SSH Social Community Network

I just set up an account for SSH on wall.fm as an example page. I have the screenshots and it is a private website. You would have to join if you choose to. Here is the link: SSH Social Community Anyone can create their own social network for free on wall.fm u can try today inshAllah!

Voicemail Messages

Now u can leave the SSH voicemail messages on our blog. If you look to the very right end of the page near the top you will see a gray sidewayz banner that says "Send Voicemail." Click that and follow the instructions.

Voice comments for blogs

This is not a SSH post but i thought i shud mention this. So we lost snapvine, but don't worry there are other sites that are kinda like snapvine so that's a good thing. I am looking for some good free voice comment sites where u can i guess embedd a code into the blog so that others can hear. Here are some sites I have found that you can do that:

What if a sister has bad credit?

Hmmm, very good question. If someone has a history of not paying off their credit cards on time or misusing their credit limit most people would not want to work with them NOR live them. Maybe some of them have changed and brought up their credit, maybe they were short on money because they were not getting paid enough at their job or something...Not sure what to do..

Screening potential residents

Other than the regular screening should we need a secondary process for letting potential sisters in the SSH? Like say for a questionaire or an interview? What are the type of questions that would be asked on the questionaire or the interview? Why is their a need fo a secondary screening process? Well...

The purpose of the Secondary Screening Process

These are not perfect, but one main reason is to possibly to ensure that we get some quality sisters and their children. Quality meaning beliveing and practicing muslim single sisters and single mothers and their children

Types of people who are NOT allowed at the SSH

If you do NOT like the rules, that is fine by me. You can start your OWN place, there is NO reason for you to argue about how we are not fair about not allowing certain people in. This is a PRIVATE house, and not a public one.

• Non-muslim women
• Non-muslim kids
• Transgender women (who were biologically born males) who call themselves muslims
• Lesbian women who call themselves muslims
• Males who pretend to be women wearing niqabs
• Muslim females who don't practice hijab, but believe that hijab is obligatory
• Muslim females who deny the practice of wearing hijab
• Muslim females who don't pray
• Non-muslim women who pretend to be muslims only to spy on ppl at the SSH

Where do the non-muslim sisters stand at the SSH?

This was another topic i also think about, and the answer is quite simple. THE SSH IS ONLY for believing and practicing muslim single sisters and single mothers and their children. The reason why is because non-muslims have different kinds of programs for women and their children to get involved in whereas for muslim women and children it is different, depending on where you live. A place where the believing and practicing muslim women and children get to have a place that is special and unique for their needs so that we can support and help each other achieve our goals whether it be for a temporary place to live, waiting to be married, a young teen muslim with no place to go, etc...And if the non-muslim women do not have such places like these in their area then they can start their own, but the SSH is NOT for them, sorry to disappoint you.

But what about spreading the dawah to non-muslim sisters and their kids?

I thought about that too and the answer is simple, the SSH is NOT a place for spreading dawah. Especially for the new sisters. You are going to have work on yourself first before you help someone else learn about Islam. Besides Allah makes muslims but we cannot teach Islam to ourselves. We must find a qualified teacher who knows the quran an the hadiths as well as arabic to teach us. You can go to the masjid, or go online. I recommend Sunnahfollowers because this is the site I go to learn my deen. Soooo much knowledge to learn and share. And anyway there are some good muslim sites for people who want to learn Islam. True dawah comes from your actions not from your tongue. So becareful how you act and treat people, that reflects back on the ummah.

Where do the non-hijabi sisters stand at the SSH?

This topic I think about alot or very often because as we very well know that NOT all sisters practice hijab, there are those who don't wear it properly, and there are those who have it on and take it off, as well as the ones who only wear it to the mosque or wherever. To be honest, these are the sisters I do NOT want living at the SSH simply because either they don't know their deen or don't care and these sisters would set a bad example for the young ones living there as well as other sisters. If you don't know that wearing the hijab is obligatory then you need to read and ponder on the verses of the qur'an that states wearing the hijab:

 “O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)

“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear therof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands’ fathers, their sons, their husbands’ sons, their brothers, or their brothers’ sons or their sisters’ sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).

“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)

When you choose to disobey Allah by NOT wearing hijab and having inner hijab, then you will need to find someplace else. We don't tolerate such disobedience at the SSH. Although it's not mandatory in the house it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to still practice modesty both within the house, in your rooms and outside the house. This gives me a great ideafor a questionaire for sisters to answer for qualifications to stay or live here inshAllah.
