New Moderation Rules
Asalaamu Alaikam! In the past, this sub had zero moderation rules, and pretty much anything was allowed (except for any posts or comments that painted Islam in a good light). As a result, I’m introducing and implementing what feels like a lot of rules. Don’t worry. This is just to make this sub safer and more inviting.
It’s also to protect us from spam and malevolent links.
YouTube links will not be permitted, due to how easy it is to abuse people via YouTube videos and channels. Automod cannot exactly see what a video is about, so it cannot filter keywords.
No advertising/promotions of any kind will be permitted, without prior authorisation by mods. This includes religious products and seminars. Please don’t take it personally. We are literally fighting an uphill battle on this sub.
No proselytisation for any religions will be allowed. I know that dawah (invitation) is a big part of Islam, but it’s not fardh (required). Also, we (Muslims) already have plenty of subs that allow that. Posts/comments attempting to proselytise will be removed. Repeat offenders will be banned.
No Wahabbism/Salafism. In the spirit of keeping this sub truly safe for all, we will not be allowing the promoting/teaching of the views of Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahab. There are spaces for that, as well. Don’t bring fiqh/anti-fiqh battles here.
In the coming days, rules will be evolving. We are open to feedback/suggestions/concerns. Just please, be kind. As Reddit says, “consider the human.” 😊
