there should be a question mark button for when you have no clue what the person is trying to say?

I ussualey forget that death could be anytime. BUt sometimes on those sleepless nights I think that one day I'll be 6 ft under.
i think th ething that scares me most about death and th egrave is not just th epunishment. The fact that i have to face it alone in a dark grave. Sometime si cry because I hate being alone. But sometimes i think that Im going to go to jannah but then i dont really know. How bout if i go to hell.
i mean everyone has plans for th efuture. But they dont know wat will happen.
The question is wat can i do to stop being scared of death? i know its painful to die and leave all ur loved ones because even the prophet said truley death brings agony when he died. And he was th eRASUL!! SO how can we get over th efeeling of this world and think more of the here after? How can we be prepared for death whenever it comes. How can we be joyous of dieing and meeting our Lord?
jazakallah
Hope I see u all in jannah!!!

Every soul shall taste death

Do you think that John had knowledge of the writings of Matthew, Mark, and Luke and did not need to repeat what they had written, or that he perhaps had no/very little knowledge of them, hence the difference in writing style and content?

God is coming soon to take His church. You are on His side or against Him. Deep down in your heart you want to hear what i am saying. God has written the truth on your heart. Why fight against Him? You know there is a God or you wouldn't fight against this message so much. i can not prove to you there is a God with my words. You have to feel and listen to God for yourself. God will come in to your life and forgive you of everything you have ever done wrong. Jesus was God in the flesh. He lived a perfect life to take your punishement for sin. You have to repent (turn to God and all that you know that is wrong) and believe in what Jesus did for you. Jesus shed his blood on the cross so God can find you not guilt on your day of judgment. Today is the day that God is calling you. Do not waste anymore of your life following everyone else. Surrender you entire life to Jesus today! Just pray what is on your heart to God. Prayer is just talking to God. May God Bless you and show you the truth!

I met this woman when I first entered college, and we became friends. We like to get together once and awhile away from school for a movie or playing board games, etc,.. However, almost every single time we have made plans, they either don't fall through, or we do them hours after the time planned. The reason for this is her tardiness. We'll make an agreement to meet a venue, i'll get there, and she won't be there. I've waited hours for her on so many different occasions. I'll call her numerous times, yet I may not get a hold of her until the next day. She gives me excuses like she went to sleep or decided to clean.

Does this not sound like complete and utter disrespect to me?

Most of the time we agree that it would be best if we met at my place to play games and what not. She won't show up until 3-5 hours after the agreed upon time. I've told her many times that I want to start playing early, like after supper so I don't stay up all night and am tired when I get up with my son.

There was a just a question posted about a nativity scene possibly being taken down because it is set up in a city park. Both the mayor and the cities attorney approved of this.

My question is, would the following work in order for the nativity scene to stay up.

By law, cities can lease out there property for public use. For example, a municipal center can rent out the conference rooms to anyone, by law they have to allow religious organizations to also lease these or else they would violate separation of church and state...correct? So in this case, is there any problem with the city leasing out the land that the nativity scene sits on to a local church for the winter months? This seems that it would be working within the law to accomplish what the people of this city want. Of course, they would have to make that same piece of land available for anyone to lease at anytime.

I'm not a lawyer, but does anyone see a problem with this?

Would anyone still have an issue?

Salaam,
I have been considering wearing a hijab for some time now but I'm still a little unsure. Atm, I wear indian/pakistani type tunic and trousers with head scarf but my hair is not fully covered. I have seriously been considering wearing the hijab but as you may have read from my previous question, my family aren't exactly...supportive. I want to cover myself properly for the sake of Allah but I don't know how my family will take this. What shall I do? Any advice would be great, thanks!

Like, I don't think they're mentioned at all in the bible, so.. if they supposedly came before humans, but God created humans practically right after Earth, how do churches explain this? Or do they even?

I'm not anti-Christian or anything, I've wanted to ask like youth group leaders but I didn't want to look stupid.

Where I am from in the UK normally if someone states they're are an Atheist it is really no problem at all and I haven't heard of them being misstreated because of it.

Do you get troubled for being an Atheist in the US?

I'm Catholic, and I know that Eastern Othordox are basically the same, (Except for a few things) But, I know the Priests in the Orthodox Churches can get Married....I'm thinking about becoming a Catholic Priest when I get older....But somebody told me that I can't convert to Orthodox, and become a Priest to get married? Is that true? Because I'm Catholic?

Thanks =)

According to my observation.........every major religion i.e Christianity, Jewism, Hinduism,.................they are all united together against Islam. It seems like they are afraid of Truth of Islam that's why they are creating false image of Islam being religion of terrorists..........which is not the case.
