counters your pre-established views but worth a shot for the newbies.

“Sorrow is better than laughing, for sadness has a refining influence on us.”
The above is not from the Qu’ran but the Bible. Strange eh? I’m sure the jihadwatch interpretation of the verse will be much kinder this time.
Anjuli Pandavar says
“a refining influence on us.” If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought this was a joke. But the real sad joke here is that “Muslims must agree with and follow” someone else’s opinion. You don’t even get what a cretin you’ve just made of yourself, and how many people who’ve read you post are now one step closer to leaving your pathetic creed. How long do you think Muslims are going to endure being associated with a mindset like yours? You’re an embarrassment — not to me, but to those who are still Muslim.
You’re out of your league, man. This is a place where people can both think for themselves (no one here “must agree with and follow” anyone) *plus* we all have a sense of humour. My God, if I weren’t a guest on this fine blog I’d give you a bit of my mind.
lebel says
No arguments, no demonstration, just personal attacks. Sounds just about right!
Provide evidence of something rather than ad hominem attacks and hot air.

Nice try.

OK–let’s take a look at those two related instances:
“…they (his Companions) would talk about matters (pertaining to the days) of ignorance, and they would laugh (on these matters) while (the Prophet) only smiled.
— Sahih Muslim, Book 4: Kitab Al-Salat (Book of Prayers), Chapter 92, Hadith Number 1413.
This is Muhammed laughing at all the Infidels he had enslaved and murdered.
More:
The Prophet in his fatal illness, called his daughter Fatima and told her a secret because of which she started weeping. Then he called her and told her another secret, and she started laughing. When I asked her about that, she replied, “The Prophet told me that he would die in his fatal illness, and so I wept, but then he secretly told me that from amongst his family, I would be the first to join him, and so I laughed.”
Oh, great–the “Prophet” chides his teenaged daughter for weeping when he is dying, and then ‘cheers her up’ by telling her she is going to die young.
What a laugh riot! How could we have been so wrong as to think that Islam is not a barrel of laughs? *Ugh*.
FYI says
What’s this?A quote from.. the Bible.. by the islamic apologist lebel*?
Don’t you know?
Did your imam or islamic studies teacher not tell you lebel?
That Bible.
Yes ..the book that …allah..says he wrote?
Did you NOT KNOW that the author of the Bible,according to the koran,claims to be …allah?
koran 3:3{“..as he revealed the Gospel and the Torah”}
koran 2:87{“We verily gave unto Moses the scripture”}i.e the Torah
koran 5:46{“We bestowed upon (Jesus) the Gospel wherein are guidance and a light
CONFIRMING that which was revealed before it in the Torah”}
Torah+Gospel= Bible
koran 5:47 “Let the People of the Gospel judge by that which allah hath revealed therein.Whoso judgeth not by that which allah hath revealed are EVIL-livers”
How dare muslims attack or sneer at the Bible!
allah won’t stand for it{koran 5:47}
allah also tells muhammed that if in doubt{koran 10:94} he should consult those familiar with “the Scripture that was before thee” i.e Yes,that’s right:-
The BIBLE.
So if you muslims have any issues with the Bible TAKE IT UP WITH allah:he claims to be the author of it…
Don’t you muslims EVER read and study your own koran??Or are you just gifted by your allah with islamic obtuseness,theological ignorance, hermeneutical illiteracy and sheer stupidity?
If allah claims he wrote the Bible ..and CONDEMNS those who attack “what allah hath revealed”.{koran 5:47}..and you islamic trolls sneeringly take potshots at the Bible ..do you see how stupid that is?You have so much egg on your face you could make a Spanish Omelette lebel.I thought Ibby the anal-retentive Goat-riding “mithraist” was bad enough.muslims don’t get IRONY{islam is the religion of peace,muhammed was the perfect man,the koran has no errors in it…ALL demonstrably FALSE}
fatwas against selfies?Any chance you “holy” muslim hypocrites could take time out from all that FALSE piety to your god “allah the BEST OF DECEIVERS”,and issue fatwas against MURDERING the innocent?I know it is hard for the islamic brain to fathom but please DO TRY to see if you can understand that 6th commandment{and the 7/8/9/10 and come to think of it the 1/2/3/4/5 ones too,not forgetting the 2 Chief Commandments that allah COMPLETELY MISSED in his”perfect” book;perhaps you muslims should follow allah’s advice to muhammed k10:94and READ… the Bible…}
I hesitate to mention Exodus 20 and those Commandments{N.B the Sixth:Jews get it.Christians get it.muslims don’t}.. that your moon god allah “the best of deceivers” k3;54{REALLY,REALLY BIG HINT THERE.Do you geddit lebel?Nope}.. DISAGREES with:your islamic mindset will not be able to understand them.Usually,you muslims,when confronted by the Exodus 20 laws,will quote some obscure passage in the OT{with yes,descriptive violence} whilst failing to get the Irony of the fact that according to the koran,the AUTHOR OF THE BIBLE claims to be…allah}
“Ah but what about the Book of Samuel chapter X verse y,huh?”says the islamic apologist
{IRRELEVANT because if allah claims he wrote the Bible ..and if Samuel is in the Bible which allah claims he wrote then there is little point attacking it if you are a muslim is there?You are attacking that which allah claims he revealed which you muslims cannot do without denying your allah.Idiocy!}
And the “prophet” ‘joked,smiled and had fun’?Really?I’ll bet he did.Was that when he was mass-murdering the Jews?{Abu Dawud 4390},deflowering his 9 year old “wife” Aisha,stealing from the Khaybar Jews,beating his BLACK SLAVES,abusing women,riding his magic fantasy winged horse buraq to Jerusalem{koran 17:1} or splitting the Moon in half?What islamic fun!
You should leave islam lebel:It’s the smart choice but it takes courage and intelligence.
The more you defend what is intrinsically evil,the bigger the hole you dig for yourself ,the more you reveal your immoral nature:and allah the best of deceivers{you STILL don’t get that do you?!}..will not save you!
The smart people leave islam.You islamic trolls prove the Truth of that :with your al walaa wal baraa,your antisemitism,antiChristianity,hatred and violence towards Jews,Christians,Atheists,Hindus,Buddhists,No Golden Rule,no tolerance of non-muslims.
islam: satan’s own religion.The religion of antiChrist.
islam:A house of cards built on quicksand in an Earthquake subduction zone
Thank allah for the internet!
islam’s great nemesis.
*I’m more a Mauser man myself:a much superior rifle in every way…

I find it interesting that Obama, a secret Muslim whose goal was to implement shariah law in America, is himself taking a selfie. Who is the more Muslim? Khomeini who could only bring Islam to Iran or Obama who managed to become President of the most powerful country in history and destroy it from within with his Islam.
Yup, it’s Obama, therefore selfies are OK.
Unless, Obama was practicing super-taqqiya? what do the jihadwatch scholars say/?
CogitoErgoSum says
How can you deny that Obama is a Muslim? Isn’t everyone born a Muslim? And if he is now a Christian wouldn’t that mean he has renounced Islam? What do those who renounce Islam deserve as punishment? What will those who are not Muslim get a the time the jizya is abolished? What do the Islamic scholars say?
lebel says
“How can you deny that Obama is a Muslim?”
Goes to Church
Has a dog
Drinks beer
Wife with no hijab
Daughters twerking
Killed Ben Laden and hundreds of AQ fighters while bombing IS
So yes, I can’t deny that he is a Muslim.

…………………
Little Freudian slip on lebel’s part, I see…
CogitoErgoSum says
Not sure if that’s a Freudian slip or sarcasm.
There is a hadith concerning which religion a person is born into — see Sahih Muslim, Book 033, Number 6426. If this is taken as a reliable hadith then everyone comes into this world a Muslim. However, some people have their religion changed to something else by their parents while others wait to make their own choice of religion later in life. Obama supposedly became a Christian after he was of an age for making his own choices in life so his parents didn’t make his decision for him. Thus, according to Muhammad, Obama was a Muslim until he chose to renounce Islam for Christianity. This would make Obama an apostate and deserving of the death penalty —- which is the same penalty that will be applied to those who do not accept Islam when the Muslim version of Jesus returns and abolishes the Jizya.
Please do correct any misunderstanding I may have about this. However, if I am right my point would be that the more you learn about Islam the farther down a deep, dark hole into absurdity you go. If I were a Muslim the only way I could avoid falling into madness would be to try to ignore a lot of the things taught by the religion — or maybe simply stop trying to find out more about my religion and live in blissful ignorance.
Carol the 1st says
lebel…IMO Obama’s sentimentality and support of Islam (Shahada ring and all) marks him as a fully willing Soft Jihadist Psychopath – and, like all of them, more influenced by his narcissism, and greed rather than by any creed. Jamie Glazov should weigh in on this!
And you say Muhammad managed to display a wee smile! – he probably stifled a laugh so he could continue to portray himself as a cut above the ordinary joker. This leads to Kasmi’s comment about selfies (above) “…not only bad in the eyes of Islam but also contributes to a large number of accidents leading to loss of lives.”…Is he trying to suggest that it’s more than “muslim” lives he and his cohorts so care about? Try again.

Taking selfies and using nail polish is un-Islamic–but raping little girls, enslaving Infidels, and bombing Christmas markets is perfectly Halal.

I don’t know if taking selfies is un-Islamic or not. But it certainly is stupid

Mohammdens’ Blame Game
If a muslim does anything bad and cant blame a jew or christian for it, they blame satan (doesnt work in ramadan im afraid)
Satan is everywhere, then? But I thought only Allah can be everywhere? So, Satan is basically Allah?
mohammden blames every minor to major misfortune of muslims on Jews, Christians, satan.
There is another danger and warning to muslims, allah knows best did not know the following:
Amirican, Russian, Chinese, Indian satlitites are going further afield. There are possibilities, One may land , allh’s throne or on top of allah,or allah’s chair when he comes down from 7 heaven to 3 heaven in third part of the night according to moh/muhammeden . They may collide with allah, with his throne, one or all 8 dear face angle/s who carry his throne may be killed , throne will fall on eath, mohd allah either injured or killed. They may send the pitures down to earth. They may steal allah, his quran etc. This is why Muslims deny that NASA has sent astronauts to the moon. They say that it was all fabricated.
They may land Islamic heaven(brothel), they may catch the images hooories, sex parties. They may bring down hoories on earth for fun plus paradise wine
They may Steal allah , his throne,may be taking mo photograph and bring back mo to
Earth.
Note: Nasa satlite landed on Mar and able to send photofraphs from 4 billions miles away. Chilese landed on far side of the moon in 2018
please refine and use anywhere, everywhere.

Idiots why do they use Buses, cars and airplanes?? Their prophet went on camels and is it “Sunnah” for Muslims to use those, instead of using camels and hunting for lizards!!!When would they issue a fatwa to ban cellphone usage all together? These semi/illiterate bearded billy goats who do not know an iota of science or civic science are allowed to adjudicate. If not for the discovery of petrol in the Arabian peninsula and western technology to extract it, these assholes would have been confined to riding camels, hunting lizards and humping goats. God!!! I am not sure about the accident part though.
