    what's islam's stance on the NT of bible's apostles?

    While the companions of Isa (alayhi salaam) are never named in the Qur'an, they were real and there were probably 12 main ones. I'll try to remember them as named in the NT. Matthew; John; Peter; Andrew; Thomas; Judas; (I was able to remember 6 before I had to look it up) James; Philip...

    Leaving Islam

    It would be a shame if you left us! As a Muslim who reverted almost 3 years ago now alhamdulillahi, I think I can relate to some of your points. A few things that help me when my iman gets weak though is to ask myself why I came to Islam in the first place. I studied many of the other...

    MARRIAGE QUESTION????

    In my opinion a small wedding would probably be best because it removes the burden of having it essentially be a performance for the guests and leaves it to be what it is intended to be, a union of you two before Allah in the presence of loved ones.

    What made you convert (main reason)?

    Hooray for Islam! I came to Islam because of the airtight logic of this deen. As a very logical and science minded person I've always held the idea that if there is a perfect religion then it must be able to answer all of the so called unanswerable questions with ease. Alhamdulillahi I...

    On the lack of proof of evolution.

    What follows is a report I did on evolution (or the lack thereof) for school. I though you all may find it interesting. Human Evolution By: Jaffar Abduraheem Ousley The topic I chose to study for this project is human evolution. The subject of evolution as a general field of study, and...

    Hold Your Bottle High!

    What you refer to is mas(h) and from what I gather it is permissible if you put you had wudu when you put your socks on. You may wipe once over the top of your socks or shoes with wet hands. Remember that you must actually wash your feet at least once each day. Some will say that this isn't...

    Poll For Converts Only

    I was raised Baptist and left that religion at the tender age of 13 for Satanism which I followed up until January 2007.

    Saudis campaign against child marriage

    This is getting ridiculous. I see that the example of Rasul Allah's marriage to 11 wives and our limit of 4 is brought up quite a bit to support the theory that ordinary Muslimun are not allowed marriages of the type discussed in this thread. It should be noted that the reason we can...

    Saudis campaign against child marriage

    Subhanallah! Here's the crux of the situation. Rasul Allah (saaws) married Aisha (raa) at the age she was because she had entered puberty and she consented. This is the requirement of Islam. The Saudi attempt to put an age limit on marriage is an affront to the sharia and an obvious attempt...

    Books

    No God But God The best book I've read so far besides Al-Quran was No God But God by Reza Aslan. It is full of history and neat stories.

    Jewel of Medina

    From what I've heard of the book it is at best a exercise in poor taste. We as Muslims don't take liberties with our Prophets or their wives to the extent of creating fiction about them. I understand the premise of free speech and it is my sincere hope that any protest of the book will be...

    jumuah or job?

    I'm less afraid of my boss than I am of Allah. If the situation becomes bad enough and your employer retaliates or fires you, sue the employer. They know the law and if they choose not to follow it there can be serious repercussions. We as Muslims must stand up for the deen of Al-Islam even...

    jumuah or job?

    Hold fast to the rope of Allah. If you live in the the US I'm actually pretty sure that constitutes religious discrimination unless you leaving causes an unsafe environment. Religious discrimination is illegal by the way.

    faeries...

    Here we go again... They would be tricks because tricks serve no real purpose but to dazzle. When I say Jinn (which itself is an Arabic word that as far as I know doesn't have a d in it following standard rules of transliteration), I refer to the Islamic definition of Jinn which is not...

    faeries...

    This thread reminds me that Pan's Labyrinth was an awesome movie. I used to hang out with a lot of witches and the like and they just love to talk about things like this. If fairies do exist, I would have to imagine they are tricks of the jinni because there really doesn't seem to be any...

    Jewish Group Behind US Anti-Islam Film

    An interesting film to say the least. So, I watched Obsession and as horribly biased as it was, I came away with one observation that I would like to share. My observation centers primarily on the woman with no hijab who pretty consistently bashed Islam and more particularly the concept of...

    GET MARRIED!!! lol

    Masha Allah! I always have fun with this topic because of all the married people who are like, "just get married," and all the folks who are like, "I'll get married when I die." Personally, I don't know how easy it is for the rest of you, but I'm having a heck of a time trying to get married.

    how to answer the origin of god to an atheist?

    Lam yalid wa lam yulad. The question of the origin of God was one that I had to find the answer to myself in my own days as an atheist. The answer is actually really simple. In order for something to have an origin it has to have been created which makes it a creation. God is not a creation...

    Somali Dikhr

    Hmm. I'm no scholar or anything and Allah knows best, but it seems to me that everything in these videos is okay so long as no one is saying that they're wajib.
