Muslims initially migrated from Mecca because Islam was not tolerated there. In the Quran it says to fight only if you are first fought, and not to transgress. Muslims could not practise freely in Mecca, thus they were obligated to travel to a place that permited them to do so. This makes...

The theory does indeed state that a species is required to evolve or die when strenuous demands are placed on the species over a long period of time. However, apes and humans are not actually direct ancestors of each other - they are both descendants of a common ancestor, who is now extinct...

If by 'the beyond' you mean the unknown, that which can never be grasped by us humans than yes that is crazy. I would never dedicate my life to that, that would be folly. If by the 'beyond' you mean astrophysics and the science of the big bang then no you are not crazy because that isn't the...

Salam True_Sultan I've had similar issues in the past where my mark wen't down 5-10% on any given test though I had known the material. My first advice although you've probably heard it more times than you care to remember, is to sleep well before a test day. Really. You can't imagine how...

salam alaykum Honestly I think you would be overburdening yourself if you chose to take up both jobs. Sorry for being so negative. But if you think about it you'll have to juggle between your job as a physician and your communal duties as an imam - can you lead friday prayer and salah zuhr or...

Coincidentally the guy who organized this event was arrested for child ****ography. Oh the humiliation...

The latest time for Suhor is the same for fajr. When does the fajr prayer happen for you guys over there? For us it's at about 4 52, so we stop eating at about 4 50.

:salam2: What do you guys think of them? My history teacher was of the opinion they were evil and can cause some disturbing things to happen. She told us she even knew a women who died after contacting dark spirits through it. It's basically a piece of cardboard with a bunch of letters...

Yes! That's the one. Tyvm. wasalam

Thank you :) I also like your user name.

:salam2: Happy pre-Ramadan :D I hope you're all doing well. I was wondering if anyone knew of a Quranic ayah that went along the lines of this "You may have uttered a word that you may have thought little (of), but to Allah it was devestating'", or it would cause you eternity". I really need...

I think my family follows the Hanafi madhab, though I myself do not adhere to a particular school. I have yet to do much research on all of them to decide the strongest points I wan't to pick from each one. But I have never heard that Hanafis have any such ideas. In fact I asked my mom the other...

Hmm, what kind of cake?

I've been following this discussion from the beginning and have some things to share. My parent, who are together thank God, both work together in the same business. My dad opened up a trucking company a couple years ago and immediately he needed my mom to work from home as a dispatcher...

This essay is about the misconception of women in Islam and why Muslim females are in fact more liberated than their non-Muslim counterparts. It is written by a 17 year old in Toronto -- Sultana Yusuf Ali MY BODY IS MY OWN BUSINESS I probably do not fit into the preconceived notion of a...

I always get goosebumps when reading this. This was the last sermon of the Prophet incase anyone didn't know. :)

How relevant!

:salam2: Yesterday morning, a 23 year old Muslim was found dead lying on his bed. His mother walked in on him the morning that day while he was unresponsive. Only the night before, the young male and his mother spoke with each other as they would have usually done. He was one of my...

I don't really know enough about the "maid" topic to comment on that, but I don't think you know enough either. I was recently in Kuwait living with my uncle who had a maid and I seen her being treated very well. Perhaps this is the exception to the "universal truth". To your second point, I...
