Al-Salamu Alaikom I'm writing as my best friend, who is a christian, asked me if I would attend her little sister's confirmation, which is naturally held at the church. A confirmation is basically a sacrament, ritual or rite of passage practised by Christian denominations. The word means strengthening or deepening one's relationship with God. However, I'm not really sure if I'm allowed to attend such event, and I've been researching the internet, but the arguments that followed were all suni related (not that I mind) but it's just the arguments were based upon what the sahaba has said, and I'm not really sure if it's exactly the same, cause we do have different views on some things.

Is it fair to say that Shias are the people and political movements in the Middle east that are keeping the Ummah from falling apart?

Salam brothers and sisters. i have been thinking of trying to organize a some kind of dua event which all muslims (or the majority inshallah) can participate in. what has popped into my head over the last few months was how beautiful it would be if muslims allover the world all read a pre agreed specific dua (such as dua e zamana) asking Allah swt to speed up the return of our Imam as all at the same time. or perhaps to cater for the different time zones we could have a 24 hour session, where countries will be allocated a time and all the muslims would read the dua and inshallah the outcome would be that for every hour of the day a country somewhere would be reciting the dua. with todays technology and internet addicts it shouldnt be that difficult to spread the word. what you all think? i am happy to post some duas, there are many links already available on this site, is there a dua that would appeal to the majority of schools i am open to suggestions on days (i think friday) and what do people think about having it read in unison or over a 24 hour period. thanks for your time
