niqabisinparis-deactivated20130 asked: I am a high school junior who has no idea what she wants to study. I am from Sudan and I know for sure that none of the things I want to study are taught there because they mainly focus on medicine and engineering. It's going to be near damn impossible to convince my parents to study abroad. I know I will be good because I am not weakened by temptations but my parents aren't even giving...

heartsinsujood asked: Asalam Alaikom wa Rahmat Allahi Wa Barakatu :) I have a question now & I can't seem to get it off my mind, I don't want to be ignorant, I love learning new things about my deen, and I need some answers and I hope you can give me it. I'm a bit confused about the Holy Books. If Allah wanted Islam to be our religion, why did he send down the Torah and the Bible? Aren't all the...

esto-tambien-pasara asked: Salaam :) I'm not yet Muslim (I plan to revert over the next few months inshallah) however this Ramadan I want to fast as I have been making many changes tto make everything easier for when I do revert (cutting out drinking now only eating halal foods being more modest with the way that I dress etc) & fasting during Ramadan is going to be another, so that when I do revert that everything...

sacredtsalagi-deactivated201302 asked: Hi =) Lately I’ve been on a more serious spiritual journey with God and I feel that He is calling me toward Islam. As a Christian, I have a couple of questions: 1) how is the emphasis placed on Muhammad different from how Christians view Jesus? 2) I do praise dancing as a form of worship, but I hear that Islam does not condone dance or music (maybe I’m understanding it wrong). 3) Is...

thalamtnafsee:
for all those Muslimahs bearing the scorching heat this summer in full hijab, I pray that God blesses you immensely and continues to elevate your status in His eyes. And for those Muslimahs who are very close to wearing it this summer, I pray that Allah blesses you immensely and provides you with much wisdom and patience in your endless journey. And for all those Muslimahs who are...
Muslim Women are Empowered and Confident
thalamtnafsee:
Don’t nuns wear headscarves and choose to forgo their sexuality in the name of Christianity? PHOTO: MYRA IQBAL
Do you have to wear a burqa when you are at home?
It was a legitimate question, coming from peers, sometimes professors and occasionally even friends while I was in college in the United States.
It wasn’t the innocence of the question itself, but rather the...
Why The Qur'an?
partytilfajr:
I have been asked, many times, what makes me believe that The Qur’an is actually the word of God. There are many reasons, but two stand out above all else, for me:
First, The Qur’an is the only (yes, only) religious scripture that places men and women on equal ground, in that, The Qur’an requires and expects the utmost from both men and women, and furthermore, The Qur’an is the...
mehreenkasana:
I still remember how my mother quietly cried while she spotted some “cartoons” of the Prophet (PBUH) on the internet. My father had tears too; He looked broken and humiliated. I still remember what he said while comforting mama: “I respect freedom of speech. It’s everyone’s right. But why do they present him in a light that is completely wrong and misunderstood? Why do they derive...

FAO: HARAM POLICE
“Shaytan did not go astray because he lacked knowledge, but rather it was his belief that he was better than Adam.
So we must be very careful before we judge others because the ultimate judge is not you or me—it is Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala.”
Thank you Baba Ali for speaking the simple truth.

When I first started wearing the hijab almost three years ago, this guy who was a close friend of mine started wearing a kufi everywhere to show his support for the women who struggled to cover up. His state of mind was, if women have to struggle and show the world that they are Muslims, so should men.

athoughtfulreminder:
The hearings for our mosque have been going on for three months as construction continued. One month away from finishing, the judge ruled that construction had to be halted and we cannot continue building. After three years and 1.3 million dollars, we are seeing our dreams crumble beneath us. I…
How I came towards Quran
thalamtnafsee:
I was in third grade when I was chosen by the school principal to recite the morning thikr and dua in front of the entire school; I went to a private Islamic school since I was in third grade (and from preschool to second, I was in public school). Before we all were dismissed to head to class, the Deen’s of the school would line us all up — depending on the weather, either outside...

beautifulqalb:
On the day of judgement, everyone will be running screaming “Nafsi, nafsi!” or “Myself, myself!” you will look at your mother, brother, sister, father, daughter, son etc… and not care what happens to them. You will only be worried about yourself and what you did. Even the Prophets will be worried about themselves and they were the best of mankind. Yet, in this life...
pearlsofislam:
I was looking through some landscape and nature photography earlier today and thought to myself, subhanAllah, if this is how breathtakingly beautiful places in this dunya are, then I cannot even begin to fathom what Jannah must be like.
reppinmydeen:
Yesterday I saw a man with a shirt on that said, “Made for Jannah”. When I asked him where he’d gotten that awesome shirt he said he made it himself and makes many more like them. He then went on to tell me that because he is a white man and doesn’t dress in any traditionally Islamic clothing, he can pass as just another dude on the street but he didn’t want to. He wanted everyone...
The Quran speaks to all of us
thalamtnafsee:
I find it ironic when we find ourselves telling a brother or sister in faith that “this ayah was revealed for people like you” when Allah tells us in Quran that this Book was sent to all of mankind; the entire thing, the whole package.
But what is more ironic than this, however, is that the verse(s) being used to express that specific sentiment is either a verse used because of...
