Description

A place for Progressive Muslims of all sects and schools of thought. We seek to foster an atmosphere of understanding, tolerance, and peace between all peoples.

Community Rules

Be respectful of one another

Please treat others with respect. Being respectful means :

listening, even if strongly disagree;
being thoughtful of other people’s feelings;
assuming that things are said in good faith (unless otherwise indicated);
addressing mistakes, errors, or shortcomings with kindness;
make decisions based upon what is right, not who or what you like;
live and let live (i.e., don’t condemn people to death or suffering because they have chosen a different lifestyle).

We do not promote ultra conservative ideas

Although Discussion around mainstream conservative Islamic theology is allowed in this community, we do not allow promotion of such conservative ideas. Therefore, posts & comments that promote such ultra-conservative ideas & websites will be removed.

All contributions should be made in good faith

Contributing in good faith means being open to considering the arguments made by the other side, either in whole or in part. Rather than rejecting the entire progressive/conservative argument, what parts of the argument can you agree upon? Posts simply aiming to antagonize, preach, or pronounce takfir over an individual or group would are obvious examples of bad faith contributions.

Don’t proselytize

Submissions seeking to proselytize other religions or no religion, or promoting one sect or denomination over others will be removed. Posts/Comments linking to non-lslamic or Salafist sources may be removed where such links might serve to legitimize kufr, Salafist, or extremist modes of thinking.

No flamewars, dramas, or brigading other Lemmy communities

While memes, screenshots, and images involving other Lemmy communities are permitted, any identifying features must be omitted or censored. Please black out or obscure any username.

If you are posting images or screenshots of other social media websites then censoring names isn’t necessary.

Memes (weekends only), screenshots, and other images

While memes, screenshots, and images involving other communities are permitted, any identifying features must be omitted or censored. Please black out or obscure any usernames. Also, memes may only be posted on weekends.

Violations of Community rules 3 times within the period of 6 months will result in a Community ban

At their discretion, moderators may issue up to three warnings for rule violations before banning a user. Be aware that more serious offenses (e.g., violating your User Agreement with Lemmy) may result in an instant and permanent ban. Moreover, “at the discretion of the moderators” means that the moderators may opt to permanently ban any user without prior warning if they deem the rule violation to be particularly serious.

Use English

All users are required to use English in all posts and parent comments. Users must provide an English translation if posting materials from non-English sources. Videos must either be in English or have English subtitles.

Replying to the parent comments in other languages is allowed

Mental Health Rule

We are not a mental health service. Please be aware that content may be removed if the community has concerns about the mental health or wellbeing of a user. We reserve the right to contact Lemmy admin should a user express thoughts about suicide or serious self-harm. In some cases, users expressing extreme levels of anxiety around a religious issue may be asked to consult with either an Islamic scholar or a mental health professional, depending upon the circumstances.

Report the trolls and move on

Please do not engage with trolls. While trolls are sometimes difficult to detect and to discern from genuine posters, if you believe that you have encountered a troll, please cut off all contact. Report and move on. You know the saying: “Don’t feed the trolls”!

Suspicious account activity

Accounts may be banned if there is a marked incongruence between account age and account karma. We have taken this step to cull farmed troll accounts.
