Sleeping on streets

Salaam

  I just read a post where somebody was making a joke about people sleeping on the streets

Can i just point out as somebody who has lived on the streets and may be doing so again in a few days if problems with family continue that it's not funny when you are in that situation

1) You are cold

2) You dare not sleep anywhere near other humans because you might be attacked etc

3) People automatically assume that you are crazy


and don't count on any muslim helping you either
the imams of all the mosques I KNOW lock up the mosque and go home after salah they don't really care

   So i'd appreciate it if you guys would lay off the homeless people jokes because drink and drugs are not the only reason people become homeless and neither are all of us 'academic' failures

Bismillah arRahman arRahiem

Salaam alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakatuhu

Insha Allah your situation won't fall into something where you would have to live on the streets, and if it does I pray to Allah to keep you safe. May Allah guide you through this. And you are right, this is no topic to make jokes about.

Ma3a Salama,
Nurain.

Assalam ualykum,

Chachi, I hope that it doesn't come to that. If there is anything that I could help you out with please let me know, ok?

if you're referring to the posts made from Kathy about Lightningatnite I think maybe you misunderstood what they were saying. Or did I misunderstand? Kathy? Jannah? se7en?
In fact Kathy had been praying for the homeless man.
Hopefully they'll respond themselves to your post. I agree it's no topic to make jokes about but I haven't read anything jeering on this topic.
