May 31, 2005 at 7:36pmHi Fitra. I remember reading somewhere that Albert Einstein favored a vegetarian diet later in life. I guess we have something more than our birthdays in common, after all.
May 31, 2005 at 12:46amAlbert Einstein believed "Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind."
May 31, 2005 at 12:45am"Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." "Nothing will benefit hum...

Anyone know of any fun or interesting places to go in Detroit (or other parts of Michigan)? I'm pretty open to anything.
May 9, 2005 at 11:40pmThis is the motor city, so here's a couple events related to automobiles (its the reason this city even exists). The Woodward Dream cruise is in August, the worlds largest rolli...

As much as the question it self is controversial, it goes down under the souls? framework to checkout all the hidden skeletons. For once if we can take off our narrow minded religious hats and think like human beings; for sure, we will see a dozen religions surrounding us. The question is not to debate which religion is the best of all, but to see the need for an organized religion (e.g. Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc?). Is it something that we are human beings cannot live without? Are a... Read More
May 9, 2005 at 2:31pmcorrect jaz, the proper set of rules that are equal for all, would also take care of human rights at the same time.
May 7, 2005 at 6:27pmMine is a relatively simple question. Does religion need human rights for it to be 'complete' OR do human rights need religion?

The cruel and sadistic tradition of bullfighting is, unfortunately, one of the biggest tourist draws in Spain (and other countries around the world). A recent survey conducted in Spain revealed that 60% of Spaniards are not even interested in bullfighting. Tourists are keeping bullfighting in business. I'm adding a link here to Peta's page, which has more information about bullfighting and what you (that's assuming that you are opposed to animal cruelty) and I can do to make sure that people stop pumping mone...

May 8, 2005 at 9:24amWell, the fact is that popular science assumed in the past that animals experienced NO emotions, that their actions were hormonal reactions to outside stimuli. Current research...

I wondereed what store is considered to be the nicest in NYC. Is it Barneys or Bloomingdales? Or is it something else completely? I would appreciate a answer from a local. I am trying to get a bridal present (money vouchers) for a friend who is moving there, so any information is much appreciated.
July 5, 2005 at 8:28amYep Bergdorfgoodman..but it also depends on what you are buying--i.e. makeup lines at Bergdorf is the best but saks may have a better selection of something else---But as far as...
July 5, 2005 at 3:22amthanks for the advice guys, I choose Bergdorf Goodman in the end (which was a painful decision) but I heard it was the most shi shi. It was vouchers for a girlfriend's wedding w...
May 2, 2005 at 9:20amBergdorf Goodman...at least this is where I would want to go with a money voucher (note: not my own money :)).

0. Was our beloved Rasool (SAAWW) a vegetarian? YES or NO? NO. 1. Do we all acknowledge the event when he, as a youth on a trip to Syria, refused to attend a gathering where non-halal meat was being served? I BELIEVE THIS. 2. Okay, then where did he learn the correct ways of Deen-e-Ibrahim? Could it be learned in the homes of Kuffar'e Makkah? NO. (Please correct me if any answer is incorrect - the burden is on you, O Khalifah!-) 3. So then where would Muhammad Mustafaa (SAAWW) have learned about Zab... Read More
October 8, 2005 at 2:56pmOkay, so this is becoming one sided. Does no one else care to fix the oxymoron that Abu Talib wasn't a muslim when simple rational proof like this tells us that he was a hanif?
July 14, 2005 at 5:38amSo can this article help in resolving a potential dispute about where our Beloved Prophet was mentored through his 'formative years'?

May 22, 2005 at 12:36amThanks shadowfigure, hostels are a great idea, except I'm not too sure how that would work out for me as a single hijab-wearing woman... I was always worried about the privacy f...
May 21, 2005 at 1:51pmI went to both cities last year by myself also. Id recommend staying in hostels, instead of hotels. You meet crazy characters from all over the world and end up hanging out wi...

What do you think is a reasonable age difference between the man and the woman in a couple? I know a lot of us could say that anything goes as long as it works for the couple but if there is a choice what age difference would you consider right? who should be older?
May 6, 2005 at 1:39amDAMM. Sorry about the length. I got done w/ exams yesterday, and have some time on my hands hahaha.

March 26, 2006 at 11:47amFunny thing is, there is a pita lebanese restaurant in my area. The employees wear a shirt and on the back it reads, 'no pita for you' :)

Does anyone here live in an area where the masjid or some other group sponsors a support group or committee just for converts? If so, please contact me (or if you can't because you don't give your $ to Naseeb, you can post your response on here). I'm very interested in starting one of these groups in my community inshaAllah because of the growth of Muslims here (alhamdulillah) and would like to know how other similar groups were organized and function. Thank you!!
May 2, 2005 at 12:56amSalam Sis, You can start with the presentations (new muslim class) and buddy system with no need for funds. It's all volunteer based here, you just need someone who is well v...

I am getting increasingly irritated by the fact that why do women have to take all the responsibility and impose more and more restrictions on themselves because men are sick. Why would Allah want to do this to half the population of homosapiens? BUt then is it really what Islam teaches us or the interpretation that comes from predominantly male scholars. In our culture women are taught to always be afraid of this and that. Dont wear this, dont talk loud, dont laugh. Then if you wear hijab people will obje... Read More
May 7, 2005 at 10:45amI think there is a little bit of cultural variation in that concept of not attracting attention. If I walk down the street here in an all back iranian or saudi chador, I will a...

Does anyone here every frequent used bookstores? This sounds cheap and dorky, but I figure why not get the books that you want (especially if you buy alot of them). Also, you are doing the environment a favor. The best part though is finding that 1942 Rubaiyatt, or an early Shelley book of poetry. I absolutely love going to these places and poring over the stacks. Its somewhat of a hobby now. Anyone else?
May 1, 2005 at 12:46pmThanks Salman, I know ALL of the used bookstores in NOVA. However I was focussing more on the ambiance and the desire.
May 1, 2005 at 9:48amI shouldn't be promoting used bookstores here, since publishing companies lose money to them, but I must say that I find old, weathered, worn books charming and would much rathe...
