As long as you're sincere in your Muslim Faith, then I think that's all that matters!!

Yes, my dear brothers and sisters in Islam: You do realise, of course, that as long as we stay divided, the other religions (especially Christianity) will always be laughing at us! It might be time for us all to wake up to ourselves!!

Sister Marzii: Are you sure you don't mind brothers entering into this conversation? It's just that I: and I'd say most brothers and sisters; have been through what you're going through: and so I'm very sorry that you are going through this! I read recently, that it's some of the evil Jinns (Satan's helpers) that are doing this to us, and so we have to pray to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى to help us to not let these thoughts get us down or worried; and to eventually stop these thoughts all together; Whenever I get these types of thoughts, I ask Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى to forgive me, and to make me stronger so that I can resist these thoughts and feelings from getting me down or upset! And I find that praying about this does help! I hope this has helped, at least a little bit, dear sister.

What a strange question! Of course Rape is NOT allowed in Islam!! Why would Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى (God) condone Rape?!!!

Please excuse my ignorance, brothers: but just out of curiosity: isn't Sufism practised by a certain number of both Sunni and Shia Muslims?

Brother AnotherSheperd! You shouldn't be talking to another Muslim like that!!

I'm still new to Islam: but shouldn't a Rightly-appointed Kalipha be decided on, before any fighting or battles take place in the name of Islam, at all?

Yes: Fair enough, then, Bro.

I know, brother Arminmo: but as an Ummah: if we want to build Islam back up again: all of this in-fighting has to stop! And we need to Unite!

Also: we Muslims shouldn't be insulting each other! I notice on this Forum that we do insult each other, from time to time: and that goes against Islam!

I'd be wary of Freemasonary: I don't know much about it, but if there is anything in Freemasonary at all, which contradicts Islam, then it's best to leave Freemasonary altogether! But more importantly: we should be devoting our whole life to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى and our Deen! Other things tend to distract us away from Islam; in my opinion: and that's not good! Remember: we're here to Worship Allah (SWT): that's our main purpose in this life!!

And it's topics like this which should help to UNITE our Ummah: not cause further division!!

Has anyone had a look at this book, yet? And does anyone know anything about the book's author: Sheikh Ahmad Mahmoud?

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam! I highly recommend that you read this book!! It's called: THE DAWAH TO ISLAM by SHEIKH AHMAD MAHMOUD (1995); it's about 400 pages; or 189 pages in PDF FORMAT; It explains that we all need to form a united Ummah, so that we can effectively make Dawah as a group!! It makes for very powerful reading, and is probably just what The Muslim Ummah needs at the moment!! Here's the Link: and you can download the PDF Format of the book, once you open the Link to the Website!! Your Brother in Islam, always, ManofIslam http://www.khilafah.com/book-al-dawah-ilul-islam-by-sheikh-ahmad-mahmoud/

Sister Sara: I'm a brother; but my advice would be to pray about your worries and concerns, in relation to this situation that you have mentioned, and then when you and your husband are living together, then just let Nature take it's course?!
