Hello all

[Abu-Faris]

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 know any non-Muslims who have an interest in discussing religion. In our society its always considered one of those topics you should never talk about. Which is unfortunate really as I think all the materialism we see is distracting people from thinking about the big questions.

I look forward to participating in discussions here.

Enjoy

Welcome Abu, hope you have fun here.

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

My apologies, it is a bad Australian habit to reduce pretty much all names. Thanks for the correction.

Welcome aboard

"Abu" actually means father of. It is considered an honorific to address people in Arabic countries.

Non Arabic also misuse "Abdul" which does not make sense alone.

Anyways, enjoy your stay
