Amish

[pashtanajan]

Nice they appreciate Religion. Do their Women work? Or are they just like the Documentary home makers? They seem strict about dress code.

My Mother was surprised that such People even exist. I was surprised my self.

Their women are homemakers, from what I know. They live a very agricultural lifestyle. The men work on farms, while the females take care of their home and their children. They're quite friendly and non-violent, but they live in their own 'community' and don't contact people from 'the other world' so to say.

I find it just so interesting, i think a lot of British People were probably surprised that these People actually exist after watching the Documentary.
We have nothing like this in Britain.

I like how patient and and non-violent their Women are. I never expected such People to exist in the West.

Now from your Posts i see how real these People are.

Assalamu alaikum kakargirl, I currently live near lots of Amish people and also Mennonites. They have different sects with somewhat varying ideologies, ways of life and so forth. I'm not intimately familiar with the defining characteristics of the particular sects around me except that the Mennonites are from a splinter sect known to be particularly conservative. These people (both Amish and Mennonite) are very respectful towards Muslims in public unlike common modern westerners (I'm one of those people that wear khat partoog/pakol/lungi even in the west) and these people have always been overly respectful, hold doors open for you, never stare or engage in any of the obnoxious social behavior typical of westerners. Actually they generally have much better character than most Muslims. Most of them live without electricity and use gas for heating and cooking. Their dress code is very very specific and colors, cuts and styles denote sect affiliation from what I understand. They can all identify each other based on these things. This aspect bears some resemblance to the tribal people I'm familar with in Afghanistan. One sect around here will ONLY wear some specific type of buttons and all of their jackets and vests are cut in a very specific style; things like that for instance.
People of this type were apparently somewhat common all over north America until recent history. You must basically live around their communities to even see them though. They represent a drastic contrast to the sprinkling of secular monkeys with no knowledge that label themselves Christians today but can't be differentiated from the average kuffar. They isolate themselves from the disbelieving world, reject man made laws and acknowledge their interpretation of God's law as supreme. From the moderately limited knowledge that I have of their manhaj regarding Christianity and their overall culture, they're possibly among the last true Christians on earth. They have basically created their own private world to live in from birth until death. Their children are home schooled to prevent intermixing with non-Christians, they usually have their own work industries and means of making money, etc.
There are also some very similar people in Siberia, Russian North (especially in Komi Republik and areas north of Urals), Eastern Kazakhstan, Russian Far East and Alaska that call themselves Staroveriy or Staroobryadtsiy in Russian or "Old Believers/Old Ritualists". You can research them on Google. They resulted from a great schism in the Russian Orthodox Church in the late 1600's. They live in severe isolation, both men and women wear traditional Russian "folk" clothing, men wear long beards and live according to similar tenets as the Amish but based in the ancient pre-Nikonian rites of Russian Orthodoxy, they could be viewed essentially as the Amish equivalent in the east.
Some videos featuring Old Ritualists if you understand Russian:

"Таежный тупик" - YouTube

One thing you can say about ALL of the above mentioned peoples - they have no problem struggling with the dunya unlike most Muslims who struggle with it everyday or just submit and "assimilate" into it.

Wa laikum As-salam Khwazun, Mennonites wow another group exists too, i wonder how many groups there are now, i am impressed with the Amish i think they are the perfect example of good People they surely are the last and best Christians remaining.

As Muslims we should be a better example than them, sadly we are not as we lack Islam we have a list of sins we commit.

This has inspired me to give up things i am working on it to become a better Muslim.

These People i would have never guessed they exist, i like their patience their humbleness.

Thank you for all this information, it just shows me i hardly know anything i have a lot to learn.
Thank you for the videos too.

[Master Khan]

These people have hard life, they can't use technology, it's seem like a boring life.

[Breshna]

^ Master khan Bro they are the Perfect example of Humans beings,

If they were Muslims. They would be the Perfect Muslims.

Even now they are the most Religious true Christians left if only they would get rid of trinity.

We need to learn from these People and stop acting the way we do.
