:salam2: My mom gave me this recipe, and a couple of people have asked for this, so I'll post it here. I hope everything in it is acceptable to eat. If it isn't, let me know I'll remove this. My grandma used to make this when I was younger :) Coca Cola Cake 2 cups unsifted flour 2...

:salam2: I hope everyone is doing well. I wanted to say I'm sorry if I've offended anyone here. This isn't anything specific. I just have avoided really visiting because one of my big weaknesses is my temper and I tend to get upset easily for silly reasons. I was thinking about it today and...

:salam2: I don't know if anyone has been to beliefnet, but I went there tonight and took the "belief-o-matic" quiz for fun. Islam was at the top, and the part that amused me was that the religion I was raised with, Seventh-Day Adventist, was at the very bottom of the list (17 percent...

:salam2: I'm not quite sure why I'm writing this but I have to... I just finished with prayer and I feel really happy and have to share it. I try really hard not to focus on anything but the words (after reading this advice on this forum actually). The last few months haven't been good. I've...

:salam2: A friend of mine was given a copy of the Qur'an recently, and it turned out it was a translation by some sect that translated based on their own views (I don't know the details). My mom gave me a gift card for a book store, so I thought it would be nice to get my friend a new copy...

:salam2: I have two (hopefully) quick questions. First, is there a site or a recommended book (in English, I'm still working on Arabic) that has official information from outside the Quran (hadith)? If I just had to deal with the Quran, I'd be okay but when it gets into stuff not in the...

:salam2: I feel completely stupid. I have to say all the Ramadan posts and mandatory numbers and changes from normal prayer days to Ramadan prayers... I'm lost. I might as well stop pretending that I have a clue and ask: Are there any websites with plain, simple (preferably English, or...

:salam2: I have a question for everyone... When you need a boost in your faith, for whatever reason (bad day, people giving you a hard time about your beliefs, etc), what do you do? Have a nice day :)

:salam2: Hope everyone is doing well :) First I'm going to say I'm sorry. I am passionate about things I believe in and that's why I've gotten upset lately. Not because I'm female but because I'm a big fan of justice and fairness. It's not something I want to debate with anyone at this point...

:salam2: I posted this already in the sisters section (Sorry moderators!) but I wasn't sure that it was okay to post here, but here it is... :hijabi: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/13/AR2009111301573.html?sid=ST2009111301581

:salam2: So I noticed that things are a little ... tense here (in a couple of threads)... I've contributed, unfortunately. So I want to make a positive thread. While nothing in the world is always positive, I'd like to make an attempt at a thread here... So, I ask everyone, what is your...

I have some questions if I may... Since I'm still learning (lots more to learn) I really need help on something, regarding fasting. I understand what should not be done from sunrise to sundown, but the details are a bit fuzzy for me. Right now take several medications at different times...

:salam2: I just wanted to say thank you to everyone here, especially those who have helped me learn. I'm going to take a break from here, not sure how long, but I have a lot of things going on and if I don't come back, I just wanted to say thanks and it's been nice getting to know people...

:salam2: I feel silly, but I really do have a question. The times listed on Islamicfinder.org, those are the correct times? I downloaded an app a few weeks ago that gives me the time on my phone (for today and a few days past today). I was going by the program on my computer and I did my...

:salam2: I was going to ask a question, but I did my prayer, joined a Qur'an class (online of course, I know not a single Muslim outside of the internet) and I completely forgot what was so important that I had to ask. I remembered as I was typing this. Has anyone here had a problem...

:salam2: Question... I have been reading through some sites about food restrictions. I understand the pork topic (not a big deal for me, I was raised not eating it). My husband and I eat a lot of chicken though, occasionally some beef. Now, being in the US, I'm guessing this meat isn't up to...

:salam2: I have a question for anyone who might be able to help. My family knows I'm learning about Islam. I've had a few jokes directed at me.. nothing mean-spirited, more along the lines of concerned or cautious.. IE "are you sure you want to leave those books out where anyone can see...

Hello :) I have a question, I don't know if its appropriate, so I wanted to ask first. I ran across a blog where they published an online magazine for Muslim women. Is there a chance I could send the link to a moderator to have it approved to post? If so, which moderator? I thought it was...

I have a (big?) request for anyone that might read this. I'm really conflicted right now, part of me knows that Islam is what I wanted Christianity to be (which I left 11 years ago). The prayer, serving only God, living your life in a good way and helping those less fortunate. What did turn me...

Hello everyone, I know I introduced myself over in the other section, but I'll share a little info again before I ask any questions. I'm not Muslim. I may be headed in that direction, but I don't know for sure yet. I'm here to learn more. I intend no disrespect toward the religion by asking...
