    Dua while driving/travelling

    Glad to read that sister. Age ain't nothin' but a number! He said, "My Lord, how will I have a boy when I have reached old age and my wife is barren?" The angel said, "Such is Allah ; He does what He wills." 3:40 I didn't know that you live as a minority, so yes it is a little difficult. I...

    Dua while driving/travelling

    Not questioning who you supplicate to sister, just reminding you that Allah answers you, since you asked the question if He will respond. Why do you fear that the answer is "no" when you have no knowledge of the answer or the ability to hear it? Human company does not equate to care. If I am...

    Why did you become Muslim ? (post your answer)

    I was born into it, but I never really read the Quran in its translations. Have read/recite it in whole in Arabic but I didn't know what it meant. I could have lived the rest of my life in ignorance and not knowing its contents. When I committed myself to reading the translations I had mixed...

    Muslim woman committed suicide

    I apologize for being unclear. I wasn't establishing anything, just pointing out that people who want to kill themselves, especially in this case the person having problems because she's not living a pious life, forgets that Allah is Merciful. And yes, the surat regarding Moses (alayhi salam)...

That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the...
