Links for Learning Islam

Last updated on: February 17, 2010 at 8:54 am By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah. In conjunction with my radio show, www.blogtalkradio.com/sister-noorah, I am posting some links that will help people learn about Islam. From the absolute beginner, to the lifelong Muslim, all can benefit from these websites: I read these books, now available online in .pdf form, before I was Muslim. They present the beliefs of Islam clearly and in a readable manner: Islam in Focus: http://www.sultan.org/books/islam-in-focus.pdfTowards Understanding Islam: http://www.witness-pioneer.org/vil/Books/M_tui/ http://www.islamicity.com/ – Excellent comprehensive site. Includes, well,... Read more

From Snowmageddon to Snoverblown

Last updated on: February 10, 2010 at 10:26 pm By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah and hello! It’s Wednesday night. At least I think it is. It’s easy to lose track of time and date when you’re snowed in. One day seems much like another. We got about five or six inches over the foot-and-a-half from the previous storm. Still waiting for the snowplow to make the rounds. It’s been not too bad. Hubby is home, keeping busy with some stuff. I am organizing our – yuk –... Read more

Links to Beneficial Websites

Last updated on: January 27, 2010 at 9:42 am By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah Here are some links to beneficial websites. They are my “favorite few” to which I tend to recommend everyone. There is so much information that you can spend a lot of time here, so I don’t want to overwhelm you with tons of websites: www.islamicity.comwww.islamway.com – this pops up in Arabic, but there is a drop down for other languages for you to select. There is a flash player here to show you... Read more

Okay, let me get off my duff and go do some housework

Last updated on: January 21, 2010 at 12:36 pm By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Salaam Alaikum and hello all. I’ve spent much of the morning online, tidying up my e-mail addresses and my FB account, checking in at Help People Island on Second Life. Right now I’m just about done with my computer work for the morning. My computerized Adhan is telling me that it is time for the zhur prayer, so inshAllah as soon as I’m done here I’ll nip off to make wudu’ and then go pray. There is a cute grey... Read more

An Islamic advice website: www.IslamicAnswers.com

Last updated on: January 2, 2010 at 4:31 pm By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah I spend a fair amount of time toodling around online. I’m always looking for good websites. Mostly I’m looking for Islamic stuff, but sometimes I do get distracted by websites featuring adorable cats or political cartoons…. I had been to one site, zawaj.com, several times in the past, and had looked over their Q&A; companion site, formerly known as askbilqis.com and now known as IslamicAnswers.com. It is not a fatwa site; instead it... Read more

From the ShoeBomber to the CrotchBomber….

Last updated on: December 29, 2009 at 10:39 am By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah It seems like, just when things are settling down, along comes another “jihadi” willing to sacrifice his life, or at least his gonads, for the sake of Islam. As soon as I saw the breaking news coverage of the incident in the skies over Detroit, I knew that we would be in for weeks of wall-to-wall cable news coverage of the man, his motives, his training, and his choice of skivvies (boxers? briefs?...

Got a writing gig, mashAllah

Last updated on: December 29, 2009 at 10:35 am By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah As usual, I’ve neglected my poor blog and let it lie fallow for a long time. Amazing that nothing wrote itself in here while I was away. I’ve been pretty busy in real life, chasing kids, feeding hubby, doing all that wonderful domestic stuff that I detest, but, hey, can’t let the kids run around naked! I’ve still been teaching in Second Life. I have the weekly sisters’ halaqah, and while the numbers... Read more

Tuesday, Life Getting Back to Normal

Last updated on: August 18, 2009 at 1:10 pm By Nancy Qualls-Shehata

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah Today is Tuesday. The daily routine consists of hubby leaving the house early for work and me sleeping right through, lol. Obviously I’m not in my routine of getting up to feed him. Alhamdulilalh, the baby did not wake up, or if she did I didn’t hear her. I slept from about 11 pm to 8 this morning. That’s going to have to change when Abdel Hamid starts school next week. Alhamdulillah, I... Read more

Health Care in America… Or Not

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah As I write this, I’m having a miscarriage. Don’t read of if you don’t like the thought of blood, or if you don’t want to hear about it. I don’t want to hear about it and I’m experiencing it… I had a positive preg test in July. I was just getting over the flu, no idea if that had some effect. On the first of August I started spotting. Very light, brown, old... Read more
