M asha Allah. Another good story. Sheikh Mohammad, ruler of Dubai, has said all shopping malls there should have mosques. Now I know that almost all do have their own praying areas, but his specific call to make it necessary is quite appreciable. I remember when I was working in Dubai in the most poshest areas (on Sheikh Zayed Road), there weren't many or any mosque near by. There is not one on

Look at how women are being used/abused by the American military. This piece is just another one on the plight of women soldiers in the American army. It's not surprising that they don't get justice or their complaints of rape aren't taken up, because the very purpose for their deployment is to "serve" the men soldiers. This becomes blatantly clear with how openly officials deny to hear sexual

No post since quite some time now. I've been in the dilemma of switching blogging platforms. I was seriously thinking of going to wordpress because I was v unhappy with blogger's comment platform. It's not that interactive. But I found this third party IntenseDebate that seems to offer all those services available in wordpress's comment and more.So I decided against moving, although wordpress

Alhamdulillaah, Dubai has taken a good step towards banning nudity, playing loud music, dancing, kissing, and holding hands in the public. People are advised to wear modest clothes and respect the traditions of a Muslim country.Let's hope good for our Muslim countries. The point is, no matter how you try to justify, lewdness has a negative impact on the society as a whole. It disintegrates

Some of the questions she answers can leave adults puzzled. Masha Allah. Her parents, I'm sure her mother especially, must be congratulated for teaching her child Islam from such a young age. I pray that Allah makes her a pious and knowledgeable Muslimah. Aameen.Just look at the difference between households that practice Islam and that don't. Practicing parents who know their duties towards

I recently visited a Masjid (mosque) in Rehab, Jeddah. In one corner of the mosque, they have, as you can see in the pic, sofas to sit and read from the small library of books. I think that's pretty neat. It encourages reading and referencing. I mean if its out in the open, its more inviting than a closed out-of-sight room? At least for beginners like me.Though such facilities may be common in

While I do not have any comments - in fact I hope for good Insha Allah - for the changes made in the offices of education, health, the Shoura Council and the Hai'a (Commission for Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, also known as Mutawwa or Religious Police), I do have few things to say about the change in the Council of Senior Ulema (Islamic Scholars).International media, including that

Outrageous! Israel's attack on the poor Palestinians is cold murder, genocide and the most despicable form of terrorism. With the passage of time, Israel has only gone from bad to worse. Israel's attacks have intensified; it doesn't hesitate to attack any country, doesn't respect any country's sovereignty, and is a plain bully.Apart from the genocide it regularly carries out in Occupied Palestine

The issue of child marriage has been under a lot of discussion recently. The trials of the two young teens seeking divorce is making news everywhere. The crux of the problem, however, is not that judgment is being delayed or in child marriage itself. The real problem is: Parents being good or bad for their children.Children are under the custody of their parents. Father is primarily responsible

Today increasingly in media and otherwise the term Wahhabism is used to denote an "extreme interpretation" (as they call it) of Islam. "Its an extreme sect, strict and Saudi version of Islam." Such talks are not uncommon. However, all these comments are vague that do not specify details nor back their accusations with proofs.Let's get away from all this labeling and dividing Islam into groups,

Here starts a new blog, bringing back established facts - that are forgotten - in a fresh new pack to challenge some of the heavily publicized and "accepted" norms of the world's society... from the heartland of Islam - Saudi Arabia.
