Salam alaikum sisters, it has been about 2 years since I last logged in! Subhanallah! When I first joined shia chat I was a sunni, just trying to understand my husbands beliefs. But about a year and a half ago I started practicing shia islam. I don't see many of the ladies that I had grown to know 3 years ago on here? Or perhaps usernames have changed? Again, I have been gone for some time, so who knows what has changed?

What exactly do you eat? It seems everything disgusts you.

Yes I love malfouf!

Yes aubergines/eggplants whatever you want to call them! LOL

LOL I didn't mean any disrespect!

I know I said I like everything about dolma, but I forgot about the dreadful grape leaves, the taste is fine, just the texture of the leaf is repulsive! My Dolma is very healthy, :P it has dill, mint, and parsley, along with rice, spices, a little lemon juice, olive oil, ground meat, and tomato. You stuff this filling into hollowed out eggplants, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes, onions, cabbage, and grape leaves (I don't like the grape leaves). Are you referring to the milk and rice desert or the dish with garbanzo bean and meat?

The onions are my favorite! :) Actually I love everything about dolma, there isn't one thing in it that I dislike. At first I didn't care for maqlooba, but would cook it for my husband as he likes it, little by little I have grown to enjoy it. And yes I cooked these.

You are quite the rude one.

My sister in-law who was pregnant with twins (all of my husbands family is in Iraq) just passed away 1 month ago from a mistake the doctor made.

This is the same for me as well, except for me, it was 5 months after my reversion. :) Now that I am married everyone assumes I became Muslim because of him! I say no! I knew and accepted Islam before I knew any Muslims.

I am 20 years. I reverted to Islam when I was 18, at 18 1/2 I met and married a man from Iraq. :)

This is just my experience, but as I said before, when my husband and I first met we clicked or maybe as you would say it "made sparks" hehe. I can only give you advice on what I have experienced, I wish I knew more about if a spark came later or not. I honestly can not say. I also agree with what Gypsy said. If they do not have good qualities and yet there are "sparks" then they are the wrong kind of sparks (lust)! My husband was very honest with me, respectful, kind, and I could go on and on! Even after marriage not a thing about him has changed he still has the kind and gentle heart he had when we first married. :)

Thanks! Insha'Allah I will know the Quran as good as I knew the Bible some day. Do you mean a sin you didn't repent from will be exposed or every sin you did, one's you even repented from? Are you saying to self inflict pain and damage to your body?

What do you mean by taking care of them? Sorry for all the questions, but as I said sometimes it is hard to find specific answers to questions.
