  • There seemse to be a wide range of opinions from one culture to another, and even just between people on what is an acceptable way to treat members of the opposite sex when you are in a committed relationship or just in general. Some women wont even speak to men, others wont shake hands, others go as far as hug members of the opposite sex or kiss them on the cheek...There are the extremes of both sides. We all know what is haram and what is not. But in the category of what is not haram, how far is too far? A... Read More

  • It has recently been brought to my attention that there is a growing "problem" in Arab American society, what we Arabs call...al 3inoosa.. or old maid. What age do you consider a woman an "old maid?" Is there an age limit/stigma attached to men over a certain age for marriage? Should there be? I am part of an MSN group of Muslim women over the age of 25 who are all single. To some of them, this is a big problem due to the thought that they are 3inoosa...is this true? Is a woman over the age of say...27 t... Read More

They are also being asked to give advice on how they can be attracted to other ev... Read More

Chaos, on the other hand, is the opposite of all love. Allah, through Ishk, destroyed and destroys chaos, and the first sign of the absence of chaos is the music of life expressed in rhythms and ...

In tug and pull?s race Envy is a grace, Which puts Darius1 crown on poor man?s face. Get this hid skill from a paragon2 lone, It is said that glass can be turned to stone. In each man?s hand lies the nation?s fate, Each man is a star of nation?s great. That diver was robbed of wealth of sea, Who was afraid to leave the shore with ... Read More

  • Volume 8, Book 75, Number 330: Narrated 'Ali: Fatima complained about the blisters on her hand because of using a mill-stone. She went to ask the Prophet for servant, but she did not find him (at home) and had to inform 'Aisha of her need. When he came, 'Aisha informed him about it. Ali added: The Prophet came to us when we had gone to our beds. When I was going to get up, he said, "'Stay in your places," and sat between us, till I felt the coolness of the feet on my chest.
