Oh, brother, of course I completely forgive you. I am humbled by your apology, and I in return apologise for anything I may have said that hurt you or another brother or sister. I love you all for the sake of Allah. I think this thread is creating quite a wonderful Domino effect... It's getting...

I completely agree. I was glued to the TV all day waiting for more developements to be divulged, and when they finally announced that Sadam was dead, I couldn't help but feel sad. Obviously not because I liked him or what he did to his citizens, but my sentiments were directed towards a brother...

WOW! Wow, I didn't know all of these companies were donating to Israel. That's kind of scary. I grew up believing all of those Christian fundamentalist pastors who raved about the importance of being supportive of the State of Israel, believing, as they said, "Those who bless Israel, God will...

Thank you, brother.... I am not familiar with how quality of character is assumed in Islam, because I am so new. As it is, I am currently in a house owned by my Christian in-laws, in a state that is far away from where my husband and I live, for a holiday that I do not celebrate. And I will...

Salam, everyone. I am a new Muslim, and right now I am very discouraged. A brother has hurt me very much and has caused me much frustration. What should I do? What does the Quran say to do when a fellow Muslim has been unkind to his sister? ~ Joslyn ~ :shymuslima1:

Again, what had ANY of this post (but 2% of it) have to do with what I had just written? I think you are just looking to spew your anger. I am glad I never met Muslims like you before reverting, or I would probably have been so put off, I would have never have considered Islam. And then I would...

Brother, I am trying to respect you right now, but you make my own phillosophy very difficult to act out. I write a whole post about what I was really talking about when you jumped the gun and assumed I was calling you a liar. You could at least have the decency to say, "Thanks. Guess I took you...

Salaam... It is so good to meet you! :) I am currently visiting the Boston area with my husband for the holidays. His parents live in Methuen and so here we are. lol. Have you always lived here? Are you a revert, or were you brought up Muslim?

I did not mean to imply that you were lying. I merely said that as Muslims we cannot lie, *meaning* we should tell the absolute truth about everything and we should also want to know what the truth is concerning a subject if we have accidently said something that was not fully accurate. Also, if...

Correction Hello, brother. I am a revert from Catholicism and I just wanted to point out an error in what you said, because as Muslims, we cannot lie, and I also don't want a potential Catholic revert to read what you said and discount Islam completely because of one mistake. (I know that I...

Oh, wow! There we go... just figured it out! :)

That's a good question. :) I haven't figured out quite yet how to change my profile or my screen name, if it can be done, to a more Islamic name. If you know how, please let me know! :salah:

The past few days have been hard for me. I am a recent convert/revert to Islam, and my husband is a Lebanese Maronite Catholic. We are spending the Christmas season with his family near Boston, and it includes a lot of Mass-going, gift-giving, and Catholic praying. I've also come close to going...

Yes, certainly! :) I found this site long before I converted/reverted about two weeks ago! There's so much to offer-- videos (which were a huge help for me) and a forum to ask questions. Even when a particular "difficult" issue gets raised, I saw how everyone worked together to get the answer or...

Welcome, Sister! :) Hi, and welcome...It's so wonderful to see you here! :hijabi: I hope you will feel free to ask questions and just experience what this site--and Islam altogether--has to offer. I am a convert/revert as of about two weeks ago, and I can definitley understand where you're...

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings in the name of Allah, most Merciful! I wish to let you know that, finally, after a long struggle, I have accepted Islam and took the Shahada early this morning! (If any of your are familiar with Sheik Yusuf Estes, he and others witnessed my shahada in...

Hi Sisters, I was curious to know if there are any Muslim sisters in the upstate NY area. In my exploration of Islam, I realised that I don't actually know any Muslims.. especially in my area! So if anyone is out there and willing to take a sister under her wing, I'd be so very appreciative...

Well, I've purchased a Hhimar/Niqab set (3 pieces) to "try out" my theory. Should be an interesting science experiment!!! :blackhijab:

I'm still confused about the prayer thing, due to the conflicting advise I'm getting... but, nonetheless, I've purchased a 3 piece Khimar/Niqab set to wear around the house to get the feel for everything. I know it seems sort of odd to wear it in the privacy of my own home with no one around...

And I've always heard, "Practice makes permanent." ;-)
