Jazaak Allahu khayran for posting something so beneficial! Amazing read. Just a small question: where did you obtain this story from?

Wow, truly amazing poem. I loved it! :D

What do you all think? I think the "no-fly zone" is actually really smart.

Where does that video celebrate Zionism?

I don't want to be a hypocrite when saying this because I listen to the Qur'an when driving and sometimes focus more on driving than the recitation (for obvious reasons) and then feel guilty about it. But, my take is when the Qur'an is playing it should be listened to and not treated as...

I'm going to have to jump in for dianek. Firstly, I want to say that I completely agree with her posting this thread. Why? Because she didn't post it with the intention to make a political statement, she did it with the intention of helping her brothers and sisters! This sister has repeatedly...

Thank you for your concern regarding my statement, however, that was besides my point. I only used that as a figure of speech and didn't mean it literally. My point was that it seems many people on this board are busying themselves with argumentation of why genocide is occuring in Darfur. I was...

I completely agree with you that these laws aren't fully based on morality and justice, and that in many places in the world justice isn't taking place when it can (i.e. Guantanamo Bay). I just find it difficult to hear people speak so little of what is occuring in Darfur. Whatever the...

Solely regarding the International Criminal Court, I suggest both of you watch the movie "Darfur Now". It will briefly explain how the International Criminal Court works. They don't prosecute anyone unless and untill there is a proposed crime commited by the accused perpetrators and unless there...

If you knew what was going on in Darfur, then without doubt youre answer would be yes. President Omar Al-Bashir is responsible for the rape, killing, torturing and displacement of over 4.5 million people. :astag:

JazaakAllah for sharing this. It really helped stimulate thought.

I just saw the video you were referring to, the one with Sister Fatima writing about Abu Ghraib right? There are many things we can do to help the people of Darfur. If you go to Islamic Relief, sponsoring an orphan from Darfur is only $28, any working person can afford this! In May, I...

Firstly, your question is extremely vague. To answer what I think you're asking: Allah didn't just send it to Arabs, the message was given to all the world, but revealed to an Arab. We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom. (Qur'an: 12:2) Thus have We...

I've noticed a few threads on homosexuality and came across an interesting question: If there is a man who is homosexual, but will abstain from it out of fear of Allah, what will he do when it comes time for marriage? If he's sincerely gay, how is he going to be able to please his wife if he's...

Very interesting video! Watching this video actually provoked me to read other books and watch other documentaries on it. Now I plan to study there in the future InshaAllah. :D Jazaak Allahu khayran for posting this and sharing this beautiful Muslim history with us!

As Salaamu 'Alaykum, I just wanted to share this with you guys since I live in America and thought it was really interesting, and quite surprising actually. PqbQWxHIn4U

If you go to www.freequran.org, you can order a new Qur'an, for free! Trust me, I've actually tried it and it works. It takes about a month for it to reach you, but this way you can InshaAllah use the online Qur'an untill this one reaches you. :)

Please do tell your story. If it will help me within my situation, it is highly welcome. Jazaak Allahu khayran for all of your responses brothers and sisters. :)

Nobody has any advice?

As Salaamu 'Alaykum, What do you guys think of Islamic Studies programs in Western institutions? For example, my goal is to finish a Masters and/or Ph.D, InshaAllah, in Islamic and Arabic Studies, but to also take a break before or after my Masters and go to a Madrassa to take an 'Alim...
