An idea I came across years ago, that I always try to practice is to give something yummy, such as home made biscuits/cookies or chocolates in a trinket box or on a nice plate/bowl, which they can then keep always and every time the use it, will think of the gifter.

Thank you Azafar, that makes much more sense. Michelle

I visited the Philippines many years ago and got to experience eating food on banana leaves with my hands. It was a great experience. I always eat pizza with my hands, even in restaurants. Michelle

I have heard it said many times that humans do not come with manuals on how to operate them (especially babies). I think this is wrong, the Quran seems to be just that, the operational manual for our life. :hijabi:

omahmed, I am from Australia. Where were you planning on going to for work? We have many different communities here and some which will be more friendly than others. We also have laws which prevent people not employing you because of your religious beliefs. If you stick with public...

Proud to be a Muslim, thank you so much for posting all those vids. I watched the whole lot, in between having to answer the phone :). Very informative, I wasn't aware music was forbidden, yet I kinda knew there wasn't any *real* Islamic music out there. Michelle

Maybe it's happened by now, but the UK could create hate crime laws, like we did. It doesn't have to be based on race, but has to be caused by hatred. Michelle

Hello K, welcome to the forum. You most definitely are welcome here and I have no doubt you will find many questions you have answered. This is very much a warm and friendly place for Muslims and non Muslims alike. I myself have only recently reverted so will have no answers for you yet...

Thank you everyone. It may seem quick that I have made this decision after joining this forum, but the truth is, it has been a long journey back to Islam which started when I was 8. My search has been genuine and at times caused me a lot of emotional pain. For many years I wanted nothing to...

Welcome to the forum. I joined not long ago and only just reverted, Alhamdulilah! I know you will find it very welcoming here as I have and very friendly. Michelle

Hello everyone, I have just reverted with a wonderful sister over the phone. It took a couple of tries to get the pronunciation right but I got there :D Am very happy. Feel a contentment and lightness in my heart I've never felt before. I may not know much yet, but I know I've made the...

Welcome, I have recently joined myself, from Brissy, and I have found everyone to be so friendly and welcoming. This is such a great place to be and there is so much to learn, I keep coming back. I don't know who you are, as I don't know the forums you mentioned, but welcome. Michelle

Just reading this made me start to get itchy all over. eew, I don't know what I would do if it was ever me. It shows great strength to have been able to cope as long as you did.

My sister has OCD, so I understand a little what you are going through. She did a course of therapy to learn ways to help her cope. One thing she was told was to ask if someone without OCD would be concerned about that issue? i can't help you with whether you need to cleanse the area, but I...

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome. I assure you, I will not be shy in asking questions :) You will be seeing me in here quite a lot, as I'm learning more I'm finding there is more I want to learn. Michelle
