Hey..
Welcome to the forums. Like the brothers and sisters have said above - insha Allaah (God willing) you'll have a beneficial time here. If you got any questions to ask about islam, christianity and even the similarities between them, you can ask any time - you can try checking the
Comparative Religion section out to look into that.
You can also check an excellent site called:
www.beconvinced.com
I'm sorry to hear about your children, and even though this may seem really sad, its a fact that whenever one has stressful situations within their life, they are the ones who will most likely turn to God, so please count it as a blessing, there are alot of people out there who are experiencing the same thing you and your children are..
In islam, we believe that God tests the people whom He loves, this can be through any form, and even if your child is disabled - their blessed because God loves them, and turning to God will make life easier for them, as they'll depend more on God, instead of the worldly passions which don't last forever.
I wont say anymore, because this is just the introduction section - but if you have any questions and you want the answer/view through an islamic perspective, then you can ask in the
Cyber Counselling Section.
We look forward to your posts, and we hope you have a long-lasting, beneficial stay here insha Allaah. (God willing.)
Thanks..
