Ma shaa Allah beautiful advices. Best point that we should be there for our new muslim brothers/sisters. May Allah guide him and all of us. Jazakallahu khairan for making this. May Allah accept from u. Aameen
I don’t know how to feel about this. As much as I understand how I’m supposed to forget this man’s sins and that his slate has been wiped clean but it’s so hard to forgive someone that caused so much pain. The change in the way I was treated as a hijabi Muslim girl was horrible. Some of the young boys that he influenced blatantly expressed the feelings of superiority that they had over women just because of what this man had told them. His views are giving boys a sense of entitlement and disregarding the role of women in Islam. He has most definitely not clarified that his views don’t fully aline with Islam and because of that it’s further encouraging Muslim men and boys to take him as a role model and it is having a detrimental effect on the treatment of the girls and women in our community. How do I forgive all of that and move on before I have seen evidence that he is regretful?
@bayjxker thank you this is helpful but I understand that I should be able to forget but I’m finding it difficult because he knows the affect his words continue to have and he has yet to clarify them. But I will definitely research the sahaba more
Sister, have you watched his interview with Piers Morgan? I don't know much about Tate or the things he said, but it seems like he clarified many of his stances there, though without being regretful as he feels they were clips taken out of context. They went over a lot of controversial things Tate said and he seemed to have explained every one of them. I also believe that he's having a conversation with Mohammed Hijab soon, so they're likely to cover the controversial things there as well. I hope that insha'Allah you are able to heal from his and find a group of people who will treat you respectfully.
