Fatima The Daughter of the Prophet Muhammad Her Life, a brief account? Muslim and muslima?
I like fatima so much. She is an example for all women just with 18 years old. Thank you for reminder
What is the most practical religion? Why?
I vote for my religion, Wicca. (Although I don't expect to get many upvotes for this position.)It's the most practical for me. Most "pagan" religions are more concerned with the actual doing or use of something rather than with theory and ideas.I agree with Shika Raghu that Hinduism is also very practical. If I'd been born in India or even lived there now I would probably be a Hindu. But living in the US it is more practical to be a Wiccan. I once read a very nice article in "Hinduism Today" that described Wicca as a Western form of Hinduism. As a Wiccan I can also practice Buddhist meditation without feeling any conflict.
I got married. I'm Muslim. I can't have sexual relations with my new wife because I'm shy. What should I do?
Assuming you are generally kind and thoughtful to your new wife, I can assure you that 99 out of 100 women will be okay with this. And 85 out of 100 will actually be charmed by it.From the woman's perspective, her main concern is likely to be whether it is "her fault." And she might deal with her worry by trying to fix matters in a way that backfires: hanging on you, flirting with you, increasing the pressure you feel. That's the biggest enemy: both of you worrying and trying too hard and putting each other under pressure.Recommendations:Become friends. Put love-making into the background. It's not that important!Do things together: cooking, taking walks, hanging out. This is what makes you a team.Explain your problem to her just like you explained it here: "I want to, but I am shy. Can we start slow?" Make sure she knows that it isn't because you regret the marriage.Start with whatever you're comfortable with. Maybe that means sleeping in the same room and saying good night to each other. Maybe you can hold her hand when you say good night. Maybe the day after that, you can kiss her hand, and then her wrist. Being warm and affectionate is the important thing.As long as you behave like her friend and she is the same for you, and you both remember that you have fifty years to get to know each other, things will be fine. You're normal. She's normal. It's okay.When you are much, much older, you both will always have the memory of the first charmed months of going slow and learning to be a couple. It will be a secret memory that no outside the marriage knows about. And it will seal your love forever.
Is it necessary for Muslim women to wear the hijab? If so, why? What if they don't wear it?
Hijab is a universal idea of standardizing the criteria for Modesty of Women and men alike. It’s a wide concept to standardize a women appearances applicable to all phase of life mother,sister, fiancee, wife,daughter etc.A hijab is a veil worn by some Muslim women in the presence of any male outside of their immediate family, which usually covers the head and chest. The word ḥijāb in the Quran refers not to women's clothing, but rather a spatial partition or curtain.When used in the context of women,hijab in Quran means modest dressing to protect women’s dignity and assurance of protection.The term can refer to any head, face(optional), or body covering worn by women that conforms to a certain standard of modesty.Terminology wise, Hijab can also be used to refer to the respectful seclusion of women from men in the public sphere, or it may denote a metaphysical dimension, for example referring to "the veil which separates man or the world from God".Most often, it is worn by Muslim women as a symbol of modesty and privacy. According to the Encyclopedia of Islam and Muslim World, modesty in the Quran concerns both men's and women's "gaze, gait, garments, and genitalia."The Qur'an instructs Muslim women to dress modestly.However, questions like, The type of veil? Amount of covering?, Face to be covered or left open ? etc. depends on wide variety of cultural, social and personal aspects and there should not be any concrete rule governing them.Below picture depicts the cultural variations in hijab worn by muslim women in various parts of the world.Hope the above explanation clarifies your query upto satisfactory extent.

If me and my husband (Indians) practice different religions, what are the possible problems my children will face?
Hari om , you are asking a question as to : “If me and my husband ( Indians ) practice different religions , what are the possible problems my children will face?.”This is a very thoughtful question .Jumping into the stream not knowing its depth as well as swimming would entail loss of life.When you are jumping into waters of unknown depth , average depth is of no significance.If you are 5 ft 6 inches height & the average depth is only 5 ft , but if the depth at some point is more than 6 ft , & if you don’t know swimming , you are bound to get drowned.Similarly , husband & wife practicing two religions - is similar to allowing innocent children into deep waters, without their ,knowledge of swimming.All religious practices at birth , marriage, nuptial, conception , birth of baby , cradle ceremony , naming function , aksharabhyaasam . . . . . . including death ceremony , obsequies & last right rituals are so different for different religions.Remember people have to come to your functions from both sides. Who will come? Will they move freely with both of you?What rituals you will practice?What rituals your husband will practice?What rituals your children will practice?By practicing different religions by husband & wife - you are driving the innocent children into deep difficulties.Think over coolly & calmly.It is not advisable for both of you to practice different religions.You have no right to make your children religious orphans.May God give you the necessary sagacity , courage & , wisdom to take a wise decision.Hari om.
What is the philosophy of marriage?
What is the philosophy of marriage?I first saw my wife-to-be at a fancy dress Christmas dance in 1957. She was dressed as one of the Belles of St. Trinian’s. She was truly horrible but my heart went skippity bump and I was smitten. It was another three months before she realised that I even existed.Based on longevity alone, I suppose I should have a philosophy of marriage but, in truth, I never suspected that there was any philosophy involved.If it’s not inappropriate for an atheist to pinch a text from the New Testament, the best comment I’ve seen on marriage comes from Mark 10:7–8: “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh.”It’s worked out that way for us so I guess old Mark must have known a thing or two.We’re very close, but that closeness hasn’t been based on restriction—rather each of us has enjoyed a great deal of freedom to pursue whatever interests or friendships we chose. Putting your spouse or partner on a leash seems a certain way to breed resentment.It’s probably impossible to talk about a philosophy of marriage without mentioning sex. (Stop salivating! I’m not going into detail.) Our sex life has been open, enthusiastic, and fun. I grew up at a time when “nice girls” didn’t discuss sex ; when a contemporary once asked what Lynne and I actually called “sex” I told him, explicitly, in words of four letters. He was horrified. “I prefer to respect my wife,” he said. Poor girl! She’s probably suffering from bedroom boredom.No single philosophy could encompass all marriages because no two couples are the same. We have to learn, adapt, and grow together. It ain’t for everybody but for those of us who enjoy such a relationship it’s beyond rubies.So there you have it: an instant (just add water) philosophy of marriage from your old Uncle David.Lynne isn’t interested in the Internet and, although she uses her smart phone for day-to-day things, we’ll never see her on Quora. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know many of you by name. When I find something interesting or funny I read it out to her. She thinks you’re an amazing community.
What do Muslims mean when they say there is no God but Allah?
In interpreting Islamic texts, one often finds layers. This sentence has a layered meaning1.Literal - It really means that Allah is the only God. It's either Allah or it's not a god. So Zeus doesn't exist. Odin doesn't exist. Osiris, and on and on. Now if someone worshipped Zeus, thinking Zeus created the universe, you could say that person was right to worship the creator of the universe. But any trait Zeus has that's inconsistent with Allah, like his being married to a goddess, Hera, is not true of Allah.2. Historical - In Islamic history up to the present, a person who said “there is no God but Allah” and then followed it by saying “and Muhammad is His prophet,” became a Muslim. This one sentence functionally means, “I am a Muslim now.”3. Political - By naming something as God, you implicitly give it mastery or authority over you. Conversely, by rejecting something as God, you choose not to give it authority over you. The political dimension of “no God but Allah” is to overthrow all leadership that does not subject itself to Allah as God. Put another way, you could change God into any of these words - “Lord, Emperor, King, President, Prime Minister, etc.” Now this doesn't mean Muslims reject government and live in anarchy. If you come in saying, “I want to govern you by the principles of Islam with your consent,” that is the ideal situation because it means Allah is on top, then the President, then the people. Sometimes circumstances dictate that a Muslim needs to live somewhere where the government does not strive to follow Islamic principles. But if the government permits religious practice with reasonable limits, then it's acceptable as an accommodation for the situation.This is by no means exhaustive. There are many well-founded meanings to “no God but Allah.” But this should serve as an introduction.
