Quote: I have nothing but the very most respect and appreciation for all that have been helping me learn about Islam. I am really glad I have found so many friends here that are willing to help me find the way. Before I knew much of Islam, I have asked God many times before to please help me get to the right path - and I believe that my interest in Islam is God's way of guiding me to the right path. Had I never bought the Quran and read it every night, I would never had these questions and the desire to learn more. I really feel that God has willed me to be among the righteous, and he has presented me with the Quran and so many friends to help me get there. Ever since I began reading the Quran and thinking about God every second of my day, I have noticed alot of positive changes happening. I am forever thankful to God for showing me the way, and I am also very thankful of all the Muslim friends helping me along. Thank you all VERY much!!this is the way of the muslims...
i see you are starting to get the lingo down...heheh
you are saying as salaamu alaikum
great..... it means peace be unto you
now how about letting us teach you some more of this...
here is another one
Jazaakallah khair...
it means may allah reward you with goodness...
you say this instead of saying thank you...
the prophet says.."من شكر الناس شكر الله" whoever thanks man thanks allah..
so there is nothing wrong with saying thank you...
but also : the best thing that you can do for a muslim is to say Jazaakallah khair...
as you can see it can even increase the brotherly love that we share...
so josh
i must say
jazaakallah khair for starting this thread...
