    Does Islam Need a Reformation?

    Islam does not need a reformation. Islam is the reformation. Reforms people from servitude of false items of worship to the worship of the Creator of the Worlds. Frees people from the worship of man to the worship of the Lord of man. From having their vision limited to the confines of...

    Abrahamics and your beard.

    According to the Islamic understanding, keeping the beard is the tradition and way of all the Prophets of God and thats the example we are meant to follow. There are also authentic narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) instructing Muslim men to grow the...

    New prophet?

    There will be no new Prophet after the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him). He is the last Messenger and the seal of all the Prophets. This means that no new revelation and no new Law will come. Islam is applicable in all times and it's the religion till the end...

    What is your definition for 'extremist'? What kind of speech/behavior can consider as hateful?

    Depends on what we are talking about but generally there are always two extremes in any issue. One is going overboard in something and the opposite is neglect. The middle path is what we should follow.

    islam vs Judaism

    I have heard of the opinion that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) died of poison. I don't know of its authenticity but putting that aside let's consider it for sake of argument. First look at the context of what happened. Some meat was presented as a gift to Gods...

    Born into Islam and Islam as a religion of Peace

    Most of the conflict we see in the world today is for other reasons, it's not because one side is Muslim and the other isn't. The issues are deeper than that. But just to comment on what you said, it's actually a common misunderstanding (amongst both Muslims and non-Muslims) that everyone is...

    islam vs Judaism

    In the Islamic tradition, it does not say in the Quran that "God created Adam in his image/form." However there is a narration of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) saying that, and the way it is understood is that the pronoun 'his' refers to Adam not God. So its said...

    Is this how religion works, at least partially?

    In Islam we have a balance of Hope, Love & Fear. We believe all three are essential for true faith. Heres a good article on this: Fear, Love & Hope- The Three Essential Ingredients for Eeman | KONDORI

    Holiness as separation; Love as inclusion

    In the Islamic understanding of the teachings of the Prophets we are a taught that separating from sinful people depends on the situation, the time and place. For example, if a particular community has strong moral values then it may be more beneficial to separate from and even boycott...

    Being Both Muslim and Christian

    Yep. To be Muslim one has to accept the Quran, and God clearly says in the Quran: "This day, I have perfected your religion for you, completed My Favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (Quran 5:03)

    islam vs Judaism

    Another difference is that Jews place too much emphasis on the letter of the Law overlooking the spirit. Christians on the other extreme place too much emphasis on the spirit of Law overlooking completely the letter. Islam I believe takes the middle path and places the right importance on both.

    islam vs Judaism

    As a Muslim, I believe there are major differences between Islam and Judaism. To mention the main ones.. Firstly, the concept of monotheism in Islam (tawheed) is more comprehensive than just acknowledging that there is One Lord. We believe that there is none worthy of worship except God, our...

    Hello all

    Thanks mate. Abu Faris is my kunya (Islamic tradition of using a sort of nickname). Doesnt really make sense if you just say Abu. :) You can read more about them here Kunya (Arabic) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Hello all

    Hello all. I'm a Muslim (Sunni, traditional/conservative in my views) from the UK and enjoy discussing religion. I'm in my mid-twenties, was always raised a Muslim but only really started practising and learning about my religion when I was 18. I thought I'd join this forum because I do not...
