I know this one person was so attracted to Islam because she thought there must be soemthing the Muslims have that makes them so dangerous. You know what that is? That is the fact that no matter what, death is...

    Is it cool to beat your wife?

    You also have to look at the context of the revelation, the time period and the state of affairs of women then. Back then, women were looked as property-that was it. THey had no right to vote or to speak up when the husband made decisions. They couldn't work and they were not respected at all...

    Is it cool to beat your wife?

    The rules for the above ayaah in Surah An Nisa are: The husband has to first show his discontent verbally, then by refusing to share the bed, and if she STILL doesn't get it after all that, he can take a piece of light bark (miswaak) that is toothbrush sized (used to clean the teeth actually)...

    How does Bible explain how to preach

    It would help tremendously if someone could quickly reference these verses for me , as I am unfamiliar with the Bible.

    Christians! Do you believe Mohammed's prophethood?

    I am sorry, I didnt intend to start any kind of debate between Islam and Christianity but once someone said something about Islam and compared it to Christianity, well i just could not sit idle could i?:) I was not trying to convert anyone on here, nor tell them what not to believe, I was just...

    Christians! Do you believe Mohammed's prophethood?

    Hi Brian, Could you please elaborate on what you mean by choice of surahs? And can you please, if you can, cite someplace where you read or heard that there was "choice of surahs" in those exact terms. But let me go ahead and tell you what is fact: No one but GOD revealed these words in...

    Christians! Do you believe Mohammed's prophethood?

    I guess this is where I have to end the conversation on my part. Since you brought in the name of Allah, I shall continue with that. I wasn't going to bring in Islam because I didn't want a debate- but anyways: When you say I am limiting God, I think exactly the opposite-that you are. My beliefs...

    Christians! Do you believe Mohammed's prophethood?

    Peace be upon you all! I was wondering how could it NOT be possible for Jesus (AS) to be born without a father? Since God is capable of anything and everything and since He also created Adam (AS) without a father, why does Jesus (AS) have to have a father? As Muslims we believe Jesus to be a...

    SubhanAllah. A beautiful story akhee. May Allah reward you immensely. "And whoever has Taqwaa of Allah, He will make a way out for him (from hardship), and He will provide for Him from places He never imagined." [Soorah At-Talaaq: 2-3] I love that verse. Is this the Al-Azhar Institute in...

    I want to be strong...

    Mason, I would like to add that if you do choose to study and explore Islam on your own that you consider the time period, context, and the reason FOR the ruling which was sent down. Alot of times people misconstrue the reason for a certain ruling based on what they take out of context. For...
