This question might sound really silly, but, where do Dinosours come into Islam. I know you say you think of Adam and Eve in a metaphorical sense, but I don't quite understand, does that mean you think they do not exist? (Sorry If I'm wrong...
Islam and Buddhism: Can you be a Buddhist-Muslim? As I've always understood - Buddhism is a philosophy, and did not gain religious implications until long after Buddha's death. And that Buddha never told anyone to worship him. The ideologies of Buddhism are very similar to...

I know the Quran is not a science book but when you do take a look at science then at religion, science started making sense to me. I dont want to doubt this beautiful religion but I sometimes cant help but think. Isnt one of...

SalaamWaleikum. I've heard people say things like playing chess or any other leisurely activity, except from archery, horse-riding and swimming I think, is haraam as it's a waste of time and they count this is idle talk/action which of course has been said to be...
Salaam alykum. As someone who seems comfortable and open-minded when it comes to tackling various issues concerning Islam/Muslims in the "West", am I correct in assuming that you consciously avoid addressing LGBT issues because it's traditionally been seen as taboo to discuss in Islam? I'd...
Salaam alykum, I'm a female convert Alhamdulillah and I have been playing sports all my life & now that I'm 19 I have an opportunity to become a professional athlete. When I told my Muslim friends, they said that it is a bad and women...
Salaams, how does one love Allah and fear Allah at the same time? I can't seem to wrap my head around it....
Why does an argument that something is "Sunnah" automatically make an opinion or a practice "the only Islamic one" without even looking into the context? Even for hot button issues like circumcision, polygamy, child marriage in modern times. Should everything that was Sunnah get a...
Urgent; how exactly do you pray istikhara?...
What constitutes an "Islamic name"? What is an "un-Islamic" one? This has never been clear to me, I just know that many Muslims around the world take on Arab names for some reason. But these names existed in pre-Islamic times, too....

Was Aisha really 9 when she married the prophet? I've heard some say she was actually 18. I know it really shouldn't matter but it's been bothering me....
PLEASE ANSWER THIS IS IMPORTANT! I think I found a contradiction in the Qur'an. It says on 4:78 that good and bad are both from Allah, but in the next verse it says that good is from Allah, and bad is from you. So what's...
AsalaamuAlaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakahtu. I've never really told anyone about this, but I am terrified of death. It consumes me almost daily. I have much anxiety and I am always scared I will be punished for things I've done in the past when I...

Salaam. I want to read salat but I have a feeling im not reading the words accurately enough. For example I don't think I'm pronouncing the arabic 100% right. Should I carry on reading it this way whilst trying to perfect the arabic? or should...
Salam Aleikum, why is it that for muslims who don't speak arabic, when they're doing the prayers they have to recite the prayers in arabic.. isn't it the meaning of what we say that counts, and not the language you use to reach god?...
Asalam Alaykum! I just wanted to ask if it is bad not to answer someone's salam when you know their intention is to chat you up after you have said salam back? Because some guys tend to use this to chat girls up and I...
Salam Osama, I recently watched a really interesting documentary about untouched tribes in the Amazon who have never come into contact with their outside world. If a person has never come into contact with the ideology of Islam, then what? Does Islam deal with this...
As Muslims we aren't supposed to focus on the bad or dwell on the negative. It would be helpful for me though if I heard more stories of how a Muslim successfully dealt with a bad time or experience. I know your dad has one...
Assalam aleykom. One question. Who is Imam Al-Ghazzali and should he be revered as one of the greatest scholars?...
I realize my question is not a comfortable one but I simply still would like to know. Where do we draw the line between 'Metaphore' and 'Literalism'? You believe Adam & Hawa (alayhisalatu wa salaam) to be metaphorical, and that's totally fine (though I am...
