UOMSA: How will Allah judge us and in the same time every action we do is previously written before we even are born?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Here's one simple way of explaining it
1. God knows everything without a time limit. He was not ignorant then learnt the knowledge.
2. Assume that God didn't force you to do anything, and that you have complete free will.
3. Live life as best as you can, do everything, die.
4. Day of Judgement comes: you will be held accountable for everything you did. Now you and God knows where you deserve to go.
5. Recall 1: God's knowledge is without a time limit.
6. Then, God knows your destiny since before He created the universe. He has not forced you into it. You have had your free will all along.

UOMSA: why do we have to kill those who choose to change their religion and get out from Islam?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
You were not ordered to kill anyone. The rulings on apostasy - and who's to fulfill them -are explained in fiqh books, if you can't read it yourself, attend a fiqh class.

UOMSA: how to proof that the evolution theory is wrong?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar

UOMSA: physical contact with opposite gender (high fives etc)

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Prohibited, whether lust/fitnah exists or not, whether there was a barrier (gloves, etc) or not.
Prophet Muhammad - peace be upon him - said: It is better for one of you to be stabbed in the head with a sword made of iron, than to touch a woman to whom he is not permissible."

UOMSA: What do we do when we are tempted to respond in anger to comments on social media? Racism, islamophobia, etc.

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
The worst thing you could ever do = is to translate anger into words. If you are qualified to respond, wait for 4 hours (since first reading the post) before responding

UOMSA: Drawing from your life experiences, if you could give 3 pieces of advice to a Muslim guy graduating from university this year what would you say?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
1. Get married. If you don't have your wife live your toughest days with you, you two will be missing out on possibly your best adventure together.
2. If you can't get married, do number 3.
3. Do number 1.

UOMSA: How do you avoid the fitna of being very hard on yourself and misjudging yourself?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
That is not a fitnah. It is a great blessing, and a primary goal to achieve in this life. You are on a good spiritual track as long as you very hard on yourself.

UOMSA: How to you give up thoughts of hopelessness and suicide?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
May the Almighty bring coolness onto your heart with His healing Hand.
By three things:
1. Knowing the little status of this world, and that all goodness, power, wealth and health in it is truly not worth a wing of a fly.
2. Knowing the true status of patience, and the purpose of being created into this world, in this era, and to live through these situations.
3. Knowing that hopelessness and suicide is a disease, and like any disease, Allah has created a cure for it. Those who are experts in this field know this cure, all what you have to do is get it from them. Speak to an imam or a councilor (consult with SASS at uOttawa)

UOMSA: Skipped two weeks of classes, exams, assignments. Is it all over? How do you avoid having to drop out of school like you did previously?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
It is very likely that it is all over. Not because you missed 15% of total classes and still have a theoretical chance to get an A+, but because first impressions are lasting impressions.
To prove the professor's first impression wrong, you need to do a significant effort. Arrive 30 minutes early to the class, every class, first desk, before the professor walks in to the room. Greet him/her in their face. Prepare your readings well, voice your opinion whenever appropriate. discuss the material further with the professor after class unless they are busy or tired.

UOMSA: Is it okay for a girl to approach a guy to marry her

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Absolutely. the wife of Prophet Musa did it, and the wife of Prophet Muhammad did it, and they are both better women than you
P.S: Listen to how they did it properly before you decide to do something crazy :)

UOMSA: When guys use the excuse marriage to speak to you and end up leaving u later on? do u think it's right for a guy to be approaching a girl to marry her?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Yes they do have the right. Girls should not be fools. If he's not honest from first moment = ditch him.

UOMSA: How to give up bad habits when you are single and desperate for affection and you can't get married rn?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Remove the obstacles preventing you from getting married rn.
Starting with: becoming more mature, responsible, and able to control yourself.
If you can't control yourself, you think you can control a relationship?!

UOMSA: I contacted a sister to see her availability and our first meeting included her father. After the meeting the father said that it was permissible for us to continue to meet without a mahram. The conditions were that we only meet in a public place and do not transgress. Is this lawful and how

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
A) this is a temporary phase. The goal is to see if you are a match or not: Set a maximum number of remaining face to face meetings before you reach a decision for engagement or not (no more than 5).
B) Put a written marriage plan, each of you write it individually, then share it with each other. It can include:
1. What are the 3 qualities you will bring to the marriage? What are the 3 qualities would you like to see in the other?
2. What are your life goals in terms of your own deen, career, travels, family planning, relationship with your own parents, relationship with your in-laws.
3. What are your expectations from your partner with regards to all the above?
4. Keep her father in the loop directly after each meeting.

UOMSA: Asalamu Aleykum. I want to have a halal approach to marriage and in today's society it is almost taboo for someone to ask for your parent's number before meeting you. How should I go about talking to someone for marriage if I'm worried about displeasing Allah?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
There are endless halal ways. Here's a story from the Quran, with some beautiful reflections:

UOMSA: Is public displays of affection allowed in Islam? If so, to what extent (i.e. holding hands, hugging and etc)

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
1. It's all permissible if you're talking about your mom and sister :)
2. Just because someone has a girlfriend, they shouldn't make a public announcement of it. Be sensitive to all the single brothers and sisters out there who are trying to be good Muslims and are suffering in silence.
3. It is prohibited for a man to have any physical contact with a woman who's not permissible for him (i.e., not directly related by blood, nursing or marriage)
