Muslim TikToker ‘Threatened’ over Jeffrey Marsh Criticism

A Muslim TikTok comedian had her photos leaked, car vandalized, kids threatened after posting a video criticizing Jeffrey Marsh, an American non-binary activist, and accusing him of grooming children on the internet.

Shumirun Nessa, who has seven million followers on TikTok and presents herself with the handle @therealoverloadcomed, made a video criticizing Marsh, who uses they/them pronouns, for saying in a video: “Stop telling trans people that we’re inspirational.”

Nessa used that video as the background for her own clip, calling on Marsh to “stop telling kids to go on your Patreon and chat to you privately without their parents knowing,” Aljazeera reported.

She has previously shared videos for Marsh encouraging children to message ‘them’ privately on online platform Patreon, and likened their content to grooming.

In one of ‘their’ videos, Marsh is seen saying, “Your parents screwed up”, but they do not say who their audience is.

Marsh goes on to say: “That’s why I made a Patreon so that we could talk about it, so that we could connect in a way that has more privacy, so that we can talk to each other in a way that’s more open.”

As her video got millions of view, she received ‘relentless backlash’ from people who called her transphobic and attacked her religion.

“I’m sorry, please don’t come for my kids,” she pleaded in a video on March 12.

Support

Amid rising hate, many came to the support of Nessa, saying she wants to protect children.

“She got an unfathomable amount of hate, and she stood her ground. This is what protecting children looks like. A million props to this brave lady,” someone posted on Twitter on March 1.

Feminist author Julie Bindel tweeted: “Jeffrey Marsh, as we can see by his online content, is a deeply disturbing man. @shumirunnessa pointed this out. For this, she has received threats with details of her children’s schools. Her car has been damaged. Marsh and supporters are misogynists.”

In her last post on Twitter, Nessa called for peace, saying: “I don’t want any ill will on any community, whether it’s the trans community or the Muslim community.”

List of Times and Places Where Dua is Accepted

A short reminder regarding the recommended times of dua . And I think what you need to know here is that the recommended times of dua or recommended things that can cause your dua to be accepted, can be divided into two sort of large groups: Am I Good Enough to Make Dua for Myself? Situations where your dua is accepted. Times where your dua is accepted So I’m going to very briefly mention them one after the other as much as possible. As for situations where your dua has been accepted: – The person who has been wronged or oppressed . – A person who finds themselves in severe difficulty after a calamity has struck. – The person who is traveling. – Someone who is fasting. – The one who is reciting the Quran or has just recited the Quran – Someone who is performing Hajj or Umrah or jihad. – The one who is making dua for someone in their absence . Because we know that when you make dua for someone in his absence an angel says: “ Ameen and to you”. – A person...

Ghuraba (The Strangers): Nasheed with English Subtitles

Islam began as something strange, and it shall return to being something strange, so give glad tidings the strangers. (Sahih Muslim 145) This famous nasheed has many versions; this one is from Muhammad al-Salman and has the subtitles in English embedded. [We are] strangers and we do not bow the foreheads to anyone besides Allah  […] Transliteration to help in the pronounciation:  Ghurabaa’ wa li ghairillaahi laa nahnil jibaa Aisha Stacey  wrote in an article for Aboutislam.net : “I think that many of you would agree that being Muslim in the 21st century makes you well acquainted with being strange. It might even be a metaphor for random, as in you have been randomly selected. […] many converts to Islam will tell you about feeling as if they were strangers, before finding Islam. They will speak of feeling that they belonged somewhere else that their lives were just slightly off center. They often speak about a vague sense of knowing they were not like everyone else...

Taqwa – Living the Main Purpose of Ramadan

Taqwa is a major purpose for the month of Ramadan. The people of taqwa are those who do the things that they are commanded and avoid the things which Allah has made prohibitive. And evidently, to reach a state of taqwa requires vigilance, it requires patience and sincerity. The verse is pertaining to fasting I found in a single set of verses in chapter 2 starting at verse 183: O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous. ( 2:183 ) A Collective Act of Worship Allah is telling us that fasting has been made obligatory and then Allah tells us that just as it was prescribed for those before us. We often get asked this question in Ramadan, “how’s the fast going for us?” And if we gave ourselves a moment to think about it, we see that Allah Most High has made the fast inside the month of Ramadan easy for us because we know that there is a collective spirit to fasting; we know that we’re not alone in this ...
