h| Q, Just be nice like you would be to any stranger to whom you come to meet for the first time. If the Imam seems fussy over protocol, something isnt right. He shouldnt be concerned with such things. I dont see any need to call an Imam 'Sir'. You can ofcourse if you like. Saying 'Sir' is...

h| Sub, No, there is no specific greeting for an Imam. He is a muslim, so you greet him with "Asalaamu alaikum" if you like. Its not an inter-religious greeting in the sense that a non-muslim cant use it. It means 'Peace be upon you', so no restriction there. You can say hi or hello as well...

h| GIL, Your question made me smile. Its the first time ive heard this one. Anyway, its totally untrue. Hope that clears it up. Best regards, thipps.

Devadatta, I am not interested in your personal views/interpretations as to what islam should be or even what you think it is even when you are told it is not. So, finally I repeat to you the last verse of the 109th chapter of the Qur'aan: To you be your religion, and to me my religion.

h| Devadatta, This was discussed in another thread some time ago. Please click this. Regarding the rest of your post, didnt we discuss with you on the subject of apostacy in the Abdul Rehman thread? Anyway, doesnt matter what reason anyone gives... the real reason it is done because the...

I think the even greater mistrust lies in the fact that the US,which is spearheading this whole thing with Iran, is the one nation that has actually dropped the atomic bomb. People see it as a double-standard. I do too.

After hardship, there is ease insha'Allaah.

salaam farhan, Do you have a reference for this hadith? jazaakallah khair, thipps.

We could if you actually supported what you said with authentic material. Let me help you out here. The length of time is known. ----------------------------------------- Narrated By 'Aisha : I never felt so jealous of any woman as I did of Khadija, though she had died three years before the...

bluroze, I'm more curious as to why you are asking this question. regards, thipps.

explain.

Wrong. You presume too much. btw, you are not a muslim and we do not know of your sources. God knows where you have been reading things from. Still, taking you on your word, ok, tell me why did you say 'long time'? thats a relative term in the current context. put it in years. I know you can...
