Hi all. In Latvia there is a place called Karosta prison where you can go for the night and see what it was like to be a prisoner to the Soviets there. I was wondering how real the situation is and maybe how you felt etc while you were there? Thank you very much.

Know ye that Allah is strict in punishment and that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
The Messenger.s duty is but to proclaim (the message). But Allah knoweth all that ye reveal and ye conceal.
Say: "Not equal are things that are bad and things that are good, even though the abundance of the bad may dazzle thee; so fear Allah, O ye that understand; that (so) ye may prosper."
O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur’an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft- forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Some people before you did ask such questions, and on that account lost their faith.
It was not Allah who instituted (superstitions like those of) a slit-ear she- camel, or a she-camel let loose for free pasture, or idol sacrifices for twin-births in animals, or stallion-camels freed from work: It is blasphemers who invent a lie against Allah. but most of them lack wisdom.
When it is said to them: "Come to what Allah hath revealed; come to the Messenger.: They say: "Enough for us are the ways we found our fathers following." what! even though their fathers were void of knowledge and guidance?
O ye who believe! Guard your own souls: If ye follow (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who stray. the goal of you all is to Allah. it is He that will show you the truth of all that ye do.
O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah. "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah. if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!"
But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury), let two others stand forth in their places,- nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah. "We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth): if we did, behold! the wrong be upon us!"
That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true nature and shape, or else they would fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths. But fear Allah, and listen (to His counsel): for Allah guideth not a rebellious people:
One day will Allah gather the apostles together, and ask: "What was the response ye received (from men to your teaching)?" They will say: "We have no knowledge: it is Thou Who knowest in full all that is hidden."
Then will Allah say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Recount My favour to thee and to thy mother. Behold! I strengthened thee with the holy spirit, so that thou didst speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. Behold! I taught thee the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel and behold! thou makest out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, by My leave, and thou breathest into it and it becometh a bird by My leave, and thou healest those born blind, and the lepers, by My leave. And behold! thou bringest forth the dead by My leave. And behold! I did restrain the Children of Israel from (violence to) thee when thou didst show them the clear Signs, and the unbelievers among them said: ’This is nothing but evident magic.’
"And behold! I inspired the disciples to have faith in Me and Mine Messenger. they said, ’We have faith, and do thou bear witness that we bow to Allah as Muslims’".
Behold! the disciples, said: "O Jesus the son of Mary! can thy Lord send down to us a table set (with viands) from heaven?" Said Jesus: "Fear Allah, if ye have faith."
They said: "We only wish to eat thereof and satisfy our hearts, and to know that thou hast indeed told us the truth; and that we ourselves may be witnesses to the miracle."
Said Jesus the son of Mary: "O Allah our Lord! Send us from heaven a table set (with viands), that there may be for us - for the first and the last of us - a solemn festival and a sign from thee; and provide for our sustenance, for thou art the best Sustainer (of our needs)."
Allah said: "I will send it down unto you: But if any of you after that resisteth faith, I will punish him with a penalty such as I have not inflicted on any one among all the peoples."
And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
"Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, ’worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord’; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thou didst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.
"If Thou dost punish them, they are Thy servant: If Thou dost forgive them, Thou art the Exalted in power, the Wise."
Allah will say: "This is a day on which the truthful will profit from their truth: theirs are gardens, with rivers flowing beneath,- their eternal Home: Allah well-pleased with them, and they with Allah. That is the great salvation, (the fulfilment of all desires).
To Allah doth belong the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, and it is He Who hath power over all things.

What if John Lennon hadn't been shot? What if the U.S. didn't win the American Revolution? What if computers had never been introduced into society? What if there was TOTAL peace in the world? I'm just wondering "what if?". If anyone can honestly answer these (and no religious crap [read the name, I don't care]), then please do, and if anyone can think of there own "what if?" questions that'd be great too.

Moments ago, a user named Huzaifa A asked this question:

"Hey dear guys as the quran says many peop;e come to Islam from cristiany and some other religons,do you agree/"

"a Cristian monk who came to Islam said that now only I am the best Cristian...........................?????..."

I quickly confronted the asker about his lie regarding the Qur'an talking about Christians and other religions. The asker removed the question within minutes of being caught and confronted.

We both know that the only thing the Qur'an says about people converting to Islam is that they are "forgiven" from paying the jizya ( protection money ).

What would you say to your fellow Muslim, who is using lies about the Qur'an to spread your religion?

Last week, my boyfriend proposed. I'm 23, he's 27. I was so happy and loved the ring. But a couple of days ago, I accidently came across documents and the recipt from the jewellers he got my ring from, and was shocked to find out the ring cost just over 10 grand. Worried he had taken out a loan or something, and would probably get into debt, I told him what i'd found. He then said to me "Don't worry about it, I used my savings". He'd saved up that money since he started his first job, and now most of it's gone. I know he was the one who choose to spend that much, but I feel so guilty everytime I look at my ring. I love my ring, but a ring isn't what's important to me. I want him to return my ring so he gets his savings back. I want him to spend the money on himself and do things he enjoys, as he's the one the earnt it. But I don't know how to tell him that. Am I being ungratefull?

2. I try to convince them to give me their personal credit card details as a 'security check'
