I was just doing some general research on Muhammad himself but I kept on reading conflicting reports on who his favorite wife was. It really isn’t the most important question in the world, just one I was curious about.

I know it really isn’t the most important issue here but I’m a little bit confused but interested. Who was Muhammad’s favorite wife, Khadijah or Aisha? I’ve heard conflicting responses.

Is the phrase “Derka, Derka, Jihad” offensive? And what does it mean? I hear people say this just goofing around but I know they don’t know what Jihad really means. They just think it’s a funny word. The reason why I ask is because I know Jihad means “holy war”…but I’ve never heard of Derka.

I have a question, which may have been asked here already, I don’t know. What’s the beginning of Islam? Does is start with Muhammad or does it start when Abraham kicked Hagar and Ishmael out of their tribe (Geneses 21 in Christian bible)? The book that I read by Huston Smith said that it started...
