It's sad, really. I'm speechless.

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...

Sometimes I wonder if my past mistakes will be forgiven. It's hard to live not knowing until reawakened. Thank you for bringing up this ayat. JazakAllah khayr.

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...

The only guide is the Quran or the only guide is Allah? ;)

Of course Allah heard you. WaAllahu samee'un. [...] And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. 3:34 And remember the favor of Allah upon you and His covenant with which He bound you when you said, "We hear and we obey"; and fear Allah . Indeed, Allah is Knowing of that within the breasts. 5;7 Allah...

Alhamdulillah My teacher once told me a story of how he was in a garden and people around him saying that a certain person is the Prophet Ibrahim. He tried to look, but could only see from a distance, the Prophet surrounded by a crowd. He just saw that the Prophet is a very tall man (my...

These hasten to good things and they are foremost in (attaining) them. 23:61 We need more sense of urgency to act toward good.

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...

Nice redesign on the site :banana:

And [there is a share for] those who came after them, saying, "Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts [any] resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful." 59.10

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)...

And [recall] when Moses said to his people, "O my people, indeed you have wronged yourselves by your taking of the calf [for worship]. So repent to your Creator and kill yourselves. That is best for [all of] you in the sight of your Creator." Then He accepted your repentance; indeed, He is the...

:wasalam: Consider an economics degree sister. It would give you a skill set. I had an economics professor that researched human trafficking in Europe. Here's a link that might help you. http://www.bls.gov/ooh/Life-Physical-and-Social-Science/Economists.htm#tab-2 You can also check out the...

:salam2: I'm here to share an asset allocation system that I've planned for myself based on the pyramid priority and some ayats from the Quran. Please take into account that this is not financial advice for anyone. I am not an Islamic financial advisor. You would have to seek those...

It's better if we focus on doing good in this world, make a meaningful contribution. It's best to leave this discussion to Allah who will bring clarity to what we differ on. And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as...

I've lived in USA for 15+ years and I must say the community experienced in USA masjids are wonderful. I meet new brothers, and my wife enjoy being on the sisters side as well. I developed a sense of attachment to it, I am abroad now, and I very much miss it :(

Wa alaykumus salaam brother, Sorry I am late in my reply. Been off the forum and busy. What do you suggest I change it to? Thank you.

One of the women said, "O my father, hire him. Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and the trustworthy." | He said, "Indeed, I wish to wed you one of these, my two daughters, on [the condition] that you serve me for eight years; but if you complete ten, it will be [as a favor] from...
