What & where did you avail discount on Black Friday?

[asharab.butt]

genius black friday is a day right after "thanks giving" day which is supposed to be 4th thursday of november every year. It is based on some events (I don't know what) that happened several centuries ago amongst people who had no idea what Islam even was. What happens is that it is a holiday and people buy a lot of stuff on the thursday. And then the next day(which happens to be a friday) a lot of stuff is still left over in the stores, which they put on sale on a special day that is now known as "black" friday.

Also, this sunday, monday day sequence predates Islam. Why has Islam adopted it the pagan/christian/jewish weekly calender? Also, friday has religious significance in many many many religions PREDATING ISLAM.

Adding to this, black is used as a sign for profit while red is used for loss. Nowadays graphs are used but before these were common red and black colour was used.

What are you talking about? Financial statements? They use brackets or a negative sign for loss. Candlestick charts traditionally use green for upward movement. Or if in black and white, white for up movement and black for down movement. In electric diagrams, red is positive, black is negative. So black really is universally negative.

I will never rule out the possibility of different races having different levels of intelligence. If skin color can adapt to environment over a long period of time, why not the brain also? If there can be different breeds of animals with varying levels of intelligence, why not the same with humans too?

Also, what is black music? Music is audio, black is a color. You cannot hear black. Maybe you don't know this because you're black. Blacks are known for lower levels of intelligence (not a single decent civilization came out of Africa). On the other hand, take european man to anywhere around the world and they achieve great things (e.g. north america, south america, new zealand, malaysia/singapore, india, hongkong, south africa, australia, parts of north africa and so on). Middle easterners have their successes, Chinese have been very very successful over past 5,000yrs, Indians too have built great civilizations. Yet, the best that negros could come up with is dancing naked around a fire and live in huts. Also, take uncivilized negro from africa to USA, 200 yrs later, still uncivilized and violent. Same thing everywhere, where ever there's negro, there is unrest/violence and plain stupidity.

I hope you can now understand what's wrong with black in general. Also, black is the color of dirt. Also, the color of human/animal waste, sort of.

That is the worst correlation that I have ever read or heard of! You, sir clearly have no idea about human waste. Human waste is brown, sir. That wins the medal for the most ludicrous comment in this entire thread. It clearly shows your absolute hate towards the black community.

the color varies, but it's absolutely never white.

Also, forgot to mention, negro looks like the lesser intelligent primates.

Try calling a black person by this name and he'll tell. Google it and you'll understand.

I just googled it.

I don't think you know what negro means. Negro is from negroid which is anthropological classification of people mainly from Africa etc. Calling a black Negro should be as offensive as calling a white Caucasian.

A black person gets offended because he is genetically violent and born and raised that way and because he is uneducated and other people told him that calling someone a negro is offensive.

Negro literally means black in spanish and portugese. It is derived from "Niger" which literally means black in Latin (the source of spanish and portugese and other romance languages).

dear sweet brother

Kaaba

clothing of Beloved Prophet (SAW) (please read darood sharif once)

black was also one of the colors of the lashkar of Islam during the golden ages.

I think someone missed your memo and declaration of a universally negative color.

what is your opinion in this matter?

my dear

are you sure "in the black" or "in the red" mean nothing?

Description of "in the black" (profit, good financial performance)

Description of "in the red" (loss, bad financial performance)

Please try not to be rude, condescending, or so audacious, to other members. things can also be explained or said in a nice manner, knowledge brings humility yet here the situation is opposite - i think it is evident what's missing.

here is a lifelong advice to you: be humble, good things will come to you.

all the best.

your friends are actually right, our finance advisor here unfortunately is not. black does mean good financial performance, red means loss/bad financial performance.

Why is black a bad thing? Why is anything a bad thing? Why is black a bad color? Why is any color a bad color? Why do people wear black shalwar kamiz on Friday then? Or buy black corollaglixli? Or pay own money on certain black cars? Or wear black shoes? Or listen to black music? Or dye their white hair to black? Why oh why? Just why? OK?

I'm a black man, and I feel like I've become a victim of racism.

kash taleem hum sub ka kuch bigaar sakay.

coming to black friday sales

i didnt find any thing i needed online so i went to a few stores. crowds were unbelievable, stuff was in limited amounts and most deals werent worth the time or wait. instead i spent a few thousand on online training courses at udemy and through groupon. good deals i must say, hundreds worth in microsoft/amazon courses for 10/15$.

[458_Italia]

Thread was meant to show what everyone bought.. Not argue over why it's being named as such.. Anyways I got a bunch of stuff.. cables, watch box, shock oil (fr rc) and most importantly netgear router which I had been waiting for ages. Everything bought from Amazon.
Daraz. Pk is a rip off.. I got a ps4 game from liberty for 2200 a few months back.. Same selling for 2400 after discount.. Lol.. Amazing ways for people to rip others off.. Maybe a few deals are legit but I surfed around and in a few minutes I closed and moved on to Amazon. Lol

Actually this thing came from other countries with a mission against Islam as well, because our islamic day is Friday so they have named it Black Friday and now you can losten the same from all over muslims name. Why not Black Sunday??

Dear Bro, let me try to clear some misconceptions,

Black Friday is the Friday which comes IMMEDIATELY after Thanks Giving day, Thanks Giving day is the last thursday of November.

Retailers who used to normally go in loss the whole year (in accounting books the loss is written with RED color) make profits (thus making entries in accounting books in black) by giving huge discounts, thus the name Black Friday

And what exactly is wrong with the color Black? it is one of the most graceful colors out there, Isn't our Holy Kaba also wrapped in Black color?

There are few uneducated self claimed Islamic Scholars who go around spreading hate mongering without knowing the facts, not everything in the west is against Islam, talking about acquired traditions we might also want to question the mehndi event (hindu origins) and what about good ol Valentines? Halloween? Holi?

[capsat]

Black is sign of desperation, expression of sadness across the muslim world. Ghilaf Kaba is black .. a sign that shows the pilgrimage performers to forget & let go of black in their lives and start again, - remember, as Nabi [ pbuh ] said after performing Hajj ... a human is as Paak & Saaf as new born from mother's womb. .. Kabba Cover is black to remind that visiting the place is to absorb & do the cleansing in muslim humans.

• Friday is never BLACK for muslims anywhere on globe. Friday is defined as the Most distinguished day of the week in Quran Paak, Surra Jumma [ surrah 62 ]

in sub-continent muslims adopted partying stuff from Hindu majority and not every muslim family is observing celebrating such events as mentioned below.

The inside is red/brownish.

You could put a blue or even a rainbow tutti frutti cover on the kaba and it wouldn't matter. And over the years, that has been the case, the cover on kaba has been put in several different colors. It's not the color that gives it importance.

Also, the first time the ghilaf was put on by the prophet he used white color cloth.

[hamza_xeg]

There is nothing wrong by naming it "black friday". How can a color possibly be offensive or obscene in any way?

Kaaba was covered in black clothe before even Islam. Under Islamic rule, they kept it that way until Prophet changed it to white clothe. Later varying colors were used. But obviously the illiterate masses (of all times) are not literate enough to place more importance on the concept/ideology over the color of the building. It's like they want to believe in idols.

It would probably shock most muslims if they were told that in certain years hajj and umrah went on even without the kaaba (building) being physically present in the location, instead they would do tawwaf around markings. This was during the multiple times the kaaba was destroyed in battles/wars. And also without the hajr-e-aswad in place (it was stolen, later, pieces of it were recovered and that's what we have today).
