Es un problema grave para la salud pública y la convivencia vecinal. Propongo unos 20 años como mínimo. No, mejor 30, para que no se conviertan en 2 que nadie paga.

Actualmente, tienes que aguantar que cada verano, si a cualquiera le parece que no tiene nada mejor que hacer, venga a fumar marihuana junto a tu casa y tú te la tengas que fumar con ellos, porque les da igual. Cerrar la ventana para que no entre el humo no es una solución en esta ola de calor que acarrea riesgos para la salud. Lo de mudarte tú ya es el colmo del descaro.

Hablar con ellos es obvio que no funciona y la policía no puede hacer más que ponerles una multa que ellos seguramente «se olvidarán» de pagar. Y mientras eso ocurra, el problema lo tienes tú, porque cuando se haya ido la policía, ¿quién te protege de los consumidores cuando se encuentran bajo los efectos de tales sustancias y tengan deseos de venganza?

Location: Spain. Spanish citizen. Looking for someone already living in the European Union. Nationality and ethnicity, though, are not important at all.

Do I want kids? Yes

Hobbies: reading, writing, a hot chocolate or coffee in a cozy or quiet environment, going for an ice cream, visiting a bookshop, a library, museums, and the like.

Something short about me: I'm autistic, so I pay attention to details beyond what most people do!

Assalamu alaikum.

I find this video very interesting. It deals (in general terms) with the topic of the rulings that would apply to women scholars or Muslim women in general giving dawah in public, by analysing summarily a post from a Muslim woman where she gives examples of women who have taught Islam in a way or another.

I would like to know what your opinion on this topic is, considering that there are so many videos on our feeds nowadays that show women preaching Islam and I think we should be mindful of the content we watch.

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters.

A few weeks ago I heard that there were elections in India and some Muslim brothers and sisters were concerned about their situation over there. I'm a revert living in the West and I'd like to know more about how other Muslims are doing elsewhere, so I'd appreciate it if someone could provide some context or information about the situation for Muslims in India at the moment.

Jazak Allahu khayr.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh.

Brothers and sisters, this is an honest question. I've noticed that the trend among Muslims from different countries: Arab in general, from Sub-Saharan Africa, the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan, Gulf countries, and South East Asia, wanting to migrate to Europe, is not decreasing at all. I'd really like to know what is moving so many people to still want to come to lands of different cultures, languages and mentality. Is it really so bad over there?

Meanwhile, I find myself sometimes wishing I could simply leave for a country where Islam is the religion followed by the majority, even if not practised perfectly, so I could increase in knowledge by having easier access to scholars and masjids, where Arabic is not a rarity, where at work people accept practising the Sunnah more easily, in shaa Allah, and so on. Yeah, I'm aware it wouldn't be Jannah, of course, but you know what I mean.

At the same time, I am left thinking: if we all make hijrah to Muslim lands, who will be left to call people to Islam in ours?

DISCLAIMER: This post is not intended to break Rule 11 (I posted it on another subreddit about Islam and I'm a Muslim myself.) I merely intend to find out what's published out there. Of course, I'm ok with the mods removing the post if they think it's better.

Assalamu alaikum, brothers and sisters.

This is a question for my master's degree dissertation. My field is literary studies.

Do you know of Muslim writers who have authored poetry or fiction in English, Spanish or French? I don't mean translations from Arabic, Urdu or Persian, but something originally written in the aforementioned languages. Of course, I mean works with Islamic values, not what is usually published by the mainstream publishing industry, though I'd consider it if you know of something interesting.

Barakallahu feekum!
