Assalamu Aleykum and welcome to the TTI family Brother Salem9022 and Sister Yavie. This is a wonderful place to learn about Islam. It has been a great source of information for me in my journey to Islam. I was not blessed to be raised in Islam, but my brothers and sisters here have welcomed me...

Okay this brings a question about a co-worker. I know of one man who is Muslim and clearly has a lot of body hair. I know he shaves extensively. I am not sure if this is for the purpose of comfort (being too hot) or if it is to improve his appearance. According to what has been posted here, is...

This makes sense to me and what you said in the last paragraph is interestingt. As I mentioned I had read the english translation of Qu'ran online, but I did not receive my actual copy of Qu'ran until after I took shahada. Allah does know best, and this must truly be of His will as he made...

I am curious about this too. I was not Muslim when I first started reading Qu'ran. I wonder if it has something to do with idle intentions. In other words, these non-muslim people coming in to "appreciate" (or worship) this building and the things in it, may not be considered to have the purest...

Masha'allah!! Thank you so much. I never thought of it. I have been trying to figure out how I can cover my hair with something other than hijab in my work place. They will not allow me to wear hijab because of machinery I work with. It may be pulled into the machines causing injury to me or...

Masha'allah! What a lovely woman. She looks wonderful and she is a wonderful inspiration. May each sister and brother have the opportunity to reach such an age and have such experiences as making the pilgramage to Mecca several times. Wow!

I had wondered about this, as well. I know here in my area of Ohio, there are a couple of different chapters of home schooling groups. I'm sure that if you do a search online that you will likely find a similar group in your area as home schooling has definately gained popularity over the past...

Jazak Allah Khair, Mohsin, everything is coming into place for me to take shahada, Inshallah. I have some concerns in doing this, but I want first and foremost to serve Allah and be pleasing to Him. I know that this is not always easy to do, but well worth it in the end. However, I do ask that...

I have a question about a different type of body modification. I had weight loss surgery about three years ago. This would be a major modification to the natural body. I felt it necessary though. I was unable to get my weight down below 240. This was even with riding a bicycle nearly 30 miles...

Jazak Allah Khair, I appreciate the advice you have given. Being new in the study of Islam I know you are absolutely correct about needing to surround yourself with those who are well learned in Islam and also about the need to try to memorize the Qu'ran. I have already been questioned on Muslim...

Now, see I get another meaning with this. It says to me that we should not choose disbelievers OVER believers as friends. To me, this means that a person, such as myself, may have gay friends (or any non believer as a friend) so long as these are not my sole lot of friends. A person who chooses...

Assalamu Alaykum Brother, I am like those you mention who come to Islam by way of searching. I am still searching, but feel myself drawing closer to Islam each day that I read Qu'ran and books, etc. It's wonderful to have you here and I hope that you will be one to contribute much from...

Masha'Allah. This was posted in another place on the forum and I am so thankful for it. I am still just at the beginning of my learning about Islam and Qu'ran and didn't really know what to look for, or even where to look for the appropriate Qu'ran w/english translation. I would still like...

Recently there was a televised opening of a tomb that was and generally is believed to be the "Lost Tomb of Jesus." There were ten ossuaries one of which was inscribed with the name Isa, son of Joseph. There were also an ossuary with the name Mary, but the experts there came to the conclusion...

I know this thread was started by Storm, but it has affected me in a way that seems very strange to me. The reason it's strange is that with my first reply I stated that I imagined that giving up listening to music would be the hardest thing for me, but suddenly upon reading these last few...

I believe music is one thing that I will have a harder time giving up then other things. I believe this is likely more because my entire family always had music around them or played musical instruments. So, it is a matter of habit and, as the one sister said, the memories that are associated...

Welcome to TTI!! If you want answers to questions this is a great place to find them. I am not swayed by the negative stories we see on the television or stories we read in papers and magazines which would have us believe the worst of Islam. What I have found here on TTI is a world full of...

This is a term I've seen several times here, but I am not sure what a nasheed is. When I sing, I sing to Allah about what I am thankful for, or what I am feeling deepest in my heart. I feel it is a personal time between Allah and me. I can live with or without the music of the rest of the world...

I have to tell you, I too am like Sister Sweet Insanity. I have always loved music. I do not love it more than Allah though. I do realize that music pulls on the human emotions. It can cause a person to feel one way or another, or deepen feelings that are already happening. (i.e. a person who is...

May I ask how far it is for you to the nearest town or city where there may be a mosque? I used to live in southern Indiana, near Jeffersonville. I would think that anyplace that size in Indiana would have at least a small Muslim population. You may be able to find a small mosque there, where a...
