Thank you for your reply. No disrespect to you, but in my quest for truth, I have found a great deal of opinion shrouded in apparent fact. Is there anything specific in the Quran to substantiate your claim that some pillars are more important than others? After all, if what you say is true and...

I wanted to put this out there because on the surface it seems very strange to me, and I can't really get it to make any sense. Among my muslim friends here in Singpore, I've noticed that there are certain notions about "good islamic behaviour" that are very much ranked in importance. The...

Thank you for your reply. I note that the Quran and Hadith both have great importance. I do accept your point that women and men have physiological and psychological differences -- and that this accounts for people's differing aptitude for certain things. But, specifically to say that more...

It seems your point is very crucial. Can you please clarify it since Mabsoot did not mention this in his lengthy (thank you) response? Are you saying that the Quran forbid converts to marry muslim women? But muslim men are allowed to marry non-muslims? In other words, Islam does not allow us...

Hi everyone, I've just joined as a new member -- because I desperately need help. I have been dating a Muslim girl for 8 months now. She recently told her Father (a university professor) and he has told her that he forbids it. He has never met me and knows virtually nothing about me...
