    Check what you buy!

    Salaam, Another thing I almost forgot- when you get pills like Vitamin E, Glucosamine etc, it comes in a jelly-like capsule which according to the pharmacist, it is made of gelatine. Try getting the vegetarian capsules or tablets. But usually it is difficult to get vitamin E in tablets or...

    are you ever afraid to dress islamically?

    Asalamualaikum wrb, Coming from a society where most muslim women wear hijab, it was difficult for me at first when I moved to a Western society. I thought of not wearing the Hijab for a few months, get used to the country, and then wear my hijab. And like brother nyerekareem, after 9/11, it...

    Eid 2008

    Asalamualaikum, I think it depends on where you are? Like how Eid Mubarak is different in every country (e.g. 30th Sept for Iraq but 1st Oct for countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Australia etc). It'll be on the 8th Dec for me! Walaykum Salam

    Salaam, I'm quite surprise to hear that from everyone! Really, I'm just glad I'm done and over with A-levels and in fact, prefer to be in university than in college.

    :salam2: I have a question and I hope it is not too stupid to ask :( Lately, I've only been listening Quran recitations and I also recite it myself. I know it is haraam to recite it in the toilet but the problem I'm facing is that the quran recitations keeps replaying in my head again and...

    Need some encouraging words!

    Salaam Sister, I think it is alright to visit her grandparents during Christmas. I'm sure your intention is not to celebrate the event but more of bringing your daughter so that they can see her. Every year my christian friends would invite me for Christmas and even prepared (halal) food and...
