What do you think of when you hear the words “Muslim Woman”?

Do you think of a religious woman with rights and freedom of choice?
Or do you think of an oppressed woman who has no choice in any aspect of her life and is simply ruled by the tyrant rulers of Islam?

It is a sad fact that most people today would admit to the second suggestion.

I am a Muslim woman but I don’t feel that way - so where have all these misconceptions and misunderstandings come from?

The Revival used to be a site of many. You want news, politics, religion, you want to laugh, joke, tell you filling, you want to debate, speak freely and you got the place. Today The Revival is full with childish topics, it is no longer a place of interest and you can hardly hear any body speaking about it any more.

The Revival used to be like most web browser's homepage. The first thing they want open when accessing their Web page was The Revival. People liked to laugh before they start morning work or change their mode when they had bad day. What most of you here thought was useless topics were the only topics that people out there were interested to read.

Everyone dies, it's just a nick of time & we shall say good bye to you too.... No matter if you alcoholic or a whatever that might keep you healthy. We are all going to die in one way or another. Today he died, tomorrow you die and day after I die, it's a circle of life. Some people leave longer than others simply to pass or to handover the process of life.

So, take it easy to those you call alcoholic and let them enjoy their time and life while they steel can.

Does anyone else get really annoyed when they hear muslims make statements that are based clearly on modernist interpretations of society and history?

Like take for example you always hear muslims nowadays saying that Islam is a religion of Tolerance. I could go in depth about the background and nature of the concept of Tolerance in recent in history but I'd be here all night. To the point how is Islam a religion of Tolerance?

It's certainly tolerant of some things and intolerant of others but so is every culture and religion in the world.

Peace of heart comes from a heart free of anxiety. Anxiety is caused by the weight of all that is material.

The weight of possessions, love of family, children, this world etc.

These all weigh the heart down and prevent it from soaring. The way to purify and free it is to remember Allah (swt).

Remembering Allah (swt) internally/secretly by making inward supplications is one of the principle qualities of identifying the true believer.

Continued from the lost thread.

The Holy Prophet said “The excellence of a scholar over a worshipper is as that of myself over an ordinary person from amongst you”.

He has also said “The excellence of a scholar over a worshipper is like the excellence of full moon over the stars”.

My brothers,

I heard that Suni has simplified most of complicated rules within!! I don't know how true this is but if so, I want to change from Ibathi to Suni! Is there any rules I should follow to do so?.

Thank you very much.

I wonder why we don't have one rule for all so that Islam stays stronger!! . We have Suni, Ibathi, Shiya, etc.. Almost more than four different types of group and each one of the group does not fully comply with other!. Why this conflict?. Who started such conflict?. I mean we should have all followed our prophit [color=blue]Mohammed[/color] Peace b upon him.

Islam is supposed to be colour blind. No race/colour is superior to another.

How much do you stereotype? When you see someone who is black, do you hold your purse closer to you and walk past him/her quickly?

I often hear elders stressing over how our youth are “acting black”….listening to rap/hip hop makes them “black”

When you see a white girl do you just assume she's easy?

Do you ever come across Pakistani’s or Indians and assume that they’re backwards and smell of curry?

Does the media reinforce our stereotypes? Or do people actions make us ascribe stereotypes to them?

I keep on getting this loug voice of Mujahid. He said that he is in heaven. He said that things are really cool over there. Nice people, everyone almost is the same. He sees very few women that he had to ask the Angels where are all the dead women go. He was told most of women are in hell for what they did on earth.

no blessing on this forum, i wish it will ruin like every other time...and yah admin i was involved on the last time when ur forum died...next time think twice before deleting my post abour my twin brother wishes...
