Muslims would you marry your cousin? I know it’s allowed, I just want to know if you would. If you’re wondering I wouldn't but I wouldn’t think anything weird if someone else would. It’s just my personal view.

I just answered a question on what I did with my eyebrows. I answered honestly and said that I plucked them because they can look unrurly (messy). Anyway I got thumbs down for this because in Islam you are not supposed to do this. Which led me think that if you had a top lip mustache would you leave this alone because this is how you are meant to be or would you thread (bleach, wax) these?

Friday bath, Muslims & cleanliness!
http://www.milligazette.com/Archives/15052002/1505200245.htm



“Excuse me, Sir. I was told that you are a Muslim? ” “Well in that case, I would like to know, how do you people manage with only one bath a week? he asked.

Possibly less out of ignorance and more to vilify me, he continued in the same vein. ”I understand that you people take bath only on Jumma, that is Fridays?”

Ignoring the clear sarcasm in his tone, I said, “Yes you may be right..” I paused. “It is true that Muslims do take bath on Fridays, but they also take bath on the eve of their festivals. They also bath after burying their dead. The Muslim males take bath every time they ejaculate for any reason. Muslim females also take bath at the end of their menses. Muslim couples take bath after having sex. This is over and above the daily routine bath one undertakes as a matter of habit.”

“Do you know gentleman,” I continued, ”Muslims wash their genitals after passing urine? Do you also know that prior to each prayer five times a day, Muslims perform what is known as Ablution (Wudu), whereby they wash off all those parts of the body which are exposed to environmental pollution?”

Is it out of sheer ignorance or systematic vilification campaign, one cannot decide for sure, but giving the benefit of doubt to all our friends who are not only awfully ignorant about Muslims and Islam but are also vulnerable to disinformation campaigns, we would like to give them a brief idea of the concept and practice of cleanliness in Islam.

The importance of cleanliness in Islam can be gauged from this simple fact that most of the Books of Ahadith (Prophet’s deeds and sayings) and also the Books of Fiqh (Sharia) start with a chapter on Taharah that is cleanliness. (In fact the meaning and spirit behind the concept of Taharah is much beyond the superficiality of the conventional cleanliness). This particular chapter starts with the classification of water and goes on to describe how water gets impure or polluted, modes and methods of purification of water and host of other topics. This chapter ends with a concluding topic of ‘how Muslims should bath their dead?’

Muslims go much beyond the superficial and cosmetic concept of ‘Manicure & Pedicure’ imported from the West. They do not believe in the technology which combines toilet papers with odor-masking perfumes.

Muslim males are required to get circumcised so that even faint traces of urine are not entrapped in the foreskin of the genitals. The fruit of such a clean practice is borne out by the results of studies carried out by Prof. Schot of Australia, in the African AIDS belt, where to his surprise he discovered that the occurrence of this fatal disease was least among those who practiced circumcision. Dr. Advani of Tata Cancer Research Institute, Mumbai, also confirmed that Muslim women constitute the least percentage among the victims of vaginal cancer. The observation, he said, can only be explained by the fact that their males are circumcised.

Muslims are duty bound to shave off their armpits and pubic hair as a matter of routine practice. The males are also instructed to trim their moustaches in order to keep them clear of oral intakes. Our beloved Prophet strictly prohibited his followers to consume onion and garlic (indicating thereby any foul smelling consumable including cigarettes) before going to any congregational prayer in mosques, lest they offend fellow companions praying next to them. Brushing of teeth ( once in a day ) is very recent development of near past. Muslims are known to use Miswak, the herbal brush for the past 1400 years, five times a day prior to each ablution, as recommended by their Prophet.

Cleanliness is inbuilt in Islamic Sharia, as prerequisite to every form and mode of worship. Be it the recital of the holy Qur’an, offering of the five daily prayers, fasting or the Hajj. In fact a Muslim cannot offer his obligatory prayers with unclean body, clothes or using dirty premises. The Holy Qur’an instructs the faithful to ”keep their clothes clean” (74:4). They are also made to imbibe this very message that “Allah loves those who are clean.” (2:222). In fact to what length and breadth, Islam goes on to take care of its followers in respect of personal hygiene, can be exemplified by the afore-mentioned verse whereby Muslims are categorically prohibited to have sex with their mates during menses.

Well at this juncture someone may start feeling that Islam prescribes much more stringent code of cleanliness than they ever thought. They are not wrong. But they are not fully correct too! The emphasis in Islam is more on the cleanliness of the inner-self, that is heart, mind and soul. The external cleaning process and rituals in reality are the preparatory ground work to achieve the more important task and that is cleanliness of the inner-self, which is the ultimate goal of the religion.

Salaam all. I know that when you adopt a child in Islam it has to keep the last name of it's father. But what if it's first name is something that isn't Islamic or is Pagan origin? Could you change the adopted child's first name to something Islamic? My husband and I are thinking of adopting a child in our state(Ohio) and I am just wondering about this. Shukran.

Muslims what do you think about Muslim men who marry non-Islamic women? Does the Muslim men who do this think about maybe there is a Muslim girl out there for him, they know the culture and the religion so they know that as Muslim women we have to wait for the man to come. So when they choose other wise it bugs me. Some girls have no choice, they can’t wait forever for a Muslim man to come and ask for her, so they end of with a converted man that they met themselves. I'm sure that there are mix stories of this being done in both halal and haram ways, and in the end they marry. I know that it is great to have someone convert to Islam, but if the some Muslim men would get there act together then there would be no need for some of the girls to do this. This could be dangerous in some ways. Oh and lets not forget that to certain/some Arab mothers mid- late 20’s is too “old”, I know in other cases girls want to wait until there done with school or until their ready. Nothing is wrong with waiting for the right reasons, but not when it’s because the non-Islamic girls get the Muslim men. What do you think about this?

So I am going to say that HIJAB is a CHOICE and not forced by men- in ISLAM. It is the choice of the woman to wear it or not.

Should I mention that it is a choice AND IT IS IN THE QURAN, holy book for MUSLIMS?

What I need help with is to WHAT TO WRITE in the editorial and how to make it sound nice? Like i do not want people to think I am throwing it in their faces and am mad or anything like that.

I Just want to express my opinion- but in a nice way.

P.S. My teacher said this is the first time they have ever had an editorial piece on headscarf issues !!! CoOL!!

Help would be helpful...lol

I really need some good advice.

My family are literally causing me so much pain. I explain good things to them, yet they ignore me?

I got dragged to a engagment party (the one I mentioned before on YA). I explained to my parents and sister, yet they didn't respond, I told them I feel really arkward in the situations they put me in, yet they don't care and respond you have to go like the rest of the people!!

I fear I have sinned greatly as there was many things going on, that I usualy refrain from, i.e. mixing, (Though I sat in the corner with my sisters) also Music pounding in my ears, yet I sat back and wasn't able to do or say anything, as my family ignored me each time I did....

I don't feel valued, or cared for anymore....

Jews believed in Moses(pbuh) because he did miracles and so did jesus (pbuh). What drew people to islam in ancient times?

Surely it was not the scientific evidence in the quran.

I don't read Arabic. I have a Qur'an translation by Abdulla Yusuf Ali which I have been reading. I came across another translation by Muhammad A. S. Abdel Haleem. The comments say this book is written in modern English. So I'm thinking I might understand it better. Has anyone read this translation? Is it accurate?

[48:18] Allah was well pleased with the believers when they swore allegiance unto thee beneath the tree, and He knew what was in their hearts, and He sent down peace of reassurance on them, and hath rewarded them with a near victory

[48:29] Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves. Thou (O Muhammad) seest them bowing and falling prostrate (in worship), seeking bounty from Allah and (His) acceptance. The mark of them is on their foreheads from the traces of prostration. Such is their likeness in the Torah and their likeness in the Gospel - like as sown corn that sendeth forth its shoot and strengtheneth it and riseth firm upon its stalk, delighting the sowers - that He may enrage the disbelievers with (the sight of) them. Allah hath promised, unto such of them as believe and do good works, forgiveness and immense reward.
