woah everyone seems to have been awake while i was asleep!! first things first... the idea of segragation is one that i don't really approve of in this instance. the society is about bringing muslims (and non-muslims) together rather than dividing them. We don't really deal with serious...

Thank you for all of your help. He's just not a very understanding person. We don't get on at all because he criticised my grammer behind my back and said that there had been loads of complaints when no-one else had a clue what he was talking about. i reallise that I'm beginning to rant now...

The thing is that according to the university the room is actually a prayer room and not a mosque. We had a vote as a society as to whether we should ask non-muslims to wear a hijab in the mosque/prayer building and he was the only person who voted that they should. I suggested that we have...

Hi, I am the secretary of my universities islamic society. last night we had a meeting in the mosque and two non muslim women attended. We stayed in the women's section until the men had finished praying and then moved through in to the main room for the actual meeting. About half way...

salaam just a quick question.....should we be celebrating muhammad pbuh birthday with decorations and marches? i'd like evidence from the hadeeths to prove it either way. thank you

i suppose you're right. i can't guarantee that no one will get drunk. i really like the sound of the coconut coktails instead of alcohol. thank you for your help, i feel much better about things now and my partner will be pleased that i have come round to his way of thinking!!

thank you for the article. i am a converting muslim and i find it so difficult when everyone has a different opinion on the simplest of things.

thanks for all your replies. lol i love the fact that every time i ask a muslim this question every one of them has assumed that my family will get drunk!! i think i am finding this difficult as at white weddings we toast the bride and groom with champage, more as a symbol than the fact that...

i jsut have a quick question which would solve alot of discussions between me and my husband to be. I am a revert from a white non-religious background and he is a "born" muslim from a Pakistani background and we wish to have a Muslim wedding. My question is should our guests be allowed to...

thanks for all of your replies, i feel the same as you BGfromGB but my partner (who is a muslim) suggested that i should ask so that i should be sure. i strongly believe that we shall not be condemmed for using our body to save someone else when we are no longer in need of it. It is our...

hi, im a new muslim and i hold a donor card however i was recently told that muslims do not donate their organs after death. please could somebody tell me if this is true and whether this is mentioned in the hadiths. i'm a bit confused as i thought that helping others who need organs would be a...

when the first crusaders settled in the areas around the holy land instead of trying to convert the muslims as they should have done they instead adopted many of their customs including food and dress. not the best muslim fact i'm aware but im still learning myself at the moment. i do think this...
