UOMSA: I love to volunteer during IAW but the mixed gender interactions is very hard to control and I find myself emotionally tangled. How do I balance the two?

Stay away from what that in which you can't control yourself. Saving yourself precedes helping others.

Want to make more friends? Try this: Tell us what you like and find people with the same interests. Try this:

UOMSA: if you are in the midst of getting to know someone (as in the first steps before getting engaged), and you find something out about them that you do not like (whether physical or otherwise), are you able to separate yourself from the situation or is it not permissible?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
What does "separate yourself from the situation" mean?

UOMSA: Is there a possibility to have a practical example and everyone of the panelist tell how he or she got married / how they proposed / got proposed to

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Finishes School. Misses airplane. Has to go back to the dorms and wait for a week to catch the next flight. Meets wife on campus.
Leaves a week later. Meets again two years later on the other side of the planet. Gets married that week.
*the crowd breaks into a bollywood dance* :)

UOMSA: I have very cultured parents who only want me to marry someone of the same ethnicity/background (i.e., Tanzanian). How do I balance my parents interests with something more realistic in growing up in this society?

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
Your parents have the right to think that way. It takes some diplomacy and kind discussion to reach the core values that must be found in your partner. Maybe it's cultural appreciation, or cultural sensitivity that they want.
At any rate, Islamically, it is recommended to marry from within your same culture, for a higher rate of matching success.
Note: *your* culture.

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.
(to reach it.)

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
1. You can't proof. You can only prove.
2. Are you telling me that charmender evolving to charizard is wrong, and that my entire childhood was based on a myth? :O

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: What would you say is the number one challenge facing Muslim young adults in the present day.

MajedJarrar’s Profile PhotoMajed Jarrar
The gap from Islam: whether it is the lack of knowledge, the rare practice or the absence of role models.

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.
