SubhanAllah this comes at a perfect time JazakAllah Khair

Assalamu alaikum, Why is it that we *have* to say prayers in arabic? If you can post from the Quran, that would make me feel more secure in the answer. Thanks :) :hijabi:

That's right, Aapa. We must be proactive.

I tend to agree with GraceB here. I think the preoccupation with it is a form of bringing it into power, and *that* is the trick of satan. We can acknowledge without obsessing over it. Subhan'Allah

Assalumu alaikum Thank you so much for the welcomes and tips... I'm learning the 5 prayers in arabic starting with Al-Fatiha now. This is off topic, but sort of, I felt a little preoccupied earlier today because I was thinking about my very religious Christian relatives. They are pentecostal...

I don't think it's a good idea to pass this law. Seems it's encouraging very young feeble minds to carry weapons. College students are still very immature, and I'm afraid that it'll be touted like the way a 15 year old gets his permit to drive. Scary times we live in. I don't think it's a good...

good morning ((Thank you)) to the both of you! :hijabi:

Hi! Welcome! :)

I found this: Halal Status of vinegar: There is a different of opinion among Hanafi and Shafi fiqa (schools of thought) regarding vinegar. There is also different of opinion among Islamic Scholars regarding wine vinegar. Most Vinegars are Halal, however except those that are made from...

Beautiful! Surah 42:22 "...Those who believe and do good works (that improve the society), will be in flowering meadows of the Gardens. For them is whatever they wish from their Lord. This, this indeed is the magnificent Bounty." "...Those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in...

Thank you ilyas_eh, Aapa, Noor Aldeen, BrotherinIslam7, Tariq353, World Peace, and Fourteen! I feel like I want to learn everything all at once, but I am setting goals and educating myself with so many available resources. I'm strengthening my relationship with Allah, learning prayers right...

Walaikum Assalam Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh. Thank you so much but I don't see the attachment! Where is it? :)

Hi! i'm wondering, do any of you know of a downloadable and printable document with the prayers that you would pl direct me to? i've watched some incredibly helpful flash or otherwise youtube vids which have demonstrations of prayers. however I need something tangible that i can have next to...

You've been given lots of good answers so far. *EDITED*

thank you for the welcome and information Hi, I'm going through all of the information you both have posted. Thanks!

Thanks so very much Aroosak, Jenn77, and Alf2, for your support!

Thank you!! I have read through the prayers, did the beginner version of prayers in English (there's a link somewhere on this site to steps to learning the prayers). I would like to continue absorbing into worship of God that way (in English) to get the right discipline in my spirit and...

When my friend gave me a "Happy Holidays" card, I never thought she was encouraging a belief that was different than hers. These are intricate discernments that are difficult to write in words. I knew that she was not encouraging me. We both knew. This is the same friend who introduced me to Islam.

Thank you for your replies. You make good points. I know that the right path will be made clear and easy for me. I realized that I haven't even been with them anyway on Christmas in YEARS. ...Perhaps why I could turn to Islam despite them. Hmmm. Thanks for giving me much to think over.

Hi Everyone, I want to tell you all this news...I said the shahada last night. I do believe with all of my heart and mind. Navigating through various aspects of Islam will surely be a journey. I haven't told anyone except you all! However, I did email the Islamic Association in my...
