    Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatu brothers and sisters. I am a muslimah revert in Utah (hard place to be a Muslim I'll tell you that), and though we have a few masjids in northern Utah, there are none close enough that some of us more toward the south can go to. My question is...can...

    My Parents banned everything Islam

    I don't have any muslim relatives either. I know how hard it is to be the only muslim in an all christian family in the U.S. Sister I don't know that i would recommend moving at such a young age, I think that should be ur last resort. Sister if you don't mind me asking, I don'tknow if you...

    is seafood haram?

    Most people that are not religious at all still do not eat cat fish. it it possible they do not eat it because of its filth. It tends to feed mostly on garbage. I just thought I'd kinda add that. NOt just religious people find it a dirty fish.

    Question to Brothers who live in the U.S (Sisters can join too)

    Are you asking if jeans are a problem brother? I myself have seen many brothers wearing jeans when I see them at Friday prayer, I think as long as they're not really tight, and you have a belt to keep them up that it should be fine. But thats just my opinion. Even I wear jeans...I just wear...

    finding marriage remains difficult

I wish you...

    how do i perform salah while sitting?

    This would work while on a plane right? Because the aisle's are not big enough and they don't allow u back in the area where the flight attendants prepare drinks and snacks... so we can just sit in our chairs and do this??

    Reverts - Curious

    The one thing that really piqued my interest toward Islam was its regard toward us women. We are respected in Islam unlike any other religion, and I loved that there isn't the hipocracy I saw as a Mormon. Also I wanted to be a part of a religion that said, it doesn't matter if you're a...

    What is the correct way to teach children and call them to Allaah?

    yes This is very good, but some advice that we all should take into consideration...
