Why do we judge others over different Islamic opinions?

Salam, I feel really worn out seeing all these different takes on matters like music, drawing, wearing the hijab, singing, or women traveling alone. Islam encourages respectful discussion among believers, which is wonderful, but why do we sometimes attack and intimidate those who, for example, listen to music or draw living beings when there are legitimate scholarly opinions that say it's permissible? It sometimes makes me wonder: is faith just a matter of luck, where you hope your understanding is the right one? Let's remember to be kind and seek knowledge together, insha'Allah.

This needed to be said. The judging has gotten out of hand. We're all trying our best.

We forget our manners so easily online. May Allah soften our hearts.

The part about faith feeling like luck... that hit home. Makes me want to cry.

I feel this so much. It's exhausting. We need more empathy.

I've stopped engaging in these debates. Focus on your own relationship with Allah and leave others to theirs, unless you're a scholar giving advice with wisdom.

Exactly! I saw someone get ripped apart online for a simple question about music. Where's the compassion?

It's scary to even ask questions sometimes.
