I agree with sister ayan333,people are starving to death and they are making million/billion dollar artificial islamds for what? show off?,Allah is testing the arab countries with money and they are failing miserably,and I hardly see any Arab with a beard apart from the scholars/mufti's and such
"ABD Allah ibn 'Amr said, "I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) one
day whilst he was performing Wudu' (ablution) slowly and carefully. He
raised his head, looked at me and said, 'Six things will happen to this
Ummah: the death of your Prophet - 'and when I heard that I was aghast,' -
this is the first. The second is that your wealth will increase so much
that if a man were given ten thousand, he would still not be content with
it. The third is that tribulation will enter the house of every one of
you. The fourth is that sudden death will be widesprea. The fifth is a
peace-treaty between you and the Romans: they will gather troops against
you for nine months - like a woman's period of childbearing - then they
will be the first to break the treaty. The sixth is the conquest of a
city.' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, which city?' He said,
'Constantinople." (Ahmad.)
Verily, His Command, when He intends a thing, is only that He says to it, Be! and it is.

how dare you speak of arabs in such a manner. just because you might not have seen them with beards doesnt make them any worse than yourself. Dont think that just because you may be practising and so on that you can go around speaking ill of others. what knowledge have you acquired and who have you studied under to go around making such statements? There are good and bad amongst every nation. You have no right to single out arabs or anyone else for that matter.
I'm not an Arab myself, but i spent a lot of time studying in Saudi so i can say i know a fair bit about them.
Choose your words carefully in future
O Allah, Lord of Jibreel, Mika'eel and Israfeel. Creator of the Heavens and Earth. It is You who commands on the worshippers according to what You have decided. Guide us to the truth by your mercy. Surely. You guide whom You will to the Straight Path.
Oh come on. I am not against arabs of course. U call Dubai a muslim land and most of the arabs living there good muslims then. What with running about in sinful clothes as in the west.
And building massive structures costing billions of dollars when they could have been using the same money feeding needy muslim countries where people are dying of starvation. Ok I agree that Dubai needs to develop its tourism as it is running out of oil but they are just pouring money into their extravagant construction like an unused river pours water into the sea.
Someone also said here that we should appreciate the non muslim tolerance. That someone is being too optimistic. I should tell you that there is no Islamic law which allows you to tolerate non muslim activities to such an extent that they begin dominating MUSLIM culture in ISLAMIC territory?
I didn't mean to offend anyone but this is actually the truth.
its true
the women care more about their gucci and prada and have 10 maids running after them carrying their shopping bags while the poor starve around the world (a sister i know wittnessed this), and its actually weired if you wear hijaab!!!!!, and its true, they are being tested with wealth and are failing miserably.they are so obssessed with copying the west, its laughable!

We may be no scholars. But what we are saying is logical. Honestly. A 12 year old kid who is brought up as a moderate Muslim would tell you that what Dubai is doing is very wrong. Again i say. I am not against Arabs as a whole but just against Dubai.
I should tell you that there is no Islamic law which allows you to tolerate non muslim activities to such an extent that they begin dominating MUSLIM culture in ISLAMIC territory?
But i don't think there is a law which says the opposite. I remember even The Prophet himself have nothing against to non-muslims and their place of worships (like churches). Dubai gives them only the land to build the worship place, they are not invest their money in the building.
Dont think Dubai is really a Muslim place anymore. Some of my friends tell me that you hardly find any mosques there.
depends where you stay. in the touristy areas, no you wont find masjids but there may be prayer rooms in the hotels.
Otherwise if you go into muslim areas or like dubai city centre youll find masjids all over...
but yes there are nice things in dubai though on a whole it seems theyve lost the plot
and are you the same member as orn by any chance? if not, then i believe mizan_aliashraf was replying to his last statement in particular, not what you said...

Thankyou sister, and the others that have made nice comments.
To that cretin who made Astufrigllah (sp) comment, you're clearly deluded! This shows that Muslims are tolerant of other Religions, it is also true Sikhism was told it will flourish worldwide, as it is. Unlike other Relgions Sikhs do not convert others, they have a Sikh comminity there which needs a Gurdwara. Now, some of you stupid fanatics, obviously show no tolerance like the amicable Muslims. I'm so glad you are in the minority!

If the sikh wish to have a place of worship in so-called Muslim lands, they should apply for a permit and pay for it, like everyone else does..
If this indeed came from Muslim money then all I can say is what an abomination!

Shiekh says he's gifted it to the Sikhs. I'm not sure what the reasons. but I'm Sikhs living there have contributed towards paying taxes etc then they are ENTITLED TO IT!!!!
