  1. I think "life" is a miracle and blessing of Allah (swt). I have never witnessed a birth though....

    Hmm, there are a lot of miracles thought in this world...I just think that most people miss them! As i do! I never seem to notice them! It's a miracle I'm still alive..haha lol!

  2. awwwwww

    its good ur faith helped u

    are u shia and named aysha?

    sometimes its easy to lose trust in Allah....i was very angry wen my dad died....i used to take anger out on anyone/everyone

    even now i think i have become more stressed/hot tempered as a result....i think im gonna have a heart attack...but overall im mashallah alot more relaxed/calm...feroza stone really helped me

    i think the confusion/extra responsibilities caused alot of stress/anger....i shudve been cryin on the prayer mat

    Yes, i am Shia, and named Ayesha. I was actually born Sunni, but two years ago i realized the real truth, and converted to being a Shia!!!! I always believed in the Shia Ideals...just took me a while to realize i could convert.......

    I hope you do not have a heart attack! Anger won't get you anywhere! I hope you stay calm and relaxzed! You are in my prayers! Salaam!

  3. A lot of people say that the "signs" of the End of the World have been increasing lately. I have always wondered if we will live to see the day of Jesus (pbuh) return.

    I doubt it, but think it would be a wonderful experience.

    I don't know if this is all true, but when I was little, my father told me:

    Jesus (pbuh) will return, marry, have kids, and finish his life on earth.

    Rule the earth as king.

    Fight and defeat the anti-christ

    Return 40 years before the Day of Judgement.

    WHen Jesus (pbuh) returns, people will no longer be able to have children, so we can all reach a similar age (i.e., the old die off, and no new births...we will all be about the same age, or so)

    I don't know, but I think that would be a fascinating time to live.

    Also, the return of the Medhi!! Would be soooo exciting to live through!

    Do you think you'll live to see these Miracles??? InshAllah!

  4. I was 16 years old when both my nani and mother passed away (within 2 months of each other). Honestly, for two years after my mothers death...I did not cry once. I kept telling myself that my Ammie was away on vacation, and that she was coming back....It's been 6 years now, and i'm starting to accept the fact that she will not return to this earth....But knowing that i can read Al Fathia and pray for her gives me solace.

    I think the poll should include: Cry, Anger, No Emotion, Through Prayer

    :) Just an idea!!!

    Salaam!

    my Faith has helped me a lot through this ordeal! Always trust in Allah!! (swt)

    Dear brothers and Sisters

    i would like to share a story with all of you.

    There was an old lady living in a city. She has only one son and no other relative. Just few days before muharram, the dies. Old lady cries a lot. Every day, she goes to grave of his son and sit there and cry.

    Muharram started and on first of mharram, on her way towards grave of her son, she stopped and thought that these days are of muharram, the days to cry Imam Hussain A.S. so she moved towards a place where there was majlis going on. She sits there and listens to majlis. For the next 10 days, she did the same thing.

    After Ashura, she goes to the grave of his son, she saw a laday, wearing black burkha and sitting on grave of old lady’s son and crying. Old lady went near and said: you have sitting on grave of my son. This grave does not belong to your son. You are forgetting.

    The reply was: No, I am sitting on right place. For the past 10 days you were sitting in majlis and was crying to my son and I was here in your place to cry for your son.

    please give your openion on this .......

    thanks

    :cry: Awww, that was beautiful and moving. Such a sweet story!

  6. Although I couldn't find any direct quotes within the actual Holy Quran, I did find some interesting things...

    Here is some interesting stuff i found from: http://www.islamicity.com/articles/Article...ref=IC0303-1906

    Our Prophet (pbuh) also told us that Jesus (pbuh) will be sent back to earth and related that in that time, which is called "the end of time", there may be a period in which the earth will attain unprecedented peace, justice and welfare. The "end times" refers to the period of time close to the end of the world. According to Islam, in this time, there will be the terrible trials of the Dajjal (Anti-Christ), many earthquakes and the emergence of Yajuj and Majuj (Gog and Magog) after which the ways of the Quran will prevail and people will extensively adhere to the values it introduces.

    He is a Sign of the Hour. Have no doubt about it. But follow me. This is a straight path. (

    Surat az-Zukhruf: 43:61)

    Ibn Juzayy says that the first meaning of this verse is that Jesus (pbuh) is a sign or a precondition of the Last Hour.

    In Sahih Muslim, it is also stated that the Hadith in which it is said that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will descend amongst people at the end of time have reached the degree of being mutawatir, i.e. narrated by so many people in each generation that it is not possible to have any doubt of their authenticity, and that it is counted as one of the major signs of the Day of Rising. (

    Sahih Muslim, 2/58)

    Hudhayfah ibn Usayd al-Ghifari said, "The Messenger of Allah (saas) came to us all of a sudden as we were (busy in a discussion). He said: 'What are you discussing?' We said: 'We are discussing the Last Hour.' Thereupon he said: 'It will not come until you see ten signs before it' - and (in this connection) he made mention of the smoke, the Dajjal, the beast, the rising of the sun from the west, the descent of 'Isa the son of Maryam, Yajuj and Majuj, and landslides in three places, one in the east, one in the west and one in Arabia at the end of which fire will burn forth from the Yemen, and drive people to the place of their assembly." (Sahih Muslim)

    • Narrated Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: There is no prophet between me and him, that is, Jesus (peace be upon him). He will descend (to the earth). When you see him, recognise him: a man of medium height, reddish fair, wearing two light yellow garments, looking as if drops were falling down from his head though it will not be wet. He will fight for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine and abolish jizyah. Allah will cause all religions except Islam to perish. He will destroy the Antichrist and will live on the earth for forty years and then he will die. The Muslims will pray over him. Sunnan Abu Dawud 37:4310
    • How will you be when the son of Mary descends amongst you and he will judge people by the Law of the Qur'an and not by the Law of the Gospel. Sahih Bukhari 4:55:658

    Proponents of Jesus' return believe that after Jesus slays al-Masīh al-Dajjāl (literally "the Deceiving Messiah," loosely the Antichrist; often referred to simply as "Dajjāl") at the Gate of Ludd in Palestine, Muslims believe he will marry, die and be buried in the Masjid al Nabawi. During his life, he will have revealed that Islam is the true religion of God.

  7. I just read another post...and it got me to thinking.

    I have noticed, in my life, that some people only remember Allah when they are in pain, or during a rough time of their lives. Of course, Allah is who should turn to in times of need.....but....I also think that you should remember Him and thank Him for all the good he has done for you.

    In times of strife, if you can remember Allah and still thank him for everything you have, and turn to him for help and still be faithful....i think that is true faith. Some people struggle all their lives, and then turn away from God, and stop believing....this is our test.

    I believe we should remember Allah in times of happiness as well. It seems that some people only remember Allah, when they are in pain or loss ("Why Allah?" "Please Allah, help me") Which is okay...but when Allah blesses you with his mercies, I think it is kind to thank him, and be grateful for which he has given us. Instead of always blaming him for your miseries....

    Usually, we go through our daily lives, ( i'm an example) and take everything for granted. Lately, i've been noticing this homeless person, everywhere i go...It makes me feel sad to see him....but thankful to Allah that I have a car, and food, and shelter..and nice things. The only sad part is, I wonder why I have to see sadness (ie. a homeless man) to realize all the good things i do have. I urge everyone to take a few minutes to Thank Allah (swt) for all he has given us. Without his mercy, we would be no where!

    Sorry....just had a thought, and I thought i'd share it with you all. Thanks for listening...

    Salaam

  8. i think Allah (swt) causes us pain, to "test" or faith.

    I remember when I was little, and my mother passed away from cancer, a lot of aunties and uncles told me, that Allah takes those he loves the most first. (I am aware this is not a religious belief...just something they must have told me to put me at ease.)

    Other than that, in times of strife, if you can remember Allah and still thank him for everything you have, and turn to him for help...I think this is what he looks for. Some people struggle all their lives, and then turn away from God, and stop believing....this is our test.

    I would also like to add, that I believe we should remember Allah in times of happiness as well. It seems that some people only remember Allah, when they are in pain or loss ("Why Allah?" "Please Allah, help me") Which is okay...but when Allah blesses you with his mercies, I think it is kind to thank him, and be grateful for which he has given us. Instead of always blaming him for your miseries....

    Thanks...didn't mean to offend anyone from my opinions.... :)

  9. Yes, I have to admit my Christian friends were totally freaked out by the scarf. If I encountered them while out in public, they would pretend to not see me - but they would say hello to my children! I lost the only babysitter who ever came back twice too. :(

    Oh no! That's horrible about your babysitter! I started wearing it around 9/11, and one of my friends, who i had known for 10 years!!!! SAid, "Your dad probably builds bombs in your back yard!" The oddest thing, is that she knew my dad, mom, and sister...yet she became so ignorant after 9/11.

    A lot of people became "afraid" i guess would be the word or felt intimidated of me, after i started wearing it. I noticed in classes in college, very few people would sit next to me, unless they knew me. I don't know if it was out of repect (hopefully) or fear????

    Salaam

  10. I reverted to Islam in December 2004. Not long after that I met a little girl who was being raised by her father. Her parents were divorced, and her mother was non-Muslim. I talked once with this girl about her dreams for when she grew up. Though she was very, very smart, her "dreams" were so low it was shocking to me. She hoped to one day be able to work in a restaurant! I knew that her father wanted her to wear hijab when she reached the age that it was required. I asked her about that. She said that women either wore hijab, and didn't go to college, or didn't wear hijab and might be educated professionals. :o I had graduated from University with a BS in civil engineering also in December 2004. I started wearing hijab to show this little girl that it was possible to be a good Muslima, and also have a professional career. After I started, I would feel naked without it - it just felt entirely natural to me. Within weeks after starting to wear hijab, I was offered my first full-time engineering job - fear of difficulty in seeking work was one of the things I worried about most before I was hijabi, and after I wanted to be.

    Wow, you seem like a really good, positve role model! MashAllah... :) Did people look at you differently than they did before? I lost a few american friends when i did it....

  11. Walaikumasalam wa rahmatullah wb,

    After being introduced to Islam, I had been wanting to wear it for a while and I had decided that I would start wearing it on a particular day (the day after my formal/prom). The formal was on the tuesday night, I planned to wear it on the wednesday. A friend of mine called me a week before my formal and started talking to me about hijab (she had no idea I was planning to wear it a week later). When I told her I was wearing it wednesday she was like why wednesday, why not today and I told her that I wanted to go to my formal on the tuesday. Anywayz, she spent a good one hour trying to convince me that I shouldn't wait till wednesday and I shouldn't go to a formal where I'd be wearing a revealing dress and around alcohol and music and dancing with guys and all that. One thing she said really got to me that night. She said to me that Imam Mahdi (ajt) see's everything we do and imagine Imam (ajt) watching me dancing with some non-mahram guy, how would he feel. That one thing really got to me (and also stuff she was saying about death) and so the next day I put on hijab and didn't go to the formal alhamdulilah.

    Oh and as for my original motivation - I wanted to wear hijab originally coz I knew that it was wajib and I had to.

    wasalaam

    MashAllah for not waiting till wednesday! I think it takes a special strenght to wear one! Thanks for the reply!

  12. This is the most ridiculous topic title. BIBI FATIMA (as) IS THE LEADER OF ALL WOMEN!!

    The highest title for women goes to Bibi Fatima (as) . Second would definitely be her daughter ZAINAB! Bibi Zainab (as) saved islam and showed the world the genetics of Ali and Fatima.

    I don't think it is a ridiculous question or title. Everyone admires different people. Obviously it is a given that everyone loves and respects Bibi Fatima and Bibi Zainab...but i wanted to see which other women are looked up to within Islam, as well.

  13. As Salaam o lai kum!

    I am writing a 10 page paper on "The motivation to wear Hijab" for a learning and motivation class. It is a psychology class.

    I need at least 10 references which are reliable.

    I also was wondering if any Sisters could share stories as to why they choose to wear Hijab...and what "motivated" them to do so. Everyone has different reasons.

    I would be very appreciative of any help i could get on this!

    Jizakh Allah Khair to everyone!

    ma Salaam

  14. A/S,

    for me, it has always been Bintul Huda. she is one Muslima, i admire. however, those living...i still got to consider.. :unsure:

    I would say obviously Bibi Fatima. Considering she had to live after the deaths of so many loved ones. Also, Rabbiah. (I believe she may have been a sufi Muslim?) She was a slave girl who was so devoted to Islam, her master was impressed, and freed her. It was said she has so much Nur on her face, she actually had light/halo above her head. Although I wouldn't say Rabbiah was "influential" i find her story to be quite inspiring.

    I also feel that Bibi Khadijah (the Prophet's (pbuh) wife) was very infuential! She was one of the first women business owners, i have ever heard of!

    Bintul Huda is an excellent choice!!!!

  15. 1) How will your life change upon getting married?

    I will feel fulfilled. I would consider myself quite successful in life, if I could get married and have children.

    2) How will you view your unmarried life?

    I don't get this question?

    3) Will your relationship change with your siblings and your folks after marriage?

    Yes, because I will have to leave my family's house. But i think they would be happy for me to get married. My father has already sort of discussed this with me. :)

    4) What would be your personal aims? Would you have any?

    Personal aims would include, having a job untill I became pregnant. But i rather be a housewife, provided that My husband was alright with that. I would want to be available to take care of him at all times. I'm old fashioned, i guess y ou could say. Another aim, would be to have many children. I love kids! InshAllah one day, i can have some.

    5) What would be your aims in life, then?

    Life aims=Have a happy family (husbands and kids are happy with me). To raise my family Islamically and teach them good ideals and morals. To be able to be active in the community, and to help others. To be healthy. Try and serve Allah swt to the fullest of my capability, inshAllah.

  16. AOA ayesha how r u ?

    please read first what mutah is in http://www.mutah.com

    then first decide is it halal or haram .. then discuss about how to perform mutah and with whom a man or woman can perform mutah ... u do not know the knowlage about mutah first get that knowlage .... and a father can allow her daughter or can stop her doing mutah ... as a father can allow a daughter to go out and do job or he can stop her doing this .... basically mutah is not for only for virgins girl its for all women ... i mean widow separated specially couze in the society we are living a widow and seperated can not get married that easilly ... and other thing is ... you can calculate the pupolation of the world women is three time then men

    so in this case like supoose if there 100 males and 300 females in ur society 100 men married to 100 women what will happend with the rest of 200 women where will they go ....... so please think about this

    Oh! I don't want to get a mutah! I was just curious about the circumstances! Thanks for the website though, very informative! Jizakh Allah Khair
