Asalamualaikum Wa Rahmah Tullahi Wabarakatuhu, All praise is due to Allah (SWT), our Creator and Sustainer. I hope all my brothers and sisters are doing well. If I could trouble you for just a minute of your time, a masjid in New Jersey (USA), Al-Tawheed Islamic Center, was recently destroyed...

Asalamu alaikum warahmahtullahi wa barakatuhu :-) I hope that everyone is doing well, Insha'Allah. I was sort of thrust into the position of khatheeb at my school's Jummah next week and am a little scared. I've never given a sermon before and have no idea where to start. I have some ideas for a...

:salam2: I hope everyone is doing well and in a good state of Iman. My Question: Is it necessary to be in a state of Wudu when reciting the Quran by mouth? For example, if I'm walking down the street or in some other random scenario and I just want to start reciting out of the blue without...

:salam2: Today, the Imam at my local mosque was talking about Salah times during the khutbah. If you don't pray within the prescribed time period, then you've missed the Salah and have to make it up. Then he went on to say that some of us have been missing Salah for 5, 10 or 15 years, haven't...

:salam2: Recently, a Muslim speaker and therapist came to my school to talk about relationships and what kinds of things we look for in marriage partners and about what kind of mistakes we make when dealing with marriage. He emphasized learning more about marriage because our mistakes are...

:salam2: I hope everyone's doing well. As you may have well heard in the news recently, a recent attempted attack on the US Federal Bank was foiled by the FBI and several individuals were apprehended. The FBI has begun cracking down on people they believe may have been cahoots with the...

:salam2: If I walk in on someone who's in the middle of their salah and I don't know if they're doing their Sunnah or their Fardh, what do I do? UPDATE: I'm talking about if you walk in on someone already praying in a masjid, prayer hall, etc. and you want to join them (as in like Jamaat)...

:salam2: What is Ruqyah? I stumbled upon a video that said that anyone who takes Ruqyah as their profession is doing Bi'dah and why it was so, but it didn't really explain what ruqyah was. I still don't really have much of a clue. Can someone please explain what ruqyah is to me...

:salam2: I hope all my dear brothers/sisters are doing well. This is to warn you about something you will likely be receiving in the mail if you live in the NYC area (and possibly elsewhere). Muslims are receiving a book entitled "10 Amazing Muslims Touched by God" by Faisal Malick in the...

:salam2: What can a Muslim woman do when she gets pregnant from a rape? This question came to my mind when I read that in Afghanistan, raped women were the ones that get punished and their rapists essentially go scott-free. I read about this one woman who was actually imprisoned because she...

:salam2: Here is an article by Peter Beinhart from Newsweek. I wish there were more people like him in America. Open the attachment and take a read, please. :)

:salam2: First, I'd like to say that this happened a while ago, before when I didn't know as much about shirk. I recently learned this, which is why its been bugging me so much. I was invited to join a respected engineering honor society and at the initiation, they made all of us swear to...

Can someone give me a brief overview of who they are? Are they considered Muslim? Will they go to Hell? Is Allah (SWT) angry with them? Why are they different? Why are they wrong (or right, if that is your opinion)? I wanted to ask my mom about this when I was little, but she told me not to...

:salam2: One of the biggest criticisms from people who are against Islam is our collective silence when it comes issues such as terrorism, murders and other serious socio-political issues. My question is why? Why don't we speak out and repudiate the actions of those that march with their...

:salam2: I honestly want to know, is classical music haram, too?

:salam2: Please make dua for me, my dear Brothers and Sisters. I'm facing a particularly difficult financial situation at the moment that threatens to jeopardize my college attendance. I'm really scared for what might happen, but I will put my trust in Allah (SWT) and insha'Allah, it will all...

I just read this and it made me sick to my stomach. How can people do things like this: http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/08/world/asia/afghanistan-public-execution/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 How can such people claim to be Muslim when they so nonchalantly kill a woman. Even if the woman was at fault...
