There are a few things I've learned over the last year. The Hijab is a handy tool that can save your life if falling out of a plane, cover that bad hair day and make any woman look absolutely angelic...we'll almost any woman. A good Quran reciter can calm your soul with the Quran. A bad reciter can make the words of God sound like a dying cat. Wudu is the cure for the heat of anger, feeling down about yourself, and that funky foot odor from old sandals. Most Muslims show a very kind, charitable soul. They gently call you to Islam and encourage the search for truth. These are disproportionate to those muslims that call you Kafir and tell you that you're hellfire bound. Mohammed (pbuh) had 12 wives, including a Christian woman. His first wife was intelligent, educated and owned her own business. His youngest was literate, while he was not. Women are respected in Islam, women are not respected by men of many cultures. There is a difference. Jihad is a good thing, Hirabah is a bad thing. Hypocrites and Apostates are in all religions. Its not about the group or individual, its about the basics. Islam is a beautifully simplistic religion that people make harder than it really is. You will never get two Muslims to agree on everything. The only thing more confusing than hadiths are fatwas, when in doubt, look at the Quran. In the end, Islamicity is a wonderfully warm place filled with serious students, kind mothers, reverts, born muslims, christians, one great Jew, and some really funny jokers. I wish to say thank you to all those that have taught me over the last year. God Bless everyone of you and keep your families safe from harm. With Sincere Love, Angela Marie Daley, that Mormon Girl |

What is hirabah? Err I honestly don't know, never heard or read the word myself he he, and I am a muslim by the sound of it.
This is the truest of them all - I am the living proof of it. There is only one agreement I make with fellow muslims - to disagree . Angela you hit the nail in all those points. |

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this past year Angela. Life certainly is a learning experience isn't it? I wish I could remember some of what I've learned in this past year, but, I do know that being content with what Allah has given me is the best thing I've ever learned, period. Peace, ummziba. |
