Meem Community Guidelines

Last updated: July 14, 2026

Assalamu Alaikum, and welcome to Meem.

Meem is a place for Muslims around the world to talk about everyday life - food, travel, style, money, family - share opinions, and be heard by the brands that serve our community. It works because members treat it like a gathering in a home: warm, honest, and respectful. These guidelines describe how we keep it that way. They're part of our Terms of Service, but we've written them the way we'd say them to a friend.

One rule above all (Rule 11): Meem has zero tolerance for hate speech toward any religion or its followers - including other faiths, their figures, and their places of worship, and including sectarian attacks between Muslim groups. Such content is removed on sight and strikes your account immediately. Meem hosts faith; it never fights about it.

The guidelines

1. Lead with respect

Disagree with ideas, not with people. No insults, mockery, or pile-ons. If you wouldn't say it in a majlis with elders present, don't post it here.

2. Be honest

Don't post things you know to be false or misleading. Reviews and recommendations should reflect your real experience. Misinformation - especially about health, safety, or religion - gets removed.

3. No harassment or bullying

Don't target, shame, threaten, or repeatedly unwanted-contact another member. There are no DMs on Meem by design - it keeps the community in the open, where good manners live. Please don't try to work around that.

4. Honor every madhhab and background

Meem is home to Muslims of every school of thought, background, and level of practice. Share your perspective; don't declare someone else's invalid. Discussions stay on our shared ground.

5. Don't issue rulings

Nobody on Meem - including Meem itself - issues fatwas. Share knowledge with sources, say "ask your local scholar" generously, and present your view as your view. Posts claiming religious authority will be removed.

6. Don't self-certify halal

Say "this is certified by [certifier]" or "the community recommends it" - never present something as halal-verified on your own authority, and know that Meem never certifies anything as halal either.

7. Keep it clean

No sexually explicit, graphically violent, or otherwise obscene content. This is a space families should feel comfortable in.

8. Respect privacy

Don't share anyone's personal information - photos, addresses, phone numbers, private conversations - without their clear permission. Doxxing is an immediate suspension.

9. Be yourself

One person, one account. No impersonating people or organizations, no fake accounts, no pretending to be a scholar, certifier, or brand.

10. No spam or point-gaming

No repetitive promotion, scams, or link-farming. Don't manipulate polls, Meems, or rewards with fake accounts, scripts, or coordinated voting - it corrupts the research our community's voice depends on, and points earned that way are removed.

11. Zero tolerance for religious hate - any religion

This is our brightest line. Hate speech toward any religion or its followers - mockery, insults, or dehumanization of other faiths, their figures, or their places of worship - has no place on Meem. The same applies with full force to sectarian attacks between Muslim groups. The Quran itself teaches us not to insult what others revere (Quran 6:108).

Meem hosts faith. It never fights about it.

12. When in doubt, report - don't retaliate

See something that breaks these guidelines? Use the report button on any post, comment, or member, or email support@joinmeem.com. Don't answer bad behavior with more bad behavior - reports reach a human, and we act on them.

How enforcement works

In short: Break a rule, get a strike. Three strikes and your account goes read-only. The worst violations skip straight to suspension. You can appeal anything.

Thank you for keeping Meem what it is. May your presence here be a blessing to the community - and the community a blessing to you.
