Assalemu alaikom, I must say I agree totally with sister Aapa when she says that we often have already made up our minds about how to act and simply ask for advice to support our decisions! It's easy to take the advice that suits us, that justifies our actions, or relieves us of feelings of...

Assalemu alaikom, When children are abused or exposed to family conflicts they so often think that they are the reason, the one who is to blame for all the upheavals in their lives. This, along with the psychological damage done by family members, either deliberately or inadvertently, can...

Salem, We all think we have problems, and forget what luxury we are living in! The very fact that we are here on this forum, using a computer and the Internet to communicate is proof of this life of luxury. It's good to consider those less well off than ourselves to remember just how blessed we...

Dear brothers and sisters, assalemu alaikom wa rahmatallah. I just came across this E-book about fasting in Ramadan by Hassan Al-Banna and translated into English. Free download at : http://www.iidr.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Fasting-Ramadan_-The-Essentials.pdf I wish you all...

Salem, OK, no problem. I don't wish to mislead anyone. I just thought it was a nice idea to show the prayer in an animated form. Jezek Allah khayr and alhamdoulillah.

Assalemu alaykom, Here is a link to the above named website which offers guidance for beginners on how to perform Islamic prayer. See what you think of it. http://www.howdoipray.com/howdoipray/Home/ Wa salem.

Here is one alternative. It translates what you write in "Arabic" phonetically using Latin script, into Arabic script. See what you think. I find it very useful as I speak and understand Arabic, but don't write it very well. http://www.yamli.com/arabic-keyboard/

Salem, Unfortunately, deception happens everywhere, not just on the Internet.....at least the people we encounter on the WWW are strangers, but it is so much worse when it happens with people you "know" and trust!!!! I'm getting to the stage where I have no trust in anyone around me....I ask...

Salem sister, I'm sorry to hear about your sister's illness. I know it's been a few days since your post, but may Allah grant her a speedy recovery... Allah yishfeeha!! It's so terrible for parents and siblings to see one of the family ill and suffering, but all we can do is trust in Allah and...

Salem everyone, I have a query about a husband's duty to spend on his wife and children. If the husband allows his wife to work outside the home, does he have the right to expect her to spend on the family, and he spends more or less nothing? The husband has some debts so he wants to save up...

@Aapa, Salem sister, "Maybe they need to read thier history." Read!!!! What does that mean????, I'm sure these thugs don't even know how to read more than the words "pub", and "football"!!!!! My heart goes out to the sister who was attacked, and I suggest that we Muslim women should be...

Salem, La hawla wala quwat ila billah!!!!! I know how annoying this picture is for all Muslims, but I think the finger is being pointed at the customs officers in the UK who the artist sees as being inefficient in detecting possible threats. I'm not justifying this portayal of Muslims as...

Salem, I think here you mean "funny" as in strange, not "funny" as in "ha ha". I agree that we seem to get our priorities mixed up. Why is every day life so time-consuming? Thanks for the post - it makes one think about priorities!!

Salem, It looks interesting. Any openings for sisters? Thanks.

Salem sister, I have no personal experience of autism, but I have seen plenty on TV about this syndrome. I wish your son all the best and may Allah give you the strength to give him the support he needs. I've posted the link for world autism awareness day on Facebook. It may generate some...

Salem, Try quranexplorer, you might find it there. Wa salem

Salem khangul, OK, I'm a native speaker of English and I understand exactly what you say, so there's can't be that much of a problem with your English!!! Try not to be so sensitive my dear......nobody replies to me either!!!! But I still benefit from the forum and discussions. I think it's up...

Salem, Yes, where are you brother Mabsoot? You have given me such good advice in the past and now I'm concerned about your absence. Please let us know that you're OK. May Allah protect you, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. Your "aunt"

Salem, At least the British did something! Israel should understand that they will be held to account for their actions. But they'll probably find some way of getting out of it, like when Livni was charged with war crimes; they got around it by changing the law! Let's see if anything happens!
