Salaam,

Anyone who wants to convert to Islam should be taken seriously. From my experience, most Muslims welcome converts, treat them kindly and offer them support.
 
Re: I found this on Yahoo Answers I would like to ask as a white male myself with nat

LOL the mel person is lying. Islam sees no colors at all. It does not matter what skin color you are, you will be taken seriously once you convert; there will be many many many people to help you out with your religion; Mel probably does not have any practicing Muslim or Hindu friends (i hope not), or she is just making this up to scare the questioner from these two religions.

“ O Mankind! Most certainly, it is We (God almighty) who have Created you all from a single (pair) of a male and a female. And it is we who have made you into nations and tribes, that ye may recognise each other (not that ye may despise each other). Verily, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is (He who is) the most righteous of you. „
—(Qur'an 49:13)

Muhammad's (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) statements on racism is seen in the hadith. According to the hadith by Imam Bukhari, the Prophet (May peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
“ All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white - except by piety and good action."
—(Hadith, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 7, Ch. 3)
~~~As you can see, it doesnt matter what race you are, the only way you are considered better in the eyes of Allah is by how religiously committed you are.

Peace dude.

salaam

If you look at the last poster on the Yahoo QA

Don't look for answers on Islam on yahoo answers lol.. There is no racism in Islam at all, the people who will have any problems with you are going to be cultural jahiliya (ignorance) and has nothing to do with Islamic teachings.

Amen to that

peace
 
Re: Are Muslims allowed to read the Bible if not can Islamic Scholars read the Bible

So it's a sin to read literature? Or am I misinterpreting your message?

Semi misinterpreting. I did not say it was a sin to read them. But I did say it would be a waste of time if we read them with no constructive purpose. As a confession I have a fair size collection of Bibles. Ranging from the Latin Vulgate to Several of the Modern English ones. I have read them for several reasons. However, I would say the most often reason I read them had no relation to religion. I found them to be an excellent study guide to see the development of the English language.

Salaam,

I agree that it is best not to go on Yahoo Answers to learn about Islam and Muslims. It is popular there to make negative comments about Muslims and Islam.
 
Re: I found this on Yahoo Answers I would like to ask as a white male myself with nat

Salaam

What matters is that You are a Muslim , not how people react to your skin color.
It is prohibited in Islam to discriminate anyone for their skin color may it be white,black, yellow orange or whatever.
People who do that are basically just ignorant don't let them affect you, and ask Allah help and guidance
Don't worry, God will take you seriously and that's all that really matters.

Salaam

Re: I found this on Yahoo Answers I would like to ask as a white male myself with nat

I am an American and I am just about as white as you can get. I have always been treated with the utmost respect and felt that I was taken seriously particularly by Muslims from birth. Last year I went on hajj and saw very few other 'white people' again I was treated with respect and conversed amiably with people from all over the world (if they spoke any English).
 
Re: I found this on Yahoo Answers I would like to ask as a white male myself with nat

I think what some reverts misunderstand as prejudice comes from their experience at Friday Jummah. They do not initially understand that many there are just on a short break from work and are in a rush to get back to their jobs and have no time to socialize after Jummah.
 
Re: I found this on Yahoo Answers I would like to ask as a white male myself with nat

:sl:

I am yellow, my skin that is. I have been mistaken for a Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, in fact anything except Chinese which I am. So far I have never felt being discriminated against by born Muslims. Actually, some of them went out of their way to help me learn more about Islam. That Mels person, if he is telling the truth, must have met some misguided people who thought that religion is the property of a particular race. WaLLaHu aklam.
 
Re: I read that the Bohemian Club members go to the Bohemian Grove and have a ritual

I read that the Bohemian Club members go to the Bohemian Grove and have a ritual called the Cremation of Care and make a mock human sacrifice to Moloch Moloch seems to be talked about in the Bible my question is is Moloch talked about in the Quran or the Hadith ?

Moloch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BOHEMIAN GROVE EXPOSED!

The Bohemian Grove, Satanic Rituals and World Leaders

I doubt very much you will find any mention of the Moloch (מלך m-l-k, a Semitic root meaning "king") it was the name given to a pagan god that was worshiped by the people of the Levant , that did not follow Judaism. You will find it mentioned in the Talmud and the OT of the Bible. I can not find it mentioned in the Qur'an nor can think of any reason it would be.

Err, yes? Isn't that kind of what freedom of religion (which Islam supports) implies?
 
Is it a contradiction to say Jesus Christ was all knowing and limited in knowledge an

Is it a contradiction to say Jesus Christ was all knowing and limited in knowledge and not all knowing at the sametime and Immortal and Mortal God and man at the sametime also the Christians say God can do anything but I have read both the Bible and the Quran they both seem to say that God can do anything but God does not do unGodly things like dying lying or forgetting things sleeping or failing in his promises ?

Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. Unto Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him save by His leave? He knows that which is in front of them and that which is behind them, while they encompass nothing of His knowledge save what He will. His throne includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary from preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous. (2:255)

Say: Shall I choose for a protecting friend other than Allah, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, Who feeds and is never fed? Say: I am ordered to be the first to surrender (unto Him). And be not thou (O Muhammad) of the idolaters. (6:14)

[Moses] said, "The knowledge thereof is with my Lord in a record. My Lord neither errs nor forgets." (20:52)

Indeed, Allah does not do injustice, [even] as much as an atom's weight; while if there is a good deed, He multiplies it and gives from Himself a great reward. (4:40)

...Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality". (7:28, part)

[It is] the promise of Allah . Allah does not fail in His promise, but most of the people do not know." (30:6)

Allah - there is no deity except Him. He will surely assemble you for [account on] the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt. Who is more true in statement than Allah? (4:87)

Say: He is Allah, the One! Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable unto Him. (112)
 
Re: When Muslims pray five times a day how long does it take also how long do Muslims

When Muslims pray five times a day how long does it take also how long do Muslims pray in the Mosque on Friday how many minutes does each prayer take ?

The 5 prayers are Salat. It is not quite the same as the Christian concept of prayer. It is closer to being a worship service or mass. Dua is more like the Christian concept of prayer. As for the 5 Salat the times can vary for each person as some will stay for optional duas as for basic obligatory Salat--Check HERE

Each Salat takes from 10 to 30 minutes typically the average being about 15 minutes if the person does not have to repeat his wadu. For most of us our 5 daily salat add up to only an hour or less total time each day.

Single Duas can be just a few seconds or as long as the person makes them.

A better explanation of Duas

Did Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him risk his life or wealth by saying he was a Prophet
also I heard that there was a Pagan Tribe in Arabia offered wealth to Muhammad is this true and he rejected the offer ?

"And (remember) when the disbelievers plotted against you (O Muhammad) to imprison you, or to kill you, or to get you out (from your home, i.e. Makkah); they were plotting and Allah too was planning, and Allah is the Best of the planners." Quran 8:30

Silly question, but what is the difference between a Salat and a Dua?

:wa:

What makes the answer difficult to understand is both are translated into English as Prayer. But neither is what is the non-Muslim concept of prayer. Dua comes the closest while salat comes to be more similar to a full worship service.

SALAT: The obligatory Muslim contact prayers held five times daily, one of the five pillars of Islam

DUA: Is a supplication or a calling out to Allaah(swt). It is informal, may be said in the persons own words and language. It can be said at anytime and it is not one of the pillars of Islam, although desired to be done frequently through out the day.
