  • Whats going on with the Muslims in Thailand?

    Why are Muslims in Thailand killing Buddhists? What's the reason? Don't tell me that those are extremists, I already know that, tell me WHY. I haven't been able to find anything online. I just recently learned about this and have no information on it whatsoever.

    Thanks.

  • praying Namaz with my eyes closed?

    I just finished Magrhib and had my brother tell me that I am not supposed to close my eyes while reading Namaz. Closing my eyes helps me concentrate more and able to actually feel like I am directly speaking with Allah (SWT).

    I like keeping my eyes closed also as it gives me a sense of spirituality. When my eyes are open, all of that goes away. Is it forbidden to close my eyes while reading namaz? Whether it is or isn't, can someone please give me a verse verifying this.

    Thanks.

  • Wearing the head-scarf over the ears?

    I would like a little detail about the head covering over the ears. I had heard that when Muslim men (Such as in Saudi Arabia) they were the head scarf over there head and all the way down.

    Another person once told me that the headscarf is not supposed to fall over the ears just like the pant garment is not supposed to fall over your ankles during namaz.

    If you can give me a verse from the Quran or a hadith about this id appreciate it.

  • How do I gain weight? (Real Answers)?

    This might sound a little funny, but I need another answer besides "eat more." I eat normal 3-4 times a day and I eat extremely healthy, such as alot of vegetables and meat also with rice, I eat alot of cheese and junk food but nothing seems to work. The meat in the foods I eat has very low fat content and cholesterol.

    I cant really eat at fast-food restaurants for religious reasons (Halal food). Im really athletic, I play Basketball and tennis 3-5 hours a day and this is an intense workout.

    So I need a easier way to bulk up a little bit because im skinny and I want to gain weight!!

  • Any good Islamic stories you have to share?

    I love listening to the Islamic stories and was wondering if anyone had any good ones? Heres one.

    He remembered his grandmother's warning about praying on time:

    'My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time'.

    His grandmother's age was 70 but, whenever she heard the Adhan, she got up like an arrow and performed Salah.

    He, however could never win over his ego to get up and pray.

    Whatever he did, his Salah was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to get it in on time.

    Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha.

    He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib.

    While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed.

    His grandmother prayed with such tranquillity and peace.

    He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for a while.

    He had been at work all day and was tired, very tired.

    He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting.

    He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded.

    Every direction he looked in was filled with people.

    Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting.

    Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst.

    It was the Day of Judgment.

    When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago.

    Could this be something his mind made up?

    No, the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this.

    The interrogation was still going on.

    He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him.

    All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him.

    Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the centre and left him there.

    His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie.

    He opened his eyes but saw only another world.

    The people were all helping others.

    He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam.

    His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared.

    He pleaded his case, "I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadhan."

    "Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did."

    "Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not."

    He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah.

    He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over.

    His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision. At last, the decision was made.

    The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd.

    His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began

    To read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam.

    His name was read first.

    He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be, "How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah to others."

    His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat.

    The two angels took him by the arms.

    As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward the blazing flames of Jahannam.

    He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him.

    He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Noble Qur'an that he read, he was asking if none of them would help him.

    The Jahannam angels continued to drag him.

    They had gotten closer to the Hellfire.

    He looked back and these were his last pleas.

    Had not Rasulullah [SAW] said, "How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins?"

    He began yelling, "My prayers? My prayers? My prayers?"

    The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam.

    The flames of the fire were burning his face.

    He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him.

    One of the angels pushed him in.

    He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames.

    He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.

    He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard.

    He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, "Who are you?"

    The old man replied, "I am your prayers."

    "Why are you so late?! I was almost in the Fire! You rescued me at the l

  • Should the Quran be handed out openly like this?

    I think that its strange that Non-Muslims can get their hands on a Quran so easily. I mean I encourage them to learn about Islam. But they are holding the Holy book of Allah without Wudu. Even the english translations have the holy words of Allah written to the side... How do you feel about this?

  • What do I do, I need TIPS AND ANSWERS!!!?

    Ok im in a really big problem that I need help with, I am not very good at physics and I made a really big mistake in the beginning of the year by taking AP physics which I thought I could handle it. My Physics teacher is really bad at explaining anything, he is downright terrible. Now he keeps giving assignments and tests that are getting harder and harder. I don't really understand them because he cant explain anything right, now I need to switch out of his class but it wont happen until the end of the term which is in 2 weeks, my original plan was to just try and get through, but that is NOT working. I need some help on what I should do, can anyone give me a REALLY REALLY good Physics website that I can look at to study and practice, or can someone give me some tips on what I should do! Any help is appreciated.
