    Swiss ban mosque minarets

    As salam 'alaikum, I have not heard this before. Insha Allah, could you post for me the source of this (that we are not to live in countries of kufr)? Myself I would absolutely love to live in a country surrounded by Muslims. I have often thought about life in cities such as Jeddah or...

    Swiss ban mosque minarets

    As salam 'alaikum sister, I agree with you that we need to work hard to better ourselves and strengthen our Ummah. It is because of the divisions within our own Ummah that we are weak (as a community). As Muslims we have a duty to study our Deen and learn as much as we can from it. Before we...

    Swiss ban mosque minarets

    As salam 'alaikum, Sadly, I can't say I'm at all surprised. What's even sadder still is the fact that Islamophobes have absolutely no clue about how great life would be for non-Muslims in a properly run, Islamic nation. They don't realize that Christians and Jews would actually be protected...

    Why Islam: My completed story

    Thank you everyone, jazakum Allah khair. Insha Allah my story has only begun, and signing up with this site has certainly helped me to keep fighting to be a better Muslim; a better slave of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. I love you too for the sake of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala, and I ask Him to...

    Video The Life of Cat Stevens and How he Became Muslim.

    As salam 'alaikum, I have for a long time considered brother Yusuf's story to be very inspiring and warming. I often feel a connection to him in terms of his search that went on for years as mine did. Alhamdulillah we both found al Islam and learned a way to connect to Allah Subhanahu wa...

    Why Islam: My completed story

    A few months after my Shahadah, I decided to take a Muslim name. After doing a bit of research and coming up with a few names, I came to the realization that I may be selecting a name for the wrong reasons (that is, I may, on some level, select a name because of the praise or attention I would...

    Why Islam: My completed story

    As salam 'alaikum wa rahmat Allahi wa barakatuh. Earlier today I said I would create a new thread for the continuation of the story I gave in the thread "Why Islam?" which was begun by sister KSA Lover. So insha Allah, I will first copy what I began there for anyone who wants to read it...

    Why Islam ?

    Insha Allah I will soon post a new thread completing my story of how I came to accept Islam when I have enough time to write it out. I will say however that I have learned that a person does not accept Islam once and then continue with their life. As Islam is an active and complete way of...

    Why Islam ?

    Salam 'alaikum, Although we are all born Muslims, I was raised Catholic, and later I formally converted to Buddhism before Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala in His Infinate Mercy and Love offered the Truth to me. As a child I went to Catholic School, and by the time I was a teenager I had found...

    Anyone have a non-muslim family?

    As salam 'alaikum, Not only am I the only Muslim in my family and in my house, but also in my town. The closest Masjid to me is a half-hour drive and although I have a lincense, I have not been able to drive recently due to deteriorating eyesight and absolutely no one is willing to drive me...

    She says I'm "too strict" a Muslim...

    As salam 'alaikum, I was once told by a dear brother that I should seek a wife who is more religious than I, and it was what he did. I'm happy to say that he is now very happy in his marriage (he has given me permission to say this) and says his wife constantly inspires him to improve himself...

    How many languages do you speak ?

    I was born and raised in Canada so I'm fluent in English, but I began learning Spanish at 16 and am now pretty proficient there as well (pero lo necesito hablar mas. Donde vivo nadie lo habla). I have been learning Japanese for some time now. I know enough to survive if I were alone in Japan but...

    If Prophet Muhammad (saw) Visited you…what would you do?

    To be honest it doesn't matter to me if the poem was originally written for Christians or Muslims. Aside from a few changes to make the poem accurate for Islam, it is a good poem, even the Christian version of it. For that matter, it may be good for us to ask ourselves what WOULD we do if...

    SOLVED Jazakum Allah khair to whomever it was to add the "edit post" button to my controls. Perhaps it's a matter of posting enough to earn the privaledge to edit, or it is a decision made by a moderator. Either way, thank you. Jazakum Allah khair. :)

    Do not talk to oposite gender on tti-all Must read-

    I think the thing is, firstly, that because this is a forum dedicated to the study and the learning of Islam, no one should be looking for potential wives or husbands here, and because there are plenty of brothers to help the men, and plenty of sisters to help the women, there is really no...
