Salaam Everyone, I have noticed something about our fellow muslim brothers and sisters in my day to day life and also here on TTI. Some are so quick to call this person and that person a "kaffir." I find this very offensive. The meaning of kaffir is "one who doesn't believe in God" and it...

Salaam Everyone. I'm going to do my best not to make this sound like a rant, but these are things I feel very strongly about and often times here on TTI... I feel I'm a lone ranger. This place is awesome for discussion and sharing knowledge and ideas. But over time, I have decreased my...

Salaam, Does anyone know of any good documentaries on Islamic Art? Thanks! Wasalaam.

So being an artist... I struggle with the "image maker" issue. Luckily, I am a ceramic artist/potter... so most of my work is functional and uses lines and pattern styles... But I can't help but think about this a lot, as I do look at a lot of art for inspiration. Anyways... my question...

Salaam, So, of course we know there are people who memorize the Qur'an in Arabic... but do people practice to memorize it in English? Or whatever their native language is? Just wondering... I'm thinking I would like to strive to do this.

Salaam Alaikum, I woke up not feeling so well today. I'm visiting my family in my tiny home town of no muslims. I am visiting for the first time since I started wearing hijab, so things have felt alittle awkward here and there. I was visiting a friend last night and they asked me something...

Salaam Alaikum, I was reading a bit about the crescent moon and star as a symbol of Islam on Islam.about.com and it sounded like to me that this symbol is more historic than it is a religious representation. And I always thought it was kind of weird to see that as a symbol of Islam with all...

Salaam Alaikum, Why is it okay to eat lamb? Isn't this inhumane? Wasalaam.

Salaam Alaikum, One of my favorite books animated. It is narrated by the author, Shel Silverstein. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. So simple, but so much meaning. =) The Giving Tree Wasalaam.

Salaam Alaikum, I have talked about this with a few people before... but I'm still struggling with it. Since I am a convert, I have transitioned from a life of dating to specifically finding a marriage partner. Although I'm not currently looking for someone to marry, I still have anxiety...

Salaam Alaikum, I am a ceramic artist that would like to learn more about Islamic art. Any suggestions? Documentaries or books/articles? Thanks!

Salaam Alaikum, I'm not trying to exclude anyone, but I'm really only interested in responses from converts because I really just need to hear advice from people who know about this from experience. This is a topic that is extremely ssensitive to me and I just need to know how converts have...

Salaam, This is the trailer of the documentary Flow. We all know how important it is to conserve water in Islam... and I hope you all will do your best to see this documentary. I've learned that one of the biggest things we can all do is NOT drink bottled water. There are so many reasons...
