Aslame Alyukum Brothers and sisters..


I am a 19 Year old muslim, i have lived all my life as a muslim. i come from a religiouse family. I met this wonderfull girl 14 months ago i built a realionship with her and fell in love with her. we both also had problems with other members of the family in the past which my parents know about but have heard from other members in the family this makes it even harder to tell them because they already think bad things about her which are true, and i believe that we make mistakes and learn from them. i personaliy havent told my family about her . I think if i told them they would be upset and at the same time its hard for me to let the girl i love go and upset her. i dont want to upset anyone with my actions or hurt anyone. She is willing to convert for me but not yet ready beacuse she dosent know much about islam and still learning about it.


I really really need some help i know it is forbiden to disobay your parents, i dont know what to do..........


I look forward to your replies.


Many thanks


Ahmed

It all started on another threas as a side talk. Then we saw due to the importance of the issue being raised and for benefit of all, for a member may be looking for this specific info which will be hidden under different topic.


Insh aAllah may Allah makes it a beneficial thread for all of us

I think Lifutushi made an excellent point. U know what Ibn, here is where I borrow your quote as we must not pin our mistakes over others. We should not use Muslim rulers as a cause of our mischief. Allah shall remove the unjust only when we act like Muslims real Muslims. Only when we make Allah our priotiry.


Note: Pls execuse any typos, I dont know where I left my reading glasses. I am doing this without them

Ass'alam Alaikum Wa'Rahmatuallah,


I wanted to ask if someone could help me with a Situation,Inshallah.


My Husband's Family lives in our Home and I have a Brother-In-Law who is unmarried yet is having relations with another Female Muslima via Telephone and Internet and my Husband has confronted him about this,My Husband allows this act to continue in our home because he beleives he has fullfilled his obligation and states that it is none of our Business because he is a Grown Man and that he will be held accountable,ASTAFIRALLAH.


The Question is


Does anyone have Hadith' about this Issue? What I mean is how many times do you tell a Beleiver what they are doing is wrong? And if it is still happening in your Home with you knowledge arent you still held responsible for it?

Assalamu Alakum Wr. Wb.

Salam Alaikum..I have lot of questions, I ask to myself but I dont find answer.I cant ask others because they will think I doubt. Its not doubt.


When I ask here, I get classical answers like everywhere. But its not this. I m tryin to look by books like by ghazaly, ibnulcawzy etc.


I never find one in real life I can ask all my questions. We have to life alone with our problems that never can be discused and never can be asked to a schoolar...


Not all socialproblems of muslimfamily is taken by schoolars. This is sad...


wassalam

Taken from Dr. Zakir Naik (www.drzakirnaik.com):


1. Belief in the hereafter is not based on blind faith?


Many people wonder as to how a person with a scientific and logical temperament, can lend any credence to the belief of life after death. People assume that anyone believing in the hereafter is doing so on the basis of blind belief.


My belief in the hereafter is based on a logical argument.

==================================================


I was brought up in a catholic family and raisd with Catholic values and traditions. At the age of fifteen i entered the monastery. While inside the monastery i was happy because i can perform my duties as a NUN and the people around me including my family were also pleased with me.


Until such time when i began to ask myself every night; "What am i doing here inside the monastery?" i stayed in our small and hamble chapel and started to ask God if he is really here listening to me. because i have learned in our catechism that God is present in the Blessed Sacrament.


Many questions were lingering my mind. Doubts were cropping up , particularly concerning the reality of Jesus Christ. However, i did not have the courage to ask a priest nor my co-nuns who were with me at that time. I was afraind that they might take it against me.


So i let all doubts linger, i even allowed myself to profess my first temporary vows, and i kept on renweing it every year for TEN YEARS. Until such time thay i could not take it anymore. my perpetual vows of chastity and poverty; proffessing that Jesus Christ is my God and that he is the son of God.


I started to pray harder, asking God for guidance and to show me the right path.


If i will leave the monastery it would bring great pain to my mother! My father actually did not mind if i leave the church and have my own family.


But i do not want to hurt my family, particularly my mother, my two brothers who are BOTH priests and my four sisters who happen to be all NUNS!


Above all i dont want to be hypocrite and pretend that i am happy practicing something which is against my underlying principle.


So i did not submit my application letter of perpetual profession, i talked to my superior general informing her that i am finally LEAVING THE MONASTERY.


Without informing my family i left to find work to survive, after while i met a close friend of mind who is a priest and offered me to work with him in his church in Marawi City (Philippines) as a parish coordinator.


Incidentally, my family heared the news that i left the church and it was very hard for them to accept the fact but they were hoping that one day i might come back to serve the church.


While working as a parish coordinator, the priest who hired me (MY FRIEND) was not treating me well, He did not even pay me salary and tried to sexually abuse me. But Thanks God he was not successful with his evil intentions.


Agains i started to pray asking God to be with me and to make me happy, because i have never been at peace with my life, My heart and mind were miserable.


A NEW DAY:


On June 17, 2001, early morning , I heared a beautiful sound but i did not understand what it was. i thought it was coming from the mosque nearby. As soon as i heared that sound i felt like i was dipped in refreshing water. i cannot explain the feeling.


That day i felt happiness entering my heart, though i did not understand what i heared. So after heaing this amazing sound i said to myself those few words " There is a new day, there is a new beginning"


i woke up that morning asking what was that sound and they told me it was the call for prayers of Muslims. Strange i came to this City (Marawi) on the first week of May 2001, but i only heared the call of prayers of Muslim on June 17 2001.


That day i decided to find out about Islam and Muslims. i started to search through reading some books untill finally i left my work, i went back to my family in Pampanga and found out that my father already passed away.


I was dipressed for a while but it did not stop me to discover Islam. So i went to Manila hoping to find someone to explain to me about Islam. In my heart i was reading to embrace Islam but i did not know how!


I did not give up, i search on the internet, i even went to the extent of joining chatting rooms, hoping to find a Muslim who can enlighten me about Islam.


Finally, i met someone in one of these Chat rooms, He is foreigner married to a Filipina. that time he was in China when i was discussing with him about Islam.


On June 16, 2004 i met that brother in Manila, he started to explain to me about Islam and ON THAT MEMORABLE DAY i declated:


LA ILLAHA ILLA ALLAH, MUHAMMADUR RASOLULLAH Wa ANA ISA RASOLULLAH..


i bear witness that there is no other god but ALlah, and Muhammad is his messenger and Jesus Christ is his messenger.


That fateful day, i finally found my new home, the home of Islam, A home where you can find love, happiness and joy. now i can smile , A smile that comes from my heart. On that day i slept very well.


everytime i pray, i cry, not tears of sorrow, but tears of joy. A joy which money cannot buy. its indescribale!


Now i remember when i have a conversation with my grandfather who is also a catholic priest (My mother's uncle). i told him that i want to change my religion and his response to this was surprising! He said "If you want to change your religion, then go back to ISLAM" ALLAHU AKBAR.


May Allah open the hearts of my family to the light of Islam. and May He protect us from Satan. Ameen.


O brothers and sisters! include me in your prayers.


Assalamo Alikum.

What is everyone's take on the situation in Cyprus? Seeing as Turkey is a predominantly muslim nation, do most of you side with it? And who supports the Greek position? Let's get this thread a'rollin'!
