Asalaamu alaikum all... it has been a long time since I've been on here, and even longer since I've posted anything... just wanted to come and give you all a greeting. May ALLAH keep you all safe.

Is there a way to get rid of the annoying pop up over here <--- that scrolls up and down with the website? It has the FB "like" and the twitter "tweet" options....

Asalaamu alaikum - I am curious as to what Islam's stance is to interfaith dialogue. I know that some shayukh particularly here in the US have open celebrations etc with leaders from Christian and Jewish communities, and here in Sacramento this year one masjid even opened its doors to allow...

Asalaamu alaikum - It has been several months since I've been here, not that any of you missed me I am sure lol :) But I have a question, if you don't mind.... I am under the impression - by every shaykh I've asked, including Jamaal Zarabozo who wrote a book on the subject - that we are...

This really has me upset. So many people in Sacramento consider this the pinnacle masjid in Sacramento yet this is standard for them. http://www.sacbee.com/2012/03/14/4337049/sacramento-christian-congregation.html

Asalaamu alaikum My facebook is blowing up with people supporting Khader Adnan, a Palestinian imprisoned by Israel who is currently on a hunger strike. My question is this: should we support an act like this? Hunger strike = suicide which (last I heard) was haraam in Islam. Am I...

Asalaamu alaikum - I've befriended a brother at the masjid who took shahadah about two and a half months ago. One of the other brothers who I've known and respected for a while sent me a text message about two weeks ago asking if I knew anyone who was looking to rent a room, as his roommate...

Asalaamu alaikum I've been curious about a few things concerning the shahadah. I know nobody on this page is a shaykh but maybe we can discover a few answers together inshallah... First: If a child is born to Muslim parents and strays, say in his or her teens they are influenced by...

Asalaamu alaikum - This subject came up in a recent brothers' halaqa at my masjid. (Interpretation of the meaning:) Qur’an 3:132 - And obey Allah and the Messenger that you may obtain mercy. Qur’an 4:80 - He who obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah; but those who turn away - We have...

Asalaamu alaikum - Recently I spent a few days in the hospital (again) and my nurse was a sister from Afghanistan. Every time I gave her the salaam, she replied with "Allah hafiz" instead of "wa alaikum salaam". I'm not familiar with this form of greeting, and was a bit put off by it...

Asalaamu alaikum - Several of my brothers on my Facebook are involved on a site supporting "Friendly Debate" between Christianity and Islam. These friendly debates, to me eyes, look like arguing. Avoiding the "facebook is haraam!!!" discussion here please, am I not mistaken that we have...

Asalaamu alaikum - I am writing a paper about Virtual Reality and Islam and was trying to find something to back the separation of our genders but I can't find anything. I can find no hadith and no Qur'an quote saying that our men and our women should be kept apart. I find that the...

Asalaamu alaikum - I've mentioned that I'm losing my house, but that I consider that a blessing. Here's why: When I first became Muslim I did not know that paying interest (riba) was haraam. I had bought my house just 7 months prior to taking shahadah. When I found out that it was not...

Asalaamu alaikum - I'm under the impression that saying "JazakAllah" by itself is considered poor grammar and is frowned upon by Arabic speakers. Indeed it seems the habit of saying "JazakAllah" by itself is done mostly by people from non-Arabic speaking countries (South Asia, Turkey, USA...

Asalaamu alaikum - Though I'm not very active on this site any more, I decided to come and see if I could get some advice. And by advice, I'm not talking about long extensive ahadith quotes that I already know. I have a full beard, a nice lehya that I'm quite proud of. I even have...

Asalaamu alaikum and Eid Mubarak - I have an online friend who has been studying Islam for a while now and is ready to take shahadah. He went to the masjid near his home and told the imam what he plans, and the imam sent him to a sister! Of course the sister couldn't speak to him in private...

Asalaamu alaikum - Recently I've heard (twice now) in khutbahs about a Companion who killed a man in battle right after the man proclaimed his shahadah. The hadith went something like this: A Companion was about to slay a man in battle and the man quickly said the shahadah. The...

Asalaamu alaikum - Tonight I was sitting with the hafiz teacher at my masjid. After sitting on the floor for a while I decided to pull a chair up. The hafiz got a bit incensed and told me to move the chair further away because there were Quran copies nearby. He kept telling me “further...

Asalaamu alaikum - I have had some "paranormal activity" in my house pretty much since I moved in back in 2008. Little disturbances like things thumping the walls, the sensation of someone bumping into our beds (both mine & my roommate's across the hall). The previous roommate who moved...

Asalaamu alaikum - I've recently gotten into a heated discussion with a friend in Saudi Arabia, talking about the new thing there about allowing women to drive. He said women are not allowed to go outside unescorted. I told him I am unaware of any hadith saying this. IS there a hadith...
