aye, i was thinking about Christmas three days back and the preparations that went with it! very merry! Eid is either this Friday or Saturday and the food preparations are'nt nearly as fun as decorating a tree but i do love the stay-awake-till-the-next-day and the lovely cake and biscuit...

now if enough of mankind can do this ..... we'll see a shift :)

you need to hear someone proficient recite. It's gorgeous on the ear ........ like soft autumny notes of love trippling through the air ....

Path_of_One, my sentiments exactly! well said. And interesting post, wil ... i'll be overanalysing it and get right back here . . . ;)

I am mildly entertained by this discusion, I'm so sorry ... but I can't help myself! Asalaamu 'alaikum all! Abdullah .... peace and blessings. But mostly Light. I see the need for your other thread, Muslimwoman .... a coke and a smile ..... and yes, coke is halaal ... (there was a whole...

The story about the Tower of Babel reminds me of a speech the Imam made at my wedding with my Christian family in the audience. He quoted the verse from the Scripture and explained that it is, in fact, a blessing. It teaches and challenges us to bridge gaps between different schools of thought...

i don't mean to be contentious when i ask: When you say after our body has disintegrated and we are pure spirit, as you mention, what about this state of pure spirit-ness will be perfect that CANNOT be whilst on this material plane? I think we're trying to pin down qualities and tangible things...

i would say that perfection is in the mind of the beholder... to me it is executing something, anything, from a thought to an action, with truth, integrity, transparency, for the love of it, to the best, compassionate & passionate, of your ability. i think i got that across ok. making sense...

wil, you always seem to tie it all together! love your posts! Quite the aries! from your biggest fan --->:p

i do not understand when you say that at certain mosques you're banned from salahing next to your sisters .... no woman should be turned away from a mosque, where do they come on that? Surely there is no Q'uranic justification for this?! At the beaches, the women all stand behind the men. They...

hee hee :D, funny ... My husband makes salah with me instead of going to the mosque (which is right next door!) I don't like praying alone, unless i want to go at my own pace ( which is usually slower!). Is there not a verse in the Holy Q'uran that states the world is your mosque? I'm so...

oh there's a whole lot of [intended] time [on our part] to exercise those salivary glands ;). If you're not 'feeling' something .... being drawn to it ..... leave it! Don't force anything. Time, oh time, you relative thing. It brings its lessons in its stipulated, necessary periods. Not...

So how are the arabic studies going? I enjoyed my classes i attended last year and i DO love languages. All so interesting .... hope to continue it soon enough

;) with u on that! The hijab and other things are there for prevention .... and they do say that its better than a cure! And men being the visual creatures that they are .... it's just practical. But by no mean a concrete thing, you know. imho. But i guess we should also take into account...

People are people are people ...... Yet i have been very fortunate to have gained a great islamic-sufi education thus far. (I actually have to join a madrassa again later this year to continue .....) But yes, many of the "old school" imams or sheiks or mawlanas take meanings quite literally...

asalaamu alaykum Muslimwoman! I am the South African girl that Wil has refered to when speaking of his friend that converted to Islam as well. Your story is an interesting one .... My searching and finding Islam is a long and unlikely story, but I'll put it in a nutshell: At the age of 12 I...

when walking on fire the voices evaporate clarity 'midst fear

WELL, firstly i have to say: I do not see how, if scientists .... or whomever .... make use of deduction and simple logic .... HOW how how do you miss the fact that there's a Higher Power???? Where in the hell did that very first ""freak" organism (orgasm!) come from? :eek: OK. a...
