Assalamu alaikum, I'm looking around for as many unrevised, original translations of the Quran as possible, and I'm not finding this the easiest task. Publishers are always revising texts into modern English, or are changing words here and there as they see fit, but I'm wanting translated...

Did you know, sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I think it's more than obvious that Zayd11 meant God's, i.e., 'of God'. If you idolise the hadith compilers, then you ought to know that, 'a true believer speaks only good words, otherwise, remains silent.'.

"God puts forth a Parable: a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other*, and a man belonging entirely to one master**: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to God! but most of them do not know.". 39:29 *Hadiths **Quran http://members.aol.com/masadi/hadith.htm

Why should we speak ill of people in any way at any time? We are not instructed to do this. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful: O ye who believe! Shun much suspicion; for lo! some suspicion is a crime. And spy not, neither backbite one another. Would one of you love to eat...

Assalamu alaikum, In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful: Those who spend their wealth for the cause of Allah and afterward make not reproach and injury to follow that which they have spent; their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them, neither shall...

Assalamu alaikum Zaynab, I'm 25, although there is a poll somewhere around here which indicates that most voters, are in our twenties. This may just indicate the age group of the majority of people who have decided to vote in the poll, rather than be an accurate reflection of the majority...

Assalamu alaikum sister Kylie, Hehe. Yes, I know what the pictures on the link to the '99 Names' site mean, I was asking what the blue and white calligraphy avatars in brother Adam's collection meant. As I quite like those ones but don't know what they mean...

Assalamu alaikum bro, Thanks for the response. It was just weird. I can get pretty paranoid too. Hah. Okay, that makes sense now, I didn't know about that and couldn't work out what might be going on. Well, the e-mail itself was strange the way it was typed out, with spaces so that a...

Assalamu alaikum. I wanted to post here to relate some rather weird goings on with my inbox, and I wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar. Earlier I had a message to my inbox, a new member or someone masquerading as such, that had '0' posts to 'her' name, sent a PM asking me to...

Indeed, which is sort of my point. You don't have to renounce your culture to be a Muslim brother, as much as some would delight in that, it's just those things in Muslim inspired and none-Muslim cultures alike that run counter to Islam that we have to renounce, and the noble name 'Patrick'...

Assalamu alaikum dear brother. May I please draw your attention to something: http://www.names4muslims.com/meanings.php?list=100&meaning=noble There is absolutely nothing wrong with the name 'Patrick', it is not haram. We are instructed to honour our parents, even if they have injured...

Assalamu alaikum Alkathiri, What a wonderful thing to be called upon to do. Good luck and God bless with this task brother. You know, Massi's use of the word, 'profete' (prophet :tongue: ), made me think of 'professional athlete', which is what I thought that Massi was intending at first in...

Salam Shyhijabi, It's certainly disappointing to read of something like that in an environment such as this. PM's do not have the facility to be flagged. You ought to send the offensive PM's to the administrator or a moderator, although I imagine that by now a moderator may have PM'ed you...

Assalamu alaikum, I also think that this is a possible manifestation of this prophecy, the reference to cattle also brings to mind electric prods, and tasers: KMpEr-MOSyk One of many thousands of examples. He got put on administrative leave, with pay, that's Western 'justice' for you...

Assalamu alaikum, Brother Nazir, it appears as if I didn’t respond your post but I didn’t intend this, I think that you must have sent it as I was thinking what to type in my last post. Yes, I see what you mean. So I hear, and this is a comfort. I’m doing this now, just reflecting...

Salam Adam, Thanks. I've managed to get it to display now. :wink: I don't know what was going wrong earlier, the site must just have not been in the mood for uploading avatars. Haha. I like the colourful 'Allah' one, and the blue and white calligraphy ones, but what do they say?

Assalamu alaikum, I've found some beautiful pictures that would make good avatars, trouble is, I'm finding it very difficult to get one uploaded. Can anyone help? http://www.arthafez.com/Gallery/99_Names_of_Allah/Thumbnails/01.htm I'm after this:

Assalamu alaikum all :SMILY259:, Thanks to all of you who have come to offer me help with this. I was really pleased to see so much response, and I appreciate it. I’ll make a note of your usernames in a list to ask for blessings for each of you in dua. I have a good book all about dua, so...

Assalamu alaikum, I have got over feeling any confusion and awkwardness when it comes to prayer, and I am feeling like I am starting to make that connection with Allah, and my confidence is building in my routine all the time. I find this hard to explain so bear with me. In salaat, I like...

Assalamu alaikum to all, Well, I had a packet of prawns which I ended up giving to the cat, as I didn't know whether they were halal or not. According to this site, it suggests that prawns are haram: http://www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/fhalal1.htm Prawns aren't fish, they're crustaceans...
