AL QURAN

O mankind! Worship your Lord (Allah), who has created you As well as those before you; Do so that you are saved. It is He Who has made the earth A resting-place for you, And the sky a canopy, And sent down water from above With which He brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Do not, then, set up rivals to Allah When you know (the truth). (The Qura'n 2:21-22)

AL_HADITH

Narrated Sahl: The Prophet said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it."

The answers given in our correspondence were not meant to be comprehensive in nature but, rather moderate and brief.   It should be mentioned that, the reader  may  find some grammatical and structural mistakes in the questions. We prefer to leave them as they were presented to us in order to maintain originality.    Eventually, these correspondence will be   converted into a book form and the answers will be expounded then.

It is important to point out that we have included some questions which our readers may find or consider disgusting and may not allow children to read. We presented them, because they are real in our community and we have to Islamically address them.

Unequivocally, some scholars and even non-scholars will disagree with some of our answers. That is a natural phenomenon.  If you disagree with us, please, contact us at (313) 366-6800 or email us at muslimfamily@reliefonline.org
