I got to share an interesting article with you from www.missionislam.com: The Star and Crescent - Is the Symbol of Islam Shirk? By Rafael Narbaez Jr. The city of Byzantium (Constantinople, modern Istanbul) was dedicated to Diana, goddess of the hunt, and the crescent was the symbol of Diana...

Good thread. I do not have time to go over every single reply, but here is my hypothesis: there is no problem with Islam, but there is a problem with many Muslims and their leadership. Islam is really summed up in the Qur'an. When one reads the Noble Qur'an and makes an effort to understand it...

Wow! You would do all that?! But the couple never came to you for an opinion about their marriage. They just want the cake. So, why do you care about what they do with each other or how they live? Their lifestyle is not going to make you gay or your loved ones.

See, Himmler engaged in the murder of thousands of Jews. Death. Himmler was Death! Thousands, millions times worse than gay love union! Also, how is a child marriage comparable to two adult gay people? I think child marriage would be way worse!

Brother Abdullah, you say that the Bible is acceptable for some of Islamic teachings. But in truth, super conservative Muslims have been using Biblical teachings for MANY Islamic teachings, not just some. In my previous post I gave an example of punishment for adultery that is of biblical rather...

Abdullah, thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions and my apologies for taking so long to reply to you as well. If Hadiths are the extension of the Noble Qur'an, they why do we have so many different hadiths per sect (e.g. Shia Muslims have their own hadith books)? And, why are...

Hi everyone! In the age of the rising religious right and fanaticism, I have a question for all of you: if you were in the business of making cakes, and a gay couple comes by and want to buy a wedding cake from you, would you gladly serve these two customers? Why or why not? Believe it or not...

I grew up in a country where Hannafi madhab was followed. We were taught that we are Sunni Muslims. We also recognize Shia as Muslims and our imams don't spend too much time discussing the great Muslim split between Sunni and Shia Muslims besides teaching how terrible and unfortunate it was. Not...

I come from a culture where coffee is drank to socialize, relax, etc. They say my homeland Bosnia is 10th in the world for coffee drinking. So, yes, I drink coffee Found my new home, USA, is lover for coffee too, so I fit right in!

Perhaps that is so, but still goes against Islamic beliefs since nothing is to be used to represent God or as a way to reach Him. God in Islam demands understanding that He is not like anything He created and when praying one must pray directly to Him even when unable to see or hear Him, it is a...

Wishing all my brothers and sisters in Islam happiness, peace, health and safety. May Allah Almighty SWT bless you and grant you all the best of this and next world. Ameen.

Hi again! I don't think it is the question of loving someone. God in the Qur'an is not saying that if one falls in love with a person that it is a sin. Rather, it is a sin to marry. Why? Because time and again we have seen people abandon faith and religious requirements when they marry out of...

I think it is local customs because Qur'an does not demand eating certain food just forbids pork, blood, animals sacrificed to other than God, animals sacrificed on stone altars and road kill, or animals killed by other animals. There is relief that if one is starving that he can eat the...

Thanks. You too.

Hi! He must have feelings for you otherwise it would be very sinful for him to lead you on for nothing. Qur'an is clear that a man must be honest and respectful of woman, regardless what religion she is, especially in matters of relationship. Having said this, you two are facing some trouble...

As salaam alaikum all brothers and sisters! I am a little late, but wanted to wish you a blessed, peaceful and joyful Ramadan.

The disappearance of Muslims is in the Qur'an. It talks about a breeze which will cause all Muslims to die just before the Last Day. Logically, Qur'an is alluding to a biological agent and not a wind. The reason why it will be a biological weapon is that it is going to be selective: only Muslims...

And the Bible may be not valid, but hardcore conservatives still use it through Hadiths. Allah SWT would not declare something questionable in His Word and then "reveal" separately that suddenly it is OK to refer to. I am talking about Hadiths that are in line with the Bible NOT Qur'an. Such...

Abdullah, brother, can you show me the verse where a new interpretation of Qur'an is promised? I find that the more you very reflect and study the Book, the more you understand it's teaching. Sometimes, new things are revealed as in a light bulb moment. And this is how I see it. When Almighty...
