Oh no :( I hate seeing brothers and sisters go through hardships. There's a homeless shelter in Princeton, WV. Their phone number is (304)327-8167 Does Aapa need any clothes? Canned food? Soap?

But the Shia I communicated with deny any god other than Allah. Just as there are Christians who deny the claim that Jesus is anything other than a prophet (example: Jehovah's Witness) I don't think many people here studied world religions in college...thus it explains the limited knowledge...

Isn't it shocking how inflexible we can be to the minorities within our own religion? My father, for instance, has this animosity towards Shia that was formed and molded by the "religious" talk shows on Saudi TV. He has never met a Shia nor has he ever read Shia literature, yet he is very...

I believe that sister Aapa is the only one here who makes sense. Instead of posting misinterpreted/possibly fabricated doctrines to slander a certain group, she is merely asking questions. "Prophet Mohammad was a pedophile" <---remember that? It's all over google. Nonmuslims believe it...

Regarding the 12 imams, it is written in saheeh bukhari that there will be 12 imams from quraish. Why do we abandon that hadeeth?

First of all, I would like to thank all of my brothers and sisters for being polite and serious about this matter. Can we at least agree that all of the anti-Shia slandering we see on YouTube, other forums, etc. are mostly done by racist Wahhabis? Most of it is mainly propaganda. anyone who...

Very good and thoughtful response, sister. I too asked this question. I have never known that Sunnis, Shia, Sufi, etc existed. I've always known us to be plain Muslim. I thought a Muslim is someone who takes shahada and follows the five pillars of Islam. Why should I further add to this...

Asalam alaykom. My male cousin is pursuing marriage with a girl who is Shia. she seems to be a modest hijabi girl who prays and has done hajj before. Is it permissible for him to marry her? please don't allow yourself to post anything hateful. Keep this thread sophisticated and mature. Thank...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this flavor-enhancing company is using fetal cells to study taste receptors and that does not mean they actually mix fetuses in our food and drinks. There's a humongous difference there. At first, I thought they actually grind up babies and make them into soda...

I don't believe that the only passengers that died were Muslim. Unless the seating arrangements were made in a way where Muslims were confined in an area that just happened to be most susceptible to the collision.

In regards to the recent meteorite that landed in Russia, how can that be possible if Quran says that earth is protected from such events by angels?

We must consider that once a woman steps outside her home, whatever that is haram will pounce at her. We women tend to be overly comfident and convince ourselves that nothing could harm us or harm our faith. that's how shaytaan works. He gives is assurance, until slowly but surely we end up...

Thank you, but it still does not answer my question. - - - Updated - - - Thank you, but it still does not answer my question.

Oh my Lord, dear sister! Please do not hesitate to ask me for money. Are the food stamps not enough for you? I am willing to send money your way. All I ask in return is Allah to grant me paradise

I stopped working because I did not appreciate a male worker attempting to sit alone with me in the coffee room whenever I have my lunch break. the west simply allows him to get close to you and you can't fight it. The west expects a Muslim woman to conform to its culture. If decide to keep your...
