Tue, 09 Mar 2010 11:13:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Joni http://www.30-days.net/islam/culture/customs/comment-page-1/#comment-7344 Joni Sun, 09 Aug 2009 02:17:57 +0000 http://www.30-days.net/reveal/customs/#comment-7344 Kahalid, Greeting to you! A few queries for you, hope you don't mind if I ask you some burning questions I have in my heart.? May I enquire how exactly do you worship or whom do you worship? What do you think of Mohammad marrying a child? Do you think that was lawful for Mohammad to consumate that marriage? Why are you expecting Jesus to return to earth and not Mohammad? Would I dare to suggest that Jesus is going to be your judge ? If you believe that Jesus is going to judge the peoples of all the earth including the followers of Islam , why then kill the followers of Jesus? Why are so many followers of Islam experiencing Jesus appearing to them in dreams and visions ? Why are so many devout followers of Islam converting to become followers of Jesus? I am from Ireland and love , Muslims and all alike. My family grew up along side Muslims who befriended us. We loved and respected each other and were all happy in our own religion. I never asked my Muslim neighbours any of these questions, I didn't wish to be disrespectful. I only wish I could see my dear Muslim friends now to warn them of the danger they are in. They were lovley people. I would hate to see any one get hurt never mind go to hell. I am not a violent person. I cannot see God wanting people with His Holy Spirit to harm or kill others. I see God as a righteous God who loves us but who will repay those (Himself) with unrepentant hearts There is no sin in Him and He wants us to be like Him. It is a sin to kill or hurt people. Even our conscience convicts us of any wrong doings. My heart longs to see the people of every nation ,walking in peace and harmony.: full of the Holy Spirit. That we all would please God by loving Him and loving our neighbour as ourselves. May God help each person who is really seeking Him to be found by the living Saviour! Good bye for now,Khalid Kahalid,

You will see that some people do go to the mosque during prayer times, others may stop what they are doing, but most continue as usual during times you are likely to walking around. It is always good to be curious and the easiest is to ask people on the street what they would expect of you. It will certainly open some doors to discuss different views on the subject of prayer. In more religious countries during Ramadan, the expectation will be for you to stay out their way, but anyway as a westerner you are not expected to do anything but be polite hold to your own Christian heritage. Egypt is relatively secular and has tonnes of tourists, there are no expectations for you. Trust that helps. Scott, there is nothing very special to expect in Egypt during prayer times.

I'm happy to hear that more mosques are being built in your area, mashallah. As for your comment on the lady not being able to fast due to the ulcer, how can you be glad to hear that she has an ailment? That's not very nice of you. You should be empathetic towards people and not be glad they are in pain or cannot pray. Can you please be more clear about what you mean when you say "[t]his whole Muslim issue in the USA..."? Is that people are turning to Islam everyday that worries you? Why? We believe in God, in his messengers, the coming of the messiah Jesus (as), Judgment Day ...etc. Why be afraid, when you should be happy for us that people are turning away from sin and worshiping God instead. Assalamu alaikum... Jacqueline,

We have 1 mosque and heard 2 more were to be built. This would surround our city. Praying against this. One friend told me she could not fast during this time of Ramadan because she has an ulcer. I was glad to hear. She is now in Iran and will be bringing her grandparents back with her to stay here. All the family are citizens. The brother wants to be a policeman. This whole Muslim issue in the USA is a concern to me. I pray what is done in secret will be brought to the light so people are not hurt and so for our soldiers too. What do you think?
