Useful Tips
Obviously from time to time someone will come to this board and they wish to discuss a portion of Qur'an or the life of the Prophet(عليه السلام) or the tribal practices of certain people(s). There is nothing wrong with questioning and questions should never be shunned. All answers lay within Qur'an.
Taqiyya (تقية) is the Shi'a practice of concealing one's religion when in a life threatening situation and is unheard of in Sunni fiqh. It is NOT a license to spread misinformation or lie about Islam to non-Believers. Anyone who believes everything you say, regardless of how well sourced, is a lie, then there is nothing you can do. Don't argue with them. Just smile and walk away. They will claim it is taqiyya, even though you did not make it up.
Do not mix truth with falsehood and do not deliberately hide the truth Qur'an 2:42
Note that all Believers - Shi'a, Sunni, Ibadi, Sufi, Druze, Salafi, regardless of masjid affiliation - are welcome on this board. However, Qur'anists (those who reject hadith) and Jihadis (radical Islamists) can go to their respective boards: >>>/modernislam/ and >>>/islamicstate/. They are not considered Muslims and can take it up with Allah.
Remember: You are Allah's ambassador to the world.
