إمام سليم چشتي
I am a Sunni Imam following the Hanafi madhab. I speak internationally on Interfaith Reconciliation, Sufism and Islamic dream interpretation. I was born in New York City in the 1950's and studied many religions and spirituality before taking shahada about 10 years ago. I also have a blog answering questions about Islam from the perspective of Qur'an and Hadith. Hopefully without cultural overlays. I run a small importing business specializing in jewelry, clothing and gift items from India, Pakistan, Turkey and the Middle East. If you want to know more you can email me. Peace and Blessings, Imam Salim
Travelling to Lahore?
As Salaam alaykum!
I will be traveling to Lahore in February and have been told conflicting things about the safety of Americans there. I would like the opinions of native Lahore residents as well as Americans who have traveled there recently but others are welcome to chime in of you have something relevant to say. I have been there before and love the city very much and have good friends to stay with, but want other opinions.
Thank you and bless you.

The path from the village to the well is very narrow and only allows one person to pass at a time. One person is walking from the village to the well and one is walking back with a full water jug. One has to give way so the other must pass. Who should give way?

15 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoGreetings and Blessings to you on Yom Kippur!?
Greetings of Peace and wishes for a deeply spiritual and meaningful day for you on this very holy day of Yom Kippur. It is very poigniant to me that we share this day of fasting with our Jewish brothers and sisters this year. May the hunger pangs that each of us feels turn into pangs of desire for peace in the world. May we all learn fromthis day of atonement to observe ourselves and our actions toward God and other people and truly make this earth a place that reflects the heavens.
Peace and Blessings,
Salim
