As-salam alaikum,
So far the Member Groups are:
Junior member: 0 posts Full member: 100 posts Senior member: 250 posts Director: 500 posts
I'm looking for feedback on:
a) whether we want these member groups b) any changes to the names c) any additional groups
wa salam.

I do not know...what do the group names mean anyway.
Does one have more privileges as they post or just an important sounding name?
Is it like a mental reward for posting more? In any event may Allah reward those new members and reward us in our intentions for our many posts, insha Allah. For on the day of judgment we would take all the blessings we could gather.

yes, it's probably just an incentive for posting..I was trying to think of more 'Islamic' names, but couldn't come up with any.

Do you know the names of the levels in Jennah? I do not know all of them save for Firdos. I think those would be good names personally. So like for Director group name could be at the Firdos level. This is one idea I had...what do you think?

So far, I could not find the names of levels of Jannah, but I did find the names of the gates of one of the levels of Jannah.
Jannah has eight gates around it and each of these eight gates has eleven doors. The names of the eight gates are:
Bab al-Iman. Bab al-Jihad. Bab al-Kadhemean al-Gaidh. Bab ar-Raiyan. Bab ar-Radiyeen. Bab as-Sadaqa. Bab at-Taubah. Bab as-Salat.
Maybe we can use these? Meanwhile I will keep looking for the names of levels inshAllah.

This is one idea I had...what do you think? was-salaam I believe we should keep the forum on an intellectual level rather than making it a self-righteous one, if you know what I mean. I am for equality and against elitest mentality. I think if there is a necessity for grouping it should be either structural or administrative. Such as Manager, co-ordinator, senior, etc.

Yes, I see your point Sister. Although, the names I suggested were again, not levels of Jannah, just different gates... so no seniority going on there. Do you suggest we scrap the whole 'levels based on number of posts' business? or can it be used in a motivational way to get people to participate? Having searched the web for the levels of Jannah has alhamdullilah given me the opportunity to find out more. I've posted an article I found, it's very long, but informative, on Jannah and Jahannam at: islamicrevival.proboards29.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1094771426&start=0May Allah (swt) give us the strength and the motivation to follow His (swt) Deen and to attain the highest level of Jannah - Al Firdous. Ameen.
