I bought this book a while ago actually ^_^ I haven't really studied through it yet, but I certainly intend to *knows maybe three words in Arabic* I do wish it went further in depth as far as reading/writing Arabic, as that helps a lot when learning a new language, but maybe it's just me...

The reasoning behind it is that since God (swt) wants us all to die Muslims, we are born into a state of being in exact accordance with His will, that is, Muslim. However, as we grow older and come under outside influences (parents, friends, society in general), we slowly conform to their will...

Assalam aleykum akhi! I'm also a senior and will be graduating this May insha'Allah! It's great to have you here!

Alright, my great grandmother passed away last Sunday, insha'Allah she entered the gates of Paradise, for even though she died a devout Christian woman, she was a good and loving woman to all those around her. She died at the ripe old age of 85, having been married to my great grandfather for 65...

Alright, so I know Ramadan is still almost a month away, but oh well. During the school year, I run for my school's Cross Country (long-distance running) team. I need a lot of water in order to keep my body hydrated and healthy for this activity. However, in Ramadan I'm not supposed to eat or...

I'm glad I cleared that up some with you, but I think there's a few key points I either misexplained or simply left out. - Of course I feel sympathy for those losing their lives and suffering at the hands of our soldiers, and I certainly want all of our men and women back home as much as any...

My opinions are two fold, so I'll start with Afghanistan: The occupation, I do not support that. I did (and still do) stand by the decision of my government to enter Afghanistan with the professed intention of capturing and bringing to justice Osama bin Laden. We were, in that case, retaliating...

I did take a look at that section of the site, and wrote down all the words (Arabic and English) and brief notes on the motions. I have most of it memorized in English, though I know you're supposed to pray in Arabic (at least I read that somewhere, don't quite remember where), but I prefer to...

Jezak'allah khayran for sharing, insha'Allah we will all benefit :)

The link gives a 404 error....:(

You're right, mass media has a tendency to not portray ANY group in a positive light unless it's getting a lot of funding from that group. But of course, groups such as the Mujaheedin only make things easier for the media to do this by providing them (the media) facts to generalize from, such...

Hey you've definitely got my du'a, and I'd like to be remembered in yours, as I'm in the same position, except Ramadan for me falls during the early school year, and my country's definitely NOT Muslim majority. I'm sorry to hear your family didn't accept your choice, I'm still kind of fearing...

Yay! Another US revert, even if she is on the other side of the continent from me (just like all the others :lol:)!! Welcome to TTI sis, this place is truly wonderful, I came in a non-believer and now look at me, just said my shahadah a few days ago and already loving it!

Hey Multi, I was trying to read the whole thread before I replied, but after your first post, I just couldn't help myself. You sound almost exactly like I was when I first came to this site under a different username over a year ago. I had little or no faith in any religion, due to my own...

Thank you bro/sis (I'm horrible at telling online :lol:), I'll remember that. However, I would like to know what those three lines mean in English, or I'll feel like I'm just spitting out random Arabic words, and that's not exactly praying whole-heartedly :lol:

Wow, I posted this right before going to bed and it quite literally exploded. This is exactly the sort of kinship and friendliness that started me on the path to the Path (if that made any sense :P). I am seventeen, and I thank all of you for your enthusiasm. I will certainly remember you in my...

Alrighti, as those of you who read my intro post know, I've had several questions about converting to Islam, all of which have been answered beautifully, even if I was unhappy with the results of some of them (read: music). But truth be told, as I was looking across this article...

I don't think it's her choice, Knowledge. She said Fatimah would be placed in foster care by child services. I don't live in the UK, and I'm not looking for a family regardless, but I wish you all the best of luck, and I'm sure everyone here will be praying for you.

But oh, that's right, my opinions matter nothing because I'm an American.

*Sigh* And to think how enthusiastic I was to have found a community which I *thought* was full of people dedicated to the religion of peace. And yet every time I see a post of compassion, reason and understanding, like outsider's, I see it almost invariably followed by one like this, pointing...
