Dear HB,
I respect your point of view. I was mere stating what i knew personally. The world we live is full of fake propaganda, and stories/news that are not true and so its important to highlight what is.
Miracles to me is anything that is out of the ordinary. This case in particular is inspiring ...

Dear Human Being,
AoA,
I know the family personally and this is a true story. The mother of the girl is my wife's childhood friend. What happened is nothing short of miracle, given that every doctor in the hospital except one had refused to take the case given there absolutely no hope.

the lesson ...

AoA,
I thought that it was very clear that we can only pray 3 times during the times of war, travelling and rain. On travelling too, my understanding is that it is not compulsary that you should/must pray only 3 times. If it is true hardship and inconvenience then you combine. If you are in a hotel ...

AoA Bro,
Perhaps being a muslim country is not a big deal for you but to many and myself it is. I live in Singapore and perhaps it is one of the most tolerant country in the world still doesnt compare to being a muslim country. I guess it depends upon what is most important to you. I know ...

AoA,
I am a pakistani and i will try to respond to your questions.
Pakistan has a lot to be proud of in all aspects of life
It is a muslim country
Only muslim nuclear nation
Pakistan has a unique topography comprising on snow covered mountains, major rivers flowing through the centre, deserts ...

AoA and thank you bro anajmi for your comments,
You are right cent percent%, it was not beneficial as it did not add anything, and i usually dont comment. Only and unless i feel necessary to voice something.
best wishes

AoA Anajmi,
I am reading for the first time that humans believe that the way Allah(swt) addresses himself may have caused male oppresion. I am trying to grasp how that came about.
We can discuss about Allah(swt) all we want, his attributes, his orders, his laws, his wisdom, but i dont understand ...

AoA,
I couldnt help but make a comment here. I sincerely apologize if my comments offend anyone. I am nowhere compared to any of you as far as religious knowledge is concerned but after reading all the posts the following dua kept coming into my head.

"O ALLAH! I seek refuge in You from knowledge ...

AoA,
while we have heard one side of the story, can bro rehab elaborate on what are your parents thought? of course i am sure you and they realized that once you convert you will probably never celebrate eid on the same day. if you goto Haj together you will be completing arkans before they will ...

AoA,

Pardon my lack of religious knowledge but i have read from differnet sources that Prophet (saw) prayed 3 times only in times of travel and during war. Therefore praying 3 times apart from these instances is not justified not allowed.

Bro GM,

Thank you and JZK

The beauty of the peom is in its simplicity, that highlights the essence of religion and not the outer covering.

Agreed completely.

At this time and age where we are bombarded with many issues, and mostly that we are responsible for ourselves we can do a lot together rather than always arguing about it. I have mentioned a couple of times, if things are so wrong why not take actions, why alwyas debate and ...

Do not mean to barge in your conversation, but like bro Jamal said .. i find it really hard to believe that the Dai really has no idea what goes on ... he can apparently converse with the Imam after each prayer but he is totally unaware of the what goes on in the community ...

if he really is only ...

Brother,

The youtube video is very difficult to read because of the combo of text and background but whatever i was abel to read i was not able to understand the point .. the connection between what has been mention in the zoras text and the actual event so i apologies for that.

On Quran, Sunnah ...

The guide left behind are the Quran and life of RasulAllah (Saw). Can there be a bigger guide than this ???? Brother im really trying to understand why do i need anything else if i have these two. Also if these guides were not enough than why read the quran at all .. you said that ahl al bayt are ...

say''you are but a warner and to every people there is a guide?"

can also be interpreted that there is a warner for every nation and to every nation there is a guide (this guide refering to RasulAllah (saw)) and not anyone else.

my point is simple, if we had to follow the immate then why are we ...

Dear Bro Al Uqal,

Maybe i hve failed to understnad the underlying meaning but who guides us to the right path?

Is it Allah(swt) or Prophet(saw) or hazrat Ali (ra)?. I thought it is only and only Allah (Swt) who guides people. He sent his prophet (saw) to only show us the right path through ...

Bro FB and Porus,

I have thoroughly enjoyed the discussion at hand and learned a fair bit about the current system in place. There is a fair bit that i also could not understand and hoping to work more on it to comprehend.

Based on whats written by Elleb Brown, the question i have is if these ...

Dear Brothers,

thank you very much for your thoughts and sharing your knowledge on the topic.

My next question, based on your discussion is that in todays climate how can we work in a system that provides the necessary means to keep the economy rolling at the same time provides for human needs ...

AoA,

I was reading a book on prohibitions and i came across Riba.

The book says:

One may easily discern the extent of devastation, at the individual and the international level, caused by dealing with riba - such as bankruptcy, recession, economic stagnation, inability to repay loans, high ...

i felt a rage that had no boundries when i started reading the list.. it then changed to amusement and by the end i was rolling on the floor with laughter.

this must be translated and shared with everyone .. no matter how brain washed people are .. this will atleast give them one second to pause ...

Agree completely with Smart.

I also think even if so called Imam, Messiah appears out of somewhere, who is going to confirm that he is the real Imam/Messiah. The community leaders can conspires to present anyone as the Imam. Does that really make him the true Imam?. I wonder that Do if the Imam ...

AoA,

Based on the last comment, i just wanted to add that i was having a similar debate with my father. He was telling me a few cases he has faced himself and witnessed where the amils/janabs harassed poeple to no extent and talk down upon people.

My frustration which i told him as well was that ...

Dear Hamsafar,

Islam helps us achieve max potential through its teachings. It not only teaches us the best way to live and truly explains what it means to be God's representative in this world. It also shows the easiest and best path that we can follow to attain nearness towards Allah (Swt). Islam ...

The purpose of religion in my opinion is to help mankind stay on the true path. Every person is born with an innate good nature but the ornaments of the world corrupts that. That is where religion guides us, teaches us principles and provides reason that we can use to stay on the one true path and ...

Bro Muslim,

Thank you for sharing.

The more you read the more you love him.

JazakAllah.

AoA,

yes it is true. I read in a couple of papers (online) about this. He was a minister who converted to Islam 2-3 years back kept it secret but only now accepted it openly after the whole minaret issue became huge. He has resigned from his position if i remember correctly.

Allah Hafiz

AoA,

The fact of the matter is that both print and electornic media is under the commond of the Jews and therefore they can say watever they want and get away with it. We muslims do not have the courage to counter argue and print and release a response to this. You have presented excellent details ...

I could not help but say a few things based on the previous comments.

I mentioned this before in a few other discussions as well.

I agree with anajmi on reformism. One is a reformist not by faith but by action. It is a different thing having a difference of opinion. I also agree completely with ...

I agree with omabharti,

The bohras iddat is very different from a normal iddat. islam has not said that the window cannot even look at a non mehram and cannot even hear their voices. So if on teh last day of the iddat for whatever reasons a window sees a non mehram she has to do the whoel thing ...
