#IslamFact #13

If you are in a Life-or-Death scenario, certain acts such as eating haram food, like pork, blood, or carrion, or other sinful acts can be done to survive, but only if there are no halal alternatives:


“He has only forbidden you to eat carrion, blood, swine, and what is slaughtered in the name of any other than Allah. But if someone is compelled by necessity—neither driven by desire nor exceeding immediate need—they will not be sinful. Surely Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.”

Source: [Quran, 2:173]


So say you are on a deserted island, and the only food source you can find are wild pigs, it would be permissable to eat them to not starve, even if pork is haram

Which also means Jack Sparrow technically never sinned when he drank the rum on that island, as it was his only source of water, and he'd otherwise die of thirst

This could also work with sins not food-related, like say you are forced at gunpoint to commit a crime, it wouldn't be a sin as you are forced to do so

Today, I've 100%ed No Man's Sky's achievements

Surprising for me, since I don't consider myself a completionist, and this is my very first game to 100%, so I'm pretty happy.

Also I've built a nice base in Eissentam and "found" a beautiful Sentinel Ship :)

Hmm... favourite gaming spaceship...

Pretty tough question, since I have quite the menagerie of starships in No Man's Sky, from my new white Sentinel Ship, to my Living Ship, to my giant EAGLE Corvette, and many more.

I think I'll go with...

There's still time to post YOUR nail art and enter Opera GX's #GXNailArt contest! (Here's some of what your fellow Jolters have posted.)

All the artists are tagged in the article. Go like their original posts!

No Man's Sky has won Best Ongoing game at the Game Awards :D

BOO. It's been a while...

Sorry I've not posted since last year, I've been pretty busy with exams.

Anyway, for my first post of 2026, here's a dumb meme I made once ;)

Happy Joltidays! A new quest has entered your quest log. Accept the quest and follow @ColesyGaming to open today's slot on the calendar.

Just got to the Centre of the Galaxy in Permadeath mode and got the achievement

(also found out doing this in Permadeath simultaneously gives you the achievement for doing the same on Survival mode, so that's a 2 in 1 deal)

Also here's some photos ;)
