Just a correction sis Soha, the tree is actually in Sydeny. Apparently the author has mispelled it as SIDNEY. But yeah its DEFINITELY in SYDNEY. NOT IN WESTERN AUS. And its near Wollongong. Most of my family friends have actually gone and seen it and have taken their own photos of it. Its an...

Indeed, your spot on sis reemz. My English teacher once asked me whether in my opinion 'terrorists' are actually Muslims upholding the word of God' I didnt have to think twice in responding in the negative. Terrorists are not Muslims becuase if they were then they'd follow the Hadith of the...

lol you make it sound as if dog saliva is poisonous! Yeah, but I get your point its just that dogs are impure hence forbidden. This is really a trivial aspect of Islam...its not one of the pivotal element of Islam that distinguishes it from other religions. I can't beleive it was brought up...

I have been asked questions (btw yours was NOT a question it was an offensive denunciation of the Ahadith)by Aussies who are cowboys (as in farmers without any knowledge of Islam whatsoever) and none of their statements have ever been as 'ridiculous' as yours (considering your location anyway...

In fact Generator and nekkid you are both spot on! while Hotshot is utterly wrong. This is becuase Islam makes no distinction whatsoever with politics and the law. In fact in Islam the law is shariah and politics as anyone who has read Islamic history will tell you, were an important part of the...

Um if you re-read my statement, I was answering the Twain thing in relation to Hadiths. Hence, I was comparing the textual integrity of fiction and non-fiction. My apologies if my thinking is a bit complicated. I wasn't comparing Twain to the Hadith's in regards to dogs, just in regards to which...

Firstly, dont you mean BIAS without an e? Well think about it logically, this discussion is being held with regards to the Muslim Eastern context of Islam. So of course any western fiction author has no place here. I mean, if a Muslim said something about a Bible, I highly doubt if the preists...

I know that you have moved sister tangerine, but being a pedantic, I like to set things straight. The purposes of this discussion did NOT require you to tell about how religious your family is. And for that Allah is the Judge. Not you or I. But I find it very annoying when people say that 'IT...

Sister tangerine, Im not pursuing any agenda in analysing the articles you have posted, but Im taking up my VERY precious time to tell the people who use the Internet as a sole basis of their perception that it really isnt accurate or that reliable. After all, ANY ONE and I repeat ANYONE can...

ALL Muslims know that a saheeh Haidth by Muslim and Bukhari are authentic and PART OF ISLAM, never EVER have I heard to the contrary. So the point is if you have a Haidth by either of these, it has been validated and confirmed by at least 300,000- 500,000 pious Muslims based on evidence. I have...

I know the potential controversy my statement may cause, but sometimes its really not 'good' to delve into extreme explanations of a simpe rule. For instance, when someone says 'don't lie' we dont go asking people WHY we shouldn't lie, we just know that its not a morally decent thing. The same...

If a Muslim person has a dog, then 1) they dont know about the Islamic ruling on it 2) they know but choose to ignore it and decide to not follow this particular, although trivial but STILL, a rule. In either case, Allah knows what their intention is. Of course if they knew about it then they...

Oh yeh you are right, my bad. In Arabic we say 'AlayHIL salam' not Alaikum salam which is striclty speaking 'to you' rather than to 'them'.

Muslims are allowed to have cats as pets as Abu Hurayrah (one of the Companions) (rau) like the Prophet (pbuh) was fond of cats hence his name Hurayrah (ie in Arabic literally the father of a kitten). As for dogs, dogs are extremely unclean and impure. According to our Prophet (pbuh) "If a...

As to the initial enquiry of this thread, I could never answer it, give me a million years and I still wont able to say what its like being a Muslim. Personally, being a Muslim is the GREATEST blessing I have got from Allah and Im literally over the moon. I feel at peace that my Allah loves me...
