There is a nice article that talks about a lot of beautiful reflections upon this. The link is below

You try to get married to save yourself from falling into a haram relationship and you want to start a family based upon the law of Allah, but our culture today has made it so difficult. Sisters are looking for a prince charming who bleeds money and waits for them outside on a white horse while their families expect someone with as much accomplishments as someone who has already lived a full life.

This is not even to mention all the stigma around marrying young or even how you can't find a sister who is not so westernized that she feels taking care of a human life and nurturing it into adulthood is a chore and a shackle.

May Allah help us.

After the two year arabic program, what faculty would you go in and why.

These are the Faculties:

Faculty of Islamic Law (Shariah)

Faculty of Islamic Theology (Usool Ad Deen wad Dawah)

Faculty of Hadith

Faculty of Quran

Faculty of Arabic Language

Does it not suffice us that we have the most pure definition of montheism an all perfect omnipotent Master and we have a clearly defined purpose, and a concept of After life that is so just, and prophets who came with pure messages, and a book that answers the deepest most fundamental questions of our very being?

The Sahabah did not need science to tell them to become Muslim, and it was an obligation on mankind to believe in Islam even before those scientific discoveries were confirmed in Quran.

If you are not pleased with what Allah had given as proof for this religion before these scientific discoveries, then will you ever be convinced for sure.

Yes its true that there are some miraculous things about things foretold in Quran, but its very simple for someone who doubts to say this could have been known other ways. But it is not simple to doubt the creed of Islam, for that you need to reject truth.

Salam Alaykum, make dua for something big, like jannatul firdaus, so i can get the reward for inspiring you to do it. Prophet said:

"Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action." (sahih Muslim)

For those of you who are not Muslim, don't you feel incomplete wandering in the world without a purpose, We have it made clear to us and blatantly defined in the Quran:

“And I (Allah) created not the jinn and mankind except that they should worship Me (Alone)” Ad Dhaariyaat 51:56

We were not created aimlessly, how could you think God would create you and leave you with no guide.

"Does man think that he will be left neglected (without purpose)?" Al Qiyamah 75:36

“Then did you think that We created you uselessly (without a purpose) and that to Us you would not be returned?” Mu’minoon 23:115

And this is so rational because if we are creation from God then it only makes sense that our purpose should be for Him and Him alone, and if you serve people, serve them for His sake.

In the Quran:

"Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], "Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire." Ali-Imran 3:190-191

“Truly in the heart there is a void that can not be removed except with the company of Allah. And in it there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to Him and always remembering Him. And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness.” — Imam Ibn al-Qayyim

“There is no happiness for the hearts, nor complete delight, except in loving Allah and drawing close to Him with whatever He loves. And it is not possible to [truly] love Him, except by turning away from all that is loved besides Him. This is the reality of laa ilaaha illAllah and it is the Religion of the close friend (khaleel) of Allah; Ibrahim ‘alayhis-salaam, as well as that of all the Prophets and Messengers.”—Shaykhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah

What do people have a problem with those who ascribe themselves to the salafi movement. The Salafi da'wah is just that its a means of da'wah that was meant to revive muslims to go back and understand the religion as the best of generations understood it, they are called the salaf us salih, whats the problem, these are the people who earned the pleasure of Allah which is why we say radiAllahu anh after their names.

The real problem is that people don't want to follow Islam the way it was meant to be understood but they want to interpret the Quran and hadeeth according to their whims and desires.

Either way i prefer to clarify and say the point is to follow the WAY of the salaf NOT form some new group.

Islam-pure monotheism

This is something a shia pointed out to me, i didn't even have to do any research...

The book(Al-Kafi) is widely considered the most authentic of shia hadeeth collections. Its author (Kulaini ) was among the greatest and most respected shia scholars in history; for example:

Al-Najashi has said, "In our people al-Kulayni was the chief scholar in Ray, Iran. He was the most reliable in the matters of hadith.

Al-Tusi , the great scholar has called him the most dependable expert in hadith, the man of highest esteem and a scholar in hadith.

Al-Majlisi : "He is unparalleled among all the scholars we have seen. The study of his compiling hadith, his manner of editing them, proves him to be a Divinely gifted scholar.

IT CLEARLY SAYS ABOUT THEIR GREATEST MUHADDITH THAT HE EDITED AHADITH. RSPONSES COMMENTS ANYONE??? MAY ALLAH GUIDE YOU TO ISLAM
