I feel your friend's and your mom's reactions are quite expected. They are basically trying to dissuade you from learning more about Islam. I think *they feel* that they are doing good by discouraging you and calling you names. they are hoping you would stop learning about Islam when you are...

Assalamu alaykum, Was reading about a crater in this place called DARVAZA in Turkmenistan today. Not quite sure how many of you know about this. Here is a brief intro from wiki The "Gates of Hell" Darvaza underground is naturally rich in natural gas. In 1971, during a drilling...

Assalamu alaykum... to be honest If I hadnt read your first post that said you were not a muslim, I would have assumed you are already a muslim. I must say for someone who isnt a muslim, you sure know how and where to use islamic terms!!! mashaAllah I guess being a mormon, it might be a...

Well if you google, you can learn more about Salahuddin ayyubi. I guess even the christian historians admire him. He infact sent his personal doctors to the enemy emperor (german king I believe). When he conquered Jerusalem, he not only pardoned the people of jerusalem, BUT also paid his own...

Assalamu alaykum, Can someone point me quickly to some really good videos on how to do wudu and salat? I have a friend that would like to have a look at them. JAK!

Assalamu alaykum, Well I know quite a few people who are active in tableeghi jamaat. But personally I dont believe (or rather not convinced) with their beliefs. They ALWAYS use Fadhail-e-Amal as their source. That book has quite a lot of really weird (and I mean REALLY WEIRD) stories. One...

Wa alaykum assalam wr wb I am curious to know if you could back up the statement that Shafii's do only 8 rakats for taraweeh. I follow shafi'i madhab and I do 20 rakats because thats what I have learned. I go to a majid that is predominantly hanafi. During this ramadhan, we did 20 rakats and...

Actually Asma means beautiful i think. It also happens to be the name of the daughter of Abu Bakr (ra).

I guess we would never know the real circumstances and reasons why this saudi lady wanted divorce. Allahu alam, but still if this was the real reason, this would be as ridiculous as it could possibly get! This story reminded me of a story that was sent to me once a while back. Apparently we...

Wa alaykum assalam. First of all, I am glad you are a muslim alhamdulillah. Secondly I am sorry for what you have gone through. But trust me, its not only new muslims who go through such a phase. Any muslim who is new to a place tends to go through a similar phase. I remember back in those...

just copy the file somewhere else and try to open it again either on your machine or somewhere else. either the file is locked or your software expired. Also you could try sending it by mail to gmail. I believe gmail lets you download word docs as html

Assalamu alaykum... Well to be honest, I only read a few of sis Shannon's messages in this thread. As I understood, She had a bad night and things got clear the next morning. alhamdulillah to hear that.. We all go through that phase... I strongly suggest that you try to meet some muslims...

Assalamu alaykum, Can you help me understand if you are supporting local sighting or universal/scientific sighting? I am kinda confused!

Peace Rachel! I am sure you can find answers from scholars for your above questions, but I thought I would share my opinion as well. 1. Pig is considered to be unclean. All you need to do is to leave a pig on a dirty road and see what it does/eats. Besides it has too much fat as well...

Glad to know your interest in Islam. I don't know where exactly you are in Texas. Islamicfinder.org is a pretty good site for starters. Also one of the most popular masjid in Texas is in Dallas - http://irvingmasjid.org/ You can contact them and ask about any masjids around your area as...

Wa alaykum assalam. Well yes I have heard about this too. I think its quite common in Africa and Oman. They are called IBADIS and they, I believe, pray with their hands down while the imam is reciting the fatiha and the subsequent surah. I dont know if this is from the sunnah. I heard it...
