if cussing gets people’s attention, then I’ll cuss. The thing is, I have been preaching the truth for a long time, and only used cuss word since 2018, and cuss words only constitute less than .00001% of my writings.
So if somebody disregards millions of words of truth because somebody used cusswords, thats really beyond my comprehension. People praise Tupac, Muslims have spent considerable time and money listening to Tupac, Biggie, NWA, Dave Chapelle, for hours at a time, and worry about me cussin? I don’t know weather to laugh or cry. But then again, I’m not here to be popular, or to be like a museum piece, or to do vaudeville, and I’m not seeking praise. I simply do not give a shit.
I can’t even sit on a stage when leaders are bullshiting the people, kissing ass for no reason, or imams telling people we’re unified, or lying about Islam thinking it’ll make people like us. I can’t even bear it
A lot of people aren’t even aware of the rulings relating to cussing. Cussing and cursing someone has two different rulings. Cursing some one specifically, and cursing a group of people or type of people has different rulings. Cursing a specific individual has a ruling. Whether he is alive or dead has rulings, and whether or not you can curse demons, has its rulings, and whether or not you can call and specific person a cussword has a ruling. But, yes, I cuss on purpose abd for reason. I already talked to Allah about it, after that. I’m satisfied to work it out with Allah while I’m in this life, or be at His Divine Mercy or punishment about it in the next life.
Then, people know that Black men, at least where I’m from, (Philly) cuss like a motherfucker. And cussing conveys people’s feelings, pain, depression, and determination. More people were brought into Islam by people who cuss, then there by people who didn’t. Although I have never known my father, or mother to cuss either. I had a couple of my sisters, a couple of ex-wives, and a few brothers who I am close to excoriate me for cussing. I explained to them why. All of them said I shouldn’t, but all of them over look that trait in me. Especially my family, because we love each other for the sakke of Allah, and that doesn’t change because a person cusses.
I’m not into letting people determine my choice of words. I never been in that place. Then, people (Muslims) politely and casual utter, eveen argue and advocate kufr, shirk, and straght disobedience to Allah, and His Prophet SAWS all the time saying and pushings things that sound trendy that be straight bull shit. It be whole groups of people (Muslims) on some jaahiliyyah stuff. All the time, non stop. Then, cussing is neither a truth of falsehood, and it conveys no ideology, belief, or creed, and in war, cussing is allowed. And I was clear and unambiguous when i declared that i am engaging in a non-violent intellectual war against satan the accursed, and what ever little bit of taqwa that I might have, it’s for Allah, and only He knows how much taqwa I have. However, I’ll say this; cussing is no where near as bad as lying. No one ever accused me ever, of being a liar.
